HI All,
I have been using Realme 1 (6GB , 128GB ROM) Black Diamond for past 15+ days.. Bought it on 1st Online sale at 1230 PM
I have no issues with the phone whatsoever, except for below
When I use the phone even for few minutes, I have to switch off WiFi , else its completely unbearable
I get headaches, there is a slight electrical shock sort of vibrations and also Eyes become sore.
I am not kidding, I have used Samsung phones , Huawei Honor phones and never had any issues.
I am forced to switch off WiFi , else phone is extremely difficult to use.
Pls advice any troubleshooting tips to find the issue.
Pls share the call center number for me to follow up. I searched on Google and didnt find the number
Do you guys face any issues pertaining to one mentioned above ?
Thanks in advance.
I think it varies from user to user.I remember seeing a review on YouTube in which the reviewer said the same thing.i.e,he is feeling strain in his eyes...
This is very unfortunate and I hope you solve this / feel better soon.
here is their number 1800-102-2777

I don't feel it. If you face a shock sensation then go ahead and return it at amazon or ask realme what to do.

Yep it was the review of realme 1.
No as of now I don't feel anything and I am not getting any headaches...
HI @all
Updates: Did a few more experiments
1) disabled 2nd SIM and straight off the bat there was lot more radiation
Also
2) Did SIM swap at Vodafone for both the SIMs (i.e got new SIM with 4G enabled) and enabled both the SIM again
And now no more headaches/eyes strain/etc
All is well now.
We can close this thread.
Summary : Do a SIM swap if not already should you experience high Radiation.
My realme narzo 30a causing severe headaches as well what 2 do??
Plz help

Can any one confirm if they are seeing a bleeding effect at the bottom of the phone lcd panel. Overall the lcd panel of this phone is really bad. Comparing it to my OP2 and the illumination of the panel is too low. Anybody else with the same issues? I have put up a pic of the issue. Updated images of comparison with OP2 (In each pic POCO F1 is the at the top and OP2 at the bottom.)
Update 10/09/2018
First up my apologies for being away for the past 3-4 days. I have been trying to solve the issues with the phone and then over the weekend was caught up in some personal stuff. I thought of updating my original post rather than putting up a new one as this whole thing has come to a conclusion for me. So just a small recap, I bought the phone on 29th AUG in the first flash sale. Received the phone on 31st AUG as soon as I started the phone I found the bottom chin had a weird illumination. After a few days as the issue persisted checked online and found that the LCD panel suffered from light bleeding issues. I just headed here and created this thread and put in a request on Flipkart for a replacement. After that here is what followed.
04.09.2018 - Return requested
05.09.2018 - Got a call from Flipkart that a Technician will visit to check the device and same will be completed by 08.09.2018
07.09.2018 - Technician visited my place and checked the phone, he accepted that there was an issue however he mentioned that it is difficult to observe and explain the issue to his seniors. He however took a pic of the problem so I was hopeful that a replacement would be provided.Late evening I got a SMS that tech visit was completed, I checked the Flipkart app and it said Replaced Rejected. WTF!!!! There was Return option so selected that and the reason I selected was quality issues with product. Was surprised to see that refund request was accepted and someone would pick the package the next day.
08.09.2018 - Courier guy came to pick the package. Since I have kept the back stickers with the bar code and stuff I had just everything back as I had received it. The courier dude was acting smart and since I had already left for work he tried bullying my Mom saying the phone is not working asking what the issue was, me Mum just asked him to shut up check the package had everything and take it like he is supposed to. After checking everything and making sure all accessories are there the courier person took the package. I got a message that package was picked and refund initiated and credit will show up in my account in 3 business days.
10.09.2018 - Credit received :victory:
Regarding the Issue
First - This is not a fatal issue and as far as I know LCD bleeding does not increase with time however this is a hardware issue so if you are holding on thinking some software update is going to fix this, then sorry you are wrong.
Second - I don't agree with the "you get what you pay for" argument simply because everyone is paying the same amount of money but having different experience (We can see from pics posted by users that for some the problem is obvious and for some it is minimal and hardly noticeable)
Third - If you have this issue and it doesn't bother you then I would say go ahead and enjoy the phone. If you noticed this after checking this thread then I am sorry
Fourth - I would strongly recommend that people buy this phone taking Replacement/Refund policies of the merchant that is selling the phone into consideration. Guys that have purchased this from Mi website directly and want a replacement are having a tough time and am not sure if Mi website even has a refund policy. For Indian users get this from Flipkart and not Mi website, for other countries make sure Replacement/Refunds are provided in case you want to avail the same.
Final Thoughts -
I though the POCO F1 had great potential to take over from OnePlus as a budget flagship alternative however they messed up. If the POCO team had spent a little more time and may be resources on QA ,Software optimization (bugs in MIUI, bad implementation of curved corners, multi touch issues, etc) and may be a better name {POCO I mean seriously!!! } this phone would have been a serious contender.
Conclusion
I would like to thank everybody that participated in this thread and responded with pics for a comparison. Since I don't have the phone anymore I don't think it would be right for me to post here anymore. I just put a new battery in my OP2 so going to wait for some time and see what the Pixel's gonna be like or the OP6T maybe.
Looks fine to me on my POCO F1.
Yes buddy, I have it too... I verified with 2 other poco f1's

