Xiaomi 14 Ultra issue: "Microphone is blocked" appears when recording video, but video works fine. Why?

Image
Microphone Notification Explained The notification you're seeing about your external microphone isn't a cause for alarm. It's a gentle alert about some minor, blocked features, put in place for your privacy. Think of it like a helpful reminder – the system is blocking certain advanced microphone features (things like background noise reduction or echo cancellation) to prevent unauthorized access. It's a safety precaution, like locking a door. These features, while useful for things like video calls, could potentially be misused. So, the system blocks them until you give the okay. It's a bit like a security gate; a little inconvenient to unlock, but it keeps things safe. How to Adjust Settings To stop the notification and use all your microphone's features, you'll need to adjust your settings: Turning a feature OFF in this case actually unblocks it.

My Apple Watch Says My Heart Rate is 42 BPM - Is This Normal? My Apple Watch Says My Heart Rate is 42 BPM - Is This Normal? So, my Apple Watch recently recorded my heart rate at 42 beats per minute (bpm). Naturally, I freaked out a little. Is this something I should be worried about?

Apparently, a low resting heart rate can sometimes be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness, especially for athletes. This was slightly reassuring, but I'm no marathon runner. Others were more cautious, recommending a visit to a cardiologist. Their point was that peace of mind is priceless, especially if you're not in peak physical shape. This definitely made me think. Then there was the technical side of things. Some suggested the read...

Xiaomi 14/14 Ultra Camera Lens Fogging Issue Note: Possible Fixes Compiled A few people have encountered a moisture issue with the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The camera lens fogs up, especially in cold and damp weather. As an early tester of the Xiaomi 14, I encountered this issue myself. It recurred for a few weeks, but I can now say mine is resolved thanks to the fixes below. I will continue to monitor in case the issue returns. Moisture Issue / Condensation / Foggy Lens This is what my Xiaomi 14 looked like when I first opened it; the main lens was completely covered in fog. The next day, the moisture issue recurred, but I noticed it was much less. Over the next few days, the fog lessened but didn't completely go away. Very few Xiaomi 14 Ultra users are encountering this issue, but when it occurs, usually, multiple lenses fog up. Photo Quality You will notice some haze and glows in photos if you are experiencing this issue. Probab...
