Hey everyone,
This will be a Thread for collecting all the kinds of bugs and other issues you might have encountered.
I talked to the german FB group and talked about them sending them a collection of bugs etc from the community. They gave me an email address (from the communication team) where i can send it to once everything is done.
They will then proceed to send the information to the people developing for axon 7 (A2017G in this case). Of course it's not guaranteed that they will definitely fix all the issues. But it's worth a shot imo.
So at first it's important that bugs have the most importance in this thread since those have to be fixed in order to get an enjoyable oreo experience.
BUT you can also post any features you want to have back (examples are daydream, screen color calibration)
To get things finally started, here are the issues that i gathered so far from this thread:
-SD card mounting issues (SD card doesn't stay mounted after reboot)
-Increased battery drain (mixed opinion, some say it's worse, some say it's the same as nougat)
-Preinstalled apps which are uninstallable (like Accuweather, WPS Office) reinstall themselves after reboot
-Events set in Google calendar don't show a notification
-Bluetooth audio developer options (LDAC, 32bit, 96khz, etc) do not stick
-screencast not working on some miracast devices
-Panorama has lower vertical resolution (approximately 1900px while Nougat had 2800px)
-Charging sound file is missing (now it uses error sound file when connecting/disconnecting USB which sounds really annoying)
Missing Features that you wish to come back or added:
-Screen Color Calibration
-Daydream (which might come back since how they worded it to be temporarily disabled)
-Camera2 api not yet fully implemented
-Vulkan API (was present in Nougat, now removed in Oreo for unknown reason)
-Screen lock app (shortcut in quick settings to lock the device)
-Option to remove Carrier name in status bar
-Dark Mode option (preferably true black background for the while UI like quicksettings menu, settings menu etc for max SOT.)
-More sorting options for stock music player (by title number etc instead of by alphabetical order)
-ZTE Toolbox app
I'm sure there is more. But this is what i have found so far as of now. If there is any more issues you encountered, please post them so i can add them to the list.
Also if i missed any additional info for the issues above, please feel free to tell me.
- Dark mode option
- further dimming option (lowest brightness still too bright)
- screen off toggle/widget
1. Screen cast still won't work well, I never get it connected to miracast since nougat and they didnt fix it on oreo, all my other devices work so good with the same miracast.
2. Battery drain faster than nougat or I think this even worse than oreo beta build B01.
Feature:
- The alphabetical order on music folder for stock music is still annoying. No one hopes listening music from A to Z based on title.

I don't know if it's just me, but I have a bug where the download manager won't download anything for a long time despite having stable internet connection. This affects Play Store app downloads and downloads other than Chrome (since Chrome has its own download manager it seems). Basically, if I want to quickly download an app or update them, the initialisation starts but it keeps waiting for stuff to download. It won't abort with an error, it just sticks to the spinning circle. In the notification bar you won't see the download arrow animation, which should be there actually. But if I lay down my phone for a while and then pick it up, it may start downloading normally. It's very annoying, you can imagine m

I know what you mean. But it's not a bug from oreo. I had this too on nougat. Sometimes it still happens. But not as often as it used to be. Dunno what fixes it sadly, but thats probably an issue of play services messing up something since the axon 7 isn't alone. Many other devices have this problem as well sometimes. It comes and goes randomly.
And as you said, chrome and other apps with their own download manager don't seem to have these issues. Again, it's probably play services doing something wrong. Not sure tho, just a guess as play services had many problems in their history

What do you mean with dark mode? Like amoled substratum themes? Or like night light?
Poor wifi and 4g reception. This has been my main problem with this rom.

Quick settings, status bar and system settings are all unbearably white. Due to Google's safety measures you can't even use a third party filter anymore.
On Nougat you could change the quick settings to gray at least and use a third party filter for all the rest. On Oreo, no chance at all. What a bad user experience!
So why even bother with a system update, if it doesn't let you adjust the display brightness to your liking anymore?! And I haven't even mentioned the usefulness of an all white UI on an AMOLED screen (Battery!?).
Panorama has lower vertical resolution.
Nougat approx 2800px
Oreo approx 1900px
Signal issues
Hd calls work with incoming but call does not connect for outgoing
Band switching issue band keeps switching thats the main reason for battery drain on 4g
My network is Jio 4g in India
It works in band 3 5 and 40
3 and 5 bands work together but they wont work well with 40 that is they keep switching from one to other with internet connecting and disconnecting
So i switched off band 40 using network signal guru app with magisk root permissions and everything works fine except slow internet speed and persistent hd call issue
Can anyone make solution for band issue
If there is a possiblity to reduce the heat generated during simple tasks.
I had most of those issues: significantly worse battery life, camera freeze when using RAW capture, when I reseted the phone, everything is back to normal, maybe battery is like 5-10% worse than nougat but not sure. Can't say anything about the missing features. I want them too, but most of wanted a Stock + UI and now we complain ? vanilla Android lacks many features like it or not. Hope they release some future firmware update to fix any issues and update the security bulletin.

