Hello,
I'm having trouble with the Medium App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medium.reader&hl=en&gl=US. more specifically, I cannot highlight within the app because the MIUI internal highlighting mechanism takes over.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any solution?
Thanks a bunch!
P.S. I already contacted their customer service and was told it's a known issue that they can do nothing about the way the highlights are currently implemented within the app.
Just pulled it to my phone but no problems here.you mean high light the set up at start ? What version and miui number are you having
I have been playing around a little bit but didn't found much.the version I downloaded starting in beta mode.you can switch in settings to another version.

Hello!
I'm afraid my phone might have malware. Hopefully it's a false alarm but I would appreciate any insight into the behavior:
Yesterday I saw a notification with the EMUI icon (stylized red "UI") but when bringing up the notification panel all I saw was a green "down" arrow and no text. I've had apps with bugs creating broken notifications before so I tapped it to check. It sent me to a webpage flagged as a source of malware "d1.3gmimo.com/handpet/wallpaper/...<can't remember rest>". I closed the page and since Chrome showed the warning before loading the page I think it's safe to assume I didn't download anything.
I don't know the origin of the notification though so I'm afraid there might be some malware already present. It had the EMUI icon but that can be faked or may be the default when no icon is configured (not sure how it works).. The notification appeared over mobile data so no router redirect infection. Searches gave me only one hit I could make sense of - a forum thread with the poster describing a similar event. They got not explanation but see here for their screenshots: Google Translate on thread-5858387-1-1.html on club.huawei.com (can't post links yet it seems)
I am very careful with the apps I install, avoid all the copycat crap, and I only allow Google Play as a source. The phone was only ever used by me except briefly by a family member which I trust not to download anything sketchy. Still, I uninstalled the most recent 2 apps: Hashi and Nonogram Katana (has ads) , though these had been installed a week before. The list of installed apps shows nothing new/strange. I also installed AVL, Bitdefender, and Avast but they found nothing. (I know it's debated whether av/anti-malware apps are helpful but thought to cover everything.)
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!
Phone details:
Huawei P7-L10
Android 4.4.2
EMUI 2.3 (V100R001C02B129)
Branded by Vodafone and with their uninstallable apps - using it on different network though.
I know I should update but the update app doesn't find anything (I understand this may be due to modifications made by telecom companies) and I got lazy since I've had no compatibility issues. I guess I should think more about security.
After doing more digging and learning to use adb to look at the logcat, I think the notification might have been created by VLife, which is Huawei's wallpaper distribution service.
On my phone I have VLife 2.23.3 installed (seems to be stock) as a system app. The title is in Chinese but the icon is the EMUI logo. (I figured out which app it is by the icon and version number, after I found the app hosted on aptoide.com while googling for "vlife".)
I presume what happened is that VLife tried to download a new wallpaper (no idea why all of a sudden) and it went to 3gmimo.com, which might serve as a mirror for apps. The site is flagged as having malware. This might be a false alarm or the site might have been hijacked since my version of VLife came out.
So the app might be ok. Though I'm still worried why the sudden update. Maybe there's a central message that was sent to the app to update? (The logcat below mentions a receiver.) The only suspicious thing about the app otherwise is that it has the permission to record sound along with changing sound settings. The latter isn't so surprising since it provides multimedia wallpapers. Maybe recording comes with the rest of the sound permissions. I've disabled the app and disabled its notifications for now. It can't be uninstalled since it's a system app.
These lines come up quite often in my logcat:
I/am_proc_start( 604): [0,18761,10089,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper:main,broadcast,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper/com.vlife.receiver.PetMainReceiver] - the link I got referred to a "handpet"
I/am_proc_start( 604): [0,18907,10089,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper:main,broadcast,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper/com.vlife.receiver.InstallEventReceiver]
Does anybody know more about this app or service?
Thanks!
With the last update there came a new UI for the music player interface. Thats quite nice to see Google is active working month by month on improve Android Auto. But there is still a long way ahead. I think on one hand its also danger to change a interface without guide a user in detail about changes.
Sadly as a developer I didn´t find any announcement of this change and now my music player isnt working anymore. Have no clue why...
Maybe someone got a link with details about changes?
Update: Found out Google updated https://developer.android.com/training/auto/audio/ silently to meet the new design and functionality. Sadly it´s hard to see in detail what changed from last version to the actual. I am still wondering why my app isnt working anymore.
For those of you who took the plunge and updated to Android 11: could you share your findings about this update?
Are there any hiccups?
How's the battery łife compared to Android 10?
How's the new One UI running for you?
And last but not least: is a downgrade to 10 possible if needed? Or is there a new bootloader to prevent this?
Thank you in advance for sharing your findings!
Could I get the android 11 on a cheap ass Samsung Galaxy A01
I found the update to be stable and not have any of the bugs that folks talked about online. No blurry images with the camera, no weird battery drain, wifi issues, etc... I did however notice that the visible screen does not extend to the top and bottom of the glass. There is an 1/8 of an inch black border of wasted space. Also widgets now have a margin around them and they do not go full width of screen. I did have one app that stopped working, Kin Screen. Otherwise, it's working.
Beyond that, the phone now looks too much like an iphone. i have the swipe bar instead of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen, the iphone volume control and even notifications and the lock screen scream iphone. I do not like like this and want to go back to android 10. I have taken a look online and am finding instructions regarding downgrading from android 11 beta, but this is not beta, it's an official update that Samsung pulled.
Is there a way to downgrade without deleting my data and apps?

