[XIAOMI 14 SERIES] FOGGY LENS FIX

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.

Probable Root Cause

  • This issue is possibly caused by excessive moisture trapped inside the phone during manufacturing, potentially from a small amount of glue under the battery that didn't dry out. The 13T Pro also had this same issue. Some people reported it going away after opening the SIM tray; others had prolonged moisture. However, it seems to be less severe than when they first unboxed the phone, which points to trapped moisture as the main cause.
  • For most, the issue resolves in a few days as the trapped moisture dissipates. If yours doesn't go away, here are some possible solutions that worked for a few of us. These solutions are also recommended for the Xiaomi 13T and other Xiaomi phones with moisture issues.

Recommended Fix 1 - This Worked For Me

  1. Make sure the outside of your phone is dry and clean. Wipe it with a clean microfiber cloth if needed.
  2. Open the SIM tray.
  3. Pull the SIM tray out.
  4. Leave it to air out for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Try video recording for 10-30 minutes at 8K to heat the phone up slightly.
  6. Put the SIM tray back in and observe.
  7. The moisture issue should be resolved.

Recommended Fix 2 - Reported by Other Xiaomi 14 Users

  1. Make sure the outside of your phone is dry and clean. Wipe it with a clean microfiber cloth if needed.
  2. Open the SIM tray.
  3. Pull the SIM tray out.
  4. Download 3DMark.
  5. Run a stress test for about 20 minutes.
  6. This will heat up your phone, but it's completely safe as it will thermal throttle when the battery reaches around 45°C.
  7. After the stress test is finished, leave the SIM tray out.
  8. Test 8K video recording outside for 5-10 minutes.
  9. If there's no fog, put the SIM tray back in.
  10. The moisture issue should be resolved.

What's the solution? SA-MP Mobile - App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone - Poco X6

Image
 After updating to HyperOS I am unable to install SA-MP mobile. Below are two methods which we can follow to install the app. Method 1: Using an ADB command (no root required): Download and extract “Android SDK Platform Tools” on your computer. The downloaded file can be extracted anywhere you’d like, I extracted it to the C drive. Enable USB debugging on your phone. This is done in “Settings,” click on “About Phone,” then tap on the “Build number” seven times. This will display a message that you are now a developer. Go back to “System,” and you will see an option for “Developer options,” click it, then enable “USB debugging.” On your phone, you may see a prompt to allow USB debugging, select “OK.” Connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable. Open a command prompt window within the “Platform Tools” folder from step one. Transfer the APK file to the “Platform Tools” folder. For ease, rename the file to a shorter name (app.apk). Type in the following command replacing “app.a...
