Even though it's pure Android I cannot give it more than 3* because Google doesn't want to implement theming in stock Android and by default everything is too whitish and bright. I would love to get Android 4.4 blacks where notification and settings were all white text on black background.

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Xiaomi Mi A1's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Screen Retention is a major issue.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] ranjodhricky:
I recently had downgraded to Stock Oreo and in Stock Oreo the Screen Brightness on max is very good i can see clearly in the sunlight but in Stock Pie Rom Brightness is little bit low i don't know why there is brightness difference between Oreo and Pie
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] KaaMyA:
They call it "battery optimizations"

LoL.....................
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] ck4376:
Under the sun, need to crank up to max to barely see content on screen.

Can't see anything at 70% brightness which is my default settings.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] manabsac:
My MiA1 is since Sep 2017 and I stopped at Android 8.1.0. Screen brightness is nearly same as new in bright Sun.

I can read the screen quite well (if not better)

No problem for me. I would give MiA1 4/5 stars.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
well then you must have another panel/screen because on my mi a1 outside is terrible to see anything on it, is the only major issue i have with my phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] manabsac:
My MiA1 has GPS problems

I received my MiA1 on September 14, 2017 (in India), one of the first 100 released by Xiaomi (with "Made in India" embossed).

I think it's part of a batch which was made, possibly, with care and high quality components.

Don't laugh, but I KNOW THIS for CERTAIN that Quality Control is SO VARIED from batch to batch in this Current time (past year 2000), that You've to be LUCKY to have a good device.

This is the "Chinese Syndrome" for QC, HAS INFECTED the World. Xiaomi is part of this.

My MiA1 GPS receiver HAS Degraded, the signals received are WEAKER, and often lose the GPS location, particularly inside a car, train (worse), aircraft (worst). You've got to be near the window, glass cover (below car's windshield).

My MiA1 Display is still the Original and Good. I think it's a matter of luck for me. All H/W are performing well ( ex GPS).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
well, my display aint degraded, since the very first day the glass is very very reflective and outdoor, during day time, is hell to read it.

the panel itself is nice, good color, no flickering or issues, no changes during time.

gps for me work fine, but, work better on custom rom compared to stock.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] birdie:
I will rate contrast only as 4 because ... OLED ;) You really have no right to rate IPS panels anything above 4 stars by definition.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Angelictears:
While not as good as oled, I'll say that the A1 has a good contrast. I've enabled software keys on mine and there's very little different of blacks between the software keys and the bottom chin of the phone. Even in low light environments. Called me impressed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] scoobygram:
A1's black is worse than my previous Nexus 5X's black, which is also IPS
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] DieterFohlen:
I had 4 Mi A1 in my hands and 4 total different displays. 2 Takaii, 2 Focal.

1 Focal is brilliant white and superb contrast. 1 Focal is good, good contrast and white is little bit yellowish.

Takaii is pure bull****. You will feel sad having a takaii and seeing a focal. No contrast, totally yellowish and one also greenish.

So this thread means nothing without telling which lcd manifacturer...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] tosmopolitan:
I thought Mi A1 only had either tianma or ilitek displays. I have never heard of takaii or focal displays.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] birdie:
Please remind us how this can be checked/seen?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] ciclolars:
I'm interested in this topic, my Mi A1 has a bit yellow whites and dull blacks in comparison to my Idol 3 5.5 which has a standard IPS panel instead of LTPS IPS. My LCD panel is ilitek, isn't this panel the Focal one? I guess there is another parameter that gives this yellow tint.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] rastamanjohn:
I don't know how to check/test color accuracy. But side to ide with my op5, looks very dull.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] lolmensch:
i also found the colors to be pretty washed out but thought it was because of it being an lcd and not an amoled. I just installed lineage os and you can tune the colors to whatever you like. it certainly looks very different. I am satisfied now. It looks better to me than the note 2 and the lg g5 which are the only devices I can compare it to.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] moodo:
I totally agree. This was the single reason to my for flashing a custom rom. My display is made by Tianma and was calibrated way too cold.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] datasource:
After installing LOS 15.1 and voidkernel i used kernel adiutor to calibrate de colors and saturation. This is my color profile: RGB=237,238,252 Saturation=45.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Rakibboss:
Some more good profile for our device..

