Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice. Thanks for your patience. You may tap “System updates” in [Settings] >[System] to check if there is new firmware available. Or, you can also try to manually update firmware by referring to the following link.
How to update firmware on my phone?
【Release Note】
1. Enable IN Airtel/Idea/Vodafone & ID smarfren & TH DTAC/AIS/True 3rd & RU Megafon/MTS VoLTE & RU MTS VoWifi
2. Optimize fingerprint unlock speed.
3. Improve Camera performance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please download and give review about camera and finger print scanner.
PS : Reminding me of my first Motorola Moto G (1st gen) 's frequently updates ( Lenovo killed it though)

Fingerprint scanner is faster now.
Camera slightly better .. especially front camera.
Device is HD capable notification removed with VoLTE icon added in status bar.
New setting under Display named Smart Screen which will prevent screen timeout if you are looking at the screen.
Battery seems to be even better but it's too early to tell.
Face unlock improved slightly.

Yeah the device now supports Airtel Idea and Vodafone VoLTE.
Camera (Especially Front Cam) has improved a lot since last update.
Added VoLTE icon instead of previous 'HD' icon.
Fingerprint sensor is also working more fluidly and efficiently.
Face Unlock is also better than before but still needs a bit fixing maybe with future updates it'll become more secure and efficient.
Attaching a screenshot for those who complained about the Device not supporting Airtel Volte!

We can even alter the temperature of screen within display settings.
Fingerprint and face unlock has surely improved alot.
Camera has now better accuracy in portraits.
But still no support for live wallpapers.
Even, no improvement in audio through wired or bluetooth earphones.

This update removed MusicFX (system equalizer)?
For some reason my MusicFX is gone after this update. Screenshot attached, every music player i have (PowerAmp, Retro Music, Play Music) can't find the system equalizer. How do you report this (and other possible bugs) to Asus anyway?
And yes, fingerprint got better.

pls provide latest xxxxxx309 ota update zip file for
ZB601KL

The multi touch issue still hasn't been fixed. I thought it will be fixed with the May Security patch. Can anyone else check the same?

Hell Yeah No Equalizer in Play Music! Earlier it had Equalizer settings and although i didn't have any issues regarding the audio quality (I have used K3 Note which has Dolby Atmos) still I changed Equalizer Setting to get more Bass! But Now no Equalizer! No MusicFX. Is there any way to Give Feedback about this to Asus.
**Update** I've found some articles(From BGR) on Google regarding installation of Snapdragon Music App and MusicFX. Originally they were posted for OnePlus 5 but now it shows that the apps can be installed on any Snapdragon Device without Root. So can anyone check whether I should install it or not? will it cause any trouble to my phone afterwards? Please Reply!!!

Yes .. Asus has atleast communicated to reviewers that it will provide bi-monthly security updates.
The updates are minor changes and not major upgrades like MIUI8 to MIUI9 or Nougat to Oreo .. so safe to assume that it will get security patches atleast.

Thanks a lot! So i tested it right away, and it works, at least the MusicFX came back and worked without the need to manually push it to system. Once you installed it, you'll be presented with 2 options when you go to the EQ screen, to use Snapdragon Audio+ or just MusicFX (look at my screenshot). Use whichever you want, it will open the same EQ screen with same setting.
I used the XDA link, there you have the option to download 2, APKs: MusicFX.apk, and SnapdragonMusic.apk. The Snapdragon Music didn't work, however. It forces closes. Don't really matter tho.

You're Welcome! Hey but one thing I've noticed is that my device doesn't show any option for Snapdragon Audio+. Mine just shows Equaliser and MusicFX while choosing Equalizer settings in Play Music.

Try this ..
Go to ZenMotion settings ( System - Gesture -ZenMotion )
Disable it with the Toggle on the top & enable it again.
Disable double-tap-to-wake and enable it again.
See if it is fixed.

will not work.. you will have to flash the 247 fastboot ROM first and then update using the 309 ROM. Remember that with fastboot 247 ROM the bootloader will get locked again (you can edit the flashall.bat file to remove the commands for locking the bootloader). Unfortunately the fastboot method will reset your phone.

Mi A2 Stock Camera App

Anyone have stock camera app from stock rom for Mi A2/Mi 6x? I need it for my custom rom

This link should have it for you: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1efwL5y90eDG8ugivIJ_7wkj6LWbWQCJN
also, this is the directory it was in: /system/priv-app/MiuiCamera/MiuiCamera.apk

Thank you very much

I installed the camera app. But it shows app is not installed. And the camera app which was already present was not opening too. Any suggestions? I'm running on 8.1.0 stock rom with August security patches.
Also can I have stock camera working which has effects like mint,maze and others?
Thanks in advanced.?

I'd suggest you do a factory reset, as it sounds like there are problems with your system. I've never used any of those effects and don't know if they are available or not. Good luck.

I just restarted my phone and the camera again works. When I bought my phone the camera effects were there. But when I updated my phone with August security patch the camera effects were changed.

I'm talking about the effects that are shown in the screenshot.
Also I have a complaint about the portrait mode on my rear camera. The pictures are little dull. Again don't get me wrong I'm only talking about the portrait shots. Everything except that is working like charm. ?
I think mi A1 had better portrait shots.

