[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Moanderdj:
has anyone ever noticed that the phone screen flickers awfully when unlocked with a fingerprint? the screen can flash a moment after unlocking and artifacts are created in menu animations. everything takes literally half a second.

the problem only occurs on all Xiaomi.EU MIUI 12 beta versions and on the stable version. I didn't check the global version, but I think it will be the same.

it wouldn't bother me much if it didn't create terrible graphic artifacts sometimes.

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] MrineK:
Same thing here on miui 12 betas. I was sacred that i damaged my phone in work.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] RakeeGo:
Yep, Noticed this on Xiaomi.eu 12.0.3.0 Stable. The main thing I noticed when I installed the update.

The previous ones were smooth. The blurring is also not good on the latest, the blur goes away real quick when exiting notif bar making the transition look like you set animation to 0 on devs settings. But the exact opposite on the Control Panel. Closing it, you'll see the delay in the blur. Can see icons still blurred before it goes away. Too delayed that it is noticeable. Setting .5x on animation and transition fixes it but that awful unlocking animation flicker become more noticeable when doing so.

I hope next update will be better.

Same 12.0.3.0 build? Noticed the issue on 12.0.3.0. I believe indian Stable is still on 12.0.1.0. On that build we did't have the issue as well.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Moanderdj:
It is interesting that the problem only occurs when we use the fingerprint on the screen. using the fingerprint on the screen off, does not create artifacts and flickering. all beta versions had this problem, I thought stable version would eliminate this problem.

he does not always occur. and sometimes it is strong that it looks like a phone breaks down.

I wonder what is causing this error. maybe a fingerprint mechanic?

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] mzayd786:
Hi I currently have a EGY CSC A51 but I live in UK. It doesn't have Samsung pay so I want to change it to UK. Do I just have to download the firmware from sammobile and flash it with odin once the June update for UK is released (Egypt already has it) or is there a different method?

Also will there be any problems since mine is the 6gb ram variant and I'm not sure if the UK sells 6gb ram versions only 4gb. But the model number is the same a515f.

1-save all your data

2-download A515F OXM firmware from here ( or another forum )

3-install it with ODIN ( AP + BL + CP + CSC_OMC_OXM_A515FOXM3BTF4_CL18770262_QB31913704_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )

Hello,

On Samsung Galaxy A51, Google Chrome (including other chrome based browsers such as brave) and Google Drive are able to download files to internal storage even when I have denied storage permission to both the apps. Has anyone noticed this? This is a big privacy concern for me as anything can be downloaded to my phone without my permission. Do we have any solution to deny chrome and drive from accessing my internal storage?
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] OldBob65+:
I ALWAYS disable Chrome and use Firefox as my default browser. Just go into your Settings/Apps and make sure you show all apps. Scroll down to Chrome, long click on it, remove the cache and disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] shubhangshah:
I have done the same thing as of now. Using Samsung internet which is working as expected. Tried DuckDuckGo as well which is working fine.

Only Chrome and Brave seems to have this issue. How is this possible? All my bookmarks are on Google Chrome. So it is tough to use another browser. But until Chrome is able to access my storage without permission it will stay disabled. How are they able to download without storage permission? Even Google Drive is able to download files without permission. Do we have any solution to this?

if your device is A515F , you can only flash a A515F firmware ( OJM OLM OXM OWA OWB OWE or OWO )

#The list files are attached to the post

#this is tested on A70 and gTab S4

#Be very careful with Knox, I got into trouble being overzealous, the list I have is safe, but there are still many Knox packages remaining, leave them alone

#if your phone is locked (Knox Guard message will popup), then use Factory reset from stock recovery, or flash stock ROM with Odin, here's where your backup will come in handy

#Third party lists of apps to debloat are also overzealous, use them at your own risk.

fixing the default imput method

I also had this problem and it was driving me mad! However, searching the forum I came across a recommendation to use a little program called SIPchange. I installed this (it's free!) and it allows you to set any imput method as the default. So far it seems to work.

The only problem I now have is that the Letter Recogniser doesn't show me any suggested words as I enter text, despite this option being switched on in the settings. Any ideas anyone?

Could someone create and provide SECURITY PATCHES for OREO and for LG G6 ?

Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't answer this message !

(i.e. answers such as update to PIE (android 9 by LG) or even to android 10 as "LeCorbusier" says.

As every ADULT knows, after 2-3 years a top-notch phone such as LG G6 is not dead !

Mine, at least, in 2020 works very well with OREO, and my only problem is getting security patches for OREO (android 8) and STOP updates for PIE !

I don't need PIE OS (Android 9 by LG), and its so-called improvements !

All I need is "security patches for OREO (android 8) and apps patches for CAMERA and other things similar.

Therefore, I suggest DEVS to think about what they are truly doing : MANTAIN a system of consumerism that is void (such as brands), or help people not throw away phones that still work perfectly well !

Please, help me and help millions of people not over consuming Phones !

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] SkylineDiT:
1. Oreo is outdated and no one is willing to spend so much time to develop security patches for Oreo. Because it's hard to integrate with LGE framework. You could try to use custom rom with newer security patch
