Hello,
Whenever I use the camera button on my ZL to open the camera (which is of course what it's for ), the settings I last used are reset and I end up back in (the crappy) superior auto mode!!
When I use the camera icon in app drawer it goes back to the correct settings that I set.
This is very very annoying because:
1) Superior auto sucks
2) I want to use multi auto focus mode because all the other modes have auto-focus (so there's no use for the ZL's button).
When I open with camera button and press settings, it also goes back to "good" settings.
Any help?
Thanks
Well, I can only say that this is by design.
Camera launch by camera key called "quick launch" and generally itended for situations when you need to take picture in a hurry, without time to fiddle with settings, in any possible situation - hence default to full auto. In camera settings you can also make it to instantly take picture, without even requiring second press.
If you want to launch camera in "leisure pace" with custom settings and all, you have to use camera app icon.

I understand. However with the ZL, for me, using the hardware button is by far easier and faster and I don't necesarlly use it to "quickly take a picture" but more to open the camera all the time.
It would be OK if superior mode was in fact any good
One M8 running Viper ROM v1.8.1.
A lot of times when I open the camera app, I see nothing but a black screen and the on screen buttons (back/home/recents). No matter where I tap, I can't see anything. However, I can still hear that it's still working in selfie mode, because if I tap where the shutter button should be, I hear the countdown, and I actually get a photo in my gallery afterwards. In order to get the camera running properly I basically have to kill the app, clear it from recents and do this several times, hoping that it'll let the camera app run properly. It's kind of pot luck if it does or not. Usually I have to do this process 4-5 times before the camera app finally opens and I can actually see the viewfinder and choose the rear camera and such.
Does anyone know what might be happening? I've tried clearing the camera app data, and resetting everything in the app to default and that didn't help.
Same issue mate
I'm on same rom v2.5 cleared data and still no joy did you fix yours?
hey guys,
i just installed the modded google camera app and set it to be the default camera app. however when double tapping volume down, it still opens miui camera. i even tried to freeze miui camera with tb and now nothing happens, when double tapping volume down.

No, I think it always open MIUI camera.
So this is a problem I've had for a while now, searching around the internet I couldn't find much information.
Anyway so what happens is that when I'm watching a youtube video on portrait and I open up FB messenger through the chat heads, the screen begins to flicker black, but only on the portion of the screen where the video is playing in the background. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
The issue doesn't appear if I switch to FB messenger directly. It only appears when I open the app through the "chat heads" feature
I have the same problem with the bubble chat in Youtube with Messenger. I think this problem come when an App had the Draw over other apps permission.
I had a lot of Flickering when i use Fluid Navigation Gesture that use that permission too that include Youtube like you said, In Call UI, Chrome and WhatsApp when you open the camera included in WhatsApp from Main Menu of WhatsApp.
I also have the same problem.
When I launched Chrome or click the news in Google Feed, my screen flicker black and while for about one seconds then back to normal.
I tried to record the flickering using screen recorder, but the flickering effect are not recorded.

Yes , this is known issue from Pie .
Here;s what you can do.
Go to Setting > at the search bar , search for " Disable HW Overlay " - turn it on (means disable) .
That will do , the flickering will no longer happen , heres the trick , everytime u restart your phone , u need to disable it again .

Have you notice more battery consumption or more heating after disabling it?
Automatic screen calibration usually sorts everything out, its on every android device.
Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...
I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

After you give all permissions through the app, go to settings/apps/permissions/other permissions,find True Edge and give the permissions again for Modify system settings and Show on lock screen...

thank you I just seek an application like this :good:
Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.
Otherwise True Edge doesn`t work - no matter of permissions given.
At least on Chinese stable rom - in the signature below.
Could someone make it work?

It's working all the time...
What is the problem? Did you gave the permissions again?
And remove it from the battery optimization...

It's On...

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

thanks, now it works, i had not given the permissions again.
Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

I have had the same problem with Viber and I resolved it by turning off Light screen for messages in Viber settings...
I don't know about Whatsapp, I rarely use it...

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

Looking for that too. I stopped using this app just because of this.

This is unbeleaveable! It really works now for missed calls with latest update.
If there will be a solution for WA too, then it is a perfect app for me.

Sent the dev a message. With he solves that, I will probably buy pro version. It's the only thing that keep me away
I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.

Is it possible to receive Viber notification on this updated Always-on-display?
