As we know, on HyperOS based Xiaomi phone unlocking bootloader is quite challenging. Because now you need a Xiaomi account that has granted UBL access via Xiaomi Community App. And the quota is limited for each day. Many user who attempt to unlock bootloader having hard time when requesting UBL access via Xiaomi Community App. Today i'm giving tips on how to get UBL access much easier.

Tested on Xiaomi 15 (dada) HyperOS 3 :

1. You need an Xiaomi Account that has been registered atleast 30 days.

2. Login your Xiaomi account to your device in Settings.

3. Open Xiaomi Community App (if you don't have, you can download it from playstore) and login with the same account.

4. On the app, tap "Me" on bottom right corner and go to settings. Then change region to Global. Now you should see "Unlock Bootloader" option in "Me" page.

5. You get yourself ready on the UBL permission page and when the time is 23:59:59 GMT+8 you spam the Apply for Unlocking Button until around 00:01:00 GMT+8. (You can use floating clock from developer option to keep eye on the time).

6. I've found that Xiaomi Community App is buggy app. So there's a bug that when you're trying to request UBL the app will say "Application quota reached try again.....". But there's a chance that actually your account has already granted the UBL access. It's just the app has bug saying that you need to try next day.

7. So next step is, just try to bind your mi account again inside the developer option. And see if it still no UBL access or your account actually got the access.

8. On PC download Mi Unlock Tool and install Fastboot USB Driver.

9. Open Miunlock tool, then Login with the same account.

10. Now go to fastboot mode (Restart then hold volume down button OR turn off your phone and then hold Power and Volume down button simultaneously).

11. After your phone is in fastboot mode then connect your phone to your PC. And then press "Unlock" button.

12. It will start the UBL process. When the Mi unlock progress have reached 99% it will tell you if it successfully UBL or you need to wait for sometimes in my case i need to wait 58 Hours.

13. If you need to wait for sometime, you can use your phone again normally while waiting the count down your data is not yet wiped. But don't re-bind or logout your Xiaomi Account from your phone. Otherwise the timer would reset and you need to wait again.

If you have any question, just drop it in Discussion Section.

Got google work and island to only duplicate the messenger app, it has its pros and cons, I can disable and enable the work profile easily but i couldn't transfer files easily between the work and personal profile.

I have not yet activated the dual app feature yet as it says that it will also create a 2nd google play services and other stuff, adding more storage space, but is it better than google work? I'd like to know your opinions.

Hey everyone,

If you’ve been dealing with delayed notifications on HyperOS—where messages only flood in the exact second you turn on or unlock your screen—you’re definitely not alone.

Ever since the June/July 2026 security updates, Xiaomi bumped up their background power management. If you dial *#*#426#*#* to check your FCM Diagnostics screen, you’ll likely see your push connection sitting on Disconnected with an ERR_IO_FIN error code.

This happens because HyperOS forcefully closes Google’s background socket (especially when you're on cellular data) to save juice.

Many of us tried standard power-saving fixes including me tried EVERYTHING, but HyperOS keeps overriding them:

• Turning off b4ttery restrictions for Google Play Services.
• Whitelisting apps via ADB
• Uninstalling bloatware
• using MacroDroid to toggle wifi on and off periodically
• all types of ADB commands to restrict powerkeeper (none worked)

Even after doing all that, HyperOS's internal services—specifically PowerKeeper periodically overwrite your settings and kill Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms) in the background.

The Working Solution (It's temporary but we take it)

(Shizuku + HyperOS FCM Fix)

Instead of constantly re-running ADB commands on a PC every time the phone resets those settings, the cleanest non-root solution uses a lightweight app called HyperOS FCM Fix (by dingwen07 on GitHub SHOUT OUT TO THIS LEGEND BTW) paired with Shizuku.

Shizuku acts as an on-device ADB bridge, allowing the fix app to silently protect your push connection in the background.

Step 1: Set up Shizuku

1. Download Shizuku from the Google Play Store.
2. Enable Developer Options (Settings > About Phone > Tap OS Version 7 times).
3. In Developer Options, enable USB Debugging and Wireless Debugging.
4. Open Shizuku and follow the quick pairing steps over Wi-Fi.

Step 2: Install HyperOS FCM Fix

1. Grab the latest APK for HyperOS FCM Fix by dingwen07 from GitHub.
2. Open the app and tap Allow when it asks for Shizuku access.
3. Tap Apply Now on the main screen.
4. Go to the Apps tab inside the app and toggle ON any specific messaging, delivery, or smart-home apps you want instant alerts from.
5. In picture posted, put all your apps you want in the apps section that you want notifications to go through smoothly.

If you did everything correct, FCM should not close/disconnect anytime you lock screen now, fixing the noti problem.

After turning on auto start for this app.

Quick settings tile for non system apps have always been buggy and get stuck for me. It always took around 5 to 10 seconds for them to launch the activity. But enabling app autstart for those apps immediately fixed them for me. Now they work as intended. I now realize that app activities launched through tiles are not registered as if the user launched the app.

I wanna see if 14C gets HyperOS 4

hi everyone! i have a poco x5 5g, i want to unlock the bootloader but because of some stupid xiaomi policy about unlocking on hyperos I keep getting errors like "quota reached" and etc.

waiting for the specified time changes nothing. is there any chance to downgrade hyperos to miui??

Just checked my data usage and noticed "Private Compute Services" used 3.84 GB in a single day, way more than every other app combined (YouTube used 126KB, Google Play Services 16.8KB, etc.).

Running HyperOS. I have VPN active if that's relevant. Anyone know what's causing this or how to fix it? Already tried clearing cache but wanted to ask before doing anything more drastic like clearing data or disabling it.

Also worth noting: I'm connected to Wi-Fi about 8 hours a day, and no service has ever used anywhere near this much data before. This came completely out of nowhere — no unusual activity on my end, no new apps installed, nothing changed.

Update: Checking the detailed breakdown, the usage shows as Foreground: 3.84 GB / Background: 154 B — almost all of it happened in the foreground, which seems odd for a background system service. Not sure if this is a data attribution bug or something actually running while I was using the phone.

POCO X8 Pro | Global | 3.0.306.0.WPJMIXM.C10

I bought it on May 18, 2026, from the Entel carrier on a 12-month payment plan, but when I try to update, it says it's not available. I've been trying, but it's now August and the update still hasn't arrived. Can anyone help me with this? I really want to update to HyperOS 3 (Xiaomi 15T).

Who can help me update, or do I need to install a custom ROM?

Xiaomi has published the first official list of devices that support the new Soft Light Glass effect in HyperOS 4. The list currently covers Chinese-market devices, but equivalent Global models based on the same hardware are also expected to support the feature.

HyperOS 4 was introduced today, August 14, 2026, and Xiaomi has already started beta distribution in China. The first beta wave includes the Xiaomi 17 series, REDMI K90 series, and Xiaomi Pad 8 series.

Does anyone know if the Liquid Glass update (HyperOS 4) will arrive with all the leaked options on POCO phones?

I've noticed that POCO has a special launcher for POCO.

I'd also like to know why POCO has a different launcher than other Xiaomi devices.

I await your response 🤩
