I find the battery life do do only... Not very good, not very bad... Decent only

proximity sensor somehow works only when you are lifting the phone towards your ears, if u lay your phone flat on table, it will not react to light

Thanks. Yes I tested. When the phone held vertically, the proximity sensor work and show 0. So it seems to be by design.

The standard is at 120Hz, if you switch it to 60hz it will save quite a bit of battery

hi, im new f3 user,previously useing iphonex. the phone is very beastly i like it but i encounter some problem not sure how to fix,

i type on notepad but after typing awhile the whole keypad become very lag i read is because i i double space, have to reboot phone to back to normal but again typing awhile will have same problem again, anyone know how to solve it?

another question is it there anyway to set the silent to like iphone, when playing games is all silent but when phone call and go youtube and watch video got sound, if i down the sound to lowest, when play game is silent and when ppl call also silent, i need to up the volume then can hear ppl talk and watch youtube, then when play game i need to down volume back to silent again. iphone silent is like when gming all silent but if ppl call and watch youtube got sound so i dont have to keep adjust up n down the volume

another problem is when i point my camera to the scanner instead of bar come up to press, is a small QR code come out at the side then i have to click it and will direct me to download trace together. but when i download and everything it keep saying trace together not working as no permission. i went to permission and see looks like all ok but gain i try to scan and use keep saying no permission

Edit: trace together works after changing the app battery saver to no restriction as mentioned in previous post but the pop up still dosent come up, only a QR code icon appear on the right side have to click it and click open, extra steps.

app based volume? that sounds annoying as hell. you probably need tasker to make this kind of thing work.

 

[Cokester]

u can change the sound for individual game,
When u press volume button, there will be a music icon appearring on the left screen.
Tap it and u will see main volume and game volume.
Adjust the game volume while keeping the main volume unchange.

Yes, this is normal. Any phone also requires this, for samsung, xiaomi and oneplus at least

I just realised the Camera app's mirroring for the front-facing camera isn't working. The option is already turned on in the settings. Can anyone check and verify if this is also present in your F3?

My image still have the text backwards which means didn't mirror. You on mi.eu rom? Mine is the official global.

Oh, just found out that if don't flip, the image saved won't be flipped but the live view of the camera will always be the mirror flipped regardless of the option...

Anyone encounter issue with trace together app? It is not detecting my phone when I try tapping it at the new safe entry gateway. My Trace together app is running correctly in the background. Very strange issue.

Think Poco F3 is one of those phones that is not Bluetooth compatible with the gateway. Can check the TraceTogether/SafeEntry FAQs on their site.
