Please provide photos of those "pink lines", what are you doing when the phone reboots?
Does it reboot also when It uses the built in GPS?
This looks like a hardware fault problem. You could try doing a factory reset, or try flashing the stock ROM agaiin using Mi Flash.
If you have warranty, send the phone as soon as possible.
Flashing the miui rom can help me.
I don't have warranty.
I don't know what's the reason behind all this.
I'm suffering from random reboot too... Try latest stable miui rom 8.1.1.0 and still have that problem

It's not exactly pink lines. It's like the display gets scrabbled for a while and phone reboots automatically. I've experienced that in MIUI couple of times. That's what made me to come to custom ROMs. Well now I don't experience that. Try it could help you too.

Dear XDA-Community,
I have a really strange problem with my ZUK Z1 touchscreen, but only with ROMs with a build date after the 22th of Dezember 2016.
First I thought it's because I didn't wipe my phone fully before flashing the ROMs, but yesterday I tried it after wiping my phone completely.
But didn't work neither.
So after flashing the ROM and rebooting my phone, I "couldn't" control my phone, but then I realized that the touch reply was just in the "wrong place" like I touched in bottom and the output was in the middle of the screen.
I didn't have this problem before, and i researched all over the internet, if it's problem with the ROM but it doesn't seem so. Like I'm the only one with such an issue.
I hope anyone could help me.
Best regards

My understanding is that, something messed in upstream lineage OS, which effected couple of updates of NucleaRom and initial testing builds of Mokee. With the help of Radioactive kernel developers, thankfully Mokee managed to debug it.
Does screen issue happens in lower version of Android too? Like MM & L? if so I'm not sure this is going to help.

Zenfone Max Pro M1 4 GB.
Have update the phone to .309 update yesterday and since then the heaters are not working.
Only double tap to sleep is working.
Called Asus and Flipkart, they asked to check in Safe Mode, wipe out white cache, do factory reset.
All these done still no luck and gestures issue still remains.
Can any senior member help on this topic.
Am a Zenfone 2 user and never faced this issue with ZF2 in last 3 years and it's still running like a charm.
Please help.
Works for me. I tried C for camera and it works. And double tap to wake and sleep works too.

guys install any 9.0 ROM and get out of it! it worked for me.
My issue was started when I moved from 9.0 to 8.1, so however, every time when I used a higher ROM it fine but its impossible to come down.
but someone has reported that it didn't work for him, but I think you should try it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/how-to/guide-revert-custom-rom-to-stock-rom-t3808248/post77920970#post77920970

I feel so bad about you to mate, I'm so terrified when I was #$%@ed up with the same issue and most of the developers or users has little understanding about every device, and we tend to do with our own knowledge but 90% we fail and there is none to help.
In my case, I found a guy who can do it for me, it's very expensive to return back to normal and I did, since then I don't do this experimental **** anymore, I better advice same to you.
In my very personal experience, I did not enjoy the Rooting power of wisdom than running into lots of problems. So I quit and bought One Plus 6 and will never root again.
I have reached my limits. So I hope you will find a good solution outside the XDA and stop the madness of root and use a good VPN like TOR and move on.
Good luck and I'm very sorry that I, not able to help you out.

Maybe you just went faster than what you could comprehend, didn't research enough, hyper excited to try new things etc..
Yes, it's okay that you were frustrated and you won't do this again.
But, it's clearly stated that what we do here has it's ups and downs!
You just failed to understand the cost to benefit ratio for you.
Also what was prognosis for your problem that was so costly?!
Probably you should have used an older device to get your hands dirty and learn & tinker a bit!
Nothing can be done here for a hardware issue.
Though there are extremely talented and brilliant developers and some users too who gladly help and guide here.
Though in all fairness it's your opinion after going through bad experiences so I feel for you mate & on the flipside I do respect it.
Peace.

I Know the solution
1)flash fastboot stock 247 rom
2)flash twrp 3.2.2
3)install any of your favourite oreo rom
4)see mic will work now
5)reboot to recovery and select backup
Backup all the partitions
6) reboot to system and save both twrp 3.2.3 and twrp 3.2.2
.
7)If u want to use pie roms first install twrp3. 2.3. img and then flash your rom (mic works)
8)If u again want to come back to oreo roms just flash that twrp 3.2.2 reboot to recovery again
and restore that whole backup we created in step 5
9)Now Mic will work even after downgrade g from 9.0 to 8.1
Press thanks if it saved your Device and your time. ?????????????

My calls stopped working pretty much overnight, I'm still not sure what caused it. I couldn't hear the caller and they couldn't hear me. I wonder how exactly this fix works?
Edit: I just realized that Dolby Plus also disables SElinux. Is there no way around it?
I already have 3.2.3 installed, it's still not working. I'm running OxygenOS port

Hello Dear Genius People,
Help me up please, Device -Redmi k20 (8+256) rom : miui global stable 12.0.9.0 , suddenly one day the problem started with the front cam wasn't working, next day that audio and mic went missing and the device was restarting itself. Then I did a factory reset but it didn't help. Then I thought maybe going back to china stable rom will help so, I flashed china stable 12.1.2.0 fastboot rom, now the restarting issue solved but the audio/mic/camera/headphone and many other feature issue was still there. Then I tried more recovery rom using orange fox recovery (miui china stable 11.0.2.0, miui weekly 12.5, pixel experience 11, miui global stable 11.0.4, xiaomi.eu rom 12.1.2.0, also 12.0.8) nothing helped me out. I cleared data, system, vendor cache and dalvik every time before flashing. I even took it to shop but they were also unable to detect the actual problem and therefore couldn't solve it.
I don't have a single penny to buy another phone right now. PLEAAAAASEEEE HEEEEEELPPP ME OUT from this headache I am facing more than 10 days. PLEASE!!!
