Battery drain is worse after the April update on my dual sim setup. It has increased from 20 to 30% to about 40% battery drain overnight. I don't think they'll ever fix this since the Pie users who are experiencing this battery drain are just a minority of Pie users out there. This is a cross-device issue btw. so this doesn't seem to be Xiaomi's fault.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] taurelio:
Mine seems to have improved. I totally discharged battery, than full charge with phone turned off and problem seems to have been solved. Its my experience btw

Thank you, that's important detail.

Maybe the problem trigger for unhappy users like denisval is related to the specific operator or operators combination.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
Does it work in all countries ? Because I haven't ever seen the Volte sign in my Mi A1.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
1) It is not about countries, but supporting operators. What is your country / operator?

2) You must first activate VoLTE by dialing *#*#86583#*#* (*#*#VOLTE#*#*).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
My operator is Cosmote (Greece) & Volte is enabled.

In Poland, Orange disable voLTE for Xiaomi phones three weeks ago
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] barrack1:
Ok tried in Stock Nov '18 and it works for 1 sim, not sure if 2 sim volte works.

It should be working in all countries for 1 sim, I think the Pie update made it work for 2 sims. I also entered *#*#4636#*#*. Then you will be a HD icon on the status bar. And your network settings will show the "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" setting. You need a 4G LTE sim card, and be in a location where there is 4G coverage.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
I have 4G SIM & sign coverage in my location. I dialed the above code & appears some menu but nothing happened... Maybe depends by operator this function.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] BtB:
This is wrong, as someone else already explained, your operator has to enable VoLTE on your line too for this to work. For example in France, operators usually only enable it only on phones they pretend to have validated, arguing that there is no consistent implementation of VoLTE among phone builders, and guess what, you get VoLTE only on expansive phones you bought from them (iPhones, Samsung S[put the latest number], Huawei P[put the latest number], etc...).

I have 2 lines, I managed to lure one of my operators to activate VoLTE and that line works, the other one won't work because my opreator is actively checking the phone type (ie I had that SIM in my work iPhone, but once I put it in my A1, VolTE stoped working).

So the code is not some kind of black magic that will solve it all, it only remove the checks on the phone side, not on the operator side.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andreas_Chronopoulos:
Does anyone else have horrible 4g problem? Even though coverage is full i keep losing calls. Is there a way to solve it with a custom rom for noobies?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] BtB:
I've had a number of missed calls lately, not sure if this is due to last update or spotty coverage though... If there are several of us then maybe there is a bug...

I am using YouTube app without any problem.

BTW to say "My phone has significant lag issues on YouTube" without specifying if you are using mobile data or wifi, or what is lagging (sound behind video, or something else) is not enough. Do you have stock ROM?

Luckily i made a TWRP backup of my 8.1. I'm going to use that November last 8.1 rom because i have terrible battery, terrible signal reception, terrible mic volume and also because GCam doesn't focus.

I disabled automatic updates and will stay on 8.1 until Xiaomi will really take care about this device.

Plus, i'll never buy a Xiaomi Android One phone again. They focus only on MIUI and that's the result.

Don't Worry Flash Custom ROM Which You Want.

Don't Use The Stock One With Magisk.

Or If You Want To Use Stock ROM.

Download The Latest Stock ROM From Mi Site And Flash Via Mi Flash Tool.

Don't Forget to Take a Backup.

This process will erase all Of your Data Also Internal Will Be Wiped.

You Can Search On YouTube How To Flash Latest Stock ROM Android Pie On Mi A1 Via Mi Flash Tool. Go for The Latest One Video Like 2019 Feb March Or April.

Thanks, what about your system has been destroyed message? Will I keep on getting that message?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
I had the same problem. The one solution is while you have flashed the twrp, then to reflash (if you have already flashed) the Magisk & see if you can boot to recovery. Because this solution in the latest time didn't help me the safest method is to download the latest version twrp version in IMG file (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/tissot/twrp-3.3.0-2-tissot.img) & run it via fastboot (adb). Now when you are in twrp then you have the ability to flash the img file of twrp with the new choice "Install Recovery Ramdisk" while with older versions of twrp you couldn't. Now you have access in twrp without the annoying message "System Destroyed" & if you have problem to reboot in system because automatically boots in recovery then flash the Magisk & you won't have any problem.

I am on april pie stock rom never rooted or anything. I wanted to ask

1. Unlocking the boot loader, will it wipe data. Will the volume key trick prevent data wipe on pie.

2. If I boot into twrp will it wipe data. Is there a way to prevent that.

3. Will the data wipe happen every time I boot in twrp. What is an easy way to back up and restore.

4. Before I do anything I want to make a Complete backup of all rom and data. What is the best of methods that can be restored incase of trouble.

Answer as per pie and recent security patch.

6. There are guides but most are for Oreo. Can anyone provide link for unlocking boot loader, booting twrp, installing g cam on latest PIE without disturbing the system so updates still install. (and without data wipe, if possible).

7. Mi flash tool can it do back up. How and what. Any link that explains this.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] EDG_:
R1: Yes, it will prevent data wipe.

R3: Once you unlock bootloader, your data will be wiped only the first time you boot into TWRP. After that, everything will be ok.

R6: There is a thread for every issue you mention in this point.

Every other issue surely has been answered but, obviously, you need to read a lot.

Personal impression is that this is only/mainly Google security patches.

Most likely this is what we can expect the rest of the life-cycle of this phone..

Xiaomi's interest of A1 is fading quickly, and that's nothing unusual or unique.

Google has nothing to do with this Phone. Google only provides the "base file" (let's call it this way) to Xiaomi and then Xiaomi performs the desired modifications, if any. It is provider's responsibility to update the phone, not Googles.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
The battery drain issue on dual sim started after the Android Pie update. At first I thought it was Xiaomi until I googled for other devices having the same issue and was confronted with the fact that it's cross-device. You can't tell me that Xiaomi is responsible for fixing something that is clearly due to Android Pie and is happing on multiple devices even outside Xiaomi's productline. Xiaomi provides monthly security updates and released two major updates (while they only needed to provide one according to the original Android One guidelines), I think they've done pretty well so far. This time it's Google that dropped the ball. However, I've been reading up on dual sim related issues on Android Pie and it appears that Google is working on (active) dual sim functionality with the means to improve its internal workings for the next major release. Because at this point the Pixel 3 cannot do active dual sim for example. So it appears they are aware that duals sim is not working as good as it should.

If I hit the recent items button there are no things listed there. For example I'm writing this in the XDA app. I hit that button and it says there are no recent apps.

Anyone else having this issue: since the April update the camera app constantly pops open when I hit the power button. I'm just pressing it once, not twice. It's very annoying.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nizamani:
I have that problem from first day I purchased this mobile, I always keep camera's gesture disabled
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
It is interesting how different are our observations. I think that the reason could be difference in power buttons sensitivity or shaking hands.

I have the same problem with this gesture when I got my phone year and a half ago, so I disabled it. But later with updates this problem disappeared, I checked periodically if they rectified it with updates.

I haven't this problem. I invoke with this gesture Google Camera.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nizamani:
I think it is hardware problem, it never resolved with any update on my Mi A1

It could be for you, but do not conclude that everyone else is affected too. The very same problem has my Nexus 5X and it was rectified with updates too.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
I had it once in the past and then it was gone, since the April update it's back so I assume my issue is software related. Or the button is already showing wear and tear but that would be a little quick.

The only funny that I've seen, and I can't be 100% sure that it is related to the recent update, is that the "skip to next track" on my bluetooth car-kit no longer works.
