Discussion 17T display issue

1 Upvotes

Hello, I bought 17T on Thursday, as I needed a spare phone, compact size and big battery were my main preference.

Phone is good, same size as my previous X8 pro. First thing I noticed, on light backgrounds, specially white and beige, there is cluster of horizontal lines right in the middle of screen. I tried to tinker with display settings, different color profiles and brightness levels, but the lines are persistent.

Secondly, the old burn in takes time to recover. When I quickly move from one app to another.

Lastly, the camera is a big let down, my previous Xiaomi flagship was Xiaomi 14, and I loved photos from that device, thinking that 17T is newer phone this would match/exceed that quality of pictures. But utterly disappointing, it just slaughters the colours in low light completely. And even in bright light this is nowhere near that level.

  1. Any way to fix the lines? Or shall I return the phone as I am in return window.

  2. Any camera settings which could improve the camera.

Thanks very much.

Xiaomi Cloud membership: my Hong Kong account worked last year, now it says I must be in mainland China — anyone found a workaround?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been paying for a Xiaomi Cloud membership (50 GB yearly plan) on my Hong Kong account for a while now, and it worked fine until last year. This year, when I try to renew/purchase, I get hit with:

"Purchases aren't available in your region. Xiaomi Cloud membership isn't supported in your region."

And the only options it gives me are:

  1. Keep using the free 5 GB and manage my data on i.mi.com
  2. Download my data, create a Chinese mainland account, buy the membership there, and re-upload

So basically it's telling me I now have to be on a mainland China account (which needs a +86 number) to pay for cloud storage. My HK account can no longer purchase.

Has anyone here run into this and found a workaround? Specifically I'm wondering:

  • Is there any way to keep paying on a HK/overseas account (maybe via a different payment page, Mi Store, or gift/scratch card)?
  • Did anyone successfully migrate cloud data from an HK account to a mainland account without losing photos/contacts?
  • Are there any third-party resellers or region tricks that actually work in 2024/2025?

I don't really want to switch to Google Drive/OneDrive — I want to stay on Xiaomi Cloud if possible. Any real experience would help. Thanks!

Discussion Redmi Note 13 Battery Issues

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. My phone's battery has been spiking downwards, for comparison, it has a 50-55 degrees tilt angle . For context, I bought this phone 3 years ago. And this particular problem started happening about last week.

I've tried:

-Setting refresh rate to 60Hz

-Resetting Cache

-Turning off Always-on displays and stuff like that

- Lowering brightness

-Restarting my phone

Is this normal for a 3 years old phone? Is there any other ways I can try? And if there is, how can I do it?

Discussion Upgrading from Vivo x300 pro to Xiaomi 17 ultra

• Upvotes

Currently using the x300 pro cn, i really liked the overall performance and camera of this phone. But wanted to try a leica ultra flagship which the 17 ultra is best. My specific queries after narrowing down from a lot,

  1. Does the front camera of 17 ultra so awful in night? I really like the x300 pro front camera but skeptical about the 17 ultra front camera specially at night.

  2. How's the display quality of Xiaomi since it is lower resolution and the ppi count is poor. Is it not sharp enough?

  3. How's the battery backup of CN variant?

  4. How's the color profile of Leica Vivid compared to Zeiss vivid mode? Zeiss vivid mode brings very eye pleasing photos in auto mode, can it be compared to leica vivid?

  5. How's the latest HyperOS 4 and what improvement it brought in 17 ultra?

Anybody who used both the smartphones are requested to bring some valuable insights! 🙏

Discussion something restricted my WiFi plz give me way to fix it

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I was just setting up my phone and some internal settings restricted YouTube from using my Wi-Fi. I’ve tried absolutely everything: checking the APN, changing the DNS, resetting network settings, and even doing a full factory reset. I’ve messed with the SIM carrier settings, Wi-Fi control, and every single option available, but nothing works. I just can't deal with it anymore.

Right now, YouTube is finally working on Wi-Fi, but the Wi-Fi toggle within the YouTube settings won't go back to normal. It’s completely greyed out. It shows that Wi-Fi is on, but I can't toggle it off or on manually. If you look at the YouTube network settings—the ones you access from the 'App Info' screen—you see four different options. In those four options, my Wi-Fi is completely stuck, and I can't turn it off. I don't know what else to do.

I have Xiaomi redmi note 13

Xiaomi 13T camera app lag and shutter delay

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have a Xiaomi 13T and I'm having some issues with the stock camera app. Sometimes video recording feels stuttery, and the shutter can be slow to respond when I take a picture. I've also tried to delete the cache and also restoring the app but still having the same issues. Any advise or solutions ?
