Hello,
I've been using Cm7 latest KANGs since months, they're all good but there's ALWAYS been problems in every cm7 build that makes me hate this phone when it happens.
The problem is that they happen randomly with no apparent explanation!
problem #1
almost every week it happens that the phone drain battery very fast and gets a little hot. The reason is "suspend" process running wildly in the background.
What is it and why doesn't happen always? Solution : reboot, after it drained half your battery
edit : now "mediascanner" took the place of suspend
problem #2
every 3-4 days if you never reboot the phone it gets to a point where its slow and slightly unreactive. When you surf with Opera you notice a struggle to process data like something is using the CPU, the reality is that nothing is.
The worst part about this is when the phone is in that state and you do something that involves a cpu process you hear a noise form the speakers like an interference it's very difficult to explain. If you happen to listen to music in this state everything that you do makes the music lag like if it restarted every 1/3s of a second, like when you try to playback some video from a source that has a slower reading speed than the video bitrate itself. A jerky playback.
Solution = reboot.
problem #3 every month the phone (even on silent mode) "screams". :| that's right, from the speakers you suddenly hear random "leaks" of loud and high pitch sound things for NO REASON.
"problem #4" the front facing camera is just bad it doesn't adjust to the light with auto exposure compensation. It has very bad banding and digital noise things on the image. I thought it was a driver problem in cm7 but it happens in stock too. This problem didn't happen in the first nightlies of cm7.
Are those bugs reported?
I'm currently in problem 2 and I'll just let it do its thing just to see how funny the battery graphic will look. In 6h runtime I have "suspend" using the cpu for 30minutes and going.
I tried every kernel.
i have the same problem as you with suspend i dont know what it is, but anyways my battery is not that bad after 16 hours is still 58% medium usage.
we can try asking temasek if he has a clue.
I also have problem #3
very strange, happens sometimes even when the phone is on silent, and it's been sitting on my nightstand for 7hours without me using it (plugged in)
it also happens sometimes when it's not plugged in and I'm just browsing the web
(seems to happen more often when viewing video's)
What annoys me most its problem #1 . It's just unacceptable to have something for no reason draining your battery when you phone is sleep mode, even worse when you don't when it will happen!
#1 - I rarely have this issue but it doesn't drain my battery.
#2 - I don't hve this issue
#3 - I don't hve this issue
#4 - I use LG modded camera so no such issue.

Now I have it and I can't get it to go away!! It drains battery at about 10% per hour (without touching the device). What kernel are you using?
Can you link me the camera mod?
Got another for the list!
BBC iplayer !
On both the app and the Web page it works fine through the interface, the intro to your TV program works fine, then you get into the program and the picture is just pixelated rainbow mush! Lol!
Weirdly if you minimize the program and then resize the image it's fine!
What's that all about?
another one:
( I think its with every android version above 2.34)
if there are too many apps moved to sd card (about 50) phone works only till first reboot. once shut down and turned on again, phone keeps on rebooting. only thing that helps is putting sd in pc and delete some .asec-files from .android_secure-folder.
I had #3 before, I think it was around Temasek kang 1x.. After a dozens of flashes, I forgot it ever existed.

There's another one too which is important to save battery life: sometimes the wifi connection doesn't start until you go into the wifi settings. Meaning that if you are within the coverage you won't be connected to the wifi network until you go into wifi settings. This will drain battery because the phone won't turn off the eventual 3G active connection

I tried that but I what I meant is during video calls with skype and gtalk! It shows the correct exposure at the first second that goes into wrong mode.
BTW this phone has the worst ff camera, just bad bad bad quality
haha...the speaker scream at night....
just flash CM7 (Alien Revolution) this morning,
only some minor things found:
1. have to remove the latin.apk manually to against force close
2. can't use the original screen capture (HOME + POWER),
use the option by long press the power button for replacement
3. while playing "Let's golf 3", it got force close
clear the data of the game and it's solved.
4. 2 hrs before, the phone signal suddenly drop and disconnected...
just reboot and see whether it happen again...
Hi Temasek.. will this camera mod work with MIUI roms?

Edit: nvm, I go and tried it myself on WajkIUI.. the camera worked but the video recording hangs and then fc-ed when I pressed it the second time

I have another problem on using CM7, it's the HDMI connection. My phone doesn't displayed on 1080p mode, pic quality is awful (my LCD TV is full hd capable).
And when I played a movie and throw it to the LCD TV on landscape mode, it displayed only for couple of seconds and then blackout. My phone continued to play the movie though. This is not happening in portrait mode.
On Optimus 2x stock ROM, it is possible to select hdmi resolution. How to do that in CM7?
Thanks!

