Hi guys
I have a new mi 8 128gb 6gb ram the fingerprint sensor doesn't register my finger only if I press very very hard.
Is there a fix for that.
Unlocked mi 8
You dont need to press hard at all. Just touch it. Perhaps you need to delete the fingerprint and register again
Hello,
I have the same issue, 6gbram, 128gb storage, blue mi8 from gearbest...also asked a few friends to try and they have the same problem. Weirdly, it works much better with my wife's fingers. I spoke with the seller from gearbest and settled for 42$ to repair it myself, didn't wanna wait for a replacement. I ordered a new sensor for 7$, from aliexpress, hope it is a sensor problem. To me, it seems like a sensitivity issue, it does not registe my finger tips, but it does register other portions of my finger. But my fingertips work fine on other phones, including mix2s.
Have a nice day
Same problem here. Lick your finger tip, then touch. Suddenly it works with some moisture. I don't know what this means though.

Yeah.
It really was a great phone.
How long now? 4 years? 5?
The screen is still fantastic. Big and wide and great definition and deep blacks.
The pen is not trying to do too many things.
The back cover comes off - and there's the battery.
Change the camera lens cover and the photographs are still excellent.
And the lovely metal work is elegant all the time.
It still manages all the games fine, boots fast, is quick with apps.
It's the best ok phone I've had - and I've had them all.
The note 10 is the first one that comes close. I like that they've kept it slim
But the Note 4 still rocks.
Ok. Bye!
Let me know what you think!
Why, of course, the battery is sealed now. Otherwise not much reason to upgrade year on year anymore. Phones are not leaps and bounds better from a few years ago. Only add gimmicks like in screen finger reader. Older flagship speed is enough if you don't play games. This world is sad.

Long may it last!
I haven't found an equivalent replacement yet. Sadly, iR control in restaurant/bar TVs seems to be declining...
I have the SM-N910C and I live in Brazil.
I bought it new in 2016 and until today never gave problem. The battery is still great. I almost bought Note 8 or 9 recently, as I needed more internal memory, but solved the problem by going back to Android 5.1.1 (WanamLite, which I've used once for a long time).
I was almost 9 Gb free. Now you will be much longer with me. The device is fantastic.
N910F is still my daily driver! I have modded the cr*p out of it, feels so good, fast, smooth. Hope to be able to use it for 4 to 5 more years.
Bought a LG V20 for my girlfriend, 130 euro. Might also be an option for me, in case my Note 4 breaks down.
BACK BUTTON TO KILL app (only works once)
I fully agree with you aboyut Note4. I bought my wife one and she wanted a 10. I told her I could make the guts do the same thing (plus I can't see spending arms and legs for the most rapidly depreciating item). I've got 128 memory card, one of those massive multiple day batteries, round magnet charger mini USB that jumps on (no plugging), happy as a clam!
Does anyone on earth know of an apk that won't turn off after 1 use back button to kill app? That's my favorite function and I can't stand not being able to close them as I finish except those I return to. I have the apk but I have to keep going into settings, turning it back on for a one time use. Ive searched programming apps but there's none on earth I see that will do the job, and my OS doesn't allow it (I'm still trying to get a custom ROM but having no luck, bricked my other phone yesterday (I think bad CPU sector somewhere based on symptoms).
Hello, I'm currently on a OnePlus 5 but think that it's really overrated coming from my mod friendly S5 mini. I plan on maybe going back to an older phone, because I don't really need performance for anything except Dolphin and Citra Emulator (the MMJ variants of course) but I'd be willing to sacrifice it, since I've seen myself using it only rarely anyway, but I'm a little concerned about 1. The community, since it's an old phone, even though it's a really loved phone. 2. The stylus - does it work on custom ROMs? 3. The battery - I'd definitely buy a 3rd party battery, since the originals will have lost a LOT of capacity, but going from a 10nm SoC (SD 835) to a 20nm one (Exynos 5433) is a little concerning. (4. The kernel and modding sector - Are there good kernels from honest people, not guys like franciscofranco, and mods?) I'd really appreciate answers, maybe I could be helpful because I'm still very young but pretty experienced with modding, development and that stuff, even though I don't even own an x86 desktop and don't even speak english as a native language.
The Note 4 ... a great phone, the best I've ever had! Using it for 4 years now. If it breaks I will upgrade to the Samsung Xcover 4s. It also has a removable battery and the phone looks very reliable. But unfortunately no customs ROMs avaible for it now..

