After my Mi A2 was updated from Android 8 O to Android 9 P, I have to face lots of bugs and some serious issues. Although I already tried factory resetting, it doesn’t help. Many A2 users also face these issues.
1. Portrait Mode – Unable to focus on any other subjects, except a subject in the middle of the frame. That means whenever you touch on the screen to focus, focusing does not work for you at all. This is one of most serious issues for users who love photography.
2. Fingerprint Scan – Significantly slower scanning speed. Very annoying.
3. Screen Brightness Dropping – When I was on Android 8 O, I always adjusted the brightness scale to 30-40% and it’s bright enough. But now, for Android 9 P, I have to slide the scale to 70-80% so I can see the screen clearly. (Adaptive Brightness already turned off)
+++ There's an explanation that this screen brightness change is not a bug. Find out more here: https://forums.androidcentral.com/g...ubt-about-display-brightness-android-pie.html
Thanks @Varun.Shanbhag for the information. +++
4. Heating Issue – I’ve noticed that while charging the phone, when it was on Android 8 O, the temperature never got more than 39°C, but now, on Android 9 P, it sometimes gets to 41°C. (Refer to the app ‘Ampere’)
Moreover, when using camera, it gets hot too quickly.
However, I am not sure if there’s only me facing this overheating issue.
It is likely to be caused by CPU freq. issue stated in the following thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/little-cpu-stucks-1401-mhz-min-freq-t3851184
5. Touch Screen – Touch screen seems to be less responsive than before. I can notice its latency. Sometimes I have to double tap the screen to get something done, because the first tap does not respond. (It can be easily noticed this issue with back button)
6. Lower Audio Volume – Some users say that they're facing lower audio volume issue when using earphones or headphones.
7. Face ID - Face ID doesn't work stably, it sometimes works and sometimes does not.
8. Front Flash Issue - front flash doesn't work when I turn it on in camera app. (But it works when set it as 'Auto')
9. Black Banding on Camera Screen - There're black bandings appear on the screen while using camera app, they look like signal noise appears on TV.
10. Camera App Crashes - Camera sometimes crashes, for example, the camera app says "Camera Error - Can't connect to camera" when I switch the camera from back to front in Portrait Mode.
11. Whole system seems to be less stable than it was in Android Oreo.

I have a little issue with after ending a call, after some time device make some sound like I ended a call (beep like) and screen randomly wake up, it happens only after ending a call, and notification led pulse is laggy. . .it was laggy even I was on Oreo.

I'm not sure about beep and screen randomly wake up, but the laggy LED pulse happens to me, that makes me annoyed sometimes ?
I also found that the LED issue has appeared since Android 8 O.
yeah the laggy led looks so cheap and retro like it was used in the last century ???
Hey guys, i just updated to pie December update, and the wifi tethering band locked to 2,4Ghz, any way to enable the 5ghz?
Really considering flashing the custom Pixel Experience ROM. Having a lot of bugs on Pie. Did the factory reset. None of them gone.
Any suggestions ? Should I just go for Custom. Or should I wait for next update ?

About the heating problem probably your cpu stacks at 1401 mhz when charging. Check it with cpu spy. This was happened to me with pie.

Thanks for your information, I've added it to the list. I also hear about Face ID issue on Pie, so you can be sure that there's not only you are facing haha.
I feel kinda sad with this update. We should report all the problems to Xiaomi as much as we can, just hope the dev can hear our voices.

Oreo is ok, i have downgrade my phone after some hours using pie. Pie for me it is in early beta.
How can we report about this ?
Gps problems
I'm also having issue with lags. Fingerprint scanner is lagging from time to time.. Overall daily task from switching apps to bring back to home screen also lags.
Disabling adaptive brightness seems to help improve the lag so far...

