Hey guys,
i got my a2 lite today and updated it to Android 9.0
After connecting it to my WH-1000XM3 Headphones, it shows only SBC?
Is this a bug from the new update?
I tried the headphones on a other model of the same smartphone with android 8.1 and they were connected with aac.
So I'm wondering, if this is caused by the new Android version?
Does somebody have the same problem?
AAC is missing. I've tried all of my aptX & AAC gear including my new ATH-M50BTx and they will not move past SBC. Really disappointing. Oreo had it.
Than we can only hope, that they fix it with the next update...
What a shame.
Is this a measure to reduce licensing cost, or just an omission?
It might be worth repeating on the official Mi forum to raise the profile?

This would quickly make me buy another phone and dump both of the A2 Lites I own. AAC is the minimum any phone of this caliber should be capable of
I reported this in the "Feedback" app, and I highly recommend others do as well.
I want a Nokia 7.1 but the tiny battery really turns me away for that price.
I also reported it in the official forum of mi.
But yes, it is a shame. That's probably the reason why I'm gonna return the phone.
But what is an alternative?
Theres a magisk module for that.
That's weird. On my A2 Lite I've got working AAC with my WH-H900N . My version of software is V10.0.2.0 (Android 9) .
And yet with Magisk module you can get even aptX.

That's indeed really weird. What version of the a2 lite do you have?
I bought mine (Global Version) over Amazon. And had the V10.0.2.0.PDLMIFJ Version
Or was there another update?
About the Magisk-tipp i've read some posts, that this doesn't work.
Only SBC with Anker Soundbuds Slim+
On V.10.0.3.0.PDLMIXM only SBC with Anker Soundbuds Slim+
Solved the problem with rooting my device and install the necessary libraries over Magisk.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/port-aptx-aptxhd-oreo-8-0-update-jan-t3731151
Now i can use my headphones with APTX-HD
Seems like Google is saying this is down to Xiaomi to include the right libraries - this is not good.

But in Oreo AAC was supported at least.
So just root your device and install the missing libraries.
It's really easy
I am thinking of getting the Poco F3, but I would not want to use MIUI and would prefer to use a custom rom.
I watched this video and don't know if what this guy is saying is true or not.
Would it be worth buying this phone if I am only going to be using a custom ROMs, or should I pay more for a phone that has better software by Oneplus, Samsung etc...?
I've used custom ROMs in the past, but it was mainly because my old phone no longer received support. I am on Lineage OS on my Oneplus 5t.
Thanks!
I picked up the Poco F3 BECAUSE there were custom ROMS and there are a few that are already really good so I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. I may even buy another one and sell my 512GB S21 Ultra. (Update, bought another F3) Don't pay attention to that guy on Youtube, do what you want to do.

Yeah I totally agree. This device is cheap and has all the qualities of a flagship killer. All the devs are interested in it and are buying it to develop for it. So in the future expect to get a ton of Custom Roms and Mods for F3.
You cant go wrong with this device.
Period
Yeah i agree.
Totally agree . I recently picked up one after selling my 3A only for custom rom. I hate MIUI and have already initiated steps to unlock the bootloader to flash custom rom.
I had an redmi 7A and when i saw the bloatware on miui my eyes popped out Jesus Christ.
Not to mention to root the stock rom you need to patch the boot.img specially for this phone and to mention it was 32bit rom on a 64bit CPU arghhh!!!!!
I only bought this device because it had superb hardware for the price and I could flash custom ROMs.
I believe in the community of the custom ROMs and think it is a great deal, I was thinking of getting some oneplus or even Nokia phones but I realized it is one of the best that we could get so enjoy flashing
Why would you even go towards Nokia..? Oneplus i get it but Nokia...

Hey mate, just flash my F3 right after one week of waiting for bootloader.
Gona say YES, IT IS FREAKING WORTH IT.
Come from Galaxy S9, after so tired with the bloat of Samsung, I flashed LOS, and man it is fast.
But, with my F3 on ArrowOS, right now, it is insanely fast.
Just buy it, you will not regret. But it is my personal opinion. The choice is your.
Within the price range, F3 already deiminated all other option. But with custom ROM, it decimates even the flagship

