[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] YoungRandyy:
thanks for the info.

one question

is it still possible to get ota's if i roll back to april update and then install the gcam using rootless method?

I heard that may update will wipe everything during the unlock process and its unavoidable.so the gcam mod thing won't install.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
It should be possible to flash April update an install gcam rootlessly and then update to May patch.

You can unlock the bootloader with April update so you avoid unnecessary wiping later.

I don't know what's wrong with my phone but it seems to hate magisk. When I root my phone using this method:

Unlock Bootloader, Boot TWRP, Keep TWRP Read only, Flash Magisk, Reboot.

I get bugs such as occasionally when I reboot my baseband version says unknown and I can't use my son, rebooting fixes temporarily. The second issue is It can randomly end up bootlooping, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Sunny2ask:
May update clarification

Can any one tell me if updating to May update will erase any data?

My phone is already rooted via magisk and have various magisk modules installed along with gcam

I update like this:

1. Revert to last stock update via miflash

2. Install OTA

3. Root via Magisk
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
That should work. As long as you unlock bootloader before updating to may update.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Sunny2ask:
So, no issue if I do this?

1. Revert to last stock update via miflash

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Install OTA

4. Boot into patched boot

5. Root via Magisk
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Looks fine. Make sure to patch the latest boot, after ota update.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] JohnGFX:
Hello,

I wanted to ask something but I was hesitant but I'm just fed up with this device and feel like I wasted money on it

I have been finding problems each day with this device and it has only been 17 days since I got.

-Wifi range and stability are not working well (doesn't connect even when I'm near the router / Loses connection constantly even near the router / doesn't connect from a distance other phones can get a stable connection at)

-call volume and quality are terrible.

The questions:

-Now, Why is the system taking 9-10gb of the storage?

A friend of mine has a Nexus 6 Stock Android and the system takes 3.14gb... On my sibling's device GR5 2017, system is 7.5 gb.

It doesn't make sense - shouldn't stock android be LIGHT? how can my device have 9 or 10gb for system alone?

-Should I try to download the official stock rom and manually install it to solve these problem or just go return the device now and let them fix it?

Thanks very much in advance, I appreciate any help.

Hi, noob here.

I have this issue that when I plug my phone to my USB typ C cable and charge it. My phone automatically reboots. It stuck in rebooting screen and won't start until I remove the cable..

When I check the battery stats, the android O.S is taking so much battery percentage. And when I plug my device to computer, it shows that "the device doesn't recognize the computer"

I'm on Stock Android with the 2nd update of May Patch..

I've research any method solutions but then it didn't solve my problem..

Any other solutions ?

Thanks in advance

Yea that update ruined my phone frankly I hate xiaomi right now my guess for solution is wait for the next update it may solve the problem or just take it to the service center
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Maybe go back to a previous update? The one you felt was better?

Second suggestion, consider using a custom rom. :)

Battery drain

I bought the mi A1 about 8 months ago and it was working fine up until 3 weeks ago.

The battery has started to drain big time and the Android is consuming most of the power.

I've tried the below already,*

1. Calibrating my battery.

2. Factory reset to January update.

3. Stopping the apps running in the background.

4. Turning off location / wifi and internet.

Despite doing all this the battery drains big time, even when it's idle when I'm sleeping.

P.s - I'm unable to upload screenshot because it keeps saying that there's a network issue. But the screenshot stats say that the android os consumes most of the battery and SoT was 30 minutes. Phone was idle for most of the time. It came down 100-20% in a few hours.

Absolute newbie here. Afraid im gonna brick the device.

I want to flash stock rom to revert back to an earlier update. I already downloaded the rom but i dont know how tp flash it. Threads are confusing. I found this thread but i still dont know. Do i unlock bootloader then follow the steps on how to flash stock rom or flash directly??

Also please, what's the meaning of unlocked and locked in that thread and do i choose to keep the device locked after flashing?? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] CaioFerreira:
I didn't try in English, but that's weird since my language is supported by assistant... The rom is DotOS, but it wasn't working with other ROMs either. Maybe I should try different gapps package?

:laugh:

This is a thread for another phone. I don't own that device, actually the first time I heard about it, so there's nothing i personally can do.

However, a quick search on uncle Google gave me this link:

http://androidcase.pro/philips-s326-how-to-root-download-formware-how-to/

See if that helps.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Maybe you should check if it is working with English. So you won't have to change gapps.

Too, try to ask for help in the dotos specific thread. Someone using that rom might be of help.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
That's my thread, so maybe I can help :)

You can use miflash tool to flash stock roms. I'm not sure if you can actually flash stock rom with a locked bootloader, but theoretically it Should be possible.

In case it doesn't work you have to unlock bootloader.

Unlocking bootloader: In simple terms Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone.

And unlocking bootloader will wipe your device so you should backup first.

It's your decision if you want to keep a locked or unlocked device. Bear in mind that you can relock a device only with a stock unmodified rom. Otherwise, if you try to lock a modified stock rom, you will end up in troubles.

I hope that helps.

Guys help. I've encountered a weird problem with sensor buttons. Sometimes(mostly after 9pm(when night mode is enabled)) they start to behave absolutely crazy - disabling, blinking for 1-2 sec, enabling again and so on(mostly they are dying and continue to work only in the morning) . Is it a hardware or software issue and what can I do to solve this problem?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] JohnGFX:
That helps tremendously. Thank you so much. :)

I think I will hold off installing the rom for a while. I have a friend who owns a Mi A1 coming back from a trip tomorrow, I will wait for him and compare the devices and see if it has the problems I'm facing. One small question if I may, can you tell me how much does the system take of your storage? I have the 32gb model and system takes 9gb - is this accurate? because it seems over-exaggerated.

Are you using any aggressive doze enabler app such as naptime, force doze, greenify?? if u are and if u have toggled on " disable motion detection during doze" this would cause that effect.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] barrack1:
I found the rom v9.5.11 to be buggy with Wifi and had trouble with connectivity.

10G is normal for smartphones with >=32Gb storage. Its the partition sizing that determines how much usable storage you have and not how lightweight the Android one rom is. And Xiaomi has configured 1.5Gb of swap which also eats into usable space.

As of the latest update. I do not have any problems with poor battery life, wifi, etc.

For those having issues with poor battery life on stock, its probably magisk/exposed module causing problems. If the device is not rooted and you're having issues, flash the phone to stock April v9.5.10 rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
You can install diskinfo from play store and see the actual use of partitions.

I'm on a custom rom (64gb model) and in android settings/storage the system section shows 11 gb.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Ok, if I decrypted correctly your post:

Boot into twrp and go to WIPE section and choose format data. Not wipe data but Format. You have to type YES to allow the data format.

Again don't confuse wipe data with format data. You need to FORMAT data.

This will wipe your data and internal sd card so backup things that you need.

This will remove your encryption.
