Upgraded a while ago, here is my experience so far:
Speed
*Boot time is still around 30 seconds.
*Haven't noticed any lag in opening apps.
UI and smoothness
*Animations feel more fluid, haven't noticed any stutter when leaving animation speed at x1, lowering to 0.5x makes them a bit shaky.
*password lock keyboard has a facelift, now easier to use.
*New control center looks awful IMO, you lose info about how much data you spent today! Also, it feel very iPhonish.
*fingerprints got a bit inaccurate, adding them again fixed the issue.
*Scrolling speed has been reduced, and it feels like a jelly on slow swipes.
*Battery icon is now easier to read imo.
*There's a new gesture for switching apps, but it doesn't work on settings page, to figure!
*call recording is still there.
camera
*feels better overall
*colors are more accurate, and HDR is somewhat better.
*details have improved a bit in macro and ultra wide.
*focus peaking now can be enabled with auto focus which is a plus.
*Macro mode is now hidden inside the hamburger as if they're telling us not to use it much!
Multimedia
*Bluetooth still lags, in MX player you need to use HW+ or SW decoders. Some sources recommend using "the metronome" app from soundbrenner, it has some sort of latency fix inside the settings, but didn't work for me. Got to know my latency is about 250ms, though.
*need someone to confirm YouTube oversharpening issue has been resolved.
Will add more when I encounter anything. And let me know if you have any requests/questions

I think this really is a global stable miui 12 rom, because it has fastboot version to flash! I will give it a go right now, as soon as it downloads!
P.S. 2.2. V12.0.2.0. QGGMIXM , this one !

@H 1 Has the BT latency issue fixed in MIUI12?
Sent from my Redmi Note 8 Pro using Tapatalk
Their advertised privacy stats and notification features don't seem to be there though, security app does have an app behavior tab that can be accessed through activity launcher it has no data and UI has no such feature. Looks like it will be added in future MIUI 12 updates, or is the feature CN only?
@th1nd
I can't really tell, I have a pair of very cheap Bluetooth earbuds. I use wired ones mostly. Also, I have disabled all Google apps.
If it's of any help, latency in games is still around 300-500ms, but it feels a bit better watching content in newpipe and Firefox, latency feels less than 150ms.

Have you used adb to disable MIUI apps? Just tried the security page and I have the same issue. I have disabled many MIUI services. I'll try to reinstall them and see what happens.

Really? 300-500 is a lot! Like very much. I also prefer and use wired only but since I got OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z I refrain from using wired as BT seems more convenient while watching YT content and listening to podcasts. On AAC (Default codec for headset), my latency in YT is around 700-800 ms and even dangerously close to 1s in some instances! Whereas, on SBC (which I have to change everytime in Dev. Settings which is really frustrating), the latency is perfectly fine (less than 70 ms). But whenever I change it to SBC, the video starts playing after like 5s to match the audio afterwards but the audio is instantaneous and is unchanged. So, now I only hope that this terrible issue on default AAC is fixed in MIUI12.

No that dosent seem to be the reason, the "permission stats" and "permission counter" tabs are completely absent from the privacy protections tab. Our tab just has links to android 10 permission groups. If you sideload a version of the "security" app from the china beta rom (there on apkmirror) the stats and permission tabs appear but have no data in them. So thats why I think either these features are yet to be implemented or china only and unfortunately as indian mi community forums are banned there istn't any authoritative answer as to whether they would be implemented.
@Acc1234567
I have security app V4.1.2, sideloaded from apkmirror, not sure if it's global or Chinese.
Official MIUI site mentioned some features would be missing from certain devices (mainly super wallpapers, which aren't a big deal to me) but I don't think they mentioned anything about security app.
This needs a bit of investigation.
I intend to do a factory reset in the upcoming days. Will report if anything changes.
@th1nd
My BT buds are $5 knockoffs, with high latency on even SBC XD
From what I understand, high end BT buds have a low latency mode which trades battery life for lower latency.
As you mentioned, the device is supposed to measure BT latency and sync audio and video accordingly, which is the case on my Samsung tab A running android 8.1. There's even and option for that inside the settings! This should also be the case for offline games. But games played in real-time can only counter this issue by using wired headphones, or BT ones with extremely low latency.
Sorry for the long reply, but one last thing. I noticed that my BT performance improved a bit after disabling MIUI Bluetooth, then clearing the normal Bluetooth app's data.
You'd lose the ability to unlock device with Bluetooth, but everything else seemed to work fine.

