I think the buggy Android 11 is a mistake Xiaomi made. I don't think it is intended to be released.

i am very disappointed in their updates.,although the phone itself is good i have nothing to say but the update was so disappointing. A lot of bugs i have experienced. I dont think xiaomi care thier user for the update., instead of focusing in Stable version.. They're more focused in releasing of new phones. TSK! i phone dont often release new phones but they have stable version update.. even in their old models they still do an update.. tsk disappointing

Hi every one. I am using this phone for more than 3 months. I strongly advice you unlock bootloader and flash custom MIUI Roms. I am using MiuiMix weekly. Phone has miui 12.5 on android 11. No lags in launcher or no Major bugs. You can use phone butter smooth. I don't advice to use this phone official updates. I saw too many people have problems while using phone. I have never face this kind of problems. Because i unlocked and flashed Miui custom roms after 7 days which i bought phone. There is an one problem for me. The problem is, this phone don't have much developer support. Because idiot Xiaomi don't give kernel source codes to developers. Xiaomi's software teams are not good enaugh for increase this phone's performance at full potential. I wish Xiaomi wilö give source codes. Later we will get 75+ hx screen refresh rate oc options.

Anonymous, 27 Jan 2021Mi 10T Pro or Poco F2 Pro? I know F2 Pro has audio jack,... moreCamera on f2 pro is not bad (especially with gcam), but 10t pro camera hardware is way better because of bigger sensor and OIS.

Android 11 was or is a huge mistake. Not connected to my car I have similar bugs to others. Cannot use anything except Poco launcher, my paid for launcher is dead in the water now. Google assistant believes everything I say needs input, forget activating for no reason. Full screen and features only work with default launcher.
As for my car, just two weeks old. Android auto worked great on 10 on USB. Android 11 promised wireless connection which it did do. It did it until I drove into an undercover car park. Then it didn't. At first it needed the car to be rebooted, turned off, locked, unlocked and then it worked. Now even on USB it won't connect so can't use my phone in the car.
Tonight I'm finding the stock Android 10 and rolling back.

The silicon case that comes in the box with the phone is good, but it is in line with the camera bump, so you can still scratch it.
This one protrudes about 0.5 mm above the camera bump, so it adds a little more protection.

Anonymous, 24 Jan 2021Yes, it's OK. Just wait when a better, newer version (... moreI have same version and haven't met any of the above bugs (except 3rd party launcher cases, which I don't use).

More Android 11 bugs - Wireless screensharing to Smart TVs like Samsung and LG (using Miracast) is broken or no longer supported. Google's greed is forcing manufacturers to abandon the Miracast wireless screen sharing standard used by most Smart TVs. Google wants you to buy TV's with built-in Chromecast instead or buy a chromecast dongle so Google can monitor your viewing habits and sell you its own tv series/movie subscriptions. Android under Google is becoming like Apple's iOS. Greed, greed, greed and more greed.

M, 25 Jan 2021I was wondering how come I don't have issues with link... moreYes, I also disable MIUI optimization because some apps get killed with it or don't work properly with it. It was OK disabling it in Android 10. But in the Android 11 update of the Poco F2 Pro, it creates more problems than it solves, so now, I have to leave it on. It's like choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. I'll be downgrading to Android 10 once my device is unlocked (7 days for first time). I can't tolerate the bugs - not being able to use 3rd party launchers (Nova has always been my launcher of choice; using it for several years). And that ugly white/black bar at the bottom center of the screen in FULL DISPLAY mode that is as buggy as hell, cannot be hidden at all, causing permanent AMOLED screen burn in and it is annoyingly stupid it serves ZERO purpose while CHOPPING OFF content making the bottom bezel look so much bigger it is just horrendous to look at. Then you cannot also hide anymore the status bar using ADB commands or using apps like Second Screen. Android 11 is just stupid. Just give us the security patches Xiaomi and forget about stupid Android 11 that's become less and less customizable and more like Apple's iOS because of Google's greed.

