"shortly"? Meaning this week, this month, this quarter?
Seriously though, thanks for the update Gary.

great to hear. good to see asus is on top of things

Excellent!

Nice to know. Thanks. what camera issues were reported?

I don't use the camera, have noticed no WiFi issues. Keyboard might act up once in a while.... Guess I'm anxious to see what the update brings. And breaks. : ) Thanks.

Very nice. Thanks Asus!
Hopefully the screen flicker issue is addressed as well.

what about the encryption issues? are those fixed? i don't want to spend another whole weekend due to faulty firmware upgrades..

thx
excellent! my wifi corrupt on standby.

Thanks for sharing this info.
Looking forward to it. Any idea when?
Cheers:good:

Thanks for the update! I hope this fixes more than just the issues mentioned..... there were a lot of issues with the last update.

Android 4.1.2 is also starting roll out to certain devices.

Cool!
The keyboard was driving me a little nutz.
I don't use the camera...well I do use the video cam.
And yes maybe there will a fix for the lines on the screen.
Thanx Asus HQ.

Let's hope they fixed the encryption issue. The keyboard issues may be annoying, but soft-bricking your tablet is much more time consuming. It took me 3 hours to research this bug and doing a complete factory reset. Now I'm waiting for the encryption to finish. (company policy...)

Hope this fixes the JB Alarm and random reboots/freezes as well

I experienced the camera issue today when i tried skypeing someone. I'm glad that Asus is releasing a fix and am hopeful it includes a solution to the random sluggishness I experience.
Edit: And no sooner than I type this, random reboot.

I just want the black line that flickers down the screen fixed. Happens a lot in the nook app. Especially annoying while reading.

Damaged digitizer or software problem?

Hello all,
About a month ago, my screen on my Oneplus One started playing up. Horizontal lines (when the phone is vertical, and vice versa) appear on some images (and move around/disappear when scroll up or down). If I'm reading text then no lines appear. However, when an image is on the screen (sometimes) the horizontal lines appear and "damage" the text below. I've included a few photos as examples.
Any idea what this problem is? If it's hardware, will changing the screen solve the problem or is it something in the gpu?
I had a look around the forums and elsewhere and couldn't find a similar problem to mine. I've had it over a year so it's out of warranty so I'll have to change the screen myself (if that's the problem).
All suggestions welcome!
Thanks to the community!
Android 5.1.1 Cyanogen OS (LMY48Y)

Hey man !! I am also facing the similar issue. Can you share about what was the problem and how did you resolve it?
There are not too many posts about this issue even now. Need a little bit of help!!
Thanks

In the end I had to send it back to Oneplus. They replaced the screen and sent it back to me.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Are you on kitkat? If no,its definitely the display.

I have seen desktop GPU's with these kinds of issues. However, it is worth it to try a new screen (AE for $25).

Make POCO F1 stable

Instead of asking Xiaomi or the POCO team for more features, we should ask them to fix the basic issues such as touch issue(now it is only on the edges on my device with 8.12.27 firmware), and fix the notifications and hide notch options before moving onto new features like 60fps videos and such. It seems like the whole MIUI forum is filled with people asking for new features instead of making it stable.
Also can anyone comment on whether the touch is a hardware issue or a software one? Can it be fixed by devs of XDA?

it's hardware related, can be fix by software but the fix for some it's not equal to others, so hard to make a universal fix...

Can you clarify please ?

Not really got an announcement for you to read, but if you search here in the forums you can see that different batches of the poco ( month of fabrication)(first batch even got screen bleeding) work better with some firmware versions and others work better with different firmware version, that is related that xiaomi is trying to fix the ghost touches by changing the way screen reacts to touch, but some batches work better in a way that make lag or ultra sensitive touch in others, that happens because the screen is not build the same way hence the "different" screens ...
Depending for what you will use the phone, that's not a really serious problem, noticeable more in some games...
Hope i explained myself good...q
Here are some testimony from users with different batches:
yoprateekyo said:
Touch issues are there in all the pocos except the latest batches now.
Touch issues are not severe are usable.
Some builds fixed half issues other created half.
If you wanna buy just buy you won't regret.
If touch gets perfect i am more than happy if not i can still live with it happily.
Rprpprrp ( i typed pr pr pr pr) this is issue.
But you will become habitual within a day or two. big deal.

Tp firmware is same for all.
But you have different touch panel than others.
Most of us have novatek which is sh*t.
You are lucky user.

Guys : Touch issue is real, face it or go for another model.
As per this thread suggest, even if you get newer touch screen panel, there is no 100 % guarantee that touch will work fine.
.
Because : old panels all issues fixed from 8.11.23 beta to 8.12.20 beta, and in this period newer panels got issues.
So they reverted that fix in 8.12.27 beta. But then again same issues are back for old panels. And newer panels are good now.
Now old panel users are waiting for new update which includes 8.12.20 touch firmware.
.
So Xiaomi has fix for everyone but they don't know proper way to implement it. ( recognising both users and applying fix upon it)
In coming days they will find it.
And everyone will be happy.
In worst case, you need to go service center for flashing new firmware with new bootloader which can recognize which panel you have.
.
So, waiting is best way for it.

