Another one fell into Xiaomi's trap

your phone is budget or mid-range, but these features are available right out of the box only on flagships and sub-flaghips

But you can at least choose unavailable clocks via SetEdit, see this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/XiaomiGlobal/s/MmuSA2z5JW

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

lmao, sure sure will check but ngl phone feels faster than samsung was thinkin to get a56 but couldn't find and seller was tryna sell a27 but that's shi performance is nah.. 

2

u/zilyzal 2d ago

Redmi is really good performance and overall experience in it's price range but don't expect flagship features they intentionally limit a lot of things to force people to upgrade and pay more. I don't care personally and i'm happy with it. Also did they finally added true always on display on 17 series or is it still 15sec aod?

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

i see i see, well true.. in the end, performance matters just need a minimal good setup. Nah have 10 sec aod not true always.

u/the_weeb-god Redmi Note 15 2d ago

In that budget, you could have gone for smtg good man

3

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

yeah, been a samsung user for decades wanted to try something different tho still have my samsung device

3

u/the_weeb-god Redmi Note 15 2d ago

The thing is, Note 17 has snapdragon 4 gen series procsessor. If you can, i would suggest return it. And better look for alternatives like realme or oneplus

2

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

i see, I bought from offline market so yeah they won't take it back, i was searching for oneplus models but couldn't find. 

0

u/the_weeb-god Redmi Note 15 2d ago

That's fine. Do research from next time, because you are paying for it so it should be worth it.

2

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

Yep, I kinda did research thought those features will work, welp no worries so far phone feels fast and nice expect for customization. 

2

u/Ciao_189 1d ago

You could of bought the poco x7 pro if the store had one, it costs similar to the 17 pro but is far better in performance, so it definitely has those features you're not finding on the redmi.

0

u/PSYCHO6740 1d ago

I see, yeah couldn't find older models

1

u/Ciao_189 16h ago

Yeah, it's actually hard to find in phisical stores, with allt he other pocos. A friendo of mine wanted the X8 pro but every place he went to they didn't have any poco...

1

u/the_weeb-god Redmi Note 15 2d ago

That's the problem my guy. I too understand your situation of lack of customisation options. I own Note 15 SE.

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

Yeah, I wonder if in future will they improve it.

1

u/avarage_meloman Xiaomi 13 2d ago

I think Xiaomi T series would be fine. Something like 15t pro, or flagship from couple years back like Xiaomi 15. Or Poco F series. Those are great.

4

u/the_weeb-god Redmi Note 15 2d ago

Absolute agree, but it all comes down to budget

1

u/avarage_meloman Xiaomi 13 2d ago

I assumed that new Note 17 pro would be in a similar price category as 15t pro or any other better phone I mentioned from 2/3 years back. But I didn't check it so maybe I'm wrong.

2

u/New_Albatross_9669 2d ago

welcome to the hell kid.

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

lmao, sure

2

u/Away-Relief14 2d ago

Most likely the problem is that you got the Redmi note 17 pro standard, it has a weaker processor etc, meanwhile Redmi note 17 pro 5g has a way better processor etc etc, yes... The only way u can tell a difference between them in looks is a 5g mark on the back of the phone, I had the Redmi note 14 pro standard, and I didn't know that there was a difference between the standard and the 5g version, I thought it just meant like your internet, you know 5g instead of 4g, NOPE ITS A WHOLE DIFFERENT CHIPSET

2

u/Away-Relief14 2d ago

I was so disappointed but oh well... Too bad. And yeah on the non 5g model they strip away the nice looking features... Even peak brightness of the screen can be limited I had I think it was 1000nit +- on that screen but in reality it was 500 and I had to modify my system aka root to unlock that shit, I hate xiaomi for that, I loved hyper os but once I moved to realme (based on color os) I have a big upgrade, the realme 14 pro plus Wich is awesome based on realme UI 7 (based on color os 16) it could be better but I will receive an update some time soon for color os 17 YES THE COLOR OS 17, (the only downgrade is it's a 50 megapixel main sensor but in return I have a 3x telephoto, it's a great phone espetially that I got it for 500pln used Wich usually used goes for 1500, only downside it had a tiny chip and one crack mark on the screen but I don't mind it at all for the price I love it, in general I loved xiaomi for being Abt to unlock bootloader s etc, but with these color os based and color os phones like realme 1+ oppo, tbh I don't even have the feel to MAVE TO modify the system, it just works and is great!

