Camera Autofocus Issue on Oneplus 3T

Hey guys ... I'm using a OnePlus 3T and it's 1 year and 4 months old. The camera was great until a week before. There is an issue with autofocus. Whenever I try to take a photo, the AF doesn't work and the pic is always blurry. In Manual mode I can't even change the Focus !!! Is it a Software bug or a hardware problem ?? Please help me out coz I'm not able to take a single photo now ....

Hardware problem, either change the camera module yourself or contact OnePlus and see if you can have a repair for free.
It's a known problem on OnePlus 3T.

Question Sending videos over Whatsapp looks choppy

Hi,
Did anyone noticed that when you send videos over Whatsapp , the quality is really bad? It looks like the video varies between 15 and 30 fps. Looks kinda choppy. I use normal Whatsapp (not business). My Whatsapp is up to date. I'm currently on 12.5.11 EU. It is reproduced in both CN and EU ROM.

I noticed this but I thought it was WhatsApp aggressive compression ratio , reduce quality by 90% isn't going to be a good experience
Try telegram

Or send it as a document over WhatsApp and the original quality and file size will be maintained....

Nah, it makes no sense.
Why would the compression cause it to look choppy just on the Mi 11 Ultra?
That's some MIUI/Whatsapp integration bug.
I heard some people have setting in whatsapp for video quality, sadly I don't have it.

Have you compared it with another phone side by side ?

I have many phones, never had this issue (with 4k videos as well).

Interesting.
Maybe it will help the M11U.

That's bull****.... I have had a lot of phones and it doesn't matter Xiaomi, OnePlus or Pixel... That's a WhatsApp compression problem. If the file is bigger, quality will be worse. There is nothing to wonder about.

WhatsApp is a problem in of itself.
If it only happens there... all the more reasons to take out the trashapp.

Agree on that. The problem is that friends, family and work all use WhatsApp.
Tomorrow I'll record 4k video on the LG Velvet, send in Whatsapp and update this thread.

Freedom isn't easy. No social trash apps on my phone including FB, Twitter and LinkedIn.
How can they keep you connected if they destroy your world?

Confirmed the issue does NOT reproduce on LG phones when sending 4K videos over Whatsapp. It is Xiaomi / MIUI issue. Annoying.

No solution anyone? How are you sending videos using WhatsApp with this phone ?
On my vacation I had to transfer the video files to my wife's LG Velvet and send the videos from her phone . This is ridiculous.
For the people that keep telling me it's Whatsapp, how do you explain that you can send the same exact files in WhatsApp from other phones ?
This is the biggest problem I have with this phone because I can't share videos in the family's WhatsApp group. Very frustrating.

I actually realized that when I try to send a video it will be 1 second long, I don't know why

Question Rear display use

Hi Friends , Have anyone idea about rear display use?.
I can use for it for selfie but nothing else. I want use like front display in rear display
If you have any idea, pls share with me

If you flash the Xiaomi.eu rom (weekly), you can also use it to record video, as well as, for selfies, music controller and notifications.

Xiaomi has not released that feature yet to their global rom It is currently only available in their beta version of the China rom, which Xiaomi.eu is based on, so it has that feature available now in their weekly rom.

It's not pratical to be used like front display. you can use it to answer/reject calls or change music, but i can tell you the number of times i place the phone on the table facing down by the fingers in my hand
It could be used as a light source(bright white) for close up shots but then again you can do it with flash as well.
I wished they had replaced it for one of these Macro/microscope/nightvision/thermal/blackandwhite camera
and add a mirror that does square so you can see yourself instead of a amoled screen
I would also like to see somethings like on OPPO new continuous zoom lens.
Oppo introduces true continuous zoom lens for smartphones
It should be sharp at every step from 85 to 200mm

However, with the Xiaomi.eu weekly rom you can also use it as view finder when making videos and using the rear cameras.

Still in beta, so we can't expect everything at this point. However, the majority don't use pro mode anyways. Just like most people don't shoot in RAW, so the fact that a small minority of users aren't happy, doesn't really matter in the larger scheme of things. Patience grasshopper.

