Anyone else having issues with Poco X3 volume control. If I'm casting something I cant then adjust the volume control of the apps that are on screen and yet the casting bar isn't showing in the notification window. I can't seem to control anything individually. Tried to use app volume control pro but it wouldn't even start.

Hello all,
Wanting an upgrade for my older Rednote 5 Pro, I also have a Poco F2 Pro so I don't mind similar size and weight to that etc
So far been looking at Mi 10 Lite and Redmi Note 10 Pro...
Any other recommendations in the £250-£300 range? cheers

Going from a F2 there's nothing thats a real upgrade. Think I'll wait it out for the F4 as this F2 I have is still pretty good.

Another Poco f2 pro user and apart from higher refresh rate screens which I personally don't see the need for even though both my laptop and desktop have 240hz screens I don't see any compelling reasons to upgrade for a long time.
I dare say thanks to the pop up camera this screen just feels perfect because of no notches or bezels.
I just convinced the father in law to get a Poco X3 and I reckon these guys will be now the go to in future.
I usually upgrade every 6-9 months as I get bored bit this is the first time I'm thinking of sticking for a few years.

My wife dropped and smashed her pixel 3A recently. Still had 10 months to go in her contract so decided to pick her up something cheap.
Went for a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T for £138.
Must say, for the low price, it's a cracking phone. Well built, 1080p screen (others I was looking at had 720p), Stereo speakers, 5G and a SOC that provides performance well beyond it's price tag.
I was concerned about MIUI but once you remove the pre-installed apps, its perfectly fine.
Wife is a bit of a technophobe, so was concerned about moving from pure Android usage to MIUI. No complaints so far from her.

The adb method really makes it easy to remove bloat apps. Samsung needs the same method.
Is there a site you used that shows you how to do this and which apps are ok to remove?

Actually, the one annoying thing with the Redmi Note 9T is the auto brightness in low level light. It dims the screen to the lowest level and you end up having to adjust it with the manual slider.
Other that turning auto brightness off and setting it to a permanent level, is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

Hi mate,
How are you getting on with the phone now?
I've just ordered one from Amazon for £299 (price just dropped tonight) and hoping it's a really nice phone?

You know when you regret asking a question
Did you buy direct? I assume you bought the blue or white model as they currently only have the black in stock.

Yes it was bought from Xiaomi UK a white 256gb model.Nightmare dealing with them they just try and stall but they have no stock.
Tried to get me to take a black one but stuck to my guns and getting a refund.

My phone arrived today from Amazon, I chose the black one but it's more like a gun metal silver, looks really nice
This thing is a real beast, up there with the OnePlus 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra I've just sent back and costs a lot less (£299), so far I'm really happy with it, oh and the battery is immensely better!