Keep in mind the Mi A1 had different lenses than the A2 does. I'd bet the A1 software is exactly what the A2 is running. So the app is probably tweaked for the A1 (and other of the xiaomi line up).
The A2 is different than other phones in that the aperture of the 2 back cameras is f1.75, where the A1 has f2.2 and the 2x is f2.6. Those are **very** different than the A2.
I'd bet (hope anyway) that Xiaomi tweaks a version of the app for the A2. AND they enable cam2API and EIS! I'm sure many are disappointed in the effort needed to make those work, if you dare (I don't want a permanently rooted phone, I'd like to get the updates).

No more oversharpening?

I recently saw that the camera does not over sharpens the photos anymore, which is something that I personally liked. Is there a way to get it back?

Is there any way how to do it? ?

What's new in 156? I'm still on 131

Is 156 different from my 152 or is it other name on different countries? (I still have oversharpening)

I reset my phone and now it's back... I haven't done that since an update... Something must've happened. Anyway, thanks!

i read from build 152 and up, that master AI is disabled by default, which then oversharpening of the images won't be done, since AI isn't activated. It can be enabled/disabled via camera settings from build 152.

It was enabled by default for me when i got 152.

that's because it was enabled before 152 build, if you did a fresh install of 152 then it will be disabled by default. Only new installation/factory reset will put it to disabled automaticly.

Hey, I want to buy a P20 Pro instead of S9 (not Plus) but the oversharpning and the week cpu... I'm not sure. But when it is solved, I thing i will go for it. So, is it solved with the new firmware?

There is still some sharpening applied even when AI is disabled. But what troubles me more is the aggressive noise reduction and heavy jpeg compression, it takes away so much of the details this camera is capable of producing.
/ Magnus

Some sharpening is OK. Every raw needs to be edited to generate a jpeg. It would be great if you can adjust this process like you can do on a dslr. Sharpness, Saturation, denoise, compression… none, low, mid, high, extreme. On the examples which I saw, I guess they use something between high and extreme. Low would be nice, mid also OK.
Maybe we should contact Huawei "aggressively" for a feature request.
@Magnus3D, would you buy the phone again and is the camera worth the drawbacks?

Every device has it's drawbacks, and as most of us know even the P20 Pro. But to answer your question, yes i would not hesitate to buy the P20 Pro again because all of it's advantages outweighs it's disadvantages.

Even if you cant unlock the bootloader and huawei stops updating their phones? That means you cant flash any custom roms and the device is stuck on the last official rom released.

Yup, it doesn't matter that much for me. If those are important for you then get another device which fills your specific needs and requirements.

Yeah I'm on EU Global Rom v 2.07 atm, and I'm missing it too. I don't believe the NA Global has it either. Some users have reported an update to EU Global v2.09 that added camera features and block calling in game launcher. I switched to this global Rom in hopes to get it but it hasnt, dunno why maybe region specific update push. The CN Rom stock has all kinds of features, but some drawbacks at least in US, no LTE and SMS system is horrible even with root and gapps....it's horrid lol.

Have you tried gcam to see if slow motion works there? It's unlikely but worth a shot

Slow motion does show up in the options, but there's still no button to record in slow motion.
OK, so it's not in the video section... that's grand.

They did fix the performance issue, or at least got it back to performing like it was in 1.11

Nokia 8 Sirocco Google Cam mod not working after Andriod 10 update

Hi All,
Phone : Nokia 8 Sirocco
I used to have a working Google cam mod on my phone until the Andriod 10. Now none of the mods I install works! It just crashes.
Does anyone know which works on this!?

Yes, me too... Please, help !
With killercam v1, just video work...

HAL3 is disabled
Hello,
It seems that HAL3 support for Camera is missing from the Android 10 build. I've send an email to Nokia support today. Until it is fixed, and you(generally speaking) are still on Android 9, and use Gcam mod, stay away from the update.

I hope problem with GCam will be resolved soon.

They disabled Raw with this Android 10 update.
We paid premium so we could have less quality camera, and camera app options than mid-range Nokia's ?
Remember, no Lightroom raw capture and edit possible either.

Same here, I have tried lots of Gcams and all not working, except the stock one from Play Store, but are missing important feature like night mode....

The posted solution results in a working GCam but I would not agree that HDR works. Yes, the menu is active and you can toggle the feature on but there is no difference in the photos at all (at least to my eye). I suppose that the app is taking normal snaps without HDR, regardless of the chosen mode.

I really hope MHD fixes it, if not, it was my last Nokia. I understand if you have to root a budget phone. But if I pay close to premium price, I also expect the software to work, without me touching it.
No HDR, broken glance screen, broken play store, increased battery drainage, worse wifi connection. It went from a phone I was really happy with, to a phone that pisses me off every day.
Rant end. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm gonna wait. Have a nice day!

I wanna know the method you used to unlock it ?
I am gonna try to enable the RAW Capture

I have unlocked it through Hikari Calyx. I have paid 9$ (41 Ron). He accessed my PC through Team Viewer and used a virtual USB to attach a smartcard. With that he reflashed my phone with android 9 (but you can choose 8 also) and unlocked the BL.
Everything was done within 24 hours.
This was my first phone with a unlockable BL and i have missed a lot having root on my phone. Now with root is like i'm having a new phone
P.s. : After unlocking the BL you can OTA upgrade to 10 if you wish but i do not see the reason. 9 has everything and none of the issues of 10.
With 10 google disabled ACR functionality.
HDR api disabled by HMB
Huge battery drain (do not know the reason)
A2dp issues
Etc..
Although with root you can fix all the issues i rather not have them in the first place. Therefore i will stay on 9 at least until a good stable 10 comes out of HMD global.
