EDIT: I will include fixes / solutions whenever i find them for problems we face in DX
DX is an awesome device, spec and style wise. But over the few days i had used my DX i have found some rather annoying problems. This is the list. Please read and check each event and report if you also have the same problem with same apps also. And its not a problem with the app, just the DX doesnt play nice with them. Atleast thats what i think as i have used them in other devices and are problem free.
1. Viber + Poweramp: We all like viber chatting and may at the same time listen to music on Poweramp. But if you maximize and minimize the keypad in viber, there is a sound lag and a pop crack sound always. The only solution is to disable your profile to silent or vibration. Note: Stock player does not create any sound hiccups. I havent tested any other player either.
SOLUTION: PowerAmp > Settings > Audio Focus > Untick "Short Audio Focus Change"
** After un-ticking there were no sound hiccups when i repeated the scenario as explained in 1
2. Poweramp: no need for an introduction as no one i know uses the stock htc music player. Suppose you are listening to a song and your device is in standby mode (screen off) and the song changes to the next song, the volume of the next song suddenly reduces to a low level. But the volume knob is same as where you set it. The solution is to close poweramp and start that song. This doesn't happen much, but it does happen.
3. Status bar drop down: While you are browsing a site like 9gag, you may stop to read the meme. During that time the HTC browser or HTC Sense decides to drop down the status bar automatically. This happens like every 10-20 seconds. The status bar just drops down instead of staying hidden. It does go hidden again within a second, but is rather annoying. The status bar should not show up unless i touch or drag the page down.
Please share your experiences if you have similar or any other problem.
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+

Ok, I did that in "special access" settings and it seems to be working though taking it back to auto seems to work also.
Thanks

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

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!
Any one tried downgrading to Nougat?
Tried official update.zip. Downgrade FAILS!

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 just installed it about 2 hours ago, and I've noticed many new details that Xiaomi didn't mention. This will include most of the new, missing, broken things etc.
The 'new' changelog :
- New scrolling mechanism; it is now an ios clone, and I LOVE IT. It is super smooth! However, it only applies to system apps.
- Faster fingerprint unlock; it is noticeably faster. I'm still not sure if the bugs regarding the fingerprint reader is fixed though.
- The sleep/screen timeout option is now present; previously missing on MIUI 10 :/
- Blur app previews in multitasking; you can now select the apps you want to be blurred in the multitasking section.
- You can now view the battery % next to the icon; previously fixed to in the icon.
- Updated camera app; decreased delay when switching between lenses, stickers and filters in the 'short video' section. Processing is probably better.
- You now have the option to disable quick shortcuts on fingerprint reader
- Updated android boot logo
- Gesture stutters are completely gone!
- Notifications now stay permanently in the status bar!
The things that are missing/broken
- Still no voLTE option
- Audio is still 96kbps
- AI button settings keeps crashing
- Screen randomly turns on multiple times when charging (your mileage may vary)
Do let me know in the comments on what I'm missing

In eu rom 9.10.31 nothing of these.
I have a voLTE working, maybe you mobile provider is blocking this options. There a thread here on XDA about how to force unlock them.
Audio where? just checked in recorder, it's up to 192kbps.
AI button settings, works fine.
About screen on charging, may be i just haven't noticed

Well, this is an official OTA from Xiaomi themselves, eu is always better than the stock MIUI.
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.
