It does not have to be damaged hardware. I think this might be a driver problem where some of the backlight led are not triggered correctly. We will see with the next patch.

Sadly i am not so happy with the update.

The darkmode is quite nice, but reading in sunlight is difficult in some apps. Gmail for example is really hard to read in darkmode when you are outside and the sun is shining. Would be nice to have a quick option the switch between darkmode and normal. You can put a shortcut in the Top menu, so everything is fine here.

Gesture Control is also a mixed bag for me. While it works fine overall there are some problems, sadly especially with the apps that uses googles material concept for menus. A swipe from the left normally opens the menu. Now it also is the "back" button and clashes with it. You now have to make a awkward gesture (starting left, going down and right diagonal) to open the menu or you have to use the button for the menu. But this sits at the top left of the screen so good look reaching there with one hand.

Dual Sim is bad now because you can no longer deaktivate a single sim. I don't know why this is removed.

The camera plays sounds on taking a picture even if you deactived the sounds in the camera app. And if you active them, you get two sounds at once.

Support for third party launchers with gesture controll completly does not work.

And we got a message to customize our pixel in the settings. Which is a little bit useless because i do not use a pixel phone here.

Overall i don't think the update is very good. Feels rushed and not really tested.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] IlSaro:
I confirm the lack of dual-sim settings but apart from the small gray areas at the bottom, which could be eliminated in the future update, I do not detect other bugs.

After the update, however, I made a complete reset
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] xbs:
I confirm the pixel reminder and the third party launcher gestures not working at all.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] goljimir:
Problems so far:

When i scroll your screenshots from the first post, i got lot of lagg (please try for your self in Xda app + Android 10).

Also, two or three times, I'm experiencing random reboots from some apps.

I noticed random drops on both wifi bands (2.4 & 5 GHz).

Worse strength of 4G mobile signal.

Slower response from fingerprint sensor.

Very common graphical glitches on home screen.

Worst battery life.

Maximum brightness is now lower than earlier in previous version of Android.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] ema93a:
The overall performance is good and gestures are fast and don't usually lag.

The bugs I've detected are:

- Five dim spots on the bottom of the screen, they show up just a second after the Android One logo appear when booting up or restarting.

- much worse cell signal reception.

- (edit, fixed with reboot) No microphone most of the times (WhatsApp and telegram voice notes are silent, assistant and Google voice search don't work, "ok Google" doesn't trigger, etc.) and low volume when recording videos.

- Still no vibration for WhatsApp, telegram, signal... calls when DND is active and set up to allow calls from anyone. Regular phone calls do vibrate as expected.

- Battery seems to drain faster?

You can put a "dark mode" tile in quick settings.

If you move it to the first 6 tiles, you can switch dark mode on or off after one single slide down of QS.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] johnwho2410:
Oh, thanks for this information. Did not see this. Ok, then i am cool with the dark mode :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] IlSaro:
I agree with you.

I would just like to add that it is advisable to do a full device reset after each version upgrade. The only drawback for me remains the shaded points at the bottom of the screen and I have not yet figured out if I have hardware damage or a kernel programming defect.

For any good purpose I have already made the report to Xiaomi.

Good luck to all
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Fernandus91:
My phone automatically update to Android 10 on tuesday. Apparently no problems at all, it booted normally without loops or black screen. Good sign I thought, but then I came in the news that Xiaomi rolled the update back up. So, after some research I discovered that this update apparently can cause some problem. This is my situation now:

And also, battery life is drastically lowered. On Pie it performed 46/50h with 7h screen on, now it seems need charges every 32/36h. But the problem with SD scanning randomly at random times seems to be gone.

This happens after some time of daily use. Reboot the phone and it should be fine again. Hopefully it!'s gonna be fixed with the coming update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Br8back:
for me after i update the phone to android 10 the experience that i got is :

pro:

performance is great it was improved

dark mode

many new features

gesture navigation

cons:

the display is dimmed and there is 5 black bars under the display

microphone is not working after 3 days from restarting or booting up the phone or after playing games

so may bugs

the app is always restarting when doing multitasking after 3 days from restarting or booting up the phone

camera app sound is doubled when enabled the sound

wifi and data signal weak

the speaker sound not that high, same with the headphone (even bluetooth)

i got one rare issues that is really weird is when the microphone is not working, i plug my headset and listen tosome music. but suddenly, the phone microphone is on. i could hear the wind start to blowing on my phone microphone, not the headset microphone.

i think that's it for now. did you guys have the same issues ??
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] IlSaro:
Hello.

