So, i made this thread so we can discuss about bugs or even solving them, this applies only for 4.4 only
NOTE: SOME APPS MIGHT CRASH WHILE USING ART BYTECODE, DONT WORRY IT'S NOT A BUG (ART STILL A BETA FEATURE)
here's the strangest bug i have found:
Strangest bug
NO, seriously, these are some of the bugs i have found:
1- You can open as many times as you want the 4.4 easter egg, it depends on how fast you tap. i managed to open it 3 times at the same time.
2- screen recording just works in portrait (not external apps, the native screen recording) using the PC ADB or the Nexus 7 multi tool, it also does not support our resolution.
3- Wi-Fi optimization might disconnect the internet
4- Wi-Fi randomly disconnects (atleast for me)
5- Adobe flash totally uncompatible in KitKat independently of the Browser
6- 3rd Party Battery monitors seem not to work
7- Galley or G.Photos app miss Crop function
8- Album not visible in lockscreen when playing a song from Play Music (size bug)

Can this be considered a bug? Chrome and Next browser icons overlaping google search bar.

Battery monitor apps are broken due to interface changes
Flash is broken in browsers that used to support it (Puffin doesn't count - it's a server-side implementation).

Perhaps not bugs as you're looking for - any 3rd party battery monitor, wakelock monitor, etc no longer work because Google change the interface to the necessary services. Flash worked under 4.3 in browsers such as Dolphin but no longer does Google changed the underlying engine.
Bluetooth 4.4 bug
All in all, bluetooth has gotten dramatically better, with keyboards/mice etc. One exception is the BT audio is at full volume and not controllable via n7 2013 only on my UE Boombox. The newest OTA does not fix. Other BT speakers are controlled normally, and this is a nuisance.

From BetterBatteryStats dev on Google store:
* BetterBatteryStats does currently not work with KitKat. Google has made some changes breaking the access to the stats BBS (and other tools) are using. We are working hard on finding a solution but the fix isn't trivial. Please be patient*
Doesn't work for me, GSAM Battery Monitor closes immediately ...

There is no crop function when adding a wallpaper from Photos or Gallery anymore. This makes it impossible to center a wallpaper.
Lock screen sometimes doesn't show album art from Play Music, despite Play Music itself displaying it without issue.

ART is a OS update that is fundamentally different at it's base... It's an OPTION, Dalvik is still there for us to use. How is it the onus of Android to provide compatibility for every single app in the Play Store? The fact that quite a few apps DO work with ART just points to the fact that some devs have not kept up with code changes introduced by Google.
Problem with wifi.
Wifi doesn't reconnect after turn display on after deepsleep.
Only a restart helps.
I have flash manually for 2 times

ART still isn't ready for prime time, Google knows this, that's why it's hidden under developer options

ART is not a feature of KitKat.
It is a beta implementation included for developers to test it. (therefore hidden in the developer options)
If you enable it you have to live with the instability.
And no you haven't payed anything for the update.

I have wondered about this, too. In fact, it seems to me that Samsung's always on display (AOD) feature is quite severely limited, to the point that I question it has value that exceeds its cost in battery life.
I like my S7 Edge device very much, but I also own a Droid Turbo 2 (basically the same device as the Motorola Moto X Force), and having become accustomed to the exceptionally useful features of its version of an AOD (called Moto Display), I can scarcely believe Samsung's engineers weren't embarrassed to release their flagship's analogous feature, having surely seen their competitor's version.
On the Motorola device, the Moto Display screen only comes on when you look at it or it detects activity in front of the screen.
Unlike Samsung's implementation, Moto Display reacts fully to touch, allowing the following interactions:
* initiate a screen unlock
* view icons of apps that have unseen notifications
* touch an icon to see a preview of the app's notifications
* drag an icon to a notification to initiate an interaction with the notification
It may not seem clear how this works, so here is an example of a frequent use case for me:
We frequently binge-watch various Netflix series on TV via a Chromecast, using my phone as the Netflix controller. When credits roll on an episode, I reach for the device and the Moto Display comes on. One of the icons will be a black and white version of the Netflix icon. I touch the icon, and a Netflix play-control appears at the top of the screen. I drag the Netflix icon to the forward-arrow ("next episode") on the Netflix control. The next episode instantly queues and begins to play on the TV. I move my hand away from the phone and its screen returns to the off state.
This whole process takes about 3 seconds, and is accomplished in a single smooth motion from start to finish. The first time I did it, I instantly appreciated how well thought out this particular user interface design was.
Another way in which the Moto feature excels is that third party app support is pretty much indistinguishable from first party apps, unlike Samsung, where some of the AOD and Edge features are limited to Samsung and affiliate apps.
I really hope Samsung doesn't rest on their laurels here, and continues to improve the Touchwiz AOD experience. They have a long way to go to match their competitor's similar feature, in my opinion.

