official 4.4.2 on the way :)

Samsung has been on a KitKat spree lately, and it has just about covered most of its popular devices from the last two(ish) years with the update. Today, Verizon updated its support docs for the Galaxy SIII, which indicates that the update is on its way in the coming days, as well.
Aside from KitKat, this update brings a couple of new enhancements, like the inclusion of Isis. Otherwise, it's basically the same song and dance – updated applications, bug fixes, an improved multi-app experience, the like.

Yes, there shouldn't be discussion threads until and update is going to be released. Not everybody has the time to read through a discussion thread that's been around for months to see if there is an update.
Just my 2¢
Sent by me.

Just got a notification for update! Kitkat 4.4.2 :good:

Me too !!
Me Too !!
Wait, let me post that again
Me too !!
Guess what?
I'm not taking any OTAs
I'm waiting for the developer release so I won't be f---ked.
No me too !

Performed update. Now what is this icon?!
I performed the update last night and now there is an icon in my notification bar that won't go away and doesn't appear when I maximize the window. Its incredibly frustrating!
It won't let me post a link and the image file is too big, so add dropbox to the beginning of this and it is a picture of the icon.
/sh/z6vh4b8g4qknlog/AABIf5TlJUNssKa-q-VC8Dhna
Does anyone know what this is?
Nevermind! Found it doing a google image search. It is the NFC icon and can be accessed by expanding notifications and touching the top right (4 square like) icon. From there you can add the toggle button to your quick menu or turn it off.

this is the point in time were i wish i didnt have an unlocked bootloader

Did the update change/unlock anything useful?
Back when I had JB I asked this forum if I could install KitKat and was told it wasnt possible. Did the update make custom roms possible again?

Thanks for the quick reply. That's really disappointing though. I was really disappointed to see that, after updating, my phone doesnt look any different. According to the official kitkat page, I should have new features like immersion, updated hangouts and a new phone app. I don't see any of them, but my phone says its running version 4.4.2 and I'm current on updates. Am I missing something?

No third-party launcher allowed

Hi everyone.
Just for your information. There is an issue with the next updates of EMUI (at least in chinese version), in builds 8.1.0.171, 8.1.0.181, and 9.0.0.120, you can not use a third-party launcher. In 9.0.0.120 build there is a note: "You will be unable to use third-party launchers if you install this update. This issue will be resolved in the next system update.", but I have that problem since 2 previous versions.
I saw a thread in Huawei P20 pro's forum with the same issue but just presenting it in 9.0.0.120.
If anyone has seen more information, I'll be glad to read it, because this is kind of a deal breaker for me. Maybe I'll switch to Pixel 3.
That's it.
Have a nice day =)

Hey. If you use a chinese version in europe right now i can recommend to rebrand your device to european version. I did it with my chinese Honor 10 (AL10 to CL29). Right now i m using EMUI 9 Beta and i can install custom launchers. Just an idea...

News: Android 10 beta coming soon

https://www.droid-life.com/2019/09/17/report-samsung-launching-android-10-beta-next-month/

do we need to subscribe beta program?

Probably... The details haven't been announced yet.

Any new about it

Looks like the beta is currently available in Korea, and will probably be available through the Samsung Members app later this week.

But I am from Argentine. And here don't come the beta. Any advice to get it?

Just curious, do any of you think if I change my location with a VPN I will be able to get the Beta that was already released in Korea?

I try and when I change my vpn and open samsung members the APK fails

https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/galaxy-s10-sm-g975f-official-oneui2-10-t3980879
Check this

It's currently available in the US through Samsung Members for Sprint and T-Mobile only.

One UI 2 beta adds spacing at the bottom of every app which serves no purpose. There are lot of bugs here and there but I have not noticed any app crashes as such.

