I tried to insert my headphone into the audio jack and I found that the connection is not tight and made the sound coming into the headphone distorted. Anyone encountered the same problem? Anyway, I am using ATH MX40 with the original cable provided by Audio Technica.

By the way, anyone use it without screen protector?

Me. Nothing can beat the feeling of touching a naked screen drool.gif

Did you try inserting it fully?
last time I tried new earphone also, thought i couldn't plug in my earphones. Turns out because I didn't push the jack in fully only  sweat.gif

Bro,you are right!! I thought I got a defect unit haha. Thank you anyway thumbup.gif thumbup.gif . The phone's jack is much tighter than my Redmi 4's, that's why I thought I had it fully inserted doh.gif

For me personally it was worth it. I had the rear panel popped up too, really uncomfortable to use because of the edges.

I kinda wish it was OxygenOS type of stock Android. On this phone even you if enable the battery percentage it's really hard to see at a glance so I just use an app called Energy Bar. Still, not a dealbreaker for me cause I much prefer the flat design of stock android tongue.gif

Battery should last much longer eventhough similar 3k+ mAh size, cos of the more efficient Snap625

Cant really review on camera cos I'm not big on photography sweat.gif but took a quick pic of my house this morning in bright light and i thought it looked really nice (w/ HDR)

Overall, im satisfied and no buyers remorse lol
*
How do you enable the battery percentage? I spent entire night yesterday to find that feature but to no avail.

You have to enable System UI tuner first. To do this, pull down the notification bar/quick settings,long press the settings icon (top right) and enable it. From there you change the settings in the status bar etc

Btw i dont have any screen protector installed too but looking for a case. Apparently xiaomi made an official case for the A1 which looks nice. Hopefully someone bring in  tongue.gif

Really appreciate the tips thumbup.gif . Never thought there are some useful hidden features icon_idea.gif

Alright. Thanks for your input bruv. Might be getting this if my Honor 6 fail me soon.
No problem bro. Haha. Probably because phone is still new so the jack is a bit tight. How's the sound quality though? Most YouTube reviews said the sound is amazing and has built in amp
*
I can't tell the difference in sound quality compared to my previous phones (Redmi 4 Prime). Maybe my ears are not that good to tell the difference sweat.gif

Imo, the camera performance in daylight is great but the performance in low light condition that is kind of a let down.

Root? How to root? , teach us teach us.
Any  Pro or cons if phone root?
and what is EIS?

Thanks
*
I believe he rooted his Redmi Note 4, not Mi A1. The method is different for different device.

EIS=Electronic Image Stabilisation. Employed when a device doesn't have the hardware capability of OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation).

Why on your GPS?

Anyway, try to go to save battery mode.  smile.gif

To fully utilise Google's services hehe.
Anyway, I've found the cause of the battery drain, it is the Bluetooth. I forgot to turn it off after connecting it to my car's radio.

Which telco you use? I'm using Maxis and my 4g not stable since last week

I'm having the same problem too. Btw, I'm using Celcom.

Is the "OK Google" voice command works when A1 is in deep sleep/stand-by mode...?
*
If I'm not mistaken, you cannot wake up the phone using voice command, you can unlock the phone using it though.

I understand that while some ex MIUI users might not feel comfortable with this phone as it lacks many features in the REDMI series, please bear in mind this is only Android One and Xiaomi's first project with Google.

Next year there would be probably a Mi A2 and I strongly believed that more add ons will be in store but I also stressed that it should maintained as simple as possible.

I think the Mi A1 overall respond is good and also probably the cheapest for a pure stock Android smartphone.

If there are too many added features, it won't be stock Android anymore bye.gif bye.gif . The main attraction of the phone is the stock Android and it should be kept that way.

Does no else experience the headphone jack noise/static?

It's starting to get annoying now. Plenty online have the same issues so can't be my headphone

When did the sound occurred? I regularly listen to Spotify but there's no unusual sound I heard from my headphone.

Just for sharing purpose.
Ignore this if you do not need it.
Just got this for the Mi A1 yesterday.
All the Pixel 2-style features.

Battery temperature is high, almost 40°C. Is this normal? Btw, I'm not using the provided power adaptor nor the cable.

Just found out that if I plugged the charger directly into the wall socket, the temperature didn't rise up. Before this I plugged the charger intn 5 gang sockets and made the temperature of the phone rose.