You guys are expecting to interact with a feature that was solely meant to show the time and notifications... If you want to change music, turn the damn devices on.

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for a more robust implementation at some point. If people go online and post about what they like and don't like, hopefully it is helpful for manufacturers and developers to gauge the demand for things they may be working on or thinking about developing in the future.
And I'm not at all sure I share your opinion about what Samsung intends as the ultimate boundaries and limitations of their always on display feature. Maybe they just ran out of time and had to settle for something less than they would eventually like to offer.

It's a very logical idea to use ways on for this (with the option to disable it)
Suprised it's not implemented.
Any news?
It could be very useful to change music while driving.
Or is there maybe something like the OPO swiping gestures?
A long press on volume buttons with screen locked to skip or back tracks would help a lot, there's one xposed module to do this but I don't want to root..

I tried a xposed module and it doesnt worked with spotify, only with the music player.
Also the default musicplayer shows up when playing a song and waking up the phone, not like spotify where u directly see the lockscreen. Is there at least a way to make this possible for spotify?

Try XTouchwiz or Physical Button Music Control.
The first should work in theory if you freeze stock music app, and the second used to allow (it's been a couple months since I used it) to select which app would the "next/prev" action be directed to.

I know it's not the best nor ideal, but since I'm stock I'm currently using Samsung Music player and the latest update offered a new feature when not fully unlocking the device but just waking it up shows a full screen cover art with tags and the option to either Skip tracks and Play/pause, not much but better than unlocking the phone whilst driving lol.

With root and xposed u can use a module called xposed additions and use the capacitive buttons for next/previous Song on the lockscreen, thats the best solution for the car i found

When i was at the Samsung Note 7 Launch in NYC ? they told me the Note 7 international version had this and other cool things but the USA version could not because of infringement reasons. I wonder if anyone figured out how to put it in the USA version and the S7E.
note 7 has that option with samsung music, along with a much usefull AOD so i guess we will eventually get it as well once nougat arrives.
You can control any music player from AOD

My friend discovered this option.
you need to double tap.
this video posted by him shows the way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUpIitwYzlc
Please like the video if you find it helpful:angel:
^^^ You are on Nougat though. Many people aren't, and without Nougat and the updated AOD, you can't control the music player from the AOD screen. It is actually a Grace UI AOD thing, but Grace UI is not on the S7E unless you have Nougat of course. My N7 has Grace UI and it has the much better AOD options you just showed.
Using the device almost a year and never heard of it before. I wonder what else I haven't explored yet

Anyone using Android Auto with the Oreo ROM? Wondering if there are any issues or if Waze and Dialer will work properly now?
Rebranded to L29-C432 so might as well give a few more things a try, but the fRomFuture ROM I'm using is pretty stable so want to check before I jump to another...

