He said that he is using a Nova Launcher and Muzei alongside Bing wallpapers to update screen lock on a daily basis but after MIUI 11 update, it doesn’t seem to be working as good as before.

What is the solution? The lock screen is sponsored by advertisements from India and China, according to other users on the same page. Nonetheless, no such supply of ads is available in the MIUI and this could be an unchangeable default UI environment.

Mi 9T Crashes Randomly

Xiaomi Mi 9T is a sensational smartphone with a pop-up camera configuration – but it faces some issues after MIUI 11 update. A user has reported that it crashes the smartphone randomly. Another user posted on MI Community Forum the same problem occurred after installing MIUI 11 update.

Unfortunately, there is no concrete solution for this as of now to get rid of such a problem – however, it’s better to wait for an update under Settings App which may help a little.

Unusual Behaviour of Notification Icons

According to a user who has reported on Reddit, the notification icons keep hiding automatically after installing MIUI 11 update. This creates confusion for many users as most of the time they miss an important notification due to this problem. Some users have said that phones with notch screen appear to have this problem than the others.

Here is a solution: It’s better to manually change notification settings by visiting the App Info page to restore alerts and icons. Although we aren’t damn sure about this tip -helping the users, but it’s a bold move to give it a try. Otherwise, you can rely on Xiaomi to fix the problem through a software update, so keep an eye on it.

Missing Dynamic Fonts Feature

It is anticipated that this feature will come in new updates but has not been updated until now with the MIUI 11. The reason we have listed it here is that a user asked about this issue.

Dynamic fonts are most likely to be available for the Chinese language only and wouldn’t work with a European language. However, it’s most likely that this will come with the latest Android 10 update.