Thanks for sharing, I'll stick to Anrdoid 10
Regarding the downgrade to 10 from 11, maybe this guide can help you. Since the home_csc is used your data should be safe, however I would definitely make a back-up of your important files, pictures, WhatsApp-data/files etc before flashing the Odin-files!
I found that I can reload the android 10 firmware via Samsung smart switch. The only hixkup is that, doing so wipes data. I have backed up the phone using idrive. I'm just concerned that when I reload fro. Idrive it might restore Android 11. I'm not sure what files get backed up. Maybe I will look into oden if I can reload the firmware without touching apps and data.
Thankfully I froze the OTA updater 2 months ago. No Android 11 for me!
Hello,
After moving to one ui 3/android 11 on my galaxy s10 exynos, I'm now unable to change the icon set on poco launcher. It always default to system icons.

S10+ microphone problem
Hi everyone, the S10+ is one hell of a phone. Fast, reliable, simple great. However, in the past month or so, i had telephone issues. People couldn't hear me clear, they said i sound like im passing trough a tunnel. After it got updated to android 10, the problem disappeared for a brief period...

How to fix my mic after android 10 update? - Android Community
and here:
Since updating to Android 10, the volume is very low, approximately 50% of volume before the update. - Android Community
Android 11 still have this problem?
If anyone know how fix this, on android 10, please tell share.
Regards
there are some small changes/feature removals that I dislike in oneui 3.0
1. mirroring screen with chromcast is not possible natively. You need to install a third party app or google home. However, google home does not allow for screen resolution change, which was possible with the native mirroring feature in oneui 2.0
2. Split-screen seems to behave differently. When you habe two apps in split screen and you swipe up from bottom (home button), the whole split screen setup disappears and you return to your homescreen. In oneui 2.0, it minimized the upper split screen app and return home screen only for the lower app. Maybe this was due to good lock multistar addon, but even with that some addon on oneui 3.0, the behaviour is different, in my opinion worse compared to one ui 2.0.
Hello everyone! I have this device (with MIUI Global 12.5.3) for a month now and I have an issue, I cannot resolve: any downloaded file (pictures, documents, ebooks ... you name it), from any source (Google Drive, files downloaded with Chrome) is disappearing from the phone after 1 to 3 days, no matter what I do with them. I tried moving from Download folder to any other, tried to rename with Total Commander, rename in terminal (with Terminal Emulator) ... still some app or system service deletes them - not only from the Download folder but from any other location. Have anybody met this kind of behavior? Is there any solution?
update: the ROM is a plain MIUI Global 12.5.3 with no modification, no root, MI Unlock status is locked ... the phone behaved in the described way from the first minute, out from the box.
update 2: files copied by USB are fine

Hi at all,
Same issue here - my business files are disappearing randomly after a while after i download and move them to custom folders. (I use several webbrowsers to download and Total Commander to move or copy the files).
It's a pure disaster - my business files, work shift plans and so on get all deleted....
Anyone knows a solution to this issue, it's a killer bug?!
I no more can recommend the the phone, nor the company. Such a s***** mess..., they totally f****d it, honestly.
I disabled the security app, no more scans, cleanings or antivirus activities, all disabled, no change in this behaviour so far. More & more people are complaining about this issue, just search for it on the web.
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro, no rooting -> Brand Firmware up to date (MIUI Global 12.5.10.0 (RJDEUXM); Android Version 11 RKQ1.200826.002.
Many thx in advance to whom who may help me and the rest of the users.

