I will constantly update this thread.

First of all, I changed my logic in which I do this updates. Last month I had my one and only random system reboot so I tried to give it a little thought on how I should update this system, and so far I had no problem with it: You see, Android 10 had quite a lot of bad, unresolved updates, especially for those who manage to have a "successful" day one update (this translates to those who didn't have a bricked device) so now, when an update comes, it just tried to patch the old broken version, with mixed results, and not completely over write it. Remember back in A9 age? When you'd miss an montly update, the next month your update size would be >1gb? That means the 2 version old android version wouldn't be compatible with the new build so it did a complete rewrite of the partition? This never happened on A10 since launch, so here's what I did, after that system crash I downloaded the 10.0.7 and flashed it twice (by rewriting twice it means this, flash, reboot, boot into system, shut down, recovery, flash again, reboot, boot into system) through recovery, thus rewriting both A and B partitions with a known "good" (it still has bugs, but it doesn't carry the day 1 or day 2 major bugs) firmware flash. Now the same happened with the new update the 11.0.9, copied to SD, flashed through recovery and here is my review.
The bug in which the 5G icon in the wi-fi menu wouldn't hold if connected to the network and turned into a 4G wi-fi network still stands. This is only a visual bug, since the 5G network is doing just fine.
Tested the camera extensively and now it has a more aggressive focus and it's sharp again, image size is now large, like before, quality is improved in daylight, but the low light still could use some improvement.
The "useless" cards in Settings menu are still there (I personally only have the Customize your pixel one).
There is now a smoother feedback in the haptic feedback, so sometimes it seems like it's not working, but it's me not feeling it.
The 4G speeds still seem to be low, but again, like I said last time it could be a problem from my network provider, so I can't be 100% sure.
The internal storage speeds seem more and more slow on the other hand, I can't get transfers over 30mb/s on the internal storage, weird, because on .7 I could go over 100mb/s without a problem.
The RAM management is weird, after flashing the phone "my way", I can open ALL of the phone's apps and they'd stay up and running in the RAM until the phone starts going so sluggish that's almost a burden to use. It doesn't selectively remove apps from ram until closed from the recent menu. It isn't a problem for 5-10 apps open at once, but it starts getting weird after 30-40. Also the background apps are killed after a specific time, not by RAM usage which is counter intuitive... damn.
The MTP - SD card is still faulty. Refuses to display contents of large folders unless plugged out and plugged back in again. At least it's not crashing transfers right now.
The Media scanner is still faulty, after copying data to SD card they won't display in the specific apps (Google Photos, Google Music) but if manually searched (for example in my case Hiby Music) they're there and they can be used. Only reboot fixes this problem.
Direct Share is still not working.
This is all I had to say about the new .9 update, the rest of the more extensive things I covered can be found in the 11.0.7 thread, and it wasn't productive to write them here again, since the experience didn't change.
Battery seems a little worse than 11.0.7 but that was just the first day of testing, so it's irrelevant for most real world situations.
Other than the new method of installing and the few problems that seems odd to me, I can't report anything else after 1 day of usage. It's more usable, but it still have it's quirks... at least they didn't break anything else this time.

Yup.. Day two ram managent is getting as you described.. Still the device seems working better..

Update: generally better but still ram gets full after a couple of days. Still needs to reboot to fix the issue and clean the memory.
I think it's unbelievable that 4gb of ram are not enough to run this system.. There must be some bad development.

Not seeing "Some app services stucks on Restart state".

I can confirm you that the app you have mentioned in 9 are causing the device to slow because if you restart the app and then force stop them via hibernator Pro your phone who don't feel slow until they start again

I'm still having memory issues on my 4GB RAM model. Chrome tabs usually reload when switching back from another app even if I only have 1 tab open. The Google feed on the left of the main screen also reloads constantly. Those things didn't happen on android 9, I was able to seemingly switch between apps.