I'm currently using it, the dialer issue is still there (I am using the modded Google dialer from Martin.077 to solve that problem).
Waze behaves the same for me as before - works fine for about a month, sometimes longer, and then one day just black screens and then the only fix is to re-install Android Auto.
I now also have a new problem with Google Play Music with the Oreo update - it does not output any sound when connected via Android Auto. Navigation prompts still work though.
The fix is to use an equalizer app - no idea why it works, but it does, I'm using Equalizer FX.
So yeah, no issues solved, and one additional one added in my case.
After introducting the new features in screen cast function in miui10 beta, the screen cast function seems to be broken (Attached screenshot, stays at that screen). It is not able to find Smart TV on same network.
But apps like youtube, google photos are able to find my TV on network and cast to it.
Anyone else facing the same problem ?
Any solutions and suggestions are welcome..

Went through a few posts on mi forum, seems it's a issue with miracast.
P.s. i switched to custom rom and will stay till this is fixed...
any update on screencasting fix?
Im rooted but prefer to stick with stock rom (my apps cast too but no screencasting...wouldnt have bought another new xiaomi given theres no hardwire video out solution had I known I couldn't cast wirelessly.
thanks!!
Solution found on Poco F1 with MIUI 11.0.5.0 Global Stable
Hey,
I found a solution for the problem.
The new Cast-function also doesn't find my Chromecast.
But the old function is still there. Phone is NOT rooted.
I managed to place a shortcut on homescreen with Nova Launcher. With Nova you can place a shortcut that starts almost any Android-activity by your choice.
1. Use Nova, tap longly on homescreen, then choose Widgets and there Nova activities
2. Then you scroll to Settings, tap on it, scroll either to Wifi-Display (Settings$Miracast Settings Activity) or Streaming (Settings$WifiDisplaySettingsActivity) and choose one of them
3. Restart your phone
If you don't want to use Nova check for other apps that can choose Android activities and place them on the Homescreen.
Questions welcome.
I am also experiencing the same issue with my Xiaomi Mi9 on MIUI Global 11.0.2
thanks for the shortcut tip but that is NOT my problem. there is no probel finding my chromecast or clicking connect. connect responds but goes back to the selection scrreen which is precisely the same problem all owners of recent xiaomi phone users of stock Mi ron are experiencing. Xiaomi needs to fix this no one else can. my earlier xiaomi devices pre- Android pie have no casting issues. xiaomi wanted to be samsung ... maybe they've arrived judging from the fact that they too are fine with updates crippling phone functionality.

The difference is, that I get the former functionality, and I can cast my screen directly without any third party app and absolutely stable, as it was on MIUI 10.
So, maybe give it a trial.
Hello ,
came here to confirm screen cast does not work on mi9se also after miui 11 update.
Toggle comes off after you set it to on, and it never searches for any devices. I mean not even a search dialog pops up.

hi! same problem here. I found out after trying a few things that the problem is caused by My TV wired connection. when I connect My TV through the same wifi network as My phone, the Screencast of Miui 11 works just fine( Even better than in Miui 10 i'd Say) and i don't need any other app.
what do You think? could it be any other solution?

It seems to be, that some devices work and some not. My Chromecast is connected to the same WiFi network as my phone. But it doesn't work with the new functionality. It's quite weird, that I find my neighbors TV, that's NOT connected to my network (at least I hope so :cyclops
So far I think, it's a question of streaming technology. As long as your device supports Miracast, it works fine. If the device uses another technology as for example Google Cast, it doesn't work.

I follow this steps and made it work, at least in my case:
1) I connect my tv through wifi instead of using the wired connection.
2)I tryed the cast option of miui 11 and it found my tv at once.
3) Once again a i connect my tv using the wired connection.
4)I tryed the cast opcion of miui but this time, instead of letting it search for the tv, i select the tv from de recent device list and it worke just fine.

I could not get it to work and looks like in all MIUI roms it's crippled. There is a Bluetooth unlock in lockscreen menu but it's only available with whitelisted Xiaomi gear it seams. Kinda confirmed on other MIUI forums basically they replaced it with their version and only for their devices. The prompt shows only the first time you pair a new device and you can add it but it does nothing and no way to get back in. I tried to trigger all activities from google service framework but could not get back in, only with new BT device will and i ran out of devices to try. No location trigger works

QFJEUXM 11.0.5
What else to set up or how to make it working?

