October update broke the smart cover function? - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi.
I was so happy that i for once had a phone where everything just worked.
That was untill the october patch. About 1059 Mb.
Now my magnetic smart cover doesent wake up or shut down the screen anymore.
By the way im totally stock.
Anybody else experienced this?
Thanks

Hey, guys, my LeEco 1S died completely and I am thinking to buy this Mi A1.
Would you recommend it from XDA point of view? I am into flashing and modding but plan to after voiding the warranty(after a year).
Please let me know. Also, I didn't know this device supports magnetic covers like Samsung S-series. A Flipkart link would be helpful, I'll add to my cart to buy when I have funds.
Thanks.

I tested the hall sensor and it's working fine but no go with a cover

You need a magnet mate the dial *#*#6484#*#* and choose hall sensor then run the magnet all over the front of the phone untill it senses it

Same here!
The flip (Nillkin) was ok before and during the upgrade, with factory settings. I was happy for 1-2 hours only....

After November update problem solved.

Good news is that the 1 Dec firmware update resolve the smart cover issue.

Done!
However no change, still not working.
I will ask my friend to do the same and then check with his phone.
I don´t understand what´s wrong, it worked on his phone earlier so i don´t think is rom related.

Try it in the stock rom and see if it works?
Or maybe you have a bad magnet sensor.

Try if any magnet pops up the sview screen?
Plus sensors under *#0*# might help too.

Yeah..the sview cover has a magnet in it that makes the screen appear.
So if you have any magnet around..try it by hand..and see if it pops?
Rest even Im not sure whats blocking the sensors..might be the hardware

Check to see if glove mode is ON. That can cause Z2 to behave like that.

Actually most z2 devices have this bug when you are putting them on a flat surface..a hardware bug.

Flat surface? Seriously? This is a disappointment! Mine did it not only in surface but always and everywhwre
Also guys has anyone else has the power button and the volume buttons more pressed inside than normal but working like normal
Some other xperias i saw have their power button more out than mine! And when u press it it makes a clicking sound mine doesnt make that clicking sound
Is it normal?
My screen works that way too..I can use the screen by hovering only I think it's like this because you can use it with different odjects like a pencil, the headphone's jack, etc..

Are you using a screen protector. As using a tempered glass screen protector would solve 80-95% of the problem, as it increases the distance between the actual screen the touch surface. thus, making it less sensitive and smooth.

It's not a hardware issue, it's a software issue.

You need to change the values of the touchscreen controller file. Do you have root?

Phone switches off when i recieve a call

Hello guys,
Need a help.
I am facing a weird issue that sometimes when I get a call, the phone switches off within the first 1-2 secs abruptly and doesn't power on again, this has occurred many a times and I have no idea why the problem exists so I went ahead to reset the phone to factory settings but with no luck as after 1 day it gave me the same issue.
Would be of great help if someone provides me a solution to this.
Regards,
Suvojit
No idea..have never faced this kind of issues

I have the same problem after 500mb update

That's maybe because proximity sensor might be sensing the wrong distance.....are you using anything to cover your screen or have something between the speaker and the front camera?
I am also facing the same problem from evening.

No bro I dot think that it would be an issue with the proximity sensor as it is not only when my phone is in my pocket but otherwise also its getting switched off like that.

Yes I am using tempered glass screen protector. But in the initial 1 month I didn't any issue even if having the screen protector.

It is very, very, very likely that the screen protector is the issue.

Proximity Sensor issue ... I think

Hey guys,
My Oneplus 5 is working fine without issues but when I make a phone call and have the phone up to my face on almost every call the speaker phone ends up going on by itself. I think this is because the screen is turning on even though the phone is up to my face which would probably be the proximity sensor. It might be worth noting that i use the phone on my left ear as I am a lefty. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

No I'm not using anything but a cheap gel back protector.
I have the same problem. But I thought the screen was turning on because of double tap to wake .
Same issue here, I even started a thread about it weeks ago. Seems like there must be a dodgy batch of sensors.
I'm going to send mine back under warranty once I can get my 6o back from my daughter so I have a backup phone.

I have the same issue. I used *#808# to check whether the Proximity sensor is working as it should. And it does. For me it more looks like a software issue

Fingerprint sensor stopped working

Had the screen replaced on my MiA1 recently.
Initially when I got it back the fingerprint sensor worked, but seemingly not as well as it had. I put it down to the hot weather. Now, 3days later it's not working at all
Could this be related to the screen repair? (Assuming yes), if so, is it a fix I can do myself out do I need to try argue it out with the shop?
