Android One promises Monthly security patch and two major Update. Release date of major update is not fixed. But, saying that monthly security patch will be provided means the patch will arrive WITHIN the month concerned. February is almost ending, it will be nice to glorify Xiami's Android One program by rolling out Feb security patch in March ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] evanB70:
Agreed. Xiaomi is being ridiculous here.

However, I think they will roll out Android 10 update for the Mi A3 in early/mid March, hence no security patch update for Feb 2020. But looking at their record, nothing can be said with certainty.

Still, they keep blaming the global situation due to coronavirus but they update their MIUI phones first and not the Android One devices when the latest should be a priority. And friendly reminder, we have paid for this, I say.

I don't believe them anymore.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] papsr6:
You do well that don't believe them.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Codebucket:
You paid for regular security updates, which they did not fail to deliver for February, as it's rolling out now over ETA.

Newly released phones are planned several months ahead and are launched with Android 10 because it's a requirement set by Google for devices launched after January 2020.

Read more about Android One and it's idea over here: https://www.android.com/one/

Coming back to the coronavirus, in China they were celebrating the Chinese New Year at begin of February and on top of these holidays, they also had closed all stores and offices in affected regions as a precaution later.

It's a lot harder to create an update from Android Pie to Android 10 than to release a phone with Android 10, it requires extensive beta testing in order to make sure the update will not cause any data loss etc.

If you don't believe me then ask the developers over at LineageOS that tried their best in the past with migrating users to newer versions.

Also, if you want to be the first with Android updates, then buy a Pixel phone or phone like the Essential PH-1.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mewcatchew:
I personally like the Mi A3, and I love the 720 AMOLED screen a lot of people are whining about. But I believe the phone was a flop as far as sales go, and as that goes this phone is low priority and they are dragging their feet with android 10 - it was released 7 months ago and we did pay for 2 OS updates AS WELL as monthly security updates. That's what Xiaomi advertised. No excuses

Yesterday sumit sonal said that Mi A3 update is halted due to Coronavirus attack and update plan will be reveled soon, Today they released updates for three of miui phones (screenshot). they are giving excuses for updates but release Android 10 for K20 today. i think they are fooling us by giving different different statement. One thing is pretty clear, we should avoid A series in future. :eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wilburyh:
We have paid for latest Android too, not only security patches (by the way, that lately came to the end of the month).

It's cool to defend the company, but the problem comes from before. Our device should have been updated months ago and in my opinion, before Mi A2 because it's newer. Also they didn't help so much by lying us about the ETA.

Besides, about the update, as I've heard it's the Indian development team the one that is attending it, so the excuses they provided don't make much sense.

The truth is that Xiaomi don't care enough about this phone and that's a shame. It's okay to develop new devices but they have the duty to support the ones they already have launched. It's disappointing because this company used to keep updated even older models, but it seems they left that policy.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Codebucket:
It's easy to complain without having any knowledge about the reality. Here is the thing, the Snapdragon 665 (platform name trinket) got released in April 2019 and was one of the last SoC to receive updated source code from CAF to work on the Android 10 update.

While other SoCs like the Snapdragon 660 or 855 received it around March/April last year, our Snapdragon 665 received it half a year later, in late September 2019, a month after Android 10 was released to the public.

It was already impossible from the beginning for Xiaomi to work on the Android 10 update when they had no proper source code from CAF to work on.

Android One means you have paid for regular security updates and 2 OS updates, but for the last one there is no strict rule saying when you are receiving it.

Some sources claim that OEMs have up to 6 months time since the release of the new Android version to deliver the OS update. (edit: it's now 5 months since Android 10 release)

Once again, look around at other phones running the Snapdragon 665 released in 2019, none* of them has received Android 10, with some models like the Moto G8 Plus (stock Android huh?) or Oppo A5 2020 having their ETA set to Summer 2020.

*Brazil only Android 10 update for the Moto G7 Plus doesn't count, it's same as saying that 1000 Mi A3 users in India received the Android 10 update to test
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wilburyh:
Yes, I'm not a developer so I'm not gonna say that working on the update is easy or not cause I don't really know.

But I'm just a costumer that has been fooled by Xiaomi. That is what I said a few messages ago. Is it difficult to upgrade this device to A10? Okay, say it, people will understand. But the problem here is that the company have been lying to us all this time from the beginning when they said this device would be one of the firsts to get Android Q.

They have made a mistake and that leads to consequences. They have to admit its errors before giving excuses.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] papsr6:
This for new soc for me is big lie.

Many developers makes custom roms android 10 and works.

Why xioami developers cant?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mewcatchew:
Moto G8 Plus was released after the Mi A3, and isn't an Android One phone. Also they aren't lying since October 2019 that it will be released the next month (Xiaomi says this every month).

Oppo A5 2020; Again, this isn't an Android One phone and never advertised as one. Your argument is apples and oranges.

Lets be honest, Xiaomi doesn't care about this phone or that it's Android One, it was a commercial flop.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Codebucket:
Never heard or saw Xiaomi officially saying that the Mi A3 will be the first to get Android 10 and by looking at the fact that the Snapdragon 665 received source code from CAF a month after Android 10 already shows that.

Also, tweets from a VPs personal account don't count, as these are his personal opinions and are in no way taken as company endorsements.

Custom ROMs are far from perfect and have bugs because of the Android Pie vendor developers can only use as for now, Xiaomi cannot simply release an update like that.

