Oh, my bad, It 's from October 2017 indeed. Indeed 1 year and 3 months. Still I think that's an acceptable margin of loss.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredoslaw:
I noticed battery drain on Pie. Specifically while using dual SIM. I always turn off internet before night. On Oreo it used to drain no more than 2% overnight. Now it drains more than 10% on dual SIM. If i disable one SIM card it drains like before - no more than 1-2% overnight. That bigger energy consumption on dual SIM results in necessity of charging everyday, and with Oreo I used to every 2 or 3 days.

PS. My battery is just fine, AccuBattery says its at 90%.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
If you have it in offline mode, then do you observe battery drain in overnight ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredoslaw:
Like I wrote, 1-2% in single SIM, and over 10% in dual SIM.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
That's interesting because I use dual SIM as well.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
This is not surprising because you do not have the same operators or the same signal reception. There are many factors that can affect your consumption.

In offline mode, isn't it like to not use any of the both sims ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
I can do with a little more battery usage like it was on Oreo but 30 to 40% overnight is just ridiculous. I'm probably going to do a clean install one of these days and then set my settings and install my apps again one by one to see if I can find a specific cause.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Herdkilling:
Pie with dual SIM.

When I go to sleep, I turn off sync, data and WiFi, it drains 1% or 2% after about 8 hours.

Take a look at the attachment and take in consideration that both SIM are active the whole day and I'm only connected to WiFi when I'm home.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredoslaw:
Lucky you.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
I did a clean install but to no avail. A Google search however seems to indicate that we are not the only ones with a dual sim setup on Android Pie having this issue. I hope this gets resolved because, after the LTE issues, I'm getting quite fed up with horrible software ruining this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JockeSve:
Strange but my A1 doesn't have any issues with battery drain with two SIM-cards.

Boths sims are Telenor. Could this have any impact?

After 9hrs on desk it has lost only approx 10% battery and still there is approx 15 mins usage (that's not shown on battery stats...).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] jack_21:
My problem with Pie is the poor signal connection in difficult areas where Oreo was working good

Also WiFi + Bluetooth bug

What about February patch?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
It has now been a week since a complete fresh install and I'm still losing a lot of battery, especially at night. When I put it on "do not disturb" at night I loose about 20%, when I don't it can be up to 30 or even 40%.

This is insane, first I had no 4G and now my battery is draining. I contacted the store where I bought it and their solution was to downgrade to Oreo, I'm sorry but that's not a solution to the problem. But even they admit that, when contacting Xiaomi when something goes wrong, they are ignored just as much as we are.

I really loved this phone but I'm starting to resent Xiaomi for what they've done on the software side. It's just not performing well on the most basic tasks, which are reception and battery. I don't play games, don't use heavy apps, ... I don't have high standards for this midrange phone but I would at least expect it to get me through the day.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkCowMoo:
Pie is working perfectly for me except the GCAM focus and low microphone volume. Battery life is of the charts (I charge every 2 days).

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] jack_21:
Read one post above
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucky-thirteen:
Actually i also have zero problems with 10.0.4.0 official. I even came back to Stock from Pixel Experience which had some minor problems (like SIM Card temporarily not detected after switching to flightmode and back.)

Call Volume, Wifi, Bluetooth (also with car stereo), 4G, Battery life (SOT 5-7h)... everything works as it should for me.

But i don't use VoLTE to be honest.

The autofocus issue is in fact annoying, but it's a third party app which even requires fastboot system modification . so i don't see it as Xiaomi's problem.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bzaina:
I don't think Xiaomi even care about autofocus problem.

Turned off adaptive battery and now my battery is draining a lot less overnight. Managed to go from 30 to 40% overnight to about 10%. Still not great but a lot better (January update, haven't tried February yet). I don't know if other people with the same issue can confirm that disabling adaptive battery improves on the issue with them as well?

Pe ce retea esti coane Fanica?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
No, sorry, your are an exception. It is all about applications you have installed. If you have problem even with stock ROM after factory reset without any installed third party apps then send your phone to the service centre. There is no other options. It can be caused, for example, by conductive dirt in the USB connector.

I never have better battery consumption than with adaptive battery in Pie, period.

