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,
When I scroll the text seems to get blurry it smears out a bit u can compare it with a old tft screen, the phone with miui 9.5.17.0 on it.
Is there some fix for it? It is pretty enjoying, I already set Force gpu to render 2d.
hey I have the same question. I bought my father the Redmi Note 5 and i got myself a Mi 8. When comparing the two, I noticed as well that the screen gets very blurry while scrolling. It doesnt matter if its in app drawer, twitter, settings, instagram, facebook etc., it is system-wide. My Mi 8 does not have this "blur effect" when scrolling. Both phones running on latest MIUI beta.
Try changing theme... Some compatibility issues .. try ... If it works for you...
Not helping either. Its more of a Ghosting effect when scrolling etc. Nobody noticed this behaviour on their Note 5?
Yes, I have this as well and its very annoying. Have tried various roms but this is still present to varying degrees.
Although the phone is value for what you get, this is the one area were your getting what you payed for.
yeah ok I read on notebookcheck.com that the redmi note 5 pro has a weak grey to grey response time, which causes the ghosting effect. maybe theres a rom or app or whatever, which can tweak the panel response time!?
Hey guys , in my Redmi note 9 Pro max (miui 12.0.1) when I set the dpi to 490 the status bar appears only half of the original while streaming YouTube or other media streaming apps in landscape mode. What can be done (without and without root) to correct it. I wanna have the 490 dpi to make the UI adorable so I'm not gonna change it.

Yeah happens to me too , but a simple reboot fixes it.
Nope, I've tried it many times. I even tried hiding the punch hole but nothing works. But it actually works for a cache cycle. A reboot or any other alteration brings this issue back.

Making notch appear as default solves the issue.
After watching a lot of videos I had some questions for which I have not found answer anywhere, Please try to check these and respond if possible.
1. Open any browser or any app settings which has dark theme then click on any option and notice there will be a color change issue (from black to greyish) - I have checked this in iQOO 7 too and this is same with iQOO 9 SE
2. Is there any option to change accent color in iQOO 9 SE?
3. Can we change Notification panel (design) or shape and size of icons?
4. How to hide system apps as in privacy there's no system app shown
5. How to disable virus scan screen after install an app from play store (this has been disabled in iQoo by v-app store but this app is not present in iQOO 9 SE
6. Have you faced any issue with notification while gaming with dark mode specially (it turned like there's 2 screen is running in background one is black-drawer and one is in greynotification panel
7. Does iQOO has a community like OnePlus (app)?
8. How to disable Google feeds/classified from home screen?
9. Accessibility settings for an app auto revoked after no usage of device of 1-2 hr even after turning off battery optimization.
Also realized that some basic settings change after sometime automatically in this phone.
any fix for this?
I was shifted from OnePlus so facing some issue with Funtouch os, I admit that this has some extra feature then oxygen os but has missing some features. please try to provide answer of above questions if anyone can.
even I've been searching for the same and wanted to root my device as well and switch to miui
Can someone please share the Weather apk file from IQOO 9 SE or IQOO 9 or IQOO 9 Pro (Indian variant)?
Hi, since i updated my phone to lates MIUI Version, proximity sensor support in lock screen is gone. So in lockscreen - my screen goes on when phone is in my bag. On old MIUI Version (i think miui 13) this setting was still there. When proximity sensor was covered, screen was dark and no touches were recogniozed when in my bag.
Now my phone often does silly things, when in my bag - calls people and so on.
Is there a way to get lock screen proximity support back to my phone? I changed to latest xiaomi.eu rom, but there is also no setting for this. (This is also the case fo other xiaomi phones, like redmi 9 pro, redmi 10 pro. Since MIUI 14 this was removed.)
Any idea? Is this included in other roms or is there a way to bring back this functionality in my xiaomi.eu rom?
I was having the same problem. Disabling Raise to wake seems to have fixed it for me.
