I guess this post is more to vent than anything else, but I can't believe how horrible MIUI (both 8.5 and 9) are when it comes to certain things. Basically, my biggest issues are as follows:
1. It's a huge pain to connect a Gear S3. I need to use an older version of Samsung S plugin, as the newest update crashes all the time. I need to disable MIUI optimizations in developer settings just to get it to pair, etc.
2. Gmail notifications! All I get is a '1 new message' then I have to swipe down with two fingers in order to see who the email is from, or what it's about. I'd use a third party email client, but notifications don't work very reliably with any of them that I've tried. Just a mess.
3. LINE. Here in Asia, Japan especially, everyone uses LINE to message each other, somewhat like I imagine people in Europe must use Whatsapp. I have to install an old version of LINE, or else with the latest version, you just get a blank notification in MIUI 8.5, and a blank notification with no sound or vibration in MIUI 9. Again, a huge mess.
I can get around these issues by using RR or Mokee, but things like bluetooth audio (in RR's case) and SafetyNet issues (in Mokee's case) exist, and it's not possible to use Netflix or my bank's apps with any AOSP-based ROM I've tried. Seriously, what a mess. It wasn't a cheap device. I hope they get their act together and release something that works soon, but something tells me that won't happen, and I'll need to wait for some third party AOSP-based rom to come along and save the day. But for now, it just can't be my daily driver.
I've been using MIUI since version 5, and there are things on MIUI that just don't work. The way notifications are viewed is a real pain. Just this last year or so, they finally implemented swipe away notifications on the lock screen. That just shows you how behind they are with simple tasks.

Well i have to admit, i'm not a big fan of Miui either... what f***s me up the most is the huge load of bloatware in almost any corner of it.
Notifications are another issues. I used to have the mate 8 with Emui, so i'm spoiled, because it had more detailed notifications.

And I can't swipe notifications away on my Lockscreen either.

I just use the material notification shade app and it basically fixes all of the notification issues.
Thanks for the tip, didnt know two fingers worked.
On lock screen I just swipe to right, and the right and it goes away.

Don't you have the issue of a bottom strip of the screen is unusable with Material Notification Shade? I like this app very much and it somewhat fixes the MIUI notifications issue but this problem is keeping me away from using it on a daily basis. Note that I chose to hide the nav bar on my Mi Mix 2 (using Edge Gestures instead).

Yeah, if you you use MNS, you cannot hide the Nav bar, else the bottom screen does not respond to taps. That is why I said it is a kludgy fix.
Latest EU rom 7.10.26 has introduced improvements to notifications. Gmail now shows subject and sender, and two finger swipe down shows content.
MIUI is garbage but this phone is great with custom ROM's. Running XenonHD's 10/25 build, toss in adaway and pixel launcher, substratum OMS'd "swift dark" theme, magisk running, viper4arise, android pay even works (bought a candy bar with an nfc payment).

Am i facing these issues ?
--Unable to remove the google search bar. Any idea how to remove it ?
Update- checked with nokia support, cannot remove the bar.
--Increasing volume using side key increases the media voliume and not the ring volume, unlike earlier. Very confusing.
Media volume instead of ringtone volume seems pie feature ? also on pixel 3.
Hate it too...
Pie fixed a bug: automatic bt connecting when phone bt on. Now it seems to work
Battery still great
Missing feature is pie navbar, mostly the recent scrolling feature :/ was great for Multitasking

Pie navbar is under system, gestures, swipe up on home button.
Why would one want call log in app drawer...
Unfortunately mine has been rebooting itself twice after I installed the Pie update last week.
Mine too i think. Sometimes i have to enter pin to unlock
Ok Google is not working for me.
- ok Google doesn't work
- navbar gets cut off and becomes too small to use
- phone (scrolling, typing, etc) lags randomly without any apps open. Only restart fixes it.
- sometimes when taking pictures there's a pop-up saying "saving image" but the picture won't get saved and I can't access my gallery
- Bluetooth range and connectivity is terrible and makes Bluetooth Headsets unusable with phone in pocket
- random restarts while/after charging
Even in the safe mode the phone laggs like hell.
Feels like the official support team has given up
Hi
Mine works very well. Except the launcher issues i do not have any issue.
I have changed the launcher to apex.
No issue with bluetooth, using it daily paired with a ink'd 2 wirelles headset
Using Gcam, so no issue with saving pictures
No lag
No unwanted restarts random or not.
Multitasking is great
Ok google does have aome issues, is not working as it should, sommetimes it detects "ok google" sommetimes not. Also it is not understanding very well what i say to it. I think it is microphone quality issue, it would explain all the problems regarding the "okay google" feature.
P.s. : i try to keep to a minimum of installed apps that uses background tasks or that use push services.
What Gcam apk you using for pie?