no one of the problems here!
working fine and perfect with alienRevolution 1.9.1 ! Best ROM!
Problem #1 happend to me once, i was on ETaNa Kernel 0mb (i dont know wich version) and a Temasek Kang (think it was 61)
Never happend again. Now i am on ETaNa 32mb 18th Feb. and Temasek Kang 66, everything works fine for me.
I think the battery draining issue was just a bad RIL now battery seems as it should be.
I still have problem #2 though and I can't believe I am the only one experiencing it!
I made a mistake because I was powering off the phone at night in the last month but now that I'm keeping it on at night I can say it happens after 1 day of running time.
Basically when you start using it the second day the phone becomes unresponsive, go launcher EX keeps reloading icons very often, it takes sometimes 2-3 secs to open an app after you press on it , Opera keeps getting shutting down if you check another app for 1 second, when you go back you have to wait 6-7secs for it to restart. The situatios stabilizes itself a little when you keep using it (still not that snappy like at boot) but then goes back to the same sluggishness.
Juicedefender shows in the logs that "memory is low" and for how the phone acts it does look like it but I always have 80-100MB left and even if I kill every service running the sluggishness is still there. SO what the hell is causing it? Could this "suspend" be responsible for memory leaks? Again what does this suspend do?
Here's a screenshot for today only after the overnight recharge.
And of course the phone died while I was charging screen or phone wouldn't turn at all, apparently it charged to 56% and then BSOD
Just to make sure, am I the only one where suspend uses all the cpu?
i have also tryed cm7, its nice and stable but a little bug which forced me to change the rom, go launcher always restarts and i have to force close it and whenever i put some movies and images in sd card gallery doesnt updated it and shows old files only, thats y i changed my rom.
Hi, I recently ordered an x2 pro (Global) based on its great on paper specs and the huge amount of glowing reviews on YouTube. But after I ordered I read on Realme's forums and a little on here about users experiencing multiple bugs in the newest update (c26) Including but not limited to , massive battery drain, slower charging, phone overheating, decrease in SOT by as much as 60%+, low FPS in games (especially PUBG), lag in launcher, microphone not working in calls unless you cycle speakerphone on/off etc. So that's a bummer if true. My question is kind of a poll of how many are experiencing this, or if its everyone? And if it is everyone, what is the recommended newest build until a fix comes out ? How is c24? Is it worth the minor bugs to have the newer interface, or is it just as unstable where I should just avoid Realme UI all together right now and just get the latest Color OS build ? Thanks and I look forward to everyones opinions and info.
Most of what you saw on C26 is not true ! What is true is loss of SOT primarily ! A significant portion of it ! Around 2 hours for me from 9 hours to 7 and that is really bad ! About PubG that is the game not the phone , to minimize "lag" use performance mode on game space ! Charging still is fine !
Remember most users are from India and summer is here so any phone will heat up .
What I recommend for most people that has their bootloader unlocked and has some custom recovery flashed is to go back to C24 . No battery problems and lags , is the best RealmeOS update FOR NOW !
Good luck ! You will love your new toy ?

Yeah the C24 android update is good , I can't find anywhere , but finally I found in Russian realme website , anyone wants to get this firmware , just download it from their site , the charging animation and the speed of the phone is also good .
Anyone know how to block the ota's ???
Thanks guys, going to install c24... It is prompting me to update to c26 from a10.... Anyone know how to disable ota's (temporarily) until a new update is out then I can turn it back on... If I knew what server it was checking I could block it or something. Anyone that know how to do this please let me know. Thanks in advance.
No real issues on c26 for me and I know a lot of people are happy,
No battery drain,in fact getting 10 and half hours SOT according to Accubattery,
Only charging once in the morning for 15 minutes,
Not a gamer so don't have the game lag that may just be an issue with the game such as PUBG,
No lag in launcher for me,using stock launcher with animations off,
Sound quality is actually louder and clearer for me than previous RUI updates
Only thing I did notice is occasionally hang in chrome where would just have to close chrome to get out.
C.24 I had worse issues with sound,hanging and phone restarting itself with flashing Realme logo.

Definitely,The newest update c27 is even better and as stable as colorOs,I Am in Europe but both the Indian and EU software is the same so you could get the software file from either support page and update, just download and use the file manager app to select the download file,
Easy

So the update was available for a while if you're on Global and it just released for EEA devices. I honestly thought that they'll skip it and only release the 11.0.2.0 version on EEA.
If what I'm reading is correct, it was released a while ago for China and apparently some of the Global users got it too, it it supposedly more polished and it has a few bugs patched.
Can someone who downloaded the Android 10 based MIUI 11.0.1.0 and used it for a while on their Redmi 8 report how stable and polished it is? Did you encounter any bugs? Is it safe to update now or should I wait for a patch or two?
Update:
I installed it and it seems to work fine, no bugs so far and the only "issue" I found was that the Search in Settings takes a bit more time.

