[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] bluesheep13:
Hello dear xda community, this is my first post here, so please be gentle ;)

I own a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 4/64GB version (Model Nr. M1805D1SG), and lately all of my sensors stopped working. I am quite sure, though not 100%, that this is related to the recent July update, as I did not perform any other major system changes or even app installation in the time period since I've noticed the sensor malfunction.

I first noticed the proximity sensor not working any longer as the screen kept staying on while I was taking calls, which caused me to mute myself a couple of times during phone calls, by accidentally pressing the mute option with my check. Then it became apparent that auto rotation also was not working any more, and after a while I also noticed that my brightness was not adjusting itself any longer. I confirmed the faulty sensors by going into the hardware testing menu (by dialing *#*#6484#*#*).

Now since all sensors malfunctioned at once I highly suspect that this is an issue related to software and not a true malfunction of the physical sensors. Has anyone else experienced similar problems since the July updates, this an issue known to appear at times after an update? I'd be very thankful for any directions and/or help in this regard. Thanks for any input on this issue, cheers!

EDIT: The problem still persists after a factory reset.

Android version: 9

Build number: PKQ1.180917.001.V10.0.12.0.PDLMIXM

Restore factory settings.

If you do not resolve, assistance
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] bluesheep13:
Thanks, this would have been my first approach, but I first wanted to see whether this was a common issue, hoping for a possibility to prevent the time-consuming task of reconfiguring my phone after the factory reset. Probably I'll just have to bite that bullet and set aside a couple of hours to customise my phone again afterwards.

Just performed a factory reset, my problem unfortunately still persists.

How about the touch sensitivity? Is it affected too?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] bluesheep13:
I did not notice any deterioration in the touch sensitivity during my everyday usage, so I would like to say no. However I do not know how to quantify the quality of it, or how it test it, so if you can provide steps for testing the touch sensitivity I might be able to give a better answer. Either way, thanks for replying!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] toolpost:
Ahh.. then there is no difference in your touch sensitivity. If I handover my phone to you, you will definitely feel it within a minute. My situation is that worse! Please check the "July update" thread in this same forum if you want to know more.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] matemusic:
Interesting, i had similar issue previous month. I thought it is hardware issue - but after july update sensors are working. Maybe wait for august update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GuestK00302:
Did you try reflashing your phone bone-stock with the latest firmware?

Maybe some data got messed up in the OTA update process and of course resetting won't help you, because the data was being modified permanently in the system image.

When you reset your phone, it places the "bug" again in the system because the system was altered with a corrupted/buggy/damaged file/files.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] saggel:
After the July update I have a big problem with the fingerprint sensor!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] bluesheep13:
I was about to go down this route, however yesterday the August security update came OTA and it seems like everything is working again! Thanks for the tips everyone. I will probably wait with the next update and see if any new problems pop up on this forum, lesson learned!

Same problem with me

Happening same with me I returned to stock rom also reset device 2 times updated every security and system OTA. Proximity, accelerometer, gyroscope,compass everything stuck and not working. ?

Google released the patch ASB-2019-08-05 that fix several bugs that could allow for escalation of privilege.

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2019-08-01.html

Those are:

CVE-2019-2120

CVE-2019-2121

CVE-2019-2125

CVE-2019-2128

CVE-2019-2131

CVE-2019-2132

CVE-2019-2133

CVE-2019-2134

CVE-2019-2127

The patch commit is located here:

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/refs/tags/ASB-2019-08-05_4.4

and diffs here:

https://android.googlesource.com/ke...19-08-05_4.4^1..refs/tags/ASB-2019-08-05_4.4/

or

https://android.googlesource.com/ke...19-08-05_4.4^2..refs/tags/ASB-2019-08-05_4.4/

For those who did not apply the patch, it's a chance to root devices, like me who have a locked Verizon Pixel 2 XL.

I'm sharing the idea here in case someone can do it quicker, as I know there are people here with much more hacking knowledge than me.

Anyway, I will look into how to exploit it to get root privilege.

The best stable one IMO is CRCs 10.4

I have that now in full production.

I agree and have also had great success with CRCs Roms. His 6.1 versions have all been great and all come with 3g Video dialer or at least the versions I have used do. I prefer the stable versions but go the dev if you want something cutting edge.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornz:
Long story long.