Try intalling the Nova launcher (or some other) and you'll be able to remove the search bar. It worked for me. [emoji4]
Hi All,
So I have been trying to switch to android 10 couple times (3 exact) but because of it's bugs/annoyances it is really impossible to have it as a daily driver. Here are couple that I've found:
- bottom chin when keyboard is enabled (like really, what the hell. I know that for some folks that option is great and all, but it is making the keyboard unusable for me. I often touch the spot where the space bar should be and because of that writing seems very uncomfortable...
- LAG WHEN COMING BACK TO HOMESCREEN FROM APP - this is the biggest one for me. That problem occurs when you are using a custom launcher (like Nova, Evie etc.). Every time when you are coming from app to the homescreen, there is slightly delay in animation (like icons need some time to load...). That for me is biggest issue. Why do I need to withstand the lag in the system, when I have the fastest android smartphone on the planet?! Yet still i haven't found an solution for that (besides turning the animation completely off....)
If you don't have any those (or similar) problems and for you this update is gods gift then please don't respond....
I'am really disappointed with this Update and it seems that Oneplus is not going fix/change anything at all with it because they have already started rolling out the updates for Oneplus 6...
Feel free to comment on that topic
Thanks
Paweł
Just so you know the keyboard space is on every phone with Android 10, it is part of Googles implementation of gestures. It allows the use of gestures while the keyboard is open without typing or typing without triggering gestures.
Have you thought of using the stock luncher?...
@Snowolf940
Well Mr. Snow wolf, "sucks" is a relative term but I found 10.0.0 too buggy for me so I moved back to 9.5.11 and waited for another update.
10.0.1 solved all of the issues that bothered me except that annoying space under the keyboard. That made it so difficult to type for me. I understand the frustration there.
I stumbled upon this awesome fix yesterday here at xda. -100 did it best for me. The -75 was not enough removal of space.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/themes/fix-adb-disable-black-bar-10-0-1-t3987731
I haven't noticed the animation lag on Nova (which I am using) you were speaking about so sorry I can't help with that. But I would genuinely be surprised if it wasn't ironed out in the next update which personally I would guess would be soon.
I hope this helps you. Hang in there man. There will be better days ahead.
I don't know exactly what the issue with the keyboard layout is, but my keyboard hasn't changed.

It has been stated many times across many threads here at xda regarding the space between the keyboard and the bottom of the phone when using gestures (not a nav bar). When someone is not used to that space, users are hitting it accidentally instead of the spacebar creating many errors in typing. If you are using a navbar this does not apply. The keyboard you are using is not relevant either.

I am just really disappointed with this update. I have thought that the company like Oneplus just can't roll out so unpolished firmware.
Right now iam afraid that going back to 10 will be just waste of time....

I have not had this issue with the toast notification. I also haven't had the animation issue either. There are users having no problems at all on 10 so maybe you need to investigate more.
My only issue was with the keyboard and that modification fixed it.
You have other companies literally breaking wifi and data with updates so if OnePlus adds a space under the keyboard which has a fix, I think most will think it's okay.
But I would at least try the keyboard fix instead of just complaining when others are giving solutions.
The Facebook thing I don't know because I don't use Facebook and that app is the worst app for a phone known to man.
I've noticed some apps crashing, but I'm rooted so it is what it is. Overall no major issues here

Same thing with my issues with Android 10.
So after reinstalling it (4th time, full wipe every time ofc), I still have a delay when coming back to the homescreen from my Lanucher (it doesn't matter which 3rd party launcher I use). It's really pissing me off...
Once again, I do not understand comments like "for me everything works fine/ I can't see the problem".

I figure, if we have identical phones, and mine works great on the same software another is having issues with, it's either user error or maybe a bad phone and it needs to be replaced? Not sure.

Oh, there's also no delay going to the homescreen on a proper setup. If you want to use gestures on a custom launcher, it has to have quickstep support and you need to use quickswitch to set it as the recents provider

Honestly, I am surprised that nobody else has this problem with the delay or "notices" it. Of course I am happy for you! :good:
But unfortunately I also have this problem and it sucks really!
I have had the problem with Lawnchair, but the Nova Launcher also has this problem. Installing QuickSwitch does not help, it says that the launcher is not compatible with it...
That alone makes me think about either going back to Android 9 or trying out a custom Rom. But the problem seems to be widespread on Android 10.
Actually, the Stock Launcher is great, but I don't have the possibility to adjust icon sizes and grid. The presets are not enough. And I really don't like the drawer with this strange semi-transparent background.
At the end, i really hoping so that one or the either probem(s) will be fixed. I'm soo upset because of this crap but i should not be able to be so on such an high priced smartphone really...
Maybe you are mostly on Open Beta 5/6 and that lag is actually fixed?!..

