Android One responsibility are complicated..

So far away for pie

Just talk about some bug on current 8.1 rom (like slow emmc read/write speed, unresponsive proximity sensor n etc) and some miss faeture and support like arcore, camera2api, tap2wake...

Im sure they work on it but not fast like miui

To be honest mi a2 are overshadowed by redmi note 5/pro, and poco f1, so this phone not much attracted/interesting for some community developer...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] pgkane:
That was one of the more refreshing posts I've seen in awhile. Thanks for posting it.

Having some from the HTC 10 forums, where the users are pretty respectful, some of the Mi A2 users here do seem particularity whiny and demanding of attention.

It's really the worst XDA experience for me so far. Threads with the same topics all over and constant demanding and whining instead of being happy about a cheap good phone

its a big mistake to buy this mi a2 with this very little battery, horrible suport, a lot of bugs, a new 1401 clock bug, no pie, no twrp, no suport, this is the worst phone i ever buyed, now i will sell this, i cant handle this feilure phone
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] JamieAmmar:
I'd rather have a smooth and bug free phone than a rushed update. I mean, both the A2 and A2 Lite are full of bugs. Nokia is working with only Android One phones, while Xiaomi have so many to work on. They are slow anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Technicalyog:
Guys, my topic says its a premium phone and don't have any problem with it. Getting superb screen on time, pics, android one, fast charging and dont need much.

But just curious about pie update as even nokia 6.1 got it... Don't be upset with it. If anyone knows can tell otherwise its ok

Pie update is in testing, Xiaomi sells far more A2 than all Nokia combined, so the extra care, whatever pie update should come in few days with November update.:)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] psichokillah:
The main reason why I bought the phone was Android One. I expected to receive updates as early as possible just like the damn website on Android One is saying.

Until now, Xiaomi is a big f*cking disappointment because of bugs, CPU frequency lock (I have a phone that can't be used with Fingerprint and those morons at Xiaomi don't even want to acknowledge that), slow updates, no camera2api enabled by default (I had to erase the phone!), TWRP etc.

This is by no way a premier/premium phone. The Galaxy A5 2016 I had for two years was way better because it felt and ran like wind.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Technicalyog:
Are you sure or just feeling without any expectations:confused:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AcostaJA:
No, I'm very confident, also its Xiaomi goal to announce it before Xmas sales season begins to push A2 sales yet not as good as the A1's.

Besides Android Pie goodies, another improvement is to include Bluetooth LDAC support, and maybe improvements on camera.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Technicalyog:
We received the November security patch now, so i think we will be receiving pie in December only..... Thanks for your reply
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AcostaJA:
too early this update, likely to see another update this month, this one very big with Pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ilgreco112:
I bought this phone for the sole reason that I wanted fast updates and stock Android. Because fast updates and stock / light OS is the selling point of android one phones. I had to chose between this and the Nokia 7 plus. I didn't buy the 7plus and I regret so much. I don't have money now but as soon as I get the money I'll change and never coming back to xiaomi
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Mixz1890:
Ok guys, since you like to whine like *****es - show me the phone with this good camera and SD660 for 200euros...I doubt that you'll be able to find one. If I had the chance to choose ofc I would have gone for Nokia 7+ but it cost like ~300-350euros. So does the 7.1 not to mention it has about the same battery life and the retarded notch. Nokia 6.1 is still at least 250euros with much ****tier SoC.

If you want a bug free experience with top notch hardware, go buy a Sam**** or worse - Apple phones. They cost just 5x more, not that big of a difference isn't it?

Rather than whining, how about you go make proper bug reports on MIUI forums with good details so devs can reproduce the bugs and fix them.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Technicalyog:
Best thing, i got security patch update along with pixels.... So no complaints... Camera definitely best after pixels, note 9, s+, may be one or two more better then this but way costlier...

Just hoping for November pie update, that is gonna make this phone a real pixel for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] minnuss:
There is no bug free experience, maybe on pixels, but I doubt even that.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ilgreco112:
It's not about bug free experience or top notch hardware. It's about Android one supposed to have faster updates. Android 9 = august 2018. I would expect my Android one phone to get it at worst in September.

Quoting google:

A 22 February 2018 Google blog article says: "Faster access to Android OS updates for two years, including the latest AI innovations from Google; Amongst the most secure devices in the ecosystem with regular security updates for three years and Google Play Protect built in".
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] JamieAmmar:
Calm down man. You want a SD660 phone with the same price range ? Realme 2 Pro. Actually it's a bit cheaper here than the Mi A2. Camera isn't that much of a difference between the two phones, as being an Android One device, Camera2 is disabled. How lame is that ? Both A2 and A2 lite are treble phones, with A/B partitions, which makes updates much more easier and faster but no, it's Xiaomi. How are they gonna release the 9.0 when their 8.1 introduces a new major bug with each security update ? Maybe they just don't want to release the latest version before their flagships getting it, or they just don't care.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] pecholino:
Well, SD660 in our phones doesn't mean sheet, since it's outperformed by sd625 devices.