Oh that's interesting. Some people here claim that newer batches don't have the touch problem yet you seem to have the exact same issue as my unit which was assembled in July 2018. Full four months and the issue still there... That is why I don't believe there are Poco users who don't have this problem.

Some things are a pattern: it involves all Poco f1 made in August 2018.
8.12.27 is the latest firmware we can use.
Any firmware which is more recent gives the black screen. So we must have a different display manufacturer.
The only solution I see is to update vendor and firmware without the display drivers.

jineshpatel30 said:
From what i understood and feel by flashing almost every Pie beta & stable is, there are atleast 2 set of touch screen that Xiaomi used in POCO F1, so we are getting conflicting results/reviews in term of touch response.
So, if you try to satisfy ones for whom touch is good enough with Pie stable of current beta build other segment will cry-out loud with issue, if you go with older beta build like 8.12.20 then people like me whose device work good enough on stable Pie will face touch issue.
So, it's never ending game and Xiaomi should accept the hardware issue, replace & be done with it.

Impromptu update?

10.0.0 (QP1A.190711.020.C3, Sep 2019)
Seems like it was posted today..
Anyone flash it or know what it's for?
https://developers.google.com/android/images

Perhaps a fix for sensor issue?

I'd flash and see but ugh.. I have my phone set up perfectly including Google Pay.. May still do it, I'm sick like that!

i know right i didn't wanna flash it since we are a week away from the October build but will there even be an october build now?

Pretty sure there will be. The C3 indicates it's a hotfix release so that shouldn't impact the normal schedule.

So....did anyone flash it yet? Lol

Got it via OTA toda, 1335 MB on C3.
haven't seen anything different, lol.

Can confirm that this build has fixed the swipe up issue for unlocking not working properly - but still suffering from the screen goes blank when on a call (to ear) and then does not turn on again when viewed unless various buttons pressed!.

Got a new update as well

I got it this morning. I have not noticed anything new.

I have that issue, and I'm still on 9.0.

I was chatting with the Pixel team yesterday about something unrelated and was trying to get any info about the C3 update. Instead, I got very evasive runaround about how there is no approved communication. He didn't act like he didn't know what I was talking about but just wanted to change the subject since he wasn't going to say what the "hotfix" was for. I guess this their new strategy after still not disclosing the difference between .19 and .20.

Yeah, they used to be very up front with what the differences are in the builds. Usually they were carrier specific. If I had to guess, this new update fixed some huge security issue that they needed to fix ASAP before the bad guys could take over our phones.

Just take the OTA like good "sheeple." Don't worry about when it will get there, and of course you'd never need to root and block all of those glorious ads.

I flashes this new release yesterday and I may say it is big...I'm still going deep into what's new but haven't found anything relevant yet.

Is that the issue of swiping, or the proximity sensor info not causing the screen to reactive during a call?

Proximity.. I wish that while on a call, no other involuntary touch action could activated... Until hanging up or pressing a deliberate action.

Apparently a hotfix for the sensor bug went out 5.5MB for other pixels... (see the stickied sensor bug thread) Makes you wonder if someone made an oopsie in our case?

I noticed my phone a little bit colder after this update.

It's a pretty big update! It's the same size as the official Android 10 image. Weird.
Any of the 10 features that we haven't gotten yet in there? Like the customization app or whatever? New AOD clocks? I can't remember what all else we were supposed to get. I don't have time today to check it myself.

Blurry front camera

I love my pixel 3a, even the front camera selfies (even though it has a fixed focus). The phone takes awesome pictures, also with the front camera.
However, during video call (whatsapp or snapchat), the video quality is very very very bad. I mean like there is water in the lens or something or it just can't focus or its trying to smooth out everything till infinity. I don't get how this is possible. I know android doesn't have the best social media camera (compared to iphone, which is better optimized), but my galaxy s8 is doing whatsapp and snapchat video's just fine and in focus.
Other people have experience with this? it's really a pity, because it's the only thing i really dislike at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated.
With kind regards

Thanks for your reply Asep,
I am running the same build number as you. Yes I hope it's fixed in the next update. Have you heard other people have this problem? can't seem to find many people with this problem. I would assume many people would have this issue.

Just updated to the July patch. Unfortunately still have the same problem. I guess we're just unlucky and it's somehow a hardware issue. I can't imagine that the rest of the pixel 3a owners have the same thing but aren't bothered by it. I read on reddit of one guy who was talking about blurry front camera, but after phone was replaced the problem was gone.

I've had the same problem! My build number is QQ2A.200501.001.B2. I just got a new Pixel 3a as the last camera just died, but it was also an issue on the previous Pixel 3a as well.

Any news on this? I've found several threads on Google support sites regarding this issue but they've ve all been closed without a solution. There must be more people with this issue though and I'm not sure at the moment if this is a hardware issue or not.
Since last night we're in a serious lockdown here in the Netherlands and this is becoming a dealbreaker, cause the front camera is our most used lifeline with friends and family.
I'm on RQ1A.201205.003 and using WhatsApp for video calls.
Edit: see for example this thread from Google support: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/63843045?hl=en
