Cool but nornally I will receive later than others.
This took less time than expected – Xiaomi is pushing out a new version of the Oreo update for the Mi A1. That update was pulled on Friday after the discovery of several nasty bugs.
The new update reportedly resolves the Bluetooth battery drain, random reboots and other issues, it also restores the gesture functionality of the fingerprint reader. Also included in this update is the January security patch. The original update packed the December patch.
If you already installed the defective update, the new version is a small 89MB download. If you’re still on Nougat, then it’s a more substantial 1,112MB update.
Yes . i buy quick charge charger with its cable can charge 10% to 100% in one hour. By the way why google play store pending/like hangs when want to update or download apps? my redmi note3 update/download apps quick unlike mia1.
Can you provide the link for the quick charge cable? I have bought the adapter only.
A dialer is the first and the most basic thing anyone would use on a phone. Sadly, the default dialer app on the Mi A1 is a bit of a drab. Therefore, I use a third-party app called drupe. It's a goldmine of features and has all that one can expect from a dialer.
It comes with an amazing design and offers some great features, using which you can interact with your contacts and communication apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and others seamlessly.
You can replace your dialer and Truecaller with this one. It has all the features baked in. Also, if you like to keep a record of your conversations, this app is sure to please you with the automatic call recorder.
One cool feature of this app is that if you are unable to contact a person for any reason, drupe will automatically give you a floating window where you can set a reminder to call again after a while or to redial.
2. Apex Launcher
Android One is good and pretty lightweight, however, it's too basic and there can be so much more that an app launcher can offer. That's the reason why I use Apex Launcher. It is a well-known Android launcher app that has been there for quite some time. Similar to Nova Launcher, Apex offers a diverse range of customization options.
The basic version comes with Google folder, Apex settings, and menu icons with five scroll-able screens.
This app lets you customize most of the GUI. You can sort and style the app icons, set the number of dock pages, home screen grids, and so much more. Another feature is setting the action for the home button, which again is fully customizable. If you wish, you can also hide apps using this launcher.
3. Pulsar Music Player
The Xiaomi Mi A1 has a brilliant audio amplifier and it is meant for audiophiles. However, the stock music app is not good enough to play FLAC files. For that, I prefer the Pulsar Music Player. It's a great ad-free audio player that fully supports uncompressed, lossless music playback.
The amount of features it offers is very similar to those offered by other paid apps like Poweramp. While playing music, it can automatically download missing album arts. With a user interface based on material design, it's very simple to use.
It comes with support for Android auto, which means that if your car player supports it, this becomes the native music playback app. Also, if you use Google Chromecast, you can easily stream your music to your TV or music player connected to one.
Another interesting feature of Pulsar is its integrated sleep timer. Using this, you can easily tell the player to turn the music playback off after a certain period of time. Very useful if you have a habit of listening to music before going to bed.
4. Bacon Camera
Okay, the dual cameras on the Mi A1 would have been a bliss only if the default camera app was any good for it. Sadly, it is not. Hence, I have shifted to the Bacon Camera app.
The Mi A1 doesn’t have support for the manual mode (or pro mode) so I trust the Bacon Camera app for this. The best feature of this app is that it lets you save a picture in RAW mode even if my phone doesn’t support it.
It packs many pro-level features that provide DSLR-like manual control. Bacon Camera has a simple and easy-to-use layout. It includes modes such as Video and Panorama, easily located on its home screen along with a timer and an HDR mode.
A free camera app cannot get any better than this.
5. Files Go by Google
While the default file manager is good enough for daily tasks, Google's Files Go is a swiss-army knife that everyone must use. Files Go sports a multitude of handy features right from freeing up memory to transferring files in a jiffy.
As one of its highlight features, it makes sharing files with nearby devices easy. Similar to ShareIt, this app lets you share files with the help of Wi-Fi Direct.
Like me, if you also have the habit of capturing shots in the burst mode, you must be aware of the problem that a lot of duplicate files get created in the process. Using FIles Go, you can get rid of the duplicate shots easily.
From time to time, the app will also scan your phone and let you know about all the apps that you haven't been using. What's interesting is that this whole package is available in less than 10MB.
hi guys, so I accidentally dropped my mi a1 into a river while travelling in Taiwan. I managed to pick it up but I believe it must have submerged under the water for about 3 minutes. Tried the usual rice-bag method and while the phone can charge and turn on, the screen is completely black. Any idea of how much it would cost to repair? And is it worth it to repair?
MI A1 has expanded to Taiwan!
Another way that you can try if you can wait is to let it dry for few days or a week. Just dry it with a table fan to make the ptocess faster and make sure DO NOT ON your phone at all. If you are lucky, everything will be back to normal.... Good luck tho...
Good Day All. After update Orea, all is okie for me. Yesterday i just go somewhere i donno, and use waze and googlemap. Seem it not functioning. Only know my location. when moving, not follow. Is this problem u all meet?
Sometimes I still got GPS issue Telco: celcom Version: Oreo January
Really need a solution😥
I m using Digi. If it indicates 3G instead of 4G normally, the GPS will stop until it detects 4G back but that only happens if you are driving around a close or remote area.
Xiaomi Deletes “Android One vs MIUI” Twitter Poll After Losing
Social media is, at best, a dangerous place to attempt to show up the competition. Something that Xiaomi has apparently learnt after asking its fans to vote on a poll comparing the Android One operating system with its own MIUI reskin.
QUOTE
The Twitter poll was likely directed at the Mi A1, Xiaomi’s first Android One based smartphone. Launched back in September 2017, the phone has proven to be especially popular. Mostly being a solid low cost smartphone that also features a pure Android experience; something that Google intended when it rolled out the operating system.
We presume that Xiaomi’s social media manager was hoping that the legion of Xiaomi users would flock to the poll and guarantee an overwhelming victory for MIUI. A move that backfired as the voting period ended with 57% of respondents favouring Android One.
It’s difficult to say why the poll was deleted, seeing as Xiaomi supports both forms of the operating system right now.
Admittedly, putting the poll on Twitter may have skewed the results in favour of a vanilla Android experience. Considering that Xiaomi’s largest market – China – doesn’t even have access to the micro-blogging platform. We expect that things might be different if the question was asked on Weibo.
Which operating system is better?
Android One 57% MIUI 43%