You had most of these because i used the same thread your post was in as well about the freezing raw capture with stock cam.
But you are the first and only one who had this happen with the camera. So far nobody else reported having the same issue.

I never ever wanted Stock Android. Stock is the least customizable iteration of Android. So who could want this kind of user experience? People who think Google knows what's best for you? Ridiculous!

You can't downgrade with the official update.zip
Also this is the wrong thread to post this. This thread is for bugs found in oreo.
I appear to be having poor quality sound when playing audio though the main speakers. There's a hissing sound.

I disagree on both of your statements. here is why:
1. It is possible to downgrade, but not with all official update.zip that exist (I succeeded in the meantime!)
2. It is a bug in the Oreo rom that the device type is not set, preventing majority of old update.zip to run since they check the device type
I am missing the stock Nougat 'lock screen' option in the Quick options menu. I am using an app to soft lock the screen at the moment which works but am not sure at all why they removed it in first place.
I am also missing the Messaging and Phone customization options available in Nougat, including the different message bubbles types and the background change settings. It is now simply white and blue and you couldn't change it.
I have had a hard time fixing the Notification problem Oreo brought to many apps, including system, resulting in oversleeping for alarm clock app not working at all. This may not be a particular problem of ZTE directly since apparently it is an Oreo issue but I still don't understand why so many notifications have been forced to the swipe-down menu without default option to disable them. Like "this and this process running in the background" and using default notification tone for every single thing happening to the phone. Adjusting settings in Android System notification modes solved some problems but delayed or not showed at all certain notifications like SMS messages or alarm clock not working - even though these were specifically made to pop and make sound.
Battery life for me varies. It may be up to 10-12 hours if I don't do almost anything and just keep it in stand-by to 3-4-5 hours if I use the screen, some browsing and listening to music. Screen-on-Time in general is up to 2-3 hours in best case scenario. Also sometimes for no apparent reason I see the battery percentage going down like every few seconds by 1 percent and with no use of anything special, just the screen. Overall I could rate it (a little) worse than Nougat considering that I've now gone through all Power settings and disabling anything I don't need per app.
I can only congratulate ZTE for making Dolby Atmos now working on both earphones and front speakers at all times, including with custom player equalizer running at the same time as Dolby Atmos. It never worked for me and was also accompanied with various bugs on all 6, 6.1, 7 and 7.1.
The "choose what your SD card should do" on every restart is pretty bad and I strongly prefer the Nougat behavior when it simply worked. Maybe adding a Setting - "do not ask again" or an option in the System Settings where you can change the status of the SD card on the go would work better than unmounting it every time. This causes many issues with file managers, players and different other apps with files located on the SD card. I hope they re-work it.
Finally, I noticed that Ultra Power Saver works in a much worse way than it did on Nougat. It kind of goes into another OS mode upon return from which it does not start apps that are set to auto-start upon reboot. The Nougat style of simply black-and-whit-ening the screen and turning off any data was so much better and didn't return the phone in a half-functioning state when connected to the charger. Also at 15% as I adjusted it, the middle power saving function (Power Saver or so) does not seem to be at least visibly working so the battery keeps draining as fast as if it was not on.
So, in short - dark(er) Quick Menu, getting back Nougat default app customization options, fixing the SD card message upon every reboot, not forcing TouchPal to be default keyboard or in use even if another keyboard is chosen, or disabling both, and possibly working on better battery life would be all amazing. I still think ZTE did a great job with 8.0 and am happy they finally released it to us.
The phone was frozen and restarted several times.
After that, fingerprint doesn't work and I had to reconfigure fingerprint record.
I got my Poco last week with bootloader open and right away started with custom roms. I first put Pixel Experience (like i had on my RN5pro and it was great) but i find it doesn't run as well on poco.
Then i went to Nitrogen and now im on LOS16 for the past couple days getting aroun 8-9hrs SOT.
My question is was i too quick to change to custom? anything im missing from MIUI? I stayed with MIUI on RN5 for a while but got pissed because all notifications were late(if the every came at all), i used Sakis debloat tool so dint have bloatware but still felt spied on.
Anyway should i flash MIUI? Goals are long SOT, moderate gaming (hour pubg every now n then). Change my mind.
I'm actually happy with MIUI10, kept the bloat apps too, but it's obviously up to your preferences.
RAM and security management is quite aggressive.
My only real problem is notifications being really badly presented. Though I've just received my Mi Band which shows notifications and is really useful.
No harm in trying it.

you will miss faceunlock via ir camera - afaik only miui (+ miui mods like miui eu / globe ) offer support for it since its a custom manufacture introduced feature and afaik not open source.
iam currently on miui eu (honestly the only mod i tryed) + first android but i don´t really see ads or anything else thats bugs me.

