[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
My experiences after almost a week with the new OS, which was updated successfully the first time.

-Battery with SOT is ok, no problems there, nothing different compared to Pie

-Battery stand-by seems again quite ok, I might even say it's a little bit better than before

-The LCD backlight leds now seems to be visible on bright white boot screen and on dark mode as well. The PWM modulation for the LED modules might be off here.

-3rd party OEM apps from other devices straight out don't work and force close. I was using the full sony suite for everything, music, photos, etc.

-The pixel customization doesn't go away even after you "customized" your device again, and it's annoying.

-Full SD Card access cannot be found in settings, and would only appear after you try editing files with specific app

-All other play store apps work fine without a problem

-The update did reset the battery optimization AI or whatever that function is called and sometimes apps notifications for specific less used apps since the update don't wake the phone up, apps that were previously used and started behaving correctly after a while

-The new radio app by Qualcomm has the UI of an app made for 2000's era which do not look good at all, the old Xiaomi app is still in the system. The new app cannot be user disabled, and the old app cannot be user enabled. Bummer!

-The audio FX in Audio settings is missing and the old problem with a non-root system wide DSP (Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO) is still persisting.

-The audio quality seems a little better now

-The animations are a little bit too fast, and I only found a glitch when pulling an app from full screen to recent screen and letting go before actually triggering the recent, the animation stutters

-Sometimes, on rare occasions, the phone would lag when woke up from deep sleep, but I believe this might be a normal thing since our SOC is old and a lot of apps suddenly wake up and request system resources at once. This may be fixed once the battery AI would see how each of us use the phone.

-The device customization app now being persistent into the app drawer is an easy fix. Hold app and uninstall. Reboot. Go to play store, download the app again, reboot. Now everything should be ok, and the app should be still working.

Overall... my list only proves that this new update is barely an unfinished product, pushed out extremely fast just to keep up with the Android One program. The new Qualcomm data collector tool means that ... Xiaomi didn't actually have anything to do with this update except push it out to devices, or maybe pursuing the Qualcomm company to work faster to keep the Android One schedule.

Also, maybe people should [MOD EDIT] contribute more to this thread, and we should report to Xiaomi our problems. That plus the data collector from Qualcomm now integrated into the device would fix our problems extremely like in a matter of a few months. But if you think that you deserve everything at a extremely low price point, and start calling names and don't actually stop, think, act accordingly you are not going to fix anything. Just stop filling every thread with hate, and start filling the threads with technical information we can push forward to Xiaomi.