Just buy it. Performance to price point, nothing wins Poco F3
The only downside is the MIUI that comes with it which is sluggish and buggy. I flashed mine to ArrowOS and loving the device more now.
Have sticked to MIUI 12 and upgraded to MIUI 12.5 where they removed multiple Do Not Disturb schedules, that is when i know is time for me to flash the rom
Ok just watched the video.
His logic makes no sense at all! According to him buying a windows pc and putting Linux on it would be equally stupid. And the "paid devs" are less likely to unleach the full potential of a device then the "unpaid devs" because of model postioning and other commercial conciderations. So... still glad I bought my F3 for the custom roms
just bought poco f3 and I can tell you the MIUI isn't so bad (12.5.3) it is super smooth and with lots of features and configuration in it (double tap to wake and sleep, double fingerprint for flashlight..) themes are also rich. The main weak point is camera app that is not as developed as gcam but... you can instal gcam ports (8.1) that already work very well!! So yes this phone is sort of perfect.
Hi people,
I am looking for a custom ROM for Poco F3 that has the following:
1. Allows you to hide apps from the app list; not just lock the apps. For now I use LineageOS and I use a separate launcher and AppHider
2. Ideally, comes without GApps or G services. I'd love to try GrapheneOS but it comes for Pixel devices only
3. Allows multiple instances of apps eg. Whatsup,etc. I have seen this in a custom ROM but dont remember which one
Also, why do all the threads about F3 refer to 11x and K40?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a l lot

Xiaomi = main brand
Mi, Poco, and Redmi = sub-brands
Mi focus on high end flagship phones, Poco focus on mid end performance phones. Redmi focus on lower end value for money phones
Mi 11x, Poco F3, and Redmi K40 are the same phone targeting different regions with different launch date.
I read about some problems like:
- Proximity sensor
- Some ads in the rom
and some other bugs and that is disappointed after all...
Xiaomi MIUI software is not good about all? I think they not going to fix the proximity sensor.
Or that is better buying some OnePlus device?
Xiaomi.EUI is better than Global and debloated?
proximity sensor is definitely an issue when you're in a call the screen does not lock properly, anything software related can be fixed only time will tell if it's a good device, for me i always buy phones around $400 so this one was my go to choice

But you have devices like OnePlus 9R or maybe some Realme or something..
OP has better software
I have some previous device at my home and with same issue after ton of updates so.. Xiaomi doesnt fixed the problems..
oneplus 9R is $100 more, as i said software don't count, i never use stock roms anyway, i only lock boot loader when i'm selling or giving the phone away other wise it's the build quality that counts, i had oneplus 8t for a few months and i was disappointed because i thought buying a more expensive phone would make a difference and 9r is the same i skipt all previous generations of poco and i still think f3 is worth every penny

if you're buying a phone and want clean software out of the box, Pixel phones are ur best bet for a budget, they are the closest manufacturer to apple when if comes to reliability, all other brands have buggy software at best, oxygen os might look like stock aosp but it's very poorly designed.

Depends, if you plan to play heavy game (genshin impact for example), it's a perfect "budget" phone. But if playing isn't your primary goal, there are better globally phone.
Proximity sesnsor has been fixed to a degree (I don't notice a problem on my unit at all), of course there will be more firmware updates to iron out the rest of the minor kinks.
I don't game or use the camera too much, it was between this phone and the Redmi Note 10 Pro (I didn't want an olrder device from Xiaomi simply because one more year worth of updates is well worth the trade off).
For me, the price difference would have been minor if I got the 8/128GB version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro instead of the 8/256GB Poco F3.
So I went with the better looking, better built, better performing, better features (120Hz AMOLED, Dolby and X-Axis Haptics) and IMHO the better value phone (Xiaomi.EU China rom versus Xiaomi.EU Global rom on the Redmi Note 10 Pro).

Well, redmi note 10 pro has 120hz amoled and Dolby. The camera is better, if he isn't planning to game at all, I would go for the redmi note 10 pro, the built quality is better, the camera is superior, but the chipset is too weak to really play.

My bads Redmi Note 10 Pro indeed has 120Hz but no Dolby.
He needs to decide what's important to him, performance or camera or spend more for both.

How much I need to spend more for the both things?
Not take pictures a lot but yeah play games.
I read that the proximity sensor is hardware problem.
Maybe OnePlus 9R for better software and without bugs?
I don't get all the fuzz about the proximity sensor. It's "weird" in that it combines accelerometer and camera, but it does work, unless you make phone calls while lying down on the bed. I've had no issues with it whatsoever.
OnePlus 9R is a great alternative, the main camera support OIS and it has the same chipset as the Poco F3.
And yes with more optimized and arguably better software, it's pretty affordable too.
Perhaps if you wait a bit more after the summer, we might see a Mi 11T and Galaxy S21 FE.