I am from spain, and I have just installed the beta too.
It has some lag, screen mode seems that always is in vivid instead natural, and still sometimes the screen wake up like if you tap the power button. There are a lot to polish.
Regards

I joined the UI 2 beta but found it much more buggy than previous Samsung betas (like 8 -> 9) and quite honestly there was no discernable difference for my use case scenario. Samsung does a very good job polishing its take on Android so that the next version doesn't seem that much of an upgrade. It reminds me of iOS and macOS upgrades where you need to read up about the differences otherwise you might not realise what was new. Given that is the case I decided to withdraw from the beta program and revert to Android 9 using Odin. For me there were no advantages and many disadvantages in running UI 2 at this stage. I got display glitches like mentioned above, neither Google Pay nor Samsung Pay worked, the navigation bar kept reverting to the old on-screen icon system and UI 2 did not play well with my launcher of choice, Nova. Yes, there are 'solutions' like not using Nova and maybe doing a hard reset after upgrading, but for me it just isn't worth the hassle for no obvious return.

Beta ROM?
Anyway to force subscribe to the beta program, or just get the ROM to flash manually?

Just flash the ROM through Odin and you're done. The only downside is that each time a new beta or the final release comes out, you have to flash it with the help of Odin because the OTA updates are tied to the Samsung Members app.

bug
notch fix file has a bug...it showing a big notch while playing landscape video or game......any solution?

Are we expecting a Android Q release on MIUI 11? Or Android 9 is the final tulip Android ver?

unfortunately the rom is buggy, especially from a lag in various parts of the system, I couldn't stand it.

What exactly does Notch Fix mean? For me, the application delete option appears under the noch.
I installed Orangefox Recovery instead of the old one and reinstalled the Notch fix but still not working properly.
Other thing:
There is a 1.6GB system update via OTA. Which phone is this for? For Redmi Note5 or Note6 Pro?
Thank You!

Please keep in mind that this rom is only in beta stage and is not designed for redmi note 6 pro. Support for our device on MIUI 11 will be coming in the next couple months hopefully. Until then we might see some AOSP Android Q roms soon.
According to some sources the Redmi Note 6 Pro will likely receive a MIUI 11 open beta towards the end of this month (October)

As was said by the publisher of this thread. This MIUI rom is a beta for the Redmi Note 5 Pro (RN5P). Therefore the OTA would be for the RN5P. Our device will receive a Beta towards the end of this month if the sources are correct.

I believe a treble ROM is a GSI aka generic system image for all devices and not just Xiaomi devices. I don't think this is a treble ROM, it's a ported ROM from the rn5pro.

i think miui pro 11 9.9.26 is better smooth and fast than this rom

Question MIUI keeps killing apps

Hello,
Not sure if it's the right place, but I'm getting depressed with my Xiaomi 12 behaviour. Since last update, MIUI global 13.2.4, the phone keeps killing apps, even if I set those with :
- not battery restriction
- auto startup
I tried a factory reset, I unlocked it, rooted it. It keeps killing apps. It's annoying, because I use Vivid and removed the navigation buttons. I let you imagine how I can be stuck sometimes when Vivid is killed. Yet, Vivid is locked... So MIUI regurlaty kills it, and sometimes, it even loses the accessibility autorisation.
How can I know what's killing it ? Obviousily, I'm not in Eco mode, and this behaviour also occurs in performance mode. Everything worked very fine until last update.

Maybe a bug in the rom which is a stable beta.

The ROM is official, it's been deployed in France last week.

You are not the only one to have had problems following updates, the solution if it worked before, is to flash the previous rom or to use a Xiaomi EU rom.
Sometimes Xiaomi renames a Stable Beta to stable without fixing anything.

Previous ROM is in Android 12. Downgrading won't be a problem ? Keeps root ? EU Roms seem far behind.

Sirguda said:

Downgrading requires a clean flash and the root is lost along with your data.
Use this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
And disable the update.
EDIT:
I use a Xiaomi EU rom on my 12 pro and I have several apps that must remain in the background, works very well.
With a Xiaomi EU rom you will have the certified play store without root and lots of extra options.