When an app gives me failure, I disable it first then uninstall it. This worked even for Google play services. Only app that failed completely was xiaomi's keyboard.

thinking of buying the realme x but im not fond of the development history of realme devices they barely get any roms. maybe since this is snapdragon and not mediatek, things will be different. what do you all think?
I've had for about 2 weeks, and I am not regretting it.
My last phone was the 1+3 and I've had it since launch, the realme X is about the same performance with double the battery life and a good camera and great big screen for an affordable price.
it's worth a buy.
realme is something like OnePlus.
it's a subband of OPPO , not so independent like OnePlus.
In fact I'm not satisfied with the colorOS , too much change to Android pie .
I'm also 2w in and I love it. Coming from Samsung s8+ and it sure is much better in every way. In my opinion ofc ?

I miss skydragon OS on my 1+3, but nova launcher and google apps quench my thirst for now.
I also ordered the phone last night(and ofc the White one other wise whats the reason of buying it.
And regarding Development I hope this atleast gets Development as R3pro, which is quite decent.
Tho I talked with one of the Dev, and he be getting a Realme X, so ???.
I have used this for three month and no problems. So ye, worth i guess
Using it for well over a month now, changed the look of it (copied Dave2d's OnePlus 7 Pro setup) using Nova Launcher (Chinese rom so had to use adb to change default launcher) and third party icons, looks and feels way better than stock ColorOS, other than that ColorOS isn't too bad in terms of aesthetics, as far as the hardware goes got no complains whatsoever, Gcam works fine so camera is top notch, the screen is great, charging is great (also battery performance), it's totally bang for buck imo, no regrets.

Hi,
You have managed to change the standard launcher? You may provide some informaiton on how you have done it? I tried the standard methods but everything was grayed out or not even there. Also tried rooting the device but some security software safed me from this intention! Even my attempt from pc.
For other people: color OS is probably a good choice if you like a apple like OS. Except some restriction in customisation everything is fine. (It´s running now a week without any bug or problem) Play store is not preinstalled but with a quick search and apk installation you can download every app from play store except google now launcher it´s not supported on the device...
Actually I was planning to buy the redmi K20 pro, but after looking at the price of it changed my mind and ordered the Realme X.
As far now this is the best smartphone under 20k. There are no much difference between the Redmi K20 and Realme X.

I installed Nova launcher, then disabled the default launcher using adb commands, forcing the phone to use Nova as it's default (yes you don't have the option do it in settings, apparently Chinese ROMs don't allow changing launcher for safety(?) reasons) . But keep in mind that after using this method to change the launcher, the swipe gestures from both sides won't work, you won't be able to go to home using swipe up, so I had to move to swipe-up gestures, which is the swipe alternative of having virtual keys, you can use virtual keys as well. other than this everthing works perfectly.
I used this thread to disable the default launcher: Click here
** Make sure you have a launcher installed before disabling the default launcher, if you mess up you can always reset and start again, try not to disable things you aren't sure of as it can mess up the phone (learned from experience) **
I bought it for my sister in law before i sent it to nigeria. I can attest to the quality of the phone. the only thing that may piss u off if u are coming from stock android is that color os has so many animations (there are so many that there is a setting not in dev settings, where u can reduce animations. to me this reduction does nothing) that slow down how the phone seems to operate. Trust me its a fast phone but with all the animations it looks slow. Also if u buy the china version u would have to deal with some chinese text but u can uninstall a lot of everything that u dont want and install google play from apkpure and just move on with life. It was surprisingly a lot easier and palatable to deal with as a chinese rom than a Redmi Note 7 chinese version i had bought. The Redmi didnt play well with sideloading google services so i had to unlock the bootloader and load an Xiaomi.eu rom while the Realme is so accepting of a sideload that it looks native.

True......
First I thought why people hate on this os, I can deal with it, I love stock android but I have also used miui in the past so color os should be fine, but thinking that was a big mistake.
It doesn't support basic android 9 pie features like swipping right to clear banner notifications, a screen on time chart (leave alone digital wellbeing), dark mode of atleast some sort (all flashy white colours, cannot even take the amoled's advantage) and many more. Even a redmi phone with android 6 or 7 with miui 10 has all android 9 features and here's color os lacking even at the basics.
And even its own features are incompliant. You can only create dual apps for select 2-3 apps, unlike in miui where you could clone any app. Also what is this thing with the call menu when you receive a call, its of 2 kinds, one in which you have to swipe up/down to take/end a call and other being you just have to click the call pick/end button. They need to show their customisation skills there, wow.
And though the phone supports L1 liscence and has a hdr capable display it still doesn't support hdr content on netflix or amazon prime. Their answer to that is an osie vision effect feature in settings>display>osie vision effect, which btw to use you have to also enable smart slidebar(in convinience aid) and then go the supported app>pull out smart slidebar and then enable osie effect. All this then only to see that it says 'not supported in current app'.
Now the main reason for my frustration being not able to download files when the phone is locked. I put anything on download, may it be a video in youtube app or a file in chrome or any download manager app, it downloads only till 1-2 mins after the phone is locked. I come after an hour or so and the download is stuck there. How can one not be frustrated then.
So conclusion is to hell with color os, just waiting for a stable custom rom(pixel experience rom for that matter).

