When I charge with my Aukey charger that supports QC 3.0, the battery icon didn't show the QC 3.0 icon that looks like a circle with a lighting bolt.

Is there something wrong?
I maybe wrong .. don't think there is quick charge icon on status bar (like on miui) .. only on lockscreen indicate "rapid charging" when quick charge.

Anyone know how to add screenshot shortcut on the notification area?
Dont1 to use power + press volume down button. The screenshot is missing on the list , canot add to notification there while miui has it .
*
I usually don't use screenshot shortcut on notification area if there is one (A2 doesn't have it). I set additional button for it on the navbar using "custom navigation bar". I set left side additional button (with no icon) for screenshot & right side for sleep/screen off

please try:
1. settings>connected devices>printing>OFF
2. disable auto rotation
3. settings>security&location>location set to battery saving
4. settings>security&location> scanning>bluetooth disabled
*
These are my "default" settings on any device ...

Usually I get around 4 1/2 hrs SoT at 50% battery on my Mi A2 ..

One thing to note about my SOT, I don't play games ..
Use my device just for calls, whatsapp, browsing & some social media.

Here you can see some apps that contribute to my SOT

*
So far no problem with calls at all, no such issue.

just got this phone,,,
1) how come this phone doesn't show the the big time and date in the page..... ???? i search everywhere but couldn't find it...
2) how to screen lock this phone without pressing the side button (power button). i used mi 4i before, if i slide down i simple press the screen lock without pressing the side button.
do u guys experience these/???/
*
1. Maybe you need to add the Digital Clock in Widgets to your homescreen.

2. There is no Lock quick settings on Mi A2 / Android One / Stock Android. For me I add additional blank icon to NavBar using custom navigation bar app to screen lock.

QUOTE(phra09 @ Aug 26 2018, 12:07 AM)
this is my first android one phone...

for location gps, usually i turn on all the time via settings > battery saving mode
When i want to use waze, i will just enable the gps from notification then it will change to high accuracy mode.

i did that with my note 3 and 4.

but a2 can't seem to use it. if i use high accuracy all time, it will consume my battery too much...
*
Long press the location/gps icon to go to location settings.
That's how it is on Android One/stock Android.

actually i want my gps to run in battery saving mode continuously. When i enable the gps via icon, it will then go to high accuracy mode.

for android one, if i turn on the gps in saving mode, then i turn on gps via icon, it won't go to accuracy mode unless i manually change under setting....

hope you guys  understand what im saying.,..
*
I do understand what you mean .. there is no gps toggle on Android One .. same as stock Android on Nexus 6p (that I used to have). Only shortcut to location settings when long press on the gps icon.

Just wondering how do you all A2 owners feel now regarding the launch of pocofone?

Regret? Cheated? Still love your A2? Feeling like selling the A2?
*
No regret as I always use 2 phone.
One with stock android (now Mi A2 replacing my old nexus 6p).
Another one with skinned android (now is redmi note 5 replacing my old Htc M8, most probably will buy Poco to replace redmi note 5)

Bought this phone A2 today, mine is 128gb, local set.

Need to ask a question, is there a gallery app default in this phone? Mine don't have gallery app.
*
There is no gallery app only google photos is default app.
You can install 3rd party app for gallery if needed.

no need to rush it
let it become stable first than release

rather than have half-cooked rom that will have bugs and drains the battery

or, as always: root and get custom rom. always a good idea to play with newer roms
*
So far, running beta Android 9, no major bug I found. For me only one small bug that I see .. the navbar home button sometime change.

Stock camera itself cannot. Need to use 3rd party qr scanner app.

I don't use any but tested one before replied to you.
