Pocophone F3

[Hailgod]

my main draining "apps" was android systems and kernel (android os). the remaining 20% is whatsapp, gservices and some other apps. not going to disable those things, it makes my usage easier, dont make sense to disable just for 5% batt.
im only here to feedback that debloat did nothing for me

Mine did quite a bit though. But your apps installed and configuration is different from mine. So not a good gauge also as battery life differs as usage pattern and apps used are different

Debloated and set up auto battery saver from 2 am to 7 am and my overnight drain was only about 6%. Quite happy about that.

Also, saw the xundd case's photo here and got poisoned so just ordered it and waiting for it to come. looks like a great case to replace my current nilkin.

My Norton 360 not always able to scan for the apps in Playstore unless it is running in background.

Disable battery optimization and allow the app to scan playstore already. Enabled auto-start.

Sometimes, after wake up, it can scan. Sometimes cannot.

Seems MIUI really troublesome.

i just started to experiment something maybe you can try too and share your results

1. Nova Prime also set autostart + no battery restriction
2. Nova Launcher under other permissions allow display pop-up windows while running in the background

after that do not touch anymore settings under both of them. just now i tried enabling and disabling full screen mode for nova launcher then the accessibility thing happen again. so far mine has been okay.

I've set the settings as per your suggestion.. let's see if it lose the Accessibility or not. My phone is also in Battery Saver mode, not sure if that causes Accessibility to be lost

battery drain didnt seem any better after debloat. - 10% overnight

Mine i turn off wifi, data and bluetooth but left the phone enabled for calls.. lost 2 percent overnight

Miui has tighter control. So some dont like miui as the settings to configure everything is all over the place

But for me is just another android OS. Acceptable for me at the pricepoint but if on mi 11 ultra, i really need to consider properly as the phone isnt cheap

got to remember to disable MIUI built in antivirus too.

i THINK you will need to disable battery saver mode as its main function is to disable as many things as possible to save battery. but i may be wrong..

Reading the last few pages, look like there's a lot of problems

Any summary of what are the critical issues?
Are there global rom without the china apps?

I had many XM phones and most of the time, after removing, there will be some issues later or they may get reinstalled during updates.
The MIUI battery saving features also by default almost disable everything unless enabled one by one in both battery and other settings.

Actually there are no critical issues except some complaint about the overnight battery drain which some of us dont encounter it after debloating

This phone comes with global rom, there are no china apps other than some bloatware such as netflix, amazon shopping, some game apps etc which can be removed just by dragging the icon to the uninstall button at top right corner or by using the Xiaomi ADB Debugging tool

I do not encounter any issues thus far by removing the apps that i dont need though, unsure about the rest

I did not use the battery saving feature at all for now as i know it can be aggressive in killing background tasks and i did not experience any battery drain by not using it too

same. no major issues for me. overnight drain well within 5=10% after debloat.
i also did not use battery save feature
just tweak it as and when needed

Yeah i'm still monitoring.. even my Blokada also sometimes gets killed even though i've done all the necessary settings.. if still don't improve then i'll turn off the Battery Saver mode

the only glaring issue ive seen is the wifi ac range is not great.
high speed but i can lose connection and drop to 4g on my bed. no such problem on my f1

oh and if you use PiP mode, you probably want to set to 60hz.

you may disable MIUI Optimization if you think its too agressive. previously i disabled it on my RMN3P and it does keep more apps alive (3GB RAM iirc). but hearsay there will be hiccups if its disabled.

i have been having 0~1% drain overnight after debloat. this phone (and X3P) is very good for daily normal usage at its price.

What should i look out for? EIN Sticker? or anything else?

 

[testerjp]

If one day there's an update, will i need to debloat again or it's going to be forever?
Is the debloat an app that is running in the background?

Is the camera quality decent enough?

There will be no EIN sticker for now. All shipped from xiaomi warehouse at HK.

Just ensure is sealed can liao
