mere wale me jab mai google docs me kuch type kar raha hu to cursor automatically upar ki line me pahuch jata hai, and koi fingers touch nahi ho rahi fir bhi..🤔🤔@RaoSumukh @IndiCoder18 @techstarsrk — Naman Dwivedi (AndroWide) (@naman_nan) April 3, 2021 Now, as you can see, most of the users are facing touch responsiveness issues. This means that when the users start typing on their devices, the cursor is going haywire without any touch input. Some users even report slowdown and unresponsiveness issues from time to time.
Replacement Didn’t Work Either!
One user stated that his friend faced similar problems with his new Redmi Note 10 and got a replacement device. However, he allegedly faced the same issues on the replacement device. He then took it to an authorized service center where the technicians told him that this is not a hardware issue. As a result, they told him to wait for a software update before replacing the device.

Redmi Note 10 Pro/ Pro Max Screen Flickering Issue
Apart from the touch responsiveness issues, many users are also facing issues relating to screen flickering. As per the user reports, the screens of the higher-end Redmi Note 10 Pro and Note 10 Pro Max devices are flickering for no apparent reason. Moreover, the flickering is reportedly is more noticeable in dark mode. Further, one user states that he faced the screen flickering issue only when the 120Hz refresh rate is enabled. The screen works perfectly fine at a 60Hz refresh rate, which is disappointing.
