August Q beta is out - Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion

It's live, not sure what's different. Anyone having VoLte issues with Verizon? If I toggle it, it works until the radio state switches (reboot, or on and off WiFi). It always shows selected under settings but needs to be cycled to work.

Just updated. The multitask selection issue seems has been fixed.

multitask fixed, but now its telling me nova launcher cant use gestures and it added the 3 navigation keys to the home screen. mind you, i have already been using it half the day with gestures, the it stopped. wack!

i just noticed wifi-calling is not working. thats a BIG problem.

Does anyone have problem adding fingerprint in beta 6? Or any security at all?

i can add fingerprint.
my wifi-calling mysteriously works now. seems the only issue is that navigation gestures dont work with 3rd party launchers, so using the crappy stock quickstep launcher

****ing fed up with these buggy ass betas. I can't change and or add security unlock options i.e. pattern / pin etc...

I had the same problem when I using fastboot to flash the full rom. I flashed it back to Android Pie and then use OTA through the phone, the fingerprint works fine now.

Just like the name implies, it's the Easter Egg when you go into Settings\About phone click Android version and then click Android version a few times fast. There's been one on every version of Android.
In this one, you can move the "Android" the "1" and the "0" around the screen and if you tap one and then tap again fast, you can make it spin. If you spin the "1" around in such a way that it makes the letter Q with the "0", then you get to play a game.
It's a complete novelty.
The newer build on OP7Pro has the new Easter Egg and the first part works, but there is no game.

SmartKey options missing on 5.0?

Am I the only one who lost the ability to use smart key options on the update to 5.0? (tap, double tap, hold, etc.)
If not, is someone willing to share that apk with me? Something might have gone wrong during the install.
It is the second apk I'm asking for, I know.
Thanks.

Yeah, I'm going to flash the stock rom. No bt working, No NFC working, No smartkey, No clock app. I don't know what happpened, but loading 7.0 was terrible.
Going back to marshmallow until there is a full version of 7.0 I can just load via dload
I am having the issue of keep thinking the finger printer scanner is a power button like my LG phones. I'm looking for some good app or something I can do to tap the button to bring up the power menu.
I found some good ones, they all need roots.
smart key app is not into my Beta N !!!

MIUI 10 Global Closed Beta Leak

http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.6.14/miui_MIMIX2SGlobal_8.6.14_9cc38e37db_8.0.zip
This ROM was leaked in the MIUI Forum. The one who leaked this has his post deleted.
Even for the beta team this ROM has bricked one device, so, do it on your risk.
Booted perfectly flashed with TWRP on mine. Thanks.
Could anyone test SafetyPass and GPay on this beta? Of course with Magisk installed. I'm wondering if this functionality has been fixed with this build

I just flashed and Wifi is not working. Is this happening to anyone else?
EDIT: Looks like I didnt update firmware. I used MiFlash instead and its now working fine.
So whats the benefits besides it being MIUI 10. From what I have been reading not much. Just trying to do a cost / benefit analysis on upgrading...

Installed! Fairly nice. No notifications on lock screen but I figure that's more a theme issue than the miui 10. Like the jesters and full screen mode!

There are a few themes on the theme app that have lock screen notifications. These are old themes so they cause other crashes though.

It’s probably a programming item in MIUI 10... plus the fact that no themes made for 10 with notifications exist yet (or are very limited). My notifications light works so not a big deal. We’ll see what the next release gives us... I would assume they will try to drop a new beta weekly or bi-weekly. Haven’t been following how fast the China releases came out. Did anyone also notice or maybe it’s me... notification shade doesn’t change either with theme?

Warning: This build is unstable. We do not recommend installing it unless you are willing to deal with some issues. For instance, the front-facing camera is broken along with AR Emoji. The new night theme cannot be disabled. More features could be broken that we haven’t seen it yet. Do NOT install this unless you are comfortable with Odin, because while it’s possible to downgrade to Oreo, it’s not easy to do so.
You can follow the instructions below to install the first Android Pie build on your Samsung Galaxy S9+ with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.

I love what I'm seeing with this update, love navigation gestures compared to navbar because it give me more screen. Love the new Dialer because everything is now down, very handy for one handed usage. Good one Samsung. :highfive:

Is the pop up related to a notification from the Security Log Agent app? Is so the the following command will deactivate that app 'adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.securitylogagent'
Don't know how safe it is to not have that app but that's what I did.
Thank you!!
Yes!!! Thank you so much! I've been looking for a solution since last night and have reflashed and factory reset like 3 times but didn't help. I'm going to do this now. Thanks again buddy ?

Already solved by disabling dnd
Anyway, is it possible to change the corner radius for natifications panel? It looks prety odd now
Camera on my device works just fine after a factory reset.
My only problem now is how to remove the cellular signal since i only like to have just both wifi signal and battery only.
i tried hiding the cellular signal using the UI tuner but it seens to not work, any ideas?
Cons: the fact that the stock launcher is only the one who gets integrated in the recents is really bad, try using another custom launcher and the recents just get bad.

It Does work, But you need to reboot your device a bunch of times, and set the battery optimisation for the particular app off.
first time running the app will cause it to FC, this happened 2 times for me, just open the app again and you'll be able to customise it

Works fine for me as well (T-Mobile converted to International, 9.5.10, obviously rooted, stock kernel & Magisk). I do have battery restriction on. I did have one force close at one point, but otherwise works as intended.

you dont need to disable the battery optimisation, because the app only changes system files one time.
Just set the picture, press enter, reboot and open the app once. Now you should see the new image.
