Screen rotation lock doesn't work on MI A1 - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

After I rotate the phone and then toggle OFF the rotation button , the screen automatically rotate back to normal position, instead of remaining locked in horizontal position, and yes- I keep the phone physically rotated on its side the entire time
The phone is rooted with magisk, if it matters
What could cause this problem? I already tried to reset and disable developer options, which btw, would it make an issue booting the device if OEM unlocking won't be ON ?
-to make it clear - the screen rotation functions well when rotation mode is on, I just can't keep it in horizontal position
Thanks in advance

That's not a common error.
On both mine and my GF's A1 that setting works.
EDIT:
I just can't keep it in horizontal position

That's correct: You can't 'lock' screen to horisontal position!
Both untouched Android 8.0.0 April patch.

I thought this was normal behaviour for stock android? I understood only certain manufacturers allowed rotation lock in their ROM's like LG?
FYI: My stock A1 on April 8.0 returns to Portrait when rotation is turned off.

That's not an error. It's just how Android is designed to be.

On other android phones it's not the case, you can lock it on Samsung S8(oreo), Samsung S1 (stock) and on S1 with CM mod
Perhaps it was possible with the MI A1 before some of the latest updates too,I'm don't really remember, anyway, Xiaomi should return this function because it's useful and already exists in older and newer android phones WITH stock versions

Fingerprint Sensor issue

Loving my Zuk, or was. I set up the screen lock for fingerprint sensor and it was working great. Recognises my thumb first time every time. Now though I can unlock with just a normal swipe. It doesn't even demand the backup pin number. I went back into settings and it still had the fingerprint setup as the screen lock so I removed it and set it up again and hey presto i was back in action but only for about 10 minutes and it went back to no security at all.
There were 4 small OTA updates today so I am guessing one of these has messed it up. Each update didn't say what it was for
Has anybody else had this issue?
Is working well for me.
Have you added other smartlock event (wifi, location, ecc) that can interfere with the lockscreen and disable it?

My MOTO 360 is in smartlock as a trusted device, don't fully understand what smartlock is to be honest. If I remove it would it affect anything?

Of course!
I have also a smartwatch (LG Urbane) and the watch as a trusted device. When the smartwatch is connected to the phone the lockscreen is always DEACTIVE, even if you have configured a lock screen (PIN, pattern and or fingerprint)
Power off your watch (or set if in airplane mode) to check if lockscreen turns on in the phone

I have just removed my 360 as a trusted device and the screen lock now works perfectly and so I now understand how this works. Many thanks for the advice. I can now stop worrying that I have a faulty device!

I am facing as well to a lockscreen and fingerprint issue.
I used fingerprint to open lockscreen and pattern as secondary. After showing the ZUK to somebody I needed to modify the pattern. From that time I am unable to switch back to fingerprint. Only three opportunities what I have, and no swipe or fingerprint, due to "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage". What accessibility service messes up the fingerprint usage? Do you guys have an idea? All of them are swiched off.

My problem is solved. I needed to delete credentials in security settings.
Hi. I'm having some problems with the fingerprint sensor. Is working intermitent or not. I've asked zuk support already but no answer yet. I don't know if it's a software issue or hardware. It's any way to calibrate the sensor? Maybe it's decalibrated? Any help will be usefull. Thank you.
LE I already made a factory reset. No improvement.

I'm using the Zuk since a month, and no problems with the fingerprint at all.
In any occasions, the fingerprint sensor don't detects the finger the first time but at second try.
Since a few days, I'm on CyanogenMod (instead of Cyanogen OS) and I think the sensor is less responsive (sometimes I need to try three times or use the lock pattern).
But if you are with issues using CyanogenOS I think is due to a hardware issue.

