Mi6 strange problems

Hello
im new to Xiaomi, used samsung s2 & s5
So far i have strange problems - maybe its because i used only till 6.0.1 ver
mostly i play Lineage 2 revolution and pokemon go on it.
so far:
1. even after i locked lineage2 and pokemon , they still restart if i switch for even 10 sec to whatsapp/facebook/cantacts/sms
2. while charging with Type C charger (samsung type C) my screen gets really but really sensitive... if i try to dial 1 tap on a number show me like i pressed 10 times. i have no idea where to buy original Xiaomi charger ( not the fake crap from Aliexpress and Ebay) and this means i cant use my phone while charging at all.
3. when i lock screen, change app or other basic things, my music volume jumps up and down - as i listen to metal - this isnt very fun ;/
4. im used to keyboard of Galaxy s5 6.0.1 and i dont use auto correct. now i got 2 keyboards: google and swift, both really different without option to cancel autocorrect
and the red annoying underline is just really annoying. and i cant seem to find the keyboard in app store.
5. while playing Lineage2 and walking on the street with the sun on me, my screen colors change into weird weak colors. when i get into a room, darker place or no sun - everything get back to normal
6. cant make apps shortcuts to have few icons of the same app. cant find a way to do it.
any of this problems have a solution? cause this is an amazing phone and this 6 things bother me, making me think i bought a broken phone or something
thank you in advance

1. Go to apps and then under those two apps make sure battery optimisation for those apps is off. Then they can run normally. MIUI is set to kill apps in the background. Annoying but can be adjusted.
2. You need to try a stock charger. Was the phone second hand? Buy a decent third party charger somewhere. With Stock charger I can use phone and charge no problem.
Could be a warranty issue...
3. Not sure about this. There is a reported issue with headphone volume on Mi 6 since latest version even in the new betas. I'm hoping this gets fixed by next stable release and if not we need to start hammering Xiaomi to fix this.
4. I use Google. Some people like swift. Play around and try all the keyboard on the play store etc and see if you find a new one you like. Maybe the Samsung one can be found here on XDA for other devices?
5. That's a clever mechanism which you actually benefit from. It allows the screen contrast to be raised and so you can still see the screen in bright lights that dark colours would not show under.
I don't think that's something that can be turned off unless you disable auto brightness? Maybe try manually adjusting brightness to avoid it.
6. Can you elaborate? You want dual apps your you want more than one icon for a single app?
Try another launcher such as Nova launcher. Much more flexibility.
Dual apps can be found under settings to have two instances of the same app.
I hope that helps and yes Mi 6 is a very good device with only a few issues and they're mostly forgivable as the value for money is phenomenal

Hmm I'm not sure about the multi tasking then...
Keep fiddling you might get it to work.
You should just use whatever the stock charger was but if that's causing the problem try a third party charger. Doesn't have to be expensive but don't get a cheap one. Get one that will protect your expensive phone
Keep trying the audio options. Some of the enhancements are good. Some sound like sand bags in my ears haha
Definitely try another home screen launcher like Nova Launcher. The Xiaomi launcher is pretty but has literally not functionality and reminds me of iOS. Then you'll be able to add as many short cuts as you like!

4. Have you manage to fix? is swiftKey the app you are talking about? I use it as well and manage to turn that stupid auto-correct feature in day 1. A quick google revealed the steps for you to follow: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/articles/201592021-How-do-I-turn-off-SwiftKey-Auto-Insert-Predictions- PS: in case you are talking about other app...then I suggest you give this one a try.... I used it for very long time and it just does the job very well...you can customize the color and size easily
EDIT: 6. check in widgets if the app you want to make a shortcut has something already available, otherwise....just install a 3rd party app, like the other user suggested, Nova or so

I don't quite understand his problems :silly:

Issue with black crush, adaptive brightness, notifications, Hotmail issue? and other.

