Is there way to completely disable lock screen, no swipe, just turn screen on? Developer options, Skip screen lock doesn't stay enabled. Root, Xposed, Tasker... any method is welcome.
Tested, it works for me, MIUI 8 latest global. Firstly, go to Lock screen setting, turn off Lock then go to Developer options, "Skip screen lock" will be enabled. Done
I have xiaomi.eu weekly 6..11.24 rom currently and it does not stay enabled, when i go back from Developer options to Additional settings and return, it is disabled again.
Do you have stable or developer version and helium or hydrogen (i have hydrogen)?
Hydrogen last global stable, I dont have this issue, I have tryed a few times now.

After updating to 3.2.8 I have issue unlocking the phone. Using my Fingerprint used to unlock it but now it just turns on the screen and asks me to draw the line and underneath it it says 'emergency'. (it does not say that it didn't read my Fingerprint)
Any idea what to do?

I dont want to sound stupid but did you set your fingerprint to unlock phone?

I've seen no such option to set or remove it (and it used to work before the upgrade)
Sometimes it does unlock and sometimes just turns on the screen and sends me to unlock via pattern (again, it didn't fail to recognize my Fingerprint)
Edit :
The issue was with Nova launcher, I had to go to 'advanced settings' and give it root access so it will be able to open the phone normally without asking for pattern

Hi,
Question, just did a clean install and setting up my phone.
Before i reflashed my phone I could tap on the padlock on the lockscreen to enter my pattern to unlock the phone but it doesn't work anymore.
I always have to swipe up before I can enter the pattern.
If I remember correctly, it was a setting (or a combination of settings) to get it work but I can't remember...
It was working on both 8.1 and Android P DPx
Any ideas?

It is working for me. I'm on stock 8.1 rooted ROM. I actually always tap on the padlock instead of swiping as sometimes when swiping up I need to do it 3-4times until it unlocks the screen. It's easier just to tap on the padlock. However I don't use any pattern or fingerprint security... ?
Prior to rooting, I had set up smart lock. Now I've rooted with Magisk and Smart Lock will not work. When I go into settings, it asks for my unlock pattern, but will not open the smart lock settings menu. None of the devices or locations will unlock the phone either.
Has anyone rooted with Magisk and have smart lock working?

I had this issue one time before. I had to disable trust agents, reboot the phone, then enable them again followed by an additional reboot. Maybe this will work.

Hi All
Please excuse me if this has been answered before, I have a brand new Mi A2 Lite, all seems to be working fine but when I try to encrypt the phone (requirement for work) then it does into an endless reboot recycle and never completes so I have to do a forced wipe and reboot of the phone to get it back to a useable state, I am new to the whole Android experience so don't fully understand all the terminology used in these forums so please be gentle with me
I also do not see any option to update the phone even though it keeps telling me that it couldn't install system updates, so if you can help with that as well I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Mark

The phone always has encryption. You can enable a password too. Settings -> Security -> Screen Lock. What exactly did you do?

Settings -> Security -> Security Update
You need develooer mode in to use adb. Then see the section If the OTA fails on this guide.

I go into Settings > Security & Privacy > Encryption & Credentials and then select Encrypt Phone, it tells me it needs to be fully charged and pulled in and then I select encrypt, it then goes into a reboot loop and needs to be hard reset, so never actually encrypts it.
I don't see Security Update in the security settings even after enabling developer mode.
Sorry for sounding stupid but I am new to all this

Are you on Oreo or Pie? What version number do you see in Settings -> About?
Eg. My phone says android version 9 (that's pie) and build number PKQ1.180917.001.10.0.14.0.PDLMXIM (that's the September update).
I found that encryption screen burried under advanced.
My phone is already encrypted. No option to disable. That's what this phone does. Custom ROMs need a special encryption disabler.

That's definitely not standard for Pie. I'm fairly certain it's not how Oreo worked either...

Hmm...
If you're on Oreo the update screen will be in a different place. I normally go Settings -> System -> Advanced -> System Update.
There have been people who bought A2 Lite but got a hacked Redmi Pro 6 instead... Don't panic yet, but if things are seeming odd... Look at this thread for some signs your phone was tampered with.

Mi A2 Lite already comes encrypted by default. I know this because I use an work profile too.
I can be wrong, bit are you sure you got a genuine Mi A2 Lite, with the official ROM? Go to Settings -> About Device. Post a screenshot, please.
I've had a similar issue with 2 devices (32 and 64 gb variants), both phones unencrypted themselves without me doing something weird, the normal behavior with an encrypted phone is that when you reboot or turn on the device it asks for a pin to fully boot, but my phones after some usage skipped that step and boot without the pin, after that I cant re enable encryption unless I wipe the phones, both aren't redmi 6 pro because i checked and they receive every monthly update without any problem, i'm guessing it is a memory issue ( read somewhere mi a1 and a2 had eMMC problems)

Thanks, so it would appear I have been sold a fake phone, following the instructions I appear to have a Redmi Pro 6, so the next question is how can I get this phone to a state where I can encrypt it.
Many thanks

First double check which your model is through fastboot using:
Code:
fastboot getvar
if you receive a code sakura then your model is Redmi 6Pro and the better would be returning it completely to stock or you´ll have more troubles in the way.
Just received the update to Android 11. MIUI version is V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM. If you want to update go to Settings > MIUI Version > Update settings and check receive updates early' (Note this is a beta build).

Android 11 screwed up system gesture navigation in 3rd party launchers (again). I've just returned to 3 button nav bar + edge gestures app. Now I have the best out of both worlds. Quick and easy to use nav bar and also swipe gestures.

Thanks, I had tried setting the stock launcher to check if this was the case to no avail. Evidently I hadn't opened the home screen to let it load. Now have it working with no custom launcher and very slow animations... Hope MIUI can fix this soon.

I find stock animations very slow too (be it "clean" Android or MIUI) - enabling 0.5x speed for all animations in developer settings feels much snappier.
Btw. it's not a fault of MIUI, this time Google is to blame.

Yeah I've since found other complaints of broken gesture navigation with third party launchers on Samsung devices. I guess hopefully it's either patched in upstream Android by Google or Xiaomi patch it within MIUI.
Unfortunately, the MIUI stock launcher and Recents doesn't respect the 0.5% animation speed setting!
I've also found that you can no longer change individual app dark mode settings. The app list is just empty, still respects any that were setup prior to the update though.

I can't comment on stock launcher as I'm on Nova launcher, but recents screen seems to be snappy. I don't use it that often though, so maybe it's with 100% speed.
I can still change individual apps in dark mode - but only when the dark mode is active. It takes about 3 seconds for list of all apps to appear though, on the first sight the feature seems missing/broken.
The two main things I've noticed is the notification led is now bright enough to actually be useful.
And on poco launcher 2 if you keep pressing back to exit from an app or push the home button sometimes you get the apps icon appearing at the top left of the screen for a few seconds for some reason.
But if you switch to system launcher and back again this bug goes away until you restart the device.

Are you sure that you are flashing the same version of ROM as you have currently installed? You can use recovery update only from the very same region - Global or EU or China or Russia or another.

You might find the culprit with logcat - enable usb debugging, start "adb logcat" on the PC with the phone connected and run the update again. There should be an error message displayed with more details.

Hello, for some reason it is working now. It is currently updating. How can I later update from beta to stable, or is it already stable?
