How offten upgade? - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
How offten is some fix/uprade for this phone?

It depends on who you ask.
Since its andriod one device official response is superfast updates and fixes.
Reality not so fast as of right now. Oreo was released and then pulled. So new users can't update to oreo from nougat through update (settings).
Hope that changes in coming months

The official wording is "monthly security updates", so it should be pretty regular. They just tripped over their own feet rolling out Android Oreo for the Mi A1, apparently they were not quite ready yet but released anyways because they had promised to do so. Presumably that will get better over time
You will definitely have one of the most up-to-date Android phones. My OnePlus X was still running Marshmallow with no official update in sight, so Nougat is already a pretty good update. I expect that it will take them another month to properly roll out Oreo. Android P is also promised, so you will very likely get the next major update as well next year.

6.0 and emui 4 please

Well I just got my honor 5 and wanted to upgrade the software, emui says it's 3.1 and when I put the check for updates it says there are no available. Nether when I check my lollipop 5.1.1 to got to Marshmallow. No upgrade available.
My cellphone was one of the Prime Day 120 bucks, KIW-L24c56.
Is there something I should do? I know very few of cellphones, but at least my moto g2 asked me itself to upgrade to Marshmallow which I did, apparently this has Marshmallow upgrade also but nowhere to be found.
Than you.
Wait for it its not fully out yet.. it takes some time.

Check out this thread. It gives detailed instructions to download the official update and install it.
im checking the hihonor website and there is no 6.0 upgrade
Is it just me or no one else can see it ?
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/
Well... so far no luck upgrading.
I'm new in this subforum (just got my KIW-L24 last night) and have no idea what the "-c56" on your model number is so hopefully I'm not wasting your time, but
I was able to update mine to marshmallow using this update package that was provided in this thread.
Just make a "dload" folder on your internal storage and extract the update file from the zip to it. Then in system update on the phone, hit menu and local update... should walk you through from there.
Hope this helps!
well apparently Huawei pulled out the update because there were some issues with the phones, they are gonna work on it and put the update on L24 with Marshmallow 6 and Emui 4 back when everything is resolved.

Did you hear this from Huawei? I'm thinking the same thing and posted this in another thread, but was wandering if it was officially a problem.
See below:
They have removed marshmallow from the site. It's not official, but I believe they are doing some work to it. It was extremely laggy and had poor battery life and performance compared to lollipop. I reverted back after running it.
You guys would be better off waiting to see what repairs are done to it.
When you click on the support site, look to the right under manuals
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/
You will see how to rollback officially from Marshmallow, if there were no problems, I'm pretty sure that would NOT be listed the same day marshmallow was removed from the site

Yea, I wrote to them and they replied me that there were some issues regarding the update. One day there was the update and the other it wasnt, so I asked them and they said their engineers are looking into it and as soon as possible its gonna be back posted on the website.
amazing how these buggy updates make it through testing to get released, beyond belief & biggest drawback with current phones is crappy firmware & apps , programming, testing & design rules needs massive improvement ...
Android itself is big part of problem ...
Funny how CM has a better software compared yo such big brand Honor/Huawei
Just now at the Honor US support site.
There is this
KIW-L24, Android 6.0.1,EMUI 4.0,C567D003,United States
for download.
Hope it is the patched version.
yea I just entered the website and saw it too.
Im gonna wait a while to see if things are patched, apparently the patch is the same as the one before so Ill wait a bit until people test it out.

nothing changed in the about phone screen, I assume it's just bug fix for the memory leaks and bad battery

I am sure that this is what I put on my daughters phone yesterday, but it still shows as B331 in the about phone screen. Can anyone else confirm this?
well I got 6.0.1 and new Emui in my cellphone OTA. Just this morning I got an update and after downloading and installing it was the new version.
Phone seems a bit laggy and not as fast as 5.0, is this normal for 6.0? Or just me?

6.0.1 update

I got my new x style but the weired thing is after installing 2 or 3 updates , it's still on android 6.0 but it has may 2016 security patch,
Isn't it supposed to be on 6.0.1 as may 2016 patch was released after 6.0.1??? Anyway to get 6.0.1 without rooting...???
Here's a screenshot
Plug your phone in.
No, 6.0.1 will likely never come to the handset as an official release. There is speculation they aren't wasting their time on 6.0.1 and working on a 7 release for your phone, but that is rumor and hearsay.