Can you describe the notifications? i remember my RN5 with miui 10 even I wouldnt always get on lockscreen notifications and then if i open the phone the notifications disappear (i did everything, enable auto start, background, lock screen, everything). I would even test it with my gfs phone and it would take like 5-10 mins to get a fb notification or something. Whatsapp always worked though. I mean if theres no notifications whats the point.

I haven't actually missed many notifications at all. If you bring down the notification bar they can be viewed. One app where notifications have never worked (even when removing all restrictions) is my home security system but that's an issue with the way the app handles notifications, it does work flawlessly on my Samsung devices though so definitely an issue with MIUI.
My other issue with MIUI is that it doesn't always display the icons in the upper left of the notification bar and only shows them for a few seconds. I believe they are working on this for a future update.
Not everything shows on the lock screen unless you enable it in the settings under "other permissions". That is actually a feature I like since I've only enabled lock screen notifications with specific apps. You may need to enable the permissions or disable the restrictions with certain apps.

Here's my perspective on MIUI 10...It is buggy!!! Below 3 issues are showstoppers for me:
1. Inconsistent notifications in lock screen.
2. DND doesn't work, infact i have no idea what implementation they have for it. I could only distinguish between loud and silent.
3. App permissions keeps resetting - I will have to re-enable permissions from time to time to use them.
After 6 months of MIUI bull**** for the first time in 4 years I am going to flash a custom ROM. Better stick to custom ROM, stock sucks although its aesthetically beautiful.
I'm fine with MIUI eu beta with custom kernel. I need system audio recording because I play and record games and split screen is better than aosp. Notification is fine for me I just disable MIUI battery savings per app that important. There is no best or worst it all depends on how you use your phone.
The best u will get between performance and bettery life its on miui rom i am on 9.1.7 i got 10+ of sot and if u like aosp the best is crdroid rom will give great battery lifr also but less performance in gaming side. In my off i use my phone all day keeping youtube playlist always on and alot of browsing and playing brawl stars on the end of the day i highly recommend u to give miui a try
For all of you having problems with notifications.. I guess I found a solution. At least, it works for me.
I always complained like you. Either late notifications or no notifications at all.
All that stuff is because of the aggressive standard-settings in the battery saving settings.
You go to settings -> battery -> choose apps -> select your app, you want to get notifications -> select no restrictions.
Ofcourse, you have to set autostart for those apps and setup the notifications importance to high/urgent.
You get the same battery life i guess, so feel free to do that stuff in the battery settings.
Hit thanks if it worked for you.
Some good point here! What about the Xiaomi. Eu rom ? How dire it compare to stock performance wise?

I own a RN5 too (Xiaomi.eu ROM) and I did that and I started getting all the notifications.
eBay notifications (for example) came literally never.
After the stuff I meantioned above, everything started to work as it should.
My Pocophone arrived 1 hour ago and I'm setting it up right now and will to the same and report.
But since its MIUI 10 too (although Pie), it should work!

Will do!
I am fine with Miui 10 global beta with Franco kernel and other root stuff. My Pocophone is a work phone and I don't trust the custom ROMs yet.
I also don't debloat, otherwise it's no longer a MIUI , but I freeze user or system apps I don't use. And the suggestion by another about using Battery saving section (and autostart) to manage Doze should help in not missing notifications. I never miss notifications, but I don't use social apps, only normal calls, sms, GBWhatsApp.
MIUI is a personal taste. I've tried other ROMs on my other phones, they all are similar. Most of their features I can have using apps, and even better, while staying with MIUI global beta, which is updated constantly compared to stable.
I disable Miui optimization in developer options though, a habit of mine since the early days of MIUI
I also like EMUI by Huawei. It is so similar to MIUI on my Huawei
P.S. I don't enable notifications on lock screen, I don't want to answer some immediately. I have configured contacts that I must answer quickly to have their own notification sound.

Hey, hope everyone is doing well,
So recently got the MIUI 12.5.1 as an OTA update and I was like, why not update? I immediately regretted it, the new version has way too many bugs.
Bugs and issues that I could find:
- Dark theme somehow got EVEN worse than last version. Messenger on dark theme is utterly broken: some messages white, others dark, others just completely vanish.
- Sharing a Discord image to Discord causes an infinite loop of sharing showing "Android System" (This whole personal/work sharing looks so stupid btw)
- Pop-up applications like Twitch can sometimes completely break and the only way to close them is to restart the device (My Twitch window got stuck on Force stop button so I couldn't even force stop it)
- Soft-key navigator buttons sometimes get stuck in their animation
I'll report if I get any more issues. I really don't recommend updating your Redmi 9 Prime.
Now I am thinking about either downgrading or just totally installing a new custom ROM (I'm kinda fed up with MIUI). Do you recommend I remain patient until they push a new update, downgrade, or install a custom ROM?
Thanks for your time reading
Same here,my solution was to wipe data in recovery!!Cheers!!!