I just got my Global A2, 4/64 two days ago. Updated to Pie and have Dec Patch.
1) Portrait works fine. I can focus on any part of the scene and that subject will be in focus. Works quickly and reliably.
2) Fingerprint scan is quick with zero issues holding my finger at any angle. No lag whatsoever.
3) I went straight to Pie, so had zero experience with Oreo on the A2, but screen brightness behaves similar to the Moto G5+ that I had before. Adaptive brightness also behaves the same.
4) I never checked the phone with Oreo, but when charging on Pie, the phone feels cool to the touch. Cooler than my Moto G5+. BTW, I am using the OEM Moto QC 3.0 charger with the A2.
5) Touch screen is as responsive as my Moto G5+ and my Wife's Moto G6.
6 and 7) I don't use headphones or Face ID.

Everything is working perfectly. No lag choosing focus points in portrait, no lag using the finger print sensor, no lag using the screen, adaptive brightness, heat issues etc.? That all the behavior I am seeing would be better with Oreo?

Hello
I was on Oréo before and I did not notice any difference in the use with Pie, I am very fond of this version (sorry for English).

Hi,
I am seriously considering returning this. Its so nearly great but my unit is suffering from the following:
1. Stuck on Android 8 and Feb update. See seperate thread.
2. Touch screen touch sensitivity has some real issues. Scrolling around will occasionally "jump" or reverse direction briefly. I see this a lot on cheaper Android devices.
3. The default notification sound is a ringtone that goes on for 20 seconds approx. I have to change this for every type of notification for every app.. Its maddening.
4. Camera is... meh. Good for the price, but a long way off the top tier.
5. Auto brightness isnt good. Changes too fast, too often. Its all over the place.
UPDATE! 6. Developer Options seem totally broken. Settings dont persist or they do and the UI doesn't remember selections. What a mess.
NOTE - there are lots of positives, but these are well covered elsewhere.
All in all... this feels like any other cheap-ish Android phone. Needs updates, and dont kid yourself that this is the bargain of the century. Its good value, but its clear where compromises have been made.
Lot of bluetooth issues with 8.1. Sound is lagging when paired to my Sony WH-1000XM2. Other devices might loose connection after a while and needing to be re-paired.

2. Is the touchscreen a software issue?
3. Surely there has to be a better way of dealing with this notification ringtone? - Anyone got any ideas?

For 3, I may have solved this myself - there is a default notification sound option which can be changed from the 20 (approx) seconds ringtone. I changed this and still got 1 of the long notifications, but the rest were normal.
As for 2), hopefully this is a software issue. The touch panel has a firmware version which is why I am so keen to get the 8.1 update (as it *may* have a newer version?) as mine is stuck on older software.
I have problems over several apps:
- Instagram no sound in stories
- Snapchat video quality is very very poor and pixilated
- Camera Zoom in Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp sometimes works and sometimes not.
- Stock Camera app, sometimes there are glitches when the camera is switching from wide to tele in lowlight.
- Playstore and Recent apps window sometimes lags
Anyone else experiencing those bugs?

I just checked your first 3 issues, I don't have any of them. I didn't notice any glitches with the camera either yet, but I haven't tested it that much. Only thing is the lag when switching between recent apps, Playstore works fine though. Maybe try and clear the cache of the apps you have problems with? Or maybe you didn't update them?

i just found out that my instagram audio is not working when i have my phone in vibration mode instead of ringing mode, although media volume is on max.
As soon as i change into ringing mode the sound in my instastories is working! Should be a software bug, but not sure if from instagram or nokia.
EDIT: are you able to do a smooth zooming in snapchat or only "1 step"? Because after reinstalling the app i was able to fully zoom in, exactly how i am used to it. Afterwards i started the stock camera app tapped the x2 button to zoom in. Then when i went back to snapchat i was only able to zoom "1 step" like i would press the x2 button in the camera app, instead of a continuous zoom.
My volume key temporary disabled after use instagram or some local apps. Uninstall TalkBack help me this. You guys who had trouble with sound should try.
I can agree to some of these issues.
The most annoying by far is the auto brightness. Sometimes when I unlock the phone it turns the brightness all the way down, even when I'm outside. Makes the screen all but unreadable. More interesting is that it makes the adjustment even though the auto-adjustment is turned off.
The bluetooth sound is choppy sometimes.
No complaints on the screen or the camera from me.

