Guys come on, don't worry about Pie update because Xiaomi certainly are not. Their job is to release as many phones as possible, with software experience coming second. They will do the bare minimum to meet you Android One partner agreement and that's it.

Me, I'm fine with it because Oreo is good for me and my phone works no problem.

It's an shame for Xiaomi to release an important update on limited markets, then leave forgotten the rest, this is not a progressive rollout, it was just an advertising trick ahead that massive retail stores opening at India past month.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] mauley:
The problem is, you bought a Xiaomi. They don't have the best track record with updates. I bought mine knowing that hence why I am fine with it but a lot of others, such as yourself, are not.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] thegsmoker:
Did the people received the official Pie update got December security patch (excluding the VPN method) ?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Gabskz:
Personally, I'm ok with Oreo. Yes, it has some bugs, serious ones too (as problem with CPU stucking headache and battery drainage as a result) but what phone does not?

Pie is good, all my black heart is waiting for it (well, maybe not all literally, though) but is it good enough to be so much nervous about? Will it change my life drastically? Don't think so.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AcostaJA:
Quite apologetic, almost convince me to not click again check for updates....

BTW, Xiaomi it's an shame, this "progressive" rollout, actually seems "repressive" rollout...:fingers-crossed:

Church...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] galardo_2:
you guys remember Xiaomi Mi A1, it was the company's first smartphone to take part in the Android One program, hence the name.

There's no Android Two, so the Mi A2 sticks to Android One - meaning pure Android experience with quick updates (???) as soon as Google's done with them. Sure enough, the Mi A2 we have here is running the latest (stable) Android 8.1 Oreo, though it's still on the November security patch for some cryptic reason
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] pgkane:
At this point, I think Xiaomi is keeping Pie from us just to piss AcostJA off.

I'm imagining them sitting around the office watching for posts from some people here and laughing their a$$es off. "He said "repressive"!! Haaaaaaaaaaa"

AcostaJA, can you please go easy on Xiaomi so we can get our Pie?? Thanks!! ;);):p:p

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carloandreaguilar:
They're just fixing bugs in our before it goes global. India and Netherlands were the lab rats who tried the buggy version. It definitely has bugs, I clueing a horrendous ringtone distortion that's hard to listen to, which happens if you set "also vibrate on calls" ON.

I've now noticed the ram management is too generous now and it make the phone crash really bad. If you keep opening apps and fill the entire 4gb of ram, even the oldest apps won't close and it fills up the entire 4gb (check the free ram in cached processes inside developer settings) and the phone starts getting unbearably slow and unresponsive until I clear all apps. I hope they fix that
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kmarci94:

Xiaomi a2 featuring android last project
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigZ12:
I'm considering buying the Mi A2. Is the Android Pie out in Norway, with OTA?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aftaminas:
Yes and no. Since you are buying it now, it's easy for you to upgrade to Pie, since you have no personal data in the phone. Anyone else that has bought it before, requires data wipe and a factory reset
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigZ12:
Yes, I'm going to set it up as a new phone. Will be my phone nr 2 (use iPhone through work) Just wanted to play around with Android Pie, testing LDAC on my Sony MX3 etc etc

I want to use the backup I've created from my iPhone on Google drive (contacts/pics/calendar). I guess that's possible?

You say it's easy... I will get the update automatically through OTA, or do I have to use VPN (as I've seen some mention)?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aftaminas:
VPN. Bought one for my brother, on Black Friday, upgraded to Pie in half hour
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigZ12:
So in which order do I do it?

I start the phone, don't log in to any Google / Xiaomi service. Just blank phone?

I have a sub on Private Internet Access VPN, but to install that I need to log in to Googe Play, don't I?

And what country do I connect? Netherlands?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aftaminas:
Choose english from India (so that you can read the instructions). Before connecting to the internet, turn off geo location. You can use your sub, but instead of downloading from playstore, google for the its apk. Then choose Amsterdam on the VPN. Alternatively, download expressVPN, it just asks for a random email, doesn't even need to exist, and choose Amsterdam
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] MaKTaiL:
Mi A1 is having the same problem guys. The update came out for India and Netherlands and people are being forced to update using VPN if they live somewhere else, exactly the same method we are using here.

I now believe Xiaomi is deliberately withholding the update to the rest of the world for some odd reason. If they are trying to send a message of "don't import our phones if we don't sell them in your country" then I think they delivered it. I'm not buying a Xiaomi phone ever again.

