I have this split screen problem too on my Mi Max 3 after it got updated to Android 9. Every Xiaomi phone with Miui and Android 9 is affected by that bug. Will this be fixed? I do not have the problem with my Redmi 5 who is only on Android 8.1.

And I want to unroot my Mi Pad 2, how is this done? I did a full unroot with the installed supersu application and the Mi Pad 2 hangs now with the mi.com logo and does not start again. What do I need to do to get rid of this root stuff?

Hi, yes this function can be enabled in the Display settings and it also works.

Well using the USB type C connector with adapters and dongles bears a high risk of destroying it. USB type C is your only way to charge the phone, if that connector is broken, you can toss your very expensive phone into the bin. On the other hand, if I accidently damage the 3.5 mm headphone...

I had the Mi 5 and was never happy with tbe GPS. I bought the Mi 5s and regretted the decision because of all the bad feedback from forum members before the phone even arrived. I was considering to let it go back. Then I received the phone, paid 70 Euros for customs clearance and unpacked it...

I am not interested in the Mi 6. The phone is too expensive and I am happy with my Mi 5s. Besides, I do not want to wait another 6 months for a Global Stable ROM. I do not think the Mi 6 is selling well and support would be even worse than with the other high priced Mi phones. No headphone...

That is good news and it is very strange that it is not as good with the new version.

It can only be fixed by Xiaomi themselves but since they di not know how inaccurate the GPS in Europe is, they could not try a fix. Honestly, I do not believe the Xiaomi developers seem to be very interested in fixing things for people in Europe. I am going to sell the Mi 5 in a few weeks...

I experienced this: the Mi 5 seems to become less accurate with the more satellites it sees. I can get 4 m accuracy, sometimes. But this changes when more satellites are seen and are used for the calculation. I then end up at 10 m also. Signal reception bars also are in general below green...

The problems I have with the the Mi 5 camera is the focus hunting when recording videos. I experienced this while trying to take a video with waves hitting the shore line. I also noticed that the camera is not able to get a sharp focus lock when tipping the sunset area. My former Mi Note had...

The not at all working experience with the Chinese 8.2 ROM worries me quite a lot. I have very big problems with the GPS accuracy and have seen very long fix times with the Global Stable 8.1.4.0 ROM and if the not yet released 8.2 Global version would worsen the GPS quality, that would be really...

You can use the FTP function provided by the File Explorer to transfer files. It works like a charm.

Of course the GPS works, but is not accurate (meaning not exact). Please stop posting that the GPS works, we all know it works. The point is: It is not useful for exact navigation and disabling the Miui Optimization in Developer options does not fix this. Do you know why the new Mi 5c is sold...

Well I paid premium for the Mi 5 Pro 128GB and my GPS did not work accurate no matter what ROM I tried. This is 100% a hardware issue. I do not receive strong signals from the satellites. Plus it could also be an issue caused by the ceramics back.

The GPS will newer work well with the Mi 5, you cannot fix a bad antenna design with software. The problem is simple, my LG Flex 2 sees 27 satellites whereas my Mi 5 at the same spot only sees 16. And because the signal strenght bars on the Mi 5 are less strong (not many green ones, highest I...