Friend buys a load of tablets at auction, buried in there is an almost brand new (looking) sm-t395.

When turned on, it goes to a home screen with 2 buttons at the bottom, "Administrator" and "User".

Of course, these appear to passwords and of course, we have no idea what they are despite the scribblings all over the boxes.

No problem, says I confidently. We'll factory reset it.

So I boot it into factory reset mode and it does nothing, other than tell me that MDM will prevent factory reset.

Duckduck go explains MDM is like KNOX, a lock to stop devices being reset but it also reveals that it is possible to flash the stock firmware back into it and voila. Which is how you deal with googles FRP essentially.

OK, thinks I, this is sammys version of googles FRP so I think, ok, ODIN.

Now I have used ODIN about 4 times in 10 years or so, so I am not entirely familiar but I know that the android device has to be in download mode and HERE is where my master plan falls apart.

I **cannot** get this thing to boot into download mode. Recovery mode, not a problem but ODIN mode, nah having none of it.

So, would someone please tell me what and indeed IF I am doing something wrong. Tried vol+, home then power then release at same time which takes me straight into recovery mode, same but with vol- does the same.

Am I urinating into an oncoming breeze or can this thing be salvaged? He's promised it me for payment for fixing the others. Usual stuff, cracked screens, faulty usb ports, run of the mill stuff.

Thanks for any assistance.

Drift Insane is a sigleplayer drift and racing simulator for Android with realistic physics, which gives you full control over vehicle's motion to perform real drifting stunts.

Unlike other games with only gas pedal button, here you control gas with slider, which gives you realistic driving experience. This is harder, but also more challenging and exciting, so you will spend hours while beating records and pushing your drifting skills to the next level.

[IMG="Drift Insane Screenshots"]https://i.ibb.co/n66pZzQ/xda-image.png[/IMG]

FEATURES

- Realistic simulation of driving motion based on real car physical parameters.

- Control drifting with steering wheel and gas sliders, push gear speed and brakes.

- Legendary drifting cars with realistic driving physics.

- Challenging racing tracks based on real world locations.

- Publish results to the server, then synchronize with other devices.

- Speedometer in km/h, timer, and drifting indicator.

Get on Google play
[Android Apps and Games] Stasilho:
Drift Insane - New release!

I finally added Drift mode, and the game got a new life. Now you can perform drifting stunts and earn points!

Also demo recording/playback added, you can save demos locally.

Have fun!
[Android Apps and Games] pawelik001:
interesting game :))
[Android Apps and Games] Stasilho:
Drift Insane - New release!

Hello people!

In new release:

- Added streering by rotating the phone, steering by slider still available as a second option.

- Now you can watch general player statistics right inside the app.

- Texture filtering added, so the textures look smoother and not blinking as before.

Available in Google Play!

PS. Feedbacks are very contradictory. Some people do like this game, some people believe this is bul****. It would be nice to hear your opinions.
[Android Apps and Games] kunaljoshi28:

The game looks nice..congrats to the dev..

[Android Apps and Games] ykaterin:
Good physics! Interesting concept.
[Android Apps and Games] Stasilho:
Hello comrads!

Here it comes - Drift Insane is fully reworked on Unity Engine.

Now the game has third dimension and more advanced graphics, although it's still top-view racing game.

Everything is different under the hood, but UI looks similar, and physics/gameplay are the same.

Some game logic was added. Now you have a goal - to finish all tracks at some difficulty level.

You finish first track with certain time and score - and then proceed to next one. Driving requires some skill (like in real life), but if you have one - tricks looks spectacular and realistic.

Game is now available in Google Play!

PS. Thanks for your feedbacks, now I have clearer vision on what to do and stronger motivation to do stuff. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Stasilho:
Hello guys.

Check my new update for Drift Insane!

I made this game 3D finally. Screens are updated, so you can preview them. The camera is now behind the vehicle. Vehicle control has no changes. Top view can still be selected in settings panel.

I also added second drifting car - Nissan Skyline R34 25gt turbo.

So, now there are three fully developed racing tracks, and two racing cars.

Next I'm planning to add Subaru impreza 22b. It's not trully a drifting car, but I simply like it ).