Hello everyone!
Hopefully you guys gonna understand that I just got this phone 2 days ago and been a iPhone user since Iphone 4! (Went from Iphone 7 to P2 XL) So I hope I don't get too much hate because hey, after all. I bought the Pixel 2 XL 128 GB
Anyways where to start.. It's been very hard to go from iOS to Android but luckily I studied abit as a software dev. where we learned few things with Androids so I did know some stuff atleast but there is quite good benefits with Pixel 2 XL that made me go :highfive::silly::victory:
The camera, I can just say Holy crap.. I never seen so good camera in my life on a small device like this! No doubt about it, The customization on Android where you can enable bluetooth, locations and all that is a really good one too and the screen is also really beautiful, There is so much stuff that I like with it but also some stuff I still need to learn and that's why I am here, and hopefully I can get the help I want and also hope it's not gonna be very long text aswell.
Problem:
[*]Adaptive brightness
This one goes banana, hopefully im not the only one but I have never seen anything more sensitive brightness as Google's, Changes every page / app you use and feels quite annoying as it goes up and down all the time and it just kills your eyes slowly. I did find an app called Lux Lite that helped me quite abit but with lower brightness takes me to the next point which is...
[*]Black crush
Black crush, For those who maybe doesnt know what it is, basically you can follow it up by watching this youtube clip: youtube[DOT COM]/watch?v=CYMRRn2Fu1s (Yes, im a newbie and joined today )
- Simply showing when you reduce your brightness, the dark color disappears and becomes totally black - The reason I want to use it is just against the night when very strong brightness kills your eyes just at bedtime. I usually check NBA and Twitch Just before I fall asleep, and now maybe it will sound racist but that's just love! Basically basketball players that are dark-colored and make them completely black and you only see their matchwear and it ruins a small part of the match.
I have looked into other videos and found that the issue is not only with Pixel 2 but also coming now to Samsung phones and basically the new Oled where the company gives a bad calibrations. Im not sure what Iphone uses if its AMOLED but look etc. at iPhone X, probably one of the best
detailing in dark areas of all phones that I have tried and sure I could have bought that phone but also i'm surprised this is not anything is talking about in any youtube reviews so I don't know whatsup with this but this is slowly making me go back to my iPhone 7... I hope im not the only one?!?!?!
I did find an app called Screen balance that helps it abit but I mean... 945$ for a Phone that I need an APP that I NEED to buy to make it look good?! Come on?!
But please, don't take this offensive now. It still gives a really good picture at high brightness! no doubt about it.
[*]Notification
Well, This might be a fix that someone that as more experience than me in Android now so basically I will make a construction of what I want and maybe someone can help me out?
Basically on Iphone there is a button on the left where you toggle to turn on or off the sound and what's happends basically is it just kills all sound if the toggle is on and what I did is that I turned off vibrations so basically I get everything notifications just without sound and vibrations AND thats what I want to make on the Pixel 2 XL now, What I have done so far is to hold the volume down button until it changes to Do not disturb and in the settings I turned on everything but now on the Screen "Where you just see the clock" it just sometimes gives me like small icons AND sometimes it gives me like a big notification like iPhone did.. but however, Is there another way I can do this like so its more instead of just the small icons (Search on Google - android 8.1 always on display) and to check? Because etc when Iam at work I can usually see if something pops out on the screen (Can even be a pop out for 10 sec) but now it can be very hard if it's only a small icon adding. Hopefully you understand ish what I mean!
[*]Email Hotmail issue?
This is a combination of notification and not, basically what I have seen this is not as fast response as Gmail, basically if I get a email from Gmail, the notification usually pops out instantly BUT when it comes to Hotmail, this can take over 15minutes until the email even comes to the Gmail app (Where I connected it with my Hotmail since it had that option). and I sometimes can't risk it when im waiting for a important email to come where I wait too long so I need to check pretty often manually to see if I get one.. Now the issue is I don't know if that is a issue when Don't distrub is on or if its the Gmail application, Does anyone have any solution for me here?
[*]Snapchat
Well what to say here, Im not sure but I do think this isn't a issue coming from the phone itself but Snapchat, The quailty is just awful, Im sure my Nokia 3310 would make a better picture than that on Snapchat :fingers-crossed: but anyways the quailty is horrible and maybe there is a way to make it atleast abit better or something, I know that Snapchat is alot better with iPhone and also this isn't a big issue, like its not end of the world to get this worked nownownow but I do feel like it could be atleast at the same level as Samsung quailty atleast?!
Now I think im done and hopefully I did not overkill and I do hope from bottom of my heart that I could get all the answers of my questions and hopefully it's not hard to read since my English isn't the best one but I did try my best and hopefully I could love my Pixel 2 XL as much as I did on my iPhone! Help me newbie out! (Also I posted this on Pixel 2 post which is wrong so I created a new one here and hopefully I can remove somehow on the Pixel 2 Thread)

