    Ambient Display Turning Off after some time

    Does anybody know how to get a way around this change? I am a bit old fashioned when it comes to the term "always". Although it's highly innovative to come up with a Sometimes On Display.

    9.8.8/9/10/12

    Is there a way to set the AOD to be enabled all the time, even in a dark room and the smartphone not moving? It was running all the time, some updates ago, but recently xiaomi seems to have changed this. I don't like that change.

    9.4.18

    I am still on 9.4.11, but I did have problems with battery drain (no deepsleep). Solution for me: Disable Face Unlock. After 24h I enabled Face Unlock again and it still seems to work.

    Looking into it. Will take some time considering the massive amount of information you provided. Will call you back in 6 to 8 weeks. Keep calm and use a wifi-cable untiI I find a solution.

    9.4.11/12

    Thanks a lot. I didn't know there's a new TWRP with a working nandroid restore capability. I was too lazy to try them myself and just hoped that 3.2.3-1208 keeps working with newer ROM releases

    9.4.11/12

    I flashed it using TWRP 3.2.3-1208. Kind of an old version. But If I were in your situation I would try a new TWRP version. There is not much else you could do.

    9.4.11/12

    What a shame. Years ago Miui was a reason for me to buy xiaomi. Somewhere between Android 7 and 9 they somehow got it to work worse and worse. Don't get me wrong, I can live with the hole apple copy cat stuff, but they should have stopped at the point when Tim Cook started to think he knows what...

    9.4.11/12

    I did an update from 9.3.14 to 9.4.11. My Mi 8 did not go to deep sleep after that. I couldn't find out why. After a clean flash of 9.4.11 and restoring my apps, deep sleep seems to work better than ever. Quick check: After 10 Minutes of AOD, about 8:30 Minutes deep sleep. That was yesterday...

    How to enable High Brightness Mode on Mi 8 ?

    Hi, On https://www.mi.com/global/mi8/specs/ is written: "600nit (HBM), 430nit (typ) brightness" I can't find anything about HBM. Is there anybody who can tell me how to enable it? I am sure my highest brightness is far away from 600nit because I compared it to numerous cheaper Xiaomi Devices...

    1. Delete Gpay Data. 2. Delete data/data/com.google.android.gms (needs root or TWRP) 3. Uninstall Gpay. 4. Install Gpay. 5. Hide root from Gpay and Google Play (not sure about Play, but it doesn't harm) using Magisk. 6. Hide Magisk Manager in Magisk settings. (if you not already done this) 7. Go...

    On mi.com in the mi 8 specs is written: "600nit (HBM), 430nit (typ) brightness" https://www.mi.com/global/mi8/specs/ I tried different kernels, I tried custom roms which state that they feature hbm, but there is nothing. Is it only working with the china beta? But then, why isn't it in the...

    9.2.28/9.3.1

    These Threads are full of Bug reports. Nothing wrong with that, but here is my suggestion: How about only allow bug reports on a clean flash, not an update. Or at least to always write if it is an updated system or a fresh and clean flash with format:data/system. Example: The issue with google...
