tl;dr my phone is laggy only when I'm typing and sometimes reverse letters.
I've had a Xiaomi Mi 5 until recently, then I bought a Redmi Note 8 and I noticed the typing experience isn't the same. I mean, the screen is different and I didn't use MIUI on the Mi 5, but that's the only difference. I use the GBoard app with the exact same configurations as it were on the Mi 5.
The problem lies mostly when I type letters that are in the border of the screen, like "q", "p" or the button that change to the Symbols and Numbers. The typing feels a bit "laggy" and sometimes the q's and p's reverses the order like when I type "problem" it goes like "rpoblem", same with "queue" and it goes like "uqeue". When I type fast, the problem always occurs, when I type slowly it's more rare, but also occurs.
For the center of the screen, no other letters does this reversing thing, but I can feel that when I press the letters, there's a micro-delay between me pressing and the letter actually showing, something that I've never felt while using the Mi 5.
I'm tempted on rooting my phone and changing the OS, but I don't know if it'll solve the problem. Did anyone feel or notice something similar to my rpoblem?

Is it a hardware issue? Maybe check if it shows up in other apps, if your device is still covered by warranty get it replaced or fixed.

It only happens when I'm typing and I've only tested while using GBoard, it's the app I've always used and I don't want to change.
But if you have any other keyboard app suggestion for me to try I'll do it.

Used to use Swiftkey, but Microsoft.
I mainly use GBoard, its a good app. Most keyboard apps I see on the store are either paid, riddled with ads or something from Clean Master (data collection, privacy issues, and ads). Your best bet would be sideload a keyboard app from APKMirror such as the Xperia keyboard, remembered that to be quite good.

I don't think it's worth the effort since I'm using it like this for the past three weeks. I'm thinking about unlocking the bootloader next week when I'm home to install another ROM, do you have any suggestions? I don't quite like MIUI.
Also, is there a RN8 Telegram group?

There is Pixel Experience and POSP. Haven't tried either yet though. You can also wait for LineageOS.
Not sure about the telegram group, but there's been some stuff on XDA about telegram groups for a device though.

I think I'm gonna try POSP. For now, I don't want to lose my warranty. About the tianma panel problem (temporary image retention), do you think I should try a replacement?

If you are still under warranty, by all means give it a try.
The replacement may not come with a different panel though, as some have been stating.
Hey man! Did the ROM change fix it?
I just received my RN8 today and immediately noticed the laggy borders. Even in the nav bar.

I have issue with my widgets after unlock. Most of the time after screen unlock, widgets disappear for one or two seconds. It looks like widgets reloading from some reason. I have tried factory reset, hard reset, even flash kdz file, but still no change.
Anyone have an idea what can be root of this problem?

Same sentiments on LG G2...got ducking tired of it and switched to Nova!
It's not normal and it's the launcher. Launcher redraws do that.
If you have lots of apps running, well the launcher is "reloaded" when you go back home. Due to the nature of heavy things happening on the G3 lock screen I think this happens a lot.
Third party launchers alleviate the issue to some extent.
I also tried to edit build.prop file in system where i added ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1, but it didn't help.
There must be some way, how to keep launcher in memory.
By using third party launchers i will miss some widgets.
To solve this blink issue, I use AppSetting (Xposed Module) and i select "Resident" in settings of com.lge.launcher2.
Reboot, and you're done.
This option let your phone to keep this application in RAM.
Thanks...solve my problem

i checked every single item and enabled anything related to notifications
even network signal is full and whenever i try to call or i get call it gives out of coverage
i m sure its software bug ...
i even changed region to so many but nothing
i wiped data after each install of rom
the only doubt i have is
in app settings in installed app
there is system notifications
no sound
and i press it i found all notifications are on
That's the problem with Chinese ROMs
I have a global version and np problems whatsoever.
Had the same problem with the Huawei honor note 8 Chinese.
Partial fix was to add widgets for all the apps that you can on the home page, or open each one up and keep them running in the background without closing them.

Same problem here with GMAIL only, I was receiving delayed notification(1 or 2 hours). Changed with k9, now works fine. I'm on MIUI 10 Global (no root, no bootloader a virgin one
From time to time, I receive a whatsapp message which wakes up the screen, but without any sound (very strange).
I'm quite unhappy with the notifications system

Yes thats what i have notifications come with no sound and only wake up screen light then second one with sound but i installed the global beta and its better than global stable so far with last update.
Basically what I had to do was manually turn on all notification sounds and pop ups. Some apps simply cannot be turned on like Google messages.
Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing

Hello,
I need a bit of help on this, my phone has really weird permissions issues. For example, when I want to configure an app for the first time that tells me to go enable notification access and it sends me to the screen where you can toggle notification access for a lot of apps and you activate the access for the app in question, the app doesn't see that you turned the permission on when it is on (double checked). I'll link a YT video I made that shows the issue perfectly. (please take note that this happens on EVERY app that asks for permissions this way)
The video might be blurry due to YT taking its time to process the video in its full HD glory.
https://youtu.be/lPkQYS7XURo
I tried resetting the phone and clearing the dalvik cache to no avail... And I don't know if its related, but both the Facebook app and the Messenger App crash really easily while doing the most mundane stuff (sending an image is often too much). They both have full permissions enabled. Weird, huh ?

Hey everyone,
recently I bought a Poco f5 and had lag when typing fast and noticed that there was lag in the bottom corners, returned the phone, and got a new one and it has the same problem, I tried another unit from someone and it also has the same thing, it annoys me so much as sometimes while typing fast some keys are skipped because of the slow responsiveness in corners, if it is there for a reason, it shouldn't be affecting the typing experience, it is mostly from the firmware but idk tbh, I had the same thing in a mi 11 ultra and sold it, the problem isn't with specific apps, it is within the whole system (probably most poco f5 phones have that thing).
How to check if you have the same issue: go to CIT and go to touch test then long press the x in the bottom corners and compare it with the top corners.
things I have tried but none worked :
1- flashing xiaomi.eu.
2- resetting the phone.
3- changing long-press delay in settings to short.
4- changing the navigation gestures.
5- searching online for other fixes.

Similar behaviour in Nova Launcher, not noticable in every day life. As another person mentioned I didnt even notice this before seeing this post.
Could be some sort of edge palm rejection thing? And solved in future updates/custom ROMs?

yeah, but one click isn't as responsive as anywhere else, long clicks are annoying when holding "a" down and when pressing shift and also when pressing the symbols switch button are not as responsive too. it is especially annoying when you make your keyboard smaller and less shifted up thus more keys are closer to these corners which affects typing experience even more. I can't even stand typing on the phone after coming from oneplus 7 pro which was much much more responsive to type on and almost 4 years older, maybe because I type fast and used to better responsiveness I notice it easily.

it is not in the launchers only, it is everywhere within the system (worse responsiveness in bottom corners).