Again, apart from customer support chat (which even on Mi Community is confirmed as bs), there was no official word taken except the mid February and then postponed due to recent outbreak in China, nothing you can really do about except helping them to fight the virus.

The argument is not apples and oranges, as Moto G series is running same stock Android as Android One phones and Motorola has no other core project to work on, unlike Xiaomi with it's main priority being MIUI, which should have been clear before buying the phone...

You receive regular security patch updates, so Xiaomi does care about this phone, otherwise it would treat us like other flagship OEMs that still did not deliver security updates or outdated to their latest phone (hint: 1+7)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wilburyh:
Communications by people working at Xiaomi should be as reliable as official announcements, and the ones made by local stores too. And if not, at the end Xiaomi is the responsible for cutting fake info their own workers are announcing.

It's true that people are getting mad about the update, but there's still no point for defending the company. They permitted this.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] papsr6:

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mewcatchew:
"Also, tweets from a VPs personal account don't count, as these are his personal opinions and are in no way taken as company endorsements." Are you for real?

"The argument is not apples and oranges, as Moto G series is running same stock Android as Android One phones and Motorola has no other core project to work on, unlike Xiaomi with it's main priority being MIUI, which should have been clear before buying the phone..." Blame the customer while ignoring false advertising???

Either you work for Xiaomi, or are a fanboy.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Codebucket:
Yes, a VP tweet is same pointless as customer support chat, he has no idea what is going on and honestly you can't really blame him, he is just endorsing the brand he works for.

Once again, there was no false advertising stating any ETA on paper when you will receive the OS update. You receive regular security patch updates and behave now like a toddler while Xiaomi has now gone through Chinese New Year break and the virus outbreak, don't you think that you are exaggerating now?

And to answer your last question, no, in fact I dislike Xiaomi for their MIUI devices (I have a Redmi Note 3 still at home) and chose the Mi A3 knowing exactly what I'm paying for: cheap price for hardware
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mewcatchew:
"Tweets from a VPs personal account don't count, as these are his personal opinions" Yes they absolutely do!

"Once again, there was no false advertising stating any ETA on paper when you will receive the OS update. You receive regular security patch updates and behave now like a toddler while Xiaomi has now gone through Chinese New Year break and the virus outbreak, don't you think that you are exaggerating now?" Xiaomi was late with the monthly update to be technical, but i'm more bent out of shape from being lied to about getting android 10.

"And to answer your last question, no, in fact I dislike Xiaomi for their MIUI devices (I have a Redmi Note 3 still at home) and chose the Mi A3 knowing exactly what I'm paying for: cheap price for hardware" I'm glad you choose to drink the Koolaide but pretty much everyone else hasn't.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Codebucket:
If so, go ahead and file an anti-consumer claim, they will do nothing about that.

They were, but they fulfilled the promises of Android One, nothing again to complain.

Looking at the fastboot ROM release dates, they aren't that much late compared to other months: https://mirror.codebucket.de/firmware/laurel_sprout/

Android One is not for someone who wants to be first with new Android version, this should be clear after doing some research.

https://www.android.com/one/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_One

Reading those sites, Android One is promising the following things:

Bloatware free, stock Android experience

Monthly regular security updates for 3 years

Two major OS updates (=2 years)

Stock Google apps & services

Although they say fast updates, it's up to each OEM and region differently and nowadays it isn't taking that long anymore like 2 years ago.

It is totally rushed and looks more like a beta, it has left over Qualcomm reporting apps (that stuff is not supposed to be in production), the camera app has experimental features enabled without any special file (again, not supposed) and not forgot to mention the non working Pro mode in the camera app.

Edit: Most problems with FOD and "Device Personalization Services" are gone after doing a factory reset, typical...

Xiaomi just did it to calm down people and ended up with same **** as Mi A2 at the beginning, nothing learned...

Flashed the update manually, i did'nt receive the official update.

-As mentioned, google connectivity services icon and device personalisation services in app drawer.

-There is a number 4 in the wifi icon.

-In the settings menu there is a suggestion "add another email account" that can not be removed.

-In settings, security, the security status shows google play system update on november 1. 2019

-Also fod works, but you have to press power button to activate display to unlock with fingerprint.

-The theme is dark, but it's not amoled black, its more dark blue(in settings. The qs are amoled black). Can't choose style like in pixel experience, but i don't know if that is normal with android one or not.

No lags, no app crashing, no battery draining, performance is normal (better than pixel experience)

That's it
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Codebucket:
Most issues are gone after a factory reset, and style chooser is only available on Pixel phones, can be added using a Magisk module.

That number in the wifi icon indicates what GHz your wifi network is, 4 stands for 2.4 GHz, 5 for 5 GHz, although strangely that icon is not present on the Mi A2 with Android 10.

The dark gray is no different to battery life than pure black, that has been proven by Google at last years Google I/O.

Well, about the number in the icon, i didn't know it was a new feature.

About the the dark grey, aren't the pixels turned off on amoled displays when the color is black ? At least i thought that they were.

How do i request thr update ?

Btw. I'm just mentioning these things as inperfections. I still like it more than all the custom roms with android Q. There are no bugs that prevent me from normal use. Very smooth overall. Plus, i didn't receive the official update, i flashed it manually, so that has probably played a part in these bugs.