I'm facing a weird issue on my Realme X. After updating an app on Play Store, I don't see "app updated" confirmation on notification panel. I need to open Play store to check if the app is updated or not. My play store version is 17.8.14. All other notification working like when an update is available, when I install a new app etc. Only I don't get notification confirmation after updating an existing app.

Clear data of play store & play services, reboot and let those update itself, then update your apps. Also check for if any specific notification is disabled for play store.

This doesn't help. I know all these workarounds and tried already. I have created a post on Google Community and it seems like most people are facing this bug starting from 17.8.14 update. And after 17.9.17 update, it's even worse. There is no notification from Play Store whatsoever (no notification when an update is available, when an update is completed, when a new app is installed successfully). Google has screwed the notification function on Play Store.

When playing a song in Spotify and tapping on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, the screen dims a little bit and Spotify freezes. No probs like this with Mi Mix 2s and Redmi Note 4. Erased app data, uninstalled, re-installed - no changes.

Hello,
Theres a workaround, tap the song/album you want, then go to the playlist and select "add song", then swipe right until you get the recently played pannel and add song/album to playlist....

Confirm I had the same problem with my unit, that is until I returned it due to the touchscreen issue mentioned in another thread.
Same issue, already posted on Spotify's forums and they didn't even acknowledged it.
Lots of people complaining yet the can't or refuse to do something about it...
Damn, just got the phone yesterday and I am having the same issue and was hoping someone may have found a solution. I wonder if it's to do with the new processor in this phone? I saw someone in a Spotify support forum (not an R8NPro user) saying they turned on OpenGL Rendering (although not sure how or where?) and that fixed it for them. Spotify presents one of my main use cases for the phone so this sucks. Anyone tried using an older version of the app?
On a related note (no pun intended!), I have always rooted my phones just so I could use Viper4Audio to eek out a better sound. I am using Bluetooth as my primary connection. Has anyone done any side by sides in terms of audio quality? If I don;t have to root then I won't as I think I read of some possible issues at present with this phone?
Thanks for any help!
Just got a new system update on my RN8Pro. Has anyone tried the current version of Spotify after this update to see if it works? I am using a very old version of the app which is working (albeit less featured) so am loathe to have to download all my playlists again to try it
Works for me now with MIUI 11. But I'm also using Spotify Beta and there was an update too. So I'm not sure why it's working again. Please try out folks
Works fine for me. Miui 11 and latest Spotify stable release.

Hey,
I have been using the S20 since release and I am really satisfied with the overall package this device delivers. For me it's the best on the market right now.
Especially the 120hz feature was something I was looking forward. Now there seem to be some inconsistencies regarding the frame rate. The device seems to change the framerate variably like the Pixel 4 does. The experience of the 4 was horrible for me on a daily basis. I could see the jumping between frame rates which resulted in ugly frame drops that could be recognized as lag. The only devices that delivered what they promised have been the OnePlus devices do far. Nevertheless the 120hz experience on the S20 seems nearly flawless. I am not able to tell if it is happening at all besides one occasion: Using Google maps.
When I open Google maps there is choppyness nearly every time, the animation is always laggy. This is so frustrating and annoying. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Reports claim that the device is switching while using resource hungry apps like maps or the camera. To me this simply is false advertisement. Selling a120hz device that once again seems to not be 120hz all the time....
I feel ya 1000% it's already bad that we can use 120Hz only with FHD+ but it's like rubbing salt into the wound that half of the apps run @60Hz...
But there is this tasker profile on xda that can be used for running all apps @120Hz!
I rooted my S20+ yesterday and maybe in the coming days/weeks we get mod's or modules or something that maybe can run 120Hz with QHD+ resolution without any app limitation.

