Nothing, because you don't lock your frequency. This fixes the max frequency bug(until the fix from xiaomi arrives) resulting in improved battery life.

sorry for the questions, and the bad english, im from Brazil, i have a lot of xiaomis but all with miui, this is my first dayli driver with miui

when i unlock bootloader and root the phone, what happen with OTA updates?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] Sift:
I don't mind, however I'm not sure if OTA will be supported once you rooted, perhaps someone more knowledgeable will help you with that, I'm sorry.

How do some guys get so much SoT? I barely get 4 hours even after i disabled the FP and the CPU now are not stuck! I just don't understand what i am doing wrong cause i am not using the device that heavy for it to have such a low SoT
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] SirMorokei:
Reset phone and wipe phone via recovery menu
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
How to wipe? I didn't unlock my phone or rooted it
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] SirMorokei:
You don't need to root your phone to wipe it.

Shut down device.

Hold power button and volume down button.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
Thanks a lot, i thought i couldn't access the stock recovery but i did and wiped the phone clean :good:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] OverTheEdge:
Here's mine.

Just got this last Monday. Battery was charged until 92% when I pulled it out from the charger. I am pretty satisfied with the battery performance compared to the reviews.

On Wifi. Location on. Bluetooth and Mobile Data off. No games played.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] SirMorokei:
As long as you don't get the CPU bug you will be fine
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
Can you tell me what level is your brightness?

i am really starting to think my phone is defective
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] juninhoak:
ur fingerprint is goodix?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
Yes but i am not using the FP since i knew it locked the CPU to maximum capacity.

Here is my battery usage
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
The image didn't work on the earlier comment

update:

i don't know why the screenshot won't work. anyway for my last full charge 23h 9m and SoT is 3h 1m with only 22% left and the ****in google play store used 18% is that normal?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] juninhoak:
This is not normal, the problem is there.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
I really don't know what's going on. I wiped the phone yesterday and didn't setup the fingerprint scanner at all! I understand it's 300mah battery but this **** is out of control! i really don't know what to do else.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] juninhoak:
Did you check the CPU z?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
Yes, and it's all good. Take a look

Also on the battery tab, it says it's good.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] juninhoak:
The problem is with Google services
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
Okay, do you know how do i fix it? do i disable it or what?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] OverTheEdge:
It's at 70% with adaptive brightness on.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] Benjamin_L:
Delete data from play services. This helps some time
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
I did that, didn't do anything :S
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] soralz:
Just disable FP sensor and reboot. Until Xiaomi fixes the FP sensor bug, keep it disabled and don't use it and you will have better battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
I did disable it and still i am not getting the expected battery life though i am not a heavy user
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] SirMorokei:
Mi A2 ist garbage. Buy another phone without these annoying bugs
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] DiesFrae:
You're saying this while posting from the Mi A2 :confused::laugh:?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] SirMorokei:
Yes because I wait for my new phone. And after that the Mi A2 goes directly into the garbage.

Stupid phone, stupid company.

Not the best battery life and I don't even have the bug. I was using spotify over BT for a good while though.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] :
Yesterday i got only 1h 50m with a single charge. Today, with half the charge (54% left) today i got 3h and 30m in the same conditions. (Half brightness, boost disabled on all cores, fingerprint enabled, LTE + Wifi, Bt off).

What a shame, other than the battery it is such a great device. I still have some days left to decide if i'm going to send it back and get a redmi note 5 (pro) global or not.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] pantelis1867:
Install Gsam battery monitor in order to see what is causing this drain overnight.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] minnuss:
Install Greenify from gplay, and hibernate every app that you see that have a little cloud icon right next to them, just dont hibernate aps like whatsap or telegram, or any other that need to be awake.

See if that saves you from drain.

And another thing, my gplay on phone is set to NOT update automaticly, I gave permision to gplay to update apps when I want to.

Battery Life Below expectation

Even under normal usage, the battery life performance is pretty much below expectation. Initially due the finger print sensor problem, the drastic drop of battery reserves really making me mad. But even after the latest Nov update by solving the CPU max out, the battery still not much improved.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] RizwanH20:
Well I have to say that I am totally not disappointed. Recently got 6 hours Screen on time with 1 complete day usage and still 23 percent to spare. Working exceptionally well considering SD 660 and 3000 mah battery
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] laviniu_c:
i get about 4h of sot and charge it just every other day.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] kvbkiran:
Did November update really fixed the CPU max out problem

i still having the clock speeds of 1.1ghz-2.2ghz

It must be near 300 or 400 mhz at minimum
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] Sianglee2000:
Well all i can say is the battery life is really bad, its getting worse with the combination of such tiny battery and cpu issue. Just keep away from this MIA2 if you are heavy user or expecting good battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] RizwanH20:
Seems like you haven't updated to Pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] Sianglee2000:
Not yet officially launch pie update at countries out of India. No expectation any improvement after pie update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] michaelsmith22:
Great battery life.

Had my Mi A2 about 2 weeks now. (A week before Xiaomi announced they were coming to the UK) I am finding the battery life fantastic. I would say I'm a light/mid weight user. I am easily getting a full days use out of it no problems at all. Often there will be 40/50% left at the end of the day.

Screen is turned down to about 30% which is more than bright enough for me. We shall see what Pie brings and also what adaptive brightness down.

I am very happy with it so far, only annoyance is the proximity sensor I keep activating the pull down menu when on the phone.

