I think because Nokia Android One phones have better support than Xiaomi's.

His post is true actually, because in Android One, Google takes care of the software side while Xiaomi takes care to the hardware side so no surprising there is bugs in a software. Developers are working really hard to fix those issues. Each country receiving Pie Update may vary, due to the authorization of each software updates since some countries has much strict policy on each software to protect consumer's right. hence slower software updates (usually happens when upgrading an Operating system to another).

Xiaomi has improved their speed of software updates this year. Especially when you consider the last year Mi A1 which roll out Oreo update on 31 of December last year. Now Mi AW received faster software updates than A1. Good job Xiaomi btw.

This is more than obvious.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Gabskz:
I still facing this bug. Also, there's no items at smart lock screen, it's just blank. I've switched off FP scanner. CPU Z shows one cluster's minimal freq. at 1401mhz

8.1, v9.6.17
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] minnuss:
Nokia has like what, 5 phones on the market, Xiaomi has 50.

I'm not trying to justify them, but truthfully it is not comparable from a logical point of view.

[MENTION=5285769]Kusovi[/MENTION], If you want the update that badly, do a hard reset and push the OTA update from the guides that are here in forum, or flash the damn thing from fastboot.

Adults should be able to wait a few weeks for a stupid phone update.[/QUOTE]

It's not about being childish, firstly we bought this phone because we want to get updates as fast as possible, secondly it's important to discuss bugs, the FB bug was a major bug and should be discussed, thirdly a lot of people have MI A2 but they don't care about updates and they don't know that XDA exists in the first place, but clearly this is not the case here, people participating in this thread are mostly hardcore android fans and that's normal in XDA groups, lastly my friend if you are bothered by the comments just stop using XDA, as long as people are not breaking the form laws you have no right to speak like that
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sucky1983:
If you want fast updates and bugs fixed after a week then get a pixel. You can't expect that level of quality and support from a cheapo Chinese vendor like xiaomi. Software Developers have to be paid for the work. QS is not cheap and distribution/ certification for firmware for a worldwide available phone isn't neither.

This is a forum, where developers meet users, not children begging for treats. Most users come to this thread for Infos about the update, not to see people demand that xiaomi pampers them.

I am wasting my time here...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] zeus_89:
What do you mean, xiaomi is one of the biggest phone manufacturers in the world, just look up the charts and see for yourself and I'm sure that they can pay software developers, the company is not broke you know. About the bugs they didn't take the FB bug seriously until some MI A2 users reached to xda and androidaurhority and wrote articles about ot, you still can find these articles. Don't get offended but what people are writing, again they are not breaking any rules in this form
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ixyco96:
its processor bug .. processor work at max. without any reason. and drain battery
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carloandreaguilar:
Might have something to do with me using a 3rd party charging cable now. Im on pie.

I hadn't gotten the 1401 but in weeks (only when I would download rootless launcher)

Now I've gotten it every day for like a week. Probably charger related. Still sucks they haven't fixed this bug though
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Midomad:
I never faced the 1401 Mhz bug again since 1st November update(FPC sensor).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Kusovi:
Xiaomi has 3 (three) android one phones. MI A1, MI A2 and MI A2 lite. If they couldn't handle this three phones they should stop cheating people with "fast updates, regular updates bla bla bla".

And Xiaomi is one of the biggest smart phone manufacturers (after Samsung, Apple and Huawei) so talking about money for developers payments is just trolling and nothing else.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carloandreaguilar:
Did you face it before? Wired. People reported the bug was still there after 2st November update. I got the bug ONLY when I would download the luancher called rootless launcher. Now Im getting it from using a 3rd party USB C cable. At least that's why I think why. I'm now using the original cable only to test it out
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Midomad:
Yes,but not after that update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jceballos:
I don't think my phone has that, actually I'm surprised with battery life with this phone considering its 3.000 mAh Battery

The original cable that came with the phone is still in the box, I'm using a motorola cable and a USD $3 cable that I got in the supermarket and all is fine
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carloandreaguilar:
Are you sure the November update fixed it for you? How often did you get the bug before the update? Did you get it often or only once or twice? Might have been an app or something
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chriskwarren:
I think the phone has had quick updates; every month a security patch has been out and Pie seems imminent for most of the world.

The part that concerns me is the quality of the updates; I got two October and two November updates. That tells me that there were issues that had to be fixed asap two months in a row, which is not good.

I am anxious to get Pie here in Canada, but I certainly don't want to have to install Pie twice....I'm happy to let the folks in India, Belgium, and Netherlands beta test a major OS release. December is here now too...if I had to guess I would say we will get Pie with the Dec. security patch, with a few bugs worked out that were evident in the early upgraders.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Infernus-cz:
Hope you are right. And I also hope it will come around 5th of December, considering previous sec. updates
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Midomad:
I think we already discussed about this before...and yes 1401 mhz bug stopped after the 1st November update for me.

