Just got the OTA 8.2.1.0 MAGMIDL update - should I install? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Not sure if this is a stable build. Should I go ahead and install?

Also got it offered here, Global 8.2.1.0.MAGMIDL on OTA. 706MB. It appeared just after opening the updater app.

I've installed and haven't noticed any major improvements. Fingerprint scanner seems to be working faster but may just be my imagination.

There is an UI imrovements where the text is now black for your 3rd party music player in notification cards. Also, I may be going crazy but my battery lasts longer...

What about qfp reader battery drain in previous builds? Is resolved?

Sorry, I never had that problem before, and I don't have it now

activate fingerprint and use it some time. after that check Android system usage. Also check wake look time for Android system.

Please check it installing Wakelock Detector [LITE] from Google Play Store and start it.
Then when it's time to charge the battery start it again, press the first of the three buttons on the top right corner and select "CPU Wakelock".
Tap on "Android System" and post a screenshot.

I've got it installed since Thursday. So far I would say the battery time is the same or slightly better. I do use the fingerprint scanner and I think it's slightly faster than before. Everything else, Bluetooth, Wifi and GPS so far working nice.
Only downside, the Security app had the cleaner function reactivated after the update. I'm pretty sure I had it disabled before. All other functions of the Security app seem to have kept their settings.

You are talking about 8.0.3.0?
That's because there was no problem with qfp-service on the previous version.
I think that's caused by a (bad) attempt to fix the fp reader after many complaints on the official forum.

Better fingerprint reader functionality (Its the only build with a working FP reader for me)
Worse battery life
Slight UI changes.
You decide.

In the meanwhile...
it seems that 8.2 Global Stable has been retired:

Few problems after updating to Marshmallow

Hello!
My current problems after updating to 6.0 are:
-Battery (!) one of the serious problems, the battery just drains like crazy, Chrome take 1-3% every few minutes, i cant use the phone more then 1.5-32hours in average. even less, use.
-The phone became much slower since the update. It is no as smooth as it used to be
My phone is currently at stock rom, I udpated via OTA update and now the phone is barely usable.
Same here.

Make sure you have the latest version of Chrome installed.
Use Greenify or Kin or both to help shut down apps in the background when not needed.

The problem is mostly when im USING Chrome so Greenify wont be a big help here, btw i dont have root so its not so much effective without it.

after downgrading to LP, i got my 3hrs minimum screen on time. The phone barely heats and the performance became much better.
The problem is with the MM update i guess.
Hope it helps you.

Update to MM and do a factory reset right after and restart your phone, should be smooth sailing after a couple of charges.. No lag or batt drain here

[Q] How is your experience with Nougat so far?

Hello all,
As the title says, what is your opinion about Nougat? After reading so many bug related posts here and in reddit, im frustrated to update to the newest version of android. How does it compares to marsmalow in terms of battery, performance and bugs? Is it safe to update now, of do your suggest to wait a little longer for a bugfix update? And finally, if your suggest me to update, do your recomend any custom rom/ kernel?
Thanks in advance.
Fine, I love my 5X, but there are some bugs that I have:
*In Whatsapp audios or call if I put my face in the phone (or simple if I cover the distance sensor) the screen goes black and I can't turn on again...maybe if a press the power button 3 times the screen turns on. that is REALLY annoying!, I dont know if is a software problem or if my tempered glass is the real problem...
*The screen rotates very easy...sometimes I move my phone just a little and the screen rotates...
*When screen turns off it doesnt fade "slowly"...its something cosmetic but I dont like it haha

Hm, i dont use whatsapp so i dont mind if there is a bug about it. Do you have the same problem during calls too? Also, what about battery and performance?
I have these bugs:-
1. I have a problem with the battery percentage toggle, i change it to like "everytime" but sometimes it auto switches back to "only when charging", in 6.0.1 there was only an option to show percentage which worked fine.
2. I also have a problem after sep security update the swipe up from overview to open multiwindow doesnt work, it is on in the settings tho, it worked on the first 7.0 aug security one but now it doesnt.

This features disable automatically when you go to System ui tuner. Just enable it and don't touch this settings.
Also, I have a bug with double icon of alarm clock in status bar, like on screenshot. Reboot can fix it.

I recently reverted back to marshmallow, I was getting horrible battery drain. Like 10℅ an hr while in my pocket. I had to leave it on battery saver mode if I wasn't going to be near a charger. But besides that it's awesome, love all the new features.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
For me, unlocking the device harder. I have to swipe further in order to do it, and it also happens when I want to swipe a notification at the lock screen.
In addition Spotify song playing from google now through an Android Wear does not work unless the Nexus is unlocked.
Finally, battery life is not really god in my case.
After reading your replies, i decided to stay in marsmalow for a couple of months. Thanks everyone
It's only been a couple days for me but everything is working well on the stock OTA update so far.
I like the new features and Doze is working brilliantly again so there is a noticable improvement to battery life.

