notification-light and vibration - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

I was not able to find the information. One of the "problems" i had with my A1 was, that the notification light was not very bright and single-colored. Also the vibration was pretty low so i always had to actively look for incomming messages.
So my question: Are these issues better with the A2 or is it still same/similar hardware?

I cannot compare the A2 with A1 since I did never use the A1 but the light on A2 is monocolored (white) and I feel comfortable with the vibration intensity

The vibration is way better... actuality better than most xiaomi devices...I had mi a1 and redmi note 5 ai.

Xiaomi explicitly said it will only use white LEDs due to power saving reasons. Don't expect a rgb one in any of their devices

Can someone confirm that the notification light only has like three brightness levels making it look strange when blinking? At least that's what I read somewhere

Dafaq? RGB notification light draws a lot of power? Ok, I guess it may consume 3x more but cmon, its still pretty much nothing

Enjoy what you have . Nokia 7 plus doesn't even have one haha

Screen does not turn on after turning off

Hi all,
For some reason the screen does not turn on after locking the phone. If I reboot it, the screen works completely fine, I can access all the apps, etc. However, as soon as I turn off the screen, it does not turn on. I can still use it because I can hear the tapping sound but the screen does not light up.
I know this question was asked a few times already but there were no replies, so I decided to ask again.
Need details mate, did you change the kernel? What is your Android version and rom, using stock? On the other hand, do you receive black and white notification screen when receiving messages?

I faced this problem on BlissPop but I don't remember the version. However, even on stock rom screen still does not light up :/ Black and white notification screen does not appear, as well.
Seems to be a hardware problem, maybe the sensor. I suggest you to contact Motorola for online support.

Xiaomi mia2 battery problem

Battery consumption of the phone was very fast
The core speeds I control with the CPU are running at the highest speed
No problem left when passive fingerprint reader
I can't go on this as soon as I'm waiting for a solution Xiaomi
What is the problem? after the 2nd october update the battery consumption is really good
The frequency stay always in the maximum, with the CPU-Z or AIDA64, the visualisation is the same in both.
Anyone know what's happening? This occur even when the phone is not in use.
Apparently, devices with the Goodix fingerprint sensor, when activating the use of the same to unlock the screen, has the processor locked at high frequency.
Same A2 here, no cpu issued after October update, check your background process, if you say Truth it should be another issue not fp related as both fp/fpc reports solved the issue.

What Are The Most Common Pie Upgrade issues?/Warnings? Possible to Roll Update back?

Didn't know if this has been made yet but is there a comprehensive list of the most common Android Pie Issues or things to be aware of moving from Oreo or Nougat to Pie?
I myself am on a T Mobile Note 8. I've been holding off on updating because I don't know enough of what they take away and what breaks.
The only thing I know of is that Device Maintenance Edge panel is gone. I use that Edge panel quite a bit.
Call recorder its gone too.

No. I have the call recorder on my N950N running Pie. Some countries have the call recorder disabled due to legal restrictions

Initially I was worried that the battery performance had declined, but after about a weeks usage I have found that the battery life is even better! It does take time for the update to settle in!

Has the update been worth it? And can you rollback?
yes, it is possible, to any firmware with bootloader version 5

how can I install Pie without changing my bootloader?
i am not sure whether this problem of mine was before pie or not but i just started to notice it now..
my issues is with the push notifications delayed/not receiving while on mobile data but works fine when connected wo wifi. the "push notification tester" app also shows success every single time while i am connected to wifi while on mobile data it is not! it works for a while and then after it never pushes the notifications leaving notifications to come through only on opening the app.
also the internet connectivity in general with the mobile data works fine like chrome browsing, news, etc.. only the notification are affected. upon googling the same i am seeing a lot of folks complaining on the same with different network/carrier/service providers but there hasn't been one working solution for the same
has any one faced anything similar with the recent android versions - oreo or pie ? have any solutions pls ??

