Miui 12.5 issue? - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi I have recently bought a second hand redmi note 8 pro to use with a drone I have also recently purchased.
everything has been working fine. Until last night 21/07/21 I had a notification of the new miui 12.5 update. which I left to do its thing. The issue is the screen does not respond to touch. it appears to boot up ok gets to the screen shown. I have had it on fastboot screen and also wiped all data (can't seem to get mi assistance to work.)
Has anyone else had the update/ issue?
How would you recommend proceeding.

I have the same problem (Redmi Note 8 Pro Global - MI firmware). After updating from 12.0.8, the touchscreen stopped working.
I had to roll back through the fastboot. I also tried to flash version 12.5.1.0 via fastboot - the problem persists.
The phone had a replacement display module, but with an original one.
There is an idea to try to flash it with a version for Indonesia or China, but so far I have not tested it.

Issue with SIM selection for calling on MIUI 12.5 Global - Redmi Note 8 Pro​
Anyone experiencing this bug with default SIM for call?
The Google Dialer will ask for which SIM to call on reboot even tho I already set it as SIM1 or SIM2 in the Settings.
The workaround is manually reselecting the SIM but only effective till next reboot.

Same exclusive Xiaomi Update Fail Forget about help or information from the official Support.
Connect a mouse with a USB-C to USB Adapter and backup your personal data.

I have exact same issue on this update. I also replaced the screen some time ago. I belive it's android 11 problem, because CFWs like PE doesn't work too. ROMs with Android 10 also seems weird to me, because digitizer keeps "jumping" and clicking random places. Android 9 - all works perfectly fine. I am going to find out which partition is used to use touchscreen and check if it's possible to flash it over PE ROM to solve the problems.

I have some problems after updating to MIUI 12.5.1:
1. Have to repeat the procedure twice for uploading any picture from gallery to anywhere on Internet. It doesn't work in first attempt.
2. Fingerprint sensor shows many errors off & on. 3-4 attempts to open the phone. Tried re-registering my fingers.
3. Option of Completely Hide Notch gone
4. While playing Facebook videos, sound continues, video stops.
Too annoying these bugs are.

Yes, the great manufacturer has kept its information behind the mountain. I have just found a contribution to this in the mi community.
It only briefly mentions that repairs should be made with an official display. I also do not understand why Xiaomi makes such a secret of it and does not give the reasons. Link
I have installed the Global 12.0.5 Stable QGGEUXM and I am also aware of these display anomalies.
Do you have any results in the project?

I've tested all partitions but any of them seems to be changing display driver. So sorry, no luck there, I think we're stuck with android 9. It looks like it is hard-coded into firmware.

I noticed a break in a layer of the display within 14 days of use. There was no heavy use or pressure on the display. Xiaomi - K.O.

How to bring back the option of "Completely Hide the Notch" in MIUI 12.5.1?

I have just realised I didn't update. I was having lots of trouble fixing this. I think my reply from xiaomi was wait for the next update this might fix it.
Thank you to Boo-Kah-Kee, I never knew you could plug a mouse in.
anyway I eventually got it back to the prievious rom by following this Video.
No more updates it works fine.

Touchscreen freeze

Hello !
I made the march update yesterday, and now my touchscreen freezes if I don't use it for a few seconds. To make it work again, I have to lock/unlock the phone, or to tap the screen until it works.
It's probably a software issue, because it happenned just after the update. Does someone have the same problem ?
I'm having the same problem. It's the right 3rd of the screen that becomes unresponsive. If you swipe over on the left side of the screen, you will be able to use the right side again. This is my second day with this and it's becoming incredibly annoying.
I just realised it ! For me, the only responsive part is the left 4th of the screen. I hope Google Will fix it soon. I don't want to reset my phone.
I'm not seeing this issue... how long is it taking to freeze? also what are you guys running? stock or stock rooted?
I'm running stock. If you wait 5 seconds after the scroll bar vanishes, the right side of the screen is unresponsive. If you swipe the left side, it works again. It's really a problem when I'm doing remote desktop to my computer and when I'm playing candy crush.

You should post any post March update issues you are having, here. https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/nexus/other-discussions/2HXGtYoPwa4
I'm running stock too. It takes aproximately 6 seconds for the touchscreen to freeze.
I just tried to reboot in safe mode : it doesn't solve the problem.

Does it happen in recovery or bootloader?
I just received the update this afternoon and I'm encountering the same issue. Quite frustrating.
I got my Nexus 5X yesterday with exactly the same issue.. Flashing any older factory image did not help. :/
I wonder if opting in to the Android N beta would have any effect. Not sure I'm ready to commit to running beta on my only phone; but I am tempted.

On my phone the problem existed on stock rom (I tried 3 drifferent versions), cm13 and N preview. I do not think that flashing any other Rom would make any difference.

