Back button oversensitive on Android 9? (Video incl.) - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello does anyone have the similar problem as I do it phone if defected?
Video link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/rwBpSYvaCZKdcWmy7
Thank you in advance ???

I just tried it on my phone, same happens on my phone too, could be related to software and the input area of the keys. I don't think there is much to do about it for now but you can try using navigation apps on Google Play (e.g. Fluid NG)

YES!! This is the most annoying problem I've had with this phone. I'm constantly closing apps because of this. Back action shouldn't extend to the edge of the screen. It should be limited like on the other side (the recents side)

Is there any way to report issue to the manufacturer or Google perhaps? ?

You can use the pre-installed app called "Feedback" but I doubt that they will ever care lol

Touch input offset in some apps

Hi guys,
I noticed a decent vertical offset with all my touch inputs. Whenever I press the screen, it recognizes the touch event about 1cm below the actual input I made.
The weird thing is that this happens only in certain apps, speaking of chrome for example.
Furthermore the hover point of my spen is in the right position, but as soon as I touch the screen, it's too low. Very annoying when pressing links in chrome..
Anyone experiencing the same issue? I'm running the latest firmware bmf2 with my n5100
Ps: you can check it by hovering over the screen, pressing the spen button and then drawing a line..
Edit: this example seems to work only with gmd spen control enabled. Nevertheless the described issue is still present when using chrome and spen control disabled...
Edit:
Possible workarounds:
- flip to landscape and back
- use chrome in multi window mode
I can confirm I have the same problem I thought it was just me lol.

Thanks for your reply
Found out a strange thing:
If I start chrome in multi window mode (using alternate window mode) it seems to work just fine. Does this work for you, too?
At least it seems to be a software issue.. probably fixable (hopefully )
It's the same for me too. Only in Chrome and sometimes the top part of the page is hidden under the address bar.
I think is software related.

Same on mine as well - very frustrating, and I don't see anything on Samsung support pages
Happens on mine too. To clear it try flipping it to landscape and back

I had this problem also but only in Chrome. Finally gave up and went to Opera. So far zero problems. I recommend you try that.
Same here. I hope an update will come soon.

This is a known problem in Chrome:

As you note, you can easily fix the offset by switching to landscape mode and back. I'm am curious, though, which other apps you've observed this problem with. The only app I've had a problem with is Chrome.

And gmd spen control. If you activate it (try lite version) and draw a line with spen button pushed, you will notice exactly the same offset. Imo it's the same issue, though I have no idea what should cause it for only a few apps and not for others as well..

Interesting... does it go away if you switch to landscape then back to portrait the way Chrome does?

Nope, still present. But didn't play much with it since I prefer gesture control. Haven't reported it to the developer either..
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=260804
Please star the issue, unless one of us has some epic insight on how to fix it.
Seems from the comments on the bug that a fix will be coming in Chrome 29, whenever that gets rolled out. Those running Chrome Beta should see it sometime next week.

Hi. I experience exactly the same problem. Meanwhile our twin Redmi 6 Pro is running it perfectly.
Any way to make this work?
I have 3/32 version.
Waiting for official Android Pie to check if it works with no-buttons mode.
Can someone please make a QR code for your Mi A2 Lite using https://vr.google.com/cardboard/viewerprofilegenerator/, upload it to Imgur, and reply here with a link? Thanks!

I spoke too soon. The viewpoint issues have been fixed, but the video quality is horrendous. The same videos I used to test under 8.1 look like garbage on Pie.
I have just updated to Pie. Everything stayed the same for me
Which app are you using? I am using official Cardboard app and Fulldive VR.
PS. I had fingerprint gestures working all the time.
EDIT: Well, not everything, but left/right zones are still not equal.

Camera crashing

Has anyone else had issues with the camera crashing?
I have to either reboot or clear all apps in memory at least once a day as I get a error message saying Cannot connect to camera. The camera app will just crash and close with the error message.

No.