Lspeed fixes it

I had issues when multitasking Youtube and Opera/Chrome. It lagged until starting to freeze the browser, requiring me to press home and go back to browser. In some ocasions, the device restarted, maybe when ram got full or somehow corrupted.
After months in this situation, I gave up the once beloved Android One for the MIUI port HybridOS. After flashing this rom my device is completely different, more responsive, much less laggy, battery charges much more faster, and drains a lot less. The difference is like water turned into wine. Not to mention better camera quality (much better!), and the ability to record internal audio from everything (thanks to MIUI). I'm happy with my device again.

Sir waiting for 11.0.10.0 review

Hi
Are you still on that version ?
How has it been I'm tempted as my phone's so slow now I'm still on stock.
Do the banking apps work ok as that's my main worry for changing as I need them.
Do you have a link for your version I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

Hi, I felt my device was slowly becoming unstable, and some bugs from the original MIUI device began to bother me a little, e.g. "Do Not Disturb" mode don't block message sounds from favorite contacts, I wanted only call sounds, as in Android One. My wife still uses the Hybrid OS (same phone as ours) and she likes it a lot because of the camera quality and the cool interface. Banking apps work fine in HybridOS.
I decided to downgrade my A2 Lite to the original Oreo Android One (8.1), and I think battery lasts more then Hybrid OS, and the phone is even more smoother and stable. Some tradeoffs are the (very bad) camera, no dark theme, no radio, and some other minor features, but the phone is almost like when I bought it back in 2018. Now I remember how great this phone was/is.
If you really wish, I can try to upload the Hybrid OS somewhere.

Do I have a hardware issue?

Hey!
Been having some troubles for 8-10 months now. Thought it was software-related, but those same issues persisted throughout CyanogenOS, RemixResurrection OS, LineageOS. I did full wipes between changing the operating systems. Changing the SD card didn´t help, either. My problems are:
- Fingerprint reader got very unreliable, sometimes it works. Sometimes it gives a short vibration indication that something was recognized, but the screen doesn´t turn on
- When I boot up the phone, there are several apps that take up to 10 minutes to show on my homescreens after it is booted up
- Many apps keep crashing all the time. Re-install didn´t help, they still crash (Unforuntately blabla has stopped working...etc)
- When using Facbook, everytime after a couple of minutes of browsing thorugh the news feed when I buffer or watch videos, the apps freezes and my phone reboots
(- Battery runtimes are sometimes very normal (3.5 - 4 hours screen-on-time over 2-3 days), but often I get maybe 2 hours of screen-on-time over 1-2 days before I need to charge it again)
- Basically, my phone is very useless atm...I can do a couple of things, but it often crashes, freezes, os way too slow.
Might there be a RAM issue? I have no idea....do these symptomes seem familiar to some of you and you might be able to help? I might have a hard time making use of my warranty since I flashed/rooted it, right?
I´d really appreciate your help
I really wish you had received any replies to this, because I am having the exact same issues. Too bad our warranty expired the day we flashed the devices! I mean, the phone does work, but it is very annoying. I used to be really reliable in the beginning, Opening the camera takes a few seconds, the shutter is very slow and sometimes switching to video mode or back to photo takes 30 seconds or more. I've always been flashing the newest lineageOS, but there's no change. It's been like this for 16 months :-/

could be RAM. could also be some issue with the internal SD storage.
it's a far shot but try running a trim on your device's storage. check the play store for "Trimmer (fstrim)". see if it makes any difference.

That seems to be an accessibility feature, as said by someone in the comments turning off the respective accessibility in Settings should remove that.

At first the device is turn on for about 45 secs and then turn off and goes to twrp.

