Hi all,
I've just received my Nokia 8 yesterday and I'm impressed so far however one thing is really bugging me.
Does anybody know how to turn off the haptic feedback on the fingerprint scanner when I am waking my device. I can't find the setting anywhere
There's no such one.
Ok fair enough. Thanks

It is, however, one way to turn off the fingerprint scanner vibration; set the phone in battery saving mode and it doesnt vibrate on scan anymore.
Not ideal, I know.
You can stop the vibrations.
Go to Settings -> Sound -> Advanced -> under the heading "Other sounds and vibrations" go to "Vibrate on tap" and turn that off. This will stop the haptic feedback on the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone.
Also, to stop the haptic feedback if you set your security to enter a pin number for your SIM card, go to Settings -> System -> Languages & input -> Virtual Keyboard -> Gboard -> Preferences -> and turn Vibrate on keypress off. I personally use the Swype keyboard as my main input method but because the SIM security interface pops up before that keyboard is loaded when you boot, you have to change it in the Gboard settings to see the effect.
Hope it helps

I have always had vibrate on tap turned off and the finger print scanner still vibrates when you use it.
I think it's normal, it must somehow notify if the scan went correctly or not. With the screen off, haptic feedback is the only discreet solution. Even my Nexus 5X behaved the same way and did not allow its disabling
I believe their could be away to stop the vibration if we knew the App that it is responsible for fingerprint vibration and turn vibration off in settings of this app.
for example the Nokia 8 vibrate after missed calls, and we can stop that from App notification in settings, so I'm looking to solve this issue the same way.
so any one know which app is responsible for fingerprint reader feed back & vibration ??

Is this a Nokia issue or it's Oreo related?

It works like this always, also on Pixel and Nexus. It's a normal behavior, a way to make the user understand in a discreet way that the scan was successful or not.
I don't understand why you are asking this question as if it were a bug or a lack.

Actually it is a bug, I unlock my smartphone like more than 50 times a day and maybe more, I don't need to get notified by vibration every time I unlock my smartphone.
this is an Android misbehavior.

It isn't a bug, it's the normal behavior. It works like this on any smartphone in the world, have you noticed only now and on this specific device?
It's not a notification, it's an haptic feedback: one impulse, finger recognized; two impulse, finger not recognized; nothing, something wrong, doesn't work.
The problem that you put is like saying that I block the device several times a day and don't want the excursion and the click of the physical button, IMHO.
If anything, the problem to be asked would be to make the feedback more discrete by modulating the vibration differently.
Without that feedback, how would you realize if there was an error in the scan or does the reader not work? (considers that the unlock works with screen off and it would be a waste of battery to turn it on only to notify the wrong scan).
In the end it seems to me a philosophical question and in any case should not be placed for this specific device, but for everyone, since it works so everywhere.
No, it's a android feature, not a bug. If it wouldn't work, then it would define as a bug and would be fixed.
But seriously, it would be a minor battery saving trick to be able to disable it. It's the reason why I disabled haptic feedback on typing several years ago, as it effected battery life tremendously.
Just to add to the existing consensus, it is definitely working as intended.
Or perhaps more accurately (seeing as I can't read the minds of Nokia's development team) it is working exactly the same as it does on any of the other android phones with fingerprint readers I have used recently.
Personally I find it useful as it provides feedback on if my fingerprint has been read and if it has been successful.
Because I often unlock my phone as I'm removing it from my pocket or as I'm picking it up so that it is unlocked by the time it's in front of my eyes the physical feedback is definitely appreciated.

Hello,
I don't know. But my previous Huawei P8 lite (2017) had the option to turn it off.
That's why I'm surprised because the (better) Nokia 8 doesn't have this ability.
It's just to avoid much battery loss that it would be nice to have that option (I have to unlock many times per day..)

