    How to stop Wallpaper Carousel popup

    Javier P - Thank you for your photo. It worked. :) Edited extract from photo that worked: - MIUI 12.5 allows non-essential System apps to be uninstalled so uninstall ‘Carousel’ app via Settings > Manage apps > Uninstall then select the app and ‘Uninstall’ it. The tulip icon is replaced by a...

    How to stop Wallpaper Carousel popup

    Thank you. Yes, I have tried various Wallpaper Carousel (WC) settings: - 1. WC is turned off. 2. Consent withdrawn for WC. 3. 'Discover' is turned off. None of these remove the icon and, if I accidentaly swipe on the icon whilst handling the phone, even by a small amount I am prompted to turn...

    How did torch get switched on in my pocket?

    Thank you but I'm sure that I hadn't been using it. I agree that the torch should auto-shut off after a set time.

    How did torch get switched on in my pocket?

    It hasn't happened again so I reckon it was a random glitch. I'll call this thread ended as far as I am concerned.

    System apps updater not responding

    Thanks. The c.mi.com link was okay but be warned about the xiaomist link. My Norton 360 threw up a security alert. See photo: -

    System apps updater not responding

    Update - I think the app updated itself and it seems okay now. It wasn't anything I did. Xiaomi must have done a fix. Watch this space. mustang7757 - For future use how does one report problems to the manufacturer? Is there a link that you can point us to?

    System apps updater not responding

    Yes, I tried steps in the article. Because it is a system app (not an app I installed) the force-stop menu is not shown so I can't force-stop it. I cleared all caches using the 'Cleaner' app that came installed with the phone. The system apps updater in the apps list has the same issue as in...

    System apps updater not responding

    Thank you. Yes it happens on both WiFi and mobile data. No, I do not use a VPN. I have rebooted the phone. I have tried to force-stop the app but that option is not available.

See photo. Sometimes it will launch but then fail to install updates. Sometimes it will...

    How did torch get switched on in my pocket?

    Thanks, but none of these apply to my phone and 'Turn on torch' setting is set to 'None' so no actions should turn it on except doing it manually. Maybe it was a random glitch that switched it on.

I took the phone out and entered my phone PIN to wake it up and was able to switch the...

    [Problem posting using Firefox]

    I don't know if the thread title font was larger and I don't understand your text "you can get back to the normal format by deleting everything at the end of the URL up to but not including "html"." but that's okay so no need to explain further. The issue is solved now and I'll try to remember...

    [Problem posting using Firefox]

    The problem seems to have gone now. I have tried this thread using both Vivaldi and Firefox on my Windows 11 PC and both work okay now. I see that you have created a new thread in the Site Feed back forum and I wonder if this fixed the glitch? I say this because I had the same issue (Unable to...
