Redmi 5 Plus Screen Problems - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

I've been seeking help over most big android forums, and I can't seem to get anymore help other than that, and it's utterly annoying.
So I got a redmi 5 plus over in my country which is Malaysia, and it has a unlocked bootloader, and the box that came with it is in Chinese, so I can only assume it's a imported device. And it's fine in the few weeks, after 3 weeks, my screen started to lose control. I can see the screen showing the image, but I can't make any touches on the device and it won't respond, and the only way to fix this is by locking the screen and unlocking it again. And it won't permanently solve the problem as well. It still occurs randomly between uses, and sometimes it just loses control with everything flashing on screen (emulated touches I assume), and I can't control it until I lock the screen and unlock it again. And I've tried disassembled it and reconnecting the screen ribbon cable and it still occurs. Any method of fixing it for good, it's been messing with my gameplay or normal usage and it's really annoying. Thanks for any help in advance.

Try flashing the latest firmware files for the stable version of MIUI. There may be problems in your firmware partition.

My fone liked yours
When i use stock chine it does not happen... After i unlocked & used miui eu, sometime same yours...but i update always ( eu weekly) almost this phenomena sometime happen....
I think this problem is connection to rom it does not compatible with hardware

It happens to me also on global rom 9.2.3.0 NEGMIEK when turning off memory optimization on developer options. The issue goes away after putting it back to middle.

MI Redmi 5 Plus Touch not working issue
I am experiencing the same issue with my MI Redmi Note 5 Plus with MIUI Version: 9.6.2.0 (NEGMIFD) - Stable version.
I have checked the apps and removed unnecessary apps to make sure this is not because of the any app installed.
Please suggest me what can I do to fix this issue?

just turn off auto brightness... it conflicts acclerometer and gyroscope too
For me it's the same but it only happens with YouTube.
Just simply turn off autorotation and turn it back on. It should solve the problem without rebooting.

Did you find a solution yet? I've switched between different ROMS, from global stable, to Chinese Dev, global dev, Santosh's CM13, official RR. no matter the ROM, the rotation big is as persistent as ever. Infact, for me, it's not even exclusive to YouTube. Any video player, or even videos on Chrome trigger the auto rotation bug. Simply toggling auto-rotate on and off only fixes it half of the times. The rest, it requires a complete reboot. Really fed up. Any updates? Is it related to a particular batch of phones? Do i need to get the SOC replaced?
In the latest official update is fix this problem, 7.3.7.0. When you update your note just in settings change from autotatic to increased contrast ( display settings ).
I have redmi note 3 and facing 2 major issue one of them is auto rotate on off is not working and the another one is alarm is not ringing when my phone is powered off .

Pocophone making random calls

Hi guys,
Kind of new to pocophone but I'm experiencing something really strange that I haven't on any other phone I've had before. Here's the background..
I bought the phone as a gift for my mum and she absolutely loves it but she's told me the phone will randomly make a call itself. I didn't believe it until I saw it happen. She can be on the phone (having made or received a call legitimately) and the call will automatically be put on hold waiting for her to answer a call from another person. The issue is, that person hasn't called her so when she calls back, the person is confused. This can also happen when she isn't on the phone
I checked her call waiting options (turned off and on, neither makes a difference) and reset the phone to factory settings but still getting the same issue. We haven't set up Google assistant or anything similar so the calls wouldn't have been made my a voice command either.
It's really strange and I've looked on the Internet but can't find anything reported on it. The phone is running miui 10 and she is on virgin mobile. The phone is less than 2 weeks old.
Any help is much appreciated.
Vik
Haven't faced something similar. If I were in your shoes, I would 1. Factory reset everything, 2. flashed latest global stable miui ROM and 3. checked again if the same problem persists.

Thanks @melodystyle2003. I've tried a factory reset on the phone. When the phone does a factory reset, would that not install the latest stable miui ROM? It installed miui 10 and when I checked for updates on the phone, it informed me that there were no more updates available
I think the problem is, proximity sensor. This used to happen to older family member.
About phone->MIUI version, which version does it use?

