EU on the beat again, first it was ensuring OEM don't bundle their dailers and message apps for breach in Privacy.

Now they are finally ensuring we no longer get charging bricks in boxes.

Oh they also want a common charging port type.
I think the bolded can only fly with flagship devices of which is already taking effect. Mid range to low end devices imo will still ship with charging brick at least for now.

And I don't even see what will make Apple change from the "lightening" usb to type c in the nearest future. A company that has proven "stubborn" to some changes in the past and held it's ground.

I can't send or download any Media on my created Dual Apps, most especially WhatsApp Dual App, can't download pictures or send, can't save stickers, can't set profile picsture. It keeps asking me to grant Permission, which I've already done, but still won't work.. My main WhatsApp isn't like that, just the DUAL App.... Redmi Note 10
I have a theory that the phone can't grant some permission to the same app since both apps are identifical because it happens to my banking apps as well, everything works fine when using the dual app version of the banking app except when I try to save a transaction receipt, it brings this particular error that infers that it can't grant permission to media cuz some other app with same name already has such permission. Leave the Native MiUI native daul app and download any "daul app" app from the playstore if you would notice any different.

Poco M3 just stopped coming up after I tried rebooting the phone. It’s been 4 days now and it still has not come up. I’ve tried different things. Hard reset, hold power and volume button for 13 seconds, open it and disconnect the battery.
It frustrating mhen.

Who has experienced same issue here, and how can I fix it?
If it gets to a week without coming on, take it to a service center.

Some regions have gotten 12.5 based on Android 11. I don't know what your thinking is based on.
I don't think so, the only Anriod 11 update so far for R9T in all region is version 12.0.1.0. 12.5 is still yet to land on the device.

You don't consider that the ones with fault are the ones with mistakes that are unintended. Are the ones that escaped normality. You prefer to say the cup is half empty than say it's half full, only taking it from the negative view
I sincerely can't grasp what you are on about..The bottom line is that, some are defective while some are not...take it which ever way that rocks your boat, positive or negative.

I went to their office this morning, I told The engineer that I have someone that collected his phone within 2weeks and he said the crash affects phone differently, some is crashed board, some its to replace the battery etc then he said mine is board. He said they only got one mother board and have used for the phone before mine.
So I still have to wait till they are supplied more board. Another 2weeks or so
The engineer might be right, alas there's hope, just exercise some patient.

i update mine anytime i get update and no issues i recommended the phone to two other friends after i bought mine and so far they haven't experienced any issue
Think for a second bro...can Xiaomi make an entire line up of R9T that are faulty?..So some of the unit might actually escape the anomaly, so the one you and your friends have are probably among the "lucky ones" but make no mistake, the issues people complain about the device are real.

How Long ago did you drop yours? Did you restart the device at all since you collected?
Dropped it on the 26th of August so this coming Thursday was supposed to make it two weeks, and i restarted it and it came up.

no yet. The service Centre said they are still expecting parts , today makes it 2weeks the phone has been there.
The service centre called me today to come pick up the device that they have fixed it, and for now it seems to be working.

Something that I have updated and restarted several times.
That's why i used the keyword " it hasn't happened to you ". It can't possibly affect all R9T but you still have to take precaution and ignore my advice at your own peril.

That lady the took her Redmi 9t to the care centre made a bit mistake. She should have waited for a week and some days and the phone will turn on again or disconnecting and replacing the battery again. It's a Bug associated with update of below 12.0.10
Because it hasn't happened to you so you have little or no experience about it. It's is 80% a hardware problem, the update just triggers it. People on 12.0.10, 12.0.11 and even 12.0.15 have experienced it. Disconnecting the battery only works for about 3 "deadboot" cycles, after that, disconnecting the battery stops working. The next solution is to blow hot air into the board, even that is a temporary fix too. So the best solution really is to cash in on the Warranty at the Service Center and hope that miraculously Xiaomi supplies them with the parts for a board replacement. That is the only permanent fix for now, waiting for any update to correct this anomaly is a complete waste of time.

PS: i am speaking from a very vast experience on this particular problem, so if you own a R9T or his twin brother Poco M3, i strongly advice against updating except it is absolutely necessary and hope the board of the phone doesn't give in.

Guys help, my mum's POCO M3 didn't turn back on after she powered it off. I've tried pressing volume up/down and power button, nothing works.
This seems to be happening to an awful lot of Poco M3 and Redmi 9t cuz both devices are of the same build. The problem is a combination of a software bug coupled with a hardware failure of the power controller in the board.

The fixes for now are temporary.

The first is to allow the battery drain for about 3 days, plug in the charger, if it displays the empty battery sign, let it charge to like 6% then try to boot it, it should boot.

The 2nd fix is an extreme and if you are not hardware tech savvy, should be carried out by a technician.

The fix is to disassemble the phone and blow hot air into the board using a soldering iron or a hot air blower. This fix might likely void your warranty if done without extreme caution.


If these fixes doesn't work, the board is toast, and you should take it to a SC for a board replacement.

These are questions you should have asked here before dropping the phone.

Get ready to bring out your check book
I wasn't in a particularly chatty mood seen that the phone i bought less than four months ago packed up.

Well fingers crossed moreover i have already "counted my losses" and with great pain i have started saving for a new device.

Is there any other accredited service center apart from "Raya Care"?
I don't really know Chief as this is my first xiaomi device so i have never had the cause to need "Raya Care" before now. I took my faulty Redmi 9t to the place i bought it from and they referred me to "Raya Care", when i got there the guy gave me a form to fill and told me to wait for 14 days and they will call me to pick the device.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Broskyjames: 6:51pm On Aug 26, 2021
How reliable is "Raya Care" guys? Dropped off my faulty phone with them today and they promised i would get it back within 14 working days.

A friend of mine recently bought a redmi 9t..
He swtiched it off but it refused to come back on

Probable cause pls
Was he trying to do an upgrade? He should leave it like that for like 2 days, and power it on after then, it will come up, happened to me over weekend and it seems to be happening to quite a number of Redmi 9t's recently

Take it to a service centre
Thanks Bro for your input yesterday. The situation resolved itself today, i just tried to reboot it today after several attempts, and the "Redmi logo" with the "Powered by android" at the bottom popped up, then it started unpacking and installing the update and after then it rebooted normally and the device seems to be working fine now.

Did you have enough free storage and battery? Those things can also hinder updates I think.
free storage was 78.9gb and battery was at 94% so I don't think it was either of those. I think it's most likely a bug in the update as other users of the device on GA have had similar experiences updating to even previous stable builds like 12.0.9 and 12.0.10. most of them said, they just waited for like 2 days and they powered it on and it came on, that seems to be my only option now.

How many minutes has it been like that?

If it is upto an hour hold down the power button for 15 seconds.

When you switch it back on. Hold Power button and up volume key to go recovery and reboot from there.
it's been been more than an hour now and i tried holding down the power button for 15 secs like you suggested but it's not still coming on.

Thanks for your help so far Bro.