Yeah this is simply rubbish. I am currently using the stock launcher which is pretty good too be fair. Can you verify this annoying behavior of the lagging animation when opening the Google maps app (only while using 120hz)? Sometimes it is smooth but most of the time it is choppy as hell . Maybe you could try it out a few times and give me feedback I would like to get a confirmation here so that I know that it isn't on my end or something with my device.
You mean this thread for the tasker profile?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20/how-to/force-120hz-apps-youre-supposed-to-t4053129
Have you tested it out since the latest release seems to be from February? Root is necessary, right?
I don't use the stock launcher so I can't test it right know. But I don't think it's anything with your device it's simply the switch between modes wich causes dropped frames.
yes I mean that profile. And no it works without root. you just need tasker. my trial ended but during it this profile really worked.

Well that sounds awesome I will give it a shot then! Thank you for the recommendation!
And yes I am guessing this is the typical switching behavior between the 2 modes as it seems smooth when on 60hz constantly.
Edit: The profile doesn't improve this Google maps issue on stock launcher. Interestingly activating the profile and keeping maps on 60hz does help. The animation then is smoother but not with 120 only with 60 frames.
I tried 3rd party launchers and noticed that they are running with 60 in the 120 mode. This is ridiculous... Can you confirm that although system is set to 120 the 3rd party launchers run at 60fps? My solution for now is: Use the tasker profile and set 3rd party launcher (I have tested Nova and Lawnchair) to 120. Now everything is smooth as butter even opening maps ?. I honestly think this maps issue is a problem with the stock launcher as opening is smooth on the mentioned 3rd party launchers with the tasker profile activated.

Did you say you rooted your S20? If so what method did you use?

I will wait till Magisk for superuser or Twrp comes out with a recovery. That way at least there is a way to recover usability.

Magisk for superuser is already there. TWRP not yet but if it's like on the S10 Series I won't use it anyway.
I got my OnePlus 9 Pro yesterday and instantly noticed that they modified the scrolling behavior / acceleration with the OnePlus 9 Pro. Scrolling now feels really slow, compared to the OnePlus 8 Pro, and the biggest problem is that it is not consistent between different apps. While on Chrome it is nearly as fast as on the OnePlus 8 Pro it's pretty slow in Google Play Store, Twitter, Google Feed etc.
Here is a screen record comparison between the two: OP9 Pro / OP8 Pro
Do you guys know if there is a way to mod that? I am also going to root my device, so if I need root to fix it that's not a problem.
Is there anyone else that noticed the same?

How did you root?
At the moment I am not rooted, but it still works like it worked on the 8 Pro by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a Magisk patched boot image.

Oh, when you said "I am also rooted so that is not the problem." you meant on the 8 Pro?
Sorry, I rephrased it, I wanted to say that if I need root that it is not a problem.
I don't have a solution for you but my experience is the exact same. The slow scrolling is a big issue for me, but I'd imagine it's a small tweak or update away from being fixed.
I noticed it to. I thought I was going nuts. Glad to see it is not just me. Hopefully this gets fixed because scrolling through my Google News feed is really slow now compared to my OP8 pro.

This happened when the 8pro was released, they eventually fixed it after a few updates but for a month or so scrolling was janky.
Just installed the recent update and scrolling is much improved!
Build number
Oxygen OS 11.2.1.1.LE15AA
I've got the same scrolling weirdness on my 9 Pro - only in certain apps, like Outlook and the Google discover feed. Chrome and Gmail are fine. I got the latest update today and the scrolling hesitation is still there.
I'm sure this is one of those things that they will tweak over within the next couple updates they do. I personally haven't noticed it. Going from my oneplus8 pro to this phone now, but something to look out for.
It seems to be tied to the screen refresh rate. I enabled the Dev option to show the refresh rate and the apps I notice it the most in are the ones that run at 60hz
I was setting up the 9 pro next to my 8 pro and this was the first thing I noticed. But now, a day later it is as smooth as on the 8 Pro.
I have seen this too and for those that have do you all still have the factory fit screen protector on?

I wonder if there's a way to force 120hz.
I'd just like to add I have receive my OP9P and experience the exact same, coming from a 6T it does feel slow and hesitant.

It was although it seems to be software related, Just this minute taken it off (unfortunately) and it's still the same.

I have no problem on scrolling. have you try these setting: 1. in display setting -->profesional setting,set to 120Hz and resolution to QHD+ and turn off smart power saving at QHD+setting 2. turn on the overclock response tap
3. go to developer mode and set all visual effect to 0.5. Then restart your phone you should see the difference

Can confirm that this does not work. Scrolling still slow