yeah, the auto brightness does not work as good as it should. Just had a 2 hours call with a bluetooth headset and everything was just fine! Maybe you could try a different protocol in the developer settings for bluetooth codec?
Hey everyone !
I received my N7P a few days ago and i noticed that everytime i record a video, this message pops up : "OZO audio is deactivated".
I live in France and this the European model.
Do you have the same problem ?
I noticed that they also removed the face unlock. Any news on that ?
Thanks for the support guys ! :good:

Hey, I am curious about how the WH-1000XM2 sounds in nokia 7 plus. Is it better or worse than your other devices except for the lag?
I'm in the UK, just the received the phone and am also stuck with the 8.0 + Feb security patch. It's saying I'm up to date.
Also, is anyone else's system storage taking up 14GB? Should it be that big? It's already using 22% before I've even installed an app. Tried a factory reset and same thing.

So I was appreciating the beautiful display on the Note 8 and it's abilities again today by watching a HDR video from YouTube on it, but I noticed something weird. Whenever I went from a bright to a dark environment, (lit bedroom to dark living room) the screen would drop to a lower brightness, then realize it's in HDR mode and go all the way back up, and it would alternate multiple times as I moved around in the dark environment. It would drop to a low brightness, pick back up to full, drop, repeat. Can anyone else test to see if this is happening with theirs too?
Settings: WQHD+ resolution, Auto Brightness enabled, Video Enhancer enabled

This will help me confirm whether it is indeed a software bug introduced in Oreo/April Patch or if it's my own hardware that's having issues. Thanks for the help!
I would say it is a software bug.
This was happening to me after the Oreo update, unsure what I done that resolved it though but, after flashing a custom rom and going back to stock it has worked fine for me. Using the same Oreo package that I used to update to Oreo the first time also.
I am really sad to hear about all these bugs due to OREO updating, they make me think that it has far more cons than pros over nougat, in my country no Oreo ota yet, I will stay this way until a really good oreo comes out...
I don't know what kind of developers HMD hires but, the software is half baked and not optimized properly.
Am I too late in saying that they should atleast provide bootloader unlock, so that we can have a better and more optimized software.
Blast Sarvikas, HMD and Nokia Mobiles on twitter and ask them either to optimize the software or provide bootloader unlock.
Problems right now:
1. Try locking phone using hardware button on an app with white screen, you will see a reddush hue when the screen turns off.
2. Very bad animation and laggy animations. App switching by double tapping recents used to be a breeze but now it's laggy af and sometimes doesn't even works.
3. Incompatibility with a lot of apps even after those apps are optimized for Android 9; Sound indictor sticks on the screen for more than one minute, phone heats a lot, battery draining, etc. One such app, that cause these problem is Lastpass.
4. Fingerprint problem; sometimes it doesn't works or is too late.
I agree with 1,2 and 4.
I have no such problems.

No issues like that on mine either.
I did not have such problems with my Nokia 7 plus. Everything is snappy and works very fast.
The only thing I noticed was crazy switching of the adaptive brightness and notifications that do not fit well the text.
Some of them are addressed in the November patch.
Coming from a phone that would never get a security update, I think this phone is heaven.
Hello guys!
I just got my new Red Magic 3 global variant!
I have some problems with this phone that I wanna share with you, maybe you have those as well!
1. Side touch buttons and fingerprint sensor react when touched even outside of gaming mode for example if you touch the side buttons while scrolling in chrome, scrolling becomes very slow and weird or when you touch the buttons on youtube, the youtube reacts like you clicked on the screen and shows the play, next and previous buttons!
2. The CPU usage is very very weird! I tested the cpu usage using the gaming mode and other apps and most of the time its on 80% usage (1760Hz) used or even peaks to 100% usage sometimes!
the phone stutters a bit and I believe that happens when usage is up to 100%
3. Ram managment is very very bad, most of the time I have 3Gb of ram left out of the 8GB
4. missclicking is aweful on this device! I easily click on the screen when handling it and the system reacts as I clicked on the side so sometimes my touch on the screen does nothing cause it thinks I have 2 fingers on it
5. (even without even putting the phone in my hands) Touch seems a bit weird, sometimes the touch reacts perfectly and soemtimes there is a delay of like 1s between my touch and the reaction of the screen. sometimes the touch registers but it does nothing, like clicking on recents, back or home buttons. sometimes touch doesnt work at all and I have to click on the screen again
6. There seems to be a sound recorder preinstalled but the only way to use this app is by creating a shortcut to this activity using shortcuts apps.
7. some system features are missing / not working - dark mode, adaptive battery, switching navigation buttons, pixel gestures (1 key navigation) and more
I love this phone but I hope this will be solved asap
Have you encountered these problems as well?

