Hi,
I'm having two problems with this phone's camera:
1. Color problem - there is too much red on every pic is made, well at least on phone screen
2. Autofocus problem - even when I tap screen on place where I want it to be focused and making photos outside with good light, almost all photos aren't sharp
what can I do about that? Can I change camera software?
I love my 64 GB Mi MAX. My previous phone was a 6" Huawei Ascend Mate 7 (32 GB dual SIM). The Mi MAX is everything my Mate 7 was (and more) at HALF the price of my previous mate 7. However, I find it wastes a lot of space as it doesn't utilize the large screen size very well. My previous mate 7 (currently on Marshmallow) has a 'view mode' option in which you can adjust the amount of information/reading material/screen elements that can fit into the screen. I just found out that despite the bigger screen size (6.44"), my Mi MAX is not able to match the information density/screen elements density of my smaller, 6", 2-year old Mate 7. With my Mate 7, I am able to fit more screen items or fit in more lines and columns of text (like the number of displayed 'contact names' in one screen for example, or the number of lines displayed in the settings page). Essentially, there is more reading space in my 6" Mate 7 than in my Mi MAX. Somehow it's disappointing considering the Mi MAX screen is 0.44" larger than the Mate 7.
Is there a way to fix this without rooting the phone or unlocking the bootloader?
I'd appreciate any step-by-step help on this matter. Thanks.
Also, I find the screen on the Mi Max is not as sensitive on some parts (notably, the right half). 'Next page' swiping at the right half portion of the screen sometimes doesn't get registered by the screen whereas on the left half portion, the 'next page' swipe always gets registered (no second try needed). The long press (for example, to open links in a separate tab in Chrome) is also less sensitive on the right half portion; sometimes it doesn't register at the first try, or that you need to 'long press' harder for the long press to register (or release and try a second or third time). Never had this issue with my Mate 7 which was perfectly sensitive and responsive to touch in ALL screen areas.
Anybody else has this issue? (I believe it is not very noticeable unless you came from a phone with excellent, or perfect screen sensitivity.) Is this a software or a hardware issue? Anyone else notice this on their Mi Max or Xiaomi phones? Is there a way to adjust/calibrate screen sensitivity on the Mi Max? or a 'gloves mode' perhaps like on the Mate 7? I don't find any 'gloves mode' on the settings menu of my Mi Max. (Miui 7.3.14.0.0). Any help/suggestion on this is welcome. By the way, I don't use any screen protector on my Mi Max so the screen sensitivity issue is not caused by any screen protector.
-------------------------
What I like about the Mi Max (and Mate 7): large screen with sufficient 'retina' resolution, large battery capacity, accurate fingerprint sensor, dual sim, LTE-only option, metal body and navigation buttons that do not occupy screen space. Advantages unique to Mi Max: IR blaster, quick charge 3.0 (although my mate 7 actually charges faster than Mi Max on my Aukey quick charge 3.0 charger). Also, price advantage. Advantages unique to Mate 7: Excellent touchscreen sensitivity, screen display density (has 'view modes' to maximize screen information displayed), NFC-capable (though I don't use it).

About the first question, this may help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-how-to-change-dpi-root-t3335596
the appropriate dpi value for you is needed to be found.
360 dpi work fine!
I use 340
I use 280 DPI for most stuff but some things I have set to 300 or 320 DPI. It feels much more like a little computer that way.

Does anyone has cosmetic issues with icons after dpi change?
Edit.
Build.prop edit works for the issue.

Hi,
for touch screen sensitive you are right - I have the same problem
but i fixed this problem by force stop Themes app. and clear cache data .
this is software error . I think that
try and tell me the result.
On MIUI 8, I added these lines to build.prop:
ro.sf.lcd_density=390
persist.miui.density_v2=390
In Settings/Display, I set font size to medium.
That way I get a much smaller status bar and smaller icons, while text is still big enough to read comfortably with the phone held at arm's length. I wouldn't use tiny dpi values because text becomes too small. See attached screenshot of Firefox Android.
On MIUI I always have the touch issue where scrolling is difficult and touches are not registered. I don't have that issue at all on CM13 or Resurrection Remix so it's definitely something with MIUI that is the problem.