I agree on almost everything. The fundamental problem is the display (the shaded areas at the bottom) and I have not yet figured out if this update caused hardware damage to the panel.

I wait for the next update and if the defect persists I will make the return under warranty, ending the "Android one" experience and perhaps also Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
Stop spaming every single thread with your nonsese. There is no such thing as damaged LCD damage because of software.

You now sound like the A2 users when the camera started clicking because faster focusing speeds.

Just because you don't understand how hardware and software work together it doesn't mean you need to spread fake news everywhere, and to prove you wrong, you just need to observe your device during a reboot process carefully.

Just press restart and wait for screen to turn black.

Pay attention to the bottom of the screen when the logo pops for the first time, LCD is fine, ~1s or less later the image goes dimmer while the leds keep the intensity.

Judging by that alone, it seems to be a problem in the way pixels are being controlled, since the LEDs keep the intensity constant half of the boot process. I remember iPhone having the same problem with 4 and 4S in some updates, and then it got fixed, and it was related to the way the LCD pixels were controlled and not the backlight leds.

Just remember this, mark it as a problem, don't over react, and leave the Qualcomm feedback app enabled to supply the vendor the data needed for the fix, the more the merry and a fix will come sooner.

Also I wouldn't have written this post if I didn't see you and another guy's spam on the mi forums.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] IlSaro:
Well. I was able to verify what you indicated and thank you.

However, I can't help but wonder why there is no official communication regarding the problem caused by the update, which, moreover, I immediately reported in the same way as you indicated.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] marstonpear:
[MOD EDIT]

Users have reported permanent hardware damage because of the broken Android 10, so yes there is such thing as damaged LCD because of software. Ever tried overclocking a CPU and burning it ? Software can damage hardware. [MOD EDIT]
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
Probably they don't care. I mean look at the large brand names out there, they do the same when they screw up, and it's been worse and worse. Xiaomi only gained traction outside china only a few years ago, so maybe they are overwhelmed, or they just don't care, or a mix of both. What's for sure is that a fix will come.

And now for the "marstonpear".

While overclocking is indeed software, the damage is not because of software it's because poor judgement of the user and poor thermal solutions, that translates to user fault and not "software" fault.

Users reported permanant hardware damage? Which users? You mean "IlSaro" and the other ones, including me who spotted the now visible backlight leds at the bottom of the screen and now the problem was pinpointed outside the "damage" area and into bad control of the pixel values inside the kernel itself? Also why is the problem persisting if you seamless switch partitions? Because you're simply booting another /system on the same new kernel, that's why the problem is still persisting.

Please find problems, find source of the problem, report them to Xiaomi and help the company bring the fix faster to users worldwide.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] perfect_:
Do you truly believe that?

If so can you say that bug to Xiaomi? Because i did and nothing happened.

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fake-fhd-60-fps-video-record-xiaomi-mi-t4050061

Also why we dont just use the features instead of reporting bugs. Is Android One users seems like a Full-Stack developer to Xiaomi?

Its just Pure Android OS.

- No Makeup

- No Custom UI

- No Custom Features

- etc.

I believe theyre intentionally doing this torture. Not sure why but there is a pattern they follow.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
While you are not wrong you are not completely right either. We have no idea on how Xiaomi is collaborating with Qualcomm on this project and these specific devices and in the latest update there are a few signs that prove that.

While in your thread a lot of people proved you wrong, and I can't test that now since I'm on Android 10 and the test would be invalid, in the new update the automatic feedback data is being sent to Qualcomm and not Xiaomi itself. We can still send feedback to Xiaomi through through the app, and I think that helps, since they may forward the information to Qualcomm which apparently is managing the first few updates on this device.