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] skyraven83:
Hi all,

I'm running Lineage OS 6 on an older Oneplus 3 and until recently I had the older Lineage 5.

There I was happy to not have on my lockscreen loads of text popping up or icons, just discrete icons on the top left corner.

Is this thing fully gone with the 6th version?

I've been looking like crazy for the last 20 minutes in all the menus and could not find anything.

At most I can just disable all notifications, have them not display the content (private) or show all.

The lockscreen does not seem to be too configurable vs the past.

Is there any way to just get rid of all text and big icons filling the lockscreen and switch back to a simple clean one with just notification icons on the status bar / top left corner?

For vanilla Android I found a forum post that stated: " just go to settings>lockscreen>notifications>tap on the side opposite the toggle>notification style>change it from icons only to brief or detailed." but could not locate anything similar here.

Help ?:)

Am I looking for the impossible thing?

Thanks in advance!

You mean 16.0 vs. 15.1 ? Yes, lockscreen notifications seem to be all-or-nothing in 16.1

Phone is: Motorola G4 Play, Android v7.1.1

I had it attached to a Google account as well as PIN-locked. Google shows it last being synced on 8/5/19 (day it was stolen). I was able to recover the phone within a day after realizing it was stolen and figuring out who the thief was. Though I never tested it myself, I had seen this --so-called-- protection in the past and assumed it would be active on my phone; however, it clearly wasn't.

When I located it, the kid was playing on the internet with it, using my sim card. He had made it his own at that point. My data was no longer on the phone. According to some folks, I must've had a bad PIN, but it was random digits not associated with any personally identifiable information and the kid himself claims all he did was perform a factory reset.

Even worse, I was under the false impression that Google's Find My Device would help me locate the phone. But apparently it doesn't when the Google account gets wiped during a reset.

So my question is, is there any way to actually secure this phone to make it not so easy for anyone to simply factory reset it and use it as their own?

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] teagon98:
Many sites reported that A70 just got dedicated night mode for camera, I downloaded the update but there is still none. This should be an essential feature for 400 euro phone, all my old phones had it.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] MartinMKR:
Man, you have pro mode, its better than 10 night modes. We all know that those night modes dont do a lot in any phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] teagon98:
You mean THAT "pro" mode that doesn't even allow you to set shutter speed essential for low light situations? :laugh: ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] MartinMKR:
Do you really need that on a 400$ phone camera? Can you stand perfectly still 2 sec, or 10?

Are you one of those guys who brings with him 7 tripods, 11 stands and a lamp to take a picture with his mid range phone?

The phone chooses the best shutter speed for the parameters you have set.

If you need those features badly, theres a magisk mode that gives you night mode, pro mode like in a flagship and bunch of other camera funcions.

Aaand theres adobe lightroom and 10000 other softwares that will help you with the pictures.

The only bad thing i find in this cameras are the lack of hardware stabilisation, everything else is expected. After all, who will buy phones for x3 the money of this one, if this one have it all?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] Josem1352000:
So a while back i unloked my Mi 8 lite's bootloader, and proceeded to flash a custom ROM and root.

however i started to get app crashes and random reboots, and i tought, it's just probably the rom so i flashed another one but the problems persisted and even got worse. After all of it i decided to go back to stock with mi flash, but the problems aren't gone.

is there any chance that i broke something while unlocking or using the recovery?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] danielwright:
Did you wipe data to perform a clean flash each time?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] Josem1352000:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] danielwright:
Ensure you are not restoring any apps (in case of corrupted apps or app data).

Try without your SIM card (in case of corrupted SIM module).

What kind of flash did you try in MIFlash? Fastboot or EDL? TIF you haven't tried, flash the lowest level type (EDL) to essentially using unbrick method to rewrite as much as possible on the phone. Connect to computer in fastboot mode, and type 'fastboot oem edl' to get into EDL mode and from from official TGZ for your phone.

If its still crashing randomly, its possible some memory is corrupted.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] danielwright:
Try newer version of miflash

And also try Chinese ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] danielwright:
If newer miflash doesn't work, it might be that Xiaomi have now locked EDL to only authorised mi accounts... https://mi-globe.com/unbrick-your-xiaomi-phone-without-authorized-mi-account/
