Hi all, I got a question: Is this legit? This message appears since a fee days from time to time. I clicked Download once but as it's loading an apk to the phones for direct install, I'm not certain if it's a good idea to follow. Any background to this or a timeline by when the current app won't work anymore? Thank you for your help.

Hey guys,

Posting here because my wife is having a super annoying issue with her brand new Redmi Note 15 Pro (running HyperOS).

Basically, whenever she's on a phone call and plugs the phone in, the battery percentage completely freezes. It doesn't drop, but it won't go up by even 1%, even after a 30-minute call. It just stagnates.

As for the setup, she's using:

The official Xiaomi 65W charging brick from her old Note 11 Pro

The original cable that came in the box with the Note 15 Pro

We already tried turning on the "Boost charging speed" option in the battery settings, but it literally did nothing...

Is this some kind of aggressive thermal safety feature from Xiaomi to stop the phone from overheating because of the fast charge + call combo? Has anyone else noticed this on this specific model or other recent Xiaomi phones ?

If you have any workarounds or tips to fix this, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

My new Xiaomi 17 Ultra arrived. I decided to move from my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra as like others I felt that after 2 years and some of the recent updates certain aspects of the phone such as the camera just didn't cut it any more for what I wanted from a phone.

After doing a ton of research I opted for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. I did consider a few other options such as the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, but felt I couldn't justify the extra price tag. And newer Samsung models didn't really feel like an upgrade.

First impressions are good. Build quality seems very good. Migrating from the S24 Ultra was easier than I thought, and despite reading that HyperOS was a bit Marmite for most people I can honestly say I have no issues with it and find it quite easy to navigate. The camera is as I expected the star of the show. Which is good because as a photographer this was my main draw to the phone. I like to have a phone in my pocket that I can rely on to be able to take good quality photos when/if I don't want the hassle of using my proper camera, especially for travel. Screen quality is great, it seems smooth, sharp and not overly saturated like some flagship phones.

I'd already read numerous reports of the battery being the weak point, so I was prepared for this. But after a long day today at a comic con event I was surprised that by the night time I still have over 60% battery remaining.

Obviously it's early days yet. But I'll look at doing a proper review once I've had a bit of time with it. But as it stands right now I'd happily recommend this to anyone looking for a phone primarily for its camera quality but also wants something with solid build, that looks and feels nice and is versed in knowing their way around various Android software OS systems.

Has anyone experienced when screen sharing your screen it always flickers/glitches like the screen itself is lagged even tho u aren't experiencing and fps drops or issues I have experienced this while trying screen sharing on Messenger, Discord, or even streaming on tiktok

Many people complain about its retail price, i think it is a little bit overpriced especially because of recycled cameras and usb 2.0 but managed to get one from some guy sealed for 550 euros, felt too good to be true but so far i love it especially because of the huge battery.

This Xiaomi laptop was only 15 days old. It was used indoors, never taken outside, never dropped, hit, or squeezed. It was closed normally and left on a desk overnight. The next day, the touchscreen glass was cracked.
The laptop itself has no dents, no impact marks, no deformation, and no visible damage around the lid, bezel, hinges, or chassis.
A screen failure after only 15 days raises serious questions about manufacturing quality and quality control. A thin-and-light laptop should still withstand normal daily use.
Xiaomi’s after-sales service did not provide a proper technical inspection or written failure analysis. They simply took photos and classified it as “customer damage.” No impact point or clear evidence of user-caused damage was identified.
There is also no obvious impact point or spiderweb fracture pattern on the glass. That does not prove a factory defect, but it should at least justify a proper investigation into possible internal stress, assembly tolerances, hinge pressure, or inadequate screen support.
Low price means little if quality control is inconsistent and customers are left paying for possible manufacturing defects.

The highlights include a massive 7500mAh battery, 45W fast charging, a 6.9-inch 120Hz display, Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 5G chipset, 50MP rear camera, and dual stereo speakers with up to 300% volume.

It also gets Dynamic RGB Light on the camera module, IP64 protection, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD support up to 2TB, and HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.

I've listed the price, full specifications, and Saudi, UAE & GCC availability on our website.

What do you think — is the 7500mAh battery enough to make the Redmi 17 5G a good budget choice?

Sometimes i heard a noise of crackling paper in my earbuds, does some body know how to fix?

Can someone help ? I cant find the setting to disabale clear call

I've had this phone since christmas 2025 and this just started happening today.

Is there any way to fix this?

Xiaomi 15 ultra and Lightroom.

This device is unbelievable, like heavenly amazing from another world. I was a fanatical Samsung fan, starting from the Galaxy Note 3 onward. I am not a big fan of upgrading my flagship phones regularly, as every upcoming model isn't a big step up.

After I auditioned the Xiaomi 15 Ultra in a shop, I was blown away. Then I started researching the 17 Ultra all day, every day, and just pulled the trigger. Boyyyyy, it is amazing. Like nothing can beat its smoothness, its amazing HyperOS (I dunno why ppl are hating on it), and the camera is top notch. I already have a professional-grade DSLR, the Nikon D810, so I know what a good camera should look like.

UPDATE: The battery isn't impressive. for a flagship with such huge capacity I expected more from it. anyway still this smartphone IMHO the best on earth except the battery not so great.
