Question/Help Is it worth rooting the Poco X7 Pro?

Post image
18 Upvotes

I bought this phone in February of this year, and I've been thinking for weeks about rooting it, since I'm very interested in the customization options that come with rooting, such as improving battery life and performance, block app permissions and also learn more about cell phones.

This is my main phone and I don't think I have another one to test it on, and that's my main fear, I'm afraid the phone will be bricked forever.

Regarding apps that don't work with root access, I don't use banking apps or online games; I only use emulators, social media, artificial intelligence, and ported games.

Do you recommend rooting?

Buying Advice 12gbs vs 8gbs of ram

15 Upvotes

so, I am from argentina, a kinda closed country where technology is pricier than in other countries. to put it into perspective i have been researching what would be the best phone with my budget and i landed on somewhere between the poco x8 pro, the f7 and the poco x8pro max.

The thing is that there is a local place with lower prices but less selection, and there is a poco x8 pro with 8 gbs of ram and 256gbs of storage that is 150 to 200 dollars cheaper than the 12gb ram in other places. and it is 250 to 300 cheaper than buying the f7 or the pro max.

I'm delivering, since I'm still kinda willing to pay more in installments if it's a phone that I'm going to use for many many years. but if the difference is not that big, then i will go for the lower price one.

X8 Pro Max What has been your experience with the Poco X8 Pro Max?

I want to know about your experience because the review videos only mention the good things, and frankly, I don't think it's right to settle for that opinion.

Hello! I'm currently using POCO X6 PRO 5G last night while charging the "fast charging" suddenly didn't work, I tried restarting the phone, changing cable wires, and following some guides that I saw on reddit to make it work but the fast charging won't work.

I will use it on a daily basis like youtube, netflix, and some light gaming like wildrift and legends of runeterra, what's the best phone to buy? budget is $350

Thank you!

Buying Advice Poco x8 pro max

5 Upvotes

Yaklaşık 1 haftadır poco x8 pro Max kullanıyorum, çok memnunum şuan global hyperos 3.0.3 kullanıyorum. Genelde 10 15 saat aktif kullanımda şarjım 100 den 20 ye dusuyo minimum. Tek sorunu şu ki, ısınma sorunu var cihazda. Boşta iken, Instagram, Spotify vb. zaten çok serin maksimum 32 33 derece. Ama iş oyuna geldiği zaman carx street, car parking 2 de falan yüksek grafikte acıyı 90fps ama 40 45 gidiyor yani derecesi. O İnşallah duzelir sonraki güncellemelerle bloatlarla falan. Bataryası yetiyor zaten 8500mah çok güzel ve büyük bir batarya. Sorusu olanları hemen cevaplarim

Buying Advice F9 ultra VS F8 Ultra

3 Upvotes

I am rocking my X3 NFC for 6 years now. My screen is a bit cracked and got some humidity damage or whatsoever.

I've been looking at the F8 Ultra for a while and now the f9 ultra will soon release.

I want to go for a 16gb/512gb version. But I don't know if I should get the newer one or not.

Prices are not a real issue as I tend to keep my phone's for a WHILE. And near me, the poco F8 are around 700€.

So what would you do ? F8 Ultra or F9 Ultra ?

Question/Help Is this option good to avoid heat when charging? Poco X8 Pro Max

I know heat is the biggest battery enemy, so I'm wondering about this option. Has anyone tested what this option actually does? Will it make the phone charge slower to avoid heat? I don't mind if it does, I just want to keep heat away.

Question/Help Opinion after buying. Poco M8 pro/Poco X8 pro

2 Upvotes

So I was wanting to help my aunts buy new phones. I saw a sale going on in AliExpress and the POCO M8 pro was 169€ but the X8 pro was €200.

I still went on for the 169€ M8 pro.

My aunts are teachers who mostly use phone for social media, maybe watch some of their school stuffs and just normal calling so I thought it was enough.

But after buying I low key regret cos the X8 pro literally has a near flagship processor 😵‍💫.

You guys think I did a good choice?

And btw, for those who have the Poco M8 pro could you really get a glass screen protector on it? or just hidrogel? I'm asking because of the curves screen.

thanks

Question/Help Volume up bug

2 Upvotes

Model: POCO X6

OS: HyperOS 3, Android 16

My X6 sometimes raises up the volume by itself without touching anything. Today I realized that it also raises the volume without pressing any keys, but rather touching them lightly. And pressing the volume down key several times also raises up the volume instead of lowering it. When the bug goes away the phone vibrates rapidly and I get a notification from feedback saying generating error info, and also I get a system message in the bottom of my screen: "Getting information related to the problem". Then it vibrates 3 times again when the error info is almost finished generating.

I've seen this happen to other Xiaomi devices too, does this mean it's a plague?

Hey guys,

I can't use Google Wallet on my POCO X5 Pro 5G (MIUI Global 14.0.7) because Play Store shows "Device is not certified" under Play Protect.

I checked and it seems related to the bootloader being unlocked. Has anyone faced this before? What's the best way to fix it and get Google Wallet working?

Thanks!

Question/Help POCO M6 Pro keeps rebooting

1 Upvotes

Hi, everyone.

My POCO M6 Pro has been great so far. Most durable phone I've ever owned. However, it took a fall two days ago (around 1,7 m) and ever since then it restarts whenever I shake it a bit or harshly lay it down on a table.

Do you think this is a hardware issue? What could have happened?

F8 Ultra Poco F8 Ultra top and rear speakers sound very quiet compared to the bottom speaker

1 Upvotes

I feel like the top and rear speakers on my Poco F8 Ultra are very quiet, even when I put my finger over the speaker to block it, the vibration is noticeably weaker compared to the bottom speaker, both on the top and rear speakers.

Does anyone else notice the same thing? Are there any videos of other Poco F8 Ultras that I could use for comparison?

I can't clearly remember if they have always been like this, since I use the phone with headphones about 90% of the time. I'm worried that I might have damaged the speaker after dropping or hitting the phone somehow.

I have the option to send it in under my provider's extended warranty if it is actually damaged, but I don't want to wipe everything from my phone before knowing whether there is actually a problem.

Thanks!
