Nope, this is the changelog from 10.3.3.0, not 10.3.6.0-

Oops... The "what's new" is about the version I've installed.

That is not true. Before update to 10.3.6.0, on 10.3.5.0 (if good remember), my MI MIX 2S proximity sensor worked very well. I could even change the sensitivity in test additional tools and see differences in sensor reaction. It turned off screen even if I hold phone 0,5-1 cm from face, without touching him. Now setting up sensitivity dont change anything. I must place and keep finger on sensor for a few seconds to change the value from 5.0 to 0.0. But it works only 2-3 times for 10 trays, and only with finger placed perfectly on sensor. Zero reaction if I put and touch phone with face.
Before update to 10.3.5.0 it doesnt work, like now, and after even earlier update to 10.2.?.? it worked correctly. So this proof that problem is in software, not in hardware. I think some updates (maybe only security updates) reset sensor calibration setting or set up permanently on minimum value.
This is really annoying... I am more and more afraid to update the phone because there is still a lottery or the sensor will work or not after the next update...
If you want change proximity sensor sensitivity:
SETTINGS -> ABOUT PHONE -> tap 5 times on KERNEL VERSION -> in right top corner tap on three dots -> ADDITIONAL TOOLS -> 11. PROXIMITY SENSOR -> and here you have slider, default set to 0 db.

Hi there, for 5 dass im now trying something top get my proximity working again.
Only solution i found was to root and use "xposed sensor disabler" app. App "proximity Sensor Fixiermittel" play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiledirection.proximitysensorreset worked just once, cant remember whick Update was flashed.
Anybody anyhow fixed it?
I'm now still using 10.3.6.0 ...
Frustrating ... Before i really Loved my Mi A3.
Best regards.

Weird camera bug

Hey xda forums, not sure exactly where else I could post this as this seems like a weird software bug.
The problem is the cameras; they are not working as they should. The main lens apparently does not exist, and the cameras are glitched to the point where only the telephoto lens appears on one side (with it having the ultrawide icon and apparent 0.6x magnification when in reality it is using the telephoto lens zoomed in as normal)

}
By pressing the "flip cameras" button, the flipping mechanism does not work. However, the view is flipped 180° and suddenly the ultrawide lens appears! (Disguised as telephoto lens on the app and apparent 3x zoom when it actually is just the ultrawide lens working normally). I would need to manually adjust the flip camera tool to have the camera flip out to me. Also, when taking a picture the app just crashes, and no picture is taken.
The problem also exists in other applications. Snapchat only uses the wide angle lens. However, pressing the flip cameras button does trigger the flip mechanism; a problem here is that the cameras are 180° (upside down).
When using the flashlight feature from the notifications bar, the flashlight turns on and immediately the camera flips, blinding me with the flashlight facing me lol
Anybody have any suggestions on what to do?
Things i noticed before this happened was an error message "The cameras are being used by another application. Please try later". When this message started appearing, all 3 cameras were viewable in the camera app, but when flipping the camera, the app would crash if i tried to flip with the main lens. This lasted for about a week, then the camera app degraded to what I have just described
Things I have tried are:
- Use an alternative camera, such as GCam (won't open, immediately crashes)
- Safe mode
- Factory reset
- Install TWRP and Magisk, advanced wipe and download the ROM off asus website (The ROM which my phone came with as the cameras were working normally for about a month before this happened)
- Install another version of AsusCamera (internet or make backups of system/priv-apps/AsusCamera onto an SD Card and then install)
None of these seem to work. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Problem with Proximity sensor

Hi,
I have two POCO F2 Pro phones and the proximity sensor is still malfunctioning in one.
During the phone call, the proximity sensor suddenly stops working and I turn off the microphone with my ear, or hang up the call, or turn on video conferencing on Duo.
Of course, the phone has already been reset many times, it was even in the service, where the proximity sensor was reportedly replaced.
But there is no such sensor in this phone, here is the technology of Elliptic Labs which uses the Virtual Smart Sensors solution.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

You can try Hidden settings for MIUI and test and reset the sensor there.
The apk can be downloaded from playstore.
If that still fails, I had a similar issue with my Mix 3.
Just turn off the phone screen with the power button when calling (have to deactivate power button ends call)
Or you can use Tasker (in my ase I used e-robot), to program the routine to turn the screen off after hooking up a call, You still can turn it on via power button, in case you need ti use the screen during call)

Go->settings->my phone->characteristics->kernel version->tap several times->CIT menu 13 also see on the 3 points at the top right (additional tools).
Possible that there are some differences because i use EU rom.
A test then restart and performed a second test.