So maybe 9R worth it? yeah that is 100$ more but you got better software..
But if you got the 9R.. you can added 100$ more and got the regular Oneplus 9... so..
Write down your reason to buy new phone.
Write your need in priority order, we are not you, we don't know your situation. Worth or not is subjective.
Camera, SoC, local price of phone, warranty, system update, community, reason to buy phone, where you live, budget limit ... etc.
Remember, no compare no despair. Get use to phone you buy.
Suggest you buy all, Poco F3 + OnePlus 9R + OnePlus 9. Worth? Yes worth, 2 for me and you keep one. Worth for me.

You have the option of stopping some adds, uncheck all kinds of miui optimization, referrence, suggestion, feedback, also some option ull find in developer mode. I have done it in mu Poco F1, didnt find a single add in 2years of use. I havent bought the F3 yet but hopefully its the same principle. You can remove bloatware via xiaomi fastboot tool. U dont need to unlock the bootloader.
It seems mostly that you're searching reasons to not get the Poco F3 instead of asking if is worth or not
In your case, get a OnePlus 9R/9 or a Pixel phone and you will be fine, their software is easily a ton better that Xiaomi MIUI and they shouldn't have the issues you mentioned either (Proximity sensor and ads)
I agree, he's nitpicking at the flaws of phone instead of thinking of what he needs in a phone and comparing it with the competition.
There's no perfect phone out there regardless of money and just for record, "I don't like Apple products".
Will be an oxygen os for poco f3?
I see there are oxygenOs custom roms for other xiaomi phones. Do they work without problems? I have oneplus5 and soon poco f3. But i prefer oxygenOs over miui.
grp is there they are working on it but wont expect it soon coz of bugs, they will release after fixing major bugs
I will have soon a poco f3, but i don't know if i open it... I have oneplus5 right now and i like oxygen os. Should i sell it for oneplus8t?
Yep, opt8 has strong battery life.

Is there any way to get dolby atmos in lisa? (I have Indian variant)
I don't like the sound quality at all in this phone and I mainly bought it for media purpose so if there's any way then please answer.
exactly this i was about to ask in this group..dolby in redmi note 10 pro is just awesome...i wonder, why that is not available on 11 lite NE even with latest EU 12.5.9 ! sad !
It is unlikely that such a feature gets added later. Guess there will be some license fee to be paid per device for the installation. Why should Xiaomi pay these fees for already sold units without this feature?

Then why are we paying such hefty amount for this device because it's not worth the amount they are asking for.
There are too many bugs in UI, black crush issue, and dolby vision is useless because the brightness is not at all suitable for it and also the HDR in youtube or netflix does not turn up the brightness automatically. Even the cheaper phones have dolby atmos. And this phone's not at all worth it if they're not fixing issues and adding dolby atmos.

Well the build quality is good and it has good camera for the price range with 5g. Other phones compramise camera or performance or build quality like samsung, they give plastic back. The performance of miui is good and the extra cost is for engeneering such slim and lite phone. This phone is not meant for gaming or entertainment. It's the slimmest modern phone.
This is very dissapointing that Xiaomi did not provided Dolby sound in mi 11 lite series. They provided this feature in cheap phones (redmi note 10). I know that it is less likely that they will gonna provide it through next update.
Even though we should send our massege to Xiaomi to provide Dolby sound. So they can atleast no that their customers are not satisfied.
For that who is reading this go to services and feedback in your Xiaomi 11 lite smartphone. Type and send the massege to provide Dolby sound in their next update.
Send that massege two or three times.
Hi !
Knowing that all variants of Xiaomi Mi 11 lite / lite 5G / Xiaomi lite 5G NE are already finalized products, so there should not be any update that integrates Dolby Atmos.
In theory, Dolby Atmos certified products incorporate speakers certified by Dolby. If the smartphone wasn't Dolby certified when it was made, the speakers aren't either. It is therefore not possible to obtain this certification.
It also costs Xiaomi money. It's like IP68 certifications, Gorilla Glass etc... The more the smartphone is certified, the more expensive it is sold.
It will therefore be necessary to be satisfied with stereo sound without Dolby Atmos.
By rooting and installing Magisk it may be possible to find a Dolby mod but in any case, the sound will not be officially Dolby sound.

Don't you know about Mi 11X?
It got dolby atmos through OTA update. Then why couldn't they do the same with this phone?
Hi !
I'm not sure but apparently the MI 11X had the speakers already compatible (certified) Dolby Atmos but the software was not installed.

Although the sound quality is good. It looks like the sound is too loud at lower levels also. You'll find that the unlock sound itself is too loud. We kind of loose the volume control which is kind of annoying. If you're planning to root just because of this, I'd advice not to.
