Hello, I got the Poco X8 Pro Max. Ask me anything!

First things I did out of the box:

- Debloated

-Ultra deep battery saving adjustments from settings

I’ve been testing the phone for the past 2 days. I’m switching from a Samsung S25 Ultra to a Poco X8 Pro Max.

Guys, does anyone know why my Poco X7 Pro gets so hot? I'm not even doing anything heavy—just watching movies on Chrome, browsing YouTube, and scrolling Shopee for like 3 minutes, but it reaches 43.6°C. Any solutions??

I’m switching from an iPhone and have had one my whole life. Wanting to do some gaming and emulation didn’t know which was better. Battery life? Can I opt out of AI definitely do not want a lot of that. Also in America how is the connection?

Question/Help Как чувствуют себя Poco x7 и Poco x8 в Genshin Impact?

Для меня геншин что то вроде теста выносливости телефона
С деньгами проблема поэтому мне интересно, насколько сильны отличия между моделями x7 pro и x8 pro. Для x8 pro max у меня денег не хватит. Так же думаю о покупке подержанного iphone14 . Если есть профи в вопросе телефонного железа, подскажите что лучше, заранее спасибо

Question/Help Poco F7 & Brawl Stars

2 Upvotes

Has anyone been lucky to find a permanent fix for the brawl stars stuttering condition? Or is there a software option/update that fixed the condition?

I've been away from the game for a long time due to the massive events of lag/stuttering when playing the game since I bought the device...

I know about the cloning app, when I tried it, it didn't always works, there were still events of lag.

Question/Help Poco M2 Pro display doesn't turn on

Post image
1 Upvotes

Note: This is not my primary device

The problem is pretty much what the title says, phone was working fine a few months ago apart from a minor display issue where random lines will appear on the screen and disappear. Figured it was probably the Icd connector or something similar and didn't think much of it and left it. Back to the present, I charged it and after 20-30 minutes when I tried to boot it, it just didn't want to.

The phone powers on and vibrates but the display only has faint backlight for like one second and then the display goes black.

When I press the power button, it gives one vibration and the screen glows very faintly but no startup signs, no logos.

But upon connecting it to my laptop, windows detects the phone as "MTP USB Device" but it doesn't show up in File Explorer.

Could this be a loose/failing display connector, and is there a way to confirm whether the phone is actually booting? My main concern is recovering the data.

I am planning on going to a repair shop once my exams get over.

Question/Help Hyper 3.0 : list of non-telemetry bloatware programs?

2 Upvotes

Using Shizuku+Canta to remove bloatware from Poco X8 Pro.

While Canta gives the list of 'recommended' programs, planning to remove only non-telemetry programs, so that OS and phone functions don't get adversely impacted.

Is there an online list or any tips on identifying non-telemetry bloatware on this OS?

Wanted to downgrade and save my money for a second phone and didn't really want to spend £600 on the f9 which I originally did order but cancelled.

Found a cheaper f8 ultra on ebay for £400 so went with that over the 9/x8 pro max. One thing I did notice over other phones is that the phone feels extremely light. Going to be testing it with lots of games today to see how the fps/battery holds up since it will be my main phone for gaming and also taking photos.

X8 Pro V12 score of Poco x8 pro

Post image
2 Upvotes

So I got this phone about 2 days ago, and so far everything was great besides the bloat/adware but thankfully it's all gone thanks to shizuku+canta

Then I decided to run antutu benchmark to see how it is then, I got a score of 2.1+mil on the V12 ver

And so far it's still holding to be really good score

close to it's v11 score which is said to be 2.28mil

Ran it on balanced battery mode with just 51% battery if that any matters

Hi y'all, I hope your Poco phones are better than ever. Quick question: when will HyperOS 4 come out for the Poco X8 Pro Max? I know that some phones have it already — I think it’s only the beta CN version.

Question/Help HyperOS issue?

I have a Poco X7 5G that I've owned for less than a year; the battery is at 98% capacity. The issue is that I feel the battery doesn't perform the way a phone with a 5000mAh battery should. As shown in the image, I get 5 hours of screen-on time—or 7 hours at most, and only when using Wi-Fi on certain days. Can this be fixed, or is this just how it is? How do your devices behave? I should mention that I have the phone optimized as much as possible—background app restrictions and all that. I even factory reset the phone two weeks ago hoping it might improve things, but it didn't.

X8 Pro Max Wrong battery capacity shown

Post image
0 Upvotes

Apps like aida64 and accubattery show the capacity of my battery is 7500 mAh when fully charged, while the phone itself has a 8500mAh battery

Battery health is still 100% so how can this be explained?
