OK, so I managed to download it again and install it. A few comments:

1. Generally smooth, not laggy. With MIUI launcher, Once in a while an occasional slight stutter with the animation when closing an app. Poco behaves as before the update

2. 2.4 Ghz wi-fi still slows down significantly when BT is on. Some here have commented that this is not a bug.

3. Camera seems significantly better with more detail, especially in low light-- less noise, less pastel like oversharpening, brighter.

4. Battery & Performance screen-- back arrow randomly does not work

5. I was using Poco Launcher. When I switched to MIUI launcher and enabled full screen gestures-- none of the gestures worked, and I was stuck until I rebooted.

6. Floating windows seems to work as expected.

7. No lag in starting up apps

8. promoted apps appear in one of the app folders even though personalization is turned off.

9. Sometimes Chrome misbehaves, randomly

10. notification/control center is fine. You can't customize (as far as I can tell) which controls show up as a big rectangle.

Overall I don't regret updating. In any case in essence you can "roll back" by turning off the new Control Center and using Poco Launcher, which makes the phone behave as before

Hello,

I didn't got the OTA, i'm on 11.0.5.0(QGGMIXM)

I I tried to download this miui_BEGONIA_20.8.5_c76b359cb5_10.0.zip and select it with manual update, but I got an error like"you're are not allowed to flash newest develop version published by MIUI forum from stable version only"

Any advice? :victory:
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] beachfl:
That is a Closed Beta version, and can only be installed by people who have Xiaomi authorization. You won't be able to install it. Either wait for the OTA, or download and install the whole official factory image from recovery.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Try from here, this worked for me:

http://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.2.0....QGGMIXM-V12.0.2.0.QGGMIXM-593ce7bae8-10.0.zip
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Another minor issue (not a bug) is that the battery section in settings, while aesthetically pleasing, is missing useful information. You can't get a simple figure for time used or screen use since the last charge. It resets for each day, and standby time and "active time" are shown separately. Not a terrible problem, you can get it from apps

Assuming your bootloader is still locked, since this is an official release, OTA should be no problem...

Miui 12 Global version experience

1_ Animations stuttering , not smooth as it was before on miui 11

2_ dark mode on status bar in some cases don't show the right color " shows dark with some dark contents " that's make it hard to see the clock and wifi signal and battery percentage etc

3_ overall performance still fast but lost smoothness as i mentioned before

4_ control center is ok but it's not perfect yet

5_ new Animations here and there " example : rotate screen animation has been added , apps closing animations has ben changed "

6_ battery almost same as miui 11

7_ no big difference between miui 11 & miui 12 on this device

Forgot to mention that dark mode now added useful option to force third party Apps to dark mode

Note : of course did factory reset after update
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Yes, I also have noticed a very slight stutter sometimes when closing an app. I notice it but it doesn't bother me because it doesn't really slow anything down.

Also, occasionally the back arrow does not work on various settings screens

Upgrade from Indonesia rom to global rom without wipe

Is it okay if i directly flash miui 12 global

From miui 11 Indonesian ROM?

Without root, without twrp, without clean/wipe data

Just download recovery rom and update manual via miui official recoveey
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
BTW I noticed that the slight animation stutter occurs only when using the full screen gestures. When set to use the navigation buttons it works completely smoothly.

My guess is that this has to do with the algorithm which has to distinguish between the simple swipe up-close gesture and the slide and hold-multitask, it's waiting to see if your finger is lifting or not. When I watch it closely, the "stutter" is actually a very slight pause in the "zoom out" animation, which either has to proceed as a multitask window or close, depending on whether your finger lifts or not. When your finger lifts it proceeds as a close, which is not a smooth continuation as the multitask animation.

With the nav buttons this ambiguity does not exist.

I suppose they'll find a way to smooth it out
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AHMED__HASSAN:
Actually i do have stuttering animations with navigation keys on , but it's completely fixed with adw launcher 2 , now everything is smooth and fast

MIUI QGGMIXM or MIUI QGGINXM

What happens if I manually install v12 of MIUI QGGMIXM instead of v12 MIUI QGGINXM?

