Various minor problems on POCO X3 NFC
-
Hi I just installed Ubuntu Touch Stable to a Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC (bought it because it seemed well supported and all checkmarks were green in the "devices" pages of the UBPort website) and so far it has worked pretty good.
However I have had a few minor inconveniences with it, and since there's no Poco X3 NFC sub-forum I thought I'd post them here :
-
Sometimes - seems after moderate usage of an app, or when I toggle "system preferences" as well - the swipe from right becomes ineffective. What I mean by "ineffective" is the gesture start to trigger the switch to multitask but cannot complete it and gets back to the app. The only thing I can do is lock screen, wait, and then retry.
-
Yesterday I was at a concert and took a few videos to test it, but when I tried watching them, the multimedia player was unable to play them, it remained stuck to a black screen.
-
Lastly I have had moments when the screen seems to glitch (rapid distortions of the overlay, black flickers) but doesn't impact usage.
Wondering if someone with a Poco X3 NFC have had similar issues.
Thank you.

Hi,I have the same screen glitches on mine.
I also cant use the voice recording app. After installing it it worked fine and all of a sudden it stopped working. When recording a message it doesnt count up or if it counts up it wont record.Concerning your swipe issues - I cant confirm those
seems to work fine 4 me. -

hey fellow X3 user
the swiping issue might due to a hardware issue, like edge detection or something, do you have a protective case on yours ? Maybe it's just that. I'll try.
I tried Parabola, and it seems there's a horrible feedback occurring lol ! So unusable for me as well.... -
@spek - regarding video playback, try using one of the alternative apps in the Open Store for that -

Hi m8,I have an protective case on my phone - but it might be different compared to yours.
Appart from the voice recorder the x3 seems to run like a clock (well most of the time that is ). Still trying to figure out what the problem with the voice recorder is . It seem like its trying to write the recordings to memory but doesn’t succeed… odd. Might look into the code if I have time -
Good morning
There is an bug.that keeps.pocession of the mircophone. Someone wrote a script to fix it :
https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/2022Its not really related to.your problem tho - just to the one I told u about (cant.record voice messages).
The scipt fixed it for me.

ok also the time in the status bar is displayed outside of the screen...
I made the switch to LineageOS because as is I just can't use Ubuntu Touch on a daily basis, so feel free to delete my post. -
Sorry to reply to this old post.
I confirm the flickering screen.
I always had the same issue when using LineageOS or even miui.
On android 13, it's much better but, lonce a week, it happen.
Since utouch halium for Poco X3 NFC is based on android 10, the flickering screen happens once a day at least. And when i use miui with android 10, i have the same problem everyday, so i suppose that it's not, technically, an utouch bug.
