[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] brathaneq:
hello

It's been a while since I wrote anything on XDA, so please be gentle ;)

Let's get the ball rolling.

I have been using MI9 since launch. I bought mine directly at the store in Shanghai, and brought it with me to Europe. After 2 weeks i unlocked the bootloader, and was able to flash TWRP + xiaomi.eu ROM (current beta at that time).

For a couple of months I received OTA updates (all firty flashes), up until introduction of beta android Q (miui 11).

I downloaded the ROM, and flashed, everything worked fine. after some time I had an issue with google pay, so thought of reverting to android Q. I checked, and dirty flash was not recommended option, so I prepared Android P ROM (not sure if exact version is relevant), booted to TWRP (3.3.1.42), wiped the data and tried to flash the ROM (from USB OTG).

Sadly - received error 7, some info about system partition.

I tried reflashing android Q - only to receive the same error.

Stuck at TWRP or fastboot, I used miflash and returned to a global stable.

then I reflashed twrp hoping to remove the error, but had the same error while flashing. Tried to flash from both internal memory, and usb OTG.

returned with miflash to stable, to use the phone..

bootloader is still unlocked, I can flash twrp again, but it will be wiped once I restart the system (as global roms "reflash" recoveries when they boot up).

I looked on some guides how to deal with error 7, but most of them aren't applicable (removing asses lines from config files, as there is no assess line in the ROMs).

Perhaps I am missing some files that I should flash, such as "vendor" files, or something ?

I thought that miflash restores fully to factory state, so TWRP shouldn'[t give any more errors.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RedWave31:
There might be something wrong about either the rom, or the twrp.

> Since error 7 is the updater script checking for the phone model, it's either a bad script, or you missed an asserts file when flashing with MiFlash, as even the "factory" roms might not contain all partitions.

> Some partitions can't be seen by Mauronofrio's TWRP, but that shouldn't be a problem tho...

- Try using TWRP 3.3.1-1001 by a chinese team

- Try using the latest 10.10.2019 MIUI11 Rom from xiaomi.eu, I'm using in on an EEA phone and quite satisfied with it

1. I don't want to root my phone.

2. I was using lineage 16 (up until 4 hours ago) but using some weird TWRP which can't decrypt internal storage. Seems the this custom TWRP includes sqlite.

3. Currently trying pixel experience but it seems this requires magisk to get Google Pay working.

Thanks

Gpay works without magisk on the latest PE 10
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mrjayviper:
I tried setting an existing credit card in my google "wallet" and it keeps on saying "this may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way". i don't have magisk installed.

1. using this TWRP (this is the recommended one by the dev)

2. no magisk

3. using PE/Android 10 beta Oct-13 version

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mar.ur:
[MENTION=4832480]mrjayviper[/MENTION] I try 11.10 PE10 a few days ago and it was working for me. I afraid there is only stock miui with working gpay without Magisk. If you want use custom ROMs and Gpay you have to use Magisk to hide state of bootloader
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] daiconiv:
Phone starts to boot normally, then as soon as android starts and it shows the lock screen, it initiates another reboot. It loops this infinitely. Before this it was starting to grow unstable and was doing random crashes like this, but now it just crashes instantly as soon as it hits the lock screen on boot.

ROM is Mokee and my TWRP is 3.3.1-0. I can enter Recovery in TWRP atleast. Seems to be working fine inside there.

I would like to reset it, but my 2FA is attached, and so I need to get into the phone long enough to disengage all of them.

What can I do here?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] daiconiv:
Here's hoping:

Is there a way to backup Google 2FA from within TWRP so I can restore my phone and bring back Google Authenticator just the way it was?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
Anyone here experiencing a sensitivity issue on samsung A70?

I had mine like few weeks ago and notice there is a lag on screen sensitivity. I used to play games (call of duty mobile and PUBG) on this phone and it is lag whenever i tried to make a minimum/fine tune movement. It is annoying and almost useless to play.

I believed to those who are using this phone for photo editing or painting or drawing will experience the same thing.

I compare with my samsung S9+ and note3, they works perfectly. No issue at all.

I also did a test with other demo set A70 phone in samsung store, they appears to have the same problem.