But when I try to install magisk again, my phone keep getting boot to twrp like I mentioned before.
Anyone have same issue?
Hi, I'm using MIUI stable v11.0.4.0 on Redmi Note 7. After the update, I cannot scroll down notification panel while I'm using any app (vut it works fine while on home). Furthermore, the status bar is completely black colored, and no interaction is possible.
I tried everything, but the problem persists, even with rotated screen.
The only times it works correctly, it's while I'm on lock screen (here, status bar is transparent as it should be, and I can scroll down the panel without any issue).
Anyone is facing this issue? Any ideas?
Can You tell me, how can You install twrp i just can't, i try bi mitools but get stuck un the password, and by adb just reboot un fastboot again

Issues with my redmi note 7pro
After the recent miui update like mentioned in the above complaints, I too am facing lag, charging issues, battery life issues and my phone doesn't charge once in a while when plugged in. And also I am facing extra draining of my data and receiving of weaker signals on my sim card.
My RN7 works laggy and buggy after Miui 11.0.4 update, specially after using gcam.
The UI crashes very often at the point that the three navigation buttons don't work. After closing all the apps and cleaning background Ram, it works laggy as hell taking 15 seconds to save a photo on Google Photos and 4 seconds to open a group of icons from Miui desktop.
After restarting it works fine, but slower than Miui 10.
RN7 was working great, I was very happy with it like when I bought the RN3, but the last update turned it into crap.

All issues Android 10 update xz2 compact

I think it would be useful to have a collection of all bugs of the android 10 update. From my point of view it is a disaster.
I noticed the following (after I factory reset it) :
Touch issues - touching the screen lightly does nothing. I have the actually tap it... This makes writing a pain, as hard to reach keys do not always register
Backlight auto adjustment issues - now it's very aggressive and basically stupid. I'm sitting in home, in the evening, almost without moving, definetly in the same spot and the backlight just jumps around in big increments
Lag and shutter in daily usage - a restart solves this for a couple of hours...
apps are now often reloaded - memory manager is too agresive and kills background apps
GPS NOT WORKING. It was flawless before update ?
build-in swiftKey keyboard does NOT remember how and where you type IF you change the keyboard layout /position (compact, split, side, etc...). This essentially makes it useless
A factory reset is not enough , try software repair using Sony companion
Im not having touch or GPS issues, but my phone is definitely slower and laggier since the upgrade to android 10. ALso my battery seems to be depleting faster. Is there any way to roll back to 9?

Wifi is often lost and quickly reconnects
fingerprint sensor isn´t as sensitive as it was before
battery drain is bigger than before
bluetooth pairing with tablet doesn´t work properly...being paired: YES, but no connection at all...tried three different tablets...bluetooth headphones work!
The camera application is crashing when I take photos.... :crying:
I really haven't faced any of those issues. The fingerprint is the only things that have become laggy, the phone is louder now when playing music, camera works great even with unlocked bootloader.
You should try to do a clean install with newflasher my phone is even rooted and works great.

Scratch that... I am experiencing all the issues from OP's post. It is especially severe when trying to use two apps at the same time in split screen.
Sony mobile engineers answer my bug report
Android Beam doesn't work (transferring files by touching two phones with NFC).
Nothing works on this phone any more!
I will never buy another Sony phone and surely I will advice others against buying such sh*t.
------------------
I contacted the Sony support in my country and they said "the download must have been corrupt" and I "should try to reinstall" via the Xperia companion (some kind of desktop app).
Mind boggling is the fact that this answer comes "directly from Sony engineers".
Now... I guess it is clear for everyone why they f*ucked this phone so bad. Their engineers think that a corrupt file can 1) be installed successfully 2) cause all these bugs...

Why factory reset is not enough?
If the corect procedure is to use that "companion", WHY they pushed the update via OTA?

