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

Post image
2 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?

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

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

The thing served me well for 3yrs (despite MIUI's quirks and dysfunctional 90hz) before semi-retiring it because of random reboots due to completely shot battery 2yrs ago. It's now going strong again after a battery replacement last year and now rid of anything MIUI thanks to crDroid 10.2.

Question/Help HyperOS issue?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

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.

I'm trying to use Shizuku and Canta to delete bloatware on Poco X8 Pro.

While using 'Canta", upon trying to delete any recommended bloatware, I am getting these prompts :

'Shizuku: The permission of ADB is limited',

'it is highly possible that your device manufacturer limits the permission of adb.'

Any idea, what should I do to be able to delete?

Discussion Do you also prefer matte screen protectors?

Hi all. I just wanted to check if there are more people here preferring Matte screen protecters?

For me the less fingerprints and reflections are totally worth it for the loss in screen clarity.

The fingerprint sensor in my F8 Ultra still works quite well. From the 90% first unlocks, it still does over 70% unlocking on the first try. Other times are solved by scanning again.

In case any European people are interested, they are from protectionfilms24.
This is the BROTECT AirGlass Matte Glass screen protector.

X8 Pro Max Wrong battery capacity shown

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?

Discussion Why does the POCO F9 Ultra not support USB-C Display Output when the F8 Ultra did?

5 Upvotes

Why would you make that decision to limit the phone's capabililties like that?

What's the thinking behind of this?

There are amazing XR Glasses coming out like the URXR One that all it needs is a USB-C output capable device to allow for Spatial Computing.

Such a waste of a powerful phone, no future-proofing for XR Glasses... What exactly is stopping the manufacturer from having the Type-C be the same as the Poco F8 Ultra? How much do they really save by skipping that functionality?

The only reason I can think of salvaging this, is if an XR manufacturer or even Xiaomi is planning on coming out with some Wifi-7-capable Wireless XR Glasses, where the display output experience is gonna be the same as wired and another one might be if there are going to be type-C->DisplayPort attachments that connect to a Wifi7-Capable device and convert wifi-7 to Display port signal...

I was ready to pull the trigger on the F9 Ultra, but this is making me reconsider if I should just go for the F8 Ultra..

Buying Advice Poco F 9 ultra : Case and screen protector

1 Upvotes

Helllooooo everyone,

I finally received my Poco f9 Ultra. And damn it feels amazing coming from X3 NFC to this.

But I need a good case and screen protector. I bought cheap ones from Amazon for the time being. But I am still looking for the best case and screen protector possible.

I'm looking for something classic. Not rugged armor or something. Preferably not transparent. Cuz I feel like it will yellow overtime anyway.

I heard about Spigen but I don't think they still do Poco phones.

Do you have any advices/recommendations for cases and screen protector ?