Just bought one

Must say I am quite impressed with the View 20. Have been using the Pixel 2XL for the last 13 months so was quite apprehensive about switching phones, and there are certainly things I will miss from the Pixel ie dual front fitting speakers, Now Playing and monthly updates.
I find the screen on the View 20 to be very crisp, at least to my old eyes, in fact I find it to clearer than the Pixel. The camera is very good, though I need to play with the settings to probably get the most out of it. RAM management seems very good.
Notification light is tiny, and you need to be looking at the screen head on to see it.
FPS is very quick, and has worked 100%, though I must say most of the time I don't get a chance to use it as the facial recognition is so quick.
Am using gestures for navigating, very smooth, at least with the stock Launcher, not so much when using Nova. Whilst they work, swiping up to go Home always briefly brings up the multitasking screen before doing what it should. The one annoying thing is you have to be pretty accurate when typing on keyboard at the edges as very easy to end up swiping left or right which takes you Back.
There does seem to be one bug I have found so far, and that is when switching apps, if you tap on the app that is to the side of the screen, rather than opening it, it drops you back to Home screen.
Only other thing I can think of at this moment is I can't get any notification badge on Gmail, either on stock Launcher or Nova (and all settings are correct)
If anyone has any questions or anything you want me to try, i will do my best to help.

The international version launched only 5 days ago. Did you get a hold of one and if so, can you share where from and what price so it benefits the users here. I am considering purchasing one via a friend (who is flying) from China but he is unable to find the international version there. I am wondering if Google Playstore and subsequently Nova Launcher can be installed on the Chinese version.

It was the international version, purchases in UK from carphone warehouse. 8GB/256GB. On their website at £579.99. They charged me £549.99
Also comes with a free Honor watch (via claim)

I bought mine here,8GB/256GB International Version in red for 600 Euro.

Agreed with the OP. Just got the same 128 gig unlocked, a couple of days ago. Coming from an S8 over the last 14 months. Must say the V20 is an awesome device.
Using the stock launcher with gestures. As the OP said, Nova does not seem to work as smoothly with gestures which is a shame. However the stock launcher with app drawer turned on is very good. Only annoying thing is I can't seem to get rid of the hi search which activated whenever you swipe down on any of the home screens. I never use it but can't find a way to turn it off! Any advice welcome!
Anyway the display, design, price point, battery life, are very good value for money. RAM management also very good. Very impressed and would highly recommend to others looking for a good deal.
To the OP: I've not had any issues with Gmail. Might be a software bug. Try clearing cache and resetting it maybe. Return to default settings.

Thanks mate, will try that. Can you confirm the issue with the multi tasking page. When clicking on any app that isn't centre page, it drops you back to home screen?

4k uhd is max. Mine are all available. Sounds like you may have some bugs. Best do a factory reset maybe?

From India via Amazon, sadly i dont have an update yet so no Ai ultraclarity camera and also does anyone have any idea where to find that TOF camera trick for the dancing demo they did ?

Can you help me with video camera? How is 60fps? Does it look good or does it shakes a lot? Also what about night video recording I saw on the mate 20 it look bad lol thanks

Stock launcher gestures are definitely better than either Nova or Action Launcher (especially related to the minimizing app/multitasking screen issue - it's a shame that you can't modify the icon settings more than 5 x 6 to make the stock launcher icons smaller. They just seem unusually large to me coming from my Pixel 2 XL. Action Launcher is a good resolution for now (minus that multitasking screen swipe up).
Does your notification LED work either when the device is plugged in or when you receive a phone call/email?
I just received my version from the UK and no LED notification light ever comes on.

Yes, notification light works, but very rarely notice it as its so small

It's just small but it's there.

You need to download Magic AR app from Huawei app gallery to use that dancing trick with TOF Camera.

