As reported previously, if you go to: Settings / Additional settings / Gesture shortcuts / Power off or reboot, you have the options there. Selecting the right-hand option (Press and hold the Power button for 3s) gives the previous power menu with the power button.

In addition to the Kustom widgets noted before, NONE of the widgets are updating at all or functioning properly. This includes, for instance, Xiaomi's own widgets, eg. steps widget, as well as weather, eg Met Office. Edit: I've just done another reboot, and they all seem to be working again.

For what it's worth, my experiences with the Nuwa update: I did the normal upgrade through recovery. It seemed to go OK, but when I did a second reboot, the scale on my custom widgets (KWGT) became about 25% larger. And as I was also having 'problems' with the power button, I thought that I...

Success . It could be that using the update app on the phone and with 'Battery saver' on, the download gets corrupted when the screen goes off - or the 'Resume' may not work properly. I shall download on the computer in the future. I am now going to have to look at my KWGT widgets because they...

I am doing that again now.

I have installed the latest TWRP recovery (3.7.1.12-v9.0). With this newer TWRP I was able to install the later OS1.0.16.... version. However, I still cannot install the OS2. I have disabled (unchecked) both the 'Zip signature verification' and 'Skip digest check before installing zip'. The...

With the last OS1 update, and now with this OS2 update am I continually getting a digest verification failure? I have therefore not been able to update to either of these.

I had already updated to the 2024.08.14, but didn't realise there was a 2024.08.16. I've updated again, and shall check it when I next shop.

Also, isn't the release of Android 15 fairly imminent - likewise HyperOS 2?

Yes - great! All works fine. Many thanks. (It's the first time that it has ever failed.)

I have one app that I have noticed that is not now working - MyPhoneExplorer. I have run through the adb shell pm compile -a -f --full adb shell reboot but they do not help. Here is the report that comes up:

Some minor issues which continue to appear: - some notification sounds are changed; - sometimes Battery saver is reset to balanced. The above maybe due to certain sections being reset during the upgrade. - a mixture of the non-standard date format (mm/dd) instead of the correct dd/mm (UK)...

Yes. The first time of viewing the App info, the heading Battery saver is visible. Going into the App info again and the heading Battery saver has disappeared. If you reboot, the headng reappears, only to disappear again at the second viewing.

Make sure that you not only have the latest TWRP, https://sourceforge.net/projects/recovery-for-xiaomi-devices/files/ but also when installing TWRP, you use the correct Fastboot commands, otherwise things may go wrong! Installing a custom recovery

I want to backup my saved network settings. Under Settings / Wi-Fi / Additional settings / Manage saved networks, there is only the option to delete networks. Previously, when I needed to reset the network connections (to get 5G working properly), I lost all of my network, including Wi-Fi...
