Official pie rom, not rooted, bootloader locked.

Face unlock has not been working for me on 10.0.3, still not fixed on 10.0.4. Tried resetting trusted face app etc. Icon appears for a second, then goes without unlocking, whatever the light etc. Anyone found this or know a fix?

Another bug (not sure if it is a rom problem) is the reappearance of a bad echo on normal voice calls. I hadn't noticed this much in recent versions. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks.

Try to reinstall or clear data of Netflix app. I got an error on my first run of Netflix after upgrade to Pie and had to login again. It's been working fine since then, even after 10.0.3.0 -> 10.0.4.0 update.

My bootloader has always been blocked

I unlocked before (with the trick of vol-), applied the solution offered by @jack_21, I lock the bootloader again (with the trick of vol-) and upgraded to the January patch.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Parnas72:
You must put the phone in fastboot mode to flash a ROM.

On the phone you must have the screen with the Xiaomi bunny repairing the green android.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] samy2015:
maybe because my slot A is 8.1 , slot B is 9.0 :D

now i flashed pie again on both slots and trying to apply the update , will report later..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
If I'm not mistaken, it can't work because for flashing system image via TWRP you must mount system partition as R/W, so OTA will fail no matter what. Flash system.img via fastboot, then it should work (worked fine in my case). Also don't forget to disable automatic mounting system partition as R/W in TWRP settings.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] FrOsti_ani:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Parnas72:
On 10.0.4 I can use bands 3, 7 and 20 (the ones used in Italy for 4G), whereas on 10.0.3 I only had band 3.

Of course the phone will likely support other bands that in my country are not used.

Specifically for LTE band 41, it's used in China but not in Europe, so I think it's correct that band 41 is not present in phones for international markets, like MI A1. Probably it was added by mistake.

That's obviously wrong.

Check specifications for MI A2 or MI A2 lite, LTE bands on MI A1 are just the same.

LTE FDD：B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20

LTE TDD：B38/B40
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Herdkilling:
I'm about to buy the A2 Lite because it supports LTE Band 2, the A1 with Oreo (October patch) doesn't (see attachment).

Could somebody please confirm that they've added LTE Band 2?

That would be great news for us in South America, because that would mean that now we would be able to use Movistar LTE. :)

Pie should've improved my battery life but it's actually going down the drain. I can barely make it through the day with a full charge and I loose about 15 to 20% overnight.

First it was LTE, now this. I'm really starting to miss how stable and good the last 8.1 update was.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joerg78:
Had the same issue, but a full recharge and another restart of the phone solved that problem, so battery life is more or less the same as before the update.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _jis_:
That's weird, because users praise the opposite, including me. Much better battery consumption in Pie with adaptive battery. Did you checked consumption of your apps?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] denisval:
Yeah I've checked it but there is nothing noticable. The battery loses a lot of charge over night and when I was using it this morning for checking a newspaper's website I could just see the percentages drop. I think I'll just let it deplete completely this weekend and then give it a recalibrating charge and see how that goes. If that doesn't work I think I'll just do a factory reset because there is something off about my current setup.

Maybe your battery is just dying...

Check it with AccuBattery or Ampere what is its condition.

Hi,

I did the January OTA on my stock phone on Thursday however since the update mobile data no longer works. I am on a plusnet 3g sim in the UK which is band 1 wcdma, the phone shows it is connected via hpsa but no data services are working (chrome etc just say offline). I have taken the opportunity to upgrade my sim to 4g which will hopefully work but while I wait for my new sim to arrive can anymore confirm it they have also had this issue and any workarounds? Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ludditefornow:
I was on the 8.1 november update and installed pie .4.0 version on thursday. It was the first time i had been offered a pie update.

I have magisk 18 installed and followed the ota update requirements as usual and after update and reinstall magisk, it rebooted.

On the reboot i got the unocked screen, then the black screen with tue android update circle for about 5 seconds. After that i was in perpetual bootloop.

I tried to get into adb via powershell and was getting failure.. i needed to download adb again and use dos promt to load twrp and manually flash the .3.0 pie version. After clean install first timenthere was an error in twrp for failing to find cache and then 4 other errors i dont recall.

So i flash again and then only the cache error showed.

In hindsight i could have probably tried to just change partition..

But all was good and i load magisk.. then updated ota to version .4.0 using the magisk method.

All good.. be careful uodating guys and have backuos of important data.