Fingerprint actions has been removed by CM a few OTA updates ago.
I hope a kernel developer will add soon, but ZUK has not too much developers
Modded kernel for COS can be found in the other topic about this issue.
The OnePlus 2 sources happen to have a compatible finger print driver with capacitive button support which is currently being checked out for porting to the Chroma kernel.
So don't fret.. The feature can be restored.
iam not able to use my fingerprint lock, it was working well before but now suddenly it is not showing the option in CHOSE LOCK SCREEN- the SWIPE an d FINGER PRINT OPTION IS DISABLED.
how to enable it
Thanks ... I had the same issue & delete credentials in security settings.
I bought zuk z1 3days ago
Why We cannot use fingerprint sensor to lock and unlock the device for both purposes
Having an issue with the fingerprint sensor.....
Works fine but when push notifications(any notifications**) show up on the lock screen ..the sensor gets non responsive...mind u almost impossible to unlock
Have no choice other than security pin
And I Definitely think this is result of All IN ONE Issue
Say like.....1)fingerprint sensor integrated into hone Button, 2)Faulty software patching, 3) Me, adding two or more fingerprints
Any Suggestions from u guys Feels helpful
BTW....Bought the product via Amazon.in
Is there a provision in the ZUK Z1 which let's you interact with the device by simply tapping on the fingerprint sensor except on the lock screen?
If the device is locked and the screen is off too, simply placing my hand on the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. I always have to press on the button to wake the screen first.
Any help?
May sb tell me the modell of the finger print reader of the ZUK Z1? Pls. use AIDA64.

That's part the of custom roms. Fingerprint as home button can be activated by flashing something, you need root. But in the play store you can try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep
But it's not that what you need. Without root and a kernel where its implemented its not possible.
Hey my fingerprint was working fine till one day it just started vibrating when I tried to scan it. I tried deleting the saved fingerprints and registered new. I'm not even Able to register new fingerprints. What do I do?

Moto G5 Plus Accelerometer / Gyro issue

Hi,
My few months old Moto G5 Plus phone has developed strange behaviour today, if Auto Rotate is set to ON then the phone when launching all applications which support landscape mode will rotate everything to this mode even when the phone is held upright.
I can fix it by turning Auto Rotate OFF. Does this indicate a fault with the hardware? I tried a couple of reboots but it seems not to fix it. I'd rather not factory reset the phone if possible.
I installed a program called "bubble level" from the app store and my phone shows the position all hard over to the right hand side. Moving the phone does not appear to change anything. In the app its self I can calibrate it and its all fine, it re-centres and works fine in that application. The problem is this doesn't fix it for the phone, just for that one application. I then still have all applications in landscape as the phone thinks its tilted over, when it isn't
Also tried safe mode as advised, same issue persists yet of course I can not launch bubble level.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Go to device help app, Fix, hardware test, and test the gravity sensor. See if the hardware is functional.

I don't see to have such an option on the Moto G5 Plus. As I say I have used "bubble level" app and is shows as the screenshot everything over to the right.
If I use the "set" function in that app, it works, it centres and the accelerometer works great, but ONLY in that app, so I am not sure what the issue is, the hardware seems to work, but default has a massive offset. I don't see a way to remove this massive offset.

You don't have the 'Device help' app in your phone? What version of g5plus you have, which region? It would be strange not to have it.
Sent from my Motorola Moto G (5) Plus using XDA Labs
Ahh ok, yes I do have this App, it for some reason is "not visible" but will come up as a search.
I will check it out. Thanks
Ok, so the only one which seems relevant is "gravity sensor" but these tests don't seem to tell me a great deal, yes the stuff axis move around with the gravity sensor but no idea if its working correctly. X and Z figures seem too high when its on a flat surface to me. But the letter of the test says "do they move?", yes they do. I think I know the sensor is working, its just not "centred" so it has it appears to have a massive offset by default.
This massive offset by default appeared like 2 days ago, as per the attached screenshot in the OP.
Thanks for trying anyway.

This is what it should look like in a flat surface. And the values should change based on the orientation of the phone. If it's not you should probably contact customer support.

Yeh, thanks for that, my top line was way out (full like your bottom line), its as though the accelerometer had a massive offset in that axis set somehow and I cannot reset it. If I was to use bubble level it would work fine but only in that application.
On advice of the Moto people I did a factory reset at the weekend (which I didn't really want to do) but it is working again. Very, very bizarre. I have put all my apps back on and its all normal. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it short of doing a Factory reset.
It now looks similar to yours although my top two lines are pretty much identical in the middle and the bottom line full.
Thanks for the help.

Fingerprint unlock issue after Oreo update

Hi everybody,
Is anybody experiencing any issue with fingerprint unlock from lock screen after updating to Oreo (especially on SM-N935F/DS variant)?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
nope no problem at all. in fact its better than in nougat. faster and more response.

Thanks for your reply. Let me clarify better my situation. If I, from screen turned off, press home button, the figerprint is immediatly recognized and the device is unlocked while, if I first press power button and go to lock screen, the fingerprint is not recognized. Did you factory rest your device before installing the Oreo update?
I dont have any of that. both situation the fingerprint work fine. I did not factory reset my device.