I'm on stock+ 7.0 Nougat everything work very Well no problème here on Nougat .... Very good 7.0 Nougat

I'm happy on 7.0 but i would like xposed and custom Rom with theme engine , substratum is to young

4.1.1 vs open beta 13

Suggest me......
search the forums and make your own decision
OB13 is better since you don't need to install magisk for the touch latency update. They finally fixed the latency issue and the speed gains from it are pretty noticeable. Everything else is pretty much the same thing.
but android system take lot of battery in standby mode in beta13.

Except there is no new OOS Launcher, and no auto night mode in 4.1.3

Face Unlock much slower after today's update =(

After updating to 43 OTA 004, Faceunlock is no longer instant. now you see first the lockscreen flash and then UI slide in. I went back to 43 OTA 003, but same situation.
before it was just press powerbutton/doubletap screen and the screen turned on showing instantly UI whereever you left off. just like all the reviewers showed it. I dont have file to go back to inital firmware 001 .... :/
VERY DISAPPOINTING, it really breaks the "instant" feeling. hope they fix it soon.
meanwhile, no speed increase in fingerprint reader. still slightly slower than OP3.
UPDATE: solved - it is Nova Launcher with a custom wallpaper that caused this -> back to Oneplus launcher, set new wallpaper = FaceUnlock instant again!
Not a terrible trade-off for more security.
FP sensor still fast af.

ewww i hope not, then there is no difference than what was on the OP3/T smart lock, i liked the option that u didn't have to swipe up, i will prob return mine if this is the case.

thanks, ok then i did something to cause it... hm too bad
Here on 4.7.2 its also slow.
I had the same problem and factory reset: face unlock is back to being instant, and the finger print reader is noticeably faster. It is troublesome, however, that an OTA forced me to factory reset a 3 day old phone...
I have also reset after update but not solved.
I updated homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper with a custom one and experienced a slight drop on face unlock speed. Meaning that I was able to see the lockscreen for 1/10 of a second before the homescreen was there. I reverted the wallpaper choosing one of oneplus 's and face unlock speed was back to instant. Just a tip.
Works fine for me. I'm on FreedomOS based on Oxygen 4.7.2.

Question Oxygen OS 12 Idle Touch Sampling Rate

In the "touchMultiTest" tool, the touch sampling rate remains 0, untill the finger is moved quite a bit, the resultant feedback is abrupt and inaccurate.
Noticable while sniping in PUBG and scrolling slowly.
This is an extremely annoying issue which was nonexistent in Android 11 older 0xygen OS
This problem is present in all the Android 12 builds of OOS/color OS.
Can others confirm this and bring it to OnePlus' attention?
What can i do to let OnePlus know about this on their "community" app?
Quite possibly the app needs to be updated for the feature to work with newer API

Not an app specific issue.
1. If you have a thick case on that doesn't let heat out your SOC might throttle
2. If you have a screen protector /tempered glass on, try without it or try RMA

Tried all that, i can confirm that this is an issue with OOS 12 and Color OS 12.
All the other Android 12 custom ROMS that I've tried, does not have this problem.
Its an issue specific to OOS 12.
This problem has persisted from way back, since the DP2 (Developer Preview 2) release.

Upon further investigation, I think it has something to do with the kernel used in OOS 12 builds
Switch back to OOS11 if it's a problem.

yes, I have resorted to 11.2.10.10 build, but before I did so, I captured and sent OnePlus a log of what I was facing through the feedback app.
lets see how they respond, they asked me to be patient.

I experienced a whole lotta jank on all of their A12 builds. I never got around to installing OB3, but I did install the build that apparently broke everyone's data (oddly it didn't break mine). I think OB2 was by far the most stable build they put out for A12.
I tried PA for a bit but I'm a features guy and went back to OOS11.

What is "monet" ?
Also im currently on the C.44 build of OOS 12 on my LE2125.
Idk what OnePlus did, but the touch "deadzone" issue is non-existent ONLY in PUBG mobile.....things are perfect there.
But its present everywhere else and in all the other games ( PUBG New State, COD Mobile, etc) ...
The touch "deadzone" issue is undeniably apparent now...
Easily observed when switching between "PUBG New State" and "PUBG Mobile"

PUBG/PUBG New State and some other popular games has this issue fixed.
It was indeed an API related issue.

I was having the issue in the launcher even. In c.60
Even using Facebook and all other apps. During scrolling and holding the scroll with a finger
The problem very well does still persist throughout c.61.
By "system fluency", OnePlus probably means animation improvements.
