[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pksenpai:
Every other xiaomi device works perfectly fine, tested the redmi note 7 pro, redmi note 4 and the redmi 7a,as for installing the driver, I've done that several times on different versions of windows as well, if it were a driver issue on windows, it should still work on linux, right? but it isn't even detected, as for device manager, I can't exactly see any new device or anything, but there is a connection sound and a disconnection sound playing on loop(on windows only). I was considering downgrading my bios, but then I found another user with the same laptop on an earlier version claiming to have the same problem.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Coffeemi:
if so is it possible that the RN8P device hardware is having problems ??

make sure to return with another computer / laptop and also make sure the data cable is still functioning, also use the USB View application to see all connections on your PC / laptop. You can see and delete several devices that are often connected.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] florynwk3:
I will try to install the MTK USB driver manually and check if it is working. With Redmi Note 8T works fine (but it has the Qualcom Snapdragon).

I will also ask my sister when she has time to try and connect to our desktop (an old intel pentium 4 xD running on windows 7)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pksenpai:
It'll probably work an an intel computer, it works on my intel core i3 5005u laptop just fine.

I don't think installing mtk usb drivers manually is going to be fruitful but do let me know what happens
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] florynwk3:
Well, the phone connects well on the old intel desktop, on the ryzen laptop even after manually installing the driver is the same issue.

I checked now and the phone is on android 9 MIUI 11.0.3.0 (if that helps).

I guess they'll use either the old computer to copy the videos/photos or I will just help them set up wireless connection.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dusr919:
I have the same issue, same circumstances, except that I have an intel i7-5500U Laptop. I reinstalled the USB drivers too and there was no effect on the issue. My RN8P keeps connecting and disconnecting from my laptop making file transfer nearly impossible. I also fear to change the recovery of my device in case it disconnects while the process is working. I encountered this issue in November when I first bought the device and I assumed it was a power issue from my laptop's USB port or something. It occurs irrespective of the USB C cables I use as well.

I tried and tested the phone with a cheaper laptop I got from university. It has an Intel M3 CPU I think. In my brief testing, I found no disconnect issue on that device. I am entirely confused as to why this happens. Blame mediatech I suppose.

Oh one more interesting piece of information. My phone appears as a collection of network drives, not as a flash drive. Even my Sd card appeared as a network drive. Could this have something to do with it? (Edit i just tested this again, and the phone now displays my drives as flash drives... weird)

I really want this issue to be fixed haha. I want to flash this phone soon.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] u8ububu:
Again, what do you mean by "doesn't appear to be detected"? Does the kernel detect it? i.e. does it show up in lsusb and/or dmesg?

In case you're not familiar with those tools, just run lsusb and dmesg (no other options needed) before and after plugging in the device and check if anything changed in the output.

Hii dude i have the exact same problem. I have a redmi note 8 pro and an acer aspire 7 which has a ryzen 3550H chip . I have bought a usb hub and tried it and it worked . But it won't work in fastboot mode . When you turn the device into fastboot mode and connect the device to pc via a usb hub it keeps connecting and disconnecting . I want to install a custom rom on my RN8pro . I some how able to unlock the bootloader and now I'm trying to install custom recovery but because of this issue I can't install it . I have tried installing a lot of adb drivers , Xiaomi drivers, media tek drivers also every drivers on the pc but i think it's not the pc problem. I think it's the phones problem. If you find a solution for this please inform me . If you just want to transfer files from phone to pc then you can buy a usb hub then the phone storage will appear on the pc . But i have better solution. You can download a application called feem it is a wireless file transfer app and It works fine .

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ojiz1:
Hi,

I noticed that Pixel 4 XL doesnt have equal sharpness in the frontcam pictures. If subject aka me are in the centre of frame (phone in portrait orientation), the photo comes halfway blurred. I mean my beard looks sharp, but in eyes level and above everything is a blurry mess. The hair looks so bad compared to my beard.. If I out stretch my arm, then its not so visible but anything from 30-50 cm shooting distances and you can definetely see that the picture looks weird because of that hair/eye level blurriness. I can fix the blurry eyes by re centering myself to lower of the frame. Its insane but it works always. :confused:

I want to know if this is normal software processing (distortion correction) or do I have a bad lens/camera sensor? And please dont remind me that its a fixed focus lens I already know that and i have described the problem which isnt purely focus issue.

