I hope they will take time and finally polish out the bugs that are in there!

i think i'm seeing a pattern with security updates, they usually release on the second working week of each month. (i assume they beta test the first week)
so for feb it should be this week as first week of feb was holiday. we'll see i guess, i agree, nice to have good stable updates rather then buggy rushed ones. sure, it's nice to have security patches on time but android one devices are miles ahead of the pack anyway so couple weeks after pixels sounds good.
edit: ok, there's definetly a pattern, second working friday each month - will confirm over the next months...

For the A2 lite, see attachments
For the A1, I don't have screenshot, but a few members of a Facebook group (created for a1, a2, a2 lite owners) posted they received it.

that looks promising, 240mb maybe they fixed some bugs in addition to the security patch

Same here. Just installed it and no problems.
Someone has a changelog?

Hi, I have just updated my Xiaomi A2 with the Februari update. After installing, the phone is in normal operation mode. Then it said that I had to restart the phone.
After restarting, the phone keeps hanging in the white Android One start screen. Even the screen keeps on for minutes. I can't do anything. Also no hard reset or something else.
Do you do have any ideas?

Installed the update. Yay! Lag with on-screen keyboard is gone!

installed on MI A2, no problems after restart

ask for changelog for mia2 ? from xiaomi ? LOL
maybe......the next year
anyway...no problem after update/restart V10.0.4.0

Just received February update, 302mb.

Somebody can share stock boot.img for last OTA?

For some reason my display is now oversaturated, to the point where my eyes hurt lol. Can they launch an update and not break something for once? Jesus.

no official announcement that i know of promised a stable N before years end,
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/closed-nougat-stable-update-for-oneplus-3.480526/
in a recent reply to someone on the OB9 though it was mentioned that another release (most probably beta) will be released before new years, so, that's why i said next is OB10 and it's most probably gonna be for OP3 and OP3T , before unifying the update cycles for both by the stable release, probably early January 2017

if all the issues were ironed out, all of us would like to see an N stable, but this is a development program, push backs are common, and they announce such things on the OP Community Forums, so far i haven't read that there.
they might release a stable before new years, the current beta 9 is solid, i use it as daily driver, all i'm saying that official on their website there's nothing yet to suggest so, specially that OP is known to tease such things ahead of it's release...as i said we all want to see it, my comments is regarding their official status.
I am not so sure that the official Nougat will be available by the year end. But it is possible to get another CB of N with some bug fixes. I tried OB9 and its rock solid.( Only thing is I don't like the accent colours that much ) Oneplus might play it safe by releasing official ota after all bug fixing is done.

Well, here we are and no sign of it yet!
I remember going through this a few years back with a Motorola phone, I used to keep hearing that these updates were "imminent," or likely to "roll out," in various places, at various dates.
If my memory serves me well, it never happened and I got bored with checking..
I'll be chuffed if it does happen before the end of today, but I've already checked and zip! :laugh:

The first beta was promised by end of November and we got it Nov 30 at 19.00 (European time). So we still have an entire day ?

Very bad performance

Hi, I've acquired my Mi A2 on late December and since then I'm very unsatisfied with that phone's performance.
I'm using the same apps that used to use on my old LG G2 and sometimes the Mi A2 gets slower than the LG G2, clearly throttling and not smooth as I'd expect from that hardware. The phone is already updated to Android Pie and doesn't heat above 60Cº.
Anyway I can fix it?

Android Q for Mi A2

Tomorrow (September 3, 2019) Pixel devices should get update to new android Q. Does anyone know release date for Mi A2? Phones that are in android one program should get update pretty fast asi well right?
Probably in Dec 2019 -Jan 2020 (or after). How much time later did we get 9.0 after it was released?

Really? That late? I though like moth or so
We got Pie on mid December last year
It might be a little later than that. We should be looking at the date the Mi A1 got Pie, since the A3 is already out and should have priority over the Mi A2.

One big difference though... Mi A1 does not have trebble, Mi A2 does. So at least in theory, it was easier to do Pie for A2 than it was for A1, which can account for part of the difference of delay.
If that would be the case, we could hope to get it close to A3, but let's not get our hope too high, it's Xiaomi.....