This is the latest stable version.
Install the google dialer, and force stop the default one. Also, try switching your network connection, like if it's on 3G, shift it to 2G or vice versa, for some time.
And if proximity sensor is the cause (as mentioned by another fellow member), you can check the sensor wake up time through BBS or similar app. Proximity sensor does appear in the sesnor column of BBS app. And going through the wakelock's data, you might also be able to detect any other possible cause.
Have you tried switching off the 'redial automatically' option in the dialer options? That seems to be your problem.

It's not the hardware fault. Old people tends to keep the phone slight upwards while speaking, the proximity sensor wakes the screen and by accidentally registers the touch. This usually happens and the accidentally put the call on hold, accepts the second call or the add new call. You can try using the phone for a day.
Old thread, but just wanted to add that we have the same issue with a Pocophone we use at work. When you put away the phone after a call, then at random times it calls the last person you talked to before the current call. Does it about 1 out of 40 calls and is 100% a phone firmware issue, not some old lady holding her phone wrong.

UI glitching/lagging at random times

Hello all,
Last week, I broke my oneplus one's screen so I decided to try and revive an old oneplus X.
A month ago, this device was still running the latest available OxygenOS but I played around with the device at the time and decided to install Lineage 14.1. I used the following versions of TWRP and LineageOS:
- LineageOS-14.1 20181110-nightly-onyx-signed (was no longer available on the official LineageOS site)
- TWRP version 3.3.1-0-onyx
After installing LineageOS 14.1, I noticed that there were some glitches when using the phone and the UI would lagg very hard sometimes. Since my Oneplus One was still working fine at the time, I decided to not troubleshoot this any further and put the device away.
Unfortunately, last week I dropped my Oneplus One and broke its screen, so I immediately tried to fix the Oneplus X again. I figured this might have been an issue with the LineageOS 14.1 ROM so I browsed this forum for an android 9 build and found the builds by YumeMichi and by psychem.
First, I booted into TWRP and performed an advanced wipe with every option selected.
Then, I installed Yume's build using the latest version of the ROM and Yume's version of TWRP: "twrp-3.2.3-20190127-onyx".
This booted fine and looked very promising at first, however the glitching/lagging returned after a few hours of use.
Then I cleared everything again and tried psychem's version (11.08.2019 build, without MicroG). I did not change the TWRP version (still using Yume's TWRP). This would not boot but I solved that by flashing Yume's build again and then dirty flashing psychem's build on top of it. That worked fine, untill after a few hours, the lagging and glitching returned.
The past week I've been playing with the power settings and trying to find someone with a similar issue on google. No luck, unfortunately.
The, on 22/08, I noticed psychem released a new build (22.08.2019). I installed that one and at the same time enabled the option "Force use of GPU for 2D rendering" in the developer options. That seemed to do the trick. I was able to use the device for 2 days without any issues, until the glitching happened again yesterday evening.
Today I installed the 23.08.2019 build but that did not solve the issue unfortunately.
To clarify what I mean by glitching/lagging: the phone seems to work fine for 90% of the time. Everything works, the device is performing smoothly and the battely lasts more than a day, awesome.
But sometimes, the screen starts glitching, the interface is extremely laggy and the phone might even randomly reboot. This phone will then be glitchy/laggy andis unusable for an hour. Rebooting does not help, clearing caches does not help, ... The wierd thing is, the same behaviour is also present within the TWRP interface at that moment (so not only once android has booted), as you can see in this video I made. It as also present during the boot phase. But, after a certain amount of time (usually 20-60 minutes), all is fine again and the phone works perfectly.
Is there any change this is not a hardware issue and I might be able to save this phone? The only reason why I think this might not be a hardware issue is because the phone runs fine 90% of the time.
Thanks in advance!
latest build is the 23.08 build.
Try this Nougat RR 5.8.5, works great for me, no lags at all.

Thank you. I installed this one, however that did not solve the issue.
I am inclined to believe this might not be related to the ROM at all, since all the LineageOS 14.1 ROM and Yume's ROM also had the same issue and also the issue is present in the TWRP interface and during the boot cycle too.
Is there any driver/firmware/software/... that might be causing this instead of a hardware issue?
My experience with what you are describing leads me to believe one of three things may be causing this. Double tap to sleep on lockscreen enabled, Gboard and Chrome.
Try this, enable software button and disable hardware buttons and see if this resolved your issue. If so ... Toggling software buttons from time to time helps.
AOKP is the only rom this does not happen as well as OOS of course.

