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.

did the update few days ago, Global 12.2.4
right after the update I factory reset my phone.
updated the poco launcher manually by downloading latest beta .apk file from google.
no issues after that.
full screen gestures working fine even after hiding the bottom nev bar.
performance is good and better then before.
animations are still broken on poco launcher, which is very frustrating.
apps opening animation is better then before but closing animation is broken.
another bug is that if you open app from app draw and do the home gesture, it do not go home, but returns to app draw..
google feed on left is still very laggy. I don't know why
sometimes it scrolls fine and sometime it has lot of lag. not seen this in any other phone.
battery life same as before, which is great and I must say the best battery life this class of phones..
no android 11 new features, what is the point of giving android 11 then ?
not new style of notifications, no notification history, and all other android 11 features.
for that they say wait for 12.5
these are my thoughts

Attaching files in Gmail and ... moreMore 'criminal' update bugs in the Poco F2 Pro's 12.2.4.0 MIUI/Android 11 update: Websites that require Captcha before log in are broken, you won't see Captcha photos and you will NEVER be able to LOG IN! That's on top of not being able to attach files in emails, attach files in online shopping site reviews, not being able to view PDF files from File Manager apps, broken 'open with', 'complete action with' and 'share' /link functionality, broken full display mode, broken dark mode, broken full display gestures, broken third party launcher support, broken auto brightness, etc. etc. It is such a horrendously buggy update NOBODY SHOULD UPDATE THEIR POCO F2 PRO to Android 11/MIUI 12.2.4.0 or earlier (all variants) until all these stupid bugs are corrected. Xiaomi should have never released this update. A security patch update only would have been better until such time the Android 11 update is functional and workable. Android 11 with MIUI 12.2.4.0, (or other earlier Android 11 updates on this phone) is just too criminal.

Satya, 22 Jan 2021I am 100% sure that its not boot loader issue, got phone pu... moreIt's 100% a DRM issue. Not all phones with Widevine L1 certification are guaranteed playback in HD in phone by a streaming service. It still depends on the streaming service - Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. if the phone manufacturer is granted playback rights in HD. At least this is my experience with China branded phones. Playback of DRM encoded content is NEVER assured with China based phone brands: Xiaomi, Oneplus, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Huawei, EVEN IF the manufacturer claims 'Widevine L1 Certification' and 'DRM info' app says 'Widevine L1'
If you care so much about watching and streaming DRM encoded videos (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Disney, etc.) and use frequently those services from your phone, AVOID CHINA BRANDED phones (Huawei, Xiaomi, Oneplus, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Lenovo, etc.) AT ALL COSTS. Always go with Samsung, LG, Sony, Asus and Pixel/Android One phones for a frustration free HD streaming experience.

Good phone but too heavy to be comfortable. The weight of this phone is too much.