Not much info i can get from the net as for now.

I did report to samsung service center in Malaysia, unfortunately they said i'm the only one who is complaining about this matter. They ask me to check if there is a firmware update in future.

Please share your experience with me.

Please help.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Xenomorphs:
Same problem here, was looking all over the internet to find someone who experienced the same issue.

Just for the record, I have also switched on the 'Touch Sensitivity' option in the settings.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
I've got this issue too. I've talked to Samsung about it through Samsung members app, and they told me to take the device to Samsung customer center, but they told me that there's nothing wrong with the device. I kept bugging them about it on Samsung members app until they told me that they're gonna pass the feedback to the team.

My advice would be that we all write them feedbacks about this issue, that way they'll listen to us. Also it's important to tell them that you don't have any screen protectors on, cause they're gonna put the blame on it.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
I've also posted about this issue a couple of times here and there, on Samsung's Reddit and Twitter also. And I was trying to get some YouTubers attention to this issue so they can talk about it and get Samsung to listen, but YouTubers don't respond to me.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
I am tired enough to contact samsung. I even did email their ceo through samsung email. No news from them yet.

Anyway, do you think it is a hardware problem or software problem? Or that is best performance a70 can do?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Xenomorphs:
I am pretty sure this is a software issue. Because Snapdragon 675 should have no problem with this considering my sisters’s old Lenovo P2, with the Snapdragon 625, is perfectly fine.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
Definitely software issue. The touch used to be worse but they fixed it, and now it's like this. Also, if it was a hardware issue they would've noticed it when I gave my phone to them to scan it.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
I just came back from samsung service center. They told me it is like this due to screen type.. S9 and note3 having a better screen quality. So for A70 screen type there is a limitation of the delay.

I really dont agree with them but this is what they told me. I insist to have a report on this and ask them to highlight this issue to higher samsung representative. But i forgot to take the report number. Grrr...

Imo, this issue wouldnt solve unless you able to talk to someone who is 'working in a software department' and able to explain to them correctly.

And i guess they only take a very good care on their flagship model. S and Note.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Stanwar:
What security patch you're on? And how can I test if I have the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
That's not the case, they just don't wanna talk about it so that's their way of shutting you out.

I've just updated my phone to September security patch and I can see they're fixing the issue. It's not 100% fixed, but I feel like it's 99% fixed. The touch is better, but not the best. I compared it to my A50 and it's indeed closer than ever to being like it, regarding the touch response latency.

I'm gonna send them a message again to tell them that they're on the right path but it just needs a little bit more fixing. The sooner we report it, the sooner it is fixed.

+ No, most of their phones have great screens, I've been with Samsung for a decade now and I can tell from experience. It's just that this device has a software issue because they're so busy making new phones and giving updates to the A50.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
It is 1 july 2019 security patch.

https://youtu.be/rTKHVaCJ8_Y

You able to tell the difference from the video.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
Where are you from? I am still with july security patch. No new updates yet.

I hope you are right about samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
I updated the phone manually through Odin. I used the Israeli version since it's right next to Jordan where I live. The touch has improved, but it still needs some work. The fingerprint scanner has also been improved, it's faster now.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
Do you mean sept official update from Israeli samsung? If it is official, it must be available soon right?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
I downloaded the update from Sammobile site, and yes it's the official one. It's up since 9/30.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
I got a call from samsung asking me to bring my phone to the nearest center, they gonna check and make a report for samsung hq to take action. Hope will works. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
Tell them about this thread so they know it's a widespread issue.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Sunspark:
Have you tried increasing the mouse pointer speed in the input settings? I bumped mine up a bit and it helped a little bit but it doesn't solve the problem of hitting a small target not being registered as a touch unless you zoom in. My old phone, LCD was able to hit small targets.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
Yes. I tried that too. But doesnt solve the problem.

Will do my best..

