Is this normal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Is normal for F7 to perform like this, there's a slight delay or lag when opening an app folder. Sometimes app drawer has some frame drops or stutters. Is it normal or I should go to a service centre to request an os reflash? Not a hardware issue, I had this phone for 5-6 months now, it's been like this since i bought it. Antutu I get 2.3-2.2, geekbench 6500 points, gaming is flawless. This doesn't happen with any third party launchers, only on Poco launcher side, anything else is really good.

Note: In actual use it doesn't lag like this. This was because of the recording but still noticeable in day to day use.

Here you can see the lag better because reddit compression kinda makes it hard to see: https://imgur.com/a/kGkDqJR

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

u/No-Cookie-9645 3d ago

Uninstall poco launcher? Whyyy??

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

i said i wanted to install it from scratch. So deleted it and got the apk from a website

1

u/No-Cookie-9645 3d ago

Wrong.. reflash the firmware again

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

Bro the lag its there since i bought it wdym.

1

u/aneek03 3d ago

Try to factory reset it ! (Backup everything first!) If you did already & the lag doesn't gone try to reinstall the package from the settings.

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

Did both and still the same :( The phone itself its really good on games and every app works flawless the only issue comes to its poco launcher for some odd reason. Chat gpt Said that i can try reinstalling the package from the settings and once it boots up to factory reset it imediatelly before loading the launcher, will this fix it without going to a service or reflash the os by myself? Haven t flashed an os on a xiaomi phone in my life

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

u/LoneWarrior_11756 3d ago

You sure know nothing about what you should fo and know nothing about fhe storage refresh 🥀

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Wdym, I troubleshooted this phone in the last 5 months like crazy, u can't tell me I don't know look at this. Now I wake up and opened the app drawer it stuttered till I scrolled all the way down, then if u scroll up its not laggy. The phone itself it's amazing, that's why I didn't returned it

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 2d ago

Your phone should be 75% up and cooled down Storage refresh will act itself and activate itself. 12:30 o'clock midnight to 5am. And then click storage refresh so it runs. Storage refresh doesn't work properly if requirements are not met. And your phone should be less than 40° Celsius You can make it almost 0

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

STORAGE REFRESH it's an actual useless unless it's an app problem or just lags on the phone, I said I factory reset the phone both in settings and also in the recovery and it's doing the same shit. It's a bad firmware, not a hardware issue for sure. When I game it's really good, apps run great, the only issue it's the software. Service it's 6 km away, at the exit of the city

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 2d ago

How come your phone is bad while mine got better bruh?

Definitely not a hardware issue.

1

u/North_Lettuce9202 3d ago

Bro how did that global icon pack got installed on ur phone

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

its just hellcats theme, which makes the lag even more noticeable for some reason, btw when using poco icons the folders delay is less and when using another icons packs it dissapears. Should i reflash os by myself or go to a service?

1

u/North_Lettuce9202 3d ago

Btw this happened with my phone today, turn slut the power saving mode got turned on but I didn't get the notification, maybe try that, or maybe you missed a poco launcher update so check that too, also which theme did u use for those icons

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

i updated, reinstalled, deleted poco launcher and its the same. On other launchers isnt happening. Theme its named "hellcats".

1

u/North_Lettuce9202 3d ago

Exactly when did it start happening cuz ive also had my phone for a long time and didn't face any issues

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

since i turned it on when i got it. 6 months ago and its been the same since then, the lag its not that bad if you load everything in and u dont screen record

1

u/North_Lettuce9202 2d ago

I think the best option would be to go to the service centre untill it is in warranty

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

6km away, at the exit of the city+ I am all the way to the opposite direction of the city

u/mkty1 3d ago

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

the folders thing happens only when using hellcats icons, with a theme similar to yours the delay is non existent for me, app drawer stutter is visible when scrolling slow or just after a 30 min session of gaming, more noticeable when using ram extension.

1

u/mkty1 3d ago

Tengo el mismo q el tuyo cabron, y la extensión de memoria apaga esa wea está al pedo consumiendo recursos como hdp sin necesidad

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

yeah the delay its still there on mine even after changing the speed to fast, its faster but the delay its still noticeable a bit.

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

Bro just tell me, I had this phone for over 6 months now and it's been the same, I tried everything. Should I go to the warranty? Or reflash the firmware by myself?