What about gcam auto focus on february update?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:

- VoLTE

Still present:

- notification LED can't be enabled/disabled globally or in DND settings

- 12mpix AF broken

- RCS can't be enabled (not sure if it's Xiaomi's fault or my operator)

Dude, if you have no idea what you are talking about, please refrain from responding. I don't care how your battery is doing and I didn't ask for it, nor did the others that are having this issue, if you aren't affected why bother with replying? There is an ongoing discussion in this thread between some other users and me about this issue. If you Google "dual sim android pie battery drain", you'll see a lot more users on different devices are also affected by this problem. If you'd go back a few pages you would also see that I've done 2 clean installs and installed apps and applied settings one by one to see if a specific setting or app is causing the issue. I've checked the health of my battery with AccuBattery and it's healthy enough. The issue started out with the January update so it's definitely not a hardware issue. I came here to say that I have a feeling that it's (partially) solved by turning adaptive battery to help the others out.

I know this, I read those posts, that some DUAL SIM users are affected, but not all of them, so it could be dependent even on combination of their operators and some system change.

No, RCS is a protocol like iMessage that makes your SMS advanced (images, audios, etc) without charging anything and using data connection.

It must be supported by the phone and by the provider (mine does...)

On our Mi A1, the activation of the service is almost impossibile, It holds on Forever.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Exactly. I was debugging with logcat and in January update I saw unknown error, now with February update it gives different error:

BugleRcs: RcsPromoActivity: signup failed: AUTHENTICATION_FAILED

I have contacted my operator to check on their end as it seems that mobile network doesn't respond to my join request (they should send a registration SMS), though I don't really expect that they will fix anything. According to the Google search there are long ongoing RCS issues with many phones, Pixels including.

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

Not in my case, I never had low volume with headphones. Currently I'm using V4A just to boost bass a little and for cross-feed effect, no idea if it "fixes" this issue of pure stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

I don't use Bluetooth at all, so can't confirm. I never had any issues with Wifi speed.

I think i will be doing a backup and then downgrade to 8.1 this weekend to get stuff like gcam working and the volume fix module.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] th1nd:
I think the focus problem is only limited to gcam v6+ ports and the volume issue has been like this since the very beginning. I don't notice any drastic volume responsiveness. Currently planning to upgrade to February update. Can anyone guide me how to do it without losing data?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] hycraig:
i have tried many gcams but if they do work it will be on 9mp or you dont have hdr working where as before everything seems to work, and the volume has definitely decreased from oreo i think it started. without a volume fix you wont damage your ears but with the fix applied it will easily go loud enough to hurt your ears theres so much more power they have taken away from us since their volume "fix"
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] th1nd:
Okay let's see the feb update then. Will a simple magisk restore work fine to forbid it to lose data?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
Only in headphones you saw different in quality & volume & in loudspeaker ? This different you saw from January to February update ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Just did the test, 2.4ghz wifi, about 5 meters from the router, across 2 walls.

BT off - 47mb down, 6mb up

BT on and connected - 44mb down, 6mb up

No disaster happening here.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yasabh:
I'll test it again later. Yesterday I got 50 mb/s download and 30 mb/s upload with BT off and 5 mb/s -1mb/s respectively with BT on. I was really close to the router so... No sense.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
I'm not saying that it can't happen, just that I haven't experienced it. BT and wifi have overlapping frequencies, so they might interfere. My router is using channels 3(+5) at the moment, no idea if it makes any difference to your setup/experience.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris.nl:
Active BT (like linked smartwatch) and 2,4GHz WiFi bite each other. Active BT and 5GHz WiFi works fine for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JockeSve:
OK, Feb update after 2 days:

- Battery time: Same as before (perhaps even slightly better) with 2 SIM (same operator).

- FP feels a bit snappier.

- Mic volume: no change, still a bit low (that should be a easy fix for Xiaomi!).

- BT: smartwatch and headset works as expected, no issues.

- GPS: Accuracy good (not excellent) and quite quick.

I've had no issues at all with the sound from the earphones. You sure it's a software issue? My major gripe with pie on Mi A1 has been the unreliability of the network, now it very well could be the virgin network UK which is the culprit here, they aren't known for reliable network.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] th1nd:
I just have a sustained desparation about when to install the OTAs once they hit my device. Other than that I have no real hopes of the present issues to be actually resolved. It seems like OTAs these days are no more than just a placebo to our devices, hence the reason we deliver mixed feedbacks.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Some issues got clearly fixed in the February OTA (VoLTE, manual dark mode), they are definitely not a "placebo" effect. Security patches are usually not directly visible to users, but you can't say that they do not fix anything.
