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.

I just got my note and coming from the atrix with a notification light, I'm pretty let down this doesn't have one.
Does anyone know of an app or mod that can perhaps light up the soft keys instead? I know you can for the nexus S

you can use the NoLED app from the market but beware that you need to test and configure it to best liking, cause even though it might look like the screen is off is not, it puts dots in the screen as notification, so for the time being before you decide to flash a custom rom, give it a try, I used it for a bit but noticed that if I had a notification on for a long time it killed my battery significantly.

This. I would get emails in the middle of the night, triggered the NoLED icon and keep my screen on all night. I would go to bed with 90+% and it would drain to about 30% in a few hours. Thank god it had the schedule function so you can disable it when you don't plan on caring about a notification.
Missed Message Flasher, which works for a dozen or two apps and general notifications. For Calendar notifications only I've switched over to Calendar Snooze because it gives more options for vibration, plus adds many options to snooze that the stock Calendar doesn't. I still use MMF for text and some other notifications.
Thanks to all the quick replies. I might try MMF, but will probably just end up rooting/flashing. I cant help myself lol. This note needs ICS...badly
NoLED has worked fine for me for well over a year now. I think the propblem people are encountering is not that their screen is on, it's that their phone is not able to enter deep sleep mode. The technology behind the screen is what allows this app to work without zapping the battery within an hour. Also most people charge at night so this is not an issue. Also noLED has a widget that makes turning the feature on and off a simple task. My phone lasted over 24 hours with no charging and had the noLED notification on at night so there may be more at work for those having issues with it, as I said I only saw it prevented deep sleep but did not trigger "screen on" time in stats as only a few pixels were actually on. I do only use the dots, not the big icons.
Unfortunatly, noLED would be your best bet at this time, IMO. BLN support is sketchy at best. Just make sure you have noLED setup so that it won't keep the screen on for hours on end and your fine. I tried to get BLN support working for the longest time, it was flakey at best on some roms, and all out didn't work with ohters that claimed to have support for it. And with ICS coming out today ( or so they say, look in the dev section for the posts ), BLN support won't exist anyway for a bit

BLN control seems to work best for me. Bought the pro version so I could have even more control over the keys
Hello guys, Mate 9 user since it launched but just got a M10P last week. Unrooted BLA-L29 8.0.0.141(C636patch01)
I have a few issues and I think it'll be better to put them together here.
1. I feel power saving is more aggressive. Sometimes my WhatsApp only update messages when I open the app. I've set it to manual allowed autostart, also run in background still it does that. Also in network under mobile I've ensured everything is ok.
The above problem also applies to Twitter, yahoo and others.
2. The Mate 9 has an average sound and unfortunately the 10 pro is worse. So I got two apps; volume booster GOODEV (which improved sound level) & Trumedia (which improved sound quality; bass and treble). Unfortunately, they keep going off and I'll have to reopen them. Also at reboots or if I close all open apps.
Is there a way to get them stick and work permanently?
Or is there a very good volume app that doesn't require root?.
3. I use navbar app an also roundscreen corners. Unfortunately, the roundscreen corners app overrides the overlay of navbar app. Is there a way to get them work together?
Thanks guys.
For Notification & Sync of whatsapp & other application do check ignore Battery optimizations & Launch in battery Settings.It will work for sure.

I have heard of this issue but never experienced it. I recommend leaving whatsapp on Auto in battery settings
I think the Mate 10 has great Sound. Note, that on the highest Volume Level there is a boost. It becomes notably louder but bass is goin away... for best experience use the second loudest. I dont thin you can have those apps running all the time... my mate 10 pro sometimes even kills google maps navigation while driving. I really wonder why they put 6gb ram in this phone lol
I only use the XDA navbar and it keeps working... I dont really think you can have both. Personally, proper corners are one reason why i bought the mate...hated rounded corners on my s8+

Thanks a lot, I'll try it. Once saw it, like an iPhone x navigation I think.
You should try adding your Google maps to excepted apps for battery optimization in "special access" settings.
If you're looking to increase volume or have presets then I would recommend equalizer pro. No root required and I'm using perfectly with Spotify.
Other than that I understand you can install the audio fx APK package from lineage but it doesn't work in basic speaker mode.
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

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.