Oh, so the multitasking issue is connected with 3rd party launchers. Good to know. I was using Nova launcher and had this issue.
The notification light is working, but it's small, not very bright and ideally you would have to look at it dead straight or from the top of the phone.
I have other issue though: can't get Netflix to play in HD. This phone's Kirin 980 is officially supported by Netflix, but I don't get HD badge next to the titles unfortunately. Other user mentioned that it works, but not for me...

has anyone managed to restore saved wifi passwords? I used the phone clone which copied all my apps/contacts/sms (did not include app data which was a bummer) but I cannot restore all my saved wifi passwords even after loading my google account, my old phone is set to back them up to google account, but this phone wont restore them. My old phone is rooted so I can see the passwords but I have hundreds and don't wan tot do it manually

Question At A Glance Date and Weather

Seen some screenshots of people's home screen and the weather/temperature were also displayed together with the current date.
Mine only displays the date. even though the weather is enabled in the settings.
I thought maybe it was because my Location History was disabled in my Google account and I enabled it, open my Location and restarted my phone. However, the weather is still not yet displayed.
Anyone also experiencing/experienced this?
Were you able to solve it?

Man, Android 12 is just busted, I had it the other day when I wasn't rooted and I think a bit yesterday after resetting and rooting but now it's gone, and all of the options in at a glance are missing. It's a commonly known bug since the beta, and there are some fixes that work for some people but none of them work for me, only other option is a factory reset and man I just got all my stuff set up finally just to have to go through it again tomorrow probably

It seems to also mess a bit with other at a glance info which also shows up in the Google panel to the left in the home screen. My weather app also seems to be missing so I'll probably reset tomorrow much to my dismay.

Hi everybody !
Same problem here. At first, when I received my phone the At a glance widget doesn't show weather on main screen and lock screen. I finally make a factory reset and weather works like a charm for two days until this morning... and then, it's missing again !
I already tried to reboot my phone, open weather app separately and refresh it many times, nothing works.
You may notice that with the old widget (which you can add manually on your homescreen), the weather icon is working .
Can someone please help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Read a little bit in the internet and it seemed that the bug was with Android 12, not on the Pixel 6 itself.

Yes I noticed that too.
But I see lot of people with their widget working fine in this Pixel 6 forums (when they share their homescreen for example) so I thought this is more rare with Pixel 6.

Android 12 has been a buggy mess from the beginning. Google ironed out about 25 of the 100 known bugs, and when they released the phone, another 30 bugs came added on top.
Welcome to the 21st century beta-tester realm, where people cash out a grand and still have to play betatester free of charge, after buying an expensive tech product.
There are so many services and apps broken... my outlook still doesn't even want to show one singular E-Mail.. I have to revert to GMail to get anything moving...
Not to mention that the new UI is a joke and the notification panel is a joke and the settings menu now looks like something made by a color blind; on top of that? Now, even the old functions (the ones we already had!) are often or not broken. Google managed to botch this release of Android harder than even Microsoft botched W11, and that one is still a terribly buggy mess.
I already talked to Google about this and the only thing they stated about the third-party problems is "blabla, apps might need to be manually updated by the blablabla" - aha, and you mind telling me, why we had months and months of firmware testing and still even the big players like Microsoft won't even give a singular flying f*** to at least make their most basic apps function on a - well - most basic level? That's as much Googles fault as anyone else's. If your customers have a broken product because your marketplace players don't give a **** about your rules, you enforce those.
Just remember the Pixel 4 faceunlock API disaster... UP TO THIS POINT ABOUT 95% OF ALL APPS THAT OFFER FINGERPRINT UNLOCKING, DO NOT SUPPORT FACEUNLOCK!
I mean everybody here with a functioning brain knows why Google delayed Android 12 over and over again, and still all we got is a buggy mess.
Back to the drawing board, Google.
And stay there, until you come up with something good.
And by the way, give us back our beautiful Android 11 interface.
My eyes are functioning well, thank you. No need to have icons the size of the moon. And even if my eyes won't function well any more at some point, I'd rather get glasses, instead of making my phone's UI ugly and terribly looking.

I had noticed the other day my weather wasn't showing up in at-a-glance but it is right now, and I haven't rooted or done anything except possibly reboot at some point.