This is so screwed up. I bought the phone coz I liked the Redmi Note 5 Pro I got for my dad. Poco screen looks bad when comparing side by side with Redme Note 5 Pro. Even brightness levels are horrible on Poco screen looks really dim at the same level as RN 5 Pro.

Well that just sucks. When did you get the replacement? I raised a request on the 5th of Sept coz I felt maybe a diff lot may not have the issue. Its funny coz some units dont have this issue (like the one posted here). I guess its like 6 out of 10 are reporting this.

All the best for your refund mate hope they process it without hassels. The pblm with this issue is that some people just say it looks okay. Best way to reproduce is to open Chrome blank page and press and hold Power off button till the power off options come up and check the bottom if it shows a halo effect.
Let us know how the refund goes it should help others in making a decision. Curious thing is not a lot of people complaining about this like the boot loader issue.

I guess you are opening chrome in "Incognito" mode. The effect is visible on white backgrounds I guess if you just download a white image in full screen it should show up as well. Have no info on the service mode however some one having this issue posted on twitter regarding a display test you can do.

P.S. I went back to my old device so I havent tried the steps mentioned in the tweet.
could you please explain about the issue, i'm not understanding the problem... I mean I do see a bit white color in power options screen but I don't understand the issue with this.

A bit of inconsistent brightness levels are expected with LCD panels however with the POCO F1 quite a few people are facing LCD bleed that is very notice able. If the inconsistency is minimal and some thing you can live with then its alright. For me it has been bothering me from day one as soon as I switched the phone on. I mainly use my phone for watching videos and the effect sometimes is more pronounced and that bothers me hence I have asked for a replacement.
I figure I'd post this here, since I don't know of any other forum that is even capable of delivering this kind of debugging information.
In their latest announcement they're asking us to provide more debugging data so they can properly analyze and finally fix the problem.
Their developers prefer when you send feedback via Settings-User feedback. It sends more technical data for them to help them debug.
Also they need the following information: Keyboard name + scenarios description + screen recorder videos (described below).
And for this particular problem they also require us to record the screen:
You can help us by providing more info. Here's how you do this:
1. Go to Settings > About phone and tap "MIUI version" 7 times to turn on developer options.
2. Go to Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > INPUT and turn on "Show taps Pointer location".
3. Start recording your screen with the Screen Recorder app.
4. Use the phone and wait the screen touch issue occurs.
5. Dial *#*#284#*#* to get the log.
6. Later you'll be able to find a bug report in Internal storage/MIUI/debug_log
7. Stop your screen recording.
8. Upload the screen recording and debug_log to Google Drive.
9. Send the links to us in the comments under this post.
We hope this will help us locate the issues you reported.

If it is, then sending them debug data will help them to determine this sooner. And that means we can ask for a refund sooner.
Yes but must xiaomi recogniz it's a hardware issue
There is not bug on international version, nor hardware bug.
I tried to get a refund on Flipkart but they said they will send only a replacement. Saw several threads on the MIUI forums where even the replacement unit Flipkart sent continued to have the same issue, so I refused (BTW Flipkart is censoring user reviews that mention this touch problem to keep the sales alive). That is why POCO can claim such a high 4.6 rating on the website.

Another update from the MIUI beta team: http://en.miui.com/thread-4075875-1-1.html
Recent analysis revealed that many touch issues or bugs which users experienced was related to specific regions and few regions were not affected by this.
Anyone facing touch issues can try changing their region settings to other (France, Belgium, Canada etc) after a factory reset or even via settings may solve your issues.
Please try it out and let me know in the comment section.

