Android 8.1 oreo is rolling out with june security patch

Changelog

★ Security patch level updated to june 5 2018

★ improve stability and performance

★ The Power Menu is also an area where you would immediately*notice the visual changes

★ The search option at the top of the setting, unlike the button present earlier, has now blown into a full-fledged search bar

★ Also, you’ll notice that the notification panel and other things like some screen overlays have a slight tint of the color of the wallpaper you have. This is possible because of the new wallpaper colors API which lets apps send color information to the system UI

★ WiFi speed labels

It is one of the useful Android 8.1 features that many users would love. The list of available WiFi networks now shows whether the network is fast or slow by displaying ‘labels’ (Very fast, fast, OK, slow) below the name of the wireless network. This would help Android 8.1 users find fast WiFi networks with ease

The network labels can be disabled by visiting*Settings > Network & Internet > WiFi > WiFi Preferences > Advanced > Network rating provider. Choose*None

★ Another subtle change you’ll notice in Android 8.1 is in the status bar. The icons displayed in the status bar have rounded corners

★ Notifications shade has become translucent giving a slight peak of what’s behind it

★ Theme will change according to your wallpaper e.g dark for dark and light for light

★ Android 8.1 Oreo’s easter egg is an animated Oreo biscuit that turns into something else after several taps. You can check out what’s new this time by tapping the version number multiple times

★ Default app now show first in app & notification settings

★ Devices running Android 8.1 can now display the battery level of Bluetooth-connected devices such as headphones, speakers, etc. The battery status is visible in the Notifications panel, tied to the Bluetooth icon. The Bluetooth menu also shows the battery percentage of the devices

★ As a part of the Android 8.1 features set, the apps now can only play one notification sound per second. So, even if you receive 50 WhatsApp messages (for instance, when you connected to the network after a few hours), there will only be one notification sound for all of them

★ Android Oreo’s smart text selection has received improvements in copy and paste tasks. When you long press a text, it automatically highlights the relevant words and suggests further actions

WARNING DO NOT CLEAR THE GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK DATA IT WILL EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM

Will mi a1 get android P as xiaomi has already rolled out 2 major software updates ??
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThiagoACbr:
What's the problem with the sound? I've updated my device to 8.1 today and I didn't notice the low volume. I'm not saying the problem does mot exist, maybe I've got used to it.

Is the problem with the speakers or with using headphones too?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] a.luqmanhakim:
For me, the low volume is fixed in this new update. ? The volume was surely increased but not to the extent of the April update which is slightly higher.

8.1 isn't a major release.

Yes it seems that update is again suspended. Lits if user reporting that after reebokt update is no longer available. Before start bashing Xiaomi pixel phones also have lots of problems when a new update is released. Im starting to wonder if Google is not seriously trashing updates...

Ive read all the comments and im still not sure if i should update or not, cause as always, there are users with no problems and others full of them. So help me here, update or wait?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mardrest:
You can backup the sms and update. I've updated and so far no problems

Some people are facing wipe of sms, so better backup them
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Personally I updated and the only issue was that the device was not certified on the Play Store. After a reboot it's certified again. I updated right when the update came out and I didn't know about the messages thing but it didn't affect me and the messages were left intact.

I liked the new UI aesthetic and I think the update was worth it since it fixed some more things as well and added new features.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] solis_f:
Is anyone getting this in default apps? :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] antonioli84:
I didn't have problems with sms lost but my wife's Mi A1 had. But knowing that I did the backup and it's fine. The weird thing is that I saw all sms in her A1 and all of sudden everything was gone in front of my eye. It's some bug that they need to fix.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] RyckuuXyu:
SafetyNet appears to be broken. Not sure how it will impact the device, however.

UPD: Tried a few diffrent SafetyNet test apps. All, but one pass it. So, idk

Never rooted this Phone, all stock, so here is my experinece:

. SMS still here

. Home screen icons look smaller

. Some apps look slower

. Call me crazy but low light shots look slightly less noisy

. Not seeing the announced signal strenght on WiFi connections

Thats all for now
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] birdflesh:
I too lost my SMS and managed to recover everything by using quickshortcutmaker and running the activity below

Application: Android Setup

Activity: Android Setup

Package/Class: com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.deferred.DeferredSetupWizardActivity

This started the setup wizard that at some point allows to recover SMS saved on a Google drive backup without having to reset the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] martins2000:
It warms up more, it can be felt by the sensor, a weak update

No issues here. Same as 8.0.

I didn't get the update...

I got it last night... But i downloaded only 500 mb of it... After that when i woke up today I was left with the old 8.0... n now when I'm refreshing the update list, I'm getting "your system is up to date":confused::crying:

2. my phone quite warm even idle state (non root + gps high accuracy + auto sync)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kaminasama:
on some games performance is very poor:

1.- on Pokémon Go the GPS accuracy its gone! can't find my position

2.-on Angry Birds Tranformers when select caracter box for upgrade,the app have a huge lag and some effects like explotions or lighting bolts stops 1-2 seconds the game.

the battery performance is good but with this graphics errors present on last OTA, I'm will roll back to 8.0
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] phileps:
Try to restart your Phone. Same happened to me but after a restart the update was installed

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Or maybe you could offer some constructive criticism on why the update is bad and what should be fixed. A lot of things that were bugged on 8.0 were fixed with this update and I was pretty happy with it. Didn't encounter any issues mentioned by other users except for the Safetynet thing that was fixed with just a reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] taurnilf:
Wasn't able to check the SMS issue because I did a reset right after the update.

