Means you'll no longer be able to control the phone remotely.

Fremlin:
My Poco F6 still never get the new update

Pious101:
My redmi 13c has been going off automatically. it would boot get to the MI logo then restart again without coming up. but if i plug power bank or charge it i can use. The phone is well charged and just developed this issue yesterday. i have barely use this phone up to a year

stephinnoyewole:
But would that fulfil my goal?

genius43:
Have other Poco F6 users gotten? This one you are saying my Poco F6

Fremlin:
I no dy follow other people use their own boss

Gptech:
Now I understand what you want. In summary, you want to use the stolen phone as a bait to catch the thief right?
You cannot logout your mi account from the device remotely. Assuming lost mode was enabled and you didn't turn on screen lock (either by password or fingerprint), then your best bet would have been to just retrieve your sim(s) and allow the thief to use the phone. That way it would be easy to achieve what you want. But even at that, if anyone makes an attempt to flash the phone or even do a factory reset, the phone will be locked and will be difficult to track too.

genius43:
What I am saying is you could have asked a general question like "Has anyone using Poco F6 here gotten HyperOS 3?" Then you can now ascertain if your device is the odd one when responses come in.

Anyway HyperOS 3 for Poco F6 is still on Beta testing. My expectations is January since December wasn't possible

Mrluv:
all this mi account and anti theft app are rubbish i think producer of phone should create an app even if the thief flash the phone the mi account should be still active that locking of a thing should be optional allow the thief use the phone and immediately another sim is insert on the phone let the number be sent to your email and very password of the thief social account it would go a long way to solve phone thief

Gptech:
Assuming the thief is not wise as to use the phone like that and you still have the carton of your phone ( for the imei number) then the police can use that to track the phone.

Gptech:
Everything you said is exactly how it works except the social media account part. If your bootloader is not unlocked it is practically impossible to even flash the phone. By the way, I don't think many phone thieves these days are dumb, they know about tracking and all, in fact, thieves are seeing what we post here too, so they are careful.

December 2023 my phone was stolen, it was a miracle we found the thief the next day because someone saw him running out like a thief from the premises the previous day. The thief in question was around 16 years old then and didn't look very sharp in my eyes. But was shocked me was, in less than 24 hours he was in possession of the phone, he already deleted all my media files and replaced them with his. He also ensured all apps and settings were locked. All these was possible because I didn't bother using any lock feature on my phone, I only enabled find my device from my Mi account. The plan was if anybody steals the phone, he/she won't need to flash the phone to use it, just delete my files and move on. That was, I can even allow the person to use the phone for like a week before tracking him or her down.
To my amazement, the plan worked, the thief did not flash the phone, he just deleted by files but he was smart enough to ensure that he didn't use the phone with any sim or with any connectivity to the internet. He later confessed that he was planning to sell off the phone as scrap. Nowadays, many times, stolen phones are torn apart and the parts sold off to avoid any form of tracking.

Mrluv:
That is what i am saying after flashing the phone mi account would lock the phone make it impossible for thief to use if the thief could not use the phone there is no way the phone can be track that is why i said that option should be remove and even after flashing your mi account should still be active

stephinnoyewole:
I have the IMEI, not carton though
Meanwhile, I am sure the phone is inaccessible yet, I just want to be sure if deleting it from my Mi account would make it accessible

I just bought a Redmi A5 and it's been telling me my device is outdated, there's a software update push presently though,any advice on this please?

Good evening everyone, between Poco M7 and Redmi note 14, please which one is advisable to buy?

Hello guys, I'm having issues with my Redmi note 10 pro. First my Edifier tws 1 pro would connect to the phone and after a few seconds the audio will go mute while still connected. I connected the earbud to another phone and everything was okay. I then switched to wired earpiece. 2 days ago I used my phone without any issues only to wake up and discovered that phone is not bringing out audio. My Dolby Atmos that's usually turned off was turned and all attempts to turn it off is abortive. I thought a factory reset will sort the issue if it's a software problem and I backed up my files and reset still the same problem. Meanwhile I connected wired piece to the phone I still didn't receive audio

If you have experienced this before or you know what could be the cause please give me a solution for me.

° Brodaman, For the past 2 days now, my navigation menu is not working, I tried using the button and gestures, both are not working except back for the gesture. The whole screen is working well. I am using a feature in accessibility to access recent apps, that's the saving grace for now. What can be done, done all, I tried fast booting but it is stuck at fast booting and I don't want to factory reset. What's the solution, I even thought it was the update, it was working though before the update but malfunctioning, when I updated, they just stopped working. Phone is redmi note 13 4g, the screen is working perfectly, everything is except that navigation button °