But the hardware specifications and chipsets are mostly same. Just a minor difference like camera battery. The chipsets and processor which is running system os and apps are mostly same. So I am expecting it will come fast.
Let's hope Q/10 is better; Xiaomi couldn't make One good Pie..
What about beta testers?
I hope you're all right and Xiaomi releases 10 sooner than last year. Though I have my doubts.
Just hope it fixes Android Auto for which just won't connect.

Chipset is different (SD 660 vs SD 665). Even if close numbers, different chipset means different drivers, and drivers are needed for any components anyway, not just the core chipset. So I don't agree with your comment
However, as I mentioned in another post, Treble is supposed to decouple drivers and OS, and since A2 has Treble, we can hope for quicker deployment of new Android versions vs Mi A1 that did not have Treble.

Any news on K20 Pro China updates? Been 3 months, still on Nov security patch

Can't really blame the lack of updates on Luna New Year, Corona or 10 series release because Mi 9T Pro has received 2 updates since December, what's going on? Not even a scrap of news or rumor of a update anytime soon.

You'd think China rom would get updates more frequently given Xiaomi is a Chinese company but no, eea, global even Indian version Raphaelin k20 pro is getting updates but not us. It's disappointing, China rom imo is the best after debloating and if you ignore that space after apostrophe when using English and lack of security updates.

I've had this phone since August and have gotten past some of the quirks of the Chinese rom. Yup just doesn't make sense at all really, try to talk to xiaomi support is like talking to a brickwall aswell

Hey mate just wanna let you know if u don't know already that about 2 days ago they released 11.0.7 China stable, no news, nothing in all the telegram channels I'm in, nothing in updater app only found out by browsing through eu.miui sourceforge. Don't know the changelog but downloading now, finally we get a update.
E: What's New
Optimization: system stability

The phone is end of life. This is new Xiaomi politics... After 9 years with Xiaomi phones this is last for me.

No it's not EOL, Xiaomi are still releasing regular beta Chinese ROMs for this phone. Unfortunately this is the same with almost all manufacturers, once the initial round of serious bugs have been fixed, stable branch updates come at a glacial pace. Even though Google have recently tried to tie in manufacturers to guaranteed updates for x years, in order to get Google certification, we still do not see this happening from most manufacturers beyond the first 6 -12 months. This is why I first started, with the original Samsung Galaxy S, and continue to use, custom ROMs.

Android 13 is here

I went to the sammobile page every day like clockwork for all of November. Was doing the same for December and finally saw it.
It didn't pop up until TODAY, December 7th, 2022, despite being labeled November 29th, 2022.
But its here. Interest in this device seemed to evaporate with Android 11, so I have no idea if Android 12 or 13 can be rooted at all. Unless a clear answer to that, and if the old rooting technique will work, and if magisk can still be used or if some sort of alternative is necessary, guess I'll stick to 10.
But for the handful that still have the phone and don't root, Android 13 is finally here.
On this phone I would stay on 9 or 10. Android 13 is so far worse than 12 and many have rolled back to 11 from 12. CPU cycle sucking scoped storage is active from 11 up with more security garbage piled into 12, think 13 will be any better?
Or more of the same crap?
I'm not buying the Google hype, both Google and Samsung are on a 3 year losing streak of bad choices and products. Obviously you can upgrade at any time; let Mikey try it first
Can someone provide changelog please ?

I actually stayed on 10 with this phone, since I was unsure if I upgraded if the same root method would still work.
But I've been following the updates out of morbid curiosity + the longshot hope someone would be brave enough to try with a more current (11 and up) iteration of Android. Alas.

I have two N10+'s one running on 9, the newer on 10. Very unlikely either will ever be upgraded.
The Pie one seems to run best and is easier to work with. Current load is 3 yo now, still fast and stable; no way I'm messing with that.
Personally I wouldn't upgrade past 10 as you will lose more than you gain. Both 9 and 10 are secure unless you do stupid things.
Less downtime means more playtime...
