[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
Just got the Mi 8 after 7 years on iPhone.

At first, I felt like MIUI 9's UI was quite dated. Now, MIUI 10 is rocking Material Design that fits better with the rest of Android. Yay!

Having said that, I'm not yet sure what kind of software updates/maintenance to expect from both Google and Xiaomi...

So far, I notice that there are some inconsistencies and annoying bugs due to the MIUI layer. Lack of "Ok Google", One-handed mode tends to stop working, Text to speech is missing, the text editing is sometimes MIUI sometimes Android, etc etc etc... While there are nice things about MIUI as well for sure.

Ok...

Overall, I want to prepare myself for the kind of attention I'll pay to maintain this phone in the next year or two.

Thinking if I should install custom ROMs and how often I should spend the time to customize & fix little things.

Based on your experience with Xiaomi and Android in general, how much will the manufacturer take care of things for me so "it just works"?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] lima002:
Normally I would recommend you to buy a pixel phone, it's the best Android you can have if you use to have iPhone.

Prepare yourself to wait for updates and new features from Android.

The problem with others companies it's that next year you'll have mi9 and they will get there attention, so the updates Will be first to the new versions.

On Google pixel and iPhone that doesn't happen.

To my that's the problem with Xiaomi, Samsung, etc etc
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Flawn:
You probably will get now the next 4 years updates from MIUI, so it's no problem. In the worst case just flash a custom rom if necessary
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ArmedandDangerous:
Ok Google is broken on many many many devices, even Samsung ones. Voice match is grayed out and you can't voice retrain it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
Cool stuff.

So far, I'm getting the impression that Xiaomi is particularly good at software upgrades.

In general, I want updated software regardless of the new stuff coming from Google or Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
I see... Seems like I'll have to live with these things related to Android in general.

I'm learning to enjoy using parts that work while training myself to ignore buggy stuff... As if they were never an option.

By focusing on features that work (no more and no less), it's far easier to enjoy this device.

But of course. Easier said than done. There's always temptation to feel FOMO for knowing that these basic things are supposed to actually work.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ArmedandDangerous:
It's actually the first time I've experienced a bug with any of Google's own apps. Frustrating since it's a new phone and I can't use it to it's full extent, but it'll fix itself eventually soon :D
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
Looking forward to the fix!

Google Assistant is a major selling point that got me to move from iOS (Siri) to Android.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

I hear you... It's just that I'd rather stick to stock Xiaomi themes as most themes come with hiccups. Could be a couple missing icons or generally hit & miss quality.

In any case, I'm delighted by where MIUI 10 is visually and where it's headed!

Great point! I'm embracing this now actually.

MIUI is far better than TouchWiz, EMUI, and whatnot.

It doesn't matter if the updates come from Google or Xiaomi. I just want enough vendor attention so my phone stays secure and generally updated.

If Xiaomi can offer its own flavor of upgrades, I don't really care about missing out on Google's. Especially since I didn't buy the phone from them.

I'm most inclined to keep it simple and just use the latest & greatest stable software from the manufacturer.

My hope is that Xiaomi will take care of me enough so I'd focus on using my phone over trying to do the job that I paid them to do.

I miss it too but I'm learning to accept that configuring this feature on my own is a hassle that I'd rather ignore.

I'd rather enjoy the Poco Launcher, which works well with the rest of MIUI. Without trying to make my phone mimic Google's ways.

My problem is getting the phone to read what's on the screen.

I can't summon this button: https://cl.ly/11b07bb89e9b

Yes, the Google-style text selector appears mostly on Google-made apps and others like Evernote. Mysteriously, Google Search uses the MIUI style highlight buttons (the one with Select, Select All, Paste, etc)

Looking forward to hearing your feedback! :D

[MENTION=303482]mingkee[/MENTION] after using part of your guide to root my tab a and all i went through with that we actually discovered how to circumvent the 7 day OEM unlock yesterday in case you didn't notice.

thanks for the start.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/twrp-3-2-1-1-tab-sm-t380-10-02-2018-t3747564 << last few pages discuss OEM unlock, see for yourself. Your post was one of 4 that caused that to happen. TY.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mingkee:
The key issue is bootloader.

If it's never locked, I can download the full ROM and see is there anything to do
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] capriorn1971ad:
oh it locks, it's just it is possible to unlock it immediately, so it locking at all is useless. Yeah, it WAS the key issue.

we both know Samsung has worse schemes on the way, probably sooner than we anticipate.

we might have even sped them towards that by doing this, but such is progress.

unless that particular device your looking at is protected somehow other than a 7 day OEM unlock switch, which i doubt yet.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sherl:
I just got off a Pixel 2 XL from walmart with build date Nov 3 and Android 8.0.0 with Sep 5, 2017 patch date. Is there any version of android I should sideload to instead of latest to get battery life versus blue shift display issue to be sorted out.