Question Xperia 5 III was dropped and now the camera is always on, should I trie to repair or give up?

Hey!
So last Monday my Xperia 5 III fell and now the screen cracked.
As a side effect, I can't access the camera, and when I try to use it it says that there is an error (Plus, the flashlight claims that the camera is in use).
I suspect that the fall somehow triggered the camera to be always on, and now the battery drains quickly (It went from 100% to 10% during a 6 hours sleep, with the screen off).
Do you think I should send it for repairs somewhere?
Should I try to open the phone myself?
Or should I just give up on it and buy a new one?
I've attached pictures of the phone, the flashlight saying that the camera is used, and the Pro app saying that there is an error.

Always use a good case...
Impossible to tell what's wrong without tearing it down. Mobo damage is a definite possibility.
That would effectively total the phone.

enable the turn sensors off button in developer options, with it enabled you can disable the camera from the pull down menu

I enabled it, but I don't see anywhere that I can control which sensors will be turned off.
And it seems that the camera is still in use, since the phone is still overheating.

You might need to add the button, i'm on android 11 but there should be something for 12.

reboot the phone, with sensors off still enabled, see if that works.
If sensors off clears on reboot, try enabling it asap,

Hey, I opened the rear part of the phone, I tried to remove the cameras and various other sensors and nothing changed, do you have any idea what it could be?​

Im amazed people make threads for this.
Yes, you should obviously send it to a certified Sony repair center, yes it will be expensive and yes, buy a good case and screen protector.

General (Update) 12S Ultra doesn't use main sensor at 3rd party apps

As you know, 12S Ultra has 3 camera sensors on the back.
The main sensor is IMX989, which is known as 1-inch sensor and it has best quality.
For ultra-wide and telephoto, it uses 1/2" IMX586.
When using default (Xiaomi) camera app, it uses IMX989 for wide, IMX 586 for ultra wide, telephoto, and macro.
This is normal. Nothing to be special.
But the problem starts when you're using 3rd party applications.
If application uses Android standard camera API, they will not utilize the main sensor.
Instead of a huge 1-inch IMX989, they will use IMX586 on the ultra wide.
You will get normal wide focal length (NOT ultra wide), but It will be noisier, less dynamic range, less resolution.
Maybe ultra wide sensor has two mode - full sensor readout for ultra wide, and pixel binning/cropping for macro and normal focal length.
This can be disappointment for some people, and huge minus for some nerdy professionals who using 3rd party apps like Filmic Pro.
You can test this by blocking MIDDLE lens on the back.
As far as I checked, Lightroom, Instagram, MotionCam, was not able to use Main sensor.
UPDATE : after clean installation of MIUI 13.0.7 with factory reset, problems are now fixed.

Thit is very weird, so I put it to the test.
The above apps you are saying you tried are working fine with the main sensor on mine phone.
I tried few more camera apps and they all use the main sensor too.
13.0.7 stable

I do confirm using main sensor on Lightroom.
However on lightroom it has only two camera modes, rear and front facing, and when you use the rear mode it first uses main sensor but when you are close to an object or you cover the laser sensor at the top, it automatically switches to ultrawide for macro.
version 13.0.7

Okay. I made factory reset / clean installation with MIUI 13.0.7 and its fixed now.
Maybe it was an bug on MIUI 13.0.4 or temporal error.
Thanks for checking.

yeah update note for 13.0.7 includes camera stuff, perhaps it included a fix to that problem in 13.0.4
well I'm glad it works for you now!

Have you tested motioncam / mcpro24fps? Are all sensors available, and what are the possible resolutions / framerates?
Considering a 12s Pro if the compatibility is there.

I‘ve tested MotionCam 4K at 30fps, 24fps. Only main sensor works.
But system will auto switch to macro (ultra-wide sensor) when you focus to close objects.