Hey guys, try the solutions in this thread. I've done this on my 4a5g and it works, so far going on 3 days straight. Only thing is that the temperature doesn't update as often but if you click on the widget it does. Hopefully we will see this fixed in the next update.
AT A GLANCE NOT SHOWING WEATHER ISSUE

OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 2: Huge Improvements!

My OnePlus 7T Global HD1903 was on stock OOS Stable for almost 3 years now.
I just decided to update to OOS12 Beta 2 (Indian) yesterday and overall, I like it!
Official update guide here: OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro
Improvements:
1. Stock launcher: now has Google Feeds built-in.
2. Stock launcher: can now lock home screen icon arrangements. This is especially a big deal for me because I always mis-swipe icons and accidentally rearrange them.
3. Game mode: swipe notification banner is now easier to use. You can easily adjust brightness now, which is what I always use when gaming.
4. WiFi and Bluetooth connects faster.
5. Mobile data: signal is more stable. This surprised me a lot because this is an Indian ROM flashed on a Global device. I live in the Philippines, so it may vary from country to country.
6. Fast switching between mobile data and wifi, unlike on OOS11 where there's around 3 seconds of delay.
7. More stable fingerprint scanning (FOD) so it feels faster too, unlike on OOS11 when there are instances that I have to try 3x before my fingerprint gets recognized.
8. Larger PIN input when restarting device and FOD is disabled.
9. Lowest brightness is now even lower. Very good when you use your phone in pitch black environments.
What's missing, and what can be improved:
1. AOD: still the same old crappy Sometimes On Display. My Oppo Reno has a proper AOD, which I thought would be implemented in this update.
2. Recents: app settings cannot be launched directly anymore.
3. Notification banners: button texts are buggy/cut (like Reply or Like). Although this is an Android 12 issue, OnePlus could have fixed it.
4. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be set individually. (I bought icon packs for this feature)
5. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be renamed anymore. (You can remove app names completely)
6. Dolby Atmos is now disabled when using built-in speakers. Ironically, I only enable them when using the built-in speakers to make sound louder.
7. VoLTE and VoWiFI
Bugs and Nitpicks (but not dealbreakers):
1. Very long boot time. Logo always stuck for 40 seconds before boot animation shows up.
2. Boot animation stutters (low FPS).
3. On standard home screen mode (drawer disabled), SIM Toolkit apps always show up on the home screen after every reboot, even if you put them in a folder.
4. Some apps think that the device/sim is Indian, so there are notifications telling you to enable Roaming. Just disable these notifications once, then they'll stop showing up.
5. Lock screen colors are still oversaturated when FOD is enabled (same with OOS10 and OOS11). This is why I just use a black wallpaper for lockscreen.
6. Stock launcher icon names can now only be removed completely (no app names on drawer too), unlike before where it only doesn't show on the home screen.

I finaly update myself... But I am little disappinted.
first of all, AOD on OOS 11 (oob5) worked perfectly... it doesn't work here... it just is.
I have a big lag when I want to use gestures, especially when I want to leave the gallery in the home screen... everything seems to be slower.
Third, the phone and phonebook app is now much worse... it's much slower to find a name in the phone book.
Fourth, the theme substratum does not work, pureblack for example, so the notification shade is not black as I would like it to be... and all the colors seem washed out to me.
Five, no advinced power menu any more... And no optio for clear cache in recovery
I use Nova and I like it....
High performance mod... is for me must be on

Thanks for sharing your experience!
Although mine is quite the opposite (everything is more responsive / no lag).
My device isn't rooted though, and I upgraded from stable rom. So ymmv.

When I turn off substratum... its now faster and feel like before... But I prefere black in dark mode and not gray...
Also I will disable... Theme Store and Work Life Balance (I realy do not need) and Scout... What is that? Do you use it? Sports (how to acces that app) ?
And I am realy frustrated with new phonebook/call app
EDIT: I still have this bug... with gallery app and only Gallery app for now...
When I swap from botom to top... to go to home screen... bacj is just fine... but going straith to home not working in gallery app

Do you know what is Onet app?
Is it India specific? Like Idwntificarion of Unknow Number (doea it work in eu) ?
Also is there any easy way like iit was on 11 to check/change battery optimisation for specific app... or I need to go from settings and to look for app in the hole list?

