So, My phone had touch issues I requested return from Flipkart, just like how novice these companies are they send useless engineers to test your phones:
i. I showed how bad the accuracy of the multitouch is, I need pixel-pixel precision but my unit didn't have it, it skips a lot of pixels and aiming in games is not accurate and many apps that use multitouch is behaving abnormally.
ii. Engineer didn't see this issue and said it's normal because he don't know how to play games like these, he was not an engineer but a mediater, he was taking orders instead of making his mind about the issue.
iii.While showing it to him, suddenly the phone got heated up and strange and loud static like sound was coming out of it.
iv. I had to make 2 videos to show them the problem and had to talk with them on the phone, at first they said that 3rd party apps always have issues I mean, all apps are verified by Google and million of players are playing pubg without any issue, why just me? Then I showed them other phones in the same or less price range MiA1, Honor 8, etc they all have weaker chipset but are very accurate to touch, he told me that please don't compare with other brands, he doesn't even know that MiA1 and Poco comes from same parent company.
After convincing him a lot and making videos in front of him, he at last acknowledged the issue and approved the replacement.
it's just your device i think. i know 7 poco f1 6/64 users. all are happy with it.
Update: yes issue is there but fix is very simple no need to panic see this
I did not face any problem playing pubg

Me too faced the issue of loud static noise from speaker and requested for replacement. Hope the new unit will be ok. As far as multi touch issue is concerned, I read its a software issue and will be fixed an update.
Yes, there is a issue with 3 finger screenshot, which is causing issues

Afternoon folks.
I'm currently on the fence with the N9, and I may have an opportunity to buy a brand new 16GB for only £130-ish.
However, even at that price I'm not willing to forgive the many sins I'm reading about on here, light bleed, getting extremely hot and not being able to have more than 1 Chrome tab open are deal breakers for me.
I know these problems exist but, to my surprise, this doesn't seem to be a very popular forum compared to the N7 (2013) which is my current tablet (was the N9 a bit of a flop or do people just not develop for it on here??) and I wanted to check if there have been any kind of hardware revisions or software improvements that have made the N9 a great device to use, as it should have been from day one.
So yea, even now a year later, are these problems I'm reading about on here widespread?? If not is there a light at the end of the tunnel or should I just avoid?
Thanks

I don't believe there have been any hardware improvements.
You might want to check this thread and this thread as well and read about various folks' experiences. You might also wait a few weeks and check back after Android 6 is rolled out (though I think the consensus among folks running the previews is that it is not much different).
I think the bottom line is that some people are very happy with the N9 and others are very unhappy with it. Some issues, the chrome tab one in particular, seem universal unless you modify your device. Others, like overheating and light bleed, appear to be either luck of the draw or situation-dependent. (I have had neither of those problems -- I had overheating due to a misbehaving app but the app was updated and I never had the issue again.)

Obviously everyone has a different experience but I would just like to share that my N9 was perfectly fine. No light bleed issues, doesn't get extremely hot (although it does warm a little after heavy usage but I wouldn't call it "hot") and I frequently have multiple Chrome tabs open (in fact I haven't even heard of this issue until now). So I don't doubt some people are having these issues, but I don't think they are as common as you may think because people without problems generally don't say anything.

I can't speak about the difference in popularity of the forums but rooting and flashing roms was fun when I got my first Android device but now I'm happy to have something that "just works" so I don't frequent the forums as much. I don't believe there has been any revisions that changed the hardware.
In the end, I like my N9 but it is obsolete now.

Obsolete?
What would you say is better? When I checked the other day it was 4th in the list of highest benchmarking android devices.
If you can wait one or two more months, and the price of a new tablet is OK for you, then you might want to wait and see how the Pixel C is doing in the tests.

Google just announced Pixel C three days ago. While it may not be an obvious successor to Nexus 9 (perhaps the last Nexus tablet?), it is the most current tablet from Google. Nexus 9 has also been out for about a year, the same amount of time the two previous Nexus tablets were released before they were replaced.