It may depend on what version of the Note 4 you have or if you know how to port roms. For instance, i have a n910p and locked to the fused5,binary4 aboot preventing downgreading the bootloader. So stuck on 6.0 MM, so thrat sucks but the n910f is very similar in compatibility so that opens up other options. Theres also a GRX touchwiz home mod V8 that is pretty cool.
Im running a combination of Dtux Rom with an N7 custum kernel by freeza r61 and GRX V8 along with. alll sorts of ports from different develops. Thats just part of what I have done with the old N4.

Still Have My Note 4 & Note 7
The Note 4 with Android 6 still serves very nicely as a work phone. At the office, it does everything I need very well. The Note 4 is a better phone than my mom's Galaxy J7 from 2018. But for fun and photography, my Note 7 rocks. Those two Note models remain my favorite. I gave my Note 8 to my wife.

Could you expand on the camera cover statement please Kolembo ... how, from where ?
Agree wholeheartedly ... The Note 4 still rocks,
Cheers .... Alan.
Note 4 was best choice am happy with my note 4
Now am using s10 plus & note 4 ♡
Note 4 is still my favorite of all phones I have had.
I am considering the Xiaomi Mi 9 lite.
It has quite a lot of features of the Note 4: iR port, SD card, oled, earphone plug.
No removable battery, no pen, no barometer. Oh, and doesn't cover so many bands. B12 seems missing.
Would also have some advantages over Note 4: faster, security updates, bigger screen, FM radio (ha), longer battery life, better bluetooth.
I love my note 4. It covers so many functions such as tv remote, portable mp3 player, book reader and movie player. I also love the fact that I can swap out deodexed roms and custom roms at will to enhance the device's longetivity. I do believe that there is no other phone quite like it on the market so I guess thats why I bought a back up note 4 many years ago ??
Yup we're still building
10 Android ROMs and counting.
Plus Ubuntu touch !
I am wondering if my Note 4 is finally dead. I love the phone and was hoping to still be using it but a few hours ago the phone just froze so I just removed the battery. After that, I put the battery back in and it wouldn't power up. I left the battery out for a 20-30 mintues and then put it back it. It was able to power on but after the Tmobil splash screen it goes to the screen before going to the home screen and when I swipe nothing happens. I am afraid my Note has finally given up after years of service. Is everyone else's Note 4 still kicking?

After several update over last year the phone started to be very slow. The final blow came beginning Dec 2019 when it did restart by itself and did install then 1 app. Usually will ask me for this. Since then the battery drains 10 times faster. So it is obvious that the update was meant to make me buy a new phone... But I like soo much the note 4.
First I did a factory resent. Did not help at all. Then I did flash it with Odin - now it works soooo fast, better than the new phones. But the battery drain continues. Fully charged in the evening I leave it in flight mode. In the morning the battery is only 50%. And this is with a new original Samsung battery I just bought. Will a re-flash with nand erase help? Does anyone have experience with this?

