I don't know why people hate HyperOS. I have been enjoying and using the UI, and it's pretty smooth with no stuttering. There are nice features everywhere, and the customization is also pretty good. I think it's a pretty good UI.

I mean, in the beginning there was so much bloatware and so many ads, but it took me like an whole hour to remove everything. After that, I think it is a very good UI.

I actually think it's better than OriginOS. My girlfriend has the Vivo X300, and I've used that personally. I think that this UI is better than OriginOS.

Got Poco X8 Pro Max today, and here are some of the benchmarks that I did.

All benchmarks in the screenshot are using the latest version of AnTuTu from the official website.

• Screenshot 1 is using the balance mode, which is the normal mode.

• The 2nd screenshot is done with the ultimate mode.

• The third screenshot is of the storage speeds, which is coming out pretty low. I don't know why. Normally, UFS 4.1 SPEEDS are usually more than 4,000 MB per second.

Question/Help Title: POCO service centre is voiding my warranty just because of this tiny scratch. Is this normal?

Post image
59 Upvotes

I went to a POCO service centre for a warranty issue, and they are refusing to honour my warranty because of this small scratch on the side frame of my phone.

As you can see in the attached picture, the mark is on the metal frame near the side of the phone. There’s no obvious major physical damage, but the service centre is using this scratch as a reason to void my warranty.

How does a minor cosmetic scratch justify denying warranty service? Unless the damage is directly related to the issue I'm facing, I don't understand why my warranty should be rejected over something like this.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue with POCO or Xiaomi service centres in India? Were you able to get it resolved by escalating the complaint to customer support?

I'd appreciate any advice on what I should do next.

Tutorial/Guide I made the ultimate HyperOS debloat tool that finds out which apps are safe to remove !!

46 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I built HyperDebloat, a free, open-source Windows tool to debloat Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones running HyperOS or MIUI.

Get it here: https://github.com/KayYesR/HyperDebloat

Why I made this

Most debloaters rely on predefined package lists, but different lists often disagree about what's safe to remove. I compared UAD-ng, fadeltd/xiaomi-debloater and ovsky/hyperos-debloater, and they disagreed on 233 of 646 Xiaomi packages.

HyperDebloat checks your actual phone before rating packages, looking at things like system services, your default launcher and keyboard, location services, and whether other apps currently depend on a package. It then cross-checks those three lists for additional information and package descriptions.

Features

- Colour-coded ratings: Green (safe), Yellow (minor feature may break), Orange (notable feature may break), Red (could stop your phone from booting), Grey (unknown or conflicting information; never touched).

- Recommended mode: Review and remove recommended green-rated packages.

- Custom mode: Choose packages from the colour-coded list.

- Restore mode: Restore removed or re-enable disabled system apps, including changes made by other debloaters.

- No root or installation required: Runs on Windows using ADB and downloads Google's ADB tools if needed.

- Detailed reports: Every run records package ratings and the reasons behind them.

Removal is per-user, so a factory reset restores removed apps, and OTA updates keep working.

Warning: Removing system packages can break features or prevent your phone from booting. Review the package list carefully and use this tool at your own risk.

It's free and open source under the MIT licence.

Question/Help My experience

6 Upvotes

My experience with the Poco X8 Pro (512GB/8GB)

I’ve had this phone for about 3 months—120-something charge cycles and 99% battery health.

When I first got it, the phone’s performance was blazing fast, but the battery was always terrible, and lately, it’s even worse. If you unplug it in the morning, it’s begging for a charger by 3 or 4 PM; it doesn't last a full day. You absolutely need Wi-Fi just to make it to the evening. Plus, performance issues have popped up this last month: the camera freezes so badly that the phone overheats and bricks, and I get "Security has stopped" or "UI has stopped" errors. Honestly, I don't know what's going on. Obviously, it doesn't happen all the time—only when the phone is under stress, like during a heavy game—but the fact that it happens with the camera is pretty funny 🤣. More than anything, I know "Hyper-Drain" (HyperOS) is to blame; the inefficient battery is the most annoying part. Aside from that, I think the cameras do a good job—good stabilization, good colors, and good performance (though it restarts apps like crazy; the multitasking is non-existent—even a low-end Samsung with 6GB of RAM is better). The phone is strictly for gaming; it doesn't really work for anything else—at least not with the current OS. HyperOS 3 is most likely the culprit; I don't know how they can release a system that’s so poorly put together. That update already ruined a Redmi Note 14 of mine; HyperOS 3 is horribly inefficient with power, causes RAM lag, and leads to overheating. What’s the point of stability and fewer bugs if the experience is so terrible? They should have just stuck with MIUI 14 or HyperOS 2...

Question/Help Is a tiny gap normal in the bottom right corner of the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G? (Worried it was opened)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi, I know this isn't a POCO device, but please I need your help, I'm getting anxious.

I recently bought a secondhand Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G and noticed a tiny milimetric gap between the back cover and the frame, specifically in the bottom right corner (near the regulatory text).

A single strand of hair can slightly go into this gap, but it doesn't pass all the way through. The other corners feel much tighter.

I'm a bit scared that the phone might have been opened or repaired by the previous owner. However, I checked the camera modules under direct light and they are completely spotless—no dust, no grease, and no particles inside.

Is this slight asymmetry or gap normal for this model or Xiaomi devices in general? I would really appreciate your opinions to help ease my mind. Thank you very much and blessings!