The only brand who has this crappy issue is Sony ! Companion fills all the missing files or damaged files .. during the ota download and installation sometimes things go wrong
For everyone reading this thread: there is no such thing as instalation with corrupt or missing files.
All files in today's IT world are uniquely identified and double checked after download.
Their answear is only a way of not telling us that they f*cked up this + they think that we are stupid. Some of us might be fooled by this, but surely the majority won't be.
We have primarily the camera issue, a reboot resolves it temporarily.
Anyone managed to fix these issues with a fresh Sony companion install?
52.1.A.0.618 here. Fingerprint is slower and the battery drains faster while screen on. (Standby and deep sleep are both ok). Everything else is the same as Pie, at least for me.
Add me to list of unhappy xz2 compact owners. Phone is almost unusable since the update. More often than not the finger scanner only works when you press the power button first, it lags awfully in most apps, I get errors in apps I never did before, battery drain is about the same as previous. Overall this is my last Sony. Very very poor. Should add I did full companion restore and it made zero difference
I have to add my voice to this thread, short as it happily/sadly is. Since the update I've experienced a number of issues: Fingerprint scanner is less sensitive and sometimes doesn't work, the wake-up procedure is strange, in that the icons will appear before the background loads and even though I have security set to not show notification details on the lock screen, they'll reveal for a split second before waking up to the home screen, the camera is unreliable, the timer app doesn't reset or dismiss when appearing on the notification bar..
It's the first time I've ever emailed Sony Support on what was (and I hope still will be) my favourite ever phone. They of course just tell me to factory reset. Such a shame and I hope they fix it.

I'm having the same issue. Not sure what is wrong. I have not factory restored my phone. That is ridiculous
I also add the bug of Google Assistant in Stamina Mode:
I always keep It disabled when long press home button, but when Stamina Mode turns on, Google Assistant switches on again automatically although in settings shows that is off.
wow its been 2 years since I bought the XZ2C, had issues with the wifi and data so I went back to android 8.0, and use it for O2 priority only. Came back to see if android 10 fixed the problems. Disappointing.
I am not surprised at all that Sony still hasn't fixed any of the issues.
With today's New Update the the voicemail-Record-Volume Bug is fixed.
Finally. Too good to bei true.

No.
-Facebook applications can't record video (Video capture fail error)
-------Found problem--------
The only system wide equalizer system that still works (the one explained here) on our device is causing the problem related to recording video in Facebook/Facebook Messenger/Instagram. Force closing the app now enables the video recording and as soon as the app is restarted the problem occurs again. And that's weird because the DSP isn't supposed to mess up the microphone or whatever facebook finds faulty and cancels the recording... Weird... Will look this up and update if solution is found.
Going back to the PRO version of that app now totally ignores the volume control of the device, which means in this .5 built the audio paths were modified. With pro version video recording is still failing. This is not a fix from xiaomi, this is an internal workaround, which is bad!!!
Even clearing the system, problem still persists. Checked permissions, checked storage writing, all is working, except video recording.
--------End of edit--------
-Sim settings does not respect system theme (only white)
--------Lazy modding from Xiaomi, this is the same dual sim controller app you had in Android Pie, just thrown in the Q environment--------
-Refreshing external device problem still persistent, new data copied on to the device only visible after reboot.
--------Not the only one with this problem, this is basically related to having huge folders on your SD card. I have a folder with >15k files in it)--------
-Sometimes some large games force close, but are fine after restarting the app (only sometimes - Only applicable on Gameloft ones - Totally unimportant)
What was fixed:
-Video record sound can now work with Google Voice turned on
-Ram management works fine for me (4/64)
??? Questionable effects:
-Lock screen sounds work for me (testing after a reset, still working just fine)
-Charging/USB sounds seems too low for me (problem persists, the vibration of the device is actually covering the sound)
Other than this, everything else remained the same as per what I wrote in my previous replies.
Qualcomm's app for data collection is still there, so this may be another partial release. They fixed something but the broke something else in another place.
Another lazy update, the battery is draining much faster than on .4 version, waiting for calibration. I'm starting to get sick over their incompetence to test and deliver a good end user experience.
OTA Link: https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.5.0.QDLMIXM/miui_DAISYGlobal_V11.0.5.0.QDLMIXM_4e152f6600_10.0.zip
Let's not conclude quickly that the memory leak has benn fixed. I am trying to trigger it.
edit:
The device did not wake up from sleep, I got a random reboot.
magisk works as it should.
I install the update OTA this morning from official pie, the phone work well, the phone signal is a bit weak but all works well. No gesture in smart Launcher 5, i have fluid gesture for this feature.