Hardware related issues are probably not on Xiaomi (that's where I said that you were not right) but the OS stability is fully Xiaomi's fault, because it's their job to adapt and mold the Android OS to the kernel offered by 3rd party. And to be honest, I only had 2 complaints on this phone, for me it worked perfectly so I don't get the whole torture thing. I only experienced bugs with some bluetooth devices which were not accepting that self sent pin, the june or july update when the rotation animation was broken and the SD card issue which I fixed myself by trial and error and a lot of checking, and I didn't test if Android 10 fixed the problem since I don't intend to replace that SD card in the close future.

Also as a side note, it was officially claimed by Xiaomi as "[ROM] [Partial Release]" which means it was a beta launch, just to see if heads will fall... and as people were craving the update they mindlessly update and then yell at the walls.

Also I don't get why my comment was edited? I was just pointing out the obvious behavior of some users that have absolutely no relation with a development forum, where you'd explect that people would have a minimal amount of knowledge in technology and especially how the Android OS work.

I have only one thing to say before I stop replying to flaming people who have absolutely no knowledge into development.

KNOW YOUR PLACE BEFORE POSTING!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] IlSaro:
I too have only one last thing to say: if I had known before that the price to pay for having a clean and no-frills operating system was all this mess, surely I would have chosen a device with MIUI, because even if I continue to consider them as valid devices, I do not think it is legitimate to manage the "Android one" program on the skin of unfortunate users who install an automatic Ota update.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] perfect_:
You need check my last post in that thread. It happens only on OmniVision sensors not Sony ones. People who dont have OV camera sensor they said it works as expected and thats true it works as expected on Sony camera sensor. So i am not wrong. OV sensor itself supports 1080p/60 fps but somehow its broken. You need to read my last post for more details. Also you can check ur phone too if u read carefully my thread. Maybe ur phone has it too.

Partially release thing i think its not partially released. If you read the first Android 10 thread about the update they released it country by country until evening. If it means ‘partially’ release yes they did. But i need to know their partial release mechanism before i say its ‘partially’ released.

Youre completely wrong ‘mindlessly update’ thing. We waited that update about 7 months. So we all hyped until it brick our phones. How we will know Xiaomi devs gonna forgot Mi A2 Lite’s cheaper version’s screen drivers. So they pulled back the update with a lot of casualties. We didnt do anything wrong Xiaomi did and looks like theyre gonna do that wrong things on his newer devices too. (Like Mi A4, Mi A5, etc.)

But question is what for?

The answer is hidden under who gets benefits from that.

Also why this ‘development mistakes’ happens only on PURE ANDROID ONE devices instead of much complicated ones. Such as MIUI.

why in kernel source by xiaomi I have found screen is overvolted ? Why driver screen is missing for fts in dtsi after 1 sec you see directly in sources... ? And why thermal cpu change is brocken ? And probably more bug if we search more can be found in sources ...

1) Xiaomi push sources without verify anything and give to all user

2) Why when you report to xiaomi 1 month after I see source still no fixed ?

Enought for me for blame at all xiaomi ! Its no just a bug xiaomi is retarted at all for that ! Its no hard to rebrand to kernel Q 3.18 EOL

YES EOL kernel and unsecure, Qualcomm give kernel 4.9 LTS for msm8953 device in Q !
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
So you actually said kinda' exactly what I said, but in different words,...[MOD EDIT]

"why in kernel source by xiaomi I have found screen is overvolted ?"

I would defenetely love to see that quoted, please, do post the specific lines which "overvolts" the screen... Also which part of the screen was overvolted, the pixels or the backlight?

"Why driver screen is missing for fts in dtsi after 1 sec"

A lot of sense, okay, true, true. Also, indeed, that was known in the first day of release when the problem was mostly related to the device's screen, duh.

"And why thermal cpu change is brocken"

What, what, what? What is that? Thermal CPU change?

"Xiaomi push sources without verify anything and give to all user"

[MOD EDIT]but indeed right, and I never said otherwise, they got the sources from Qualcomm and pushed it out to see what sticks.

"Why when you report to xiaomi 1 month after I see source still no fixed ?"