E; I attached screenshot from one of my photos, where you can see the problem. (look at hair vs. eyebrown focus and scene wasnt windy!) I wasnt centered in viewfinder, little bit lower than centre of the frame trying to show that non equal sharpness (without sharing myself to whole internet)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] peikojose:
Sadly, Pixel 4 FFC doesn't have autofocus. It is fixed focus, to get it in focus you have to move the camera at arms lenght (focus point is around 55cm)

It is a pity but that is how it is. Pixel 3 narrow FFC had autofocus and I got the best selfies that way. Pixel 3 wide FFC was fixed focus.

"The Pixel 4 comes with a fixed-focus lens that offers a wide depth of field but has a slightly limited focus range. The latter means that in selfie shots captured at close distance (30 cm), images are slightly soft. However, sharpness is good at a typical arm’s-length shooting distance of 55cm and remains good at selfie-stick shooting distance (120cm), where many other devices struggle."

https://www.dxomark.com/google-pixel-4-front-camera-review/

Google reasoning is:

P4 FFC is wide, so you want to have the back frame and other people focused (not possible with autofocus)

Maybe no space to add a autofocus FFC because of soli?

Because Google and FFC with autofocus will come back with the P5
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jljtgr:
This really doesn't answer your question of whether your phone has a problem or not... but the image sensor is a flat object, while the lens is a hemisphere. The different parts of the hemisphere are different lengths from the image sensor; IE the center is a different length than any outer edge. The P4 in particular has aggressive perspective correction to cover up this fact and make things (usually) look flat when they should. But it can't correct the different focal lengths that change from center to outer edge. Maybe this is what you're seeing. I don't know a lot about cameras... I could be completely wrong.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ojiz1:
Otherwise good opinion, but how every else major flagship doesnt suffer this? iPhone, Oneplus for example (have had both). Can someone test this? For testing, you need to take it outdoors and in bright conditions and take a punch of selfies from center and litle lower of frame and see how it affects to focus. (usually if you have beard its sharper than your eyebrowns and it makes the photo horrible looking when cropped in) I showed to my friend examples who doesnt know anything about smartphone cameras and he was sure that this much be broken, cause it was so baad looking and the in the other it was so good, as expected. (same distance, differennt in frame positioning)

After May 1st, 2020 update, one of my application (FRep, Finger Replayer), it's service gets killed very often.

Not the app itself, but the service is run.

Is there any way to avoid this?

I already set the battery optimization of FRep app to Not optimized.

But, the service is not listed in the app list, so I cannot set it.

This issue has never happened before. And I am sure it is not caused by the FRep itself, I tested installing older versions, same issue.

I am running stock ROM, not-rooted, Android 9.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you don't know how to build a custom kernel and custom ROM for your device, then, no, you won't be able to add it.

Your device can not use hardware that does not have support for that hardware in the kernel. If you can't use a second 4G SIM, it is because the kernel and the operating system on your device do not support it. Therefore, it will require building a custom kernel that does support it and a custom operating system that supports it.

This is not something that you can do by editing a few files or otherwise add in a simple manner. It goes much deeper than that.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] abhishekarora:
Hi Guys,

I am currently on official ROM on my Redmi 4X. I want to install custom ROM. I want stability and security

Could someone please suggest the best ROM I should opt for ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] metelhammer:
Android 9 based ROMs are more stable than Android 10 but that doesn't meant Android 10 ROMs are not much stable but Android 9 may not have latest security patch. it depends upon your need.

I would suggest you for Havoc OS both based on Android 9 and Android 10.