Mine doesn't work too.
It began after upgrading to Q.
Also did two reset through settings, but nothing changed, still missing.
Have you maybe tried to flash fastboot image ?

I upgraded through ota from 10.0.18 to 11.0.4 and then i did Factory reset;
- New Charging sound was gone
- Lockscreen sounds doesnt work neither v11.0.4 nor v11.0.5
Anyone else getting super slow charging with this update? This is my first attempt to upgrade from Pie, and I've gone from 23% to 25% in almost an hour on standby...
- Direct share is still not available.
Please what do i do?
My phone is stuck with boot loop after upgrade to android 10.
how can i downgrade?
hi all!
face unlock function is gone completely, but after poking around I found that is the 'feature' and requirement of android 10 due to google's security concerns. ok...
but the problem I am facing is of a different nature. After update, I did factory reset but did not remove fingerprints prior to that operation. Now fingerprint enrolment fails every time I attempt to add another fingerprint. I was doing some digging around before posting this, and I already did try some of the solutions suggested for some other models which I have found scattered across XDA / so I already did boot twrp and erased via twrp file manager some of the files in /persist/data but that did not help.
any suggestions that could help, please?! thank you!
also, did anyone find a way to get rid of CUSTOMIZE PIXEL message?

Yes: -
1. Sell Mi A2 Lite
2. Buy a Pixel
Seems bizarre that the Pixel would not force this message on you and the Android One phone would but at the point this phone is exactly that, just a bizarre curiosity. Bye bye Xiaomi.

You've got to hand-exit the XML file in the settings suggestion data folder. You'll need root. Or you could boot (not install) TWRP and edit from there.
If your bootloader is locked, there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it. You can clear data on settings suggestions but the suggestions will come back and can't be dismissed.

thanks. my boot loader is unlocked so I can boot easily into twrp. But I am not sure what do you mean with hand-exit and which exactly folder that xml file is in? thanks again.

This happened to me after upgrading a Xiaomi Mi A2 to Android 10 from Android 9.
Might be related to the "/data/data/com.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs/suggestions.xml" file not updating some values properly, since some users with rooted systems have changed manually this values to "true":
​
<boolean name="com.google.android.gm/com.google.android.gm.setup.AccountSetupFinalGmailSuggestions_is_dismissed" value="true" />
<boolean name="com.android.settings/com.android.settings.notification.ZenSuggestionActivity_is_dismissed" value="true" />
​A​nd the suggestions don't appear to them anymore.
I had to do this a few times, as new things popped up.

[HELP] Camera won't work after Android 11 Update + Possible Cause?