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.
Since getting my Pixel 6 I've noticed that notifications, in every way are absolutely horrible on this phone. So far I'm chalking it up to Android 12 (which I hate the interface of BTW, I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix this mess that Google gave us). From low notification volume (even if the volume is turned up) to not receiving notifications, to the notifications not synching to my Fitbit (which I had 0 issues with on my ROM'ed OP6) I seem to have a lot of issues with this Pixel 6. It is not rooted, just some standard apps installed, including aodNotify.
Also, does anyone else have the issue of when you swipe up and hold to go to the recent apps, it just shows you a zoomed out home screen and you can't swipe right to see recent apps? So no way to switch between apps or close them...very annoying.
Anyone else having issues with not receiving notifications or texts at all? I just had my girlfriend tell me she sent me a message, but I never go it at all. It would have been a basic SMS from her iPhone, and we're both on Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) in a major city in the US with 5G.
Notification work fine.
I would first look at aolNotify which clearly effects the notification system and is in beta testing.

I just uninstalled it, let's see if that helps, good call. I was just thinking if it's an aodNotify issue surely other people would be talking about it :\
I guess I'm just having a ton of different issues since being on this phone, that I'm eagerly awaiting TWRP and ROMs to come out.
Any news on TWRP? I had pretty much written it off, but I guess they are still working on getting A11 support. I think they had a working version for the Pixel 3a series that was released (beta testing) in the last month or two. I never bothered to try it because A12 was right around the corner.

I have this issue happen occasionally, both before and after installing aodNotify app. I'm using the buttons though, not gestures. Very weird.

Same here using the navbar but it only happens every once in a while, no idea why.
I find notifications to be very low indeed and some of them (like email) are delayed. Not sure if we should blame this horrible A12 (yes I also absolutely HATE it) or the device

No news as of yet, that I know of. But now that there's a working root and the firmware and kernel is released, I would imagine it is being worked on, or at least I hope it is. Just as custom ROMs, as I am hoping to run Lineage or CalyxOS once available.

Good to know it's less common using navigation buttons. I just switched back from gesture (I was trying to get used to it and adopt the new way of life lol, but guess not - back to the same old buttons it is!) and I have already noticed that the recent app menu has been working much better.

Yes, notifications have also been delayed at times as well I've noticed. I doubt it's the device, as hardware is hardware, and apps open/close quick and smoothly, browsing the web is no issue, as is scrolling on apps like Instagram in my experience. Though with this being the only phone (P6/P6P) with A12 so far, I guess time will tell if it's a device issue or Android issue. I still feel like it's a P6 ROM issue, and hopefully ROMs will come soon to resolve issues like this.
Just as an update, since uninstalling aodNotify and switching to navigation buttons instead of gestures my notifications have been better and my recents list showing has been more reliable. It's still a bit laggy when loading recent apps, but at least it's working more often now
One weird thing I've noticed with the notifications is when I swipe down on the status bar and tap the triangle to expand the notification, the window stays small but I can scroll the entire notification within it. I'll try to get a screenshot the next time it happens.
That's not normal and not what I am experiencing. A reboot doesn't clear it up? If not. it may be that you'll need to do a factory reset just to clear out whatever the issue is.
Ugh, I hope I don't need a factory reset. I had enough trouble getting my eSIM setup on Fi already. I haven't experienced the notification issue again, so fingers crossed, wood knocked, etc.
The recent FunTouch OS 12 has a lot of features missing. It feels like IQOO has rolled up the updates in a hurry.
1. No Android 12 Clock widget.
2. No Quick Panel tiles like Android 12.
3. Dark mode not getting applied on App Drawer.
4. Etc etc
Bloody hell, when will we get Origin OS for Indian market.
This device has so much potential if they just unlock the bootloader for installating custom roms
Disabled animations in Developer menu doesn't get applied either
Also, home screen is not coming from many widgets like the one we get by swipimg right from left edge
This seems like an Alpha version without much testing and stitching with animations quite annoying like dark mode not applying to app drawer
This is almost the the first few versions when we bought the device during launch. Only after one June or July upgrade things became like a release version. Established that IQOO OS team for IQOO 7 releases updates without proper testing and going through beta testing as such issues were never encountered in IQOO 3 with IQOO OS which people for some reason criticize
Witnessing huge flashes of brightness fluctuations at night even when automatic brightness is turned off.
Still can't find a way to switch off Accessibility button

Same here. Gets blindingly bright in the middle of the night. My phone also keeps crashing atleast 3 times a day. Waiting for a fix update.

Yup, same here as well. Plus sometimes when I enable battery saver the brightness also increases even if auto brightness is turned off and manual bright is set to lowest possible value.
I still have similar issues on my Vivo X80 Pro and many familiar features like the new Control Center are still missing! What shoud that? OriginOS would be so much better, why do you have to develop such a bad operating system internationally. I don't get it and I'm actually very, very excited about the X80 Pro but the software totally ruins the experience!