Hi, djbenny1...
I've generally avoided answering such questions in the past, partially because the answer is going to be hugely subjective, and partially because it also depends on what your expectations of the device are. If you plan on playing lots of graphic, GPU intensive, high octane video games on it, I would be inclined to look elsewhere for another device.
And it also depends on what you're prepared to pay for it...
At £130 this represents a significant reduction in price, from the original £319 (for the 16Gb model) and £399 (for the 32Gb model) price points, when the Nexus 9 was announced in the Autumn of last year (2014). A quick Google search reveals that the 16Gb model currently retails for around £250, give or take a few quid.
Leaving aside the dull, uninspiring appearance of the Nexus 9, and the reported hardware problems - the flexi-back, the lightbleed issues, (I never had those issues with my Nexus 9, and I've no idea if HTC made changes to the production process to remedy these problems.), but I would be surprised if they haven't, given how widespread those reports where.
...but leaving aside those issues, the problem with the Nexus 9, IMHO, is it tried to do too many things, too quickly...
-----
** Implement the new Android RunTime (ART), replacing the old Dalvik runtime, as part of Lollipop. (And compounded further by a memory leak in the initial release version of Lollipop).
** Along with the Nexus 6 smartphone, it was one of the first devices to run Android on a 64bit platform.
** Run Android encrypted (ie, the data partition) by default. Seamless, on-the-fly, encryption, surely has to have some resource penalty (CPU cycles, etc.), resulting in impaired performance - (See my comments later about encryption.)
-----
All of these elements introduce a multiplicity of 'difficult-to-quantify' variables, whose aggregated deficits cannot be easily foreseen. And introduced together, on one device, and at the same time, seems to me to have been not the best idea from Google. There's certainly no doubting Googles audacity with the Nexus 9, introducing these features, but they did too much, too quickly.
I don't pretend to be either a software or a hardware expert, but everything I know about designing new devices and developing software, suggests that a slower process of design, implementation, testing, and feedback is better in the long run. A slower process of iteration...
...rolling out a new feature on a new device - see how it works in the real world. And then later, add-in a second feature, and see how that works out. Maybe wait for the next device release, before adding in a third feature, and so on and so forth. To quote the old aphorism, "Rome wasn't built in a Day", so why did Google attempt to (metaphorically) do so with the Nexus 9 ??
-----
For my own part, I'm pretty happy with my Nexus 9 .
I'm currently running it with the 3rd Android M developer preview installed, it's rooted, and as a requirement of acquiring root, it's also unencrypted.
And running it without encryption, made a **BIG** difference to my Nexus 9. See my post here from June of this year, and the benchmark results I obtained with AnTuTu as a result of decrypting it.
With regard to the oft reported problem of Chrome reloading tabs... yes, it does do this, but I can't say this is a major problem for me.
I've spent the past few hours drafting and submitting posts on XDA, preparing and sending several emails via MailDroid, and all the while, frequently dipping in and out of Chrome to do some fact checking, and with something like around 20 tabs open. Yes, they do reload (but not every time), but it takes no more than a few seconds. Maybe again, this has something to do with my device not being encrypted. I should also add here, I tend to run Greenify rather aggressively (as I do on all my Android devices), hibernating all the apps I have installed that I can realistically get away with. Obviously I don't hibernate things like widgets, or apps which set alarms, or depend on push notifications... but this leaves more RAM for the 3 or 4 apps I do use on a frequent basis.
-----
So... My Nexus 9 does what I need it to do, which is primarily web browsing via Chrome, email via MailDroid, and posting here on XDA, via a combination of the XDA Premium 4 app and Chrome.
I'm not a big video game player, but I've been known to occasionally indulge in a game of chess, with Shredder Chess, or a game of Sudoku with Andoku 2. The most graphics intensive games I play on it are Temple Run: Oz and Subway Surfers. Both games run without problem. And I can't say my Nexus 9 gets particularly hot... A little warm, yes... but hot - no.
-----
So, should you buy one for £130...??
I would say, if you're prepared to tinker with it a little (Unlock the bootloader, flash ElementalX kernel for decryption purposes), then I think there are worse ways of spending £130.
Another way of looking at it is, what alternative devices are available for £130? What specifications do they have? RAM, CPU, version of Android? Likelihood of further updates to Android? If you want to tinker with it, how easy or difficult is to root or unlock the bootloader?
Would I buy one today for £130?
Yes, I would (if I didn't already have one).
The benefit of hindsight is a wonderful thing - a phrase often used with negative connotations, but I use it here positively. Knowing what I know about it now, and having had it for nearly a year, and how to get the best out of it, I would have no hesitation about buying one for that kind of money... .
-----
Right, I can't think of anything else to add. Which is probably a good thing... I've rambled on far too long as it is .
I don't know if I've clarified a few things for you or muddied the waters further. I hope it's the former .
Anyway, good luck, with whatever you decide.
Kind Rgrds,
Ged.
I was sitting on the fence on whether or not to get the N9 what tipped my hand into buying one was Argos dropping the price down to £179 and I'm very please with it so far. I've got slight screen bleed at the top but this is only noticeble on dark screens.