I also use swipe navigation but don't have that issue on the Gallery app. I can smoothly transition from Gallery to Home Screen. I uploaded a video: CLICK HERE
Regarding apps you don't need, there is an option to disable them in the app settings.

On the end... I find that my bigrst problem is notificstion lock screen. When I get notificstion I have it for first time, but if I unlock and relock without open notificstin at all... it disappears from lock screen.
Does anyone know how to fix that behavior... Notification not show on LockScreen?
And AOD, not working... All time.... on OB5 ti was working all time if you whant that. Here it just disappear if you do not touch or move phone. I disklike that behavior.
Also I find out that Tasker, or any other app on 12 can not disable network status (2G/3G/4G) even with root.

In the end, this is a HUGE step backwards for me... and many OnePlus fans who wanted something more and stuck to the Never Settle slogan.
Oppo Coloros is not usable with many applications and causes problems with an even larger number. Maybe at first glance it looks like it's moving smoothly and quickly, but it's just an illusion.
Tasker is just one of those applications and is considered one of the most powerful Android tools, but it is completely unusable even with Root on this system. Even the most ordinary things, which are useful to me, as it is. turning on screen rotation and screen time out for certen apps do not work. Let's not talk about some more complex actions such as norification and starting AOD when there is an unread notification.
AOD itself is very unreliable, I installed 3 different "updates" of the AOD application itself to get it to work at all.
The notification on the lockscreen is just a "masterpiece" it only works once when you receive the notification, and whether you read it or not, it will never appear on the lockscreen again, no matter how many times you unlock or lock your screen.
As a root user of a phone that supports 90Hz, I used to be able to always and in all circumstances use that option, now the screen is almost always at 60Hz no matter what you set and there is no longer a possibility to "force" the phone to always use 90Hz even with an ADB command... All this did not increase the battery life in the least... it even decreased it because the screen is no longer black (which I could achieve on OOS 11 using Subststratum pure black tmeme) but mostly gray.
I still don't have time to dedicate a whole day to wiping the data and going back to the good old OOS... but if you don't want to just have the number 12 in the phone info... and if you use the phone for anything more than texting and answering on calls, it's better to redistribute with old security patches than to get frustrated with Color OS.
Even the most common application, phone book and phone dealer, is a step backwards for me, although I could get used to it if at least some of the basic things that I am used to as a user would work.
Bluetooth, WiFi... Mobile Data... Signal strength, I really have no complaints, it all works great. Preinstalled applications work well and it's a matter of habit and personal taste whether you like the design or not.
But if you use Tasker, Huawei watch, or are a root user who is a bit more demanding... know that I Color OS is very restrictive and that 99% of things will not work as they did on OOS... Especially if you come with OOS Beta 4 or 5 which had AOD working and if you are used to it, I would not recommend you to waste your time and switch to Color OS.
The number 12 is not worth your time, annoyance and searching for a solution for what was working beautifully and smoothly, just because it is a number higher than 11.
On the end choices is yours... Just like it was mine when I done misktake and update.

Have you tried any custom ROMs such as Pixel Experience? What are your thoughts on them if you have. I grew tired of waiting for OnePlus to release a stable 12 and installed Pixel Experience. I am mostly satisfied with it, although battery drain is more pronounced.

Your #1 mistake was to dirty flash a beta software into an older android version.
Even on custom roms, that's a very bad idea.

Actualy, that doesn't change anything... It's Color OS... and all working just it work on cleen install. So I didn't make any mistake there, except the fact that Color OS is not for me or anyone who like freedom of OOS... When I decide to be restricted like I am on ColotOS, I will buy iphone.
So, does your clean installation act differently... lock screen notificstion, AOD, can Tasker change you system settings (turn on and off AOD if you have any new notification, for example), can you force 90Hz in all apps?
Because thats are problems... I don't have any fingerprint or any other system lroblem except it's inconsistent and undefined... it's doesn't have all android 12 theming and look but it's not OOS costumization.

Anyone know of a fix for no signal? It asks for Oroaming funds, but I have an unlocked One Plus 7 Pro converted to the Global Beta 2.
My sim card is Tmobile.
