29/6 and still no 8.1 June Patch - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

I'm think Xiaomi is losing the momentum.
Looks like too much to Samsung. A Lot of devices and a slow Update times.

So what... There will always be bugs, delays on every phone, android version. Even pixel phones have bugs and delays. All this constant conversation about timely updates is just a WASTE of time... By a pixel phone or other one

I'm very happy with my A1 but the long waited Update at this speed Will get P in mid 2019.

No need to rant here like what people are doing in MIUI Forums (but that site is beyond cancerous). They are "working hard" to deliver Android 8.1 with June patch that's why it takes too long. Sources say that developers just pushed another beta update today.

No rant. Its the same here on xda and this is another thread asking something that is totally irrelevant. The update may come, it may be postponned or even delivered today. Its life... Search the forum and each month because of updates threads start popping out like rabbits asking the same thing... ITS JUST A PHONE!

I agree, this kind of poisonous nonsense should be removed from the xda-forums just like the ones posting it. I deleted my account on the MIUI forums because it's horrible and hard to find anything informative because of sh*tposts like these. Also, the Mi A1 is living up to the Android One program and then some so people shouldn't complain at all:
- 1 major update => received
- several smaller security updates => received
- 18 months of software support => no indication that we'll be denied of that
Aside from that we will probably get a second major update, it seems like we'll get a minor update (8.1) and we've been given a security update every single month. Nothing to complain about.

I bought this phone a few weeks ago and when i entered mi a1's miui forum it was in a real mess. Jeez, apart from the stock rom(1 major upgrade left 8.1(maybe) -> 9) there are official custom roms, kernels and even guides for treble! Also no matter which phone, rom and company there will be ALWAYS bugs with it.

just received the june security update... 1157.5 MB. guess it's 8.1.0

Good news guys, June update of 1157.5 MB is now available. downloading it at the moment on my phone.

Thread closed,
Threads like these offer nothing useful and they quickly turn into a flame war. Wait patiently or go with a new manufacture.

You can look at all the features of android 7.0 here.

Let's hope Samsung gives it to us this year.

Any developers here would do it if it was somwhat posibile but Samsung doesn't release the source code of Exynos so it's somewhat impossibile. It's like you need to build a town with buildings but you don't have a map of pipes to see here you need to put it...
Developers need to write all the drivers and with guessing what where it goes and really is impossibile.
My Moto G 2013 will get CM 14 beacuse Motorola released the source code for Android 5.1 and they have a starting point. Here we have nothing.
Not going to happen. We'll see it in roughly six months.... Oh well... Samsung supports their devices like one time phones. Only sales matters no support. They have let their customers down so many times now...
I'm afraid that they'll make some patch and security update of Android 6 for S7/Edge sooner. But let's hope that they'll push hard for Note 7 and some king will port it on S7.
I'd start hunt for it. I feel free to give 20 USD donate for stable (almost) clean Android 7 ROM

Im sure the international phones will get it this year, carrier phones will get it next year heh
As Eurofighter_ty said above, there will be no "porting" of Android N (or any other non-Touchwiz ROM like CyanogenMod) to a Samsung device with an Exynos SoC due to proprietary sources that Samsung will not release. There are exceptions where an extremely talented and motivated dev takes the time to reverse engineer drivers.
If history serves, it will be several months before Samsung starts rolling Nougat out, newest and most important devices first (N7, S7, S7E...). These are things to know before buying any Samsung device.
Maybe, i should just wait for S8 then XD

I would agree, I've seen major android updates in the past where its been like a step backwards and so it only leads to disappointment. Hopefully we are at a stage with android where this update (6 to 7) is more of a polishing of the current OS. Yes I know there are some additional features but its not a major overhaul as we've had in the past. I think most people would mostly appreciate some better consistency with battery life, Im not saying mine isnt good but there still seems to be a high android OS usage,so hopefully the enhanced doze feature tackles this, but we'll see. The one benefit of not getting the update right now is that over the next few months hopefully a lot of issues will be ironed out, for instance app compatibility. There are almost always cases where "I've just upgraded but now XXXX app doesnt work??" and you have to wait for the dev to update so their app so that it works nicely with the latest release.
Some of the Android N features are already in the S7. Multi window for example. Or Android for Work which overlaps with Knox. Other stuff is nice but only for new devices, like the seamless updates. The new JIT may be an exception, and the new graphics subsystem would also be nice.
About the VR stuff: I double Samsung will enable it for the Gear VR but we can of course hope.
Expect to have android N next year around April or May