Same here mate. Tried factory reset. Fixed some of emm. Bt still no hope. Planning to downgrade my redmi 9 prime to 12.0.1 or sumtin were i was happy using it.
Bluetooth auto reconnects while playback (checked my bt earphones with other brand device, working fine once paired), app auto closes, phone hangs sometimes even when no heavy task is on background or foreground, auto skips to the next video on youtube while watching and countless other issues.
Am happy to try custom roms bt cant find any stable rom. Sugest me if there is any. Thank you.
My list of bugs in latest update :
- phone vibrate continuosly when powering on.
- auto brightness automatically sets the phone to 100% brightness when finishing calls.
- sometimes vibrate doesn't work in navigation bar.
I think Xiaomi software team won't even bother fixing all these bugs. Will all these be fixed in custom roms?
Tried factory reset. Didn't do any good. Planning to downgrade miui version.
Kimdly check anti rollbacK ban and rollback index if u r planning to downgrade ur miui versiOn.
wierd.. i don't have issues with brightness or vibrating
some issues of mine..
mobile data going off ( related to power plan change ? )
at 7 am change power plan / screen going on shows lock screen 2sec
-today however..the screen was blanco black for 5 min
--i did a forced reboot..the boot animation changed..and home navigation bar now shows : ■ Home < ( before there where 3 icons )
"random number.muigalary" files on root of sdcard there are like 200+ files
note..i use netguard and don't allow any updating on mobile data sim
I'm in 12.5.0.1 RJCEUXM.
I've face BT disconnect issue.sometimes app from app drawer vanishes & come back after sometime.Battery backup is also terrible.
For me MIUI 11.0.9.0 QJCEUXM was the perfect version.I will go back to MIUI 11 ASAP.
my unit got updated to 12.5.3 yesterday...
Let's see.. what it brings
I don't know if this happens also on redmi 9 prime, because my redmi 9 after updating to 12.5.4 wifi sometimes there is no connection so I have to turn off and turn on wifi again and I agree with your opinion that Dark theme is getting worse, I hope xiaomi soon to fix this
I was hoping that MIUI would eventually remove the 10 second limit and make always on display stay on indefinitely (which is what AOD is about anyway!)
However I'm still disappointed to see that even with MIUI13, there's still the 10 seconds as the only option for AOD.
I remember had a Magisk module for AOD (was originally build for another phone) but it stopped working with some update in 12.5.
Is there any module to enable AOD with sunny/mojito?
i didn't saw any module for that.
but if you want truly always on display on miui you can always disable "MIUI Optimization" or just use a Custom MIUI (Xiaomi.EU/MiuiMix/etc)
This is the module I was talking about
[MOD][Magisk][MIUI][v1.1]ALWAYS on display for Mi 10 Lite (monet)
Hi there! I made this Magisk module to enable more options to choose with the Always on display on monet and not only the annoying option of "10 seconds after tapping". Did it modifying the "AODSettings.smali" file inside an old AOD apk, where...
forum.xda-developers.com
I don't want to go into aggressive measures such as disabling MIUI optimization or changing ROM.
Hello, I recently bought Redmi Note 11s to upgrade from my old Blackview which is running Android 7. After turning the phone on I updated to MIUI 13.0.1 and debloated the phone using UAD. As a side note I don't think debloating is related to this at all.
Now my issue with the phone is that I don't get proper notifications, it's really easy to miss phone calls or messages because there is no blinking notification. My phone usually is in silent mode and often I just leave my phone on my desk. AOD also doesn't work as it should, what I mean by that is that it should stay on when call is missed or if there is a message that is unseen. It doesn't do that.
I can have AOD working if I disable MIUI optimizations but that is not ideal, nor I actually want my screen to always be turned on and draining battery. I did try using black background with everything disabled, so it would only show white thingy on the screen when there are notifications. Which worked alright, but battery seems to be draining quite a bit faster with MIUI optimizations disabled.
Also I don't like the idea of using third party apps to be able to get some sort of better notifications, on top of that third party apps really want to collect a lot of your data which is silly. I am not a dev or anything but I would assume such apps should only be allowed to add notifications based on information what is given by notifications service in the phone. And it shouldn't have access to individual apps that receive messages or phone calls.
As for pop up / floating window notifications, these don't seem to work at all with MIUI 13.0.1.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
How did you figure it out. I also need notifications on the lock screen, but I haven't found a workable and reliable solution yet
I had the same problem, it's strange that since there is an option to turn on the Notification Effect in the settings, it will only work once (it's some software junk)
So I installed LED Blinker Notification - and even that works, I tested NotifyBuddy but the first one suited me better.
