Did you factory reset after update? Maybe, do so if you didn't. Though I personally didn't after the update, but poco f2 pro seems to have diverse units. 12.5 from my end has no bugs. It's the smoothest thing I've ever seen from miui so far. Makes me feel like I'm running a phone with 90hz.

Felico, 06 Jul 2021I learned that Poco F2 Pro can only access 5G if only one SIM is loaded. Is there any dual SI... moreIf you mean having both SIMs active to receive calls and text while one of the SIMs is used for 5G mobile data, then yes, many 5G phones can do that, BUT NOT this stupid Poco F2 Pro which has to shut down one SIM, rendering dual SIM impossible if you want 5G mobile data. If you want 5G on any SIM (SIM1 or SIM2), simply assign that chosen SIM to be your 'mobile data' SIM and you'll get 5G in whichever SIM (SIM1 or SIM2) you choose as your 'mobile data SIM'.
Now if you are asking for a 5G phone that has both SIMs (SIM1 and SIM2) actively connected on 5G, simultaneously, then I don't think that phone exists yet. 5G technology is still on its infancy and infrastructure for standalone 5G to allow voice calls over 5G/NR are still non-existent so it doesn't make sense to have a dual SIM phone operating both SIMs on 5G when you can't use 5G for calls and you can't use 5G from both SIMs to be BOTH your mobile data SIMs so you will get double the 5G data speed from combined SIMs.

You'll need to get used to Xiaomi's horrendously buggy updates because it will take a very long time to get corrected if ever - especially if you like to use 3rd party launchers like Nova launcher or if you do settings tweaks in developer options.

I learned that Poco F2 Pro can only access 5G if only one SIM is loaded. Is there any dual SIM phone that puts both SIMs on 5g?

There is problem with my phone after the 12.5 update. I can't seem to download anything anymore. What's the problem here? Was the new update buggy?

BEN90, 02 Jul 2021Seriously, at this point, still consider that your number one is still not solved, then I thin... moreMy Poco F2 Pro phone IS NOT not defective. It did have a charging problem within a year which has been fixed after it was sent to a service center.
I just realized that the option to hide the gesture bar will not be displayed / not available if you are using a custom launcher like Nova as your default launcher! You have to use the default Poco launcher to have that 'hide gesture bar' option! This is clearly a bug! Or intentional on part of Xiaomi as many things don't work or are not available if you use custom launchers. Never had an issue with custom launchers with my Samsung. With Xiaomi's, custom launcher use is a mess, it would seem the bugginess is intentional on part of Xiaomi. That is, Xiaomi doesn't want users to use custom launchers so it can better track and monitor user behavior.

Anonymous, 02 Jul 2021Received the update to and installed it. It's the same buggy mess. Four really sore issue... moreSurprise, surprise! Workaround for #1: If you are using a custom launcher like Nova launcher, the option to hide that stupid bottom center bar/gesture bar will be missing. So it is important that you switch to the default Poco launcher so this option to hide the gesture bar becomes available. After turning on the 'hide option', you can switch back to using Nova launcher as default launcher and enable full display mode and afterwards, Voila! that stupid bottom center bar is gone forever. But still, gesture navigation doesn't work with third party launchers so you'll have to switch back to the default Poco launcher if you want gesture based navigation.

I've upgraded to 12.5.1. So, far it's so smooth and very fast. The animations are the super. Battery life is good so far.
The downsides:
Unlike other 12.5 I'm seeing in YouTube, this doesn't allow you to configure the RECENTS tab to be in a horizontal like IOS. That's bad because it's the reason I upgraded.
The DOUBLE TAP TO LOCK AND UNLOCK also no longer locks. It only unlocks

Have it fixed by a qualified technician in a Xiaomi service center. It's a cheap, easy fix. It's unfortunate many are experiencing battery charging problems even before this phone is a year old. Really bad quality control from Xiaomi. Such a glaring factory/design defect is unacceptable for a phone at this price level. Even entry level Redmi phones don't have this problem.

CD, 01 Jul 2021Just received MIUI 12.5.1 Global update in UK.Received the update to and installed it. It's the same buggy mess. Four really sore issues below still not fixed:
1. That stupid bottom center bar (gesture bar) that can't be hidden on full display mode and which chops off content which started with the Android 11 update up to the latest MIUI 12.5.1. Other Xiaomi phones on Android 11 allow this stupid gesture bar to be hidden!
2. Inability to use ADB commands to hide the status bar and navigation bar after the Android 11 update (debug command: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*),
3. Navigation swipe gestures do not work in full display/full screen mode when using 3rd party launchers including Nova launcher (the most popular third party launcher). This software bug is only present in Android 11; still dysfunctional even in the latest MIUI 12.5.1.
4. Inability to use dual SIM if you want to use 5G. In both the Android 10 and Android 11 update of the Poco F2 Pro, if you want 5G on one SIM, it will force you to turn off the other SIM making dual SIM operation impossible, which is just insane! Other 5G capable Xiaomi phones don't do this, that is, you can set one SIM to 5G and still have the second SIM turned on!
Horrible Xiaomi software support. It's been 7 months and 3 updates and still not one of these nasty bugs fixed!

After 11 months my Poco F2 Pro is not charging. Saw a video in youtube which fixed my phone for about 3 days. It indicates that it is charging but the % in the battery indicator does not go up. Now I'm waiting for it to die.
Here is the video that helped me somewhat with the issue (battery connector)