Xiaomi and support for the their phones

My Mix 2s is on the way and I'm excited to get it. I'm just wondering how is Xiaomi with supporting their phones? Do they tend to be one upgrade of Android then done? How are they with security updates? I've wanted a mi mix since the first but only now had the money to snag one. Coming from the V20 while a great phone in it's day - LG never updated it from 7.0 and I've gotten only a couple of security updates. I'll keep it as a backup for the moment because it has literally everything but wireless charging.
Since I bought my mix 2s in may I've received about 2 updates. Currently waiting for miui10
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
The list of MIUI 10 is quite long,
so compared to others I would say they update longer.
I will also buy Mix2s for several reasons and this is one of them
Xiaomi is known for supporting their phones very long but you have to keep in mind that Miui doesn't follow android versions. There are phones with lollipop and miui 9

December update

Hey People,
Any hope of Android 10 coming now as a christmas present?
Guess we'll find out soon ?
Yeah know it doesn't help :good:

Chances for it are rather low.
So basically Android 9 was released by Google on August 6, 2018 and we got the Beta for Pie at the end of November/ beginning of December 2018. Considering that Android 10 was released by Google on May, 2019. We can assume that it takes roughly 3-4 months for the first year Android One phones. Mi A1 got its second Android update (Android 9) at the end of December 2018, which means that it took the Mi A1 4 months to get its second Android update, which means altogether that XIAOMI IS FRICKING LATE AGAIN.
So yeah, I also hope for at least a 10 Beta, but I'm not keeping my hopes up about it. I'd suggest you do the same. Cheers.
Meanwhile I got the MIUI 11 update on my other phone at the end of October. Android One is a joke.

No, this only shows Xiaomi's priorities. They put the best part of their developers to work on MIUI, and leave A1 phones for their spare time.
There was a mention in other thread a while ago about Xiaomi wanting to drop A1 phones all together, but we never got confirmation about it.

It's not necessary for MIUI 11 to have android 10, on my other phone I got MIUI 11 and I still have android 9.
MIUI is Xiaomi's selling point. Android One probably has a relatively low priority and therefore very few manpower, as it produces the least profit. All of their customer support people I had contact with didn't even knew that they sell non MIUI devices.
Edit: Nokia isn't any better. My Nokia 7 Plus usually gets the security updates later than my A2 Lite and Android 10 will not be around until next year as well.

Mi A1 launched with Android 7 which means it doesnt support native Project Treble. On the other side our phone launched with Android 8 which means we must take updates fast than Mi A1.
Even Huawei P Smart 2019 got its Android 10 update. This is real shame for Xiaomi and Google.

I heard MIUI 11 is not at all Android 10 (at least on my father's Redmi Note 7 and neighbor's Redmi Note 8) and Xiaomeme (as we call it since the 'bricking' update of Mi A2) shows that they're really cockteasing Android 10 in most of their devices where in fact it is still Android Pie (at least in developing countries like PHL regions).
And yeah, AndroidOne is not their priorities, even they did not fix bugs, but instead, adding more bugs than what it already have.
Nokia 7.1 get today android 10 update

No. Xiaomi isn't the best when it comes to updates. Guess they don't have the manpower.
Edit: Also most other manufacturers only releases Android 10 updates in this year for their flagships. Mid-range / budget phones are at the bottom of the line.

