Mi A2 : Grainy Videos After Update

Hi guys,
I just fastboot flashed my MI A2 to the latest September update because somehow I wasn't receiving OTAs since I purchased the phone.
However, after updating it, I noticed considerably more grainy videos and its also visible in daylight. I am not sure if it's just my imagination or anyone else facing the same issues? The photos are OK though.
Is this kinda issue possible after an update? Thanks in advance.

Quality control seems to be bar at xiaomi. Guess that's why they pulled the update. Other people are also reporting problems with the camera

OH. They pulled the update? Means I should pull mine back to version 9 as well?

At least no one o the August update is seeing it anymore. It's just a speculation on my side.

How can you pull it back?

I just checked video (with the update), pretty sure there are 2 differences, but 'grainy' isn't necessarily one of them.
Did video resolutions change? I don't remember 4k30fps being there or even 1080p60fps? The other thing I *think* is different is the PDAF was working before and now AF doesn't happen (that's for sure). You can touch a focus point and that works, during the video, but pretty sure it was doing that itself before.
Once it's focused, for me anyway, it's very clear.

I guess the only way for me to find out is to directly compare the vidz btw my mom's phone and the problem phone when I see her over the weekend. This bugs me so much.

Had [email protected] before. [email protected] came with the August update. AF during recording works for me with the September update.

Hmmm, so just tested again, AF is working! How bizarre. Guess it goes to show one should always close app, maybe even reboot, and test again, just to be sure.

So I have finally compared the video of my phone to my mom's which is not updated. Apparently it was just my imagination. Been too used to the vastly superior video quality of the OP6. LOL.
Sorry guys for the false alarm.

mate 20 pro firmware 9.0.0.166

Hi,
I heard that there is a new firmware update the one mentioned above, did anyone get the update and can post a change log of the changes?

I've seen mentions of 166 and even 171 but I'm still on 146 since I got the phone 2 weeks ago and did the first upgrade from 122.
Canadian M20P.
Hoping for camera fixes (less aggressive sharpening mainly and video letdowns) plus a few quirky bugs (I loathe the crippled functionality of the so-called "smart case").

i hope that camera fix comes in.. otherwise this might have to go back. The camera is very over hyped just like the mate 10 pro was. Even my old Honor 8 produced better shots.

What issues? I'm on 171 maybe I can tell u

What have you noticed? I noticed that scene detection doesn't work as well . Basically only picks up sky, greenery and that's kind of it?

Happy to hear about .171, I'm still stuck on .127 on Bell's network in Canada...

As long as it is getting better ? we are slowly getting there so it was a software thing and has nothing to do with hardware?
Are u from Germany? I'm from Germany but still didn't got the update

I have the 171 from funkyhuawei because I wanted to unlock my bootloader
Jeah it's definitely a software thing, but it's getting better, slowly but steady )

T-Mobile ASD9 Update, No Night mode

Just got the ASD9 update ota and installed. Still no selectable bright night shot mode showing in camera app. Is there a separate update for the camera or something in settings that needs to be toggled?

Can't say I'm surprised. Samsung is not known for fast releasing anything.

Interesting. Previously, the international version was last to receive updates.

Try to disabled it via ADB, it might work.
Use these commands (make sure you enabled ADB in developer options) :
adb shell
Pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.entitlement

Not just me then, this seems to be a wider thing. There's hardly any info on what the process actually does. I mite have a go at uninstalling it

Uninstalled. No I'll effects so far

Maybe some debugging service that Huawei left by mistake?

New 311 Patch
Ok, info for all who using 311, new patch just come out, and looks like this one killing entitlement. See attached photo.. , hope all will get it soon.. :good:

Removing the service seems to have helped

Hmm, strange, for me patch killed app immediately, and phone is faster and smoother too, was your 311 from firmware finder or official OTA?

Camera help

I need help...... I've bought the pixel 4 xl about 2 months ago. But I've realized something. The image quality in the view finder is so low, like bad compared to the final image. Idk why this is an issue because it's supposed to preview the final image straight from the view finder. I've looked everywhere to find a fix, even sent reports to Google but I have no luck. Anyone experienced this before know how to fix?

Sorry for the bad news but I suspect maybe your camera is broken. I just bought a 4XL also and mine works great.

Think so? It takes really good pictures like I said. But the view finder is just low quality for some weird reason