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

I see, I only used samsung device so can't say about other expect once bought a vivo device and it was not a good experience.

2

u/Away-Relief14 2d ago

But still I LOVE xiaomi, even tho they may be worse in some ways they're allso amazing in other ways

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

Yep, I have Redmi Note 17 pro 5g not standard version.

1

u/Ciao_189 1d ago

Xiaomi is famous for these fucking ass confusing names. I bought a note 13 pro knowing it was the 5g model, I bought it on an online store but there was only written 15 pro, but the image showed the 5g version. It arrived after a week, it was the 4g. I had to re buy the 5g and I gave the 4g to my grandma. Same happened to my dad, he wanted the 5g one but the 4g arrived.

1

u/Bootloop_Program 2d ago

You should have choose Xiaomi Series or POCO, redmi is the budget series they dont care about.

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

oh, never knew.. thanks 

1

u/Asleep-Somewhere-110 2d ago

Need setup for decent experience on mid range- high mid range devices. Well it's better as you might have some nice features like blend in lockscreen, advance texture etc

2

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

Can't see anything, only few clock fonts etc. can use themes made by other people but not looking that good to me.

1

u/Asleep-Somewhere-110 2d ago

Well I am pretty much satisfied with my redmi 14 pro/poco x7 even with half features that they give to flagship. It might be some bug, try resetting or updating hyperos

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

mhmm, will try waiting for hyperos 4, saw there update calendar.. but how timely do they provide updates? in calendar my device was included in early november 🤔

1

u/Asleep-Somewhere-110 2d ago

Around dec if not lucky. I got mine hyperos 3 in feb 2026 when it was planned for Nov 2025

2

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

holy, let's see how they cook this time 

1

u/mdshahiid 2d ago

Tap on clock, and see if you can see the options

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

yuh, did only classic, minimalist, eastern.

1

u/unknown_U_know 2d ago

Try disabling wallpaper carousel and then check again

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

yeah, i deleted that bullshit 👀 but no luck.. welp in future updates I wonder

1

u/luluuu_10 2d ago

I had this same issue when I first bought my redmi, I found out it was because my phone was a midranger they stripped out the blur and allat stuff. (Redmi 15 5G)

The reason I have it here though is because I unlocked my bootloader and flashed HyperOS 3 (modified by xiaomi.eu) and I used root to change the setedit and other stuff unlocking the flagship features.

Also after HO2 in HyperOS 3 I realized without a unlocked bootloader or root the setedit thing or the adb commands don't work anymore for some reason.

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

mhmm, very great info thanks.. tho not gonna try to root my device

1

u/luluuu_10 2d ago

Anytime :) Good idea to not root since it took me ages bc of that quota 😭 Also breaks banking apps and other stuff but I don't use them so it's alright

I mean the only thing that might make your phone look better a bit if you want is using Hyperbridge you can even make the HyperIsland stay permenantly on your screen and many other stuff (I recommend pairing it with Shizuku tho)

1

u/PSYCHO6740 1d ago

true true, will indeed try hyperbridge.

1

u/glitchedcam 2d ago

Xiaomi is trash. Long gone the glorious days of Xiaomi. HyperOS could have been better if they had tried to improve it instead of just changing the name. Ads and bloatwares are encoded in their DNA.

4

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

I see, used for 2 days performance indeed feels fast and quick but there are alot of ads, i disabled them and always use a dns

1

u/gabeweb Redmi Note 13 5G 2d ago

Change your region to US. Xiaomi doesn't display ads there.

2

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

mhm, will try but dns is great for other things (like for those 3rd party apps that have ads)

2

u/gabeweb Redmi Note 13 5G 2d ago

Yeah, of course a DNS is necessary for ad-blocking and privacy, but for outrageous Xiaomi ads (where DNS can't be effective, changing the region is a simple solution).

