I tried Googled but can't find the info, may I know what is "slider alert"?

Vibration is a bit soft but I like the way it is.

I used for a few days now. Updated to September security update, unlocked bootloader and rooted. My usual SOT is around 4hrs 30min to 5hrs 30min when it hit 50% battery. The phone is very cool even when gaming, I think this is my first phone that is very comfortable to use for gaming.

I've tried to improve things on this phone but one things are clear, there is no camera2 API on it. I tried enabling it but it made all 3rd party apps unable to use any manual feature, no ISO, no shutter speed control.
*

I saw there is a "Manual" mode in the camera, doesn't there the shutter speed, ISO control you are looking for? Sorry I'm not very sure, just saw the settings there but never use it, the phone is belongs to my son.



For this Mi A1, let's say we are having a meeting and want to quickly mute the phone, there is no toggle for Silent or Vibrate right? What's the best way to do these?

Thanks!

Again, anyone know of the best way to quickly Mute / Silence the phone?

Thanks in advanced!

For me, slide down the notification bar, and tap on DND, select Priority or Silent.

I see... Many thanks for the help, was used to non-stock Android phones, haha...

Press either volume up/down key, when u see the volume slider just press on the bell icon, the phone will goes to silent (vibrate) mode. Of course u can only do this with the screen awake.
Pressing the bell icon again will goes back to normal ringing mode.
*

Hey! Wow! Never thought of that bell icon is clickable, stupid me... Many thanks for this quick shortcut tip. smile.gif

This seller changes 20 for shipping. So the end price is same as he selling for 919 . Tricky seller. Haha.

But 919 still consider cheap already, I bought mine at 949 biggrin.gif

Oh thanks for your feedback 
How about this A1 phone? I usually need to take close up photo for working purpose, I know handphone camera is not the ideal but at least something convenient that I can bring out. I'm using Honor 6 now and I personally think the camera snap close up photo is better than RN3 / 4.
*

Me too, most of the time needs to take macro photo of tiny products. But you must be careful with this phone. If you put the lens very close to the subject and the camera failed to focus (I use tap to focus), it still beep, and the picture turn out to be out of focus.

This A1 I bought for my son, I personally using the outdated Galaxy Note 3 blush.gif . When my Note 3 failed to focus, the focus area turned red and warn me with failed to focus sound.

Galaxy Note 3 really tahan, but it really worn out. In the beginning I willing to spend on Spigen curve screen protector (RM130 that time), when trade in, everything still intact! (except for the bezel color, color nia. but the store representative die die also cut me back RM100; I know can re-sell for RM400 as 2nd hand, but I doubt people will choose it, need COD some more, need time some more, better trade the time with money IMO).

I know this A1 camera ok-ok nia, but since I survived SGN3 camera, I think I can survive this. haha. (for those who didn't know, SGN3 camera not so good also, at the final-moment-when-you-press-the-camera-key, IF you shake-just-a-tiny-little-bit, photo blur komfom-100%)

Hey friends, another Samsung Galaxy Note 3 user here... tongue.gif
I bought a new original battery from Samsung store last year, and it also going to die soon! sweat.gif

Bought MiA1 for my son few days after official launch here, absolutely no complain with the camera.
Regarding phone performance, it is very smooth if compare with other Mi device I've seen. thumbsup.gif
Making me also want to buy one for myself too. laugh.gif

Got any added features in latest update?

Haha.... didn't notice anything new. biggrin.gif

I said "good for him" but will never say "good papa" because he's invading his son's privacy.....  innocent.gif

LOL...! No one in our family setup any lockscreen password. But I advice my son to setup one (and we all know the pin, just in case bad things happen) because his friends are too playful to mess with each others' phone if not password protected. doh.gif Don't worry, he always thank me for helping him update his phone. He's was too lazy to wait for the update to install. Constantly sticking with the phone until sleep. biggrin.gif

By the way, I really like this phone, thinking to replace my Galaxy Note 3. blush.gif
Will see if got any good price on the coming 12.12 "bonanza". laugh.gif

Anyone has issues the sdcard got unmounted and mounted back repeatedly? Happening to my Samsung Evo Plus 64gb. Symptoms will be increased battery usage for the media service & Google photos having to recheck all the photos in the card (showing thousands pending upload).

I've tried to reinsert, format, even resetting the phone...It also happens when the phone is left idle on the table at night so I don't think it's the the contact issue. Worst it if I leave to the card in to the phone unmounted, it got mounted, unmounted too.
*

I've had this exact problem before in my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Was using Sandisk card, yes it will mount and unmount furiously.
Phone become scorchingly hot. Battery drain to dead in 1-2 hours.
At last found out to be the card is faulty (after been using it for 1 or 2 years).
I then bought a new card and it runs smoothly until today.

Could it be the cable (non original) that make the charging slower?
