Thanks

About your post in "Xiaomi Mi A1 issues and missing features for Android 8.0 Oreo December 2017"

I mean from this thread http://en.miui.com/thread-1170089-1-1.html

Then I can work on these

Hi,

I can reproduce this problem right away: disable developer options -> the option to change icons style for the Launcher disappears immediately.

Are you a developer from the Mi A1 dev team? How can I get in touch with them?

01:52, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

You can't get directly contact with dev team

10:13, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

You

Is there a liaison I can communicate with? A PR agent? Anyone close to the dev team?

21:13, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

I don't think so. If you have any issues then I am here to help. You can ask me.

It would be nice to get some feedback from them:

* What bugs are they working on?

* Why do they refuse to enable Camera2API/EIS?

* Does Xiaomi intend to solve Mi A1's low light performance?

* Are feature requests actually accepted? What about removed features, like App Network Access - what was the actual reason it was removed?

* Why are updates published without extensive changelogs like other OEMs do?

* Does anyone from the Mi A1 dev team check these forums for problems?

* How does development actually go on? We, end users, still don't understand how Google and Xiaomi work/interact exactly. Is there any Google's involvement? Do they dictate what Xiaomi can and cannot do in regard to Mi A1's ROM? Who is actually developing the ROM?

* What's the reason Mi A1 doesn't have an FM radio app?

* When can we expect Android 8.1?

* Are gestures considered for inclusion?

* What's the state of QA/QC at Xiaomi? Mi A1 8.0 was released with some critical problems, like malfunctioning ambient notifications - how did this bug managed to slip by QA/QC?

* Will we get back Scheduled Power On/Off? Is it even considered?

* Will white noise issue be resolved or it's a hardware fault which cannot be resolved in software? How come a lot of people hear white noise using BlueTooth? It's supposed to be 100% digital.

* Can be expect any new features beyond stock Android?

Regards,

I know, but as far as I know there's no way to communicate with them.

23:27, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

You

I don't get you. You first said, "ask me", now you say, "there's no way to communicate with them".

If you could ask them and relay the answers that would be OK with me. I just want to get some answers.

23:34, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

I can't contact with dev team too

23:39, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

You

That's weird. You're closing bug reports on their behalf and give statements as if they were issued by them.

Could you please un-resolve these bugs:

http://en.miui.com/thread-1427227-1-1.html

http://en.miui.com/thread-1423594-1-1.html

?

People really want them to be fixed and now there's no chance they'll ever be noticed.

Furthermore I politely request an answer from the dev team next time. I assume you don't have the authority to decide for MI A1 users what a bug is and what's not.

23:47, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

These two were requesting for features, am I right?

23:52, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

There are several section for requesting feature and why you will post in bug section?

23:53, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

As a Bug SF moderator it's my duty to keep these away and stamp irrelevant

23:53, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

If you want this features then why don't you post in the specific section? And I have stamped your three report as "Under discussion" as they are real bugs and big report. Why don't you see them? You can't argue with me. This is simple. You have to understand.

23:57, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

You

http://en.miui.com/thread-1427227-1-1.html is a bug clear and plain.

http://en.miui.com/thread-1423594-1-1.html is a feature which was previously available and then removed.

I've been a major contributor to MI A1 development and QA/QC so far and it's quite unpleasant to see the "Irrelevant" stamp being applied to your posts, especially when dozens of people request them.

Also I see no subforum called "Features" at http://en.miui.com/forum.php?forumlist=1

23:58, Jan-03-2018

----------------------------------------

You

Ah, also this thread: http://en.miui.com/thread-1427578-1-1.html which is also a big feature which was removed and which is highly sought after

"The feature might be removed due to optimization. This is not a bug."

Could you please refrain from giving statements on behalf the Xiaomi dev team without having a first-hand knowledge? I don't want to tell you how to do you job, but clearly you're abusing your moderator's privileges.

00:00, Jan-04-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

So, Do you think that me and other moderators is a Xiaomi employee?

00:03, Jan-04-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

Can you mark what's wrong in my work? Can you mark them separately please? I will check what's wrong in my work. Your suggestions are always accepted ????

00:04, Jan-04-2018

----------------------------------------

You

That's exactly my point!

You're working with a bug tracker as if you were a Xiaomi employee. They get valuable feedback based on their bug tracker and you basically decide for users what kind of feedback Xiaomi receives. People request quite important removed features back. People see quite annoying bugs.

You simply come and shut down everything, so that Xiaomi is not even aware of its users utmost needs. This doesn't look nice at all. What's more you're seemingly not even in a possession of MI A1 device.

00:07, Jan-04-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

No, I meant what's wrong in my stamping. You were always complaining about that. May I know what's wrong here? As I have said earlier your valuable suggestions are always accepted.

00:15, Jan-04-2018

----------------------------------------

You

How can I be sure that they are accepted when they are marked "Solved" and "Irrelevant" simultaneously? That doesn't make any sense.

None of the bug reports that I've posted so far is "irrelevant" and few are actually solved.

00:17, Jan-04-2018

----------------------------------------

mahbub_asif

"Solved" and "fixed" stamp is different.

00:21, Jan-04-2018

----------------------------------------

You

Common sense hints that "Solved" and "Irrelevant" bug reports will never reach Xiaomi's ears or eyes. Also some of my bug reports are closed, so you actually prohibit people from expressing their wishes and considerations. That's simply unacceptable. You see that bug reports rightfully gather a lot of attention, yet you simply decide on users' behalf what's good of bad for them.

And that's all happening without any Xiaomi's feedback as if they don't give a damn about its users and this bug tracker is simply a waste of my time and resources.

00:26, Jan-04-2018

To be followed.
