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.

Did they fix anything like the in-call proximity sensor not completely disabling the touchscreen?

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

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.

My sms are static. No loss! I don’t use any launcher!

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.

It’s your own risk. I’m doing it in every update and didn’t have any problems so far.

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

And if it’s the 6X as we think it’ll have the largest camera bump ever. Seriously it’s huge.

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.

Updated and tested. The bug has been fixed.

??

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

Already have it turned on.

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.

In this case not really, I hope to at least, but we will wait until then and see.

Try again with Wi-Fi connected.

Google messenger. That’s stock right? At least that’s what my phone came with.

You need a dark wallpaper. With a light one, you’ll get the white panel :).

I used the rootless tool yet camera2 still works for me.

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.

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.

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.

you edit is the reason why. did you try enabling it back afterwards? i want to reset my phone now that im 8.1

Did they fix the sound?

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.

dark wallpaper

this tint thing works good with fotos, with abstract pics not so mich IMHO

Is yours Magisk-enabled? Because mine was through the sans-rooting tool on XDA

Odd, no such issue here on 8.0

Well, any recommendations?

My gcam still works fine

I think this means I have camera2 enabled

View post on imgur.com

actually it wasn’t

Also confirmed here

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

You could easily replace the screen. There are tons of tutorials on youtube and the screen itself is inexpensive.

What about Camera2 API and GCam? It’s gonna be disabled?

Been saying that since the beginning… No one.could answer me why they wanted 8.1 so badly.

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.

It is because some devices have round corners

I didn’t lose mine. I use the Google SMS app (Messages)

Is it out in India? I didn’t get any notification for the update

What issue did you have with it?

I’m having a field day now, multicolored notification panel. Fuck that sms issue I don’t care. lmao 🐮

Wow, 1157mb, must be 8.1. I’ll edit when I finish updating.

EDIT: 8.1 indeed.

Finally 🙂

Just updated! This is the best smartphone yet! 🐂

Took them long enough…

How to enable it

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.

Can you take a screenshot of the new launcher?

very happy

* 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?

Can confirm, all sms’s are gone.

I think the tint is based on your wallpaper, it is a feature

I didn’t get the update yet 🙁

Is there any way to trigger it?

Doing a factory reset disables Camera2 API mate 🙂
