Develop Bugs

Any of you install 7.1.1?

I've had the notification for a bit about the update, and I held off for a little bit awaiting to see initial reviews of overall stability of the build, changes, etc.. Seems like nobody has bothered with it from the looks of it lol.
So I'm just curious if there are any users of 7.1.1 and about their overall experience with the preview.

Using 7.1 since release. Works good so far. I have just seen one problem: Sometimes sound does not work at all until I reboot my device. Everything else seems working fine.

Hmmmm. That'd be annoying but minor. How's your battery life seem?

At the end of the day I have mostly about 30% left. I use it in university and for movies. It is like android 7. 0 in my opinion.

Same issue with sound loss. Very annoying as I use my pixel c as radio alarm. You guessed right, it's averaging about 50:50 so far. I wonder if the pixel phones have this issue, but I haven't seen any out cry and will assume not.
I'm also experiencing poor WiFi connectivity that requires frequent restarts. Whilst I know many people had this with the early builds (both soft and hard) is not something I had to deal with much. Since installing 7.1.1 I'd say it's averaging once a day.
This is what I feared when they announced that it was in beta for all but the Pixel phones: a semi-broken and half-hearted approach for all but those coming from Apple. It's pretty poor second class citizenship with El goog these days. I'm not sure I'll be buying any more of 'their' devices.

I do not know how Google broke WiFi, it is just a minor update.
Often I try to browse "You are offline"
The device sees access points but will not connect, with a device that only can communicate with WiFi this is kind of a big deal.
Reboot the device connects to access points.

Not seen any wifi problems.

I am not the only person complaining.
1) Leave it on my home access point, maybe in day get no bars.
2) Turn off/on WiFi full bars, but say connecting..... times out and does not connect
3) Press the On/off button restart
4) Works find for maybe another day
My Pixel C had zero issue now I got a WiFi but on the "Beta"

So 7.1 still beta right? I need to be on the beta channel to get it?

no, final is out, but has not rolled out everywhere yet.

I had the sound issue on both MM and N, but I haven't had it on the stable release of N yet.

5 Issues with Lineage OS on Samsung Galaxy S6

Hi All
First time really contributing to this but I feel like some super-duper hacker (not that I know anything!). I'm smart and can play around with things. I actually trained as a lawyer, went into recruitment but am now considering moving into computing! This is fun and you can be involved in projects. However my eye has developed a nasty twitch... Recruitment is dead now anyway. (Any tips on how I can begin getting into programming/app development/ XDA work etc whatever it is would be appreciated, (I literally have no idea where to go but I'd like to!)).
Anyway, back on topic:-
So...I've been up for the past 24 hours with a new laptop and at first rescuing my Samsung Galaxy S6 which got caught in a bootloop with no recovery, (had to hard reset, lost all data), upgraded Android to Nougat. It all started when I went to do a recovery boot to get Magisk to work but it all went haywire. :crying:
Happy to give you a system specs - models - builds etc, if there's a good way of doing that let me know and I'll post so you techies can take a look and see what might be the reasons behind the issues. I'm running a 'bug report' through Developer Options at the moment and can post this if useful? I have a Bug Report that I've generated if this is useful to anyone in getting to the bottom of these issues, let me know and I can send...
Ok, so with no further waffling, the issues I've seen so far in the short time I've had this lineage-14.1-20170307-UNOFFICIAL-Nexus7420-zerofltexx-2 (this is the Zip file that I found for the Samsung Galaxy S6 which I understand is only developmental at the moment, it doesn't have its own one yet?)... (in descending order of importance):-
1. Fastcharging - this is very important to me. This seems to have stopped working. How can we get this back? Potentially a dealbreaker with the ROM if this can't be sorted quickly.
2. EE I should be receiving 4G++ super duper speeds on EE. This is really impressive and is very important again. However, since flashing the ROM etc, it's only connecting to T-Mobile (a connected network to EE but doesn't benefit from their 4G++ network, EE bought T-Mobile in the UK ages ago). I've contacted EE about this as I thought it may just be a settings issue. They sent me settings though it's still not working. Potentially a dealbreaker with the ROM if this can't be sorted quickly.
3. Whatsapp VoiceNotes - I use WhatsApp voicenotes all the time; it's a crucial part of my day. Since upgrading there are two issues I can see with this:- a) there is an interference noise that ruins the clarity of each recording sent, it's there the whole time; and b) the recording itself sounds like it's slowed down and doesn't sound normal or right. At the moment this is unusabule and it's massively important, I'd imagine to most people too. Potentially a dealbreaker with the ROM if this can't be sorted quickly.
4. Magisk - The reason for embarking on the entire debacle of the past 24 hours has been to be able to hide my root. That's why I wanted Magisk in the first place so I could use the apps like banking apps and SnapChat and Virgin TV that in draconian fashion refuse to let one use them when it sees it's a rooted device. Magisk to the rescue (in theory). So when I load up Magisk Manager now under SafetyNet Check Success, the basicIntegrity option is sometimes fine though now it's showing 'X'; and 'ctsProfile:false' is permanently showing. I've hidden Google Play Services and Google Play as I read this can cause issues. It does show #superuser in the dropdown and I'm not sure if this is a legacy from SuperSu I had before (don't think so as I did a complete reboot) or if this is part of the app?
5. Torch - torch option on settings panel doesn't seem to yield any torchlight at all. I wonder if other apps work or if there's anything the techies can do here?
Thanks so much for reading and I look forward to helping or assisting in solving in whatever way I can.