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] xprzs:
a70 bugs

samsung phones have many bugs, they are very low quality in terms of hardware and software.

first they design a phone without enough hardware testing.

maybe the components do not work together as expected.

then they release the incomplete phone with a big marketing campaign.

poor customers buy it for the brand name.

after lots of complaints, they try fix the hardware/phone problems by software/firmware fixes. but of course they do not work out so well.

for example the fingerprint scanner of A70, first it was a ripple effect animation, then after the complaints of fingerprints not reading, they added bright laser green animation, in fact it is because of the fingerprint reader is working badly, and lighting the finger by bright green light, helps the fingerprint reader work better.

but this bright laser green is so annoying, and it is not possible to turn it off. :D

as well as the touch sensor of the screen. it is nothing to do with the cpu of the phone.

it is a hardware issue of the touch screen sensor together working with the mainboard and chasse and maybe the battery of the phone.

anyways avoid samsung products at all costs.

not only the phones. their ovens, washing machines or even air conditioners are very bad.

because samsung strategy is copy/steal and make a cheap copy of another product/manufacturer.

they release 1000 different versions of almost the same hardware, by making this FLOOD MARKETING strategy, they hope to catch/fool more fish/customers.:D

other manufacturers for example iphone, release 1 product per year, but fully tests the hardware and software, and release a mature product.

same with bosch.

same with canon.

what samsung does, copy these brands, steal customers by fake marketing and incomplete/unmature products.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SIRKRA:
Samsung is good and deserve money only in high/very high tier, everything else is just a flood of mixed things together called in different names to confund and priced almost double of what they're worth. They don't care about middle to low market just push and rush recycled things over and over and or experiment with them ( see A80, A90 etc )
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] xprzs:
samsung does not deserve money in high/very high tier products also.

if a samsung phone is the same price or more of an iphone, i would never buy samsung. samsung is just a trash.

samsung is just a scam artist company.

yes samsung has successes, very successful at marketing, very successful at gaining marketshare, making profits, copying other products, reverse engineering, copying other manufacturers.

but all of these are not in benefit of the end-users/customers.

the company gets benefits, customers suffer.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] James.Miller:
Eurgh this is nothing more than trolling at this point.

Xprza you are villifying samsung because the optical sensor is too bright. I've told you more than once that the bright green light is a requirement of the optical sensor. Not the colour, but the brightness. I've told you it's the same also on other phones (oneplus 6t for example). But you are laying the blame squarely at Samsung's feet. It's a limitation of the technogy! I also told you the slow reading on the a70 has been fixed but note that fix may not be available in every region yet. You just continue to ignore the facts. Why on earth did you buy a budget phone if you can't accept budget phones will be compromised in some way? Instead you keep comparing it to an iPhone, a phone that's twice the price and then some!! If you want top end features, buy a top end phone. It's really that simple.

As for Apple releasing one phone? IPhone X, iPhone Xs, iPhone Xr, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro.... That's their last two generations of phones and remember they are all high end phones with prices to match (so not at all comparable to an entire range of phones designed to cover just about every price point) but the point is thats a lot more than one a year isn't it?

The A70 is a great budget phone. Huge OLED panel, regular 7 hours SOT, 25w fast charging. Man, you expect the world for peanuts.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] chirogan:
Isnt this how optical fingerprint scanner works in the first place? You shine a bright light so the scanner could read your fingerprint. ?

Turning it off would render "any" optical fingerprint scanner unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
Worst experience with Samsung Malaysia Service.

They already hold my phone for 10days. I thought they were able to fix the phone. But they just told me that A70 is uncomparable with S9 or Note3 which i did before. They said A70 quality is low. So they going to just update the software for me.

Its been 2 days since our conversation but the updating process still pending. Lol

Do they need another 10days to update the software?? Lol

#samsungmalaysia
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
Take your phone back mate. There's no new updates to fix this.

This is after the latest update [youtube]tZXkEgS5HUI[/youtube]
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] xprzs:
they market this phone with "on-screen biometric authentication" officially.

misleading people. they consciously tell marketing lies as always. this is a samsung tactic.

the screen itself can not scan the fingerprint. just optical scanner at the very bottom part of the screen.

and you get HULK GREEN in order to authenticate through fingerprint. :D (and when they marketed this phone there was no green lightning, just a ripple effect)

and the fingerprint scanner quite often can not detect my fingerprint even with the latest firmware and HULK GREEN lightning.

i feel low quality finger touch sensing on this phone too, i do not know why, but it feels so laggy. although the cpu is powerful.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
Conclusion, unfixable? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
I still wanna believe that there is, therefore, I still give feedbacks about this to Samsung. I hope they'll fix it fully in the next update, since they did improve the touch in September's update. Let's wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Lowbk:
I went to samsung store and try all the phone there. Guess what, all samsung A series A30 A50 A70 A80 having this issue.

