A few days ago we reviewed the long string of bugs that some users who have already installed MIUI 12 on their Redmi Note 8 Pro have encountered. Unfortunately, this is not the only model of the family that is encountering different problems when applying the operating system update.
The problems of the Redmi Note 8 with the MIUI 12 global stable ROM continue to accumulate among users, according to the comments published by them in a Xiaomi survey published on its community page.
We already knew that the global version of the Redmi Note 8 has had problems receiving the MIUI 12 update but the few who have been able to receive the update notice have found it impossible to install the firmware normally. This makes more than 80% of users see this update failed.
Problems updating … and after updating
The latest news details that Xiaomi’s mid-range owners will probably have to wait until December to get a fully functional MIUI 12 Global Stable ROM as there have been issues with the current version release due to an OTA issue.
Xiaomi’s solution to these problems with the MIUI 12 ROM , widely criticized by the brand’s customers, is to use the fastboot method to update your device to the latest version of the operating system. Logically, doing so implies that a user will have to unlock the bootloader, and perform a factory reset, something that not all users know or want to do.
Those who have managed to install MIUI 12 on the Redmi Note 8 without a problem are not very lucky either. Among the comments on the Xiaomi forum we find some users who are now complaining about battery life problems, one of the most repeated problems in Xiaomi phones after installing the latest brand software. Others complain that Google services, and more specifically Google Play, sometimes stop working with no apparent explanation.
If you have a Redmi Note 8 in your possession and you want to receive MIUI 12 now , the best thing you can do is wait patiently next month to see if the future global and European versions of the ROM do not present errors when arriving via OTA and are more or less free of battery problems.
