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?

Are talking serious or joking? I saw some people that just bricked their phones just after they installed that updated. just like happened with the January update.

February update does not brick phones like the January update did. It's fixed.

Hey, my phone got updated this morning! Was it Oreo? No...no, it was a security patch. Are we getting Oreo before the G7 comes out or is it not looking too good for the G6?
Not really sure why everyone is so impatient about getting Oreo. 7.0 works fine and we are getting security updates. What doesn't work that requires Oreo? I'm happy to wait.
given the issues that tmo seems to be having with the oreo update, im very much ok with waiting for it. 7.0 works quite well and we are getting the security updates.
Interesting because I'm not getting the updates and am actually still on December's patch

This update is rolling out in waves. The last update was the December security patch so nothing unusual here. It will come to you eventually.
Android Authority reports the US Verizon G6 got Oreo today. T-Mobile is usually the last among US carriers to get major OS updates, so I suspect we'll get it in July.

I'm new with the LG G6 and T-Mobile but you really think it will take that long!?

I believe it is because T-Mobile does so much mucking around with the MFG's FW. I think they monitor the apps you install, block tethering apps (at an OS level), and do other things that are not good and add bloat.
I am rooted and waiting for Lineage or another to become more stable and I am ditching T-Mobile's FW releases.

have you tried oreo 8.1? it does run alot smoother then 7.0 , better notifications. and picture-n-picture is pretty sweet
Got the update today. Seems pretty nice so far. Cleaner. Nice little touches here and there. Even freed up some much needed space. Only thing I'm noticing is a good bit of lag in chrome especially when typing.

You getting the update through lg bridge? And does anybody know of an unlocked bootloader would effect the update process?

It was OTA. Popped up late the night before I made that post. As long as you're not rooted or modified any system files, I don't think an unlocked bootloader will affect an update.
And a lot of the lag cleared up. Just some FC issues with some games at first start. Still don't have great wifi or cell reception with this phone.
What release date any update?

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...

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.

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.
Yesterday I noticed the lastest update phone list that will get MIUI 11 in a few days but matter of sorrow that MI 9 is not in that list!!
Why is that?
That's because your picture is the global rollout for India.

We're in batch 2. (early november)
If cause for this is more polishing and bugs removal them it's not a biggie, at least to me!
Strange how this year's flagship gets pushed to the second batch along with phones 2 years old while last years flagship and current mid-range phones go to the front.
They're struggling with the 855 devices it seems, they don't even say it will come early november so they're definitely not even sure of that.

Just assuming they're facing some issues with sd 855 devices seeing that they're being updated later than their cheaper counterparts.
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.

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.
