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?

weird, never had this issue before. friends of mine fixed theirs by clearing Gboard data.
try clearing cache in storage settings and restarting.
I had same problem as you when I was using global MIUI 10 (tianma panel). After unlocking bootloader and installing localized MIUI 11 ROM, I don't experience such problems anymore.

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.
its a rom issue
change the rom

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.
how much difference does it make if I install custom. I have pretty good experience so far with miui and I like it because it have many features and customisations. Which custom rom would you recommend me to install.
With the search function of the form your question is already been answered

If you like Stock MIUI, you'll like the Xiaomi.eu Custom ROMs. They provide the latest MIUI straight from the China ROMs (they always get updates first) + Improvements + it's debloated. Xiaomi.eu also provides Weekly ROMs (Beta builds), with updates every week.

Let's do it. I just requested the manufacturer to unlock my bootloader.
@dreamytom so is it true about the 168 hours myth? I have already broken the queue 4 times.

You do have to wait 1 Week to unlock the bootloader after the request ^^
I'd totally recommend flashing a custom, when I flashed arrow os I noticed how it was way better than miui on an overall level.
Yeah, I think most developers are Indians now, but most of design are not far different. In my experience, very bad support too.

And it sucks because theres no timer you can check, too many misleading guides and tutorials in some Indian websites, even the Mi forum they don't mention about it. I don't see the reason to keep it as a secret, but moderators don't seem to care.

No, I think you misunderstand.
Firstly, you have to request a Bootloader Unlock using Mi Unlock. It'll tell you the countdown (which will be 6 days and 23 hours).

I have requested it says I havee to wait for a total of 168 hours, right? It says I better not press it again or it will reset to default 168 hours. It won't tell you "You have remaining 24 hours to go" the next time you press unlock.

No, it won't reset, don't listen to such people.
Back when I unlocked mine I checked a few times during the countdown, and it would say "Error: X hours remaining" or something like that. So I think it really does show the countdown. ^^

Well, you can't blame them as their translation from Chinese is indeed rather confusing. Anyway, I got mine reset because I had itchy hands to play around with it and something went wrong so I had to hard reset it, I think if you logout from the device then it will reset, right?

If you like miui then stick with it why go through the hassle of installing another rom, install xiaomieu its better than stock miui. If you really want to try custom roms, i recommend try evolutionX.

HAHAHA, I actually dont even felt like doing the 168 hours anymore, probably keeping it locked in case I don't get stuck trying to use for official procedures. But man, I must admit XiaoMi devs are such dirty bastards, I mean they do not have any sort of tidyness. Do you know where they keep the themes? Where should i place the .mtz theme file I downloaded? I hope it does not require me to unpack it and insert to each folder respectively.

The 168 hours wait is just pure stupid. But u can actually request it first and don't unlock. Just leave it there

I actually didn't literally touch it, I just accidentally screw up by uninstalling some apps with weird names (first time XiaoMi user) It is shocking when I compared to XiaoMi with 400 preinstalled apps total and my HUAWEI only had just a little over 200. Now I'm trying to look around finding where got answers to MIUI theming mechanism. I dont know where they place it its just invnisible.
Hi,
I have read that many have problem with battery drain and heat problem with this phone. I got mine last monday and my SOT is around 6-7 hours per day and I think that is really good. I Mean you can charge your phone fully for about just 30 minutes so nothing to complain about.
I have download an app that shows CPU and battery temp. At idle the CPU is around 35-37. When I go to chrome, instagram and facebook it goes up around 40-42. What i have noticed is when i disable the auto brighetness function and have the brightness to low the phone is around 36 when i use it and that is with 120 hertz FHD.
I have noticed that the phone is a litte bit warm when i play some games but not if I choose the brightness myself. This is a bit annyoing becuase i want to have the auto function on.
I have read here that install a diffrent kernel should solve the heating problem? But it required to root the phone as i understand it?
Somebody also said that a factory reset should solve the problem. Does that work?

And where can I find it? I would love to root the phone but i am to scared to do something wrong and ending up with a bricked phone hehe.
The issue is with the soc (SD888) below 50% it goes up to 80⁰C which makes all cpus and battery heat up over 40⁰.
I'm using SystemPanel and Gsam Battery monitoring apps. Which app did you use for showing cpu temp?

How do you install the kernel? I am very grateful for all the help I can get
Get root for your device (there is a guide on this forum) than install Franko kernel Manager from Google play store.
But please do read all the content OP arter published so you follow the steps carefully.

Hm ig some ppl faced bugs ig miui is MEME UI FOR SOME LOL

of course full device is buggy. uninstalling apps take 30 seconds and in game it will give a full screen notification of low battery. now if you're gaming this notification will make you loss a match. shtty miui. i just shattered this f3 and completely dead now.
Go back to 12.5.1, they don't limit the speed of SoC here (Still 3.1 Ghz instead of 2.7 Ghz)
i shattered the device on the floor and completely dead now. so no xiaomi again. full screen low battery notification forced me to go afk out of the game.
Hey guys
Running latest PixelOS alioth 12.1 on my poco f3
Sometimes - i dont know why or how my screen will turn off (as per usual) and then it wont turn back on
The finger print sensor implies its still on because of the haptick feedback and the phone is still functioning, except the screen doesnt turn on
Holding the power button resets the phone and then its fine - but i dont know why its doing this
Anyone experience the same or have any info?
Thank you
I'd say seems like an issue with that Custom ROM. You could try asking that question to the specific ROM thread...
Same ROM here and same problem. Also PixelOS is no longer maintained so I'm trying to decide which ROM to switch too.

I'd think Pixel Experience Plus is similar. Altho haven't used either. I use ArrowOS, but that's not a Pixel ROM
I want to take this phone, is it worth it? The reviews on it are both positive and negative. I can't make up my mind.

Now I switched back to Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM because I was missing MIUI Cam & Dolby, but I had a similar issue.
Sometimes while I was on ArrowOS, when I try to turn on the screen it would take 2-3 seconds.. It was a tiny bit annoying
