Brightness glitch on A3 2016

I have noticed strange yellowish green when auto brightness on...Did anyone noticed it?

Not yet, can you make a photo or video?

I believe that it has got something to to do with the Adaptive Display instead. Try switching to other modes and see if the problem still persists (fixes that for me).

ATT: New Update Available (12/4/17)

It is November 1 security patch. It is a 157.75MB download. The update brings us to version N950USQS2BQK2.

Just got it about 20 minutes ago.
Here is the current update details:
Android 7.1.1 Nougat
The details
Release date: December 4, 2017
Android version: 7.1.1
Security patch level (SPL): November 1, 2017
Baseband version: N950USQS2BQK2
Kernel version: 4.4.21-12461033
Build number: NMF26X.N950USQS2BQK2
Build fingerprint: 7.1.1/NMF26X/N950USQS2BQK2
Previous versions required: N950USQU2BQJA
File size: 157MB
The updates
What's changing: Android device security updates, including BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)

Just got my alert for it too. But I have learned, the hard way, to wait for others to go first.

Just make sure you uninstall any Substratum themes before you take the update.
Also ALWAYS have a good reliable connection. Bad service is the number one way an OTA gets botched up. It fragments the download and can cause all sorts of wonky stuff.
Just did the download myself. Installed fine. No issues.
Camera has a new live focus helper... Seems a bit useless, but I guess if people were having big issues with it then it might be helpful.

Also just for anyone who is interested

I updated about an hour ago without issue, but I had that camera feature before today. It appeared after I did a factory reset about two weeks ago.

Anyone know if this had the KRACK fix in it? Verizon's got this in their update along with the Nov Sec update and Live Focus update, just last week .

I've had a issue with the gallery since the update before this one. When scrolling through it randomly jumps back up or is almost unresponsive to my touches. The only way to scroll smoothly is by using the blue scroll button on the side. It's incredibly frustrating! I've done a factory reset and and it still occurs, even after this update.
It only occurs in the gallery app btw

In the settings menu of the Gallery app, are the first two settings turned on? I think this happened on mine a while back (although I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly) and I turned off the Samsung cloud sync and image analysis and it stopped. If this doesn't work, I must be thinking of something else. Sorry.
Edit: I have all the options in settings turned off and my gallery seems ti be working smoothly.

Faceunlock still broken for me with exchange EAS

No update for me yet. Anyone else still yet to receive?

From professional point of view:
When is it advisable to install anything with release number #.0.0?
First releases are close to always known to include some wrinkles that needs to be ironed out...
Personal point of view:
What a heck, it's a phone. Just go for it!

confirming no more hissing sound

What about the issues?
Bluetooth battery drain, Partial "do not disturb" tile, no fingerprint gestures, slow camera app, decreased battery life, 4G and Wifi connectivity problems, App crashes and reboots?
Also, is Pictire in Picture working? I know YouTube app requires a Red subscription and many people aren't aware of that, but are others such as Google Maps navigation etc. working with PiP?
Can someone please post their battery stats?

Please dont take only my opinion as confirmation. Since few user has reported that issue is still there.
Thanks

my device just received an oreo download package this afternoon on Januari 3rd 2018
-never used bluetooth (nor will I ever turned bluetooth or wifi ALWAYS ON)
-finger prints just fine
-camera app is also fine
-battery life.. as for the moment being, from what I gather it's not that different compared when on nougat with december patch
-4G just awesome
-no app crashes nor reboot (at the moment)
so if you're in doubt, then don't download the oreo update.. waiting for a later time frame, maybe
if you're confident, then do it

if

Go for it. There is bug in oreo that it show worng battery consumption. Its random behaviour on different phone. In some mobile Bluetooth draining battery in some RCS and in some other. Actually it is bug in battery statistics not in power consumption. Overall battery life increased in oreo ...
I easily get 6:30+ SOT :good:
No more force close issue for me. The gesture is removed by Google in AOSP so we never get it in OREO. Camera is still slowwww. No 4G or wifi connectivity issue.. And PIP is working in modded youtube perfectly and in vlc ( I don't try other app).
Overall worthy to upgrade..
Srry for bad English and writing

ok, I have installed Oreo and I am satisfied, I have not had any serious problems yet, it feels fluid and better than expected that everything I have read. Thanks for the opinions of all, hopefully new patches solve the problems.!!

Everything is fine. But my phone randomly rebooted once. Not sure why. It was like a soft reboot. It was quick. Other than that, Outlook app crushes. Not sure it's the problem of the rom or the app itself.
Battery life is amazing as before.

I would wait.
There are serious bugs and rendering issues and lots of app compatibility problems. Also slower 4g and ghost notification.
In hindsight I would have waited but curiosity got the better of me!
This is not a stable release.