Is it hard for you to find or buy another Note 4 battery? I know it's old by today's standards but I would assume there might still be some new third-party batteries for it. I still have 2 new batteries from Anker when bought two extra for the device a year or two ago. Good luck on trying to find something.
Hi! this is my first time to post about my Mi9T Pro (Global version) "6/128" that i bought yesterday here in Philippines..
my issue is only Noticeable in Playing Games like Competetive like "PUBG, Call of Duty, ROS, any Games! i think all of them ?? what i mean is.. a HUGE TOUCH DELAY!! when your 2 thumbs are on the Screen and your right Thumb swipe faster to rotate 360 is not that accurate.. i can really Feel it as a GAMER. i bought this Device more on GAMING, because of Notchless Design and AMOLED panel.
when i Play any Games i mean the Dragging on Screen Sensitivity when Scoping or Not. its not accurately going on point where i swipe my thumb.. for Example: i swipe upwards.. it goes upwards also but theres a shaking on Screen.. i cant AIM properly..
soo is there any solution on this?? can a Custom ROM or Kernel can fix this?? cause i will Unlock my Bootloader immidietly! i dont have Tempered Glass installed. only the stock Casing that are intack on the Phone.. nothing else..
soo i need your advice! im currently on 10.3.3.0 (PFKMIXM) version. latest Stable
Sadly, the touchscreen on this phone is terrible. Let's hope the new MIUI 11 software update coming in the next few weeks would solve the issue.
i dont think Android 10 can solve this..
its a hardware issue and common problem in all xiaomi device , just a matter if you are affected or not . i guess its all because of cheap low quality touch panel to cutting cost.
Did you solve this issue???? Im buy MI 9T pro and play CODM too. I also meet your problem
A) Take it back and get a new one; or
B) request a warranty repair.
However, if it's not purchased from an "authorized reseller" Xiaomi will avoid taking any responsibility for the problem. They did the same to me with the Redmi 5 Plus - widely known touchpanel fault - 100% manufacturer issue, zero help. Tons of users of that device have all manner of input freezes.
At the end of the day what matters is that you're happy with it - after all, it's your money. Make sure the seller takes you seriously. With issues like this it can be a pain to get sorted - as the phone might appear and be perceived as working "normally" but evidently the touchscreen isn't behaving ideally in videogames. Given you bought a high-end phone specifically for this purpose, make sure they take it seriously.
If the replacement handset still suffers the same issue you're describing then I'd suggest getting a refund altogether if possible. I can't say I've had issues here and I tried PUBG mobile which works fine (albeit the touchscreen controls don't feel natural anyway) - but as someone whom is very perceptive to faults other people don't notice (like frame jitter, ghosting, screen bleed, dead pixels or crappy acoustics) it can really grind my gears when tech products don't hit the mark. You need to make sure it suits your needs - it is, after all, a 'flagship-type' phone. If PUBG mobile doesn't feel right on another BNIB Mi9T Pro then it might be worth spending a little more and going for a OnePlus 7.
I recently had an expensive 'freescrolling' mouse that kept subtly scrolling up a few lines by itself after I scrolled down. You could live with it but I've not had that from even cheap Chinese mice.
I bought K20 Pro on Pre-Order and have been using it ever since.
I am not a camera person and I bought the phone because of its processor, and the ability to get Widevine L1 on custom ROMs.
I am a heavy gamer and I game a lot, mostly fighting games like Mortal Kombat and MMORPGs like Mobile Legends. Not into PUBG or games similar to that.
So, as the title says, should I upgrade to Mi 10? It has 5G, but my country doesn't have a single 5G provider yet.
Any help would be appreciated!
Screen is a bigger in MI 10 too. But in my opinion your should wait for as long as you can if you're currently satisfied with phone at the moment.
Phone scenario changes a lot in every 6 months and we should try to latch on the latest only when performance isn't good enough anymore otherwise we're gonna feel outdated in next 6 months..

Hi. I've managed to swap my unrecoverable, hard bricked X Performance SoftBank motherboard with Docomo one. Got it updated to latest Oreo 8.0.0 build 41.3.B.1.82 via Xperia Companion OTA update.
Played with it for 10 minutes already has serious slowdowns. Can't even play YouTube videos properly, can't even play Call of Duty Mobile properly as before (took 1 minute to load a frickin small Nuketown map, match already started, serious lag even on lowest settings). Even my so called "midrange" X Compact can play really fine with slight or no lags at all. A "flagship" phone should play the game better. Already compared them both with GeekBench 5 using CPU test. The X Compact Snapdragon 650 got the upper hand by 21 points on single-core. On multi-core, the 820 won by 11 points.
I don't think I've broke something inside the phone. I swapped the motherboard slowly. Got the frame screwed really tight. Tested the phone. Everything works fine except it's really slow as hell after 10 minutes using it. I updated it to latest Oreo update as soon as I turned it on. So, I don't have any experience using factory Marshmallow 6.0.0 on this Docomo motherboard.
Can anyone recommend me the best, stock Oreo build or android version for this phone? Thanks.

Yeah, you really ****ed up, I haven't used the device in s while, but all of the things above worked fine
And from what you said, **** it, it might even have been better on my old normal Xperia X
This isn't normal and you should've probably bought a completely new X Performance
