[Discussion] Missing (on purpose) 1/32s shutter speed (Global/EU version) - Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion

It's been like that since the first A10 update on February, (I'm global version)I'm on V11.0.14.0 now and it's has yet to be fixed, it's really starting to annoy me as I used to use that feature almost everyday, but it seems that Xiaomi is doing that on purpose, even the EU update has this bug now, people have been reporting ever since the first A10 update on February but they still released the EU update without fixing it (because they really don't want to), so I starting to think that we should make a petition on change.org or something because I've never seen such a bad customer service/development team from any other company in my life, I think it's just because this is stock Android not MIUI. I've been using the Feedback app since the first day they released it but i didn't get any response regarding this issue, doubt they check those reports, I had hopes that this was a bug it looks like it's a feature for people with Stock Android, so they can sell more MIUI phones.
Any thoughts?

I've lost any faith in Xiaomi support and customer service. I can confirm that, as European consumer, I've never seen a company ignoring their userbase as Xiaomi. I'm more disappointed as I was using Xiaomi phones and devices for years and now I feel like they're totally betraying their customers. No petition will change this attitude and they confirmed it, since they say that they make money through software and ads and not with the hardware.
Best way to use the A series is using a custom rom: until now I feel that Pixel Experience builds on A2 lite and A3 are way better than stock roms.

In customs roms and in the global version they are also lost and in all apps, not only the stock camera, they leave us 1/4 or at most 1 / 3s of exposure time, this problem I have seen in all roms whose base or vendor is 10, even in many gcam, except some, that if they manage to jump the exposure time limit, which makes me think that it is something that is in the vendor of the new update, in the global rom It has been reported since the first failed updates, the 48Mpx have also disappeared in the Open Camera, Android 10 has been a disaster for the cameras and apparently it is the intention of Xiaomi the limitation because if they had not corrected it a while ago.
I think the custom roms should all be done again with vendor 9 as the base, instead of vendor 10, since these limitations are absurd, or in any case find the solution.

Should be fixed with the upcoming May security patch updates as some users have been reporting.

Understood but any OEM can discard the phone just to increase the sell of new phones, Honor 9i, Honor 9 lite, Honor 7X. Atleast they are considering this 6X because it was one of the most selling phone and capable of handling Oreo. There are various teams and levels involved in such decisions. R&D (mostly consider new device), PR, marketing, Operations various teams need to be involved in such decisions and get the required approval before R&D plans for it.
This was a good move to get the response, collect the numbers and then send it to upper team for consideration.
BTW thats my point and I am not influenced here. Everyone can have different opinion

Redmi note 5 pro Automatically updating

Hi
My redmi note 5 pro was running on 9.2.4 (which is the most stable version in my opinion, u guys may have other opinions) . Yesterday n8, i put my phone on charging, when i checked today mrng, i found that, my redmi note 5 pro got updated to 9.2.13 automatically. I am 100% sure that i disabled automatic update in settings . Anyone know how does it happened?. My phone is connected to wifi network 24×7.
After that I again rolled back to 9.2.4, but again it's auto updating.
Anyone know, how to disable it??

Everybody knows this such a bad manufacturer tendency to force auto updates on their devices. Im sure if many people asks Xiaomi about this, they will tell that this is a bug, but my opinion is that they did it purposely. And nothing we can do here.
My humble advice is to use latest version because its really better, many bugs fixed there.

If it was any other OEM, i would surely update my phone. But unfortunately it's xiomi. They will only release buggy updates.
For redmi note 5 pro Indian version , xiomi released more than 5 updates , none of them are bug Free (9.2.13 was somewhat bug free, but its not as good as 9.2.4)
One thing i noticed that, these automatic update was not taking place before 1 week. My phone was running on 9.2.4 for past 2-3 months without auto updates like these.
Update your phone to 9.5.19 and you wont regret it (most stable ROM with better battery life) and be happy that xiaomi is rolloing out software updates quickly
Yeah xiaomi seems to do at least some work with software, compared to other manufactorers

Absolutely true.
They are ruining there own image with these kind of buggy updates
As you may know android source code consists of many many lines of code, and it is only increasing. As you also may know, adding some features leads to increase in code lines, which may (and in long run will) introduce some bugs. This is a rule. (I am not talking about bricking, introduced by a reasoned decision of company, to force people have a latest software, to cut costs and ease being)
Debugging is a hard work, and needs resources. Different manufactorers apply different amounts of resources to debugging, and it is a big off topic subject.
Right now I can compare latest Sony phone with Xiaomi phone, and see that Xiaomi did a much bigger work in latest years with software than Sony, which stuck in 3 years old software.