This is happening to me also and many other people. Fun times waking up to find that your alarm clock hasn't gone off because it was killed in the background.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. There's several posts on the mi.com forums regarding it:
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
People there have discussed making a bug report via the feedback app (Settings->"Services & Feedback") might garner some support for Xiaomi to fix the issue... one can only hope.
All I can say is if you're thing of updating to V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM OTA then DONT! Teach me to apply an update without checking on it first.

Go to this site if you need anything, the updates with beta roms on the stable channel do not date from today, many threads on this subject have been created without change since today the problem persists.
Reporting bugs via Services & Feedback hasn't changed anything either.
Note that since the redesign of their site, important threads have disappeared and even some devices.
As a reminder, it is the moderators of this site who report information, well that's just theory because in practice, nothing happens.
If you want answers from Xiaomi, tell them you want to buy a new phone because that's what they're interested in, selling.
I tell you this because at a certain time, I was active on this site, but some of my posts were deleted because I explained how to solve or work around the problem.
Sometimes by checking the hash of a beta rom and the following stable, it was the same.
The solution is to unlock the bootloader and downgrade or install a Xiaomi EU rom.

I'm kind of relieved that's I'm not the only one with this issue. For sure I dont take a xiaomi anymore. I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture unavailable with 3rd party launcher + this killing app bug, makes me regret not have taken a Samsung S22.

" I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture una aimable with 3rd party launcher"
Xiaomi blocks this function with third-party apps (not new).

Not new, but it's a detail you have trouble knowing before buying. With Vivid Gesture, I was plainly satisfied, but this new bug is really frustrating.

Regarding "Xiaomi EU rom", how well tested is it? Do they have an issue tracker and a list of known bugs?
I've rooted and flashed community ROMs in the past only to find out they are poorly tested / have horrible QA and although superficially they work fine other aspects didn't like Bluetooth, Android Auto or certain camera modes etc.
It has been a while though since I last attempted one, maybe things have moved on since then?

Xiaomi has removed so much of the Google framework that even push notifications isn't working. Take note that the Global ROM is based on the CN variant which is known for aggressive background killing of apps.
In Xiaomi's defense, they are "freeing up" up to 800mb of your internal storage by removing most of Google's API but in the expense of all the issues encountered by Global ROM users.

So if anyone is interested, I'm trying to see if disabling com.miui.powerkeeper works round this issue of background apps being killed in V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM .
I followed this tutorial:
How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root
If you hate the bloatware or pre-installed apps on your Android smartphone, here's how to disable them even if Android doesn't normally let you.
www.xda-developers.com
Will report back if I notice any improvement.
Maybe someone more knowledgable might be able to tell me if there are any downside to disabling this package?

I am suffering the exact same problem with my device since the 13.2.4 update, what i nightmare to use the device since then ! As the other users already reported, it s even killing the alarm app which prevents it to ring ! But it also impacts all app notifications, like whatsapp, outlook, etc. After being killed I don't get the new notifications for those.
I can't believe that they are pushing such an update globally, they are gonna lose a lot of customers which such a poor strategy, as this is not just a "little" bug.
I am interested in the Xiaomi.EU rom, looks like they released one 2 days ago with version number 13.2.6, but I have to investigate if we can install that over our official version on an original EU device, and if it requires a full data wipe or not.

Welcome to XIAOMI.
You can check below the version of the rom proposed for the update, before performing it.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/cupid/
EDIT:
You can either update the rom with the update.bat file included in the Fastboot.zip folder but since it is an A13 version, it is preferable to format the data with the first install.bat file .
Obviously the bootloader must be unlocked.
Also remove the security from the lock screen and restart the system.

Hello. I have exactly the same problem. I just bought the phone, after a week I got that update and it made me completely regret that I bought it. Is there any "clean" way to return to the version of MIUI I bought the phone with?
Would a reset return me to the old version? Since i got almost nothing important in the phone, it wouldnt be a big deal.