I am not looking for all the latest features but I would appreciate the android version that provides max battery life for me as well sorts out slight display problems (no boosted/natural options in display ATM).

Also was there a bootloader unlock discovered for this old of Pixel 2 XL yet?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nergal di Cuthah:
Is it a verizon 2xl? If so no known unlock. If it's a Google version - yes both are google phones but branding as Google version vs VZW version - then unlocked bootloader is easily done.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] v12xke:
Just let the phone take the latest update and you should be good. If you want to unlock the bootloader you'll need to know whether it is a Verizon or Google variant. The Verizon bootloader cannot be unlocked yet. Go to this link http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html and plug in your IMEI number. The buyer code and buyer name will confirm which unit you have.

so its october 12th, and i still dont have the september update, let alone the october update.

magisk/twrp installed

opted into the beta and back out to try to refresh some kind of hidden cache or something, no luck

going to manually install via pc, but id like to know potential reasons this would happen and how to resolve it so i can do the november one using the magisk method from their github

system update says up to date with august 5th patch installed

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] siggey:
If you are rooted you can't receive OTA, you must sideload it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dj_ooms:
Did you sign up for the Android Pie beta testing programme? I was still signed up on my Pixel 2 XL and wasn't getting the update too until I left the programme.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] matekaneve:
The same happened to my friend's 2xl. I ended up sideloading the ota for him however one of my relatives was complaining as well. No ota notification popped up for her. No root, no custom recovery, full stock. She factory reset the phone and the update notification immediately popped up at the first boot. In the past it worked and triggered the ota update if you force stopped Google services framework and cleared cache and data. I don't know it it works now. Anyway, sideload the update and hopefully next month it will work again or try a factory reset if your device is stock with no root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BloodSkin:
I was not in the beta program. I did sign up yesterday and immediately leave it, thinking maybe that would force some kind of hidden cache to be cleared. No luck.

This is not true. I've always gotten the notifications until these past 2 months. There is now a way to get the ota without side loading, and it worked on our other one, I just wasn't getting the notifications on mine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
I was in the pie beta program and once the official release came out I got the monthly update in September. However, I still haven't gotten the October one which is weird. Guess I shouldn't really care since I have the 3 coming soon anyway.

[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
Motorola One Power ...

Compared to Any Other handset, In same Location, (Inch by Inch close), in Same Real time, in the Same Network Sim (JIO), The Signal Losses are coming out a Bit High..

I have a slightly decent JIO network in my area (Airtel and Vodafone don't work ).

INDOORS

--- I am getting -105dbm -112 dbm On My Motorola One Power whereas all other Phones On Same Network in same Place are giving -90dbm to -95 dbm ..( In Realtime)

OUTDOORS

-- Motorola One Power is giving -92dbm to -97 dbm / Other Phones* are giving - 77 to -82 dbm

Please Note that these Figures are for COMPARISON of Signal Handling of Motorola One Power (My Piece) Compared to the Other Handsets we have in the family, and Not a Network Related Issue.

( I repeat, These figures are Compared hand to hand at same place, inches apart, on Vivo V9 / OnePlus5 / MotoX4 Compared to Motorola One Power)

The Stock Settings Location as well as a few apps were used to check out the signal strength.

This is the First Time I have faced Network issues with any Motorola Phone...

(Bought this phone three days ago)

The Check would not have been made, had a few people whom I called up in thel Last two days not complained to me of voice Crackling / Cracking up and Adviced me to move outdoors during the calls.

I have earlier used all these models from *Motorola:

Moto Charm, Moto XT910, Almost All G Series Phones , X Series ( Even E5 ) and My Last phones were MotoX-Play, MotoG6 Play and Moto X4 .....

PLEASE NOTE: ( Added and Edited on 24th Oct 2018 )

After the Replacement of the Handset, Network Issue has been Totally Resolved.

I am more than Happy with the MotoOne Power as it is having the Same Signal Strength as 2-3 Flagship Models (mentioned in comments below)
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] smyaknti:
Maybe a faulty unit? I get low signal strength at my home but the network connectivity is consistent. The last phone I owned was a Moto X play on Airtel network and people used to complain they couldn't hear me during calls, after I switched to chef, no complaints yet. LTE-A works well and speed & latency is good enough.
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
I have put in a complaint. They (Flipkart Online Marketplace) , and Not Motorola, actually sent an engineer for inspection..

( Some Engineering !! It was... ):D

It was more like comparing 4-5 devices in my home for Signal Strength at the same place , same network, same real time.

MotoOne Power was kind of Lowest :( (In case of My Handset)

But it was kind of nice of him to immediately mark my Device for Replacement. :angel:

I just hope that the whole Lot doesn't have faulty antennas as it was in the case of (perhaps) Moto E power a year back...

