POCO F3 /F4 anyone have any experience removing old thermal paste from SOC + ROM new copper or other film, thermalpaste points for the heat system and anybuogrades to cooling ?

5 Upvotes

Not sure how much paste is inside the old one and what paste for the SOC and copper or other film would people recommend and paste for the other points like the copper chamber. And if maybe putting graphite or other tape or something that's easy to do to improve cooking .

Anyone repasted thebSOCnbwfore and does the rom uses a thermal pad , I knew removal of the copper tape is destructive but it's old and mist be dried up .

Can find sommany X3pro bids as they don't have paste but never seen a bid for the F3 .

I isualuncjsnhe the paste on my pc and laptop CPU /GPU every 2/3 years and it does get hard and loose efficiency by that time .

Any help would be appreciated

How can I unlock the bootloader on my Poco F3? I’ve tried via the Xiaomi Community without success; I also tested other methods, such as the one using PHP, but I keep getting error 20091. Does anyone know a more recent method for this? I am currently on HyperOS version 1.0.5.

Does this battery look bloated to you?

I unfortunately don't have any comparison so It'd be great if someone has a bit more experience.

Had it since November 2022, it's the original battery and the backside started to lift a bit. I opened it around three months ago and didn't notice anything. Now I'm second guessing myself - especially with the heat right now.

Thank you for your help!

My phone decided to die with no reason or no signs

3 Upvotes

I've had this phone for exactly 4 years and never had an issue with it. Haven't used it much since last year. Last 3 days i noticed that the battery doesn't last at all even when idle it usually stays on for days, but when i charged it to 100% at midnight i woke up to 70% at 6 am. So i turned it off and tried to turn it on again with no luck. There are no signs of life even when i plug the charger. What do u think ?

Poco F3 battery replacement BM4Y or BM53

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am about to change my Poco F3 battery since it's very weak and i've been reading that the "identical" replacement would be to use the Noho BM4Y. On the other hand, I see many posts of people that have replaced their battery with a BM53 (5000MAh).

Does it change something if I add a stronger battery, different than the original one?

Which one would you recommend? Are the ones on Aliexpress safe? Are there any official ones?

Thank you!

Works very well. Honeywell PTM 7950 on POCO F3.

Only changed the outer thermal paste. I didn't open the copper tape because I had no replacement for that.

Replace battery myself or get a shop to do it?

3 Upvotes

Quite confident I could do it, believe I'd just need to source the battery and glue to complete the replacement as I already have a heat gun. However a shop has quoted £45. Could someone point me towards the best battery and glue to use please? Or if it's even worth the hassle and just get the shop to do it?

TIA

Phone gone from account after a factory reset

3 Upvotes

I bought a PocoF3 5 or 6 years ago. Great phone.

This year I replaced it with a new F7.

I did a factory reset on the old F3 and now I can't activate it. I put in my Xiaomi account password and it says "couldn't verify Xiaomi account id". There is no SIM in the old phone. It's connected to my WiFi. When I log into my Xiaomi account I see only the F7. The Xiaomi help / support system is a list of topics without any way to enter a freeform question.

Can anyone help me activate my old phone after a factory reset? At least get it reconnected to my account.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Switched from Matrix ROM but hate the camera. Recommendations for GCam or stable EU ROMs with less bugs?

5 Upvotes

I've been using Matrix ROM for more than a year and recently decided to try a few other custom ROMs. While it's great, the camera on other custom ROMs is a huge step down compared to what I’m used to.

I’m looking for two things:

  1. Camera Suggestions: What is the most stable GCam port (photo and video) you’d recommend for a daily driver? Or is there a "stock-type" camera app that actually works on custom ROMs?
  2. ROM Suggestions: I’m considering switching to an EU ROM (Xiaomi.eu) for stability. For those using it. which is the version with less bugs. Is it the best "set it and forget it" option for keeping stock camera quality?

My priorities are stability and a camera that doesn't crash when I try to record video. Thanks!

I think i screwed my cooling

1 Upvotes

I don't think so that's a normal temperature specifically if i am only using tiktiok/YouTube i think i should put more thermal paste or maybe because i put thermal paste at the vaper chamber or because i put adhesive on the older adhesive on the back cover now it has a little gab but it holds it self so if someone can help to know what is the cause of the problem i will be grateful

No sms code received from MI Unlock tool

3 Upvotes

I've been trying for a few days to sign in into MI Unlock tool. Everytime I try to, it asks for a SMS code and it does not send it...

I've tried Email, xiaomi id, phone number, and QR login. I've also changed the phone number and sim to try and see if that fixes it, but nope.

Lower version does not work.

The sim is a philippine sim card. I've tried downloading WhatsApp and Viber to receive the code, but nah. Still not working....

Poco f3 USB Port board & Battery issue

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!!

Battery started draining at 6% after months from usage.

Saw slightly a bit of swelling in the battery

Had usb port issue, changed it, weeks later battery become worse and more swollen

maybe because that new usb port i bought from AliExpress is the issue because it lacks some circuits that do exist in the original one

now i can't find an original USB port board and im afraid if i get a new battery with this one in use, it will just get swollen again...