Will the T280 get Marshmallow

Hi I own a T280.
It is running Lollipop 5.1.1.
I read on the internet that it will get Marshmallow and they in fact have started rolling out.
Who of you works for Samsung and can confirm this?
Or are the websites that are telling this full of [email protected]#$?
Thanks!

Best way to check for me is to look at https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-T280. If the device indeed has marshmallow rolling out, you should be seeing 6.0.1 based firmwares. Unfortunately there are none. If you were to ask me, this device should have been shipping marshmallow from the get go given the time of its release.
From what I read it was suppose to happen in December. The Nook 7 is the same tablet and they already released the owner manual for Marshmallow. So I hope that means it's coming soon or something to that effect... I only want Marshmallow for 1 lonely little feature "Adoptable storage" which I understand on Samsung devices I'll have to get a patch for it to work, but still should be better then App2SD which is great but not perfect.

I wonder what you are doing on this forum still being on 4.0. 4.1 is stable AND official for a long time now. I assume you're talking about EMUI because latest official Android is 5.0
This is all about hobby and most people here know that and take (calculated) risks just for fun. I am on Nougat and I am happy with it but I can fully understand when you stick to what you have.
It is indeed silly that naïve people get advice to reset and on 1 of april you should be aware of that but this one was bad taste.

Android 7 Nougat Update Schedule & Release Date: When's Your Phone Getting It?
Huawei Android Nougat Update
Huawei has come in leaps and bounds during the past 18 months. It was also one of the first handset makers to get an Android Marshmallow phone out — the AWESOME Huawei Mate 8 shipped with Android 6 during November, just one month after Google released the software.This puts Huawei in very good stead, as it is confirmed to be updating its Mate line at exactly the same time this year — November. If this happens, an entirely plausible potential, then Huawei would have one of the first, save for Google’s Nexus phones, Android N phone on market.Expect the Huawei P9 and Mate 8 to get the same treatment during December at the earliest.On November 16, leaked details have provided some information of when the Huawei Mate 8 will be updated to Android Nougat. The firm has already launched the Mate 9 with Nougat pre-installed, so in many respects it's a matter of Huawei tweaking things to be backwards compatible with the older model. The update has not been rolled out officially for the Mate 8, but it has been discovered uploaded onto Huawei's servers. XDA Developer forum users have downloaded the files and installed them on their Mate 8 units. As well as all the Nougat features and updates, the new version brings a fresh build of Huawei's Emotion UI straight from the Mate 9 (version 5.0). This includes a new app drawer option and better multi-window functionality for multitasking several apps at once on the handset's big screen.On December 1, Huawei has now revealed the extent of its plans for Android Nougat updates. As previously leaked, the company has now confirme that Android Nougat will arrive bundled with version 5.0 of the EMUI software. A specific date has not been confirmed, but Huawei has said Q1 2017 will see a rollout begin for its range of Android devices. Handsets which will be updated include the Huawei Mate 8 and Huawei P9 in the first wave, subsequently followed by the Huawei P9 Plus, Huawei P9 Lite, Huawei Nova, and Huawei Nova Plus.As well as the onboard Nougat improvements, Huawei is bigging up how much more intuitive and secure EMUI 5.0 is, saying that it "significantly cuts down on the number of steps needed to achieve the desired function.""Furthermore, the user can reach 90% of the core functions in just two to three clicks," it added.One beef we've always had with EMUI is being remedied - the platform never had a traditional app drawer, but with the new update you will optionally be able to switch this otherwise standard Android feature back on. Huzzah.According to details leaked on December 6, the Huawei P9 and Huawei Mate 8 may be updated to Android Nougat as soon as December 7. The info is coming out of Huawei's home nation of China where it is claimed internal documents have been seen. It's alleged that a build number B352 for the Huawei P9 and B552 for the Huawei Mate 8 are expected. However, crucially the documents are talking about the release in the Chinese market, so we don't know if we will see a wider rollout at that time of if other global regions will have to wait - possibly the global rollout may occur in Huawei's previously announced target of Q1 2017.