So in addition to these I've also discovered a further three issues:-
6. WhatsApp camera not working - you can take a photo within WhatsApp but it doesn't progress to the launch screen to the next screen to send the photo. Strangely, video clips do seem to work...
7. Bluetooth headset doesn't seem to be working anymore
8. Sky Sports App once you get past permissions and everything to watch the show it freezes on the loading step. I imagine this is something to do with the modified ROM/Kernel?

9. I'll also add in here that call volume and volume in general seem really low.
As a result of these nine bugs I'm going to have to revert back to an older version, quite possibly Stock Android, unfortunately... :crying:

Just bought Pixel 2 XL. Should I revert to Oreo?

So I have been 1 day with the phone, but I am thinking about reverting to Oreo for two reasons:
1) Maybe better stability/better in overall right now?
2) Xposed and more customization might worth it?
I wonder If Oreo is better for thiese reasons at the moment, just maybe because of Xposed and Gravitybox. But I have no idea actually. I also wonder If GB makes the phone laggier or less snappy (with Nexus 5X I noticed it)
These are some example of the things I would expect to work better in 8.0
- I feel ringtone/notification volume too low....
- I would like to customize led notification (more frequent blink....), customize button nav bar....as well as many other things GB might be able to do
- Facial recognition is not working at all, always need to use fingerprint which also does not work every time
- Also the voice recognition (assistant) is not working properly! For ok Google detection neither...
So I have the feeling 9.0 maybe does not worth it too much at this moment.
Thank you for your responses!

1. I've had a 2 XL since launch and I've noticed no difference in stability between 8.0 and 9.0. Both have been extremely smooth for me. As for "better overall," that's subjective.
2. That's also subjective.
-I'm not aware of a decrease in volume parameters in 9.0, so you would have to use xposed and/or modify system files to increase this. If you want to use xposed, you'll have to go back to 8. If you want to modify system files, you can do that on either version.
-I can't comment on facial recognition because I've never used it. As for fingerprint recognition, I've noticed no difference between 8.0 and 9.0. If it's really bad, it might be a hardware problem. I actually had to RMA a phone because fingerprints almost never worked. The replacement usually works unless the scanner or my fingers are dirty/sweaty/oily and in that case, wiping it off fixes the issue.
-Voice recognition works perfectly on my phone for both 8.0 and 9.0, so I doubt that downgrading will change that for you.

Ok, thank you very much, it helps.
So it seems is not about software. Maybe I will consider RMA.
I have another question, about voice recording (whatsapp), is it any commun issue that audio record does not cancell pretty well the noise in whatsapp? apparently calls are ok but whatsapp messages sound very noise and metallic

Redmi note 8 pro - android 10 bugs

Not at all stable to use as daily driver.
1 - No notifications after some times when the phone is ideal you have to open the app, like they are in deep sleep. gave all permissions like auto start, battery restriction none, no data restrictions.
2 - Bluetooth earphones gets disconnected randomly, usually when you lock unlock the device.
3 - Wifi speed degrade when you use Bluetooth and wifi at the same time.
4 - whatsapp video call are still lagging, connecting issue, other phones on the same network works fine.
5 - Battery backup degraded by at least 30%
6 - camera quality is noticeably degraded.
7 - fast charging not working with tbe official charger as well
and there are many more.
please post your work around for this bugs, it will be helpful as xiaomi is not going to launch any update sooner looking at ter track records.

I think you need to do a factory reset.
Battery is exactly the same for me as Android 9.
Camera quality is the same too.
Fast charging works for me with default charger.
Don't know about the rest.

Already did reset 3 times, thought my old google backup setting is the issue, even after setting up without restoring the backup this issues are there, specially the notification, Bluetooth and wifi issue.

I didn't noticed that many problems like you, only the battery performance lost, I went from 10 hours of screen on time, to around 6-7, factory reset from recovery didn't help, but that was enough reason for me to dare to unlock the bootloader, so I went back to MIUI 11.0.3 based on android 9, now I have my 10 hours of screen on time and I'm more than happy, the only feature I miss from android 10, was the wifi dynamic MAC address

So have you downgraded back to android 9
Can you please help me how to do so

Can't we download android 9 package from mi website and install as package in update settings?

1. Not happening here.
2. Also not happening.
3. This is normal if you use 2.4Ghz wifi + bluetooth, wifi always slow - READ WHY
4. This is Whatsapp issue, not phone specific. Try other such as Line or Duo. I only found lags on Whatsapp.
5, 6, 7. Not happening to me.
About battery, try flashing old one via Mi Flash > flash & clean all (don't lock back).

i am talking about Indian variant, various users have already raised this issues, also mi developers had confirm this notification issue and forwarded it to there developers.
2 - this was not there before day i switched to andorid 10 even after reseting 2 times i am facing this issue
3 - This wasnt the thing on android 9 that is the problem
4 - tried telegram duo, even the calls are not coming. forget about mesgs.
6 - this is also confirmed by many users

I'm in last version and Android 10 but don't have any of this problems in my phone! Performance is better than Android 9 and everything is fine! You must do a factory reset to fix this problems.