Who else have different configuration please share it with us
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
yeah will be nice people able to reach good result, share theyr screen configuration!!!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] moodo:
I don't think that sharing color profiles would be very useful. Mi A1 is a low budget phone with different types of displays from different manufacturers. Each display will have another tint, so you can't really compare color values. My display was very blueish, I had to reduce blue and green in order to get a proper calibrated screen.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
So, maybe you can suggest software/way to calibrate good the display?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] moodo:
There are different ways. You could either flash a custom rom with display adjustment capabilities, like LinageOS or RR. Or you just flash a custom kernel and calbirate the screen with Kernel Adiutor.

it has a software that can change / manipulate the screen "color" output
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] meatloaf42:
Well, it is possible to easily root Mi A1 and then adjust the colour, so I don't see a problem here
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
they have not the same exact display, because both (mi a1 - Mi 5x) can have 2-3 different screen model.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] meatloaf42:
Well yeah, I forgot to mention that. What I meant is that you still get one of these screen models on both devices
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] wawing_b:
yes sir, it is possible..

in my point of view, after a few months my eyes adjust itself to the "color scheme" of the MiA1.. :o

Excellent minimum brightness (for an IPS panel) - I actually was afraid it would be too bright but, no, everything is OK. You might want to use some software dimmer though.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] pshnd:
I'm getting a lot of distortion on earpiece, though not always. Receiver test gives perfectly clear sound, but when I call someone or answer the call sound is loud as hell and distorted. Lowering it down does help a little but it is still bad. At first I thought that it is a hardware issue with speaker but, as I already said, receiver test is perfect, sometimes only tone for ringing on the other side is distorted, and sometimes everything is fine.

No problem with calls over loudspeaker and 3.5mm.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Moycano:
After 2018Feb update the call volume permanently dropped like 80% in my device. And I've been reading in the official forums it happened to a lot of people, but Xiaomi's moderators are denying it or calling it a feature (#$%& #$%&). It's so frustrating that I'm considering replacing Android One with Lineage OS.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Sarzinski:
Call quality is one of those things where you won't get consistent answers because it's depending on too many variables:

- Are you using VoLTE?

- Is your call partner using VoLTE?

- Your Carrier?

- Call partner's carrier?

- Your current signal?

- Call partner's current signal?

To me it seems to be pretty average. I can't say that I have noticed anything unusual about it, neither positive nor negative.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Tiago A:
And also depends how clean your ears are.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] jack_21:
Call quality in loudspeaker mode is ****ty. People can't clearly ear you while you can hear them very good.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] MasterUK:
speaker is too low volume
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Moycano:
I guess this might help you. The post if for the ear speaker but if you need to increase the volume of the bottom speaker is basically the same procedure.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] akikara:
The worst thing about MI A1 is after upgrading the Android version to 9 (PIE) microphone volume is slightly reduced. I have a friend has the same issue. When you call some one, he/she says "your voice is so quite, it is hard to hear and understand what you say".

There might be a bug and need a patch. I was hopping that the MI produces a patch but last two patches (february and january) did not include a fix for that problem.

It is very simple, there is a program called Internet Sharing.

Connect you phone to your computer, then press connect in Internet Sharing, BOOM! your done.

Note: I know on the tilt Internet Sharing doesn't show up on the programs section. You have to open file explorer, go into the windows folder and find it their, I suggest making a shortcut once you do find it.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Leong428:
Coming from a Nexus 5 I noticed the signal strength in the A1 is slightly weaker especially for 4G connections. I'm in Malaysia.

I suspect it's due to the aluminum body. If I hold it with my fingertips instead of a firm grip the signal is better. Did not have this issue with my Nexus 5.

Still, it's good enough for calls and streaming and I haven't had any issues of connections dropping on this device

You have to place the your ear to the speaker at the lowest volume when playing sound to reproduce the issue.

It's like a problem it cannot produce low volume.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] billysam:
Just noticed this and yes, I have it too and I suspect this issue to be present on all of the other devices.

As much as I like and love the sound of the Mi A1, this issue is there with the bottom speaker. although I hardly use the speaker on low volumes, I use headphones for that purpose, had no issue so far with them on Mi A1. well looks like Xiaomi's side effect for boosting the sound on the bottom speakers too much. I am sure that this is a software issue and need minor tinkering, I just hope they don't mess up the great loud output just because this little annoying problem. Can they? Will they?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Fredoslaw:
Simple choice in sound options "loud output vs quality in low volume" would be OK with me, I use low volume most of the time.

at normal/high volume sound is nice and no hissing sound, or at least, not audible.

Anyway i never use the speaker so low so for me the quality is very good.

about hissing sound using headphones. i have 2 headphones, cip one, from others old phones and no hissing sound even at lowest volume.

about this hissing sound, is a new bug from oreo? or was also in naugat? is a software issue or a hardware issue? will be fixed?

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Aiakio:
Hello XDA,

I used to have a Tasker profile on my old HTC One_M8 that automatically enabled Airplane Mode at night, and disabled it again in the morning.

The code to do so was...

Enable Airplane Mode:

settings put global airplane_mode_on 1 ; am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true

Disable Airplane Mode:

settings put global airplane_mode_on 0 ; am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state false

...with SU-rights of course.

Now with my (Dual SIM) U11 this doesnt work anymore. I have a feeling that the problem is there because of DualSIM.

Does anyone know, how i need to modify these above commands to work with my device?
