Read the original post and back through recent posts in the thread as this is all covered already.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Some people have issues with certain vendor/firmware and others don't.

Looks like it depends on the specific device and (most likely) the LCD panel used.

I had no problems with the latest of everything (my phone manufacture date is Oct 2018) but others were not so lucky.

Probably best to try the latest and if you have problems try the previous one etc.

I have moved to crdroid and I am.now totally confident that lineage have signal.issues which reflects to battery drain as well due to signal and Towers searching

I didnot receive any of these on crdroid

I thought that the signal issue(s?) affected all custom ROMs and just not MIUI?

Wasn't there a theory that custom ROMs were not roaming to stronger signal networks when needed?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bad1080:
it affects every rom without the proper fix/workaround, yes. it is easy to prevent by adding 4 lines of code (well 2 actually since the other two just explain the code) to ignore the signal to noise ratio. miui is not affected/they fixed it.

If you want to customize your phone to a great extent, go for crDroid. It's the best option until someone ports ResurrectionRemix for Pie, which is currently getting baked and is almost ready.

+1 . Am also facing the same issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] greenflash_24:
Hey there,

for this issue there is a workaround.

You can go into developer options to the section "drawing" and there you have to set the Animation duration scale to Animation off.

This will not only speed up your device quite a significant bit (unlocks much faster etc.), but also disables the slip when locking the device while notch is hidden.

(If you are already in developer options, i would suggest you to also set Window animation scale and Transition animation scale to .5x which will speed up your device even more)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GalaxyTroll:
The microsd card issue still isn't completely clear to me. My old (brandless I think) slow af 16gb sdhc card set up as external storage (exFAT) worked fine without issues on my poco f1 using this rom. Then I tried to use a new 64gb sandisk ultra sdxc (the one with 100 read 90 write): immediate bootloop. To solve the problem I tried to reformat the card as exFAT using my windows 10 pc, then I put the card in my old galaxy s5 to configure the card as external storage and then I put in back in the poco. Well it didn't help, the phone still froze and bootlooped. It's pretty much impossible to obtain logs because the phone instantly freezes after unlocking and then reboots. Any ideas what the issue could be? Maybe only certain types of sdcards cause crashes? Or could it be sdhc / sdxc related?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] morckx:
If you are rooted you can try:

adb shell su -c cat /proc/kmsg

while inserting the sdcard, and after a crash reboot (and removing the card so that you don't run into a boot loop):

adb shell su -c cat /proc/last_kmsg

In addition, you could run logcat while inserting the problematic card.

Sure, in good light, in low light it's utter slooow and I'm getting blurry pictures.

Cam firmware needs improvement cause my tissot (Mi A1) does way better shots. At least I hope it's not a hardware issue.

for a €369 phone camera quality is ridiculous.

that one's shot with gcam in broad daylight in the wood and I don't think it's excellent,

do you know of a poco f1 rom that implemented it this way? i'd be happy to try it out!

edit: i had a feeling that it wasnt the proper way to just ignore the rssnr and that's why i described it also as "workaround".

the line you pointed me to reads:

" <boolean name="use_only_rsrp_for_lte_signal_bar_bool" value="true" />"

does it affect the status bar only?

edit 02: i just noticed the file is called "vendor.xml" does that mean it has to be implemented in the vendor.zip and not the rom?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] axolotl98:
Even though a fan of LOS having with it my last 4 Xiaomi devices flashed and operating, I think I am going to wait out on this one. Actually the very presence of LOS is the driver for my Xiaomi purchases....My understanding is that signal reception is THE important functionality in a phone. It is not as if the camera is not working properly or a LED is not operating. Signal reception is important to receive calls and it might also be implicated in increased battery drainage.

I would truly appreciate the developers to actually spend some of their invaluable time just on this issue and update this thread on their intentions.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Yes. Or dirty flashing over an earlier version (just wipe cache/dalvik) will usually work although caveat emptor and read back though the thread for issues that some people have had with this usually caused by specific additional software (e.g. magisk, magisk modules, camera apps etc). There's no OTA update for this ROM right now.

Unfortunately it seems to depend on your device manufacturing date/LCD panel or something but there's no more specific data on this as far as I'm aware.

Yes, there were, but probably my own, so no need to search, thank you... The issue is present in all Aosp roms I've tried, but as of yet no fix is announced by none of the devs, and no idea if it's being worked on at all. I'm sure if any of you try to use AA plugged in to a car you'll see what I mean...

MIUI has fixed it on their Pie update, so I guess whatever they did can maybe be applied here, too? After reading through endless threads, I understood there was an issue with the display drivers and the way they handled the darn notch on the original MIUI builds, but once they released pie, this was tweaked and fixed. AFAIK, this means the problem can only be fixed at Aosp base level, if I'm not mistaken...

If nothing can be done, no problem; I'll have to stick to MIUI even though I really don't like it at all, but it would be great to at least have an update from other users as well, so maybe the devs can find the root of the problem and work to implement the solution, if at all possible...

You can go into developer options to the section "drawing" and there you have to set the Animation duration scale to Animation off.

There is an actuator that punctures the heatpipe and it takes, you guess it, 2.(9) days to do it. And then it just sprays hot steam on the circuits, so that the water damage sticker colors.

So yeah, you will still lose the waranty, even if they say you will not.

If you're lucky. the phone survives (there is a water repellant coating inside) and, get this, the phone will not heat up as much, because of poor thermal transfer. But the SOC.....who knows how much you can pubg after that, i'm not risking it.