I've owned 30+ phones including 6 Xiaomis.

Mi A2 was the only one I had to return due to bugs and slow performance and didn't want a replacement. I love Xiaomi phones. I will buy Xiaomi again, but Mi A2 is just a bad phone with a good camera. Period.

I did send some "proper" bug reports, but there are just so many bugs.. And I didn't want to wait months before my phone gets usable.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Mixz1890:
Except you can't get the Realme 2 pro...At least if you dont live in India(Thank God I don't). And it has some weird UI on it. A2 will get the pie probably, but the ****ty support isn't anything new, the A1 had the same exact problems.

Not sure where you got the idea that it gets outperformed by ****ty 625. Granted the multi core performance doesn't live up to other 660 phones but if it doesn't get fixed in future updates then you can always go with custom roms. And tbh, using the phone daily I haven't felt that it would lack power. And about the memory speed - well this sucks, hopefully they'll fix it or Ill have to go with MIUI. But again - don't really notice it using the phone daily. Been loving the phone since day 1 and still do.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] pecholino:
I don't know which device you used before the A2, but I came from A1 and I was dissappointed when I saw my old A1 being more responsive than the A2. If I wanted the performance the A2 is delivering, I would have saved 200€ and kept the A1.

If I wanted MIUI, I would have bought the 6X, which btw, is a better phone. I gave handled the Mi A2 and the Mi 6X side by side. That's when I finally decided to return my A2. The Mi 6X was noticeably faster and more responsive and (to my surprise) it had a much nicer display (a real LTPS).

I think mine had just a regular IPS lcd.

As to your solution to just flash MIUI and solve bugs by myself etc..

I gave Xiaomi money. Why should I give them anything else (eg my working hours)? They should have released a fully working phone, but they didn't! I bought it because of Android One, thinking that I wouldn't need to do nothing but root and install adblock. Instead I got a phone full of bugs, which some of them may even be HW related. I don't have time to waste on troubleshooting 10 bugs. I'm not 20 anymore.

And btw.. I have tried the xiaomi.eu rom on A2. Well.. that had bugs too (not on the 6x though)..

Oh just to point out my main issue with A2:

AndroidOne: impossible to download large files while watching video (it stutters)

MIUI10: decreased 3G reception
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Mixz1890:
Since 6X and A2 is almost the same phone, its only the software side thats having the problems. Doubt that any of these are HW problems since the A2 with MIUI performs really good. 6X is missing LTE band 20 so its a no go for me. Considering Xiaomi pretty much profits of the **** installed on MIUI its kinda no wonder they have such a ****ty support for the phone :/ Could have raised the price of the phone to have a better dev team but eh... Coming from S5 - Wouldn't need a new phone if that thing had more than 2gb ram, otherwise it was working good enough for me.

P.S. Who cares about 3G nowadays? :confused::laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] pecholino:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeLeo:
Hi all,

I am a teacher in an informal school working with children with special needs. I am using 20 Lenovo tablets which are all exactly the same model Lenovo TB-X103F. I have managed to set up one of the tablets fully including the apps, users (adult user, child user) and customization for the apps to be in specific folders on the desktop.

The problem is that setting up all the tablets to be the exact same is very hard and I will need to repeat it on many tablets in several schools I work with but all use the same tablet model. There are lots of stuff that need to be done. So I was thinking if there is a tool that would help me export a system image which includes not only the applications, but it even includes the settings, folders, users, and customization to a flash memory. I have tried some apps but they are all limited to contacts, images, and apps without including folders, customization, and settings.

Could you please suggest any solution? and if you suggest a tool, can you please as well tell me what would happen if the tool fails to work, for example, would I still be able to restore the tablet to factory settings afterwards?

Regards,

George

P.S: dear moderators, if this is not the right category for this post, please help me moving it to the right one and apologies in advance.

Hi All,

I am new to ELF i.e. HTC touch

I was expecting somebody knows the solution for my problem

Problem: I have HTC Touch (Black one) P3450 from last few days while I

connect my device to PC i am getting

below error message.

error: "Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect

your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft

ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop

computer."

I had restarted my device many time also I had reinstall

but as the relationship between PC and Mobile device is not identified

it will giving me above error.

i had tried to find out <PROGRAMS> then <FILE EXPLORER> then <WINDOWS> then to the <TEMP> folder but I didn;t find it out on my device. Please help me in this regards.