I am also on android 10 on the indian variant and I can confirm that the 1st issue which is about no notifications after some time is happening to me also. Although I don't know about the rest. About charging and battery backup, I think it is same as before.

I'm only facing the notification issue mentioned in the tread. Everything same, miui 11.0.2 android 10. All settings tested. Also tried pnf app. No use. Another symptom is when I open WhatsApp all the messages are delivered only then. Have allowed it to run in background, disabled power saving, all notification allowed, auto start permission given.

anyone noticing bluetooth mac is changed to 00:00:46:00:00:01?
maybe this causing the bluetooth disconnection issue?
I just noticed it on both of my RN8pro running Indonesian fw Android 10.

Mine upgraded yesterday throught OTA to MIUI 11.0.4(QGGIXM)/Andorid 10.
I came from the Andoird 9 and everything was good, but after the upgrade my GPS in Dual Space and Second Space can´t lock my postion.
Tried to hard reset 3 times and reflashed this ROM manualy and nohing. I still have the bootloader locked and can´t downgrade now.
I made some tests using app GPS test, in te upper screen is the "normal" app and in the bottom s the dual app that can´t lock the GPS, same thing happens in the second space.
After search a lot, people say that is better to downgrade, so anyone have this issue here or a solution for it?

I can confirm the wifi/BT bug, and it sucks!
How does Xiaomi get the feedback on this bugs? Is there still testing even though this is the "stable" version?

No, not yet. It is a pain and I will do it if it is really necessary, I'm not sure if that would work. Anyway I saw the link that someone posted earlier that this kind of interference is a common problem; I never new about it or noticed it. On my PC there is some slowing down also, but not as dramatic as on the RN8P.

So basically it is common problem for all phones or even all device's?
Is it worse on A10 that on A9?

It is very common (if you use 2.4GHz WiFi); you'd need beamforming to get over it. But not all devices are the same - it depends on device quality and antenna separation (for example, laptops with Intel/Killer wifi modules are much less affected by it, while Raspberry Pis are having serious trouble doing both at the same time).
Of course, this only applies in 2.4GHz. Switch to 5GHz, and you'll have no more problems.

When to do factory reset? After updating or before updating?

What do you use on your Nexus 7 in 2022?

Just curious to see what people use this tablet for these days. I'm trying to find a good use for mine and am coming to the conclusion that if you want what has features its going to come with issues. But Lineage is quite fast just no features.
Curious on others opinions!

Having installed a12 I was disappointed with its work (compared to stock a6). The rom works fine (except for quick settings, the curtain always lags) until additional programs are installed
Then disappointed in the A12, I decided to switch to the A11, namely the OFFICIAL latest CRDROID. It also started to work worse when a bunch of programs I needed appeared, but not so, it could be in use. However, when I tried to listen to music all night because of him, he was unloading Spotify (he seems to have serious problems with working with RAM. Of course, another reason is 2 GB of RAM)
I also had a strange bug that the tablet completely hung, and after restarting the ROM broke. The blind did not want to open completely, there were problems with the software.
As a result, I returned to a12, put fewer programs, tried to configure the kernel, the system to be more or less comfortable to use it. Of course, this is not the level of a6 or a9, but if you want Something new, cool design, why not.
In my opinion, it is better to use the 9-11 android, as well as install the kernel with overclocking, it is very necessary here.
I'm still new to using this device, so I haven't used much ROM, but it's probably in the future

From here ... > ... The best
No need to look at a high Android!

CrDroid isn't broken but it does have an odd systemUi bug likely to the system partition and other things being so outdated. Whenever restarting the tablet it will continue to respring until it decides to boot the best way to handle this is just to leave it be I've found that more often then not it will eventually start up, other times it refuses to start at all and I will have to reboot again most times I try to refrain from turning it off. Unfortunately this seems like the only way to get good features for this tablet. Wishing someone would take interest like forkLineage or EvoX perhaps

I agree, although I prefer pixel experience (and the like).
As for the CRDROID ... My problem was that the curtain does not open, and many programs were not launched, and there was an arrow in the bar, which is displayed only when the navigation bar is two Buttons, and I had gestures enabled) Very strange, actually. It's funny that it all started after the ROM crashed .. I still wanted to try at least lineage 18.1, but after reinstalling a12 I'm too lazy

Running unofficial LineageOS 17.1. I don't really use the tablet or anything really. My touch screen doesn't really work, along with the tilt sensor. It's really slow which is to be expected. I use my Fire 7 since it's faster and less frustrating to use.

I pulled my old nexus out from the cupboard a few weeks ago and was amazed that the battery still had decent life after yrs not being used. I managed to unlock bootloader and install twrp before the micro USB charging port stopped working. I now have DotOS android 9 installed and am using the nexus as my eReader, charging via Qi wireless
