I got my Xiaomi 13 a few days ago from China..Its basically useless. None of the apps (LINE, Messenger, Whatsapp) have ringtones or notification sounds. It seems like the old bug when the ringtones are not visible for the apps.. Permission issues? Not sure. I guess I will just have to wait for any MIUI 14 updates. Also selfie camera is crap. Images burn out and are noisy. White balance seems also off.. I hope its only a software fix. Otherwise the phone is beautiful..

I got the 8/256GB light blue variant of the Xiaomi 13, which is the nano-skin version. Purchased it from Giztop, paid 749 USD for it....The glass version are cheaper but I preferred this one... :)

I pre-ordered, and after the release date it took about a week to get it. I am in Thailand. Your mileage my vary. You can always ask them about delivery times. It came with MIUI 14 pre-loaded, and had one update already. Currently it is running 14.0.9.0.TMCCNXM.

I think I might be going around the ringtone bug by uploading custom ringtones to the phone and setting up all the messenger apps individually with these ringtones and notification tones...I still have my Iphone as well.

The only problem is after a reboot, the set ringtones for apps revert back to the default ones, which are not accessible by the apps...Sigh...

its very to fix, all you gotta to is go to notifcation settings for the app and enable allow playing sound and allow vibration. i get all my app notification sounds on my 13 pro (whatsapp, signal, discord, gmail, instagram)
 
I do have whatsapp sound but not vibrate... I got 14.0.9 update but dont get 14.0.11 even when it's out

go to notification and then scroll down to chats, select each of the option and turn on vibration and for mic just go to permission allow "record audio". you gotta do this for all the apps u want vibration. and make sure to turn off battery restriction if u want call pop up on lockscreen and turn on autostart, also if u want pop up message then go to permission turn on display pop up and show on lockscreen.

I bought my 13 pro from my China trip... So what I did is basically enable auto-start for the apps I use (gmail, twitter) and allow as many notification permissions for the apps. They are pretty agile imo