There's no solution, only a workaround: don't MOVE the downloaded files to their final location. If you COPY, it seems they will be "alive". If you move, even if the file is in the downloaded location for several months, it'll vanish in max. 3 days - just tried few weeks ago.
Meantime the phone is updated to Miui Global 12.5.6 - the problem stayed (so the AOD 10 sec. limit), i don't think they'll fix these "features".

Too too too bad XIAOMI. That is my LAST phone from you. Initially I was blown away from your hardware quality in a positive manner......BUT this is a killer function, like robbery in ones own home, coming back and finding things stolen.
I lost trust in you XIAOMI, and "trust" that is the most valuable good in the digital world - users should NEVER lose it in YOU. You totally blew it.
Thanks for N.O.T.H.I.N.G...... no more your devices. Back to SONY or SAMSUNG.
Thanks @blews.

My thoughts are the same: decent hardware for the price, but software wise is the worst phone i ever had. I never hated my phones until this. Maybe with a custom rom or root would be better but due to banking apps these are not an option.
I totally agree. The banking point just minimizes the options. It urges me to look activly for a new device...too bad.
At last, guess I found a working solution to this pain in the ...
Go to settings in the security app. There find the function "cleaning". In this subsetting just turn on "remember for cleaning". Set the remembering intervall to the maximum (e.g. 15 days).
Now the app asks now and then to clean in the notification bar. Just swipe the message to the side to close it. Nothing will be deleted this way...!
I remember that this remembering notification appeared by default as I first got the phone. In the brginning, there was no automatic deletion issue.
Hope this helps as I think it does on my device so far.....
Over and out.
I don't know... On my device I didn't gave consent to the security app's 'Terms and conditions' so I thought the app doesn't run. So, in my eyes one more issue concerning trust in a Xiaomi device.

No it seems to run in some kind of way, no idea how. Same with my app situation here, I had withdrawn all consents, still had that issue.
Other example is the file manager app or the carussel wallpaper app - the apps tell you in case of withdrawn consent the app would not work. But they still do! You leave the app and directly restart it, then it runs!
To limit the Xiaomi homecalling I use apps to block the outgoing connections selectivly...really good so far. I recommend apps like "Blokada" and alike whitch open a virtual VPN on your device, in which you can massivly filter whatever you want. Not only saves battery, it speeds the device up and of course gets you a little bit of trust back in your decvice - but not in Xiaomi.
Hope I could help you. Bye.
Update 02-13-2022:
Nope. Files still disappearing. Trying Total Commander update with new write permissions, hope it helps....
Update 10-04-2022:
At last....Files are not disappearing. I updatet Total Commander and received Updates from Xiaomi. Additionaly I configured the "Security" app as mentioned in the post above.
Thanks so far.
Hello.. I'm trying to research an issue (or known change) with the Notifications on my OnePlus 10 Pro running latest Android 12. This problem was first noticed on my OP8T after upgrading it to Android 12. Since I just got a 10 Pro I'm posting here, since that' s my current phone and the one for which I'd like resolution (sold the 8T).
After upgrading the OP8T, my notifications no longer let me go straight to an app. I'll use Gmail for example. Before the upgrade if I had multiple new email, I'd have a single notification. I would swipe down and see it, and I could one of two things. 1. I could just click on the notification and it would take me to my Inbox. Or 2. I could tap the little side button that expanded the notification and click on one of the emails to be taken directly there.
Since Android 12 upgrade, I no longer have option 1. I bought a OnePlus 10 Pro - it came with Android 12 installed, and I have the exact same issue.
I am not seeing this behavior with a Sammy on Android 12, so it has to be something in with Oxygen OS.
Anyone else seeing this, and do you see it as issue? Is there a way to set it so when you click on the notification, it just opens the App like you were clicking the App's icon? I TRULY MISS THIS
Yes this is a very big feature and product miss. Not able to understand why this is not blown up yet.