Yes this is exactly the problem I am facing as well. The touches are detected inaccurately, and out of order as well.
The problem is readily apparent around the 1:00 min mark in that video. It usually happens for characters that have some spacing between them on the keyboard.

one thing is very clear, If that happens only while using keyboard then it is surely software issue not the hardware ( this is what i think )

Display Driver related issue .
My problem increased to a greater extent where i was tapping "h" and it was taking as "b"
A reboot solved it.
( hence software )
In Miui9 the order of typing was very bad.
In Miui10 now it's just bad.
Let's hope.
Hope it will help.
I had some touch freeze/lag problems. But now it is gone. I only changed my custom mui theme to default. Now I experiencing super smooth touch interface. I dont it worked due to the custom theme. But in my case it works. Try it.
Currently I'm using miui 10.3.8 changed screen yet not solved what to do plz
I'm having the dreaded touch lag issue on my poco device.
I've sent it back for repair or refund but they refuse to do anything since the touch tests pass.
I tried explaining them my previous 3 years old device is fine and that the poco which is much newer and faster should do this and they don't listen to me, they say that the device is working like the manufacturer intended for it to work.
So, can anyone record a video?
It should only take 2-3 minutes to record and upload. Do it in 480p it doesn't matter as long as it shows the issue.
There are 2 ways to do it, the correct way, and the fast way, I'll write both.
1) Go to about phone, kernel version, tap a few times then CIT testing app will open. (if it doesn't open try again)
Then go to the top right and press the three dot menu, then additional tools, then touch sensor.
Then tap really fast on the edges of the display. If your device is working as intended the touches should all be registered.
2) Download realdrum, and tap really fast on the below drums on the edge of the display, If your device is working as intended the drums should register all the inputs without missing.
Again it's urgent, so I could use all the help I can.
Thank you.
Did you tried your device without a case? I read about cases doing this issued.

I feel for you. All the 7 pocophone I have tried have this annoying issue. I've complained and asked people about it, and who claims that theirs is working fine is either using Swiftkeyboard (which isn't as fast as Gboard), or simply doesn't know how to test this properly. Maybe they just don't notice it at all, but I doubt there's a single pocophone without this bug, and this is what made me give up on the phone.

Samsung went ahead and recalled all the Note 7s that had the battery issue, a much more expensive and higher selling device.

2 returned from a retail store, 2 from amazon, 1 that I tried from a store and 2 more from friends of mine. It's absurd how bad their quality control is. They claim that it's software, just like they claimed the screen bleeding was part of the phone. They're a ****ing joke.
Do you have a screen protector on , or to be more specific, a tempered glass one with the black band? If so this is your issue because the black band is slight raising the contact. Have you tried pressing the device harder to see it it registers?

No screen protector, pressing harder doesn't affected the usage.
Most of the units if not all have this problem, I canceled my order for this phone recently and I'm glad that I did. Xiaomi had to save on something and they did, sadly on the screen. Screens from tianma are known for their not very good quality ( rumors say that they catch afterimages after time ) and it feels bad that it turned out that this phone is a big no no. Screen is a numero uno thing when it comes to a phone, damn u look and type on it so despite the great specification this phone is a crap. People all over miui forum write threads that their pocophones have input lag and ghost touches. Xiaomi knows about it and since a month clam that they gonna fix it via ota updates. Let me tell you something they won't. It's not possible to fix it because it's a faulty digitizer that causes the problem which is obviously a part of the hardware. That's what happens when you try to rock the world with the best spec budget smartphone and u cut costs in the lcd panel area. With all that being said, don't fall for this phone. If you look for the good phone for 300 bucks then better option imo is for example Lg g6. Don't get fooled and stay open minded guys, peace.

I completely and totally 100% agree with you.
Just waiting right now to get my refund.

Good decision, refund this crappy phone and get something better. When it comes to me xiaomi just lost a supporter and follower, once Hugo Barra left xiaomi everything started to fall apart ( mi mix 2/2s are not as revolutionary as the first mi mix was or the mi 8 which is nothing else than a iphone x copy ). It's always good to wait and see the very first 3 months after a phone release, usually after this time most of the fails/cons come out. Have a good day anyways

Just tried using CIT as well as really drums. Problem has been solved in latest beta 8.10.18
U can try and confirm. Scrolling on the edges is also smooth now and even keyboard is working fine.

Again you are right.
I became impatient with my old phone and that got the better of me.
Will keep those words at mind next time.
Have a good day as well pal.

Well, it doesn't change the fact that lcd panels in pocophones are poor quality. I don't really believe that they managed to fix it via updates, only time will tell after let's say a month if the problem is fixed. I don't think that it will, it's better to send the phone back, get ur money and wait. There are way better options for example the aforementioned one plus 6.
Working fine for me
For me it is working fine. I can't see the blue line which show the position but the touch is working fine even when I tap it fast. The touch is always registered without the blue lines. You can always see a red dot where you touched.

And you try to understand smart boy that input lag is related to a hardware problem not a software problem, go and check by the way miui forums. There are plenty of people commenting that 9.6.25 didn't fix a thing.

