I am curious here, anyone here is actually a beta tester for Mi A2 (meaning getting the updates early for beta testing)?

Even with the beta testing programme in place, no beta testers actually found these problems and report back, so giving devs a false sense of confirmation and pushed out a buggy update? Not just the case with recent Android 10 release, previous Android 9 monthly patches, all seem to have broken something. Just my hunch. :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
Would it be fair to say that, judging from the Android 10 rollout, we are all bets testers?

Just a wild guess based on something that used to be true for specific updates on Mi A1, maybe this update was made available only to people registered in the google play services beta?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SciG:
I don't think so, update showed up for me and I'm not registered in the beta testing program. And fortunately I did not become an involuntary beta tester either by installing it instantly. I leave that to people with a little more masochistic attitude :)

My bug

My bug: when i call someone on Facebook messenger or someone calls me audio not working the only way to make messenger calls is to start a video call and then close the camera
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] rosmaris:

My bluetooth headphone works as it should. No extra settings. Mine is a TWS Joyroom JR-T04S. By the way I did a factory rest
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kandarpjha:
The option of "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload" is switched on and greyed out. How can I change this? I'm still on Android 9.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] theasters:
Just for Android 10.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] HRSE:
1. This topic is meant for Android 10, you may have to ask elsewhere to confirm if that setting is locked on by default on Android 9.

2. Since you are on android 9, is there any need to care about this setting?

3. Did you install any software or magisk module or xposed module or any other tweak that may affect Bluetooth?

4. Have you tried turning off dev mode? Normally all dev settings are reverted to default when dev mode is off.

5. Have you tried resetting Bluetooth? In Android 10 it's under settings > system > advanced > reset options
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kandarpjha:
1 and 2. This is relevant for this thread because, if you read previous messages on this thread, this option has to be switched off and then on for bluetooth audio to work after upgrading to Android 10.

3. I have not modified anything on my device

4. I tried turning the dev mode on and off but this setting remains greyed out only.

5. I have tried resetting network settings in Android 9. No change.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] drt1:
The setting must only be turned off, not back on, and not in all cases. Only sone people reported having this kind of bug. Normally the upgrade will take care of this. Why do you even care about this if you're in pie and have no problems with Bluetooth?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] HRSE:
This mean the setting is probably locked on by default.

There are more than 1 case that there is no issue with Bluetooth after upgrading to Android 10 even when not touching that option in Android 9, so there is no conclusion yet, but you can poke around the settings if you wish to force that to off.

Although, it can be challenging without root and there are more chances to mess up Android 10 upgrade if too many settings are changed, as there was an OTA note that some features are removed and you may have to redo some settings. Also, the update is on hold, so there's not much point focusing on finding the cause or workaround now, xiaomi may figure out at their side when the next update is available.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] anshmiester78900:
By looking into Xiaomi's track record I don't think it will be released this month.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] rosmaris:
i figured out eventually what was going on. After the update for some reason, the option Disable Bluetooth A2DP was turned on. After switching it off everyting went back to normal, but the strange thing is that a lot of users had the same problem!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jorikello:
Most of the errors described here disappeared after I reset the settings. But one thing remains - suggestions for personalization in tinctures. And another question - guys, can you turn off vibration when using a fingerprint sensor?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ntrindade:
hi,

to remove personalization suggestions;

Settings-> Apps and notifications-> See all app's -> Click on the 3 dot's -> Show system

Search for "Settings Suggestion" -> Clear cache and data

It worked on mine.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work for me.

Did you get the "personalise device" notification stuck, or the "add email account" one?

I have the second one, after fully wiping, so that may play a part on why it doesn't work here.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ntrindade:
i got the "personalization device".

try to remove and add again the email account.

it is very strange that the bug's / experience are so different for each person.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] birdflesh:
I had the "choose wallpaper" one after update and then the "add another email" after full wiping. Don't bother adding an email, it will not go away. Unfortunately, wiping settings suggestions data didn't work for me too. Anyway, at least we are getting paid. ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Thuyamo:
It should be turned off, if it's on the Bluetooth audio won't work for some reason.

What about vibration when using a fingerprint scanner? How to disable it?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ntrindade:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
yep, hotspot works on just 2.4 (probly related to the wifi slow bug - i.e. doesn't work on 5ghz)

and yes, can confirm, clearing storage/cache on the settings suggestion fixed the annoying personalize device thing, thanks a bunch!

There been a post about the update in this thread go look at the other post
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jorikello:
After such low-quality updates, I want to try other ROMs, like PixelExpirience. In general, I am disappointed with the way Xiaomi participates in the AndroidOne program. My friend (with Nokia) had received the update Android 10 back in October, and there are no such errors that we observe in Mi A2.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurensu:
PE is super stable and polished. We now have working Google Play security updates and OTAs, Enforcing SELinux and a new build with FBE should drop next week.

I think that Nokia is much better with updates in general, but a locked bootloader is a no-go for me. The only locked device that I may consider buying is an iPhone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] HRSE:
there are not many android one devices available, and within these limited options, no one can beat xiaomi when it comes to price-performance ratio though.

speaking of errors/bugs, even the top brands like samsung, apple, microsoft, boeing, etc. can mess up big time, so i don't expect much from xiaomi, but i believe xiaomi is still much better than no-brand chinese phones.

in case you are fed up with xiaomi firmware, you can switch to many available custom ROMs, because there is a huge xiaomi community out there. but this will not be the same for other brands within the same price range.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
Same here, well, even if I don't find current bugs as deal breaking, the UI bugs and glitches alone bug me a lot. Since it's the last major update for us, I'm tempted to root and try PE. Only thing I'm worried about is magisk hide not working and breaking banking apps snapchat etc but we'll see.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurensu:
Why rooting? Root is not necessary even on a custom ROM, I've been running PE for months without root and my bank app works flawlessly.

If you want to try PE, my advice is to wait a bit for the new FBE build to come out, together with TWRP decryption support.

Hi there, thanks for your reply, here are your answeres:

1- obviously, you can't jump straight from 8 to 10

2- there are already phones with SD660 which support ARCore, you better check your facts, even less powerful SoCs support it.

14- no it's not, it was removed in pixels only because Google decided to rebrand and introduce it's own face unlock system. It's still present on other phones with Android 10 ( including older Google phones like Pixel 3 etc. ) and AOSP.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] MariferC:
1 If the device is released with Android 9 Google "strongly recommends" the use of camera HAL3, but this was released with Oreo. I think that's what he means.

2 Yes, for example the Moto G6 with sdm450.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
Wait, I can install a custom rom without rooting, but since I've flashed custom recovery and rom, won't that break safetynet causing specific apps not to work?

By the way, any drawback in updating now? I mean, would I need to wipe again when the FBE build is released?

[MENTION=5141454]HRSE[/MENTION] (sorry, apparently I can't multi quote on Tapatalk) I haven't played with root for about two years since my HTC days, but I do remember having issues with magisk hide some times.

i've heard about TWRP decryption for a long time, but this feature never arrives to mi a2, and it also never arrives to redmi 5 plus.

is it because TWRP devs have no plan to bring this feature to mi a2/redmi 5 plus, or these devices themselves have some limitation that can't have TWRP decryption?