Steps:
1- Activate Developer options
2- Memory optimization = High
3- Turn on MIUI optimization = Off
also don't use system launcher and Themes app. and clear data cache of system launcher and Themes app.
use another launcher like Nova
Thanks

I've done all that and I never use the stock launcher, always Nova and the issue is always there on Miui. Now that my Resurrection Remix ROM is 100 percent stable and fast with good battery life I just use that now.
I'm glad the touch screen sensitivity issue on the Mi Max is confirmed by other Mi Max owners here. Frankly, it's annoying to me. Never had a smartphone before like the Mi Max that seems to be 'confused' in distinguishing between vertical and horizontal swipes and at times, 'hesitates' by not fully executing the swipe. Very common in Gmail (where the side bar can be swiped horizontally or vertically) or in the themes app where you scroll horizontally to see previews of the theme. I'm hoping Xiaomi fixes this issue if not in MIUI8, then at least in MIUI9 or the global Nougat release for the Mi Max.

I never use the default launcher. Have always been on Nova Prime in all my phones and tablets. Also had turned off MIUI optimization from the first day I got my Mi Max. The only thing new I did in your suggestion is to set Memory optimization to 'High' (from the default which is 'Medium') and to clear data cache of system launcher and themes app. The touch sensitivity problem is still there. Very annoying in Gmail app. My scroll tests on the Gmail sidebar (up and down several times in a row) reveals the problem is still there even with your suggested settings. I guess it's really a MIUI issue which Xiaomi needs to fix. It really makes the phone feel cheap (although I must admit, it is indeed a cheaply priced phone for what it has to offer: at this price, Samsung only has the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime as the best it can offer, which has way smaller screen, lower specced processor, no ir blaster and much smaller battery capacity).
Hi
I recently bought Xiaomi Mi Max 3gb, with MIUI Global 8.1 Stable 8.1.3.0.0(MBCMIDI) on it.
Great phone but definitely got dissappointed after 2 days of using it couse of the touch screen issues.
Hoped to solve the problem by entering to touch sensor test(through *#*#64663#*#* ) and activating Touch calibration, but unfortunately there is no “ Touch calibration“ option, just“pass“ and “fail“.
Tried changing Memory optimization to high but no use.
Is there some solution to the problem?
Thanx
What are the issues?

Hello,
sometimes I'll find usefull using the fold in 'stand' mode, semi flexed about 60 degrees, and working with the front display/camera, is this even possible? I can't find any 'mode' to force using the front display instead of the internal one.
Also, it will be usefull to use the front screen camera while using the phone semiflexed, but again, I can't find the way to select this camera while semiflexed and with the internal display in use.
Thank you !
Hello,
I don't know what settings you have but at 60° I still can see the exterior screen here and front camera is matching exterior too. I tested with closed phone, start screen then open at 60°.
Ok at 45° it's switching to internal screen. Not sure what you mean, but you can play with labs settings and flex mode.

Hey ric, you point me out to my problem, If the front screen is 'on' y can open the phone until more or less 60º, i was ttryng the opposite, start with the phone opened, and begin closing it. Thank you!
Regarding the use of the front screen camera while in flex mode and using the inner screen, is this possible?
Wait i don't understand. If you are watching front screen, front camera is working. But I think it's impossible to use internal camera (no sense to do this no?) Try also modes and routines if you want to test actions with folding status

sorry, i didn't explain it right.
I want to use the fold in flex mode, or even unfolded, but be able to switch (inside the camera app) all over the cameras, even the one in the front 6.2 screen
Why don't you turn the Fold 180° and youse the main camara at the Back. Ok, the phone lays on the front display in this case. Put a silk or paper towel under it and it will be fine.

that's the reason, because I don't have anything protecting the front screen, but yes, that's always an option. Anyway, samsung should let us use all the cameras while unfolded.
well, maybe they should. In my opinion the front camara is the least favourite one to use in almost all possible situations. Selfie? Use the main cam unfolded with the front display as preview. Video call? The display cam under main screen does a good job for video calls and the big screen is amazing for that. Semiflex? Use the main cam for things behind the phone, it's amazing for that.
Just don't use the front cam. I mean, ok, if you need a quick mirror to check your face, than it's the quickest cam ready to check. But in other cases i avoid the front cam.
