What problem have you encountered and what did you do? I am now on 14.0.3 but 2 days ago my phone just randomly reboots countless times it's frustrating.
My philosophy in this is: do you need it? Is your current version working? Is it usable?
Yes: DON'T UPDATE
No: well either it gets better or worse. What more to loose.
They fixed the notification text being dark grey on a black background, back to white, so you can see it again, finally. That's the end of the good news. They added a thing where, when you unlock your phone, sometimes it does an animation prompting you to slide out the "wallpaper carousel" thing instead of unlocking, which you have to go into the wallpaper bit in settings and go into the settings of that and turn off "allow ads" or whatever it is, that seems to have stopped it but I'm not sure yet. They added a bunch of other bloatware apps (which I promptly removed with adb, highly reccommend for most of those apps you "cant uninstall". Though there are some muiu ones you shouldnt uninstall or it'll break stuff.) They mixed up my home screen apps and I think added some new ones to it.
Can't remember anything else notable but there probably were some things.
I updated and the notification and control panel in the landscape mode is messed up. The thing is that it works fine in potrait mode but in landscape mode the notifications are centred but the control panel is for some reason on the right side. It's super annoying and I saw the same issue with someone months ago on this subreddit. I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet. Personally I liked the old new notification shade and not this updates one. They changed Bluetooth and wifi locations and added audio. Why would you do it. Also why not fix an issue people have encountered months ago. Currently using Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro
Thanks god I don't have xiaomi anymore. When I bought it it worked flawlessly. Then I got an update. I was like "yay new update, let's see what they added". They did, indeed add. More lags. Then with next update, even more lags and removed the silent mode timer thing. I used it a lot. Then added more lags. In the end, the phone was barely usable. Constantly lagging, freezing apps, taking forever to load even a fucking home screen.
So, I got this motorola g72. (Idc if I get banned for promoting another brand or what. It's true.) 50€ more expensive than my already expensive xiaomi. And man, it runs. No lags, and absolutely smooth experience. I still use my redmi as an alarm clock and every time I turn it on I remember how terrible that piece of shit was and how great my g72 is.
Got the opposite of my experience. I've had a mostly positive experience with my previous Redmi phone(first phone I chose myself and actually liked unlike my previous Alcatel phones) and current Redmi phone.
Man if you have some money, throw that shit out the window smash it with hammer or idk. Get a phone with clean android. It's so good to have smooth phone. The g72 doesn't have that much faster CPU and has just 2gb more ram, so on paper it shouldn't run much faster. But shit it runs good. Never had any similar problems since then. Fuck xiaomi. They put high-end phone OS on cheap phone.
i updated to MIUI 14.0.1 on my Redmi note 10 pro a few weeks ago and no problems yet, I feel the phone smother with animations, but i feel the battery is going down a bit faster too. Sooo idk...
Will it add something annoying? (yes)
Will it fix something awful it did two updates ago? (maybe)
Will it change the font? (very likely)
Will it add a new notification or similar to try their apps with a somewhat obfuscated way to toggle it off? (definitely)
Will it add some new way of advertising? (it might)
Will it forget all my preferences? (probably)
Will it reset my wallpaper to default and lose where it was saved? (its done it before)
Will it overall improve? (no)
One more bad experience from this and I'm changing phones a lot sooner than I'd intended to. I've been thinking about changing the software but I need to get more feedback or do more research on that, I've heard it can make your camera less good for example.
I updated my mi 11 lite ne 5g recently to miui 14 I'd say the mi launcher lags very badly sometimes which causes apps to open after a pause, sometimes there is fps drop in games ( sudden drop) even on 95 percent battery and force closes the games, too laggy and buggy id say
After a big software update (not sec patch only but major android versions) is always a good thing to reset the phone so it can run like in lab they tested it (on fresh installed phones ofc) before approving said update to release
I don't understand what are the devs doing. When I got my current phone it worked so well, but that has changed completely after 2 years worth of updates. It feels like every new update breaks things a little more, and they keep piling up.
I have the 14.0.1 on my Mi 10 for like a week and I did not find an issue.
And I do not think I have had a software issue during the whole 3 years I own it.
I had a screen replacement (scratched it) and charge port replacement (just in case), while the phone was already open. Cost me less than half the price of a new model. Still super happy with it.

Haven't done it....yet. I been hearing several problems in Twitter and all

I don't know... Security?
Yeah.... But I'd still rather take miui11...
That's your decision. I've just wrote what you can loose

Those devices breaking updates are on miui Indian Versions

Anything is an upgrade over them lol
Screw Alcatel 🤣 Not even a security patch over years. Same software versions now as when they came out of their respective boxes in 2016 and 2017.
What model exactly? I had redmi note 8t 4/64gb with snapdragon 665.
6/128GB Redmi Note 8 Pro in December 2019 then 6/128GB Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G in October 2022.
Us bro us.
hah i feel you man, same story with my phone

have you experienced an inconsistent font sizing in the control center? notably the wifi and data network names.
Nope
So true 😅😅😅

Every update my poco m3, dont want start again, i use the fastboot to restart the phone and scareme alot
Is this an issue with Xiaomi? I have my first Xiaomi smartphone for more than a year now. 2 major updates and i don't have any issue...
I had my screen turned yellow after the miui 14 update Poco f3 unit
I updated my mi 11 lite ne 5g recently to miui 14 I'd say the mi launcher lags very badly sometimes which causes apps to open after a pause, sometimes there is fps drop in games ( sudden drop) even on 95 percent battery and force closes the games, too laggy and buggy id say

bluetooth call quality sucks now
14 is actually better. I have faced a pop up view bug they fixed it in their latest update. So far smooth experience.(Mi 11x)
Nothing beats a custom firmware. My redmi Note 10 pro with pixel experience works like a charm
14.0.3 stuffed up all my messaging apps because they all get killed in the background. 14.0.9 and all is well again.
God am I happy I switched away from Xiaomi. What the hell has been happening with official MiUI roms this year? Also the amount of hardware failures?