I hope to get replacement in a week :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] smyaknti:
Were your network speeds hampered? ?
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
I have been a Moto-X Play Fan as well.... and after that I went for a Moto-X4

Both devices had consistent Signal .. On Jio.

( Airtel, Vodafone and Idea dont work in my area at all)

Even This One (MotoOne Power) was consistent as well at -112 DBM at my fav Place at home

( with Vivo V9/ MotoX4 / and OnePlus 5 being at -97 DBM consistently
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
Since I use only Wifi at Home, that didn't bother me...

But at 1-2 spots at home ... (we all have those favorite comfort zones..) People complained that my voice was cracking up, and this had occurred the moment I switched over to MotoOne Power.. ...The Last two days...

Hence I started comparing the Signal Loss between Just our own Phones.

On Comparing this with the Other Devices we had at home ( on the same Jio Network) I observed that at -100 dbm to -115 dbm The voice clarity isn't too good.

And Not just Indoors....

In my Balcony (Outdoors) My MotoOne had -92 Dbm -97 Dbm And Other handsets had -77 to -82 Dbm

So why should this Midrange phone suffer from This issue.... ?

Unless there is some manufacturing defect with my piece..

Hence, opted for replacement.

If the problem is there in the replacement as well; I can't wait for a VoLTE update or anything else, because If this isn't a software issue, it could be an Antenna issue with all sets, and on delaying it, My handset won't get replaced.
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
Flipkart Sent me a replacement. This time the network strength was the same as the previous set, but yes, the volume rocker button was kind of flush fit with the side panel... One had to use the nails in place of fingers to adjust the volume
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] Kedarshelat:
I am facing same network issue on my Moto one power

I faced the same issue in my Moto one power wherein I compared it with other devices with Jio network and Vodafone network and the network signal was hovering between -99 till -117dbm.

Also I get one or two towers less compared to Redmi note 4 and mi A1 on same Jio network. Even your new handset have the same problem or is it fixed now ? Hope flipkart has a return policy.

Due to the signal loss problem, bbattry is draining very fastly. Are you facing same challenge?

I will call the flipkart customer care tomorrow regarding the same.
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] Sunnysthac:
Maybe the one power is only picking up a band with weaker signal coverage? since networks use multiple bands for aggregation maybe the one power doesn't support the better bands in your area as the other phones you have. Not sure
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
Hello All...

Received my Handset Replacement. There is NO Network issue in this particular handset.

In fact the GSM Signal is stronger than the GSM signal strength compared to Vivo V9, Samsung Galaxy 7 edge, OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 6.

The Jio VoLTE signal is also at par with all the above handsets...

I am fully satisfied with the performance of the Set .

[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] Sunnysthac:
So from what I understood, the original handset was giving poor signal and the replacement of same model is operating as it should?
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
I am on Jio ( VoLTE) New Delhi ....

And all readings / or any Reading of Signal loss in DBM doesn't matter as in a radius of 400 meters around my home the Network strength (from Same Cell ID or not....) Varies between -69 dBM to -112 dBM

But then This never was the Issue..

The Earlier Handset Always had almost 10% Difference ( Low signal) when compared with the OTHER handsets I had in my home....

After the replacement, The Signal strength is the SAME.... On all my Four handsets ... (Three of them Flagship Models)

Namely OnePlus6, OnePlus5, Samsung Galaxy 7 edge ... and One Non Flagship Vivo V9, which has the best signal strength of them all....

MotorolaOne Power has NO ISSUES related to signal strength at all.

So I guess it was a Piece related problem...that's been resolved by Replacement from Flipkart.
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
Absolutely Correct Sir :)
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] Sunnysthac:

Mine has also some signal issue. The signal is too low and my friends & relatives saying my number is not reachable and sometimes it is switched off. Why?
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] jeasbe:
Check if other handsets also have the same issue, exactly at same place, same time, under same network ?

Use some app such as 'Network Signal Info' on all sets at the same time.

Make sure you are connected to same network tower ( Cell ID ) when you get results.

If the dbm loss is more than 5-8 points, Please get the Handset Replaced asap
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] smyaknti:
I had the unreachable thingy with airtel on 3G even on full bar strength (-89 dBm Strength) and turns out that they were doing some network upgradtion near my area and now I have HD calling enabled which has no call drops whatsoever. Do check with multiple carriers if possible because it may be a carrier issue and changing the device may not fix it at all.

Also, if the network supports LTE-A, the signal strength shown is of the weakest tower which the device can capture. It happens with me at my home. At first I thought I had network issues as my 3 year old device had a better 4G tower bar on oreo and is also a motorola device. The strength shows less but in actuality, the closest tower has a good signal and calls and messages just connect in a jiffy.