Maybe because ... you know, the whole covid-19... I don't know if you seens the news... but it's bad... uhm... and when things get bad, things gets pushed behind schedule. While china was in full covid-19 crisis... things were going slower... and you know, maybe now, when things cleared up, at least for the Chinese, they have to cover ground on the flagship devices/miui devices first, and maybe, just maybe after that they get to cover a list of 3 doomed devices... just saying. Just look at Mi A2 and Mi A3 which received march update, nothing was fixed, they just pushed it out to conform to Google's program... duh.

Report and wait, that's ALL you can do if you want to stick to original. By the way, I'm still extremely curious to see the code where the "screen" is overvolted...

From stock kernel compiled I cant see temperature CPU )))

Yes I invite you to read source kernel pushed by xiaomi and read carefully change by xiaomi please you will see xiaomi have modified voltage for increase but right its no proof at 100% its cause damage screen

Change is in arch/boot/dts/qcom/msm8953-daisy.dtsi

And in arch/boot/dts/qcom/msm8953-regulator.dtsi

Sure xiaomi still push minimal update according to android one and nothing more

* I no use stock ROM and kernel . I use kernel From CAF properly updated and gsi by phhusson for system . I still use stock vendor oreo its more stable to vendor pie if you look carefully

Ex for report : From pie vendor still some bug never fixed... Some codec bluetooth is missing and xiaomi have never sent response to me :confused:

"Yes I invite you to read source kernel pushed by xiaomi and read carefully change by xiaomi please you will see xiaomi have modified voltage in kernel but right its no proof at 100% its cause damage screen "

Avoiding the direct answer. In kernel source, posted on micode where exactly is the line of code or cluster of code that specifies "overvoltage" to the screen? Not that bad english answer posted by you.

"From stock kernel compiled I cant see temperature CPU )))"

Whoops again, false statement, I'm fully stock, and I can read the temperature successfully via a 3rd party app from the store, 26C minimum, since that's my ambient temperature in home, and 30C max while charging.

"* I no use stock ROM and kernel ."

Ok, [MOD EDIT] I just compared the 2 files you gave me with the 2 files from the last P kernel source and guess what?

In file Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8953-daisy.dtsi

New addition:

dload_type@1c {

compatible = "qcom,msm-imem-dload-type";

reg = <0x1c 4>;

};

Old version:

dload_type@18 {

compatible = "qcom,msm-imem-dload-type";

reg = <0x18 4>;

And one added line in USB3 control:

qcom,usbin-vadc = <&pmi8950_vadc>;

And that's it... there are no other differences.

And in Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8953-regulator.dtsi

There is absolutely no god damn difference from P to Q

-0 Removals

+1 Addition

And that addition is this line: * Copyright (C) 2018 XiaoMi, Inc.

Any sane user can now check my statement using the CORRECT path to file, not your mumbo jumbo, and using diffchecker online. You have absolutely no idea in what you're talking about. And for sure you never saw a voltage spike into the LCD pixels in your life.

[MOD EDIT]
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
Then just post the [MOD EDIT] code...

Also, just look at what I wrote initially [MOD EDIT], the display is fine for ~1s before the kernel drivers are loaded, then the image suddenly gets dimmer while the backlight stays the same. I presume there is a problem/change with the actual frame rate that the display is being driven. Faster frame rate will mostly have a dimming effect on the actual image being displayed, depending on the panel in question, but considering that I can't directly find the LCD driver in the source I can't say for sure.

Now back on your [MOD EDIT] comments, well, how can you say "that you and others" saw the change, when a tool made specifically to spot differences in 2 versions of file didn't saw it? Or you were comparing the Q file with the O file and that's when you saw a difference? Because, what I wrote in my last reply is a direct comparative between P and Q from mi-code source.

So what youre saying: Xiaomi doing everything right.

Thats why;

- First Android 10 update bricked our phones.

- Screen dots appeared.

- 1080p@60fps Video Record is broken on OV sensor.

- Bluetooth codecs missing.

- Xiaomi promised second OTA update to us in March but..!!

- etc.

Xiaomi is 'perfect' when it comes to Android One updates. But our non-profit dev says a lie.