I have started to notice the lag on launcher when unplugging the phone after using Android Auto.
What fixes it for me is to lock the screen and unlock it again a few times and then if will become responsive again.
This oddly (or not...) also coincides with some server side changes that Google pushed to Android Auto to enable the new features.
Adding here that the theme changes have just gone worse with 10.0.2 - theme follows the car, so if you use a dark theme and the car is in daytime, it will change the theme on the phone to bright when you exit Android Auto.
Also, the audio quality is pretty horrid and still not fixed, but I am experiencing with a workaround and will report when I have more concrete results
Hi all,
For some reason some notifications are not visible on the statusbar.
They can be seen on the Always On display, and if you pull down the statusbar the notifications are visible there, but not on the statusbar itself as an icon.
I noticed that you can configure each app individually to either show or not, but in my case they all are configured to show the icon.
Might this be a bug? Has anyone else this same issue?
Edit: I just found the cause. Some apps have 'categories' in the 'Manage notifications' submenu. You have to click on these categories and in that submenu you have the option 'Display on statusbar'! No idea why some where set to OFF.

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long
It's also worthy to mention that the device doesn't heat up while charging, so it's much more comfortable to hold.
The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm more impatient now ! It sound great.
And last question (I promise ) the native apps is it from Google (Gmail, chrome, Google calendar,...) ? Or Oppo (like Samsung mail or Samsung calandar version Oppo ) ? Thanks again
It has a lot of Google apps builtin. I didn't really see many Oppo equivalents.
However, some apps can't be uninstalled, which I hate. Think Facebook.

I have no use for BREENO[in Chinese] or Hey Tap[ seems to replace a familiar Android System admin app] .. Cannot use Google1 to restore old SMS/MMS from my Oneplus5. Cannot select new default messaging app [ TEXTRA] . Cannot , or cannot recall how to select default Launcher [EVIE]. Hope we get ROMs here eventually so to have it behave more like a OnePlus /US phone than a Chinese phone.
Help!

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.

default Launcher? I haven't set one for a couple of years, but now I cannot seem to figure how to choose my own preferred [Evie] , or why I cannot set default Messaging App [Textra], or get back my SMS/MMS that are backed up by Google1 to G-Drive.
How did you get Nova as chosen default Launcher?

I just installed Nova and it set itself as the default.
But if you go to settings and type default app then you can set all the default apps too.

Example: Settings, Messaging App: only shows choice Oppo-native, installed one. In Textra it prompts to make it default,, but sending a message results in the device declaring for some security reason it is resetting default to OPPO-native. BTW, OPPO-native is a low function featurelss app.
Launcher: old OnePlus5 in Default Apps has category: Home app [Launcher selection] , nothing like it in the choices under Default Apps on the FindX3pro
Google1 blocked from backing up MMS
My preferred File Manager: ES File Explorer pro lets me attempt to attach my G-Drive [cloud], passes through all the steps correctly, only to conclude "Auth Failed". The g-dive is fully accessible using the Google Drive app, but integration with ES is convenient, has been for years.
Any idea on how to address 'security issues' for either messaging or ES File Explorer?

Exactly, AliExpress straight from China. Language: English fine, but perhaps I was sloppy not being sure of a "Global version" . Any thoughts? Patience: Wait for rooting and ROMs?
Where did you get yours? Version?

Maybe it is possible to update it with an international ROM? I don't know if the connectivity is working fine too, 4G, 5G?

Sure look forward to giving it a try. Not even sure if there are tiny differences that would make the intl-ROM incompatible. I'm getting OTAs but the Chinese ones I think
[4G coverage good, not noticed or had 5G yet].
Over the last 4yrs I think I only took OTA from OnePlus & rooted it. The 4yrs prior the lock on the Samsung Note4 was never 'broken', Then 3 yrs prior with the Samsung Galaxy Captivate I sure enjoyed XDA-roms & rooting, but that was long ago, & I'm still dependent on skills of others.