I was wondering how come I don't have issues with links. Yes, disabling MIUI optimisation always brakes some features of the phone - e.g. 3 finger screenshot doesn't work (and there are other features that stop working).
On the other hand, MIUI optimisation kills apps, and some only work properly with the setting OFF.
But in the end, I always leave it ON, because otherwise MIUI is even worse to use...

Anonymous, 22 Jan 2021I'm on 12.2.4.0 RJKEUXM. Attaching files in Gmail and ... moreTurning back ON MIUI optimization (Settings - Additional Settings - Developer Options) seems to solve this problem and many others involving attaching files to emails, uploading photos for reviews in shopping apps and problems regarding 'Open with', 'Complete Action With' and 'Share with'. It fixes not being able to open PDF files via File Manager. Why? I absolutely do not know. Still, turning MIUI Optimization to OFF (default setting in 'Developer Options' is ON) will create all these sorts of maladies/bugs in Android 11 but NOT in Android 10. Go figure.
The rest of the bugs remain - custom launchers have broken navigation gestures, no recent apps displayed, etc. Xiaomi is probably forcing Poco F2 Pro users to use only its own Poco launcher and own MIUI apps/MIUI bloatware.

Anonymous, 23 Jan 2021is it okay if you dont update it?Yes, it's OK. Just wait when a better, newer version (newer than 12.2.4.0) arrives with fewer issues and serious bugs. As it is, the current Android 11 version update just has TOO MANY issues and SERIOUS bugs you may not want to use your phone for some tasks because of the bugs. For example, when I send an email with an attachment to anybody, I can't do that on my Android 11 updated Poco F2 Pro. I need to copy first the attachment to another phone and send the email from that other phone! If I want to upload a photo for a product review on an shopping shopping site, my Android 11 updated Poco F2 Pro can't do that. I have to transfer the photo first to another phone and do the review there. If I want to view PDF files, I can't view them from file manager. I have to download and use another app that reads a PDF file, open that PDF reader app, and open the PDF file from that app's list. These are not the only issues. There are many more if you use third party launchers (Ex. Nova launcher), use dark mode, use gesture based navigation, etc. etc. Once you update, there's no going back. You'll have to suffer those bugs I mentioned and keep waiting for a newer update with major bug fixes. This update really is criminal, Xiaomi should never have released it. A security patch update without a major Android version update would have been better while they are still fixing bugs in Android 11 rather than release a half baked Android 11 OTA with many serious bugs.

John be, 23 Jan 2021Battery issues on android 11, 12.2.4?For me personally, the battery is as good, if not better.
BUT, the update is still not worth it, as you can read about all the bugs it brings all over the internet...

I use "Spigen Rugged Armor Case", and I like it very much. It's 9 EUR on Amazon, but it's quality - no comparison to chinese fakes for 1-3 EUR.
It fits perfectly, covers the camera, and grips over the front of the phone about 1 mm, so you can put it down on a table.
i also got lucky with a glass protector, which fits from edge to edge of the case.
But consider, that it makes the phone even bulkier - although not as much as the big rugged cases made from plastic + rubber.

Please recommend the case for the Poco F2 pro and that it is soft and safe because the one that came with it is hard and nothing.

Anonymous, 23 Jan 2021It's 100% a DRM issue. Not all phones with Widevine L1... moreThank you very much for the information, I should agree 100% with it. Having 'Widevine L1' certification itself alone is not sufficient for phone models, manufacturer should also seek Widevine L1 'support' as well from popular streaming platforms. But it is so surprising that few mid-range models from same manufacturer are capable to stream content in hd but their flagship offering doesn't. Have got the issue escalated to their dev community and awaiting feedback, will post here if it helps others on this thread. You are correct, observed that Samsung has never had this issue on their models. Its really cheating just advertising like the models have Widevine L1 support without practical use.
