Severe Frame Drops, Overheating, and Dolby Atmos Issues in Games on Poco F8 Pro (3.0.8.0)

F8 Pro

Hi everyone,

I am having several frustrating issues with my Poco F8 Pro (running Global version 3.0.8.0), especially when playing games like PUBG Mobile. I would really appreciate any advice or fixes!

Here are the problems I'm facing:

  1. **Dolby Atmos Not Working in Games:** Dolby sounds perfectly fine and active in apps like YouTube and Instagram. However, as soon as I open any game, it completely turns off and the audio sounds very flat.

  2. **FPS Drops and Stuttering:** In PUBG Mobile, my lobby is capped at 60 FPS instead of 90. When I set the game to 120 FPS and enter a match, the game stutters heavily, and during combat, the FPS instantly drops from 120 down to 90/100. This happens across all games, not just PUBG.

  3. **Severe Overheating:** The phone gets excessively hot for no apparent reason while playing.

I have already downloaded all the latest resource packs and tweaked all settings. Is anyone else experiencing this on their Poco F8 Pro, or does anyone know a fix for these performance and audio issues?

Thanks in advance!