Appreciate the information on your experience. Hopefully this is something Google can track down and is correctable in software.
Exact same issue for me since MHC19J. This is driving me nuts.
I've tried all versions except a full CM ROM. So stock, beta, and a few different AOSP builds. I cannot reproduce any screen issues being reported here.
Is there maybe a common app that you all share? No one has mentioned whether you are rooted or not.

the best example: Open Wifi Analyzer (in Listview) wait for results and the tap the "Back" Button. (not taping or swayping around during the wifi scan process).
Open Wifi-Analyzer (Listview) wait for result and tap the Backbutton. It took 34 seconds and 34 tapps on the backbutton until the screen turns off, but no reaction until i activate the screen.
Nexus 5X
Stock
Build MHC19J; OTA
No Root Access
for me it's beginnig on entering the SIM-PIN. It takes a few tries to enter my PIN.
Sometimes it's the Back-Button (Back - Menu - Switching Apps)
And it seems to be on the left side of the screen

I'm running stock without root.
Reviewing the previous posters list of apps, the only things I have in common are the standard Google apps.
Stock without root.
The issue is still there even when rebooting in safe mode, so it seems to be unrelated to any installed app.
Time to RMA I guess.
Edit:
Just read this in a reddit thread:
Update: I've managed to fix my issue by reverting back to a 6.0.0 build and formatting the cache,system, and userdata using the fastboot tool during the new rom install.

Same issues here.. Just found that thread.. Got my phone yesterday and thought it might be a hardware issues and thinking of shipping it back.. But now..
Tried newest factory image unrooted, CM13, Bliss, DU every single ROM has it.
It also appears directly after bootloader I think, where you can lock your Phone before booting the real ROM.. It's a pain in the ass!
I have this too on my wife's phone. My 5x is fine. March update caused the right side of screen to go dead to touches after 6 seconds of non use...
So annoying ..

Camera frusturating problem

Hey guys,
I have a weired camera problem and I coudn't find anyway to fix it
The camera was working perfectly fine until one day It started being unresponsive sometimes and now I got to the point where it rarely responds!!!
When I open the camera sometimes it just shows black screen and I'm unable to do anything then after about 3 secs phone reboots and sometimes the camera app launches but the viewfinder is just black and sometimes it simply fc's!!!
I tried several camera apps (manul camera....) but in vain!
My first attempt to fix this was deleting data and cache for camera app! then I made a factory reset then I tried updating to android N DP4 and then I rolled back and in vain!!!
Once the camera srops working it will not work again until I reboot the phone and after I reboot it the camera will work for about 5 minutes to 1 hour then the problem starts showing!!!
Hope yo Guys can help me solve the issue I really like the phone and I don't wanna lose it!
Thx in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I would send it in for warranty or repairs if possible.
Did you managed to get it fixed? I have the exact same issue. I think it first started happening after the latest security updates. I hope it's not hardware related, this phone just came back from lg repairs for faulty digitizer.
i got the same problem. i just try to install the final version of android 7.0 and hope the problem won't show again...
i'm anyway quite sure it's not a hardware problem, cause when the camera works it works great and shoots perfect photos and videos...i think it's the last security pack update which causes these problems, and maybe the solution will be the new security pack update, of september
I had the same issue, and I simply couldn't fix it by any means. It just started to happen after 3 months of use, and came out of nowhere.
I had to return it, luckily it was amazon......
Really weird.

Question Pixel 6 Random Freezes & Rebooting

I am facing random freezing and reeboting issue with my pixel 6. It happens more than 7/8 times a day. Very annoying and Google is not responding to this issue. There are many similar complains like this in Google forum and there is no proper reply from Google. December update didn't fix the issue. Is it hardware issue or software? Help please.
Tried a factory reset? Are you rooted? Are you able to unlock the bootloader? If so, try flashing the full firmware image or Official Google Android Flash Tool.
If none of that helps, I'd exchange it with Google for a new replacement. Good luck!
Its a known bug https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gboard-intermittent-freeze.4377931

My one freezes randomly and not specifically for any reason or for any apps.
Do you have the december update installed? Try to disable all your Accessibility Services from the settings.
[Update: A fix is coming] Google Pixel 6 owners are facing an annoying screen freezing issue
If you own a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro and are affected by the screen freezing bug, there’s a temporary workaround to resolve the issue.
www.xda-developers.com
Random rebooting seems to be a "common" Pixel 6 problem. Most were only able to fix it by getting a new device from Google, some were able to fix it with a factory reset.
Strangely enough, I had the same problems on my first Pixel 6 - then I got a replacement model, got the backup from my old phone (p4 xl) going (again) and never had any reboot problems. Then a couple days ago I rooted my Pixel 3 and transfered my files over from my main Pixel 6 Pro and got the same reboot problem on my Pixel 3 now (~about every 10 minutes of active usage). I found out that it's probably connected to the fingerprint scanner, since about every third time that I use the FP on my P3, the phone reboots. I'll probably try a factory reset on my P3, since I know that the phone worked without issue before. It was probably an unwise idea to get a backup from my P6 going, but then again, F*** Google for not giving us a decent file transfer system. If the only way to get a functioning product is to get a replacement or start with a clean slate, that's a joke in 2021.
That tells me that it's a software issue, but since it's hard to pinpoint/replicate and at least with some P6 Pro users even a factory reset was not able to help, you might have to get a replacement model.

