Hello.
I buy mi Mi 8 whit a broken IR camera and noting work to fix it.
Gues is a hardwear problem.
I im using only custom android pie ACIP wich is for me the best rom.
But i want to use face unlock. My IR camer is broken.
I wonder can some one give me advice or make mi fix to use the primary front face camera for face unlocking.
I really miss this future for android devices.
Thank you for your time.

1) Just upgraded from a redmi6 which I was perfectly happy with except its blurry/noisy camera especially in low light conditions. Turned out upgrading to a mi8 was not a solution at all, same issue in low light conditions A driver/app optimization by Xiaomi is really required.
2) Compared to my redmi 6 camera flash (which is so powerful that it can burn your finger if you place on it) the mi8 camera flash is not as bright and has a more yellowish light. I don't know if it is supposed to be like that, so a discussion on this would he helpful to find out the truth.
3) Besides the above issues now I also lost the ability to activate the Google voice assistant by simply saying Ok Google since the options are grayed out. Did a research on the net and found out that there are hundreds of topics people facing the same issue, mainly with the mi8 besides some other Xiaomi phones. I believe there is some sort of incompability with miui10 which has to be fixed asap.
4) Where is face id? I don't want to change my region to china/india or hassle with stuff like trying to flash the Chinese version Rom, it just doesn't make sense.
5) Please correct me if I am wrong but as I remember the mi8 has a Samsung Amoled screen panel. It's not that it looks bad at all but my colors look really washed out compared to other amoled screen phones I compared side by side. Tried other color options in the settings but it didn't help improving it at all either.
My device: Mi 8 Global Version \ Miui 10.0.3.0 Global Stable
Any help and suggestion is welcome since I am really frustrated with this device. The redmi6 was an excellent phone based on its given price, how can a flagship device be so bad compared to its cheap budget phone? (Not to mention it lacks a 3,5mm headset and micro sd slot which the redmi6 had) Just not acceptable at all, I am really considering to leave the Xiaomi brand for sth else if these issues are not going to be fixed any soon.
Flash is like that for a more natural tone. OK Google is fixed in global beta so wait for an update. Face id is the same as OK Google. The color look OK to me but you can fine tune them in settings. For the night camera wait a bit for that famous update and install Google camera and you will not be disappointed

Global stable does have a problem with the camera. Miui 9 is even better in term of camera. The solution is to flash global developer rom. It has a better camera and more features.
If you like to use 3rd party app, Try gcam bsg it perform even better

About flashlight, i rarely use it. I only use it for light in the dark. It perform good compare to my other devices (op3t, mi4c). I didnt pay attention to yellowish light.

Google assitant only work from global developer rom 8.11.23 and above. I dissapointed with xiaomi effort to fix 'ok google'. But since xiaomi need to maintain two different rom (chinese and global) and it seem they take more effort in the chinese rom (because china rom have more features and better camera performance, but it doesnt have gapps on it). This is why ok google is not yet to be fix on the stable rom.
I know this is not an excuse because xiaomi sell globaly.

Try global developer rom. Face id is working flawlessly.

I've never compare the panel side by side with the samsung amoled. I've compared it to op3t amoled it doesnt seem wash out.
If you compare it to ips panel, you will notice a little yellowish color, but imo a more natural color.

I want to thank all of you a lot for the good news and the relief you caused, it is really nice to have you guys on xda helping out and clearing minds, I really appreciate it thx for the info.
You'll still have to change the region to India or similar to get face unlock on global dev.

Face ID is not working in a lot of regions in Europe (probably some UE regulations), but I heard that Italy is working. I'd suggest you to change your region to Indonesia - it's not affecting you in any way, but enables Face ID without all this Indian crap like notifications from Music app and so on
Hello, I can confirm that Face ID works selecting Italy as region.
Still no sign of OK Google working, though.
MIUI 10.0.3.0 stable (Global)
Hi everyone,
The note 9 is the great device, and project treble make a even better. But there is a strange conflict with GSI and the phone.
On the stock ROM Hotword Ok Google, works even if the screen is off, but with GSI or sGSI work only if the screen is on.
Trusted face doesn't work too, but the front camera work great with the Gcam for example.
If someone, knows how to fix that, or why is that, please help, me and someone else will be very thankful.
Note 9 (N960FD) Exyon

I have the same problem ..any solution???
My fingerprint sensor on my Mi 11 doesn't on any generic system images that I use. On each one it asks for a fingerprint on the back sensor even though the Mi 11 has one integrated into the screen. It doesn't sense any touch that I do. Does anyone know a fix for this?
There is no fix for it, and it has been stated a lot of times in every gsi rom.
It is normal for gsi roms to have that bug. It can only be fixed when somebody makes a device specific gsi rom.. And that only will be happening when we got a normal working twrp and we get hooked on the gsi programms by somebody.
You wouldve know this if you just used the search function..
Thanks, I assumed that was reason. I also realized that I have no sound. Is there an easy fix for that?
All the bugs you are facing are not really fixable untill we get an active developper.
Hi there! I recently bought Xiaomi 12 Pro Gloabl MIUI 13 and I faced really annoying problem. The proximity sensor does not work and it did not pass the test. Allays shows 5.0 at the test no mater if the sensor is covered or not. And the real problem, the big one is face ID does not work at dark, like there is no IR at all and that is great issue for me, because this makes phone completely useless for me while traveling at night.
What I red the proximity sensor is virtual instead of hardware and it makes problems and user waiting for software solution for years. OK, but what about IR camera for face ID. Is it integrated in this phone or not. I find no answer.
Planning to switch to xiaomi.eu rom hoping for fix, but...lookin for solutions with golobal rom, because I use a lot of banking apps that I`m not sure if they work wit unlocked bootloader.
There is no IR cam, just the regular one.
That's not a 12 Pro only issue, most phones behave the same in the dark.
You can however use the fingerprint, so where's the point of calling the device useless at night?

The point is, when the phone is in holder I just tap on the screen and it unlocks by face ID immediately. That`s I have used with Mi8 till now. Fingerprint of 12 Pro is very slow compare to Mi8 and mostly unlocks with second try.
Well I have to adjust to new lack of hardware, but quite expensive Xiaomi

Try to register your finger a second time as an additional finger. This could help to speed up the recognition.
I faced proximity sensor problems with my 11T Pro but the 12 Pro is working great. I use the fingerprint which for me is lightening fast. Unfortunately without the front IR sensor, no photos going to work like iPhone when it comes to face I'd.

Hi did you try to move the phone towards your hand during the test? because this movement simulates the gesture of answering a call.
Enable double tap to wake, then unlock with index finger
PS Don't use phone while travelling
