    Push notifications from TypeApp

    Hi, I've recently installed TypeApp on my MI5s to get emails, but despite having tried everything (https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2016/11/17/how-to-fix-push-notifications-on-xiaomis-miui-8-for-real/#649d571b7572), I don't seem to be getting push notification through, I.e. I have to open...

    Battery Doesn't Last A Day Anymore

    Just an update, i ran a couple of battery repair apps, and it 'repaired' a few segments, and it was looking promising today, with 50% about an hour ago. I had my phone outside (in the cold, but not that cold) for a few minutes, and it instantly died. Back inside now, and it's fine.

    New Camera App Playing Up

It often starts and the controls load, but it shows no image and then says that the app is no longer working, and gives me the option to wait or to close it. Waiting often does nothing. I have to try opening it a few times, and...

    Is It Possible To Change How To Zoom On Stock Camera App?

    Hi, I've got a MI5S and am generally impressed, however, I definitely preferred the usability of the camera on my older Motorola Moto G, which you could tap anywhere on the screen to take the photo and just scroll up/down to zoom in or out. I often need to take photos with one hand, so would...