Yes, the Argos price was too tempting for me also.
I also have a touch of lightbleed which I wouldn't put up with if I'd paid £300. Compared to the Nexus 7 (2013) I think the screen isn't quite as good. The black levels aren't as low but the screen can go a touch brighter.
When you get over the screen however, the speed and small things like always on google now, (even when the screen isn't,) make the tablet worth it.
At £179 I'm happy, at £300 I wouldn't be, at £130, I'd deffo take the chance.
So after switching to Android I have experienced my first big fail with the OS. Still love it compared to iOS but I'm bummed.
I like to record bands, usually with my Sony handycam, as I am usually further away and utilise the zoom.
This is great but there is the risk of getting busted as that kind of device can be frowned upon, while nobody gives a crap about phones.
I once forgot my camera so I used my iPhone too successfully record a one hour show. Small club and I was easily at the front. No big deal I thought.
Since moving to Android I didn't do that again until recently, though I did film a few songs of my friends band on my S7E Edge and it turned out great.
So I went to another small show and decided to use my phone up close, rather than risk being asked to put away my camera.
Filming the second band I looked down as my phone was saying something about a size limit and I was like, wtf, I've got lots of space for this very purpose.
Then I saw that it kept on recording and for this set it would do it again as they played almost 110 minutes.
Checking it out later I see the split files, which I can put back together, but there is a gap each time. This is not ideal and initially I thought I had formatted my card wrong, but no, it was exfat and could handle big files.
I did some searching and found the limit used to be 2GB, and the app would stop recording, so at least the camera app kept going or the gap would have been worse as I wasn't expecting it, and quite possibly I may not have noticed at all the first time that it was no longer recording and missed the second half of that band.
I find it hard to believe it's 2017 and this limit is imposed by Android, as iOS does not have it.
I've rooted and used custom roms before, and I love them except for the camera. I demand a great one with my phone for all situations so my S7 is unrooted and stock.
I've read that open camera is a solution, but it seems to automatically start a new file, like my stock app does, so it's not really any better, and probably isn't as good at taking the video.
Is there any hope for this?
It's strange that I feel I don't have most of the discussed problems in this forum. But let me tell you my reasons, why I decided to return the Poco F1.
1. Buggy microphone: the hands free mode has huge problems. There seems to be an unfixed problem with the internal microphones which makes it impossible to have understandable conversations in hands free mode (Skype, WhatsApp). This problem also occurs in the internal voice recording app in interview mode. This probably will be fixed in future versions, but as by now (9.6.14.0, European version) it just doesn't work and I need that function almost every day.
2. The MicroSD slot doesn't help much if I can't allocate the card to the internal drive. I have an ultra fast U3 SanDisk extreme card with 128 GB, but I can't merge it with the internal drive. Some would say: who cares? Just use it as an external card, whats the point? But just think of losing your phone and someone else has access to all your data on the memory card. Allocating the MicroSD to the internal drive encrypts everything on the card. I do understand the arguments of the manufacturer (speed issues because of fricking slow crappy sd cards), but I don't understand, why they won't leave that function open to experienced users (e.g. within the developers menu).
3. Can't get rid of Google Apps. I don't need and want certain Google Apps, but I can't disable them. I am not even asking for uninstalling, I just want to disable them, but Xiaomi won't let me. It just feels that I don't have control over the phone.
4. The rounded corners are strange: when watching a video you have one side with rounded corners, the other one with, well, normal corners.
5. The task switcher is a step backwards. I was used to switch between apps very quickly using the vertical task switcher. The task switcher on the Poco F1 works horizontally. Seriously? Phones are becoming longer and longer, not wider. I need much more time to switch between apps because I simply don't have a good overview of the open apps.
6. No HD-Streaming on Netflix and Prime.
7. Bad frequency coverage. Check the specs and compare them to your former phone (I used phonearena). I was shocked when I saw that the Poco F1 has really bad coverage of the available frequencies. I travel to Hong Kong and Japan a couple times a year and use local SIM cards. But looking at the very few supported frequencies, I am afraid I won't have a good reception anymore.
Remark: I have had the Poco F1 for about a week and will return it to the shop. I had a Moto G5 Plus before and will switch back to it again. I am aware of that certain points might not be bugging for some people. I consider myself as an experienced user which some major requirements about functions of a smartphone. If a phone doesn't match most of these requirements, I consider it as crap. This has nothing to do with the manufacturer. Ah, and I don't like custom roms. I went through that stuff so many years and spend so many weekends on that. I am not willing to spend my leisure time anymore trying out new roms because something is always not working well.