Fyi op6 screen has high latency as well
so who thought that he can buy a flagship mobile with 300 $ ?! i think no expected that !!
you watch the reviews and the mobile looks like a mobile on steroids with 4000 mah then you buy the mobile and discover thats not the whole truth !!
the mobile lacks on the software and the hardware quality control !!
you are gonna face new problems that arent even found on cheap mobiles and were taken for granted before .. who could imagine buying a mobile with touch issues nowadays ??!!
anyway thats my list of problems that i want to share with you so you dont get deceived by reviews on the net :
i have touch problems .. it is not that severe but it prevents me from writing flawlessly and i have to spent double the time in correcting keyboard spelling mistakes .. i checked the display and it is the tianma fhd nt36672a display
i have other problems as well :
1. the display produce text red ghosting while scrolling text ( it could be minimized by fiddling with color but mobile colors will be messed up and the problem is still there partly )
2. there is quite a lag when dealing with camera zoom via touch and it is considered a massive lag not seen on cheap mobiles what about 845 sd processor
3. youtube hdr colors are washed out
4. hdr hevc 10bit files used to play flawlessly on embeded media player with correct colors but after update it turned out to be washed out as youtube hdr videos
5. light bleeding from lower edge is still there causing a bright edge
6. beside netflix and amazon problems not playing hd
Still have warranty? Have it replace.. mine works fine(no screen bleed,ghosting,etc).
When this phone launched at such aggressive price, everyone knew all along that the phone will have it's cons. Still the price and configuration makes it a fair deal in my opinion. There are few issues yes but nothing you can't shrug off.
Do not buy it, at least not until the touch problem is fixed.
I thought I would jump into this thread and ask my question...
So I have a Note 9 and it's... grand... it's just boring. I miss being able to really get under the hood and mess around with the phone. With the F1 I'll be able to do just that plus have a few quid in my back pocket after selling the Note 9.
The only things stopping me is the F1 is technically just a bit worse in most aspects (the screen being my major concern) and Samsung One UI looks interesting.
What you guys think?
I don't have any touch problems on mine.. but i have an annoying lockscreen notification issue.
While the phone is locked i receive a notification and it shows in the lockscreen. Then i unlock the phone without clicking/opening the notification. After that i lock the phone. When i wake up the phone and check my lockscreen, the notifications disappear. is there any way to fix the bug? it's really annoying. Please help guys. I'm on the latest stable update for poco f1. Global stable 10.0.6.0. I also use the default theme.

what a stupid response.. it doesn't happen on my oneplus and samsung phone.. notifications are supposed to be showing until we click/open them.. this is clearly a bug otherwise it only happens on xiaomi devices

just a joke, mate.
There are a lot of bugs on MIUI and things are gonna get worse. I sold the device when I had the chance, sorry for you.
I don't know why are you guys complaining, you knew about some issues and cosmetic disadvantages but I'm extremely satisfied with the phone. I got none of the problems listed above, for sure it's not Note 9 or OnePlus 6T but those phones are more or less about bragging rights. Just my 2 cents. Don't forget to try unlock Note Snapdragon or Huawei's bootloader
PS: Using Lineage firmware and it's more than I could hope for. :good::good::good:
My only complaint is that the stock software is absolute sh*t and you can't even unlock your own device, you have to ask permission for it, what the hell Xiaomi...
This makes me not recommend the Poco at all. If anyone is in doubt, just go for an OnePlus.

i own oneplus one. since day 1, the Oneplus One was awesome
but to be offended by the unlocking req by xiaomi is just childish
a lot of companies ships their phones with locked bootloader for ecurity purposes
those in china, their biggest supporters; will just use it as it is. so it is their priority
it is the same business strategy as Apple did in the USA
after asking permission to unlock, will have to wait for 72 hours on the bind device to unlock it
this is pretty safe.
MIUI is (if you are referring to it as stock software) quite heavy on the UI but it does comes with a lot of built in features that people (other people, yes) are quite fond off. so yeah, this phone is for everyone, not to deliver for just one person request
just heads on to their website, and request for features. done
well i am not nagging here i am pointing to real problems facing users .. also i am not debating is it worth the 300 $ or not because clearly it is worth it in my opinion .. but mobiles are not just hardware ??!! you cannot release a phone with too much software problems and bugs ??!!
also no consistency in fixing software problems .. you fix one problem 10 more arises ??!!
i just want to know whats is wrong with this company ??!!

well i agree as a starter but to have it replaced you must know the cause of the problem first .. am not gonna keep going and replacing the phone for like 10 times .. so xiaomi needs to address this at first .. it is not me alone who complains of software and hardware issues !!

For hardware issues(screen bleeding), it must be factory defect, so a warranty can replace.
For software issue(latency touch, notifications in notch), the are addressing the issue with their latest MIUI 10 beta 8.11.29
And I think Xiaomi are more focused on their flagship, the MI8.