How were you able to go back down to Oreo?! I thought that was not possible. Were you using stock Pie?

So funny, we have beta versions with fixed notifications since months! And Xiaomi only releases security patches for stable ROMs... I guess they are focused on Android Q and MIUI 11 so we can't expect anything new on Pie but the good news is that it's planned for Mid October for Mi 9 so we don't have to wait too much more

There is no Digital Wellbeing in latest EEA ROM or I'm missing something.
DC Dimming is not working like it should be, at least with me, namely when I turn this option on, on broad day light i get some strange pulsing backlight behavior.

DC Dimming works for me with none of your problems, but I don't like the colors and how it looks at low light. I don't really have a problem with flicker at low light so I don't use it.

Glad to hear it that everything is working for You as it should.
Now, it's hard to describe this issue I have and I will not describe this as flickering rather as background light goes from high to low in intensity, like that it's following some amplitude of very low frequency (few Hertz's).
Though I didn't noticed any discoloration when DC Dimming is active.

By flickering I meant the flicker at low screen light that DC-dimming (anti-flicker) is supposed to remedy. Not everyone sees that flicker, or at least isn’t sensitive to it.
I don’t really know if it’s discoloration or if it’s just that the contrast is off or something else that makes me feel uneasy with the screen at low light and DC-dimming enabled.

I personally did noticed this "flickering" at low light environment-screen so I see this flicker but fortunately it wasn't such a big issue to me.
When this new iteration of ROM has came to life and inside was this new DC dimming option, I have told to my self "hey, look at this, excellent" but to my disappointment, i have this issue. I believe that this will be solved in new ROM, as always with Xiaomi developers, two steps forward, one step back!
At me, when this option is activated, i personally didn't noticed or felt any uneasiness, discomfort or anything like that?!
Strange!
P.S.
Maybe I have some issue with light intensity sensor but I have tested sensor in CIT and everything was as it should be?!
Strange!
Updater app is really buggy. I have to let screen turn on and update open or download speed will reduce to 50 kbps.
On time download 520 MB and after reboot failed to install. next time It's download 2.4G update file. I had to clear data updater app.
by the way after a few hours It's downloaded and installed successfully.
After update I noticed that I have something is downloading and take total of bandwidth! finally I found it with WatchDog 3G app. yes it was Updater download and download again and again and never stop.
So I had to go to updater and check for updater, as soon as I tap to check update the download progress bar appeared so I tapped and download stopped.
XIAOMI is a great company but they didn't pay attention to softwares very much.
I hope MIUI 11 will change my idea.

Yes you can, you can even install Xiaomi.eu ROM which is based on the Chinese beta versions, plus it removes useless Chinese things for non-Chinese users and some optimizations are made

Purple screen glow when pop up camera is activated

Hi
I'm facing a problem with my mi 9T Pro.
After this update (10.3.3.0 PFKMIXM), when the pop up camera is activated, it shows a purple glowing on the display, next to it.
If i turn off the led of the pop up camera in the options the problem stop.
Is it a software issue or hardware issue ?
The same proble have already be mentioned here: https://c.mi.com/thread-2596121-1-0.html
Does anyone else have this problem?

It is basically a sort of animation they use when the camera pops up.

I was really worried.
If it's really some kind of animation, it's ugly, it really looks like a flaw.

If you observe carefully, you'll see that when it pops up, the animation is different in comparison to when it goes back. So, if it was a software issue, ideally, both times the effect should have remained the same.
Also, if you feel it's damaging in the long run, you can always switch it off in settings under *Special features*.

If it was a flaw then everyone of us running 10.3.3.0 are experiencing this, also if it was a flaw disabling it wouldn't make the problem to stop occurring. Anyways, I love that animation though lol, and you don't have to worry, its a feature.
This same goes to Redmi k20 Indian Unit
I am facing the same issue. Purple colour glowing on screen making me worried.
you can turn it off, its animation effects, go to special features- front camera effect- visual animation
It's obviously an animation guys..