It looks like many of "issues" reported are happening to users who forced the Oreo update by clearing Google Framework data.

Any idea when will the Oreo update be re released?

Running Oreo since weeks. No issues here . I did a factory reset after upgrading to Oreo. . Since weeks its runs fine... Very happy with Oreo

I use Quickpic for wallpaper so no issue.
-when open camera the brightness will turn to max
That seems to be default behavior and not a bug.
-scrolling sometimes quite weird
Scrolling seems to be smooth. I have changed animation to .5X.
-multitouch bugs
Do not have this issue.
-typing will feel alittle bit delay or lag sometimes..?
Yes, this seems to be the issue.
-geature like double tap to wake and swipe to wake is not working(require to off the geature and on agn then working)
Yes, I can confirm this bug.
-recovery mode is missing in action...
Can you elobrate this? I have TWRP and that works fine.
-charging quite little slow..
My phone take 3 hours to charge fully from 10%. Seems to be same as previous version. Try restarting the phone before putting it for charging, it may help.

Q) wallpaper does not working once u want to change ur wallpaper
A) For me, changing wallpapers works like a charm. I haven't tried live wallpapers.
Q) when open camera the brightness will turn to max
A) This is the norm for a lot of apps. One prominent example is Open Camera.
Q) scrolling sometimes quite weird
A) No problem here.
Q) multitouch bugs
A) I have this issue. When playing games like Batman (tell tale), PUBG, etc. the touch does not respond correctly.
Q) typing will feel alittle bit delay or lag sometimes..?
A) No issues here.
Q) geature like double tap to wake and swipe to wake is not working (require to off the geature and on agn then working)
A) Confirmed.
Q) recovery mode is missing in action...
A) If you're talking about the switch off menu, I can't confirm this. I have never had the reboot to recovery option.
Q) charging quite little slow..
A) Seems okay to me. 2.5-3 hours from 5-100% battery.
Another bug that I have encountered is that some apps do not work on WiFi connection. The ones I can confirm are Twitter, PhonePe and Amazon Music. They work just fine on mobile data.

live wallpaper doesnt work since .305 update still not fixed in .309 update

I also am having multi touch issue. The screen flickers when I use both fingers to play PUBG Mobile. When will it be fixed ? Any method to fix it without root or harming future OTA updates ?

I have this issue too and I think this is considered a serious problem that Asus need to fix ASAP. A phone with multi-touch issue is really unusable especially when playing games which this phone is catered for. Is there an official Asus site that we file our complain?

LOL, not a single soul in there.

July update

New update
141.9 Mb

anyone tried it yet? any bugs or improvements??

No bugs.... Completed the update successfully just now..

Screen Rotation animation bug, nothing more

Successfully updated, no drastic changes or improvements at all. Overall experience & speed is pretty much the same as the previous update which means phone is pretty snappy.
There's just a little bug with screen rotation animation when rotating from horizontal to vertical which makes the bottom half of display to go black when doing so, but the rotation works normal.
Sadly there's no sign of camera2API or ARCore again! I'm gonna be pretty honest with you that I'm exhausted asking Xiaomi on their Twitter for those features. But maybe we can get a shot with a huge disappointing phone called " Xiaomi Mi A3" which many consider to be a downgrade. We'll see how that works.

The update wiped my google contacts of around 200. Thought it was a sync problem so I turned it off and on again,nothing happens. Deleted my google account and login again,same result. Then did a restore from google and guess what, restored just about 50 only. Checked my other device and the contacts weren't in sync for about a month,got around 200 contacts. After I sync from the old device,the number of contacts goes down to around 50. Had to save those contacts from individual chats on WhatsApp slowly. Guess this only happened to me. There's a rotation problem as the others had stated but no biggie.

Updated it successfully. Removed the sim card before restarting after installing the update (just to be safe, as pointed out in other blogs).
Can confirm that the screen rotation bug is there. The bottom half becomes black during rotation from horizontal to vertical, not at all bothering though.

Call logs bugs
i lost my called numbers after update
thank god that i have backup via G cloud

Anyone facing GPS issues? GPS not locking on correct position after June updated.. hoped July update would fix it..but nothing happened.

I've recently completed the update, the rotation lag is new... The emmc bus is still there, the phone crashes after moving a file (large size) crashes the UI and restarts the phone... Again the new bug is that I can't place conference calls, the UI hangs whole merging two calls and have to restart the phone.
After each update we're getting new and new bugs.

I know this is a long shot but can anyone with the July update check Widevine certification ? Is it still L3 or (hopefully) L1 ?

L3 unlocked BL
