Information about stable update ? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Hey can anyone tell me is there any stable update after jan security update which i can update to as i am still on jan update. And as i can see in the forum talks about bugs

June 2019 patch seems to be fairly stable. July had screen rotation animation bug and August has some issues with switching camera modes.

It's not an issue: when switching camera modes the camera modules produce a louder noise (caused from camera focus).
It's not a bug, maybe Xiaomi changed some autofocus-related values.

Thank you for clarifying. I don't use camera all that much or at all so I haven't read too much into it.

Slow Camera Capture on Whatsapp

I noticed that my Oneplus 3T camera is very slow at taking picture from Whatsapp. The camera doesn't capture instantly after I press shutter button. There is a noticeable delay after I hear the shutter sound, sometimes up to 2 or 3 seconds! I have tried same Whatsapp version on different phones and they seem to capture instantly after I hear the shutter sound.
However if I am taking picture using camera app there is no delay at all. I am experiencing this problem since the first time I am using this phone.
I am using OxygenOS, rooted, stock kernel/franco kernel (doesn't matter, happens on both kernel).
Is there anyone having this problem? Or is this a known Oxygen OS bug?

I have the same issue with an unrooted stock phone as well!
Same here with my config
So I've updated to OOS 4.1.6 few days ago, still not getting better.

Camera bugs etc.

I am having some minor and major bugs with my new Nokia 7 Plus camera.
First of all while recording videos even in quiet rooms the audio track is filled with a loud hiss. Is that normal, or a hardware fault? Test-Video
Secondly i have a strange bug: as soon as i use the camera zoom in my stock camera app, the zoom won't work for any other app anymore, until i reboot my device (snapchat, whatsapp, instagram). After a reboot the zoom is working fine for those apps, but as soon as i start the stock camera app and use the zoom, it stops working again for those apps until i reboot.
In the end i would like to know if there is any possibility to enable OZO Audio System wide and not only in the stock camera app?

Hey guys, after 4 days of using my brand new Nokia 7 plus i have encounterd several problems, mostly regarding the camera.
I have problems over several apps:
- Instagram no sound in stories while in vibration mode.
- Snapchat video quality is very very poor and pixilated
- Camera Zoom in Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp sometimes works and sometimes not.
- Stock Camera app, sometimes there are glitches when the camera is switching from wide to tele in lowlight. Overall video performance is not that good as expected to be. Also Google Camera apk delivers better results for me, so this could be a software issue as well.
- Playstore and Recent apps window sometimes lags
Anyone else experiencing those bugs?

I notice some stutters too when using recent apps. I guess that could be fixed with optimization. Let's hope that they'll do that. I have no issues with camera, I'm pretty pleased with it.
Some Finnish users have reported noise issues in video recordings. Even in quiet rooms the audio track is filled with a loud hiss. It seems that this problem is presisten but only in few devices. That could suggest that there's some faulty hardware in stock.

Guess i am experiecing the exact same problem. Do you really think this is a faulty hardware, or is that normal?

While filming this there was no wind nor waterfall near by. The background hiss sounds like a static mono noise.
Having OZO audio only in stock camera and not even a dedicated audio recording tool is *really* pissing me off. Also, today I shoot a video at 1080p and noticed that the audio is a tiny bit out of sync. Is there any Nokia feedback app to report this issues?

yeah this is really anoying, hopefully they fix this with a software update!
would you mind checking that issue for me:?

Sometimes the zoom in those apps also just zoom x2 and then nothing happen

Using Mobile Nokia Care default app to ask about enabling OZO Audio System wide in phone and not only in camera stock app and their reply was: "At the moment, that is not possible, since the OZO technology needs to be licensed"
So I asked them to recored this as a request to be done in a future system update.
So I hope it will happen soon because recording audio without using OZO is really bad
Nokia 7 plus Google camera slow motion not working
Sorry to bring back a dead thread but I'm also getting the Snapchat/Instagram/Messenger zoom issue. It either zooms fine, jumps between 2 zoom points (I'm guessing jumping between the two cameras) or it doesn't zoom at all. It's getting irritating.
Bugs/problems:
-Front camera 4mpx and not 16mpx in all the apps that are not Nokia.
-Really low audio recording in al apps that are not nokia.
-Video stabilozation working really bad, ruinning the videow.
-Camera2 api not working in 2X cam. (Not necesary a bug(

Still confused with the Nokia Seven Plus front camera, Saw that the front camera is 16 million pixels, enough to check with #AIDA64 4mpx sorry for my English.

It is false advertisement. It is actually 4mpx upscaled to 16mpx by software.

The main sensor in the phone is a Sony IMX362 Exmor RS, not a samsung one. So i don't think that information is correct.

I think that Sony IMX362 and Samsung S5K2L7 are almost the same sensor. Both of them 7.06 mm (1/2.6") sensor size, 1,4 μm pixel size, 4032 x 3024 (12,2 MP) resolution and dual pixel PDA. How are you so sure that Nokia 7 Plus uses IMX362? Maybe Nokia does the same as some Xiaomi and Samsung smartphones, that use a Sony sensor in some batches and its Samsung equivalent in other batches
Anyway, I cannot believe that Nokia could have implemented a front 4 MP sensor interpolated to 16 MP. It would make sense 3-4 years ago, when we were on the "MP rush", but today the price of camera modules doesn't depend on sensor resolution. In fact, most of the best smartphone cameras have 12 MP (iPhone XS, Pixel 3, Samsung S10) and in the other hand you have a lot of cheap chinese smartphones with 16 or 20 MP sensors, so it would be stupid to use an interpolated 4 MP sensor having a lot of 16 MP sensor at really low prices.

Nokia is indeed using the S5K2L7 (Wide) and S5K3M3 (Tele) sensor for the rear cameras of Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 7 plus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_8_Sirocco
In the MWC video ( https://youtu.be/BaUh9HgjJtQ?t=2170 ) of Nokia 7 plus, they announced that the camera would be the same.
The front camera on 8 Sirocco is S5K4E8.
If Nokia's pixel binning claims are true, then the front camera of 7 plus is most probably S5K3P9.
How did I arrive at the conclusion ?
Photo resolution taken with the front camera 4608 x 3456 which is the closer to the maximum resolution of S5K3P9.
So indeed the sensor on front is a 16MP with Tetracell technology.
Heavy problems with white balance always, the video is terrible with the tertible stabilization and noise even in good ligth. For me video is unusable.
So the zoom bug also affects other apps. Hehe. That's interesting and annoying at the same time.

Camera Focus problem

The camera focus problem is bit annoying in probably every camera app can we do something about this issue
Le max 2 worked it out I guess,they have implemented some patch into their rom update and they say it's working fine now.

Whatsapp Camera issues following Oreo update

Hi Guys
Updated my Moto G5S Plus to Oreo 8.1 a few days ago using the commands on XDA. All is working great however I have an issues with WhatsApp, isolated with its Camera.
When I try to do Video on the Rear camera for video it seems to "zoom" in and I cannot zoom out. Its like jumping to max zoom and getting stuck.
With the front camera it seems to be VERY dark, the preview I see when recording video looks good, however when it plays back before sending its almost 100% dark, as if the light was never on?
Ive tried disabling the default camera, reinstall whatsapp all the usual stuff. I would assume if this was a widespread issue with the Whatsapp or Oreo update there would be more threads on it however I cant find anything.
Anyone else had this issue?

i have this problem too
The problem I have is that messages do not arrive unless I enter the application. The camera thing happened to me only in a couple of occasions where I recorded and it seemed that I had zoomed but it happened to me in the camera application not in wasap.