My RN8P is said to be Global, but it seems to be Indian instead. The actual MIUI version is V11.0.4.0 (QGGINXM) not V11.0.4.0 (QGGMIXM). I really don't understand why it is not clear about the real version of my phone. I bought it because it said it was global with bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28 active for 4G LTE, but the only bands active for 4G LTE are B1/B3/B5/B8/B40/B41 . I need B4 active and it is not. Please, help me with this issue!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
I don't know what magic Xiaomi used, but with the MIUI 12 camera, the photos are markedly improved, with no sacrifice at all in speed of response.

Perhaps they improved their processing algorithms, particularly in indoor lighting situations, where the results are quite good. I did find the indoor shots to occasionally be mildly underexposed, which was easily corrected in Google Photos. This is indoor kitchen lighting situation, NO FLASH:

This is really a HUGE improvement
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] anguslaw:
Yes, miui 12 is really cool.

Did you use gcam? I dont know which version is better.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
I have tried GCAM (perhaps not the latest iteration), but it never works quite right, with lag, trouble using all the cameras, poor color, etc.

I also used it in my previous phone (LG G6) so I am familiar with it.

Perhaps if I tinkered with the settings and configuration enough it would be better

But with results like above with the built in app there's simply no point.

It'r really quite remarkable the improvement they obtained just with software, using the same mid level sensor.

Of course in low light the ISO is cranked up and so is the noise but it is well controlled, the detail is preserved without over-sharpening

The flash shots are also much better than before.

It's kind of strange that I'm not seeing other reports on this, like Youtube videos, etc, and in the release notes Xiaomi doesn't even mention the camera app at all

is necessary to wipe after update?

if yes can i use backup my app. in backup & reset section? local backup?

because i need my app and data
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] anguslaw:
I don't think you need wipe, just reboot.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Only when issues occur a reboot is advised.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
I noticed another bug. In the camera app, the buttons (including the shutter) at times suddenly freeze. The viewfinder remain live, but it's unresponsive to any touch command. Then suddenly it becomes responsive again.

This occurs randomly-- which is annoying since it can't be anticipated, the minute you want to catch a quick photo.

Anybody else notice?

How many % your smartphone drain in 10 minutes? Can u make a test only surfing the net on a browser like MIUI or chrome? Tnx
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
1% or less
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Also, remember that the battery usage stats in the Battery and Performance section do NOT reflect usage since the last charge, but rather from the LAST DAY-- which ever is more recent. So for instance on your second day usage from a full charge, the battery graph will begin at 50% or so, not from when you charged it.

Don't know why Xiaomi did this.

But overall I am getting about 2 days on a charge, of moderate usage (3-4 SOT on each of the 2 days)

I seem to be able to overcome it by repeatedly tapping the top settings (hamburger) menu, then the shutter becomes responsive.

The update to MIUI 12 seems to be ok overall but will see when I get to use it more.

One thing that I find annoying, but can't seem to find a way of disabling it, is the home screen icons animation when you unlock the phone.

I find it too fast and assaulting to they eyes :)

I tried turning off all the animation options in Developer Options but it had no effect on it.

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable this particular animation or even all animations?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] parkourz:
Question is: are you talking about surfing the net while using wifi or mobile data? Because (as I understand that matter myself) while on wifi, you are rather close to the transmitter and while using mobile data you can be far from it... And the bigger the distance from the transmitter, phone seeks for better signal more intensively which leads to higher battery consumption...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

I finally talked myself into install any update that came after 11.0.3.0P... After first evening and night with 12.0.1.0.Q... all I can say is that everything works smoother, no problem with animations, lags or overheating... Battery life seems similar to 11.0.3.0.P..., but I will observe it for longer than a night

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hathomer:

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] parkourz:
I can say that mobile data drains battery more than wifi, so it's normal that % drops faster while surfing the net... Additionally, for twitter, facebook, mailing etc I don't use any apps, just browser

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
I think that the problem of sporadic battery drainage of unknown cause is like losing single socks in the laundry. Its just one of those mysteries that everybody knows about but can't explain :)

In just about every forum I have been part of, for every phone, there are threads just like this. You could cut and paste, they read the same. The occasional user reports excess battery drain after some update, and everybody else tells him no, there's no problem. LG, Samsung, Google, etc. Complaints everywhere. And there are solutions galore, most of which don't work.

Other than the usual common sense things, like keeping things updated, removing unnecessary apps especially messengers, and resetting the phone, etc, unfortunately there is nothing that consistently works and there is nothing really to do about it but live with it or get another phone.

In a pinch if you're running low and you need your phone for an emergency, you can turn off data, that saves a lot of juice.
