Pretty impressive. It's been years since I've had a phone that got security updates this soon, awesome.

Didn't work for me. I am trying now with unpatched boot image
For those asking about updates with rooted / unlocked devices;
I'm pretty sure that you can download the update ota. But if 'system' on your phone has been modified, it won't install. Let us know. Do you have systemless root? From what I read the update should install then.

Idk if im paying 250 euro for a phone I demand a good working phone able to do basic needs . Taking ages to write a file and dying after 2.5 hours SoT imo is not acceptable. this is just poor quality control. The average user is not able to mess around with kernel auditor , proximity calibration and what not

Sorry to disagree, but this bug of max frequencies, affecting some and not others, is one of the most importance bug to solve or saing something about, because users are confused without knowing if their new phone has a hardware issue or not, to be return.
They had their chance to solve this in this patch if really was a software issue, now im not sure of that.
By the end of today, Xiaomi will lose a lot of A2 users.

Hi guys,
I just fastboot flashed my MI A2 to the latest September update because somehow I wasn't receiving OTAs since I purchased the phone.
However, after updating it, I noticed considerably more grainy videos and its also visible in daylight. I am not sure if it's just my imagination or anyone else facing the same issues? The photos are OK though.
Is this kinda issue possible after an update? Thanks in advance.

How can you pull it back?
I just checked video (with the update), pretty sure there are 2 differences, but 'grainy' isn't necessarily one of them.
Did video resolutions change? I don't remember 4k30fps being there or even 1080p60fps? The other thing I *think* is different is the PDAF was working before and now AF doesn't happen (that's for sure). You can touch a focus point and that works, during the video, but pretty sure it was doing that itself before.
Once it's focused, for me anyway, it's very clear.

Hmmm, so just tested again, AF is working! How bizarre. Guess it goes to show one should always close app, maybe even reboot, and test again, just to be sure.
So I have finally compared the video of my phone to my mom's which is not updated. Apparently it was just my imagination. Been too used to the vastly superior video quality of the OP6. LOL.
Sorry guys for the false alarm.

After getting this OTA my battery life is horrid and seems to lose 1 percent every hour just sleeping. I also don't seem to have any new wakelocks. I tried clearing cache from recovery, clearing cache for google services, checking settings ect. Anyone else experiencing this?

Doesn't seem to include 9.0.5's feature set, so it may be based on it stability and system improvements wise, but doesn't add some if not most of the perks of the actual OOS build, no wonder it took so long to be released...

Yeah that's definitely a plus, it was one of the reasons I converted, worked so much better on 9.0.5, good for everyone who's still on stock, device works better now and they said nightmode got an update too, so pics should be nicer in the dark.
So they added the stability updates, but ripped out everything else it seems. Not cool. Wonder how long it'll actually take us to get the 9.05 build.

Orrrrr maybe they fixed that possible bug where people would request permanent unlocks immediately at purchase and got approved despite being on eip and under 40 days, some even tried within the first 24hrs and got approved automatically for some odd reason, lol.

Got this off reddit. Seems to add the new gestures from 9.0.5(?) as well as other improvements. Can someone who got this update on the TMO firmware check to see if the gestures are actually the ones in the latest update. Then we can confirm that the TMO variant just has a different naming convention.
Also, the build of that is 181029 while the 9.0.5 intl. is 181103

My LG G8 ThinQ LM-G820TM just received the October update.
That's two updates within a three month span!
My fears of being stuck with a phone with great hardware but outdated software are subsiding.
I'm not updating since I believe the October update blocks an potential exploit that could be used for rooting.

Been using it the last 4 hours, it is really great so far. In about 2 hours I'll use games and see again how it will be. But generally speaking, way better than MIUI13 13.6 global.

How did you update manually?
I am new with this equipment and it has been 2 years since I flashed cell phones. Mine is also Chinese with global ROM
What is the correct way to install it? Wait OTA or how?
OTA , local update file.
To do this go to the update window, and keep pressing on miui logo for about 5 to 10 times. You'll get a message saying additional features added. Then press the 3 dots and choose (choose update package). Should start updating immediately after you go to the ota file downloaded to your device.
If you get any errors for any reason, relocate the file to the following directory ( download - downloaded_rom) and put your file there.

at first, i thought the same, but after a day of using it, way better and faster than before.
Some stuff have been fixed.
For instance when you changed the DPI in MIUI 13, a reboot would reset it (which frankly is a pain...)
Now on MIUI 14 it sticks after reboot
Dark mode seems a bit better implemented as well.
I agree that everything feels slightly snappier (But it was already too notch anyway)
Was considering upgrading to the 13 Ultra or Honor Magic 5 Pro but I am less eager now...

The latest snapdragons are faster, but unless you're gaming it's doubtful you'll feel it in everyday usage.
Battery life likely a bit better and that you would see it.
What I care the most about is the camera. I have a feeling that it's been significantly improved since the phone was released (No idea id MIUI 14 improves it further, too early to tell). Unfortunately DXO doesn't retest later during the phone life so it's hard to tell if the newest phone are actually over performing significantly in that department (Sensors haven't improved much and the software seem to be what makes most of the difference)
