I just got the update. I am not in beta. Just ckecked system updates and got it.
I was getting 8h SOT… And now I’m still getting 8h of SOT.
Updated and tested. The bug has been fixed.
Audio is good, bit louder, but still not as loud as before May. Obviously they are very concerned about our hearing, even tho I never listened to max volume for more than 20 minutes before the May update, otherwise my ears started to hurt. The amp is really powerful.
Does anyone having a problem with VoLTE? Mine can’t detect signal post June update
What issue did you have with it?
Clear data for Carrier Services and Google Service Framework (choose system from upper left in apps tab to find it), before checking for update. Update will show immediately.
* Bugfixes
* Battery and performance optimisations
* Apps are limited to 1 notification sound per second, no more sound spam.
* Better text selection
* New power menu
* Dark UI when using a dark background
* Many UI changes that makes the OS more pretty
* Bluetooth battery status
* WiFi speed labels
Happy?
Add a Spigen case and a glass screen protector to your order, too. This device is as pretty as it is fragile. If you’re clumsy, you need a THICC cover and a thicc screen protector.

GPS seemed to go to shit in the last update, any improvement?
Sometimes it works in second try.
Are you using the stock launcher? What’s up with that overused white thing around the dock. Looks terrible.
I bought from Honorbuy since they had it in EU warehouse. A bit pricey compared to Aliexpress sellers but excellent quality and speed. And remember, screen *with frame* is what you want.
Just updated! This is the best smartphone yet! 🐂
There’s no backup option as far as I can tell
Huh, randomly fixed. I’d been right through time after time making sure everything was enabled, following guides to turn off power saving on location services, using GPS Status, No luck. Then Google maps randomly asked if I’d like to turn on something like device.location.something and now I’m back to getting a fix from up to 10 satellites.
my apps/games load faster?
Updated, messages are still there
Odd, no such issue here on 8.0
It was about time smfh!!!
Well, any recommendations?
The day has come
Been saying that since the beginning… No one.could answer me why they wanted 8.1 so badly.
Checking……..yup I get the system update now…downloading 1.2GB
Try again with Wi-Fi connected.
Didn’t work for me. (the Netherlands)
I’m in the process of moving. Stuck the phone under my leg while driving and forgot about it when getting out of the van. It fell from about 1.5m, unprotected. Screen shattered bottom right, cracks all over the lower half of the phone. Still usable, but I’m gonna replace it once a good deal on Note 5 rolls around.
I think the tint is based on your wallpaper, it is a feature
Yeah it’s not cheap compared to the cost of the phone (since it’s now dirt cheap) but you can probably get it down to 30 with shipping on Ali if your county doesn’t rape all packages from China with VAT and fees.
Wow, 1157mb, must be 8.1. I’ll edit when I finish updating.
EDIT: 8.1 indeed.
Yes, sms.
Just got it now
very happy
It is because some devices have round corners
Hey, pnloyd, just a quick heads-up:
**noticable** is actually spelled **noticeable**. You can remember it by **remember the middle e**.
Have a nice day!

I was aware of this bug: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-a1-android-8-1-oreo-june-security-patches/ still didn’t take a backup. 🙁
Pretty high fall even for it’s pretty resistant screen. Thanks for the info btw, sorry you broke your phone though.
Same, none root using the automatic tool.
Is it out in India? I didn’t get any notification for the update
My phone is rooted, what happens if I install the update?
i also had the feeling
It bootlooped until I relocked the bootloader
Just updated and it’s okay so far. I don’t know about the SMS issue since I deleted all of them a few days ago.
The Bluetooth bug has been fixed for me. The phone no longer needs a restart when Bluetooth’s switched on.
Edit: System files seem to take 11GB of space now, as opposed to 13GB before this update.
And if it’s the 6X as we think it’ll have the largest camera bump ever. Seriously it’s huge.
$50 though… Think I’d rather replace the phone entirely and use it as a media/chromecast remote at home.
Did they fix the sound?
Haven’t tried enabling it again thus far because I’m not certain if the non-root tool will work on 8.1
Mine are still there as well but I am using Signal as my SMS app. Maybe it has somthing to do with that? Are you using the standard app or as well a third party one?
My gcam still works fine
I think this means I have camera2 enabled
One day after I broke the screen on this damn thing. Looking at Note 5 now…
Doing a factory reset disables Camera2 API mate 🙂
I had a Nexus 5X, which made me inmune to 2 things:
* Touching lava
* Camera bumps
I used the rootless tool yet camera2 still works for me.
You could easily replace the screen. There are tons of tutorials on youtube and the screen itself is inexpensive.
Hahaha, love it <3
Nah you get screen + frame and just swap the components over. Good as new. Back panel just pries off, no glue on the A1. My replacement have identical panel and digitizer as the original. Just buy from a reputable seller.
??
You talk as if Xiaomi was the company who created Android 8.1, but Android 8.1 has been available for months on other devices. You could have checked what new features it has beforehand. Xiaomi wasn’t gonna bring a “better 8.1” or a “worse 8.1” they were just gonna bring 8.1 and so they did
do i need to perform factory reset after this update ?
My sms are static. No loss! I don’t use any launcher!
Also confirmed here
Yep, got this now!
Guys. Installing this updates ends up in formatting all the data? I mean the update itself makes a factory reset?
What about Camera2 API and GCam? It’s gonna be disabled?
Im still downloading… May i ask how is the battery life now? The last may update fix my battery drain bug, my battery sot now is great again… Im afraid to update and getting back the bad battery life like before
Is there a PH user that can confirm that the update has arrived? Deciding between this and the Redmi S2, and if the update is here, I might sway towards the A1.
actually it wasn’t
Got it just now on my A1. I am downloading now.