Most of the stuff you mentioned are related to MIUI and can be fixed by flashing a stock rom ( custom) which will be available soon. For notch, you've to deal with it as most of the upcoming phones including Moto One includes Notch. Give credit to Apple for this stupid notch. I'm used to it as my main phone is iPhone X so I've been using notch phone from a long time now. Yes, rounded corners on one side sucks.
No hd streaming is still in que to be fixed by Xiaomi. Though I've no idea why people complain about it, I can't really tell difference between the quality what it streams on Amazon Prime and Netflix without HD. May be I'm used to watching videos on iPad so can't tell the difference on small screen.
Coverage is excellent here with this ph. I used to get less than 1mbps with Redmi Note 5 Pro and now I easily get 10-12mbps on 4G.
I don't use microsd card, remind me this is 2018 na? People still use microsd when OEMs offer 128/256gb phs. I've purchased Poco 128GB may be that's why I never thought this ph supports microsd.
No buggy microphone here. May be it's issue with your phone.
Since you're not into custom roms, get One Plus 6 or upcoming 6T. I bet you'll still find reasons to complain about that phone too. That's just human nature. Everybody wants top end hardware by spending less money, nobody realise when you pay less for such hardware you're going to get compromise somewhere be it notch, hd streaming, touch issues, camera etc. No phone is perfect not even the iPhone X.
Good luck with the return.

No the main drive, but merged with the main drive. My Moto G5 Plus allows that. It is, as far as I understood, a normal function of Android (since 6.0?) but can be disabled by the manufacturer.