This is my review
Miui 11.2.0 android 10 for redmi 8 Nigeria
Android 10 update on Redmi 8 Global Edition Nigeria : Review
Today I received the much awaited android 10 update on The Xiaomi Redmi 8 series and having awaited this update eagerly I was curious to explore the new fixes and features this update was to have .
Overview: the update named miui 11.2.0 global had a whopping 1.9gb as size on notification.
It took me approximately 13minutes to download it on MTN Nigeria 4g and installation was very smooth via the bootloader .
Restarting took a bit longer than normal for a first start bearing down almost to 1minute 23 seconds than the usual 50 seconds boot time I had due to first time start.
Unfortunately and much to my disappointment and anguish. This update came still based on Miui 11. I know, I know I am disappointed myself, I wanted miui 12 so bad.
Transition on miui 11 was normal and my entire set up was untouched , however I did notice that I had the gesture bar beneath the screen which I promptly disabled. This i hope is a sign we would get miui 12 soon.
There was no lag when I went through the phone also I did notice that a couple of xiaomi's native apps had been updated notably the browser.
The miui launcher for those using the default launcher on Android 9 now has the app drawer ability enabling have apps in a drawer than on default home mode, although I had this feature since installed a direct apk immediately I bought the phone..
Bugs:
Then to the bugs. The android 10 release is basically stable with probably bugs I haven't yet noticed but two bugs were immediately very obvious to me.
Battery drain: unlike in android 9 , my battery dropped drastically more in minutes than I ever experienced in this device dropping from 99 to 97 in 2 minutes on use than the usual 5, it did stabilize as the device settled and being used to custom ROMs I did expect it. I would update about the battery life as we progress.
Google assistant: by default I enabled Google assistant by long pressing my power button for .5 secs since I used gestures but it didn't work, I noticed the assistant apps was gone and downloaded from playstore but it still hasn't worked. I do love the assistant and hope the next update fixes the issue.
Verdict:
In a nutshell, if your a tester freak like me, downloading the latest update won't be a bad idea but don't just expect miui 12 as you will be disappointed.
You can delay the download till you have miui 12 avaliable which I believe won't be long enough, best guess October .
Funny side : was it me or did I think my device was a bit lighter after the update, I mean I picked up device and it felt like some weight was taken off, maybe it's my imagination.
Tell me what you think about your update in the comment section below and follow me back

I noticed a few bugs in addition that you wrote.
Icon bug: If you turn off MIUI opitmalization, then some icons in the homescreen will be bigger than the others. In Android 9, I never noticed this issue. You can easily fix it by turning back MIUI optimalization, and force stopping the System UI and the System launcher(they 'ill restart if you go back to the home screen, don't worry)
Spotify bug: Since the update If I turn on Equalizer in the settings of the spotify app, then the music will sounds like an errape
And the google assistant is working fine for me
The deitals of my Redmi 8: 64gb storage, 4GB ram
Chipset: Qualcomm SDM439 Snapdragon 439 (12 nm)
CPU: Octa-core (4x1.95 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.45 GHz Cortex A53)
GPU: Adreno 505
I wrote the last 3 rows because I don't know if there is a Mediatek/Mali version of this phone
Europan rom (Locked bootloader)
Yeah, I also noticed a few bugs that bothered me enough to downgrade back to Android 9 for now, and while I was at it I installed MIUIMIX to hopefully get a bit more battery and a bit less spyware
Hi, I have problems with my phone. When im watching for example netflix and when I swipe down to get notification center or settings center my phone keeps flickering or pixelating the screen. It happens on all frequencies, 60Hz or 120Hz. It happens on FHD mode and WQHD mode. With old control center and new. Ive tryed everything to default and to the edited mode for example WQHD 60Hz and that stuff. Still same, and I have that reboot problem when im on 4G.
Has anyone experienced something like this and what to do about it?
No.
Have you got a custom ROM?

That was a bug I experienced awhile back in a beta or weekly that was fixed with the newer MIUI 13 weekly or stable ( I used MMX but I had also the same issues on EU ) I had the exact same issues with Netflix and the pixelated screen when pulling down the notification bar. The only bug now, which is specifically I think to streaming service like Netflix app, Disney+, is that background blur doesn't work when pulling down the notification shade but it's a bug I have seen only on those two apps( I tried hulu and YouTube, NBC sports and they work fine). I agree tried all my other video streaming apps and services and Netflix is the only one that gives me that Issues. At least is not pixelated anymore.

Ive solved it also, doesnt happend anymore. So far im only stuck with problem about restarthing phone by itself when im on cellurlar connection, it happends randomly and Im waiting MIUI 13 to see is it hardware or software issue (im doubting on cold weldings to be the problem)
been using this device for the last 4 months haven't encountered any restarts yet thankfully
Hello, I'd like to asked if you guys also experience this:
Whenever I try to maxed out the volume and play something whether its a video or music, the phone just reboots right after. Though I wouldn't say it is only limited to maxing out the volume I also experience some reboots whenever I try to call and I feel like it reboots when I overwork the phone by opening "heavy" apps. Overheating??
Idk what happened but before I noticed those kind of stuff to happen in my Redmi 9. I just previously fixed it from bootloop w/o recovery & w/o fastboot due to downgrading from MIUI 13.0.5 CN ROM to MIUI 11.0.4 GLOBAL ROM.
So I was wondering whether it was a software issue or hardware issue in this case the battery. Idk if someone had ever tried this but I've watched a similar problem got fixed in youtube w/ Redmi Note 9 instead
with soldering or reheating the fuse within the battery.
Known fix: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fix-nokia-8-restart-problem.4458427/
Haven't tried it yet tho, but will update if it actually works on my device.