Only issue i have is in wifi i am stuggling to connect to routees that are set to "any" option for frequency.. setting to 2.4ghz on the router fixes the issue.

Battery is being drained by something but i am sure that is from Parallel Space not being set up properly.

I also have pixel 3 camera working with forcus for wide and tele on separate apps.. wide needs to be set to 16;9 aspect 9mp to stop the focus hunting. I am using 0.7 for saturation.

I dont use selfie but testednit and it is green..

All in all okay.. but truthfully, i see nothing in Pie that i needed to upgrade for other than security features.. if you dont need it, hang back..

It seemsnlikenpie was an update for uodate sake and actually tue functions i use anlot are actually more time consuming.. bit it is not big problem.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes, another reboot fixed the problems for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leong428:
Despite all the negative comments, I for one am really enjoying the January Pie update.

I am running stock without root and upgraded from November patch (I was not offered the December update).

So far everything works as it should, LTE, Gcam etc. (Having to shoot in 16:9), no issues with Google Calendar (which happened in November patch) and the phone feels much quicker than the November update.

The battery life is incredible again (it was really bad for me in the November patch although October was good) and I can easily get 4.5 to 5 hours of screen on time using the phone comfortably as my daily driver.

I will be on this version for a while I think, and will be very cautious about upgrading to next month's patch since this version works so well on my device.

The only bug I noticed so far is that GPS signal seems to be a bit weaker on my device, when I am using navigation on Maps, the signal would cut off when I'm driving under a bridge, and take longer than usual to lock on again.

You don't need to run your device rooted to use GC, that is a known fact.

I have done in March 2018 (in Oreo 8.0.0) this for using GC:

Boot to fastboot - Unlock bootloader - Fastboot boot to TWRP - Setprop commands for Camera2API and EIS - Reboot to bootloader and relock - Done

OTA is not affected.

I'm experiencing the following problems/bugs (currently rooted and with latest pie stable with December patch):

1- I am encountering a lot of app closures and unexpected bugs like Instagram is frozen rn (everytime freezes even after force closures). Gboard is also stopping rn. Many other apps keep on closing at random times (I've plenty of internal storage free ~ 4 gigs).

2- GCam's front selfies are always greenish in HDR+ and HDR+ enhanced. I had tried 5 different versions of GC so far and the most reliable one outta them was the "GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1.apk". Now I uninstalled it and installed the "BSG test_8.1.apk" and still experiencing force closure on panorama, slow motion, and normal video modes. Video Recording still doesn't work sometimes (I have to restart the phone and the problem gets cured temporarily) and it's the worst part.

3- One more big trouble is the rapid screen flashing in some areas of the screen at random times like while playing a YT Vanced video in minimized mode (even though I tried both Non-root and magisk versions). Plus, every video plays pitch-black sometimes irrespective of the flash problem aforementioned.

Also the original YT comes back after play store detects it (I created enable_detach empty file in /cache/ but still after a restart or so, the app gets detected again in PS and again I've to disable it and reinstall the Magisk version; the screen flashing is persistent in non-rootversion too but currently I'm on Non-root only).

4- (More of a quick help rather than a bug) January patch just arrived, downloaded and isn't installing. Does any one know how to insall it without the risk of any data deletion and without unrooting?

No problems with LTE, GPS, Brightness, or any other critical aspect.

I didn't expect this level of uncertainty in daily use. Definitely not a daily driver scenario!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Parnas72:
No FCs at all for me, on the contrary I find the system very stable.

That's a known problem of 6.1 ports and front cam, older versions of gcam work fine.

Installing an official OTA without unrooting is not possible, because the installer detects the system partiton has been tampered with; you can download and flash V10.0.4 stock ROM directly from xiaomi servers:

http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.4.0.PDHMIXM/tissot_images_V10.0.4.0.PDHMIXM_20190104.0000.00_9.0_2cee840c96.tgz

then you will need to root the phone again, if you want root.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Netflix is using Safetynet. If you are rooted with Magisk, unlocked bootloader or root don't trigger Safetynet, so you are safe to use all apps which depend on it. For example Xposed fails Safetynet checks to pass, in such case you won't see Netflix in Playstore. However you can simply sideload it and everything works perfectly fine.. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Parnas72:
That depends if you value more the benefit of running apps with root privileges wrt running apps that don't work on unlocked devices. You have pros and cons in both situations, for me personally having root is by far the most useful choice.