It doesn't work on MIUI... AFAIK there is no fix.

Unfortunately, true. I was surprised when
@Tizio.Qualunque claimed a 'solution'?!
I've seen many threads for Mi 9T and other Xiaomi phones but never seen anybody claiming that he/she set it up to to really unlock without a pin (or how to do it).
Btw, before I installed this Smart Lock app as he suggested, I got pop-ups by Google Smart lock several time, asking me if I want to set up my (home) location for smart (un)locking (now, during Corona I'm almost all the time at home and unlock the phone by pin tens of time during the day, because unfortunately FOD is very unreliable). So I always confirmed that I want, but still it never worked for unlocking
I can only hope that Xiaomi maybe fix it for MIUI 12, but frankly I don't believe.
BIG MINUS for MIUI and Xiaomi phones

Yes. A huge minus.
Use face unlock. Use Mi band or some kind of Mi watch (bluetooth unlock is limited to only one device... ). It's stuipid - I know. But this is only think you may do if you want your phone to be unloceked when you are near.
Eventually you may try Tasker.
I've been dealing with this since miui 6.
As others have said, MIUI has removed all access to smart lock. The only reason you get the notification is because it's served by Google Play services. They can't touch it.
Even if you access the menu by root, it still won't work because MIUI uses its own lock screen, not the stock lockscreen.
They keep kneecapping the Android features, and later introduce them as "new". The only people who actually like MIUI are people who've never used stock Android
More examples from my experience in MIUI 6 :
1. They didn't have face unlock or bluetooth unlock. But Android had it since the previous 2 versions. They added it in the next MIUI as a flagship feature. And it's still bad. It unlocked for my brother's face.
2. Split screen. One generation late.
3. Picture in picture mode. Dunno if it's available even now

As a user come from nexus and Xperia (like pure android with sony exclusive options) devices, miui only have eye catching ui and lots of bloat ware!
User experience (UX) is so bad. You can't find some options easy (for old and pro android user since 2010, i search in settings menu to find some features! How new android user can use miui i don't know!!!)
select widget so hard, no app drawer, lots of bugs, lags (frame drop) anywhere. MIUI good for peoples come from iOS to android. (Animation, Animation, Animation. Not smooth ux, not easy to use ROM)
I bye Xiaomi phone for good hardware and great price.
Don't forget we are in android. For any feature we can find a nice third-party app.
I flash Pixel Experience Plus...
If google not make ugly pixel, and sport it with high end hardware and good price (Nexus Phone!?) , i never bye any mi or galaxy phone! OnePlus can be an option for professional android user too, but not find easy in my country.

For the matter of fact, App Drawer is supported (since MIUI 11?), see screenshots
But lacking Smart Lock: On body detection, Trusted places and the fact that Smart detection does not work for general Bluetooth devices (but only maybe for Xiaomi gadgets) is a big issue

Yes, support with alpha system launcher. Not official, you must side load alpha app!
Miui 12 support official apps drawer...

NOT really
I'm using QFJEUXM 11.0.6 (previously 11.0.5 and 11.0.3 I think), I never used any Alpha system launcher or whatever
Ok, I cecked now to my System apps updater History, you can see that MIUI System Launcher got updated 4+ months ago to support App Drawer

Not fixed in MIUI 12 / Android 10.
Makes it impossible to do hands-free calling in the car., since you can't make calls anymore with the screen locked.
Only ways I can see around it is:
1. Keep your phone unlocked,
2. Have face unlock set and place your phone where it can "see you" at all times.
3. Get a cheap Mi band or some other MI product, add it as a trusted device, and keep it charged in your car.
This is utter nonsense from Xiaomi.
With MIUI 12, Android 10 and by using Root Smart Lock app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rachel030219.smartlocklauncher
I can setup my trusted place and it remembers, but still it doesn't keep the phone unlocked at my home (I must use the fingerprint or pin)
I was thinking if some permissions are missing
I tried it on MI11 with MIUI 12.5 and with the app mentioned, but still not working :-(
