The performance is better than on Android 9. Or at least it seems better because of the smoother animations.

There is significantly higher battery drain.

Found another UI bug. When having bluetooth headphones on and you press the volume buttons, you also get a small settings button right below the slider. When you tap on it you're getting a pop-up window where you can select individual media/calls/alarm volumes -and- you also have the option to switch between active media playback devices (phone/bluetooth headphones/speakers etc).

But when tapping on switch media playback device, nothing happens, popup window just minimises and appears again. You still have to open settings to switch playback device.

Can anyone confirm?

Device Personalization Services should be a system app to be able to function at all. For some reason it was not included in the update, so installing/uninstalling from play store now won't make any difference.

The whole update seems like an unintendedly released pre-beta, it's only normal that it was soon after pulled back.

Italy here. I have a Mi A2 4/64 with November 2019 patch.

Android 10 update appeared some days ago, then disappeared yesterday (and December 2019 update appeared again).

I think Xiaomi withdrew Android 10 update: for those who already updated, I hope to see a stable Android 10 before the end of January 2020.

How about emmc bug? Is it still there? Is it confirmed that it is hardware issue?

These buggy android one in xiaomi made me burn my money to buy Huawei Nova 5t just because:

I cannot install parallel space (yes. It is not xiaomi problem. It's parallel's dev prob),

I cannot set below 19% brightness when adaptive set on,

I felt my mi a2 slower in performance (I open iFunny app and close it to background. But not too long when I open it, it reloads. That won't happen when I use redmi note 7. iFunny didnt reload when I reopen the app).

Waiting for new phone arrived. But I will still use mi a2 for a while
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] HRSE:
i remember i had a mental struggle with myself about whether i should buy an Android One phone then root it.

It turned out that rooting Mi A2 gives me more gain (debloat, backup with TWRP, replace hosts file, tweak CPU governor, better support for Automagic/Tasker/ Greenify) than loss (some extra steps needed for OTA), so i decided to root, and I have no regret up till now.

But if this Mi A2 had NFC or i had my own family, then the story might not be the same.

Apparently everything works fine except the wifi connection. When connected to a 5 GHz wifi network, you will not be able to get more than 60 MB download speed.

Hey guys, just wondering is someone has an Amazfit Bip connected with their A2. I'm having trouble reconnecting the watch to the phone after losing connection.

For instance, I walk away from the phone until it becomes out of reach for the Bip to keep connected. I then walk back to the phone and, before the update, it would reconnect in no time at all. Now or takes a lot of time out it doesn't reconnect at all.

Anyone else with this problem?

Paid people? C'mon now, the update has issues, performing some crazy adb stunts is not the way to solve them... It's just bad, as it was expected as it was delivered.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Reptant:
Enter *#*#86583#*#* in Dialer. You enabled it in settings,might need to restart your phone to see it, or to get it enabled.

Update is far from *perfect* , but some people are overreacting

Most problems can be solved by factory resetting, which albeit isn't the most comfortable solution, but isn't really a bad thing to do in Major version update (especially since it's the last one Mi A2 is gonna get)

Some observations - opinions:

WiFi bug is real, got it before factory reset but after factory resetting it seems to be normal ( i can get 50/50 down/up, which is the same i get at my desktop)

VoLTE was enabled in PIE, same procedure in 10, still sucks( echo )

WiFI calling finally got enabled, still sucks ( echo )

Cam2Api can be enabled same as PIE, GCAM works a little better, but breaks stock camera ( i think it's solvable, i remember seeing a thread somewhere about forcing camera to use legacy API, like apps like Instagram do)

Gmail bug still exists

Phone is faster, battery seems to be draining a little quicker, but it's tolerable

Can't change navigation buttons orientation(back button to the right) but that's more down to Google than Xiaomi

And let's be real..yes the stuck notification on Settings suck, but really how much time do you spend looking at the settings menu? you get used to it, it's not a deal breaker

(and this is coming from a past flashoholic, that used to change ROMs daily for minor disturbances - one solution would be going back to November PIE, but the bugs are not phone-breaking)

Thanks for the suggestion, enabling/disabling the carrier check for volte and rebooting doesn't affect the absence of the switch in settings.

Btw, my carrier is Vodafone GR and it does not officially support volte on mi a2.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
Have you enabled volte in your carrier? To do so you must put your sim in a phone that Vodafone supports, enable it, then put it back in the A2. That's how I did it on Cosmote and it worked.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] birdflesh:
Thank you for your suggestion.

Volte is enabled by the carrier and it works when carrier check is disabled, what changed from pie to 10 is the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" switch in settings which is now absent.

Anyway, it's not a big deal since I rarely need to disable volte.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PsicoPete:
I'll try unpairing & re-pairing the Bip. I guess it can't hurt.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
Weird, I do get it on my device. When you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go into phone information, does the volte option appear enabled? (It should be greyed out, but enabled).

Edit: make sure you're looking for the switch in the right place, settings, networks, cellular network, advanced.

If it's not there, then I guess you can only enable/disable it through the dialer code...

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BtB:
Well, I do still have this switch myself... are you 100% sure it's gone?

And I did not (yet) factory reset (I'll probably do it after a slightly better update), did not have to re-remove carrier check, VoLTE was (still) there out of the box after the OTA.

Of course as it was mentionned before your carrier needs to have it enabled on his side, many carriers (like mine) do it normally only on iPhones and other "premium" phones that they have sold. Personally I managed to get customer service to enable it for me because they don't understand ****. :)

About wifi.. did a factory reset twice, first restoring a backup, second starting fresh.

And NO wifi isn't fine.

You get 50mbps... For how much do you pay for? 2.4ghz ou 5ghz wifi?

But i have 500mbps contract, I get 510 to 520 on my desktop, so the service is fine.

On my A2 USED to get 280 to 300ish, seems about right since it's a 1x1 ac wifi module. Now I'm lucky if I get 50.

So definitely something isn't right and a factory reset doesn't solve it.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
I can confirm. I have a 50Mbps contract, 2.4ghz router.

On my computer (cable) I get about 47 to 49Mbps. On my phone and other devices (through WiFi) I used to get about 35-40Mbps next to the router and about 30Mbps in the living room. Not ideal, but channels are congested in my area.

Now on my A2 I get ~15Mbps next to the router and ~10Mbps on my living room. Tested with other devices and that only happens on my phone. Something is definitely not right here.

I did factory reset after the update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PsicoPete:
Well the unpairing - re-pairing procedure on the Bip worked-ish... still takes an awful amount of time to reconnect. With pie it was almost instantaneous as both, phone and watch, where in range.

Anyone else with an Amazfit Bip (or some other smartwatch/band) that can check out if that happens to you?

It's not only the 5Ghz band that's crap right now. On my 2.4Ghz home network I used to max out on the download speed. Last night ran a few speed tests and the best I got was 5.4Mbps. Bummer!

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akpe:
I know I'm being paranoid here, but that's probably why we got Android 10 with the December security update. If we had gotten Android 10 with January's security update, and it got pulled, those of us who installed it would probably need to wait until February's update to get the fixes.

But now, they'll just push them along with January's update, and we won't have to wait for a month.

That's actually the first thing I thought about when I read we got 10 with December update, no evidence to back this up, but it does sound logical. Thankfully most bugs weren't that serious, like reboots or bricks, but my OCD is really starting to flare up with the GUI issues :D