Razer Phone with a slice of Pie?

To start the thread off for questions and answers regarding whether the Razer Phone will get Android 9 anytime soon, i have created this space for news and information that you wonderful people can use. So...as Dr Evil would have said...."I'm the boss, need the info"
Looking at how the razer phone is project treble compatible, we will most likely get android pie.
Probably won't happen officially. Unofficially with Project Treble yes. I think Razer have given up on the there first generation phone.

I'm a little ignorant to this while Treble thing but from what I've read, isn't this supposed to be the point of Treble? So that we don't have to wait for Razer to push the update out and it can come directly from Google? Why has every other OEM supported beta builds of P but Razer has not?
Signed,
Very confused person

The point of treble was to make updating easier by minimizing the amount of work done on the source code of any rom. Basically razer now has less to do in order to make a new update but will they do it? Not sure. Maybe yes maybe no.

I think Google needs to slow the update cadence a bit. It takes years for each new OS to "percolate" down, and by then the device is 3 OS versions behind. 2 years between major releases would be a decent start. And if they quit breaking stuff in between. I know Treble is supposed to help, but it hasn't seemed to make releases any faster on OEM side.

Still no update and not able to join beta on PAR-LX1M

exactly what the title says, wasnt able to join the beta and there's no emui 9 update anywhere. I received December security patch yesterday but still no pie. Anyone else with the same problem?
Yes no update is coming to PAR-LX1M
I bought PAR-LX1M FOR 495$ And it is only 4 GB ram and No mods and custom roms for it and no official update for it cause huawei is idiot company so i sold it and bought pocophone f1 it is so much far better so it is advice you should do like me cause no future for huawei nova cause the company focus only on mate and P series.

You don't have to worry about updates.
I have the same device (same variant but you've paid a bit too much)
the update is being rolled out and you can already find it in the firmware finder

Customs ROMs needed for black shark 3

Hi Developers, how are you doing ? I wish you can make ROMs for black shark phones, because the company has forgotten that they have a line called Black shark!
Joyui 11 MP3 is full of bugs and security patch is 05-06-2020!!

They would love to but without the kernel source, it wont be possible.
Bs3 users need to unite and oblige Blackshark to released this expensive phone's kernel sources. Their firmwares are buggy, inconsistent OTA updates, outdated security patches. Seriously if Blackshark's Dev team CANT COMPLY to the user needs, they shouldn't consider releasing any phones at all. Or if they really decided to abandoned a device development after selling lots of units to the world, atleast leave your consumers with the kernel source so the community can make the best out of their crappy promises devices esp if its $500+ devices
This a a complete deception, greediness, lack of responsibility, false promises, all out lies to the consumers/world. I guess that's typically Chinese for you?
They should be sued because maybe they dont want you to change their phone's software maybe because it's their means of spying in your countries. They sold us the hardware and they want full control on the software level for those hardware switches which makes sense. It's like hitting 4 targets with just one stone which is very clever indeed. China prolly will rule the world in 10 years from now .
I regret buying this phone and when anyone ask me for recommendations, i will say "NEVER BUY A BLACKSHARK PHONE"

It means the Joyui 12 global coming to Black Shark 3 next month. But I guess custom roms would be better! I wish we could had the kernel source !
one of my biggest mistake in 2020 was to buy this garbage phone, a $600 phone that can't even play netflix HD.

Agreed. And no NFC, either. This probably isn't the worst phone I've ever owned, but it's not too far off, and it's not really an upgrade from my previous phone, the Mate 20X. This has at least as many software issues as that phone, but overall lower quality software and hardware, I'd say. It's a gimmick phone, not a great phone