Well I think it is like that in Google Pixel (gen1) and it doesn’t have round corners, maybe Google wants it that way
dark wallpaper
Can confirm, all sms’s are gone.
Finally
Now I wonder how many ~~years~~ months it will take to get Android P when it releases
(That’s even if we get it)
I think there is some issue with lockscren oveay color and the colour of the overlay when expanding notifications. Sometime or in certain light conditions they get a blue tint.
I guess I was lucky… nothing missing
Using textra as my TXT app if that makes a difference
Edit: lost all my sms messages also.
I downloaded another sms app and it’s empty. I guess textra cached the messages.
Woow didnt knew that!
Thanks
Finally 🙂
No update yet for me in Belgium. Is there a way to force it?
Not really… There’s nothing here that warrants everyone complaining for a few months.
Don’t know how this happened. Mine’s stock af, no root.
Well, I’m thinking I just need one as a daily driver then upgrade to another Xiaomi Android One device next year.
Does any body else have problems with the notifications? The text is very tiny on some parts…
Edit: I think i fixed it, had to uninstall a custom dark theme i was using
Thanks mate.
Did they fix anything like the in-call proximity sensor not completely disabling the touchscreen?
In this case not really, I hope to at least, but we will wait until then and see.
Yup
Lost all messages. So take a backup.
also the new launcher looks shit.
Would seem to work at first, putting me in the right position when I first opened maps or whatever. Then as soon as I first lost a GPS signal that would be it, I’d just stay in one place. Turn off location, turn it back on, I’d be in the right place but then after a minute or so of tracking me I’d just stop dead.
Took them long enough…
Thank god that was driving me mad. Just downloading it now hope I get the same result.
and CLEARLY this happens just after my A1 breaks and is being RMA’d, and is also out of stock for when I get a refund
Did that on a Note 4. Never again… Replacements are shit quality and you pretty much can’t pull it of without replacing the back panel too. So fuck that.
SMS app has been updated, so you lose your SMS. No big deal for most people though. Back them up if you need them prior to update. I was using Nova launcher so I already had black buttons in night mode. So far I haven’t found anything new 🙁
Time to charge to 100%, power off, restart and test battery performance. Used to get 9 hrs sot with looping video. Nice if it’ll hit the magic 10 hours sot.
Remember that the A2 release is inminent, which features a Snapdragon 660 instead of the 2015 Snapdragon 625. It will also (probably) have no headphone jack, which **sucks**. But if that somehow doesn’t bother you much, you may want to wait for the A2.
It’s your own risk. I’m doing it in every update and didn’t have any problems so far.
Damn, that’s odd.
You need a dark wallpaper. With a light one, you’ll get the white panel :).
Ohgodohgodohgod…
Edit: Yes! Finally a black notification panel <3
you edit is the reason why. did you try enabling it back afterwards? i want to reset my phone now that im 8.1
Im having an error of ui has stopped and i cant use the phone because is rebooting
I’m having a field day now, multicolored notification panel. Fuck that sms issue I don’t care. lmao 🐮
Google messenger. That’s stock right? At least that’s what my phone came with.
Xiaomi promised that we will get it ASAP hahaha
Got the update,messages are gone and there’s a time on the lockscreen also status bar icons seem to be more roundish and notification panel has a transparent tint
It’s 8.1 Design
Already have it turned on.
I didn’t get the update yet 🙁
Is there any way to trigger it?
I’ll agree with you on this. It’s still a great update though! Especially the battery part.. it’s really noticable.
Do you have any mobile network bugs? I cannot connect to the mobile network after the update. It is not showing 4G or 3G, connection is not working.
Edit: I just fixed it, it deleted my APN.
I heard that you shouldn’t clear carrier services because it messes up a lot of things on your device
http://www.talkandroid.com/185088-google-engineer-explains-why-you-shouldnt-clear-google-services-framework-data/
“ASAP” in xiaomi terms 😀
How to enable it
I would like some details on how you broke the screen if you didn’t mind and how badly it got since it looks pretty durable on youtube.
Also it seems that my battery is stuck it was at 34% after the system rebooted for the update to install and it’s just stuck there.
But they should disable those on devices without round corners. They can absolutely do that.
literaly nothing in this update.
small bugfixes and thats all 🙂
i bet that they just changed number version and dimmed a bit overall theme.
on serious note, this update is so small, that could be added in standard monthly patch.
can’t say 8.1 was worth waiting for.
The volume before the May update was IMO wayyyyyyyyy too loud, like even on minimum volume I couldn’t stand it. I’m happy they moderated it a bit, but I see people complaining a lot
Well… this was unexpected
Hey, racingmachine, just a quick heads-up:
**wierd** is actually spelled **weird**. You can remember it by **e before i**.
Have a nice day!
^^^^The ^^^^parent ^^^^commenter ^^^^can ^^^^reply ^^^^with ^^^^’delete’ ^^^^to ^^^^delete ^^^^this ^^^^comment.
Damn, Camera2 API disabled after update.
Edit: Could be because I did a factory reset before updating.
Yes
this tint thing works good with fotos, with abstract pics not so mich IMHO
I didn’t lose mine. I use the Google SMS app (Messages)
Is yours Magisk-enabled? Because mine was through the sans-rooting tool on XDA
No, it keeps working.
The battery life become worst than last may update… Man… Should i factory reset?
Can you take a screenshot of the new launcher?
Hooray!