I was getting it very often,and i'm sure it's not an app fault.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

I updated to Pie using the VPN method with factory reset,and i can assure you that the build is rock solid and there is no major bugs.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] minnuss:
I can confirm this, PIE is already better then OREO, and it will get only better and better with new updates. :good:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] otousama:
I experienced the bug only ONE time after the November update, it was with more than 6 days uptime, but after rebooting I couldn't reproduce it anymore. Maybe it's just harder to trigger, unlike the previous full speed bug.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Leonardohernandez98:
For me the only major bug is the adaptive brightness turning low as soon as something comes close to the proximity sensor. Everything else is awesome, specially battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carloandreaguilar:
Yeah it seems like it's just harder to trigger. I had gone like 2 weeks without it
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RizwanH20:

I bought the device yesterday and I am so happy I got it at such a good time. Thank you for sharing

This update looks half baked, the notification area and quick toggles have no rounded corners and it awkward.

The Adaptive brightness is broken, it lowers the brightness to 19% each and everytime I turn it up according to my need.

Has anyone managed to get the OTA link?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] LuizHenrique91:
Not only because of this. Android Pie on Mi A2 prevents Google Camera of working because of security constraints. I saw it on the abd logcat. Looks like the gcam is not whitelisted

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

I think the rounded notification shade is not from AOSP, it's an modification exclusive to the pixels. Remember that Android One is basically AOSP and it's not derived from the Pixel's Android
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Neel@1234:
I'll still try enabling it and update if it works.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] dgadelha:
Actually, you're wrong. The logcat errors about whitelisting related to GCam are for Google's crash reporting, APKs without Google signature can't report crashes to Google (and that's what it says).

To enable Camera2 API on Pie you need to open the Terminal Emulator and run the following commands:

su
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled 1

And reboot. That should be enough, and it worked for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] LuizHenrique91:
Hmm, interesting! Thanks!

Does su works on TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] behzad.bz:
So if i flash that one and lock the bootloader, it will be ok then? Thats not beta and doesnt need to unlocking the boot loader for being in it
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] dgadelha:
No, you need to root your device first then run these commands in a Terminal Emulator.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RizwanH20:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kandarpjha:
I have noticed 2 weird bugs after updating to Pie:

1. When the clock alarm goes off and i turn it off by sliding to right, it says "alarm off" but keeps playing the alarm sound. There is no way to stop that sound other then restating the phone. This happens randomly every 2-3 days. I'm using default clock app.

2. Bluetooth doesn't get auto connected to paired devices when turned on. I have to go to Bluetooth settings to select a paired devices and then it gets connected.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Midomad:
It's the way how adaptive brightness works on Android Pie,you'll need to active it and teaches it by manually adjusting the slider,and, as the software trains over time, the user should need to make fewer manual adjustments.

More info here:

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/11/getting-screen-brightness-right-for.html?m=1
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Yesis:
There is actually an adaptive brightness bug, because I have it too (I previously installed android pie on Mi A1 so I already tested how this feature really works): when you slide the bar at the minimum level, whatever light condition there is, it always rises up. Even in total darkness it sets the brightness at 20%

I'm in the United Kingdom and still haven't got Android 9 for my mi a2 yet. Anyone else?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Endeavour1934:
That's the theory. In practice, I've been using Pie for two weeks and the adaptative brightness still fails to set my desired brightness level most of the time, and also constantly resets to 20%. The old auto brightness from Oreo is not as smooth, but at least it works as it should.

I also have many other bugs, but just that one makes the device almost unusable. I think they did the right thing by stopping the release.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kmarci94:
Nothing here in Hungary. My guess is that we will receive it with the December security patch that usually arrives around 6-7th day of the month.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carloandreaguilar:
My adaptive brightness works well in pie. It used to set it too low all the time, now it's setting it higher, albeit a little bit too high now sometimes. I still need to train it a little more to get it just right. It's definitely learning though
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Kusovi:
What's the Xiaomi doing with this update is really stupid.

There is no global ota update, but at the same time the VPN method still works, so there is obviously nothing wrong with update.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Kusovi:
They (Xiaomi people) are "racist" also. People asking about updates on miui forum and mi community and they always delete those threads. True communist methods from '70s and '80s, really.

If you are selling phones and at the same time playing such games as Xiaomi you could expect, that people will asking what's happening.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] minnuss:
It's working much better then in Oreo, it is snappier and faster overall when switching on and off. :good:

But you need to understand that it will never be fixed 100%, because it is physical location issue of proximity sensor on the phone itself, not just a software bug.

There are two patches upcoming *soon* to the Mi A2 according Xiaomi blog, December 1 and December 5.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
Some people don't have the time to format their phones or simply doesn't want to make that effort, don't act like it's a 2 minute thing, it's extremely inconvenient losing access to all my bank accounts, all my SMS and Phone History, having to download every single app again, logging in, setting my preferences app per app and so on. And also, do you know if the Indian version works like it should on every other location? Are all 4G bands the same? Isn't there anything specific? Just because it works for you, it doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. Picture me losing a sh*t ton of time formatting my phone to get an update that doesn't work where I am, what a waste.

VPN is for those who really can't wait, but also can't complain if something goes wrong, the update wasn't meant for them. :good:
