Spanky, 30 Sep 2023Hmmm… are you sure it’s the system update’s fault? Because ... moreGame Bird is an instrusive ad tab part of Game Turbo and Game Turbo is a part of the Security App. Yes, the Security app was updated as part of the security update of MIUI. I revoked the authorization of Security and Msa at the same time since it would just pop-up again if either of them are still on

      Kurokaze, 30 Sep 2023Updated to MIUI 14.0.7 TMRMIXM...Fckng update put bloatware... moreHmmm… are you sure it’s the system update’s fault? Because the Security app (which includes Game Turbo) gets updated independently.

      Check out every option in Game Turbo’s settings, perhaps there is a way to disable that bloatware. Also, try using Game Turbo while offline and see what happens.

      By the way, if this „Game Bird“ is an independent application, you can try to disable it from the phone’s settings. If the option is grayed out, try using a special application, such as „Hidden Settings for MIUI“ (search for it on Google Play), which might allow you to disable/remove it. Another option would be to try a debloating application for Xiaomi/Poco/Redmi phones.

        Updated to MIUI 14.0.7 TMRMIXM...Fckng update put bloatware on Game Turbo and this bloatware named Game Bird keeps installing new apps without my permission. An orange Bird pops up at the side of the screen and later a notification pops-up that a [insert app] has been installed(e.g. Juan Hand). Game Bird will keep reinstalling those apps if you try uninstalling it.

              Also weird that you have Miui 14.0.9.0 when i just got 14.0.7.0
              My region is Set to Estonia as my country so it seems like all types of countries seem to have there own versions or something in EU also.

              Also to say that yeah now the price difference have balanced out. When i bough my 8GB RAM version it was 410 euro and it was the cheapest as first week in my country on it's release as other places had it 430 euro and 12GB was 480 euro but in that shop where i got it the 12GB was also with a discount to 450 euro. I later regretting over it a bit but then think of that there is no point for me as i dont much play games or the heavy games at least so 8GB be enough and when in the far future when it gets slow i can have that 5GB virtual RAM added to that 8GB. But as of now i have it turned off.
              Also i will probably install custom rom on my phone when the support time is done and also warranty is over as i dont want to mess with the phone and then warranty wont cover it

                  I definitely recommend 12 gigs. Not a big difference in price. And you don't need to use virtual ram for a very long time. I don't recommend to use it at all. I live in Danmark and paid 375 euro. Phone came with MIUI 14.0.6 Now I'm on 14.0.9 for a week or so. I got ride of most bloatwere and ads ofc. Free ram between 7.6 gigs to 8.6 gigs. I will like to use custom ROM. But I'm afraid. Never done it before. Plus I think it's not mature enough. But still I'm on XDA Forum every day and it's tempting..

                      But well the more ram you have the more the phone will use it too. Same on computers.

                          Also that 7GB is virtual ram that you can add to the 12GB while the 8GB version have 5GB virtual ram

                                    It seems like F5 have monthly security update or is it cause of the 14.0.7.0 update ?
                                    As it is like 3rd update i have got from the time of it's release.
                                    I know that the Android 14 should be around end of November or in December

And you futureproof your phone that way, even for regular applications. So, you kinda answered your own question. Besides, the price difference is very small, for 50% more RAM. In fact, in some stores, the 12GB version is cheaper than the 8GB one.