I have encountered these issues too. I could not find the gesture navigation anywhere. Also, I use straight talk, and while my phone works, i have no APN setting under mobiel networks to change setting to make it work better.

3. Ram managment is very very bad, most of the time I have 3Gb of ram left out of the 8GB
7. some system features are missing / not working - dark mode, adaptive battery, switching navigation buttons, pixel gestures (1 key navigation) and more

Hi,
Will just answer those two statements as I am unsure about the others.
About 3. : I guess you are aware that, the more RAM you have, the more the system uses. It takes it's ease with what it gets Me, the RAM is used at 50% most of the time, but that still is ONLY 50%... Using the exact same apps and display options on my 4Gb mi Max 3 I have only 2.3Gb taken instead of 4.1... No mystery about that
About 4. : my advice is to install Fluid N.G. : will give you an opportunity to configure navigation gestures to your liking. By the way : it is permanent. So, once installed and given permissions, you'll keep that after a reboot... A must-have app for me
Regards.
no 4 is absolutely correct... Even I am also facing same problem

Hello guys!
I just got my new Red Magic 3 global variant!
I have some problems with this phone that I wanna share with you, maybe you have those as well!
1. Side touch buttons and fingerprint sensor react when touched even outside of gaming mode for example if you touch the side buttons while scrolling in chrome, scrolling becomes very slow and weird or when you touch the buttons on youtube, the youtube reacts like you clicked on the screen and shows the play, next and previous buttons!
2. The CPU usage is very very weird! I tested the cpu usage using the gaming mode and other apps and most of the time its on 80% usage (1760Hz) used or even peaks to 100% usage sometimes!
the phone stutters a bit and I believe that happens when usage is up to 100%
3. Ram managment is very very bad, most of the time I have 3Gb of ram left out of the 8GB
4. missclicking is aweful on this device! I easily click on the screen when handling it and the system reacts as I clicked on the side so sometimes my touch on the screen does nothing cause it thinks I have 2 fingers on it
5. (even without even putting the phone in my hands) Touch seems a bit weird, sometimes the touch reacts perfectly and soemtimes there is a delay of like 1s between my touch and the reaction of the screen. sometimes the touch registers but it does nothing, like clicking on recents, back or home buttons. sometimes touch doesnt work at all and I have to click on the screen again
6. There seems to be a sound recorder preinstalled but the only way to use this app is by creating a shortcut to this activity using shortcuts apps.
7. some system features are missing / not working - dark mode, adaptive battery, switching navigation buttons, pixel gestures (1 key navigation) and more
I love this phone but I hope this will be solved asap
Have you encountered these problems as well?