S and Note series works great.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
My brother has an A50 and the touch on it's screen is perfect.

That's how mine works on latest September update. I think it's fast enough. It's also pretty accurate. Almost works 99/100

are you at the same time turning on and turning off the lights of the room? :D

or the sensor of your camera (aperture) also harassed by the BRIGHT GREEN LIGHT, too, as our eyes :D

samsung GREEN LIGHT fingerprint scanner is awful, just hurts the eyes, and so annoying
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
You really do hate that green light, don't you. I like the ripples effect more, but I'm fine with the green one too. + The lights are like that because of the wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] chirogan:
Going back to the Topic,

Yes i do experience this in call of duty mobile. It happens only while im charging where the touch screen doesnt respond to slight movements. It makes the game annoying especially for the games that needs details for fine movements.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] xprzs:
this is proof of poor electronics design. not enough isolation between the touch screen and chassis, mainboard and battery of the phone.

i also experience the same issue. touch screen is laggy while charging.

also while charging , always on display does not wake up by touching.

samsung ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] chirogan:
Its too early to conclude that this is a hardware issue. Im not saying that it is not possible but ive been with samsung and this is the first that happened with me and a quick restart immediately resolved the issue, even without removing the charger. It could be software issue. Lets wait for more updates and hope it gets resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] veli123:
They will ALWAYS say you're the first complaining. They will ALWAYS say the problem is NOT in their phones/firmwares. Practice in all tech support all over the world. They will never admit that their systems are not perfect and are buggy at all. Which is the biggest mistake. So don't call them and waste your time. It's firmware bug and will fix in unknown time. End. (Sorry Samsung but i said the truth).
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Sunspark:
If it was a software bug wouldn't it have been fixed by now? They've already moved on to other devices. I didn't expect Samsung of all companies would have touch sensitivity issues. I will have to be more careful checking out future devices. I got very used to pressing small links on my old HTC and having them go through. This one doesn't even register pressure on small links. I have to zoom in before they register.

Same here, and now my bank won't let me configure my card any more as it has been done too many times it now has seen it as a fraud risk. So I can't use the phone for payments any more unless I call the bank and reset the fraud trigger every time!

Combined with the issue where it loses 4G data, this phone is a waste of time.

Why would you invest so much in the cheap crappy devices? Might as well jsut get a real Android TV box.
[Fire TV General] pr1uk1:
Well I like Amazon devices and when side loaded with the right apps they work very well, I was using the Amazon Fire TV 2nd Gen (the flat square one) which I still think was Amazons best. I saw a Cube going a lot cheaper so bought one and well so far it's working great. The trouble with my old 2nd gen was the low on storage issue even though it was not really low on storage I think Amazon as slipped something on there to make it look as if the storage was low. The Cube I think is not a cheap crappy device at all and I would not go back to an Android box, ever.
[Fire TV General] ASCiiDiTY:
Some other cons..

1. Amazon Game Controllers are no longer supported

2. Many sideloaded app icons show blank

I love mine though regardless of it's faults, with custom launcher anyway. Was finally worth the upgrade at prime day prices from my 2nd gen fire tv box.
[Fire TV General] pr1uk1:
2. Many sideloaded app icons show blank

Yes have a couple of apps were the icon does not load but they still work OK, but it does spoil the Cube. Also when I used my old TV 2nd gen (flat one) my amp would be turned up to 2 to 3 lights this Cube as to be turned up 5 to 6 lights so there is also a sound issue.
[Fire TV General] TimmyP:
But you are on an Android box. You are rooting your device to make it closer to an Android box. You are basically telling people you prefer the Android software over native Android then what in gods name are you doing on XDA?
[Fire TV General] pr1uk1:
OK I see your point the Cube runs on Android and as for rooting to be honest I have no idea how to root