Even vibration?
I wondered that as well. I also turn off animations. The phone switches screens faster and the fingerprint scanner works better sans animations.
May be a coincidence but.....
I have never had this problem until today.
I usually have animations off. Set them to 0.5 today and my phone froze twice.
I've turned animations off again.
(I also have accessibility services off and have not changed that)

Question OP9 Pro Netflix unwatchable, darkness problem with HDR content (LE2123_11_C.62)?

Hi, first of all, I did all the googling, read reddit etc. so the following problem seems to be quite common, u find it a lot on the internet, but maybe I have not seen a possible fix yet...
So, I got the OP9 Pro yesterday, did all the updates, so iam on LE2123_11_C.62 EU right now. When I watch netflix, the dark / black colours, are so dark, I cant see anything. Video quality looks really, really bad, basically unwatchable. Brightness in the system and netflix settings obv highest possible lvl.
I tried the following:
- changed all the video/picture enhancement options in the settings menu, on/off, combinations, everything. Nothing helped.
- Restarted the phone, tried PIP, uninstalled the Netflix app via ADB (u cant uninstall it manually caus they put it as systems app...), reinstalled via play store
- turned off HW-Overly or so in developer settings, caus someone said this will fix it, it didnt.
I basically read 2h of reddit and whatever not threads, I tried so many possible fixxes, nothing helped.
The colours/blacks are so bad, I cant watch netflix at all, makes no sense. It seems to be a long term problem of this phone, caus u find people complaining abt this back from their OP 7. This is only a problem with the dark/black colours and probably HDR?
For a almost 1000€ Phone, this is just ridiclious... I come from a Poco x3 and even though that screen was garbage, at least it would play netflix content properly...
Maybe I missed smt and there is a fix for this?
Thx so much, if I dont find a way to fix it, this phone goes back to OP.
no idea what to tell you. i'm stock and rooted no issues. have u tried uninstalling netflix and reinstalling after a restart? if that persist try reinstalling your current or latest firmware. OP9 Pro is a great phone with a spectacular screen
Hello ,
I have exactly the same dark and yellowish image problem on netflix and amazon prime video.
it seems that the problem only occurs in hdr or high quality video. so I think that with the netflix 1 screen or 2 screens subscription there should not be the same problem.
indeed in the netfix settings if I lower the video quality (saving data) the image becomes much brighter.
I think there is really a big bug on hdr content, and what is more worrying is that the problem is still present in the oos13 beta despite the problem having been reported several times...
the problem seems to be known for a long time and still not corrected and affecting many users:

3. No response after screen off and need to long press power button to restart (Randomly)
4. Fingerprint sensor not working in always-on-display (Randomly)
4. Camera lagging when using social media apps (Randomly)
Waiting a stable OxygenOS ROM update for China version.

Can I get official update after flashing this?
Also, I found that there is a bug after A09 to A10.
For example, when I tap something in the telegram, the tapped item should be greyed shortly. But I cannot see this....

Based on what author said, you should be able to directly install official updates.
Did you factory reset your smartphone?
Let me know if it still randomly shuts off.
I have PB110 512GB, and the seller did flash the oxygen os (CPH2447_11_A.06) for me. My oneplus 11 is NOT ROOTED, and bootloader is NOT UNLOCKED, I cannot afford to lose security over unlocked bootloader
I cannot get any incremental updates so far and is stucked on A.06 for some time now. HOWEVER, I managed to find some workarounds some of the bugs, and my oneplus 11 is serving me as my daily driver, without TOO MUCH issue, it is now "quite stable".
From the said issue :
1. Auto brightness not working all time
2. Wake up screen but super laggy refresh rate (Randomly)
TURN OFF auto brightness and uses MANUAL brightness.
ALSO, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT use QHD, STICK IT TO FHD mode, NOT STANDARD, but FHD MODE for displays, RESTART your phone if you get resolution after switching to FHD. FHD will eventually FIX some of the issues like FLASHY LOCK SCREEN, and other issues.
YOUTUBE LAG/OTHER FPS ISSUES : Use SETEDIT and adjust Peak Refresh from 120.001 fps to 59.99 fps, this will fix most of the stutering issue
3. No response after screen off and need to long press power button to restart (Randomly)
This bugs is seems to be NOTIFICATIONS. You have to CLEAR NOTIFICATIONS from time to time, DO NOT let notifications hanging and keep pushing too much into your notification bar, once a treshold is hit, the lock screen will crash and causes you need to REBOOT by pressing power button to restart
4. Fingerprint sensor not working in always-on-display (Randomly)
This got no fix, HOWEVER,off and on the screen will fix the issue, NOT a big deal.
4. Camera lagging when using social media apps (Randomly)
I dont use the social media camera that much often but I didnt see issue in using camera in whatsapp.