If you want to switch off the vibration then put your phone on battery saving mode and see the magic. Have you seen? Have you seen? Have you seen?
Hey guys,
I just bought my Mi 9 yesterday and I have some really annoying problems with those Notifications... Like many people I don't get notifications properly shown in the status bar, which I solved somehow with that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/themes/app-notification-fix-mi-9-t3918964
That's nice so far, even though it does not work 100% of the time.
But whats really a pain in the ass is, that I dont get notifications on the lock screen either and also no LED notifications. Also while charging the LED isnt working. That means somehow the phone is unusable for a big part of it's purpose right? I found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3907830 and there is no solution and no answer since one month. I tried every single setting I could find about notifications. Nothing helped
Do I miss something or is everyone just accepting this huge bug and no one knows to to anythin about it? No workaround, no solution?
I even think about returning the phone. How is it possible this phone gets such great reviews and test results everywhere if it has such MAJOR problems?
Additionally I can't save pictures taken with the camera if it's opened via shortcut (double press AI button).. someone already mentioned that here and didn't get any help...
If anyone has informations, solutions or workaround for those problems, I'd be super thankful
Edit: Im on MIUI Global 10.2.24 and I'm using the POCO Launcher...
I have the same problems.
Led blinks only in white colour for a short time and that's it. Very annoying and I also don't get icons in status bar.
Is it really just a official bug in the global ROM?

Hi I bought a Xiaomi Mi9 not even a month ago.
These days I found a really annoying problem, my Mi9 unlocks itself in my pocket. I state that I have done all the possible tests, that is with and without double tap, with and without unlocking via mi band4, with and without lifting option, password, fingerprint and face detection. Trying various combos (thinking that maybe some of them would conflict with each other) I arrive at the same conclusion. Start the emergency keypad on your own, or if I receive notifications it even opens me up or I find myself navigating through my apps.
This is the main problem.
I have found other problem, like if I talk at the phone, I put the auricle in the right ear, everything is ok, while if I move it in the left ear I no longer feel anything. (proximity sensor
defective ultrasonic?)
Another problem that perhaps seems to have solved was that of bluetooth devices, the saved devices menu was missing. With a reset I fixed the problem at the time.
The fingerprint detector every 10 attempts, 3-4 never go through if the screen is in total standby, while if you wake up the screen in any way and then use the fingerprint it always works.
The most important thing I would like to solve is that of unlocking in my pocket, it particularly bothers me. I read that in June they had to fix this option, optimize it, but apparently it doesn't seem improved. I know that here the pocket mode is automatically inserted compared to other devices. But apparently it doesn't work at all.
I have the device correctly updated.
Help me discover something more or at least solve this problem and sorry for my bad english i'm italian boy =P

Hi
Which firmware, rooted or unrooted?
I can recommend to root and use firmware of xiaomi.eu
If you have the latest firmware with pocket mode included your only two options to fix the pocket unlocking’s are: 1. Get at flip cover. 2. Delete all fingerprints and use another unlock option like face recognition or so. This will also get you noticeably better battery hours.
The speaker problem I think is a problem with the position. It is very critical that you put the tiny speaker hole exactly in front of your ear opening, a couple of millimetres aside will make the sound almost silent. This is if you by feel mean hear. Try to hold the phone at an angle out from you face with the upper part pointing to your ear and move the phone up and down to se if you can hear better.

Let me suggest a fix for the fingerprint issue.
Turn off the show "fingerprint on lockscreen option"
There really isn't a pocket mode for the mi9 because of the in-display fingerprint reader
About the "unlocking in your pocket" issue, I think you should try a different unlocked method, maybe a password to see if it's still there, and also ensure you don't have "On body detection" enabled in settings.
where did you buy it?

I've tried bloody everything under the sun to try and get Google assistant to work from standby (a feature that I loved in my redmi note 9 Pro) does anybody else have this problem?
do you mean without turning the screen on?
that would be quite cool

Yes, i've always been able to do it, from my Redmi 5 plus to my last phone, Redmi Note 9 pro..even my GF can do it on her Mi 9.
I think it's a problem with Android 11, but can't be sure unless i get feedback from other users...I've tried all google setting (including the personalisation by ticking all boxes) tried everything in MIUI to no avail...it's a brilliant feature as i used to be able to just ask the time in bed/set an alarm etc without having to wake the screen...especially useful if you can't find your phone, just say 'ok google' and you can usually hear it!
Whenever i try it on my RN 10 pro, my RN9 Pro chirps up instead acting on behalf of it's much thicker bigger brother.