I see, this option goes way back then android 6 ,where micro SD card can be the main ,didn't know it's a android feature to merge storage
Sorry but way to much crying about this phone everywhere.
What do u expect for 300 euro in this price range and with those spec u don't find a phone with widevine.
I come from Oneplus and now I know why are people always laughing about the Xiaomi community always complaining.
Maybe it is the price range.. I don't know.
It is not a offensive post to u personally, but everywhere I look there are complains.
Good luck with the return.
Thank you for your feedback. I understand, that people might think that complaining about a 300 USD phone is exaggerated, but on the other side there's also kind of a hype about that phone, so I thought I just let people know what my expectation were and how I feel about the phone.
I intentionally didn't mention the positive things about the phone (and there, fur sure, are good ones). I believe it isn't a bad phone at all. It just doesn't suit my very specific expecations well.
My focus was set on some key features I thought some other people would also want to know about, so this hopefully help them to decide whether to buy the phone or not.
@FTPFreezer, surprised to read a few points in your post - perhaps most surprised when I came to read that you are shifting back to a G5+. I moved from a G5, a bit slower than your phone, granted, but when I came to shift some files from my G5 earlier today after a week with the F1 I was stunned by how sluggish it was. Really, there's no comparison.
Adoptable storage has been a pain in the ass rather than a boon - mine has not failed in the way many G5 users have experienced, but getting data off the card to switch phones is misery. The F1 camera is worlds better. There's no comparison in terms of build quality, the G5 feeling like a toy. Until today I never realised the G5 screen is as poor as it is. Battery life is obviously incomparable.
Miui is not to my taste, but Rootless pixel launcher makes it tolerableme features done nicely. I'll still probably move to a custom ROM, but likely not if it means losing the face unlock.
Face unlock - reminds me how shockingly poor the G5 fingerprint reader is; the Pocophone is bang on every time.
Good luck with the switch back, but I really don't appreciate your reasoning.

Have you tried this by yourself or do you just contribute something without knowledge? This is simply not possible on the Poco F1. You can just uninstall all updates, but you are not able to deactivate the app.

Then it could be a region related issue. My region is set to HK (because otherwise face unlock isn't possible in Germany). It definately doesn't work like you said. But anyways, I gonna return the phone today, so it doesn't matter much anymore. I'll just keep the G5 Plus for some while.

Why do you say this? Which of my points are related to a higher price? The only one I could think of is the frequency coverage, but other thread in this forum suggest, that Xiaomi might just block them by software.

A more expensive phone is more likely to match those major requirements of yours, that's all.
@FTPFreezer thank you for your review. I, for one, enjoyed your critique of the product. It's these kinds of review I like to search for before buying a product.
Only the Google Apps thing worries me, personally. I will still be getting the poco phone.
1. Buggy microphone
can't verify that, mine is good
2. The MicroSD slot doesn't help much if I can't allocate the card to the internal drive
why would you want to do that? if you have to format data even everything on SDcard is gone, UFS is anyway much faster
3. Can't get rid of Google Apps
yes, you can - just use a custom ROM
4. The rounded corners are strange
I have to admit the corners are big but I'm not playing games, so I can live with it
5. The task switcher is a step backwards
not an issues on custom ROM
6. No HD-Streaming on Netflix and Prime
for what? do you really see a difference at a 6.2" panel? regarding bandwith L3 is enough for me
7. Bad frequency coverage
can't verify that, works good here in austria
I can't help but laugh. This is a 300 hundred dollar phone. This is not the S9+ even though the Poco is faster.
I installed the SD before setting my F1. During setup of Miui 10, it asked me if I wanted to use it for app storage or just as portable storage.
If you were rooted, you could get rid of any app you want. Not sure why this is even an issue. All OEM's stop you from removing apps bundled like Google Duo, play movies etc.
There are hacked versions of Netflix out there that let you play ultra HD shows. The problem is on a 6" screen, not sure what the big deal is.
I get no 4g here in the US on T-Mobile but I've had no issues with sound quality whatsoever.
Sounds to me like a nice S9+ is what u want. Heck, it's only 600 dollars more
Let me say it again, this is an amazing phone for 300 bucks. People will always find negative things to say about any phone.
Hello there participants and dev, I would like to ask some questions that I need to clarify since I am also using Pocophone f1.
So, while I was playing game emulator like FPSE or PPSSPP, I notice that the touch sensor seems to be weird. I mean I don't know if it is ghost touch or not. However, when I try to tap multiple times the button (Similar to mashing), sometimes some taps dont get response. It also sometimes that the touch was a bit laggy milliseconds. An experiment that I also try in Nokia 8 which the issue is not Happening in Nokia 8.
The games that can be clearly seen mostly is Tekken 3 in FPSE emulator (Although I also find this issue in PPSSPP playing GOW). Do note that I am using Jelly type screen protector and Stock casing that comes with the package product. As for Nokia 8, it is using Tempered Glass and quite a hard casing but is good for gripping when playing.
So, here's my questions:
1. Can the Jelly type screen protector affect the unresponsive or laggy response touch?
2. Is this a ghost touch that everyone was referring to when they have this phone?
3. Can I consider MIUI ROM is the main factor that causes this?
4. Flashing custom ROM like RR, Pixel Experience, LineageOS, will it solve the ghost touch or this issue? (This is because I noticed several comments in ROM Development mentioning that Ghost touch is not there).
Note: If participants haven't had the slightest idea what i mean, you may try playing games in FPSE or PPSSPP. It can be same games I am playing or not. I want to know if I am the only person who has this issue or not. I would like to solve this. Thank you.

