So I bought this Poco F3. Now the battery is losing capacity to about 50% after 3 years.
Mine has reach 60% if accubattery is to be belived after 2 years.

I been stopping at 80% as often as possible, but I haven't been charging before it reaches too low recently, I been charging after it reach 5%.

I plan on doing a few deep cycle of charging as it seem to still be charging at 100%, chances are, the percentage is just mess up and 80% isn't actually 80%.

Seem like a lot of users on reddit suggest nohon battery for replacement, my battery isn't bulging like others so I. still don't have any idea on how to remove the back yet if I go that route.

can turn off animations or make to go faster in developer options page .... seen it there before ... but unlock dev options can break ibanking
I have developer options always on, for floating windows since shopee and others don't allow floating them normally.

The only bank app that had an issue was GXS so I just uninstalled it. it might be due to other apps and not developer options though.

Mine got upgraded to hyperos and the notification on the top left only shows one notification with a few dots.

Anyone managed to get it back listing more notifications?

Mine auto updated also.
I hate this update. Again it's more like a downgrade!!

Previously, MiMax also. Max2 and Max 3 got worse. I refused to buy.
Xiaomi is like bait and switch tricking.
1st version is cheap and good. They built up a reputation. Then they cheapen and made new versions worse and catch those still believing in them.

I'm still waiting for an updated big phone like the MiMax1. I can hold and operate with one hand MOST of the time. I guess the big screen is too expensive for a niche market.
Maybe I'll wait for the 7" tablets to shrink their big bezels.

Mine never update, maybe you guys accidentally allowed the phone to auto update or accidentally pressed to update it? My F3 has shown the notification but I just ignore.

HI guys, after upgrading to hyperOS I encounter apps download itself without my approval. Does anyone encounter this issue? How do I put a stop to this nonsense? Thanks...

Perhaps check your Play Store settings, there's a setting in the Play Store while downloading Apps which is a tick box selection, that will download to other devices logged in to the same account on other devices.
Likely because of that if you download from other devices and it appears in your F3, since there is no known settings that will auto download apps.
Refer to link for reference of logic.

Anyone know any good place offering battery replacement at decent price? Mine just got under 80% after using it for 3 years (about 2 years as main phone, 1 year as gaming phone).

Performance wise really still not much complain, just battery not so lasting already. Trying to see if can get the battery replaced and continue using it for another 2-3 years as second phone haha.
