May I know where to get the voucher?
Mind to elaborate more how to get the coupon via app? I search through the website but couldn't find any further info:(

I bought and received mine from this seller too.

Download the Qoo10 Malaysia app from the Play Store, install and register an account with Qoo10. Browse for this phone, it should still be on the front page or under best sellers (using the app, not browser!). On the phone selling page, look for the banner for RM180 voucher and make sure you click on it. Voucher available daily at 10am or until they decide to close this promotion...hope this helps.

Some initial impressions so far :

1.) Size is slightly unwieldy but I'm coming from a One Plus X (5 incher)
2.) Lighter than the X and seems to run cooler. Using a Nillkin cover which adds slightly to the weight now.
3.) Having the bug where the Contacts and Whatsapp are duplicating ie. 2 records for the same person when I open up the Dialer.
4.) Screen scrolling is not looking right, sensitive to lag and I can feel it's not smooth enough. Hope future updates will improve it.
5.) A forum member was asking whether we can swap the Back and Recent keys, I'm doing that with an app, Button Mapper. No stock option to do so unfortunately. Maybe will try to root once stable and see if we can directly edit the keymap.
6.) Notification light is white colour only...seriously? How much more would it cost to get a multicoloured one? Dunno why but it feels really annoying, like a nickel and dime decision.
7.) I do miss the X's hardware slider to activate Priority and Silent mode. Useful when I'm working or walking to a meeting etc.
8.) Any way to get a tap or double tap to wake gesture?

If you too lazy to pick up the phone, guess you need root to enable it.

Because some of us are actually working in the office, so it's good to tap to catch a glance instead of taking up the phone. tongue.gif

Please don't insult or generalise the use of the phone, not everyone uses the phone the same way you do.

Yes, I forgot to mention you get an option to link the 2 records, but it's on a per contact....so if you have a couple of hundred contacts and doing it manually....not going there for now.

Let's see if they can fix this issue in the future biggrin.gif

Im not insulting because you can just pick up the phone and put your finger on it to turn the screen on. Take about what? A couple of seconds? Mind boggling really when the convenience is there.

Ok, we'll agree to disagree then? I just asked for my own convenience, you are free to disregard the question. Cheers! smile.gif

To add on:
Not comfortable to hold since I squeeze the phone hard when answering call. Afraid it might skip as I don't have a case now.
Yeah, am using a Nillkin case so the grip is much better for me now.

QUOTE
I have the duplicate issue too. But that is because Google auto transfer my address book to this phone and then I manually transfer the contact via share it all. Just manually link them and update contacts to Google?
I imported directly from a VCF file backup instead. As the manual link needs to be done on each individual contact, I'll see if it gets fixed or slowly link as and when needed. Don't feel like clicking a couple of hundred times for the entire address book biggrin.gif

QUOTE
Guess have to download profile scheduler to silent phone or press the volume button down. Not as convenient as iPhone
I use the notification slider shortcut and tap on the DND icon, it'll let you choose Silent or Priority from there. There's also an Automatic Rules section under DND where apparently you can set a schedule for it, needs testing.

QUOTE
Use fingerprint unlock is better imo. Also if u use third party app to lock screen, the fingerprint unlock wouldn't work.

Not an urgent issue for now...just would be nice to have for my use scenario.

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!

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

Same as last time my OPO when release got the famous yellow band issue

I have the screen lag issue as well, but I'm quite sensitive to refresh rates or other lag symptoms. So some people might not notice it at all.

It happens. biggrin.gif I also sked of failing, my OCD kicks in with those unsightly bubbles.

I find phones these days quite resistant, no need SP.

Now my concern is - can I swap the menu and back button? sad.gif

Without root, I'm using Button Mapper (flar2) to swap the keys. It's using the Accessibility services to intercept the key calls I believe.

Waiting for a stable TWRP and Magisk before trying root and seeing if it's editable directly.

The code used (ORA25SH) is for Sen Heng's store on Lazada, today only between 2pm and 4pm. Fully redeemed apparently too!

Normally they email it to me, or else I need to request from their customer service.
