There's no the usual "forget/remove this network" button.
On WiFI -> Additional Settings -> Managed saved networks -> the home wifi network isn't listed there.
How should I remove it, then?

Unable to turn screen on unless charging

So, my dad recently had his Pocophone F1's USB port replaced, but now we have a very different issue.
When the screen turns off, due to pressing the power button to lock the phone, or waiting for the timeout, the phone is unable to wake up again by pressing the power button. The phone is still powered on, as it can make notification sounds.
If plugged into a charger, then the screen turns back on and the power button works normally, all the apps that were open are still there so the phone was clearly not powered off.
If not plugged into a charger and the screen is off, pressing the power button does nothing. You have to long-press the power button to cause the phone to reboot, then it can be used again until it is locked again.
Is this a hardware issue, or a configuration problem? We already tried sending the phone back but the repair person was unable to fix this behaviour.
OS: MIUI Global Stable 12.0.3 (stock ROM) on Android 10.

I install 128 GB extra storage on my android.
The thing is, most of those spaces are empty.
I cannot, for example, move my most space hoarding apps over there.
I can move files but I have no idea which file I should move.
My phone is POCO X3 NFC
I am using MKIUI Global 12.0.7 Stable
Some says I should integrate the flash card with my normal ssd. However, I do not see such option in settings
I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
It says I can move app but I need to format SD card as internal by going to
Settings > Storage > SD card
Well, in settings there is no menu called storage.
It seems that in APP there should be a button that say Change.
I see no such button.
I can go to manage apps and I am supposed to see this
I don't. My typical screen shen I click manage apps look like.
See. No change button. I should format my SD as internal. I do not see any such option. I can format my SD but there is no option that it's formatted as internal.

I am currently under assailance of incredibly pestidious telemarketers that call me at the top of every hour, to the point of having literally ripped out a tuft of hair from my head.
---
I block all the numbers, but they keep changing the numbers they come from.
However sometimes I still get calls from those blocked numbers, they ring the phone, and when I go to block them, I see it's already blocked, and that indeed that number had called me before!
There are so many numbers I have lost track and count, so I'm not sure if it's just 1 bugged number or a variety of them.
I have tried unblocking and blocking again, to no avail.

Using Xiaomi Pocophone F1 (MIUI 11.0.8 Global). I abruptly go into **mute** when I boot up any games while in a normal phone call. This doesn't happen in other apps.
I tried denying microphone permissions for the game (Phone permission wasn't required in there). Experienced this issue in Call of Duty Mobile, Head Ball 2, etc.
Does Game Turbo have anything to do with this issue? I can still hear them while gaming, whereas I'm muted until I exit the app.

My power button is broken internally, I can't press it to turn on my phone. How should I turn it back on? This is what I do and fail:
Holding volume down and plugging cable I get the fastboot logo, I run Command on SDK.
I enter> fastboot devices (it gives me the device number)
I enter> fastboot reboot OR fastboot boot OR fastboot continue
Everytime I get this error:
**Rebooting FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed**
Using PowerShell on SDK folder or using minimal fastboot I get no error BUT just like before my phone says "press any key to shut down." instead of booting to OS.
What should I do? Thank you (also tell if there's another way to turn it on)

Camera on Lockscreen
I have a Poco F1 running Miui. The Gcam is a much better camera than the stock one. Is there a way for me to change the camera that is opened on the lockscreen?

4k Photos or just video?
I've seen in the updates that 4k 60fps has been added but I cannot find a setting to take 4k photos. The pictures don't look as good as the videos but I don't know if I am doing something wrong.
