[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
What do you actually expect? This device is stable, performs well seeing its specs, has pretty much stock Android and gets monthly security updates? I seriously don't understand what's wrong with how things are going. Even the fact that Xiaomi is doing more than they should've when it comes to the initial Android One promises made by Google seems to be completely irrelevant to some. The Android One program when we got our devices was clear in the fact that we would get "1 major update" and "several smaller (security) updates" at a pace of choice by the manufacturer and with a rollout time of up to 2 weeks.

As far as I see we got even more because we got monthly updates not just several, already got 1 major update with the promise of a second and we even got the minor .1 update which they shouldn't have given. As far as I see this is a pretty decent Android One device that's overal stable and still performant and being well supported, especially for a device of about 200euros. If people expect Pixelgrade they should spend Pixelmoney, That's just how it is imho :).

And when it comes to the new devices, what do you guys expect? That a manufacturer will give priority to older devices? Xiaomi (and others) is still in the business of making money, not charity. I had the OnePlus2 so if you guys want to talk about horrible software support: irregular and poor updates that always broke something, only 1 major update even though N was promised, ... That's horrible support. Ah also, we got Oreo on our Mi A1 way before most flagship phones, doesn't that count for something as well?

Last but not least, if you want to compare to Nokia, let's talk about how well they are handeling custom ROMS, our devices will receive updates and have stable options well after official support stops. With a Nokia, not so easy. So every device has its up-/downsides.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ritik99:
I didn't say that I am disappointed with this phone. And about update, Android One guidelines says 2yrs of regular updates, so P will be coming anyways, they aren't doing any favor.

Maybe Your country doesn't have a proper competitive market, Even Asus M1 pro receives regular bimonthly updates and you should actually see the changelog, and Asus has actually even promised 2 Android update, i.e P and Q( my friend has one), so Xiaomi isn't actually giving anything special to be thankful (expect for 8.1, even though every Android One device recieved it earlier ). And particularly in India ₹15k price segment is pretty much filled with a good competition right now. And about Nokia, 2 Android update is already promised, and they actually give Camera2 API and other useful things enabled by default, and now a days people usually change phone after 3 yrs.

Peace
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ltf_195:
I don't understand why you comparing those Nokia and Asus phone, those phones are difference release date than Mi A1, you should compare them to Mi A2.

You paid once and they give you free update, stop complaining about the quality of the update. There're a lot of custom rom available, they are the real developer,they have change log, software update and everything that make you happy, give them some donation and support them.

The only things that I'm complaining is this community, fill with crying kids. As soon as August Security Patch release, they start asking about Sept Security patch, as soon as 8.1 release, there are people already asking about Android P. Seriously, wtf wrong with this community? As December approaching there will more & more people crying about android P, soon it will fill every single post until year end, I can almost hear people complaining about android P delay/bugs/unstable/battery drain...

I've been using phone that worst than this phone before, but the community is not even like this. There are not really useful information/discussion on every threat without someone mentioning about how bad this device is. Just stop complaining on every thread.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ritik99:
I am not complaining here about anything, i just gave my view. And I also don't like people who keep crying, they are spammer, but I didn't ask or say about ETA or anything, I just gave a review, if you don't like it, its not my problem, and I am out of this discussion, as we know we are actually spamming this thread as it is made for some other purpose.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ltf_195:
Wow, you are allowed to give your opinion, but cannot take criticism? Wow, just wow...

Its not about I'm like it or not, but your view by comparing phones with difference release date is totally misleading. You have to make correction. This not only useless information but also misleading information that flooding the device threads.

Why are you leaving? We're talking about update here. Why dont you get custom rom? Those developers have smaller community, easier for you to voice out what kind of update you want. While Xiaomi on the other hand, have to manufacture, sell and update the phone. Yes, you still get the update but in low quality because this is a midrange phone, you not suppose to received high quality update.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] freekarol:
Custom ROM is not always reliable. Not everything must work properly...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ritik99:
Agreed. I have even bricked my last device because of a simple error I did.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Because I never wanted to start this argument. I just wanted to reply on part that Treble does not help in giving security patch. And my 2nd part was about why a person is getting criticised if he says he got sept. On last day of sept.( Because Xiaomi isn't implementing anything new, the 8.1 we have is final and still i took them almost a month provide update.)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] riccetto80:
people can we back to talk about last update instead of the usual discussion about xiaomy being terrible bad because update are a little slow? im interested to know if September patch have bugs/issue, not again this kind of discussion.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] goreprasad:
Hope they enabled quick charge or fast charge at least :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] riccetto80:
what is all this desperation about have quick or fast charge?

quick/fast charge wear faster the battery, and i believe anywhere you can find a electricity plug or a computer with a usb port to recharge the phone for 20/30 minutes and give him juice to reach the end of the day.

so why you and other need so much this quick charge?

Seriously i dont understand... also power bank are extremely cip and anywhere... is really a issue have to spend 30/50 minuts more to do a full charge because there is not quick charge?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] goreprasad:
I am talking about Mi A1, It takes nearly 2 hours to charge fully with any charger and it will take 4 hours when u charge it with computer with USB port and nobody wants to carry power banks, and SOC supports the same. So i need the faster charging speed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flash-User:
Forget Dash charger in this case, this is a Qualcomm SOC with QuickCharge, if you want speed up your charge then you've to use a QuickCharge adapter.

Dash charge transfers the charge technology in the wall adapter. Quick charge leaves the charge technique in the smartphone.

But i'm not really sure if xiaomi unlocked QuickCharge for the MI1 now.

But i got 1.5 hours charging times with my Mi A1 and the stock adapter too.

Will we get 8.1 Android Update? We are "promised" with 2 Major Updates. What is the definition of "Major" updates? We started from 7.1.2 then we got 8.0.0. If 8.1 is a Major update in Xiaomis' dictionary then we will not see Android P. lol, jk.

Some are receiving February update with Android 8.0.0 but android 8.1 has been in the wild for long now and even nokia's Android One phones are shipping with 8.1.

What's going on?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JockeSve:
1. Getting 8.1? => Most likely (personal opinion!)

2. When? => Withing reasonable time (My phone works fine with 8.0 so I don't get the fuzz. At all!)

3. Whats going on? => Probably many new phones that takes majority of dev-team time...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yeah, there's nothing wrong besides some minor things, I am rocking 8.0 and it's solid so far. But not delivering what you said you would grinds some people's gears. I mean they did miss the targeted February update and released Android 8.0.0 on like the last day of December as they "promised" so yeah, their credibility diminishes in the eyes of the consumers.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JockeSve:
Where on earth do You find the official statement the Xiaomi will deliver "monthly updates" to A1???

The earlier statement was "Regular updates"... I haven't seen any official about monthly.

Android One statement:

Source: https://www.android.com/one/
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
Monthly security updates are required to keep the device safe and secure from possible harmful software. If you go to your About phone, you'll see an Android security patch level. Security patches are delivered monthly via Android Security Bulletins. At least monthly security updates should be given priority as we're in the Android One program.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JockeSve:
Totally agree to frequency as such!

But even Android One program refers to "Regular updates" not "Monthly updates". (link in earlier post)

That makes it quite hard to put formal demand/requirement towards Xiaomi to require the monthly updates.

Of course I'd like to see the updates to be sent out more often...
