I have flashed the Pixel experience from xda. Smoother than miui and excellent battery life.

How about NFC?
Does Google Pay works?

Had been thinking to change to Pixel 4a recently as I had a company apps that can't run due to Root/Malware detected, even though my phone is not rooted and all other apps are working fine.

Since andriod 8 with project treble, custom ROM no longer require root. Prior to Project treble, custom ROM need access to the low level driver and hence require root.

Yes, google pay, bank apps etc will work like regular offical ROM on pixel experience so long you don't try to root it via Magisk. Safetynet will pass. Make sure u are on the latest 23 Sep build as one build before this the dev broke safetynet.

Its really tempting but this is my working phone and I need it for work daily. Changing to Pixel Experience will need to wipeout, and my work apps need to be re-setup, too many things that can go wrong. Sianz already... Think I will just get Pixel 4a as a good excuse for my new phone itch.

Hello, is there a way to rollback the MIUI 12 OTA update? Ever since I updated, the NFC has been having problems, sometimes will suddenly stop working and I have to restart the phone/reinstall google pay etc. Then it will work again.

Have you tried a factory reset? It is a lot of work to move things out(since no SD) and have to reinstall stuff but it solved most of issues .SD)

drop on floor. no screenprotector and casing using default casing.

top left corner chip off, crack branch out like flower.

That's why good glass protector is a need. Now u need to pay few hundred just to replace the screen else live with it.. But the value drop alot when selling.

Price of good tempered glass the most $15
Price of phone glass screen replacement. - at least $150 and dun know how many hours of lost time during repair.

The monqiqi recommended in this thread in one of the earlier posts is good

Tho the range is limited. Don't have Mi A1, Pocophone F1 and Mate 10 and Sony xz1 which are what I have around the house owned by the various family members.

Dont update to MIUI 12.0.5.0, broke whatsapp and other notifications settings when phone goes to sleep. I have autostart and no battery optimizer on for those apps, locked in recent apps so cant be cleared.

Whatsapp and other apps dont give notifications until opened, damn irritating. Anybody manage to solve this issue on the latest rom?
