Yeah, my thoughts exactly, would rather wait than try to force it smile.gif
Which specific app hangs? Mine seems OK.

Hi all, I'm looking between the Redmi Note 4 and the Mi A1, not sure which one is better.

The Note 4 has the Dual Apps and Second Space feature, which will be useful to me in my line of work, while the A1 runs on stock android, which seems to be less bloated and is better supported.

So, does the Mi A1 have any easy ways to do what the MIUI can do in terms of Dual Apps and Second Space? Is the Mi A1's higher price against the Note 4 justified? Is it really that buggy?

Thanks.
*
If you need the features of MIUI then the Note 4 is a better buy. The Mi A1 is purely for those who want a clean, no-fuss Android experience. You do get guaranteed and frequent updates with the A1, but other than that you will need to rely heavily on the Google Play Store for your app needs.

Haha, which version of your phone running before update to January security patch Oreo?

How is Jan Oreo compare to Dec Oreo?

Wait a minute, from your post "but I’ve stopped waiting."  Does this mean you are using your phone right now with Oreo Dec or you'd use the force update method to update your phone to Oreo Jan?...I am a bit confused haha  icon_question.gif

But it's okay, enjoy your new phone! rclxm9.gif
*
Hahaha... I mean I stopped going into the system settings daily to see if there is a new update, ha ha. I'm on Oreo December, haven't gone into January one yet, don't know if they have really pulled it out or not. Wished I didn't go with the Oreo in December, while my phone has no bugs the battery life isn't quite as good on Oreo as it was on Nougat before I updated.

We'll see smile.gif

Oh, got it now haha, btw how is your battery life when on nougat? I didn't use the phone when on nougat so curious about it.

On the average, I was getting about an hour of SOT more on the same battery percentages on Nougat than I am with Oreo.

It happens on every phone.

Battery degrades over time.

It's definitely not a battery degrading issue, after all my phone is barely 3 months old! Anyways, to me, the battery performance is still acceptable.

Just can't get my January update soon enough biggrin.gif

Once you use Stock Android for quite some time, you not really want to use other UI....

3 months into using stock Android as my daily driver now and I agree that it’s less frustrating and simpler compared to the other UIs from manufacturers. Too bad the Pixel range isn’t officially available here.

Just wanna ask do u guy's face random force close after leaving the phone overnight? Mine does that today and need to restart then all gone. Also if BT we set to aptx only aptx supported Bluetooth device will show up?
*
The only random force close message I keep seeing is "Waze keeps stopping", which is weird coz I didn't even on it, haha..

Vanilla Android are fast as sometime doesn't have some hiccup on some skinned Android.

True, but you have to rely on apps for most features and some apps do run rogue every now and then, ha ha. Still, the standby battery drain is awesome compared to skinned Androids.

anyone facing power button issues? sometimes needs a second press to on/off, and if the double press for camera option is enabled then a single or longer press may launch the camera

None for me but I don't enable the that feature

No idea why it's not less complicated than that.

it is indeed slightly faster in 8.0.0, but definitely not quick charge. Mi removed it in 8.0.1, it no longer show charging rapidly, normally or slowly.

QUOTE(myself379 @ Jan 24 2018, 05:56 AM)
If not mistaken, they only rephrase it. It's still charge faster. I read somewhere from soyacincao

On the stock charger there’s no difference between charging times in Nougat and Oreo laugh.gif