More interesting is when I connect my device to pc the ActiceSyc 4.5 start but not able to sync, pup up with above error.

but I can clikc on explore button on Activesyc window to navigate.

Please help urgent

[Touch GSM General] Saisan:
Any update on this....

urgent....
[Touch GSM General] number16:
First of all, not being able to find your device is 'normal' ... until you've made an activesync connection, you won't see your device.

Now, for your activesync problem, do you see an error code? Like 80004005 or 80006007?

It's a pretty common problem for activesync, but from my experience it seems to pop its ugly head a lot more often for WM6 devices than the older OS, like the 'tried and tested' WM2003SE platform.

There could be many causes for this. I'd suggest going through the following steps to try to fix it:

1. Disable all the items under Option (calender, contacts, notes, everything) and see if it can be connected via Activesync. If it can't, you're really screwed ... go to step 5

2. Disconnect your phone, and close Outlook on your PC. Now find scanpst.exe on your PC (installed with Outlook) and run it to scan and fix your .pst file.

3. Re-connect your phone, now add the options 1 by 1. I'd start with Notes, then contacts and calender. See if running scanpst.exe fixes the problem. If you're luck, you could be out of the woods by now.

4. If you get the same error after adding a particular item in option, that help you isolate where the problem is. Look at the entries in that item (calender, contact, notes etc) and see if there's anything that casues the problem. Relocate the items if necessary and add them 1 by 1.

5. If everything fails, or if you don't even care about the programs you've installed on the phone, just do a hard-reset (hold down green + red button at the same time, poke the reset button while still holding down the buttons, and press "select" when the messge appears on screen) and connect the phone to the PC and see if it syncs. If your phone can't even sync fresh after a hard-reset, send the phone back for repair.

I know from my experience, moving the contacts and adding them 1 by 1 got me out of the woods 1 time, and the other time I had to do a hard-reset ... good thing I backup my device weekly.

Good luck!

My bet is that you have a bad USB cable.

I have definitely seen the exact error messages and problems you describe with a HTC Universal.
[Touch GSM General] gmorar:
Hi number 16,

Could you tell me where exactly are located the *pst. files? When I try to run scanpst.exe, it tells me to browse to the respective file, but I can't find it.

Thanks a lot.
[Touch GSM General] number16:
The .pst file is the Outlook data file. Close outlook first, and right click on the icon to go to "Properties". From there you can see the location of your current .pst file location.
[Touch GSM General] Saisan:
Hi number16

Thanks for your suggestions but I had already tried steps #1 to # 4. After that I had deleted all the relationship.

Now at present I don’t have any relationship for my device to PC.(When I had plug-in my device and tried to sync through ActiveSyc 4.5 it will show me Guest or new name for relationship.)

On some different forum they have some kind of problem there it was suggested to delete the Windows/ Temp folders files so that it will resolve the above problem.

Any think else you would like to suggest.

Hope somebody help me.. :rolleyes:

Sandi
[Touch GSM General] leondaphillips:
Have you *tried* another USB cable?

(I know, I know... but a cable that fails to sync can transmit data, I have seen this - it is strange but true).

Also

you may inadvertently have disabled a network connection on your PC. If you connect you should see a network icon showing like it is trying to obtain an ip address. If you disable that by accident it can also prevent connections but I still think you should try a new cable then check your network connections

1. Try:

2. So you've tried a new cable and nothing changed! But I told you about the miniUSB port in your phone! Do you see any broken, twisted pins in there? I'm telling you this because I had my phone's pins broken and I have no connectivity via usb anymore!

Regards!
[Touch GSM General] leondaphillips:
One final thought

Hi Saisan

I would counsel that you should try another PC first.

Next step:

Unplug your device...

Uninstall Activesync, remove the registry keys for the program and reboot. Download the latest release of ActiveSync and install that.

I would also suggest you could do worse than enable "SHOW_HIDDEN_DEVICES" in device manager and remove all greyed out items under USB in device manager (WITH YOUR DEVICE NOT ATTACHED) then reboot and reconnect your device.

Failing that you probably have either a connectivity issue (physical cables or connectors) or you have a logical connection issue (I think there is a possiblity that you have inadvertantly disabled a network connection).

When you connect a WM6 device it creates a new network connection which generally appears in the system tray. If you disable this (right click disable) active sync will stop working.

If you go into your network connections folder and re-enable any items that are disabled it should work. PROVIDED YOU HAVE TURNED OFF WINDOWS FIREWALL FIRST...

It does sound like a physical cable or connection problem though.

Hope that helps

Yours

Leon
