WhatsApp notifications don't make a sound sometimes when I lock my phone. Does anyone have the same issue and is this a specific MIUI problem or WhatsApp problem?
I'm pretty sure enabling "wake display for notifications" will solve it but not sure.

Wi-Fi connectivity becoming a serious problem...difficulty signing in to FB wifi, also declining speeds on public wifi. It helps sometimes when I wipe cache or reboot phone, but these are unacceptable long-term solutions...
Anyobe else have these problems? Suggested solutions? I am on global carrier in Brazil...Note 8 64/4 tks

Anonymous, 29 Feb 2020I'm going to flash Pixel Experience Android 10 today, but really want the lenses. Any way mPixel Experience doesn't let you swap navigation buttons layout. There is no quick setting to mute you phone either. You have to press volume up or down and then switch mode.
Derpfest has buggy brightness (too dark on lowest). The latest build doesn't have Gapps and therefore lacks the security updates through playstore feature, which is the only use for Android 10 to be honest.
Syberia Project lacks Playstore security updates.
Havoc OS Unofficial had the same issue with Playstore security updates I think.
Evolution X drains the battery. You get like 3000mAh performance...
And every one of them has a crappy camera because Xiaomi is still on Android 9 officially...

I have tried every Android 10 ROM for this and went back to MIUI 11 with Android 9. I'm surprised that MIUI is actually better than all the custom ROM's...Now we have to wait for Android 10 by Xiaomi themselves.

Anonymous, 28 Feb 2020Is there touch delay issues at corners/edge of screen as many users reported on Reddit and XDA... moreNo. The display has high pixel response times which you will probably only notice in gaming.

Considering to buy Redmi 8 because
- good memory 64/8gb
- good battery 5000mah
- fast charging
- 13mp f/1.8 camera
- pie os
It will serve me well as i am not a gamer.
Today i compared it with redmi note 8 which is 8000 rupees expensive. What i will gain is lower battery 4000mah but better camera 48mp and better chipset.
Now i am confused between these two which one to go for. If i get better reliablity by paying 8000 rupees i will go for note otherwise redmi 8 is good for me.
What do you suggest?

Anonymous, 24 Feb 2020Thank you for your answer.... well battery life and design isn't my main conscern I always put... moreBattery life is great. The UI is mostly smooth (except the recent apps menu) but restrictive. Their "security" feature is deleting apk's unless you revoke it's rights. Auto brightness doesn't learn and doesn't let you adjust brightness by small steps. WhatsApp messages are mostly silent for some reason.
If you don't care about the wide angle and macro lens, you can flash a custom ROM like Pixel Experience (not full camera support). I'm fed up with MIUI and waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked. Takes 7 fkn days....

and I can't ask for agaming processor or an iphone-like camera in this price segment
I want good phone that don't show much trouble while using or die within short time (sudden death, processor deterioration....)
I've been a samsung user and I want to know about xiaomi from users : do there phones become worse with time? Do they show alot of stutters in usage? Any prominent problem like signal weakness, bad call quality, fail in some games and navigatuon or anything unexpected?
I'm confused between m30s and mi note 8. Thank you in advance
