Hey there everyone, I got my Mi5 a couple of weeks ago. I flashed Slim7, but right now I use the latest Lineage OS as my daily driver.
Although, user experience has been great I faced a bug in both ROM which I believe is firmware related, but I don't really have a solution. I am not sure if it happened in stock, but in both custom ROMs that I used, sometimes the capacitive keys (back and recents) would stop working. This happened every 5 minutes or so and it only gets fixed if I lock and unlock the device or if I navigate to somewhere else, hence the reason I believe this is software related.
I did a bit of digging around and some people who were also affected by this concluded that might have to do with certain panels being incompatible the kernel, since Xiaomi uses both LGD and JDI panels for the Mi5.
Has anybody managed to solve this issue? A workaround would to enable on screen navigation but I would prefer not to.
Cheers!
Wonder why is this not yet raised while all devices I have tested has the same critical issues of unreliable Fingerprint sensor and VoLTE as below:
1. Fingerprint sensor randomly stops responding for several seconds when an app or phone needs to authenticate. Sensor itself is working as other gesture controls work fine. However the authentication API sleeps for several seconds to a minute or till the device is put on sleep and woken up
2. Dual VoLTE and Dual 4G cripples while giving false ringing on Airtel and loosing VoLTE symbol and connectivity on Jio. While other phones randomly loose signals, V40 does this false ringing on Airtel while there is no incoming or outgoing call connectivity without giving any error
Both these issues affect all 3 devices tested and factory reset, etc. Doesn't help either. Phone was never rooted or custom firmware installed (as I don't find any useful here)
Appreciate if someone can suggest a possible fix as I love the phone and except for this and random lockup due to choked RAM (0.5GB or less physical RAM available most of the times while also consuming all the 2.8GB swap file)
Both these issues are observed on the latest Android 9 upgrade for India (released on August 1st). I can confirm that Fingerprint sensor never caused any issues before this upgrade on any device. Have tested on several devices and have replicated these issues on 3 of them simultaneously
I'm having the same issue with my fingerprint sensor. It's annoying, to say the least, especially when I'm trying to unlock my phone in a hurry. I have my device for 3 months now, and it only started happening two weeks ago. I haven't received any updates since December, so it can't be a new update that caused this.
I've also done a hardware test, and it shows the fingerprint sensor is working as it should. [emoji2370]

Thing is android will have worst performance and than what operating system it came with when released other than software issues. This is the reason why people will try and want to downgrade their operating system back to how it came with.
I am also facing Volte issue with airtel, I don't find any solution yet, So i have disabled Volte for my airtel connection. I have noticed this volte issue is only happening from last year October, Before it used to work..
I have also noticed fingerprint sensor issue and it is very random.
Ive had the finger print reader issue, but noticed it had to do with my cover I use.I have a complete shell type case,and over time it collects residue around the edges of the case around the sensor.Removing the phone from the case,and the sensor works fine,sometimes I may have to clean the sensor with a damp cloth.
With my slim fit case,I never have the issue.
I've noticed something a bit odd regarding the fingerprint sensor. After I make or receive a WhatsApp call, my fingerprint sensor usually stops working for a bit. I haven't really had issues for the past week or two, until I received a WhatsApp call. Immediately after the call, my fingerprint sensor didn't work, so I unlocked my device with face unlock. After that, it worked perfectly fine again. And a few weeks ago, I made quite a few calls on WhatsApp, which is when I had constant issues with my fingerprint sensor. I even reset my fingerprint authorization app, and cleared my fingerprints from the device, to help sort it out.
I know it might be a long shot, but is it possible that there's a bug that causes this, either from WhatsApp or on the LG firmware itself?
If anyone has more knowledge about this, your input would be highly appreciated!

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my Galaxy Note 9. I just recently updated to the latest firmware which is N960FXXS5DTE2 Security
Patch 1 May 2020 and noticed that when my phone is locked, the fingerprint sensor is acting on its own. Then I get a message saying there have been 5 or more attempts to unlock the device. I tried a factory reset, still the same and also tried the sensor test which gave a PASS to all the tests.
Is it a software glitch? Anyone has this problem also?
IDK if this will help but try turning off Battery Optimization for the Samsung Biometric app. (Forgot exact app name, its something like that). I was having an issue with mine and doing this fixed it but can't guarantee it will work for you.
already disabled most of the optimizations but the fingerprint scanner acts on its own constantly. You have another suggestion?
The NFC of my Redmi Note 10 PRO no longer works after having flashed the PIXEL EXPERIENCE rom (I have done the procedure again, but the NFC still does not work) the same thing happens to me when I have Arrow OS installed, it appears where the NFC icon was grayed out and could not be enabled.
Any solution?
I've been trying for three days to get NFC to work, but it still doesn't work.
It is not ideal to go back to the garbage that is the customization layer of MIUI
I have the same problem
If a custom rom give problems with sensors, camera's etc. mostly the hardware is changed by Xiaomi and that custom rom missed the drivers for it.
Best chance is to use one of the recent new rom developements, but no guarantees.
Do you see NFC repair/reset options? It's most likely due to drivers though in some cases kernels can affect as well.
Hi. I have this specific problem on Pixel Experience and other GSIs where the Fingerprint sensor is very weird?
What it's doing is basically showing try other angle (iirc) but it only works in very specific angles (which isn't really reliable)
Any help?
And also weird crashes happening from time to time.