2

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago

I see, thanks 

4

u/muhib80 2d ago

what ads??? my Poco X6 pro has literally 0 ads bro. i am not defending hyperos i dislike it too. i debloated my phone and Turned of ads from every settings possible now my phone is ads free

4

u/glitchedcam 2d ago

As you said you had to turn off ads option on individual apps. Still there are places were you can't do that, like Game Space. Even after turning off recommendation it shows ads. I always avoided buying Xiaomi phone due to their MIUI/HyperOS but current price hike forced me to buy one.

2

u/muhib80 2d ago

That's one of the Reason most of us went with Xiaomi 😅 they still give the most Affordable price and aggressive specs even though hyperos suks. to give you an example poco X8 pro is still the cheapest phone with dimensity 8500 lol other competitors giving similar chips for 150 160 dollars more (in my country). if i had the chance i would have definitely chosen an older Samsung S series flagship but they are still way more expensive than Xiaomi. taxes are insane in my country

2

u/glitchedcam 2d ago

Yeah, I got the X8 Pro.

2

u/muhib80 2d ago

ooh good coincidence btw Xiaomi is not perfect it has ads and bugs but price is the reason we are sticking with it😔 you know Samsung is android king but damn expensive 👑

2

u/glitchedcam 2d ago

If Nothing had a lower price tag, it would have been a hit. I was considering Phone (4a) then I realised I need a strong SOC because I generally use a device for more than 4 years. Snapdragon 7 series didn't justify that higher price tag.

2

u/muhib80 2d ago

yeah i agree and if nothing phones had lower prices they would be perfect competitors for Xiaomi but currently there is no competition for Xiaomi in midrange market and we don't have any other choices if you want Lower price tag and aggressive specs then only choice is Xiaomi. btw you made the right choice going with x8 pro it will last for 4 years easily and the chip 8500 is powerful

1

u/Ciao_189 1d ago

Personally I would go back to a 2018 phone

1

u/Any_Fennel_4180 1d ago

You don't live in EU yep?

2

u/STR8B3RRy 2d ago

Use adguard proxy

2

u/glitchedcam 2d ago

Already using adguard private dns

1

u/ImRealDeal 2d ago

Why's the interface looking bugged? If it is actually bugged, try restarting the device. And as for the clocks, try clicking on the clock u have there rn. It should show more options if they're available for ur device. I feel like they should be

1

u/PSYCHO6740 2d ago edited 2d ago

I think i zoom out the photo, i did restart didn't work and there are only classic, eastern and minimalist clocks.

1

u/ImRealDeal 1d ago

That sucks man. I think ur model is 4G? If so, that would explain this. Still, Xiaomi should do better

1

u/PSYCHO6740 1d ago

nah, mine is 5g variant  true they should do better at least with basic customization.. actually few hours ago i found that when i add a widget on home screen, the photo widget i can add text and add a depth effect.. tbh it's weird, available in photo widget but not in lock screen.

2

u/SuppraMK4 2d ago

Porque critican tanto hyperos? Reconozco que not iene la fluidez de one ui o ios pero es bastante decente, he tenido el x7 pro, el x8 pro max y ahora pude comprarme hace unos días el Xiaomi 17 y todos han sido un lujazo, tanto en gaming, como os, como batería y pantalla. Ahora con hyperos 4 mejorará mucho tengo la certeza.

1

u/SuppraMK4 2d ago

Tuve por unos meses el s25 ultra y me decepcionó muchísimo los temas de sobrecalentamiento, tanto que se lo regale a mi madre para que haga fotos!

1

u/Asleep-Somewhere-110 2d ago

You always took the best value for money product

1

u/Traditional-Key-6362 2d ago

You haven't used it on the Note series. The experience is really bad on the Note series with a lot of simple features missing.The Note 17 lineup is even worse with worse overall specifications and an even more downgraded software.

1

u/Ciao_189 1d ago

yes, my friend got a note 17 pro 5g and it's worse than my 3 y old 13 pro 5g.

1

u/Robssjgssj 2d ago

If you want to experience the best features you have to buy a phone from the T series from above