THAnk you.. plz reply
European build version 2.10
1 In the phone application, when I press the Russian letter e, it crashes with an error !
2 In standby mode in 8 hours it is discharged by 10-12% !
3 The manual circle of sharpness sometimes freezes in the camera, sometimes it does not appear! If you exit the photo mode and go in, the circle appears again when you click on the screen.
4 In the browser, Chrome slows down scrolling when you click on the trigger!
5 In YouTube, watching a video, when you click on a Trigger, a submenu pops up!
6 Not in game mode or in game mode with auto-tuning-Asphalt 8 twitches!
7 I found another mistake on Global 2.10: when you hold Trigger with your hand and start entering the password for wi-fi, then the passwords are not registered!
8 In the curtain, the letters wi-fi and the Internet with a swipe do not scroll from right to left !
9 European firmware 2.10.
I start from the desktop and Asphalt 8 twitches,it is twitching in game mode with the auto mode, because the automatically underestimated frequencies from the manufacturer, with the gpu auto mode turned on, stand at 257.00 and do not increase, the percentage jumps from 0.83 to 1.79. If you click from avtomoda to gpumod , then the purity of gpu increases to 499.20 percent, then dances from 1.79 and higher, but if you exit the game mode and go in, the purity of gpu drops to 345 and you need to switch back from avtomod to the GPU Mod until 499.20 appears. All of these data can be seen in game mode, in the upper, right corner.
10 Sometimes it freezes in standby mode: when you press the on, off button the screen does not light up, sometimes the curtain itself may fall when you press the on, off button !
Se presiona los boton de disparo "R" solo, incluso cuando estoy fuera del modo juego en Youtube se presiona los submenú del video. Nose si mi equipo está con falla o la firmware 2.10?
Hello there, my phone build number is EN_Common_V2.10, I got it on their website when first launched.
Here is my comment on your points:
1. That is correct for youtube, when touched the shoulder button it reacts on youtube. I just need to properly hold it then.
2. I dont have this kind of issue while gaming, mostly i play pubg mobile with super mode with Smooth Extreme, cpu usage is normal, sometimes it is throttle to max and after that, it will go back down. Maybe that because when im running into a more crowded area with full of players. I never experienced stutter while playing pubg mobile.
3. I will agree on this, at the moment i have only 2 apps running on my task manager which is whatsapp and Line messenger and my phone ram usage is 4169 MB / 7498 MB. but this doesnt affect my phone performance tho, it is still fast reponse and doing okay even after launching pubg mobile too.
4. I dont have this issue.
5. I dont have this issue.
6. I didnt know about this haha
7. Dark mode only works with CN rom, switching navigation button was not present on global rom, and mostly it is only present on CN rom.
For me, I switch on deep process clean so that any app that i am not using it will terminate its process, only apps that im using all the time that i leave it on in background, so maybe this will answer on your RAM management issue.
As for the mis-click and other touch issue, im using a case that is fit for gaming case so i dont encounter any of those issue you mentioned.

During game switching from gameboost on to gameboost off
There is no rhyme or reason as to why this is happening. I have never dropped this phone. It has never been introduced to water. I'm at a loss here. Currently I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled, I purchased the red magic docking station, I have cleared my cashed/internet history to no avail.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. FYI this phone is no more then 6 weeks out of delivery to me.
I bought REDMAGIC 5G
But after activating the device, I updated the system and then the screen did not work, as if it was in a sleep state or the system update was not completed and the operating system malfunctioned.
Can Help me please.
Hi, sorry if this was posted before, but with XDA moving to XenForo, search seems messed up, i did several searches and nothing comes up for "flicker" in this whole Pixel 4 XL Forum...
Has anyone else dealt with the low brightness screen flicker? I know it can't be just a bad phone, since i just bought three pixel 4 XL phones and they all exhibit this same behavior.
They are all running LineageOS (Official builds) so I don't know if this just affects the ROM or stock as well (although I've read it might affect stock phones too elsewhere).
It makes the phone pretty difficult to use in very low light situations, the screen will constantly flicker (more noticeable on darker backgrounds).
At first I thought it was just the Opera browser (as that's what I prefer), but it's operating system wide... Apps like "Darker" help.... because you can crank up the phone brightness and use a filter to dim the screen.... but it doesn't get the top & bottom menu/buttons, so those remain like spotlights in your eyes with that workaround.
Just curious if anyone knows whats up with this... it's the only phone I've ever seen this behavior on (and i've used Pixel 1,2,3 XL phones all with Lineage, and a myriad of other devices back in the Cyanogenmod days.... I've never seen a screen flicker issue like this).
Thanks for any help
edit / update-
the pro version of "darker" app works to fix this.... you crank the phones brightness to 100% and with the pro version you can dim the rest of the interface.
hopefully this helps anyone else suffering from this HUGE flaw (again i don't know if its just LineageOS or not, i didn't run stock on these except to unlock bootloader etc)
Hi,
I've seen it once and solved it by switching off smooth display. Not a real solution of course, but I never really noticed the difference between 90Hz and 60Hz anyway.