It's not true

This phone was launched in 40 countries not only 2

My country is supported by Xiaomi and no update yet

I was a Nexus and Pixel user and is true, Google launches faster updates, but in new releases the first weeks the OTA don't appear to all users

In some cases security patches appear to end users 2 or 3 weeks later if the user is not checking for updates.

If you want faster update apply the OTA or use the VPN method, we now have the update and we can upgrade to pie, other phones can't update yet or simply wait until it appear on your phone
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AcostaJA:
Xiaomi is hidding some weakness with this odd behavior about updates release.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] nyssss:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Darshan28:
I have both A1 and A2 in India. Updated to Pie on A2 but no update on the A1 checked for updates several times. The update is available only in Netherlands on the A1 as of now
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carloandreaguilar:
That's because you probably close apps. I never close apps, ever. That's how Android and iOS are supposed to works they're supposed to auto manage ram so you never need to manually close apps. If you try opening 40 apps on this ñhonez once the 4gb ram fill up it will get incredibly laggy and slow throughout the system
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akobor:
A bit off maybe, but I picked up a Nokia 7 plus few days ago from my carrier on a free deal, because I was curious about HMD's QA (software and hardware too). Frankly, the result is disappointing, however the 7 plus and A2 share the same spec.

HMD rolled out their Pie ~2 months ago, and it's still a buggy mess with full of UI glitches, huge battery drain issues, etc. The only advantage the 7 plus has is the enabled camera2 api, but the google camera ports at this time are so unstable, that this isn't a real selling point to me (and the factory camera is much worse than A2's).

The point is, that the A2's first Pie rom (which I got through the VPN method) is rocksolid, compared to Nokia's, and I think everybody would be happier with a late, but stable rom, than a buggy one.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] vagsvag:
My opinion is to w8 for stable version and not to be a beta tester of xiaomi. I tried also pie and rolled back to 8.1 because the firmware has major bugs, 1rst 1401mhz bug, 2ond power button, the phone doesn't boot with normal press only vibrates, for boot needs to keep power button (reset) the phone, sound bug also and more smaller. Also I think they know about all these because I checked anti rollback at pie before downgrade and was number 1 and oreo has number 2.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jceballos:
I don't have any of the bugs you mentioned, for me is stable with no major bugs (updated with VPN method)

Only bug I noticed was the latency at the edges of the display and only noticed it after reading about it. I didn't use Oreo but apparently this was worse in Oreo for what I've read

I've noticed that notifications have the same sound for all apps since upgrading to Pie. For example, calendar has no longer the unique notification, Snapchat either. They all use the system default notification. Anyone else noticed this?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kishd:
Might be that you cannot downgrade after the next ota. Not the "beta" that was originally tested.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] MaKTaiL:
You CAN rollback but it's not advised.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] vagsvag:
Probably, also I checked anti rollback at pie before downgrade and was number 1 and oreo has number 2.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kishd:
I also think that most likely they mean you cannot rollback and keep your data, though probably possible to rollback with a full wipe.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ixyco96:
how you managed to roll back from pie to oreo?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kishd:
I wiped data and flashed the full Oreo rom with fastboot under Linux.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] enapah:
Actually, an even worst decision is to not patch known security flaws in a timely fashion, regardless of the patch being in Pie or Oreo.

I know we are all eager to get the latest Android version, but I don't want to be exposed to security vulnerabilities longer than I need to.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] thegsmoker:
The Situation that Mi A1 and 2 owners are in at the moment is not bad in my opinion (Comparing to the rest of OEM's) Yet, I understand that it makes sense to start with India (They are the largest user base) it works in terms of marketing and works as testing method (a Large number of users means more reports and bug flags).

The question is why stable as long as you're still in a testing period.. sort of :confused:

Let's get over this "factory reset after a major update". We're on XDA, we're all in this thing, but it's a 200 bucks phone aimed to ppl not really into tech and android forum. My dad is a typical customer for this kind of phone. And we can't expect my dad tunneling through nerdy forums after he just hit "update" button in the morning.

It's not 1995 anymore guys, we know factory is best option to correct minor bugs after a big release but I can't waste 2 hours logging into 2.000 apps and email address because otherwise phone is lagging as hell and can't be used properly.

Buggy for you, doesn't mean it is for others!

You asked, we answered.

What types of responses did you expect, when you're the only one reporting this?

And it's already known for ages*,that a clean flash is recommended after a big/major update,

For eg.with the recently updated OP5/OP5T devices to Pie, the oneplus team clearly recommended a clean flash.
