Hi xda people,

I have a px3 (800x480 W) with an XRC2 MCU, which is the latest for my model, and a custom ROM (although that doesn't really matter for this issue). I have a problem a really weird problem on bluetooth, that happened while on stock ROM and now on the custom ROM as well:

If I'm starting the call, people hear me with a 2-second lag. It is infuriating, as it seems that I'm talking in slow motion. If it is a received call, it doesn't happen.

Anyone with the same problem that can help me? Or anyone with some kind of idea on how to solve it?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
Only Xiaomi could provide a link to download it.

Or, it could be possible to dump the partitions from a phone that still runs on that version, by unlocking its bootloader and using some terminal commands and/or adb. But it's a headache doing so.

A friend of mine has a device that is running 9.6.2.0 but at now it has bootloader locked ...

Unfortunately the unlocking comes with a full data wipe and so ... I am managing with it the thing ... ;)

My idea is hot boot to custom recovery the device running 9.6.2.0 and perform only a system nandroid backup and flash it to the device that is running 9.6.4.0

Is it a bad idea ??

I don't know, it should work but I don't know if the radio partitions (probably the only partitions that could fix the bug) are included in the nandroid backup.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
Another remote possibility is that your phone was on 9.6.2.0, then you updated via OTA to 9.6.4.0 and you stopped updating. Only in that case, in the inactive slot there will be still the 9.6.2.0 versions of the partitions.

Hi, I confirm it.

In early August I bought a MI A2 lite in Italy that came out with V.9.6.2.0 stock firmware.

I updated it immediately via OTA to V.9.6.4.0, but I used it with one sim (SIM 1 slot) only for some days,

When I inserted an additional sim in slot 2 I experienced the problem, but thinking of an hardware failure, I was able to get it replaced by store.

In the meantime I read about this bug and my second MI A2 Lite wasn't updated at all, and is currently running on V.9.6.2.0 yet, without problems.

Tried to open a bug report to xiaomi but I had no useful answers (yet) but a standard reply from some indian people, I guess, from a self naming "MIUI bug hunter team":

If is with system IMG !

I dumped every partition that are flashed with new updates.

If you haven't tried yet, it could be better to flash the images on the inactive slot, then Switch the slots with

fastboot set_active a
OR
fastboot set_active b

So that if any problem happens, you can go back to the original slot

Also I tried to flash the dumped images, and it booted successfully but I faced data encryption issues, so be sure to backup data if you try to flash everything derectly and not just modem image or anything.

This error means that the file couldn't be found. This can be either because the systema.img isn't located in the same folder of fastboot, or there's an error on the name of the file on the command

Here, the file "SYSTEMDUMP.img" must be located on the same folder of fastboot

And the error when the file name is wrong :

Here's the command when the file "systema.img" is located on the fastboot folder :

fastboot flash system_a systema.img

OR

fastboot flash system_b systema.img

Hi GDFI, you were right, simply the systema file was not in the same fastboot folder. I flashed and worked well.

[MENTION=9509603]prodan80[/MENTION]: VERY GOOD NEWS

We are very closed to the success !!

Surely [MENTION=6046075]GDFI[/MENTION] will help us as he did until now :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GDFI:
Since I also encountered encryption issues even without having a lock seuence, it's very unlikely that the problem comes from the sequence.

I did many tests and it seems that this encryption issues are related directly to boot and system images. Since I don't fully understand how encryption works, I cannot tell why exactly this is happening.

So I have two solutions for you:

1- Flash only Vendor, Modem, and RPM partitions. I did some researches and it seems those are the partitions than can be related to sim stuff. I also tested them and there is no encryption issues when flashing them. So I highly advice you to try this first. (@prodan80 : since you already flashed the bumped images on your second partition, you need to reflash your current version (for example 9.6.8.0) on you second partition (except for Vendor, modem, and rpm). )

2- If the first solution doesn't fix the sim issue, the only choise left I can think of is to back up your data throught adb on the principal partition, then format userdata partition, boot from your second partition and restore your data. That's not the most eleguant solution but that's the simplier way to resolve encryption issues.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] prodan80:
Hi GDFI thanks for the answer and patience. If I do wipe user data, can I delete only the partitioned data b? or is this not possible? I would like to run a sim operation test first and if all goes well I can also format everything without problems and install on main partition with data backup. tks!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] paolocorpo:
Thanks

I have a doubt about your second suggestion

I try to rewrite the steps as I understood

Boot into recovery of principal slot

Nandroid backup of only data partition

Boot into recovery of secondary slot (THIS IS MY DOUBT)

Wipe of data partition

Recovery of partition data (that one backuped before on principal slot)

Try to boot to system of secondary slot

Is it right ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GDFI:
Unfortunately, there's only one userdata partition so this is not possible ):

This should work well but what I was thinking of is :

Boot into principal system slot and backup data with adb from pc + copy internal storage files (images/vids/downloads etc)

Reboot to fastboot and wipe data with "fastboot -w"

Try to boot to system of secondary slot
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] paolocorpo:
Thanks ... As usual appreciate your time for us

So ... It is possible backup data partition with adb from Pc ? How ?

And ... Is "Fastboot -w" the adb command to wipe data partition ?? I never knew it !

And ... Is it not necessary to recover data partition backup into secondary slot before attempt to boot to it ?

Inviato dal mio Mi A1 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GDFI:
No problem!

Yes, you can backup throught adb with the command

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup.ab

And yes, "fastboot -w" is the command to wipe data on the bootloader!

And it is not necessary since you do the adb backup when the system is booted, and then you first need to first boot into the secondary slot then restore data. I invité you to see this article about adb backup : https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/backup-restore-your-android-phone-using-adb-ajibola-okubanjo

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GDFI:
Dear [MENTION=5056724]paolocorpo[/MENTION],

Sorry for the late answer

No, these commands don't have the same results than TWRP backup, it just backups applications with -apk and internal storage with -shared. But since official TWRP was released for the Mi A2 Lite, TWRP backup and restore should also work and can even be more simple if it doesn't bother to install TWRP

Assuming (and we all are almost certain now) that the leaked images of pixel 3xl are right, and assuming the Chinese manufacturers who started making screen protectors and cases for the P3XL are accurate, i wanted to see how bad the notch could be in real life, and compare sizes with P2xl, so i bought one of the Chinese screen protectors for p3xl and started comparing it to my P2xl.

I can confidentially say that P3xl is 95% or more in size with P2xl, to a level that we can say ITS a P2xl with a screen stretched up around the notch..

You can see in the attached photos, putting the P3xl screen protector over the P2xl screen, the notch is as deep as the top bezel of P2xl, and the bottom bezel is almost identical in each..

Size is also identical, both phones have the same overall size (in screen protector photo over the back of P2xl)

Side bezels are more slimmer for my eyes..

Photos attached should clear everything out..

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Phazonclash:
Versus the Pixel 2 XL:

-Most likely a very similar LG P-OLED display (but notched): Nothing groundbreaking

-Still 4GB of RAM: So don't expect less app reloads

-Snapdragon 845: Slightly faster than the Snapdragon 835 in real-life usage, probably not even noticeable in most scenarios

-Supports wireless charging: Cool feature but not exactly a game changer (Coming from a Galaxy S7 edge, I don't miss it)

-Smaller battery

The only question mark that remains is the camera: Will it be vastly superior to the already great Pixel 2 XL camera? I have a strange feeling the hardware (sensor, lenses, etc.) will be the same, with only a tweaked camera app (that will be ported for the Pixel 2 XL anyway)

The more I think about it, the more I struggle to understand why the Pixel 3 XL exists.