It seems that the Fingertouch app that I was using to convert home button in a capacitive button is conflincting with Oreo. It used to work flawlesly with nougat (and marshmallow on S7) but now it appears it's preventing the fingerprint sensor from working properly. Is anybody experiencing someting similar?
I experienced that as if mu device become more slower than android 7.0 and life of battery increased. I THINK how was yours?

That is correct, leave the fingertouch for the time being. Switch to EasyHome, I have to warn you this app a bit lack responsive in comparison but more unlocking friendly.
I had exactly the same problem after upgrading to Oreo on my S7. I had to uninstall and re-install Fingertouch, and then it works again.

Moto G5 plus: Navbar not accepting touch, even woth one nav button feature.

Hi,
I've a moto g5 plus which is not accepting any touch to the navbar area. Even when I enable the one nav button feature, the navbar keys hide but I cannot touch or register response to that. I don't think it's a hardware issue but if it is, how should I check it?! I'm currently using fluid navbar guesture app to navigate.?
The problem appeared suddenly when I was on Android 7.0, I thought ota will fix this problem. So I updated device to 8.1. But problem did not solved. So I tried hard reset, but no luck. If somebody know what exactly the problem is, I'd be glad. The device is not rooted nor the bootloader is unlocked.
How do I install stock oreo rom? I think this should fix it but I'm not sure.
Please help.
If you have your warranty you should get the device checked, that sounds hardware unless you rooted (you didn't) and touched something
What was the last thing you remember doing before this trouble started?
Does the screen touch works at the bottom? Does the navbar register the touch but it doesn't do anything? Can you see your lockscreen?

Hi M1810, thanks for replying.
I've been told it's hardware issue by service centre but they not even touched my phone, that's another story perhaps. I don't think it's a hardware issue as I'm doubtful about how only the navbar portion of my screen became unresponsive only and not other part of screen?!!!
Last thing I remember doing is switching between one nav guesture feature toggling on and back. But it was working fine then for some time. It just suddenly stopped working. (This is the reason I think this is a software issue. With the moto nav bar feature.)
I've enabled the show touches from developer option. The taps not even getting registered on the bottom portion. Other than that, there is no problem. I can see lock screen but cannot touch the bottom three icons, the camera and google mic thing.

Update MIUI 12. Terrible screen flickering/blinking when unlocking using fingerprint

has anyone ever noticed that the phone screen flickers awfully when unlocked with a fingerprint? the screen can flash a moment after unlocking and artifacts are created in menu animations. everything takes literally half a second.
the problem only occurs on all Xiaomi.EU MIUI 12 beta versions and on the stable version. I didn't check the global version, but I think it will be the same.
it wouldn't bother me much if it didn't create terrible graphic artifacts sometimes.
Indian version doesnt have this problem
Same thing here on miui 12 betas. I was sacred that i damaged my phone in work.

Yep, Noticed this on Xiaomi.eu 12.0.3.0 Stable. The main thing I noticed when I installed the update.
The previous ones were smooth. The blurring is also not good on the latest, the blur goes away real quick when exiting notif bar making the transition look like you set animation to 0 on devs settings. But the exact opposite on the Control Panel. Closing it, you'll see the delay in the blur. Can see icons still blurred before it goes away. Too delayed that it is noticeable. Setting .5x on animation and transition fixes it but that awful unlocking animation flicker become more noticeable when doing so.
I hope next update will be better.

Same 12.0.3.0 build? Noticed the issue on 12.0.3.0. I believe indian Stable is still on 12.0.1.0. On that build we did't have the issue as well.
It is interesting that the problem only occurs when we use the fingerprint on the screen. using the fingerprint on the screen off, does not create artifacts and flickering. all beta versions had this problem, I thought stable version would eliminate this problem.
he does not always occur. and sometimes it is strong that it looks like a phone breaks down.
I wonder what is causing this error. maybe a fingerprint mechanic?

Did xioami add the DC dimming option for Mi9T in Miui 12? Can anyone tell?
@projjalkhisa You can activate it easily with Activity Launcher -> Settings (the second option) -> Anti-Flicker
On Global stabile MIUI 12 it's fixed. I have EEA model, and every miui 12 custom rom have this bug (xiaomi.eu) (beta relases from china model)