Im sorry, there's nothing anyone can do about that. The rear display combination with the rear camera is still in beta and whenever they release it to the general public, no one knows and whether or not it includes pro mode, there is nothing I can do about that, otherwise you can take my advice and download Xiaomi.eu weekly, which is based on the beta China rom to be able to use the rear camera with video features. BTW, who needs pro mode for selfies anyways?

Faces details are soft with auto mode
Pro mode has sharpness control
And has no xiaomi beauty mode that includes with auto
Try it with yourself
Go to pro mode
Increase sharpness
And shot
So faces and indoors photos are way better with pro mode
Colors are accurate too

This is a community forum that doesn't negate helping others no matter what is your knowledge or what the issue is and not everyone is at your rank of wisdom you know?

I think there is more frustration with this particular phone because it was expensive ( by Xiaomi standards) and a lot of people who bought it are inexperienced noobs who want it to work like an iphone 12 pro max but even though the hardware is stacked the software is atrocious
Combine that with the low international sales count compared to the s21u etc and you're not going to have a lot of development going on
If I wasn't able to get the 12/512 for China mainland price I also would have bought another phone
The camera simply isn't as good as it should be and you will notice the 108mp cheaper regular mi 11 camera often takes more detailed pictures ( except zoom or night shots )
, if this camera was actually good they would have used it in the mi mix 4 and the mi 11t pro but looks like even Xiaomi know they dropped the ball here and tried to sell it on spec alone without the necessary software to back it up

OK, does that mean you are incapable of flashing another rom? I merely am telling you that there is a possibility, whether you use that possibility or not is your choice. That doesn't require an answer that makes it out like it's an impossibility.

So am i right with MIUI Global 12.5.6.0 i can't get notifications on the rear? In None of the Global Versions?
I'm a little bit confused

Question Stuttering and frame drops while video recording

Anyone else having frame drops and stuttering issues while video recording in Xiaomi 12 Pro ? I've already got the motherboard replaced from service centre still having same issue.

It mainly occurs if my device is overheating or close to it. Also when I zoom too fast while recording. Though it's not so much of an issue that I'm upset with it or anything. Machines have their limits.

Each and every video I came is full of stutter. No clean videos are coming out. Even it's not hot not do I zoom. I'm totally upset with it

You are not alone. Me and my significant other have both 12 regulars. Video recording is set on 4K30 nothing fancy. Each and every video has some dropped frames or some sort of stuttering. Really annoying.
Thinking about switching but there is nothing with same or comparable specs in this form factor. Really like Xiaomi though, would like to get this fixed

Had this issue too on my xm12pro (china). I figured out that it was WAY better when I switched from Xiaomi.eu rom to the official Xiaomi global Rom.
Anyways, it reads like you are on the official ROM, as your Mainboard got replaced, so I don't know if this is helpful for you - but maybe for others

We're on EU official ROMs also. I've tried everything. First approximately 5seconds a f video recording is stutter and frame drops. Switched both phones to performance mode bit that didn't help also.

I don't have this problem, what are your settings?

4k30 with phone running on performance profile. MME +3GB enabled as default, tried to disable that once to see if it's a memory issue, but nope.

Whether with a stock rom, Miui 13 A12, Miui 14 A13 or Xiaomi Eu rom never had this problem and the same with 8K.
Could be a faulty series..
What I would try to be sure and certain that it is a Hardware problem, use Miflash and flash a Stable Global rom. (V13.0.9.0.SLBMIXM) be careful if you have a Chinese version.
EDIT:
Have you tried setting the screen refresh to 60Hz/and lowering the resolution(FHD+)?

Just got the 13.2 and same thing. Two phones with the same problem? That's not very probable
The two phones are purchased different times.from different vendors also.

Something with codecs then perhaps? Also, Gcam might not have full API access but it definitely makes better photos during low light.
But yea, all videos uploaded or send to different devices are totally useless in my device, no matter the ROM. Only videos recorded with Gcam are okay. That is all I know.

None have the same characteristics.
Some problems may be common, others not and remain version specific.
This is why there are threads for each device.
Contrary to what you say the 12 pro Cn can have this problem.

The service engineer first changed my camera and gave me the phone to test but the results were same as before hence I asked them to change the Mobo. But still no difference. So I guess no hardware issue only software.
