With stock Android, you won't feel your phone getting old but younger in terms of software. The only thing that makes you feel your phone is old will be the hardware department but hey smartphone makers need to survive too!  smile.gif

1. battery last longer
2. no more blurry image ....point and shoot...perfect

try to change your wallpaper to lighter color.

Ic so it follows the wallpaper tone! Thanks! Add-on: also noted the notification led no longer blink like other users here after the latest update

QUOTE(weirdguy @ Jul 22 2018, 10:07 AM)
I am. I'm still deciding to take up the current excellent deal of Mi A1 or wait for A2. Would A2 has better camera than Redmi Note 5?

I actually want to get Redmi Note 5 but it isn't USB Type-C and I do not think i could go back using USB 2.0.
*
When is a2 releasing?

QUOTE(eason47 @ Jul 22 2018, 03:46 PM)
So am I. Thought to wait for good deal at 11 November.
But, my phone volume up button is stuck, randomly increase the volume to Max. sad.gif

Checking on the comparison of redmi note 5 and mi 6x(mi a2), I feels that the camera quality difference is quite minimal.
Suggest you go to have a look at YouTube.

I'll go for the one with stock Android and slightly better looking mi a2.
*
The deal now for A1 is already consider worth the value eh!

cool! i also prefer on screen button (after getting used to Nexus 5). ok then wait for A2 and see how it will look like. my wife went to mi store and check out A1 price at RM729 she was like so cheap and can get such performance. so wait for A2 and see how's the pricing like. might get for her tongue.gif

Noticed that my backlight screen jadi lagi pudar after update. Anyone else noticed?

Like, it used to be brighter even when at 50% brightness, but now i have to ramp it up to 60-65% to achieve the same brightness
*
Yea same. Now on 75% brightness which is around 50% brightness previously.

wow, been looking high and low for this forum to resurface. Dont know why admin took a month to deactivate it. Anywhere welcome back.

Just to say that Android Pie has messed up the GPS locking. It took forever for waze to work correctly. If you need waze oftenly, please stay away this update until they have fix it with another new update.

If anyone knows how to downgrade to oreo OS, pls share. TQ

thats y im using google maps after the update. no prob for google maps though hmm.gif

i believe somehow the pie os did make the waze unstable by not connecting to gps...no choice everytime need to restart phone in order for waze to lock the gps faster. Lets hope the next rom update will fix this issue. i believe google map is not having this issue...just waze, sigh... cry.gif
*
thats the reason y i uninstall waze and use google map after the pie update. i thought the pie update screw up the gps locking issue irregardless of what app is used but after trying google map only i noticed it only happened to waze.

Guys, is there any choice of fullscreen protector (non-tempered glass) for Xiaomi A1? Kinda frustrating when the tempered glass cracks at the sides.

I use this for other phone. Last for 1.5 years before it peels off by itself on the edge... So, get 2 units just in case installation goes wrong... It's not easy to install for average Joe...

For hydrogel it wont have bubbles on the edges right?

trying my luck here.

m just trying to browse my phone as usual and suddenly it froze. I can only force off it by holding the power button but after that it cant turn on anymore. try to charge it and nothing appears on screen, only the blinking notification LED during charging.

already google around and is confused whether is this consider bricked or phone is in EDL mode?
