i am on february pach OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.4.0, received it few days ago, no problems atm, i was under the impresion that battery is not as good as january but now i checked and i am on 4h SOT, 1d2h since last charge and 40% stil left, its not bad imo, and i think that sensor in call problem is gone, i didnt expirence it in last few days.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nycionx:
Well I don't know why my A1 has these issues. Do I need to factory reset for every update? Seems absurd to do such a thing but at this point I'll try anything. TIA

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

Wow ur lucky with battery! How can I get this setup? Do I need to like start fresh somehow? Twrp wipe everything and then flash stock rom? I'm relatively newb btw so I have no clue much about androids or twrp, just on the surface.

But I most importantly need good battery life! Some advice would be appreciated thanks ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikola_zr:
keep in mind that this is all on wifi, or at least 90% of time was on wifi! Good battery and wanting to try clean android is the reason i got this phone. I dont know exactly what you can do, i didnt do anything special, when i got the phone (about 20 days ago) i instaled updates that was given to me and last was oreo with january patch, i didnt do factory reset because it was fresh instal and the device wasnt used before that, few days ago i recieved that february patch and thats it, my understanding is that you do factory reset only after big updates, and maybe not even than if everything is ok, but it doesnt needed to be done after monthly security patches for sure. i am also noob about rooting, moding, flashing etc so i dont touch around too much :D
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nycionx:
I got my phone also like you 1 month ago and did the OTA updates to January but it always had bad battery. Alot of people also complaining still about the battery drain issue. Do you think maybe some of us got a bad batch of the phones and people like yourself got a good one? Maybe it's a factory defect thing and I need to return it? I hope not though but it's starting to appear that way.. My battery acts like a 600mah one :(

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikola_zr:
cant tell you about bad batch, really dont know, but it can depend on many things, like your screen brightness, i keep my usualy on 50-60% with adaptive brightness on, i see on your ss that you are using your network data not wifi this also impact battery alot, in the end maybe you just instaled some app that is causin this drainge, check for that also.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] airidosas252:
UPDATE:

Latest 8.3.13 beta has been really really good. Man, the battery life is outstanding now. Over 24h off the charger with 4h of SOT and still 50% left. I love my phone even more now.

I haven't got any issues with sensors. Calls are working properly, screen dims out when I place earpiece to my ear.

I still wish that fingerprint scanner could be a tiny bit faster, but that's about all I can ask.

Yes my mobile data connection is always on so? This can't be reason to deplete battery so fast as I'm not using my phone so much (SOT). Now it's at 64% and says 1hr 10 of Screen usage since full charge. So bad...

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Sure but not THIS bad right? What am I supposed to do? Keep data connection always off and turn on only when I need it? That's no life man... My old Lumia 640 had great battery life 1.5 days and data connection was always on!

I think I got a bad batch, unless someone has another theory..

Hey folks

Google Play services 12.5.18 (090408-188802357) beta (052)

Usually when selecting updates from apkmirror website - the 480dpi version is the desired one for our Mi A1 ?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] airidosas252:
It's clearly some app draining your battery.

Facebook, Messenger, Snapchat, Google Services and usual social stuff do drain lots of battery power. You can check, which apps eats your battery juice easily with apps mentioned above.

Also you can do fresh install, and from then on start installing your daily apps one by one and look, how's the battery life. You can even wipe the cache, for instance, if something is going wrong (TWRP recovery will come in handy here).

It's funny, how much you can do to improve battery life.

If nothing above actually helps, it might be something wrong with your phone. Experiment. :)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ГАСООП:
Mi

Nothing. Apart from the security patch there is no difference
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] airidosas252:
There are some improvements under the hood, which most users won't notice.

But for the most part it's the same deal, apart from improved battery life.

Also it seems that with stock camera quality has marginally improved, I've checked some samples before and after. Difference is there, but pretty much negligible.

The bug with phone app has been fixed (when you want end a call, nothing responds to touches). Now everything's fine.

Bluetooth works great. I'm using MyKronoz4 smartwatch on a daily basis and no significant drain yet. Simply put - it works every time and without a hitch.

What this phone really needs is screen saturation adjustment. Thanks to custom kernel, I was able to make colors way more punchier, similar to what AMOLED screens do naturally. By default, colors are really dull and lifeless, but with some adjustment this issue is resolved once and for all.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'm sorry if this is asked before but I'm a bit confused, tell me, is the March update pushed out via OTA or is it still in beta testing?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Olystem:
It's Still in Beta ..

Wait 2-3 Days Or I think They Will Provide March Update in April
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] airidosas252:
It's beta.

There are some issues with this phone, clearly Oreo was rushed out sooner than neccesary, that's why they are having so many delays.

I've read somewhere, that they are working on it pretty hard. I can contact them for additional information.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Oh thanks.

Ah I see what you did there :laugh:

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

At this point I am not worrying about the updates as much as I am worrying about the phone should just work fine. Xiaomi has totally lost it's credibility for me. There is no truth to this but I am pretty sure Xiaomi doesn't know how to work with AOSP or AOSP is simply not their priority as MIUI is. A1 is probably a product for them to get themselves into other markets. Whatever the case may be I just want this Android One device to have a good OS I can use reliably that's all. Android P also looks to have a bleak future for A1.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
To be honest, I think the February update is being delayed because of bug reports being reported by users from India. They have lots of bugs that I think is network related (looking at you, Jio) and not related to the ROM. Users have made several 1 star reviews on the Google Phone app because of the issues made by the Jio network and it probably caused the removal of compatibility with the Mi A1. We do not experience issues with the Phone app here in the Philippines but sadly, the update is delayed still cause it's a Global ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That's what pisses me off the most . Because of their problem we have go over apkmirror and all this.. I hadn't a single problem with the google phone..

i agree this phone isnt as reliable as my previous phone ( a Windows phone if u can imagine). biggest problem is the battery, and also the proximity sensors are fuked up, they turn on/off when they please during a call and it does random sh1t on my phone, annoying (only current workaround is to turn off the display during every call *sigh*). but the battery is just baaad.... i really wonder wtf they "fix" in these updates. maybe theres no change log cuz nothing fuking changes, i havent noticed a thing change since the january update! some ppl report positive experiences and some negative. so we have some defective phones then or what? i dont know what to believe anymore about this phone, im loosing my faith in it. but i paid 230 euros for it so i gotta learn to live with it now.. i wonder if it would be better to install some custom rom? would it change much? for better or worse??