I was previously on android 10 i believe just a few days ago and my camera was working just fine. The other day I got a notification telling me to update to android 11...so i did and didn't think anything of it.
I use my camera alot for photography so this is very important to me, google camera or any app that uses your camera no longer works.
Example 1: As soon as I launch google camera it just crashes.
Example 2: Snapchat, instagram, or any other apps just give me the error like "snapchat was unable to open the camera".
I know a lot of people are getting this same issue because if you go to the play store and go to google camera app and sort reviews by recent tons of users are experiencing this.
I have two theories on what's causing this.
Theory 1: I've been using an app called "lens cap - disable camera" for over a year now just for peace of mind, I guess it used some sort of device administrator priveledges to block all apps from accessing the camera.
I believe I had the lens cap on (camera disabled) before and when I started updating to android 11 and I think that may have caused a weird break in permissions that somehow has me permanently unable to use the camera anymore.
The reason why this is something I suspect is because according to the developer of that app "android 11 removed most of the functionality of device administrator in favor of enterprise work profiles" (not sure what this means) but I think for some reason this caused it to get permanently blocked.
I have the github page for the apps source code if anyone can possibly look at it and see what exactly the app was changing in the first place because then maybe that way someone can possibly come up with a way to fix mine and many others cameras.
Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to post links on a new account but the program can be found on github called LensCap by a user named percula
Theory 2: Android 11 just broke the camera by itself and the lens cap app maybe has nothing to do with it.
Ive already done all the obvious troubleshooting like resetting permission/preferences, restarting in safe mode, uninstalling and reinstalling camera apps + clearing cache and storage etc
Sorry of my formatting or grammar is sloppy at all I've had a long day and I just really want to get this working again
If none of your troubleshooting fixed the issue, I think the next option is to do a full reset (using recovery - not the selection in the settings menu). Another alternative is to flash the full factory image and allow it to factory reset the phone as well.
This will mean loosing all your app data and pictures, etc, so back up before you do it. But I am confident it will fix your issue, regardless of the actual cause.

So would you recommend doing "recovery" or "flashing"? Also how do I get to this "recovery" thing,
originally I was thinking about trying to downgrade back to android 10 but from what I remember the steps looked really confusing ;w;
Apparently a lot of people are getting this issue but in the end they said they had to try and RMA it, so I hope recovering or flashing fixes it, kinda worried this update actually permabricked something in my phone.
sorry if its a dumb question I don't know much about phone stuffs
thank you for your response.
There's definitely an issue with android 11 and the camera.
I didnt have any issues on the beta 2, 2.5, or 3. But upon installing the public, official version.. the camera fails. I've tried 2 factory resets. I've installed the ota.zip via adb sideload. And then did a complete format and install of the full image.
Here's what issue I'm having, personally:
When I open the gcam app, it freezes for about 15 seconds. Then I get the "not responding" screen. If I hit wait, about 15 second later, I get the camera on and it's images are on the screen. But it's so laggy that it's not even functional. For instance, If I try to zoom in, it's about 20 seconds until it actually does. Same for taking a picture. I have sent bug reports to them.
I'm gonna downgrade to a better/smoother version. Probably a custom android 10.
Like others, I use it24/7. The pixel 3a is an incredible camera. I hope it's fixed soon.
I don't even know where to post, I came here looking for a solution, but looks like there may be none, other than going back to Android 10 and never ever installing any kind of update on this phone.
I bought the 3a because of the camera, and because I was taking crappy quality pix of my toddler with my previous phone. A9 worked great, A10 worked great. Camera almost instant, switching from Camera, to Video to Portrait, no problem. Message that A11 is available, so hey why not, it's not IOS. Wrong. It totally screwed me, the camera takes from 1-8 seconds to start, to switch between modes. If I double click power when locked camera start (with delays), I then turn it off using power button, when I unlock the phone the camera app is open.
Sometimes when I open it a second time it stays on the setting I chose before (i.e. portrait, or video - not camera default - this would be a nice toggle in the options though - say if you always shoot portrait).
Portrait mode has reversed the picture order (left/right - blur/no blur).
I have missed many shots of my little one since I've upgraded because of this garbage update.
I have a lot of apps that aren't the "latest" version, that work as I need them to; can someone suggest an app that will let me back up my exact versions, then reinstall them after? I have no idea if such a backup/restore app could also save the app data; I don't have root
Also, if someone could point me to a post which shows the way to switch back to Android 10, step by step, I would appreciate it. If I need to reload all the apps and info, I might as well go back to a known working version.
I have also noticed that some other apps are acting funky now. A once rock stable and reliable phone, these days I just want to throw it straight down at the pavement with all my strength... often...
I have the same issue. Have you resolved it yet. My camera app is working but other app using camera gives error.i had also lenscap and problem arised after update to android 11