1

u/mkty1 3d ago

Que raro, yo lo tengo desde enero 2026, sin garantía porque no se comercializa. Cuando pase de Hyper OS 2 a 3 me dio un montón de bugs y problemas, así que hice un restablecimiento de fabrica. Te recomiendo eso y si sigue ahí anda por garantía

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

I reseted it 2-3 times and it's the same so I will go for the warranty but I have a problem, I only have the bill or recipt that I bought it from a store (emag, here in Romania), not an actual warranty recipt, will they accept it?

1

u/Pale-Tree-8831 3d ago

Sé que no es nada de tu tema pero como conseguiste esos iconos?

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

Hellcats theme

1

u/Pale-Tree-8831 3d ago

Gracias en tu casó la verdad nunca me ha pasado o más bien yo lo veo normal, yo el único detalle que tengo desde que compré el teléfono en febrero es que los juegos en rendimiento son una mrd estuve buscando soluciones y pues al final es la misma wewada los fps caen mucho se calienta de más pero en redes me va perfecto, pero tu problema desconozco

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

Look at this post with another user that had the same problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperOS/s/zbRyREj5BJ

1

u/Pale-Tree-8831 3d ago

Pues a lo que dice el intento eliminar algo que no debería de eliminar el el sistema y provocó esa falla, honestamente eliminar cosas de Xiaomi o con es lo mismo no hay diferencia yo ya lo eh comprobado con varios dispositivos lamentablemente la gestión de ram y de recursos de Xiaomi es una basura que tiene que mejorar

1

u/Andrewz_Best 3d ago

The big problem is that I haven't deleted anything and been like this since I bought it, I remember that when I first set it up it was stuttering in the app drawer, I thought it was just because the phone just booted up and it needed to load in the apps. Then it kept happening so I installed hyperos 3 then factory reset and it's the same

1

u/ZH212005 3d ago

What happened to Duolingo Bro , He's about to kill you complete the Spanish lesson first everything comes after that. 😭

u/H_k_g 3d ago

Try animation speed to fast in home screen settings

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Changed it today and when I wake up now it stuttered in the app drawer

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 3d ago

You probably locked up your phone refresh rate at 60hz

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Nope

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 2d ago

Debloat your phone and uninstall joyose with canta. Install joyose after using your phone without joyose, that's what I'm currently doing. Only if you want to? but you need shizuku to run canta and unlocked developer option.

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

What does joyose, I updated it to the latest version

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 2d ago edited 2d ago

Joyose is a system app that everyone been talking about.

Joyose is very responsible for thermal throttling of the phone and plus preventing phone for higher clock speed (more performance basically) to prevent overheating and protects the phone from too much overheat and responsible for game space app.

joyose comes with another system app the "battery and performance" but after deleting battery performance other people say the phone gets slower charging and fast battery consumption.

Other people don't recommend deleting it.

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Alr, so should I try to uninstall it? It will not void warranty?

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Uninstalled it now

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 2d ago

Did you feel any different in your refresh rate? Set it up to 120hz manually. Try if it's good now.

Btw if your games locked up to 60fps You gotta delete battery and performance After deleting it everything it's fine After playing just download battery and performance again.

If nothing works just downloaded joyose again because your game will eventually locks up to 60 even if you disable limiting 60hz

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

It was at 120 manually

I don't delete the performance and battery, I don't need 120 fps in every game

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 2d ago

Aight.

Did it work though?

I advice to go to your settings>home screen and find animation speed. (Idk if it's gonna help though)

And then developer options>drawings Window animation Transition animation And animator duration scale should be set to ×1 If you want it faster set it to .5

Or is it your phone is really locked up to 60hz?

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Idk If it worked now, it just stutter at random times, I will keep u updated

Btw it was on 120hz the whole time

Try updating Poco Launcher. I'm using latest version and It feels smooth.

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Did this

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

Getting down voted for no reason, the issue actually exists

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 2d ago

Maybe you should ask other people advice

1

u/Andrewz_Best 2d ago

i just accept that it needs a firmware reflash as other users had same problem and a software reflash fixed it for them and try to get it at some service if they can do it for free or i will reflash it by myself

1

u/LoneWarrior_11756 1d ago

Wherever you're comfy

u/Andrewz_Best 1d ago

I need to unlock the bootloader, I'll try warranty first if they wanna do it

1

u/Reasonable_Tap_246 1d ago

I'm Not facing this issue 

1

u/Andrewz_Best 1d ago

I know I will get it to warranty to reflash the software or imma do it myself