Works well so far. GCam still working with 8.1.

1. Lost SMS: True, annoying!

2. SafetyNET: Fails but everything I use works fine.

3. Treble support: No real issue, never promised to A1!

Edit:

I'm quite sure the corrected patch with proper kernel and SafetyNET fix will be distributed soon, but all lost SMS are still gone for good... :(

Because why yes? If they modify only build.prop, users will complain that some features of API2 are not working, secondary zoom camera is not accessible directly = further development is required. And for what gain? Just because bunch of users want to use unofficial build of Google camera? If you need it, enable it yourself. There are several ways how to do it.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pshnd:
What mistakes? Treble was never promised (and I'm not sure if any phone with chipset older than SD630 will be supported), nor it's mandatory for them to provide Camera2Api enabled phones. As it's already said, if you don't like it and you didn't inform yourself before buying this phone, get something else and stop spaming this thread with your ignorance.

And if you lost your SMS or something else, again it's your fault as you had to jump on the early vagon. You could wait as every upgrade has some issues in the first wave. Even bloody Apple has some minor or greater issues with every upgrade!

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] h3r0n:
Treble would be useful a lot, but it was never promised, so we can't really complain.

We could complain about missing API2 because the default camera app doesn't use it. But enabling it without support from any official app it would be just useless.

We should complain because the updates shortened the battery life. With November Nougat builds I consistently got ~7h of SOT. Now my A1 barely gets to 4-5h with Android 8.0 and 8.1.

We should complain about the hissing sound with earphones. This problem was never addressed despite this phone was sold as an high quality music player.

We had to complain because they violated the GPL by not releasing the source code in time.

We will have to complain if they won't release Android P builds as promised.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] solis_f:
It's true that xiaomi is not competend enough with the updates. Everytime something gets fixed and another thing breaks. But you really should not have so much expectations from a phone that costs 150€. At least that's what I do. See the bright side, a lot of phones, many times more expensive than this do not get so many updates such as this phone. It's not that I'm defending xiaomi or something. I agree that the updates are not good enough in terms of bugs. But I'm still happy that this dirt cheap phone gets some updates. Just take a look on the update schedule of LG G6 since its release and you will understand what I mean

I lost my data on May update once but Thanks alot this time to you for your quick response... Can you please share any method to root it then without getting data wiped...!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] msrowley:
While I fully agree with you, that features like treble and camera2api would be very nice to have, but never promised, so none can blame Xiaomi for that, I think that you are completely mistaken blaming a user for being an "early wagon jumper" for installing a stable update that rolled out officially as an OTA. They are two different things, expectations that were never promised, and always excusing a company's unreliable and buggy software updates that lead to user data loss. If you accept your data to be lost or your device to not work as advertised, because it costs $150, then we deserve nothing but buggy software from the companies. They could just pull the OTA, it's just that simple, but they didn't. This unfinished 8.1 software update is still available!! Now that's an amateur move, which doesn't respect their users, not the delayed updates or project treble support and other stuff that were never promised. I hope that you can understand the difference... Sorry for the off topic!

The 8.1 deleted my sms, but Damm, my SoT is so perfect
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] paolocorpo:
After two days from the update I continue to have two problems

1. popups that arrive in a burst but only once or twice a day

2. when the phone is suspended (which happens after 2 minutes of inactivity) I can not reactivate it with the fingerprint but only with the pwr key (before the update at 8.1 it did)

The update took place this way:

0. The phone had the unlocked bootloader + Magisk with various modules

1. I downgraded to the March patch using Mi Flash and the image created by sipollo (the one that avoids re-locking and data loss)> boot with my apps and data

2. I received an upgrade proposal to 8.1 June (so only one step and not many intermediate ones)> executed> boot to the 8.1 system with my apps and data

3. I have flashed (from temporary TWRP) Magisk

4. Due to the presence of two modules not adapted to 8.1 (Radio and Xposed) I could not boot the system

5. From Temporary TWRP I then flashed Mount Magisk to edit (under TWRP) the boot image of Magisk going to delete the folders of the two offending modules

6. Boot to the 8.1 system with my apps and data

7. I have reworked the appropriate versions of the two Radio and Xposed modules

What do you recommend?

I must honestly say that the speech of the imprint is perhaps not bad ... when it is only suspended it is better that the imprint does not reactivate it because I happen to have it in my hand and it could happen not wanting

But the popups bother me ... those NO!

Thank you

Question regarding New Update

Hello guys,

I want to know that if anybody has installed this new update. If yes then is there any issue or difference they are getting after installing the latest update.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] slawa:
Why would you do it after they pulled the update?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] d14r1:
It's one step fwd, two steps back with Xiaomi, they fix some, the brake some..

1. SMS deleted;

2. APN deleted;

3. ****y contrast directly on daylight-still there;

4. Scrolling on FB, Twitter and other social apps is much worse;

5. Fingerprint scanner seems slower (when device is on sleep-screen off);

6. Occasional signal loss-there

+ Battery standby is phenomenal (depletes 1-2% throughout the night)

+ Better low light photos

+ Launcher up to date with dark theme (when dark wallpaper is set)

+ Better more eye candy toast messages (attributed to 8.1)

Was gonna buy A2 when available, now don't now anymore.

Just my 2¢
