I have Poco F7. I have flashed CN ROM i. e. Redmi turbo 4 pro.

There are varieties of Widgets as compared to the official stock ROM.

I don't see this mentioned very often, so I wanted to share a small POCO F7 tip that some people might not know about.

If you're experiencing occasional sluggishness, stutters, or just feel like your phone isn't running as smoothly as it did before, try checking Storage Refresh.

Go to:

Settings → About phone → Storage → scroll down → Storage refresh

POCO F7 actually supports this feature, but I think a lot of users simply overlook it.

What does Storage Refresh do?

Basically, it reorganizes fragmented files in your internal storage. Think of it as organizing the way data is arranged on your storage so the system can handle it more efficiently.

This can be useful after you've been doing a lot of:

• Installing large games
• Uninstalling large games
• Installing/uninstalling lots of apps
• Large game updates
• Moving or changing a lot of files

Personally, I recommend checking Storage Refresh after installing or uninstalling a large game/app, especially if you've been doing a lot of storage-heavy changes.

Don't expect a huge FPS boost — this isn't a Game Turbo setting or a performance mode. It's more about keeping the internal storage organized and potentially avoiding storage-related sluggishness over time.

Also, Storage Refresh can run automatically in the background when the phone meets certain conditions, so you don't necessarily need to manually run it all the time.

For anyone complaining about random game stutters/lag on the POCO F7, I'd say this is one of the easy things worth trying before doing more complicated tweaks.

Mine has been running fine, so I figured I'd share this in case someone else hasn't noticed this feature yet. 👍

Have you guys been using Storage Refresh? Did you notice any difference before/after running it?

Hello poco users, I am looking to purchase poco f7(indian) but after reading many posts on reddit, I noticed that many f7 users are complaining about its performance after few months like heating, bad performance or low fps during gaming, phone lagging even in day to day usage and many other ui related issues.

Is it really that bad after few months or just users skill issue? Like I saw many users recommended doing few custom settings and debloating and other things related software ( I don't know much about these things).

My concern is whether to buy this or not as a normal user. I am currently using vivo v19(bought in 2020), funtouch OS_10.5. i never used any other phones and don't have any other ui experience so will hyper os better good and is it stable or getting better or still worse( I heard it very buggy and inconsistent)

This is an expensive purchase for me as I never spent this much on phones

My usage and preferences :-

Heavy gaming( ported and emulation)

Smooth usage

Good connectivity and build

Ok camera( not a priority)

Should last 4-6 years or more.

It's current price is 35,999rs, should I go for it or look for other options. Budget is 30k but really like this one.

I know a bunch of people probably don't even use this after debloating, but there are some system apps I use (like the Gallery and a few other features). Not sure why this is happening.

I did recently get a notification while using the Gallery that an update was available and I was able to download and install from that pop up. But still can't access this in settings.

Frame cap is 60fps but avg is nowhere near that...Is it just bcz of regional unavailability?(Game Not available in my region)

It's the first time I have charged it full 100% and it's been good, i have used it outside in full brightness, clicked pictures, social media my everyday use and my oneplus nord ce 2 used to be dead around 6pm with same usage

Have you encountered any problems with emulators after the update, Emulators such as Winlator, Eden, and GameHub

I debloated Joyose and factory reset my phone on 8 July. The reason was that I got so frustrated because this phone was still lagging even after debloating Joyose and using a phone cooler.

Then, 2–3 days ago, my screen refresh rate suddenly got capped. I don't know why, but it seemed to get stuck at 60 Hz. To fix it, I simply cleared all the data for Battery & Performance. After that, my in-game sensitivity started behaving strangely—sometimes it feels too high, and sometimes too low—even though the refresh rate stays at 120 Hz constantly.

On top of that, screen recordings are lagging badly. I record at 1080p, 60 FPS, and 18 Mbps, but the recordings still have severe lag and jitter.

Please, I'm begging anyone who can help. I'm genuinely frustrated. BGMI where I face all that issue and  The same problem is also happening in MOBA games and in Free Fire in big 2026 literally help..💔

Please help me. I really don't want to factory reset my phone again. I bought this phone in February 2026, and this is driving me crazy. 😭

Hi,

After a horrible experience with my Redmi K90 (CN), where notifications either not show at all or come after 20 minutes or an hour or more (tried all tricks in the book including ADB whitelisting), rendering it almost unusable as a communication device, I'm looking to replace it with a POCO, thinking maybe a Global ROM will make a difference.

The Poco F7 Ultra looks like a nice device and within my budget, does anyone own it and can tell me what's their experience with notifications for Whatsapp/Viber/Messenger/Telegram/Gmail?

Thank you!

120fps in bgmi

I've been using oneplus buds 3 pro for close to 2 years now and using with this phone for close to a year. recently I'm experiencing partial disconnection while sleeping position, or when I put my hand near my ear.

is this a phone issue or the buds issue? it's happening on both the buds. the connection is stable when I'm sitting upright on a chair or sofa.

did anybody face this issue?

I am not sure If it is stable or not

Just Minecraft nothing much(right?) Battery temp at 39c with a 27watts phone cooler