Thanks for the suggestions! I do not have Chrome and Gboard installed so that should be fine, but I have disabled the double tap to sleep/double tap to wake option yesterday. Since then I've not experienced any more glitching/lagging. If it returns I will disable the HW buttons and use on-screen buttons and report back.
Unfortunately, none of these options worked. The glitching and lagging is still there and is becoming more frequent.
Any chance I'm missing something?

To put your mind at ease, try OOS and see if it occurs. Then you'll know for sure.

Screen lock issue during calls

Hi there,
I am facing screen lock issue during calls (phone, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) after updating from Android 10 to MIUI Global 12.1.1.0(RFNMIXM).
I have uploaded a video where you can see on the right phone screen is not locking even after a push of power button. The screen is turning off for a short time, and later it's turning on automatically. Is there any known solution for that? I haven't faced this before, and proximity sensor is working but not fully unfortunately.
Device: Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite
Only official and stable ROMs have been flashed via OTA, locked boatloader, no ROOT

Hi,
I too upgraded from 12.0.3.0 to 12.1.1.0 Official MIUI Global, and I have the same issue.
I think it's some kind of bug, one of some bugs that came with Android 11 ROM.
I'm thinking of flashing xiaomi.eu ROM to see if the problem still occurs, but I still have to wait to unlock the bootloader.
Hello, here is an update on the issue. A member from another forum did factory reset several times, but without success. Actually, I was also thinking to do that. Later he responded that issue has been solved by disabling "always on display". I have tried it, but the issue was still there. And tried another solution shared, turning off "Show fingerprint icon when the screen is off" which worked fortunately. Later, I have seen that the issue was solved temporarily, and the first solution really works for me currently.
Interesting thing is that some users have not faced this, but some did have. We should somehow report this to MIUI.

Question Has anyone tried Android Auto? Mine is not working im on Chinese version.

Has anyone tried Android Auto on Realme GT??
Does it not work at all or do you get black screen and stutters?
If it's the latter, turn on 'keep display on while charging' option and it will stop doing that.
App is not crashing at all. But when i connect the usb cable to the car this appears.
Try installing the latest beta released 2 days ago. It allegedly fixed some car connections which have been broken.
Otherwise try getting global rom if possible.
Do you have a apk for the beta?
Do you have a photo of working android auto on global rom so i would not waste effort on converting chinese to global.
I got mine from apkmirror.
Is this global or Chinese version?

Got it working. Worth the Conversation For CN to Global.
Nice, so going from CN to Global ROM solved the problem? I'm on CN and Android Auto isn't working for me either - not sure if it's a head unit or phone issue at this point.

Global version has its own issues too. It freezes if the screen is locked. You have to turn on keep screen on while charging option.
It's the CN rom. I've been there a couple of days ago. The android auto is totally usable on Global rom the head unit screen flickers sometimes but I'm sure android auto will fix that on there future updates.

Thanks. AA has been a real pain so far and the new beta didn't solve things either. I usually have my phone screen on when AA is on, but I'll hold off going to Global ROM for now.

I have extreme flickers, to the point I could get an epilepsy looking at it. That is if it works at all, most of the time the head unit stays black completely and unresponsive to touches.

Appreciate the feedback. Not sure what is causing the issue at this point for the CN ROM but so far I have no issues with anything else, just AA.
I'm not sure but i think its Baidu and Breeno. Because they wont let you use ok "Hey Google" function on the CN rom.
Try reaching Imacaber1 He converts CN to Global via TeamViewer idk if it's free.
Just an update - side loading the latest version of Android Auto now spits out an error where it says the app is not preinstalled.
I assume global ROM has AA right out of the box?
Global version has AA pre-installed yes.
Mine is working but had a roadblock that if phone got locked, car screen was frozen, got a tip and added my car as a trusted device and it resolved freezing issue. There is another option to turn off fingerprint icon display which may help too.
Realme Q3 Pro 5G also suffers from the same problem.