For me Developer settings are enabled, the only thing changed is the 3 transition animations set to none.
I have this problem and its very annoying
I also have the problem. Clearing cache or even camera data does nothing. Only hard reboot fixes it for a while. Annoying
I've noticed that when my camera crashes, it takes the last few pictures with it. Almost like it wasn't done working on them and since they didn't save, they're gone after you reboot!
I have been experiencing this problem since the phone was brand new. At one point I had the Chinese version of the phone and I never had a problem with it - only the international version. This makes me believe it's a software bug. Hopefully they have a fix soon.

Mine does that too
Getting this issue too. According to a thread here: https://uk.community.huawei.com/mate-20-series-20/mate-20-pro-camera-error-856 it may be caused by using a third-party launcher.
I'm trying the horrible EMUI stock launcher now to see if the problem persists.
I may just sell this phone. The camera quality is inferior to P20 Pro because two of the cameras are not stabilised. And EMUI is probably the worst UI in the world. I thought Samsung was bad but this is worse.

Not being picky but the tittle in your link is "Mate 20 Pro camera error" not Mate 20x.
I have the 20x AL00 with a 3rd party launcher. Removed the stock launcher via ADB. Never had any camera crash issues. Works flawlessly.
Same camera issue. I'll see if I can get a errorog once this happens again.
Only reboot helps but not long after you take some pics the issue starts again.
Try clearing data and cache for the camera app. That seemed to help for me, I have also since done a factory reset and no camera issues any more.

I did both, without any improvement.
Since going back to the stock launcher and deleting nova I've not had any further occurrence of the camera crashing

Smart Lock menu

Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing

That's what makes me leave miui every time, you can install smart unlock from play store, everything looks like it's going to work but it doesn't.

It's like night & day being back on stock Android. As soon as I started using the PE rom I was overcome with an immense sense of relief, I'd been starting to wonder if I'd made a very expensive mistake by buying the MM3.

Touchscreen a bit "laggy"

tl;dr my phone is laggy only when I'm typing and sometimes reverse letters.
I've had a Xiaomi Mi 5 until recently, then I bought a Redmi Note 8 and I noticed the typing experience isn't the same. I mean, the screen is different and I didn't use MIUI on the Mi 5, but that's the only difference. I use the GBoard app with the exact same configurations as it were on the Mi 5.
The problem lies mostly when I type letters that are in the border of the screen, like "q", "p" or the button that change to the Symbols and Numbers. The typing feels a bit "laggy" and sometimes the q's and p's reverses the order like when I type "problem" it goes like "rpoblem", same with "queue" and it goes like "uqeue". When I type fast, the problem always occurs, when I type slowly it's more rare, but also occurs.
For the center of the screen, no other letters does this reversing thing, but I can feel that when I press the letters, there's a micro-delay between me pressing and the letter actually showing, something that I've never felt while using the Mi 5.
I'm tempted on rooting my phone and changing the OS, but I don't know if it'll solve the problem. Did anyone feel or notice something similar to my rpoblem?
(I've had to correct nearly all the words that came out reversed while writing this)

Is it a hardware issue? Maybe check if it shows up in other apps, if your device is still covered by warranty get it replaced or fixed.

It only happens when I'm typing and I've only tested while using GBoard, it's the app I've always used and I don't want to change.

Used to use Swiftkey, but Microsoft.
I mainly use GBoard, its a good app. Most keyboard apps I see on the store are either paid, riddled with ads or something from Clean Master (data collection, privacy issues, and ads). Your best bet would be sideload a keyboard app from APKMirror such as the Xperia keyboard, remembered that to be quite good.

I don't think it's worth the effort since I'm using it like this for the past three weeks. I'm thinking about unlocking the bootloader next week when I'm home to install another ROM, do you have any suggestions? I don't quite like MIUI.
Also, is there a RN8 Telegram group?

There is Pixel Experience and POSP. Haven't tried either yet though. You can also wait for LineageOS.
Not sure about the telegram group, but there's been some stuff on XDA about telegram groups for a device though.

I think I'm gonna try POSP. For now, I don't want to lose my warranty. About the tianma panel problem (temporary image retention), do you think I should try a replacement?

If you are still under warranty, by all means give it a try.
The replacement may not come with a different panel though, as some have been stating.
Hey man! Did the ROM change fix it?
I just received my RN8 today and immediately noticed the laggy borders. Even in the nav bar.