Just last month Redmi 4X got 4.9 kernel and many Android 10 ROMs started supporting it which is great. in my opinion you should give it a try on latest Havoc OS.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] art_17:
If you want a custom roms for a daily use then Lineage os 16 is the answer. Yes Los dosnt have any "awesome" extra feature but it is very stable and secure. Another good rom for daily use is Pixel Experience.

The two rom I mention may not offer crazy customization, awesome "extra features" or the most up to date kernel (4.9) but for daily usage they are the best imo.

I use Los 16 with no root (22 april build), its clean, light and quick. Most importantly I'm lucky enough to pass the safetynet with it so I can use my device for banking, pokemon go, netlflix, snapchat and many others.

Edit:

FYI if you want to use a custom rom you must prepare yourself to not be able to use banking app. Even if you dont root your device you may not be able to pass the safetynet on a custom rom. Safetynet is what google use to check wheter your device is "safe" or not. Of course you can find a some workaround to "bypass" the safetynet but I wouldn't recommend you to do it because it may pose a security concern.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] abhishekarora:
Really appreciate your suggestion.

I also narrowed down to Linage OS 16 and pixel experience ROM. I have some follow up question:-

1- You mean other custom ROMs may not be able to pass the safety net. But linage OS 16 able to pass safety net, right?

2- I saw official page but not thread on XDA for official linage OS 16? You directly refereed to official page?

3- Have you tried latest (10th June) build of Linage 10 OS?

3- I want Android pie based Pixel experience ROM which I suppose is more stable then Android 10 based. But on official page it have only android 10 based download link. Could you pls share the download link for android pie based ROM ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] abhishekarora:
Thanks for suggestion !

What about the Finger print error people are talking about in every android 10 based ROM, is there any solution?

Can you please give me any more details /reference link about 4.9 kernel?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] art_17:
1. No, most rom "should" be able to pass the safetynet if you don't root it. But.. it doesnt mean 100% you can pass. Even if you use the same rom as me it doesn't mean you'll pass. In the end it all boils down to "how and what u use" to flash the rom and luck. Im speaking from personal experience. Not long ago in another device, I changed to a custom rom and I cant pass the safetynet even tho I dont root it.

Fyi I just changed to Pixel Experience plus in my redmi 4x and I'm still able to pass the safetynet. It's luck really.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] abhishekarora:
Which version of pixel Experience plus you have? have fingerprint issue or any other issue?

I want Android pie based Pixel experience ROM which I suppose is more stable then Android 10 based. But on official page it have only android 10 based download link. Could you pls share the download link for android pie based ROM ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] art_17:
Sorry I didnt see question 3 n 4...

3. Yes I tried the 10th june build of Los 16 before switching to pe plus (android 10). The 10th june build as far as I'm aware of is almost the same with the 22th april build. It just have the newest security update and under the hood improvements.

I have 2/16 redmi 4x with goodix fingerprints. I dont have any fingerprints issue with the newest official pixel experience plus. I have tried other android 10 custom roms briefly and I dont see any issue with fingerprints. Ironically when I installed Los 16 (22 april build) my finger print dont work, I restored my persist backup to fix it. No matter what dont forget to back up everything.

I dont have official pixel experience pie. But I do have an unofficial pixel experience plus pie(android 9), I have not tried this rom yet but If you want I can share it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] metelhammer:
There were issue with Goodix fingerprint sensor but as far as i remember it's been solved. my device has FPC fingerprint sensor so had no such issues.

I haven't seen anyone complaining about fingerprint sensor in recent few weeks so i can say it is working fine.

If there is any ROM specific issue with fingerprint that someone talking then i don't know because currently i am on Havoc 2.9 and since last week i haven't checked respected ROMs threads and its discussions as i was busy.

4.9 Kernel been added to Redmi 4X which is greatest thing ever could have happened with device, actually i wasn't expecting it as Redmi 4X is almost a 3 years old device.

4.9 kernel improves overall performance of device and basically you can expect even longer support for Redmi 4X in the future.