not accessible
I always thought it was for security reasons one cannot do so
maybe 'trust' can work. check with headphones after approving as trusted device

Do you mean it's not accessible on your device?
I've used my headphones in the past but that was just part of it being open normally.i.e it shouldn't matter as i don't always have my headphones connected for it to work.
As i stated it can't be for security reasons as i've had this feature on previous Xiaomi phones (and my GFs phones as well) it's just the RN 10 pro...i'm wondering if it's because of Android 11?
...It is still crippled by the forced feature of only having 10 seconds AOD! i hoped and prayed this would of been sorted by now with the infamous MIUI 12.5.
It obviously didn't matter about the other threads i posted (and asking support over on Twitter) as it seems nobody else is bothered? so it appears other users are happy to either resort to rooting their phones and using Magisk or removing MIUI optimisation via developer options just to have a working AOD?
I for one am NOT! why should i? Its dangerous and you lose certain elements. i bought the phone for this feature, they took out the notification light so the least they could do is have an AOD that's, you know...ALWAYS ON!
I'm sick of having to wake my phone all the bloody time just to see if anything has turned up or if i missed a call when i wasn't around near my phone. This is not too much to ask, but it seems everybody else is fine with it? WHY?
On topic, i don't see much change from 12 apart from the sounds being different, a slight increase in speed..oh an the volume bar is different..woo!
(notes got an update waaay before i received 12.5 so that was nothing new.)
Oh, AND STILL NO SUPER WALLPAPERS!
Colour me unimpressed.
P.s this is copied from my MI account on their forums, so not specifically aimed at XDA folks.
Totally agree with you, I've heard they do this to make the false sensation of this being a premium feature, so they push users to buy expensive phones.
For 12.5 I expect proper AOD, super wallpapers and FIXED DEEP SLEEP.. Im tired of losing 20% battery overnight
Plus 1 on the AOD 10 second issue, there's absolutely no point in AOD if it's only on for 10 seconds. I've submitted an issue with Xiaomi Services and Feedback and they came back saying it was for battery drain reasons, which is bull****! Makes more sense to add the option for always on instead of 10 seconds and let the user decide!
My 168 hours will be up this afternoon at which time I'll hopefully be unlocking my BL and flashing MiuiMix. It gives the option to have AOD always on.
I totally agree, I shouldn't have to flash a rom just to get a working AOD but I also want call recording and if MiuiMix on my Mi 9T Pro is anything to go by, it is much better than stock.
I'll see how MiuiMix goes and I might also have a play with the unofficial LineageOS release that looks promising as well.
Yeah it's pretty bad, I got a reply from the developers saying it's for battery too, seems to me it's an artificial cap for their low end devices.

Yep total bollocks on the battery drain issue. If anything i waste more battery turning the bastard on and off every frigging 5 minutes (at full brightness) just to see if anything has turned up! An AOD (like on my GF's Mi9 is in a very low brightness state which moves every 2 minutes to prevent burn in) should be implemented on their midranges too...But it seems like it's a feature deliberately only available on their flagship products...If that's the case it's discriminatory and bang out of order.
Please guys tweet @XiaomiSupport as much as possible and get Redmi Note 10 users to do the same, also use the inbuilt feedback on your phones...i'll post a screenshot in a tick on how to do it.
Come on comrades if enough of us keep harassing and threatening to boycott they will have to take notice.
1 : Settings (scroll right to the bottom)
2 : Service and feedback (ignore FAQ)
3 : Suggestions (tick box)
4 : Enter your grievance (I did mine via my phone so due to predictive text a few mistakes, but you get the gist)
5 : Select item (home screen + settings - always on display)
6 : enter your email. (Send)
Try and highlight that is not too conserve battery as you waste more battery turning it on and off, and that their flagship phones have it... If you pre-empt their stock reply you have more chance of not being fed bull****.
Good luck lads

Near the bottom of developer options there should be an option in the Autofill section called 'reset to default values'. Apparently if you tap this a few times the switch for MIUI optimization will appear again
Yep, pretty annoying. That's why I switched to PixelExperience I did notice a battery drain though when using it.
I'm now using NotifyBuddy, an app that only turns on AOD when I have a new notification. It replaces the notification led. Works well.
