Turn off 4G. Or simply get a plan with free internet, or subscribe to one.

mengsuan Turn off 4G work! Thank you! Since I don't using any data on this number so just leave it on 3G.

Some 4G devices still transmit data packets although mobile data switch is off, suspected to be attempts to use VoLTE. Hence most prepaid plan now has free basic data. These charges were frequently complained when 4G phone just released.
It is something to be aware when roaming too. The charges will not be waived in some cases.

You will likely crack or damage the inner surface of the tempered glass when removing.

Anyone have issue with line connection?

I'm using Digi, but line is very bad. I thought it was Digi's problem, but my friend's line is also Digi and her line is okay. Side by side, my line sucks. Wonder if it's my phone.

She's using Samsung Note 8 btw.

Data connection stability hasn't been a strong point of Mi A1 but it is still usable, only some occasional disconnections.

I frequently get no signal, like emergency calls only. Very frustrating.

Followed a tip to force select 4G ONLY, hope it works. Sigh.

As the device does not support VoLTE with Malaysia Telco yet, you won't get your phone calls if you do that.

i found this video done by Soyacincau.com which are reliable website.Can anyone support his conclusion ?.I will only consider Mi A1 if it can use fast charging even i have to buy another charger and cable

TLTW : Mi A1 can fast charging but need to use fast charging adapter and fast charging cable,not given by inside the box.in this video,they are using dash charger and cable from one plus that give the fastest charging time.

After those hype and rumours, real results of charging time is no different between 2A charger and QC2/3 charger. Means it does not have QC2/3.

Wow, didn't realize Mi A1 can have so many problems...

Haven't heard of any people having this problem yet.
It is a fantastic phone which I never had problem, only GPS since yesterday.
Going to make a factory reset for final test before sending it for service/warranty.

Haven't reset my device but only uninstalled Waze. GPS has worked on Google maps. Will monitor further.

The best method to ensure GPS navigation is working flawlessly is to launch Google Maps first and let the location properly lock within the Google Maps.

Once the location has been locked, we can launch Waze/HERE Map/etc and be surprised the location in Waze is locked instantly.

The Google Maps app has "location history" feature that Waze doesn't possessed. That's why Waze hardly lock our position from "cold" start...

There's nothing wrong with Mi A1 GPS module....nothing to do with MIUI either... it's the locking algorithm from the "cold" start of GPS module...

When GPS didn't work, Google map does not work too.
Since I have held this phone for half a year, I can notice a significant change suddenly in GPS reliability.
