[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Roydpeter:
Several of us have gotten the Android Q/10 update on our devices.

A quick review would be greatly appreciated from the ones on Android 10.

Please kindly touch on these topics

1. Battery, Screen on Time and Standby.

2. Performance (Launch speed, Ram management, general smoothness of scrolling on menus etc)

3. Camera

4. Any new features. Or redacted features eg. The Screen recorder has disappeared.

5. Benchmarks. Did Samsung sneakily throttle the SOC even more or does it have improved perfomance?

6. Do Goodlock plugins still work? What about the other plugins (Game performance plugins etc)

PS

Miscellaneous

The A20 was never the fastest phone of its price in my opinion. It struggles in some scenarios that cheaper phones wouldn't. I would like to know if this behaviour has changed on Android 10.

eg

1. The share function. It normally takes several seconds to come up. How is it on Android 10?

2. Going to recent apps from a landscape app/game? It usually lags and takes several seconds to figure out what orientation it should be. Did they fix this?

3. Does the Settings app and several other system apps take forever to launch when you compare the launch speeds to similarly priced or even cheaper phones?

4.What about the scrolling experience in between menus? Is it still a laggy mess? The "apps" section especially on the Settings app runs at 2 frames per second! And the device care section too.

5. Auto rotation. It was never instant. It is always a laggy mess on my A20. Go to youtube while your auto rotation is turned on. Turn your phone to Landscape. Does it go to Full screen immediately or does it lag and stutter then do it like on Android 9?

6. OpenGL is crap on Android 9. Is it better on 10? What about Vulkan?

7. What about game load times? I am usually the last to load into game arenas on my A20. Be it Mobile Legends, the newly released Area F2, Call Of Duty mobile, Arena of Valor etc. I am always the last, several seconds after everybody has. Have they fixed this?

Thanks y'all

Happy reviewing

It will really help.

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] physwizz:
Good thread,

feedback soon:

Firstly the upgrade has enabled me to backup and restore. I lost this ability when I can upgrade to pie U4. This is well worth the effort of upgrading.

Secondly, I can now run Ultimate Q and an overclocked kernel from Minh.

I'm currently running stock Q with Minh kernel.

To do a proper review you would need to have 2 phones side by side: one running stock pie and the other with stock Q.

I'll go back to stock kernel and do my best to strain my 65 year old brain to remember what stock pie was like.

I can also run some benchmarks.
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hooooossamq:
for me i get the official android Q flashing it with odin and i notice the following:

#the battery draining so fast.

#the performance is good but its cause battery draining.

#the camera in android Pie have much options. in pro mod.and the colors much real in Q.

#some new option in sharing and one handmod keyboard and alarm. sounds..the screen recording can be add as it in pie.iam using the same apps in Q and its works.screen show battery will charging.

#the performance is better but its laggy some time and the battery draining fast... i have made some tweaks in vendor build.prop file and still testing..till now i have a good performance and good battery life after many test.but still testing more.i created a topic for stock pie rom in the same tweaks from here

- Overall feel it's the same

- New gesture navigation is good

- No screen recording is definitely bad since nice shot is not working anymore

- the privacy features are a plus

- the ui is overall more consistent

- stock apps are mostly the same with a few minor tweaks here and there

- the fingerprint sensor is faster

- i can't say anything about gaming performance since i don't play any graphic intensive game

- battery is still kind of the same

I am currently using a205f with stock q

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Cult.Personality:
Fed up with this stock android ****, no I'm ok with the lack of customisation ..but the way Xiaomi is treating this brand the with all the bugs and mistakes in update I'm hoping to ..shift to the miui OS. But have some questions

1. When will I get the stable MI UI 12 for the mi a3

2. Will the camera 2 Api thing will be enabled by default on it like the stock android one rom

3. Once I'm on mi ui - 12 will I receive the OTA updates by default or il have to install them manually ?

4. About the warrenty of the phone
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
1. Never

2. and 3. irrelevant, see above

4. bootloader unlocking does not void the warranty, bricking your device due to your own fault might be refused by service center as a warranty repair

Not sure why do you expect MIUI to be bug free, it has even more bugs/design failures than clean Android. If at all, I would move to Pixel devices (which are not bug free either though).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] RJ-:
I think mi a3 definitely get miui 12.

Becouse of mi cc9 will get miui 12. Who alternate version of mi a3.

https://www.mifreak.com/miui-12-release-date-eligible-devices/
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Not officially (not on locked bootloader, no OTA, no support by Xiaomi,..). Maybe someone will port it, but it's not as stable as stock ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Davidbg03:
1) When xiaomi cc9e get the official miui 12, someone will port to mi a3

2) All new xiaomi`s phone have camera 2api enabled

3) Xiaomi Mi A3 with miui doesn´t have mota updates, all updates will have to install manually with recovery

4) recently xiaomi said that unlock bootloader not unable the warranty but, I think that depend of where do you buy the phone.

I use miui in my mi a3 and i dont have any problem. I think that is better than android stock in mi a3. miui is better with amoled display for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Cult.Personality:
I have an idea that xaomi won't give official miui12 update to an android one phone, what I actually meant was when will I be able to install it on mi a3.

Secondly ...do i will have to install a ported version only, what about the stock vesrion for the MI CC9 the Chinese veriant of this phone ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
1. when someone ports it

2. not possible to use stock rom from different model

Miui 12 Mi A3 (Ported!)

Hello everyone!

Looking on net I found something interesting.

A ported version of the Mi 9cce to the Mi A3, I tested it on my device, but did not recognize the simcard, consequently the mobile data and also did not recognize wifi.

And when you hold the button to turn off the menu does not appear.

link below for those who want to test.

please if anyone can fix it i would appreciate it.

I hope I'm not posting in the wrong place.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
I have the Chinese version of the NEX. I've had it since June 2018. An update just installed version PD1805_A_8.8.10. This update added a screen edge light notification feature for calls and notifications. One of the settings is the halo glow effect. It looks really nice and the options for colors and effects is good but I'm about to move on from VIVO and move over to Xiaomi for the Shark 3 Pro. The setting is Dynamic Effects and It's a shame because it looks really nice and can be useful but it's almost 2 years too late.

Face Unlock has been removed in the last update (4.20.2) but I'm on the previous one (4.20) and it works perfectly ! I assume that the Face Unlock is a bit slower than the one on MIUI, but it still is very fast.

Hope that message helped you !

Should work. Sometimes kernel apps didn't set changes directly. I also had to set them sometimes more then once. Maybe try another kernel app. You could also set governor to another. This will also send in less performance, but would change step up frequency more slowly
