5 Known Issues In POCO F3 After MIUI 13 Update

Here are the 5 known issues & bugs about POCO F3 after the MIUI 13 update you faced or may see in the future. There will be solutions as well about how to avoid POCO F3 Bugs.

1. Fast Battery Drain Issues

Many times we have seen but never noticed about, how fast its battery drained. But when my readers reported this problem we noticed it and it was true. When we play games on it, the phone’s battery drains fast even it also consumes more battery on standby mode.

To avoid this problem you have to make your phone cool. This phone drains battery fast when the mobile is over-heated that’s why when we play games, the battery of the phone drains fast. Prefers to give proper rest to your phone if you play games or multi-tasking a lot or use a Mobile Fan to make your phone cool in any situation.

2. Refresh Rate Fluctuate

The POCO F3 supports a 120Hz AMOLED display but after the MIUI 13 update, it fluctuates a lot and disappoints users. When we play games or use heavy applications, the refresh rate and the graphics lag & fluctuate a lot.

A user on Reddit also reported that they are feeling like a 60hz refresh rate in their phone, even a POCO F3 Uesrs shared the screenshots where we have seen the 120Hz refresh rate locked at 60Hz only, watch here. So the company should definitely fix this problem as soon as possible. To avoid this, there is only and only way is you restart your phone in that situation and give your phone rest when the phone is overheats.

3. Unstable Charging

When we plug in the charger, it shows fast charging, but the truth is it doesn’t charge the phone as fast as we saw with a new POCO F3 Unit. I noticed it almost 12 to 13 months later after purchasing it.

A solution I have applied is that we have cleaned the Charging port & feel a little improvement but we never get that speed when in the new unit. I think the software update made it tired. So the company should fix this problem. But we can do only thins that, change the charging wire and clean the charging port carefully.

4. Auto Rebooting

Two times I noticed that, when I play games on POCO F3, suddenly the phone gets rebooted automatically. I was shocked and thought the phone was dead, but the phone rebooted and once again it was in working condition.

Again I started by gameplay and again phone was rebooted automatically. I shared this problem in my community and everyone suggested me to give rest my phone. Actually, I used this phone roughly, playing games doing video editing, and multi-tasking.

One of the POCO F3 users suggested I restart my phone every day if it is possible or you can do it once in two days. And really it worked.

5. Camera FPS Delay

One of the major issues I have faced in POCO F3 is when I started recording video at 60FPS, but it was delayed sometimes. The video was set at 1080p @60FPS but it doesn’t work properly when I record video.

Then I restarted my phone and then it worked properly. Actually, it was a bug and got fixed when is restated my phone. So I think, this is one of the major issues and solutions restarting the phone.