Do you think Huawei P Smart 2019 is a flagship??? It got Android 10 update!! Plus this phone has heavy bloated UI instead of our phone’s naked Android UI. Huawei updated it before the Xiaomi&Google’s Android One phone.
Google should take action about it. Google can suspend Xiaomi’s Android One licence. Xiaomi intentionally not giving any info about promised update and they still didnt gived any OS update. No one wants to buy a lie!
I thought the whole point of the Android One program was to ensure that the phones received timely updates for 2 years, which would include at least 2 OS updates.
Oh guys, calm down. December update for A2 lite isnt even out and you are talking about bad update policy. Once a month we get a security patch and Android Q is guaranteed for our device.
What do you all expect from a phone that costs 150,- (and now even cheaper)?
Buy a Pixel phone if you want beta and stable versions of the latest android.

Don't know if the information is correct but I hope that Android 10 for the Mi A2 Lite isn't very far.
EDIT: Found some news from January 10 about kernel source code release and news from January 11 abrout the update rolling out.
let's pray, that our daisy will get official android Q ASAP

Mi A3 kernel was released 2 months ago and the update was 3 days ago.
Also we didn't get February patch so they either going to release the Feb patch with a10 in a couple of days or they re way behind of schedule. (Even more then before)
Also the update will be most likely just as a buggy mess as the mi a3's update.

I wish i had bought Honor 10 Lite... That phone got Android 10 update months ago.
But Mi A2 Lite will have better longevity then that. Because of the aluminum chassis. Chassis cools components down. I thought about it when i am trying to make decision between them.
Heat is the Enemy of the Longevity.
Also Android 10 provides Thermal API which will help for Longevity too. Thats why i need that Android 10.
Did anyone watch Mi A2 Lite announcement? I did. They make some customizations on hardware to decrease heat.

Its been 6 months (183 days) since Android 10 release. We are still waiting Android 10 update for Xiaomi's Android One device.
Mi A2 Lite supports Project Treble, Xiaomi doesnt have to implement their Miui makeup on Pure Android 10 also theyre still using old 3.x kernel and we're still waiting Android 10 update from Xiaomi.
Is 6 months not enought for lazy Xiaomi devs for Android 10 update?
Xda devs released Android 10 months ago without taking money. So this proves its possible to take updates early.
Then why we are not getting what Android One deserves?? Like Motorola Android One devices?
That lazy company's devs taking money for work. Maybe devs has nothing to do. Their company forcing them to be lazy??
I have a question. Are they doing it intentionally?
My answer is yes. But what for?
1- Xiaomi want to push us to buy fancy Miui phones? Because those phones requires bold wallet. That means more earning for them.
2- This is a company policy??
3- They cant do their planned obsolescence on Pure Android phones??
4- They cant get ads earnings from it.
Because of these reasons we're getting buggy updates, no updates??
Then why Xiaomi selled it as Android One device? To get more earnings???? Yes.
??????
What are we waiting for Xiaomi????
Release that thing!!
The way this company managed it, "Android one" is just a big scam.
At this point if they had given the possibility to install a MIUI, they would have a better figure ...

No more Montly Security Updates for the S8/S8+

Samsung has moved the S8/S8+ from Montly Security Updates to Quartaly Security Updates today. That means, our phones will only be patched every four months and not regulary.
Source: https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb
As you might already know, I only expect the S8/S8+ to be supported till early 2021. After that, it sadly reaches it's end of life, 4 yeara after it's release
Bad news...
Everyone knew it was coming happens every device since day 1. This is not new news. If Samsung had there way end of life would be on release day.
Been keeping an eye out for S10 sales, since that seems to be the last Samsung phone that will keep the headphone jack, but I had been holding off because my S8+ was still getting updates.
Looks like I better up the priority on that.
Need help or suggestions
Ok I am that that GUY! I switched from AT&T to TMobile and want AT&T gone off my phone. I have to reinstall pie anyways, but figured I would go all out now that I can and opportunity presented itself. Need help getting started. Is it worth rooting vs just hiding the ATT Bloatware? I want my phone to be updated also. I am not getting the over the air updates is other reason I want to reinstall or root.
that sucks! im running android 8 oreo right now and im planning to keep my device that way love that firmware (i dont like android 9 looks )
This is my second week using this device and is so awesome i was using an iphone 7 before this screen is amazing ♡ dont miss my iphone at all
