I have some problem using Firefox while "private browsing". The page freezes while playing a video, which is very annoying because I have to restart Firefox and all my tabs in private browsing disappear. The freezing occurs sporadically. I don't think this issue has anything to do with MIUI.

    Trofeo, 05 Aug 2023Dude, I have MIUI 14 and there are no issues whatsoever. Lucky you! My night battery drain in Airplane mode is back to first firmware issues to 15%. Most annoying is that I have to call people 2-3x to be able to hear me. This all starts after MIUI 14 update, no fix for know.

        Stoon, 02 Aug 2023check if you are not using bluetooth or location all the time !They are always off, and most other things are also off as I'm quite conscious about saving battery.
        But this beast phone is difficult to control for some reason.

          It seems to consume too much power on streaming and gaming even though I'm lowering display brightness (refresh rate is set dynamic 90 ~ 120 MHz).
          However, standby time is very good.

              Anonymous, 31 Jul 2023A YouTube review claims on F3 9 hrs of SoT with heavy usage... moreIt's probably because you're on a 5G network. I have the same issue. I reduced the screen refresh rate in order to mitigate the battery drainage problem.

              I wish we had a way to replace the battery of this great phone in the EU. There's sadly no Xiaomi service center in my country. The lifespan of this marvelous phone can easily be extended for at least 2 more years with a new battery.

                A YouTube review claims on F3 9 hrs of SoT with heavy usage.
                How come I'm getting like only 6 hrs with medium usage or is this normal?

                  I have another rom with android 13 for quite some time, and feel like battery life is worse than previous
                  The problem is people always say after major upgrade that battery life is worse, so I can't tell whether it's really worse or just my feeling.

                    Battery life matter is still myth to me.
                    It could be OS, display brightness, heat, placebo, some app, degraded battery, or maybe I'm just using the phone more than before etc, just so many possibilities...

                        Lot of bugs. Other side can not hear me quite often. Battery holds like 30% less after update. Never again will buy Poco.

                            Hey, does any of you happen to own both Poco NFC 3 and F3?
                            If yes, tell me about your experience such as which one has better battery life (in actual usage)?

Meaning, there are several Mi Turbo Charge triggered, including the 33W, the least is 18W, the normal one could be until 27W provided the charger supported, especially the GAN charger with USB-PD and QC4+. All in all, at least POCO F3 support wide range of fast charging standard even it is not the fastest compared to original charger and cable.

I have had a Poco F3 for over a year and it will not charge faster than its original speed. Also the GaN chargers won't enable Mi Turbo Charge because it needs the original cable and charger to work properly.

If the charging rate is set at a maximum of 33w then then no charger will charge at a higher rate than that.

                                        I am using the Poco F3. The original charger is 33W. I used the 67W to charger. But it does not give any advantage on shorter or faster charging time. How to make it charge faster? Appreciate any advise. Thanks.