Problem with Nova or any custom launcher on any Android 11 phone is that the navigation gestures dont work properly, there is a screen flicker issue when you swipe to go to homescreen. Thats why i am stuck with stock launcher on any new phone i get.
Hi All
Currently running the china rom until I can flash the eu one in 7 days. Was just wondering is there anyway to use Nova and gestures?
I've installed fluid navigation, granted over adb and it works perfect until the screen goes off. As soon as the screen goes off it seems to kill fng which then doesn't work again until a reinstall. It's really weird
Hello,
Heard that it has something to do with miui optimizations, try disabling that from the developer options and let us know how it goes.
Cheers !
Thanks, tried that but still no joy. Works fine until the screen goes off then it completely kills it. Must be something with stock gesture taking over but they don't work with Nova
Using the edge gestures app and this seems to work..
sorry to hear that, i also have the premium Nova launcher app and waiting to see whenever they will make this possible. i even bought sesame integrations for it .
saw a workaround on the mi.com forum but that guy was using xiaomi.eu
https://c.mi.com/thread-3660446-1-0.html
Not willing to flash xiaomi.eu only for this functionality, not to mention that they really improved the stock launcher in miui 12 and 12.5 sounds even more interesting .
Cheers !
Working well now with edge gestures, even from the bottom.
The nova Google now page doesn't work though for some reason. Ive still got 6 days to decide whether I'm flashing eu or not lol

how did you now get it working?
Edge gestures from play store works great. Doesn't even need adb permissions.
My Google feed page randomly started working too on nova :/
Only issue currently is now with Google news widget. I can press the buttons to scroll through headlines but can't open it by pressing :/ unless I open the app first then the widget works again for a short while lol

Same, I thought I would have to flash the eu rom and use nova launcher but I can't live without gestures but after a day I figured out how to turn on the app drawer and get rid of the vault and all that Chinese nonsense.
They're is a lot of crap I could uninstall from the cmd line but I'm getting great battery life already and I don't want to break it .
After Watching a YouTube video on miui 12 features I learned how to make miui launcher almost like nova
Still have 5 days to decide whether to install the eu rom but I heard you can't relock the bootloader ( or it bricks ) and this will break all your finance and banking apps which would be unacceptable...

I finally got the MIUI 13/Android 12 global release on my Mi 11 a few days ago and I am quite frankly disappointed. What happened to all the features they announced? The new widgets are no where to be found, battery life feels worse or at the very least not improved -though I gotta test it more- the new super wall papers aren't around and even the new font for crying out loud isn't included.
So my question is whether this is just a temporary release that will get updated to include these things in the future or not? and if so then when?. Also, what is the european version like for those who have it, do y'all got the same missing features or not?
As far as I'm aware this is a release for pilot testers, I'm sure if you look at the telegram message on the release it says that.

My error it was the partial release, I got the pilot testers release away last month but some testers phones bricked so I thought it was a new release for testers.
The new widgets are coming, I would suggest just use Xiaomi eu or MMX which are based on latest weeklies. I'm running latest Eu and I have all the widgets and battery also is doing better. There's an option under developer settings "suspend execution for cache apps" according to a post that I read it helps with battery I have been testing it out as of now to see if it does. Anyways latest EU or MMx are by far very stable with few bugs for a weekly, with all the new functions. (MMX has the new control center style but that is easily done by just updating the control center APK.)
I have heard that the missing features will be added in the global version of Miui 13.1, but I do not know how much is true and when it would happen.
They have officially released eea version 13.0.1 and 13.0.4 which is very close to global. So far I'm disappointed, lots of bugs. Very old bugs.
On top of that, DND feature has gotten all broken after miui 13 global update. I heard same problem is with Redmi Note 10 series after the update. DND mode doesnt silent notifications at all so whats the use of it then? Cant put it overall on silent mode as important calls are at times needed to be picked whereas notifications can be put to rest. Used to be working great in 12.5 but not anymore. Hope they fix it in MI11 soon. Secondly some apps which previously turned on dark mode due to dark mode enabled are again gone white so another bug. Cant find force dark mode option in developers option too so helpless in that regard... Hope someone in Xiaomi software team takes note of this as these are both annoying bugs

You have to enable app vault, once in app vault download the widgets and from then app vault screen drag them to the other screens.

Hi,
I assume that on MIUI 13/Android 12 they have locked even MORE the fact that you CAN NO use another Launcher and make the Navigation buttons disappear.
Is that correct ? Or is there a "simple" workaround for that ?
Because I have installed DerpFerst (which is now discontinued) just to be able to :
1°) use the launcher of my choice (as I do not like the iOsish ways of the MIUI Launcher)
2°) use my own gestures and use the full screen without any naviagation bar.
If that can be done in MIUI again, I may switch to MIU (or Xiaomi.eu) again...
If anyone knows, I'd be interested in the answer.
