Unable to open PDF files on Xiaomi Redmi note 8 - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

After the update i was unable to open PDF files directly from Telegram like i used to do and it just showed a black screen (like the one listed in the end of this post).
Even opening PDF files from anywhere in my phone just showed the same black screen.
The only way around this was to save the file somewhere in your phone then opening it after searching for it through "Microsoft Office".
I tried other apps and it either showed the same black screen or i had to search for the file through the app.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks in advance!
The black screen i mentioned above (using Google PDF Viewer):

Enabling MIUI Optimization fixed the issue for me. It is available in Developer Options/

Yeah, this stupid miui optimization is a headache!!! When you disable it (in my case I'm forced by the use of Vanced Youtube...) you get a lots of issues with proprietary xiaomi apps especially. You are forced somehow to use their bloatware! 3 fingers screenshot not working or sharing files with their file manager... and I can go on...

Just uninstall MI Browser, problem solves. Thank me later

Whenever i tried opening a pdf file the "MI Pdf viewer" on My Redmi Note 10 Pro, it was just showing a loading sign but never opend the file.
To solve this I uninstalled" MI doc viewer" and now My pdfs are opening correctly.

Just Find the voicetalk.apk and put it on your device.

It's kinda slow due to slow connection between Samsung servers but still it's Awesome!

Hum fine !
But now, you've got to edit somes files to make it works. --> Or 'Network Error'
Source :
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Samsung-Blocks-Unofficial-S-Voice-Service-Usage-270794.shtml
Go in Root Explorer, open /system, edit the "build.prop".
Replace all "GT-I9200" by "GT-I9300", and "galaxys2" by "galaxys3".
Then Reboot.
After That, all Right, and let's play !

Actually Samsung has busted S-Voice for the unofficial devices other then Galaxy S3, so this actually doesn't work. To fix it replace GT-I9100 values in the build.prop file to GT-I9300 to cheat Vlingo's servers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26385605&postcount=34511
Try here, All credits go to MyLifeRocks10 for the link, its one where you dont need to change build prop. Also Ive found that disabling the wake up command stops the FC i was getting, and i havent had a network error since.
i think changing build.prop will cause market errors

Google Search broke after root/xposed tweaks

After finally rooting my H811 yesterday, and installing Xposed and tweaking as best as I could without the G4 compatible G3 Tweakbox landing, I noticed that I am no longer able to launch links from Google Search. I'm still trying to figure it out, but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Error is "No app found to open URL"

I'll have to try disabling Gravity Box to see if that's what is causing it.

The weather.com link was just an example, I get the error when clicking on any link that includes a URL. It should be launching Chrome, but it isn't. I disabled Gravity Box and the error didn't go away.

Hmm, can you launch Chrome? Maybe clearing cache from google app do the trick..but i guess you have to sign up again
Yeah, I can use Chrome Beta and that's my workaround. I've been searching from Chrome lately anyway since saving an image from Search is impossible after the latest update.

Wrongly uninstalled, not disabled.. Sorry
Same thing. You can get it from there.
Or go setting-apps-disabled apps, and check there too

My list is empty.
Unfortunately, I uninstalled Game Suite (not "disable" - "uninstall").
We need some kind apk - i hope it will work.
I try apk from Honor 8 (i found it od XDA) but i cant install - error.
Here you go
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1gJP8I9B_hyiZzQt6O7o9OXVoYAPyNWwd
Game center and game suite via share from my phone.
I installed both. The app works but the GPU turbo is not working. In Game Suite, there is still an acceleration mode instead of turbo mode. In the description is the info that the acceleration mode affects the battery. That was not the point. The game suite with the link has the version 8.0.1.101 while the other people with everything works correctly have an older version.
You dont need a button for gpu turbo..its automatic when you play compatible games. I think)

[Mi10T Pro] App selection stopped working. I am looking for help

Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions
Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?