I don't have a solution for you but If you wish to see if you have issues with touch try this app, are several youtube vids that show the issue on poco f1. Xiaomi have stated that they will fix it in future updates so according to xiaomi it's a system/software issue. Only time will tell if it's true or not.

OKay, no problem. To be honest, there is a ghost touch when testing your app recommendation. Omg, is it supposed to be related with the laggy touch?

1 No the screen protector should not impact much because we have a very sensitive responsive digitiser which could get annoying at times.
2 No this is not ghost touch issue but yeah we do have this issue.
3Miui ROM is not responsible for this latency problem we the touch driver /firmware is simply "buggy". So doesn't matter which ROM you use you will find this issue. Note: this is not linked with the very common "multi-touch" issue which came with 8.1 Oreo update.
4 Flashing custom ROMs should "generally" fix the Multi-touch bug but I have tried all the GSI ROMs and the latest device specific ROMs available for beryllium but none had the fix by default and I also made a flashale magisk module if you want to fix the 8.1 Oreo Multi-touch issue (this is not the latency issue which your experiencing).
Finally id like to say relating touch Poco has quite listed issues which should be the companies primary priority to fix it because that's the fist level of communication user has with the device. Another thing we have very few "actual" developers who can help fix this issues apart from vendor side.
(Edit: you might find slot of typing mistake because I have used POCO to reply. See the irony of post lol)

Thank you for answering my questions. Have you tested like what I did? Playing games in FPSE? I know you must have felt what I felt. The latency or whatever lagging response or sometimes unresponsive button in mashing section.
You may provide me whatever solutions or fix modules you have. I am glad to try it
I dont play FPS or PUBG in phone so It is not a problem actually. It is just playing in fpse or emulator does annoy me sometimes.
I come here to ask for help because I don't know what else to do. I tried all possible settings in order to decrease the delay / lag of the touch in games but unfortunately I was not able to solve the problem. I say this because I left behind an old xiaomi device, very old even an rn3(he was perfect but unfortunately he was 4 years old and had major problems with burn and battery addiction so for this reason i decided to change) that was serving me well for games and everyday things, his response was quick despite having much lower specifications of the pocophone f1. I'm not really able to play any games because of this delay and for me, I like to play moba and fps games, it really hindered the use of the cell phone because the touch response is much lower. Previously I thought it was a problem on the touch screen and if that is the problem I can make the switch. can any user of pocophone f1 games that needs a quick response from the touch screen
say what should i do?
I like to play PUBG, MOBILE LEGENDS, CHAMPIONS LEGION
I am using the latest MIUI and also the kernel.
my touch is nvt.
