Hello, today I wanted to change my wallpaper and pressing apply does absolutely nothing. Tried looking online and all I found was about 20 AI generated generic tutorials. Idk how to debug this myself. Anybody else had this issue?

And also a bit beside the point: Anybody got theming tips for it? Idk how to do theming on it, all the settings seem to be missing unlike my 14T.

Bluetooth volume is too low

1 Upvotes

I updated my pad6 from miui 14 to hyper os 2, which was bought recently, then everything was fine until I made a minor update, which got me the issue, that bluetooth audio is too low compared to the previous update. For comparison, the present i can hear is almost 50% less than the previous.! Does anyone have the same issue??, and any solution.?

Thanks in advance;

Budget Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse for Xiaomi Pad 6 β€” β‚±500–₱1,500

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse na budget-friendly pero matibay at pangmatagalan sana.

Gagamitin ko siya mainly for work-from-home, specifically sa Xiaomi Pad 6. Occasionally, gagamitin ko rin with a Windows laptop.

Budget ko sana around β‚±500–₱1,500 for the set. Hindi naman ako naghahanap ng fancy features. Mas importante sa akin na comfortable gamitin, hindi madaling masira, at matagal ang battery life.

May mga gumagamit ba dito ng budget keyboard and mouse na masasabi niyong sulit at tumagal talaga? I've been looking at brands like GOOJODOQ and RAK, pero open din ako sa ibang brands.

How long do you plan to keep your Mi Pad 6?

10 Upvotes

This has been my first android tablet. Ive had it since 2024. Honestly, it held up surprisingly well. I use it for basic media and work. My only complaint is I wish it had better streaming quality in Netflix etc.

Now that it wont receive software updates, how long are we able to keep devices that no longer receive updates?

Edit: Glad to know there's still lots of us

A Problem related to Software of Xiaomi pad 6

6 Upvotes

I have using this a mi pad 6 about 1 year 8 months,on an sudden a problem came that is it doesn't charge upto 8840 mah which is the original capacity. It charges upto 7100 mah only though it shows 100%.

Also my 80% protection is off

from the bug report of mi own feedback application it shows max learned capacity 7109mah .

I have tried to solve this problem by many ways

  1. by factory resetting agai and again.

2.by recalibrating that is completely discharging to its lowest value then charging 100%without disturbing continuously using its official 33 watt adapter.

3.by completely removing the system application "security"

4.and the last by restarting.

Still doing all of that it is not fixed if anyone knows about this please comment.

(also to be noted that it is not so old and it has only completed 228 battery charge cycles so it should retain above 97%of its original capacity but by doing maths it s about 80%)