I'm going to give the material/build quality a 7 out of 10. It's definitely nothing I can complain about at this price point. The body itself looks and feels great. The buttons are a little too clicky and protruding for my liking. Camera also sticking out too far, but that's fair considering how slim the phone is. My biggest turn off, might be just pertaining to my device. But I get a slight rattle when setting the phone down. Maybe just the vibrating motor, maybe it's because there was no protection in the packaging mine shipped in. To me 7 out of 10 in a $250 phone with these specs is incredible overall.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] nyssss:
When you set the phone down, it wobbles because of the camera bump which should not have happened as other device don't have this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] alexris99:
Xiaomi really missed an opportunity here

Happy to hear that I`m not the only one with these kind of "problems". My device also rattles a lot when laying it down on whatever kind of solid surface or sometimes even when gently tapping it with your fingers. It sounds like there´s something about to break apart on the inside, which drives me crazy :eek:.

I´ve already contacted my seller, assuming that something inside my device is loose or that the vibration-motor is damaged. They replied that it would be normal and that the noise would be caused by the auto-focus. I´d love to hear if there are even more A2 users facing this issue or if I unluckily received a faulty device.

Using the volume- or unlock-buttons also takes way to much force and is way too noisy in my opinion.

In addition to that, the oleophobic coating of the device is very weak if not even non-existent. Fingerprints are visible after very short usage can hardly be removed.

I won`t even complain about design mistakes like the camera bump or the fake stereo-speakers on the bottom of the device, as these are things you should consider before buying.

To me that makes up for no more than 5/10, irrespective of the phone`s great performance.

Maybe I expected to much from a 240€ phone, but comparing it to a Moto G6 there is plenty of room for improvement on the quality side.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] enapah:
Evaluating

just

the use of materials I would rate the phone at a solid 9.0/10.

Sole gripe is the aluminum back, which didn't get any treatment to be less slippery (it's really an hazard if you use it "naked" -- like I do).

There are plenty of other issues which

are not

about use of materials, but do show lower quality standards in some regards. For instance, the speakers punch insane volumes, but the quality is very far from top tier flagships (which should be a surprise to none, as this is a much cheaper phone). Call quality does suffer due to this, at least just from our side (listening). The luminosity sensor could also be better, not sure if it's just software or poor hardware. Button feel is stiff and solid like other top premium devices, don't know what people are complaining there. Fingerprint sensor does tend to be slower than the top tier (emphasis on the relative comparison -er, as it's not slow by any absolute means, just slow

er

)

If you want to evaluate design, the larger bezels are also a pretty clear give-away this isn't flagship material. The huge camera bump is also a design choice that annoys a lot of people (motivated by the fact that module wouldn't fit otherwise, but a design choice to make the phone stupidly slim nonetheless).

My assessment of the phone is very good, chiefly because it costs less than €250 for the 4GB/64GB model (which I have).

You can't really expect miracles, there is a reason why the other phones are more expensive.

The compromises made in the A2 make it retain most of the apparent feel of a much premium device -- so much so that, when a call arrives, I am disappointed to be reminded by the speakers that this is a very good €250 phone; not a €1000+ flaghip.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] EvikOne:
Hi, even my MI A2 when placed down on a flat surface makes a metallic noise/vibration, as if there was something not fixed properly near camera.

With my previous Moto G4 I did not have this problem, at the moment I'm not sure whether to keep the MI A2 or send it back despite being very satisfied with all the other aspects.

Has anyone noticed differences with cover?

Is this defect also present on other phones?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] GuestD2194:
Everyone has that rattle when shaking the phone or laying it down, apparently it has something to dok with the camera, there is a thread about it. The phone has a very good build quality, at this price point incredible. The bump bothers me a bit but since they copied the iPhone it doesn't feel cheap.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] edekalil:
Just received a MI a2 and it seems to have very good build quality for a $250 phone and works fine so far. Of course I am not a fan of the cam bump but still a good phone 8.5 of 10.

Dear all,

For a commercial project we are trying to put our PDA into Kiosk mode. The goal is that the pda is running a flash application which can not be closed or affected by the users actions (unless the unlocking method from the kiosk program of course).

So far we're trying out SPB Kiosk Engine Builder, but we're running into the problem of not being able to disable the 'OK' button, which closes applications (like alt+f4 on the pc).

Is there any other way to disable this key without physically altering the pda?

Thanks in advance,

Harry

Is it 100% stock? In the stock photos the lockscreen doesn't look the same as the one on my Pixel, with the clock being in the top-left... small detail I know, but I wonder what else is different
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] minnuss:
Well yes and no, more YES then no, I'll try to explain.

You see, google has their stock android which they send directly from google servers to phones like Nexus and now Pixel models.

Then there is google one program, in which google send again directly from google servers new updates to phones for different kind of brands of phones out there, but not 100% same as pixels stock android (camera app for example).

And there is google go variant, which is another variant of stock android, but it is not send to phones directly from google, instead it is send to brands of phone, like for example nokia, and then nokia has the responsibility to send those new version of android or updates to phones themselves.

So, android one is 98% stock android, there are some exclusives which google keep for their premium phones, and some launcher design changes, but nothing serious.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] Mdk001:
Thank you very much for the infos, I proceeded to order the Mi A2!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Real Life Review] Mixz1890:
Ok, so I recently updated to Pie and ugh, I wish I hadn't. The audio controls are horrible, you can only change multimedia volume and toggle between ring/silent/vibrate. For the rest you must go to the settings. Oh and the settings button, where did that go? Well now you have to make an additional swipe to get to it because its now hidden in quick toggles.

Now you can't change the WiFi/BT directly from quick toggles like before, you have to go to the settings....

The gestures are half assed as well imo. Either use the onscreen buttons or full gestures so that you don't have anything taking up the screen. Another thing that extremely annoys me is that you can't change the nav button layout, you have to install additional app and grant it permission through adb to move the back button to a more sensible right side. After Pie update the clock is located on left side as well without ability to switch it to the right side. I know that this is probably Googles fault but still, in the end its a problem of this phone too.

Another thing that annoyed me was that there wasn't even a music player on the phone :/