You see what I am talking about ? people write false miss information all the time
THERE IS NO OFFICIAL 4.1 VERSION! IT HAS BEEN BETA ALL THE TIME!!! What does it matter if it is official or not yes it a official beta!
4.0 is the last official final version, and nougat is a OFFICIAL beta.
Regarding 5.0 we only seen a few people reoproting here they have got OTA updates WHILE not being in the BETA program or have installed any beta version.
If you get 5.0 OTA whrn you are on b192 then you know for sure it is official, but again, huawei have done this before pushing out beta software to a few countries, they did that in poland with mate 7, like 5 months before the final was released, so you have to keep this in mind too, for us non chinese people it is hard to gather the correct information, since we do not use or can even read chinese websites and social media.
We have seen a lot of people getting 5.0 ota when they are on Beta version, you will get beta version with OTA if you are using a beta version currently, or if you have sign up with the hicare app, you get early adopters versions. The confusion is when people say they get OTA but they get it while using beta software and then say it is final version.. then people keep spreading false or non-confirmed information that this is the final version.
I have still seen no offocial from huawei on any of their websites that the 5.0 final has been released.
A beta tester said only 1 week ago the final version is not out yet, cause huaewi did just send out a new beta version to their beta testers, it takes atleast 3-4 weeks after they push put a beta version to finalize and going thru all bug reports.
People are desperate and they are simply to eager to install and go over to nougat that that they do not care or get blind for the actual information, it becomes a snow ball effect, people just keep writing over and over it is official and final etc etc until people believe it is true.
If you ask me, current status with mate 8 android 7.0 is that it is in the last phase beta. According to leaked roadmap Android 7.0 should had been released in January.
People are free to use beta version if they want, I have had good patience and waiting even if my fingers are itching currently because of my frustration I Want to move over to 7.0 the minute the official version is released, not later.
What we need is more chinese people in this forum who are watching all the chinese websites.. it is their everything is happen, it is the FIRST source for huawei phones not xda where huawei is kind of small compared to a lot of other brands.
I got an official. Just flashed it from the xda forum.
If you want to have a nougat - you need to flash it by yourself. If not, wait for OTA and dont ask questions.
simple as that ;]

Because you stated 4.0 I assumed you were talking about EMUI version as I mentioned. There is sometimes a lot of confusion interpreted as false information.
My Mate 8 was delivered with Android 5.0 and using eRecovery it installs 5.0 so I assume it is an official release.
Regarding Chinese sites, I don't understand Chinese but with current possibilities to translate whole pages it is feasible to visit Chinese sites and read latest information. I found my latest version B577 there.

Got mine in early November, had 6 when I got it.

Google is sending the Android 7.0 OTA update to Nexus 6 phones running 7.1.1

If you're on 7.1.1 and get an update notification, be careful!
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...-7-0-ota-update-nexus-6-phones-running-7-1-1/
Also under discussion on reddit. May be isolated to T-Mobile, but not sure. I'm running 7.1.1 with the March update on Project Fi, and haven't seen anything yet.
Just came across this online. That would suck if someone got an OTA and accepted it. Ouch.......Good thing there's custom ROMs. ?. But yeah....Beware everyone.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Why would anyone accept an update to 7.0 when that person clearly sideloaded and knows that they are running 7.1.1? Clearly that person was curious and bit them in the ass on first boot after the "upgrade".
What is Google doing.. Unbelievable
This was posted on reddit from a "Nexus Comminuty Manager". Seriously- WTF?
Hey All,
There was a recent OTA update for Android 7.0 that is causing confusion for some Nexus 6 users. For those of you that want to guarantee future OTA updates, you will need to get back on the 7.0 supported track. If you are experiencing issues after accepting the 7.0 update, please factory reset your device to help resolve any problems.
For any Nexus 6 users that want to continue flashing/sideloading future builds, you can stay on 7.1.1 and continue to do so.
Hope this clarifies! Nexus Community Manager

I'm just glad I flash the factory images when they're available and don't wait for OTAs, but this is beyond my comprehension.

That actually does make sense though.
Google's response on that thread is stellar. I really can't believe how poorly they've handled N on our device. Making me second guess a Pixel 2 right now.
has there been any confirmation / clarification that after accepting the 7.0 "update", the latest 7.1.1 OTA will be immediately available for updating?
dont want to be stuck on 7.0 till april
This is funny, got my 6p yesterday
Better not move to pixel, if Google behave like that.
Custom Community vs. Burning money
2 years support on a phone plus or minus a few months for security updates is not enough for the price they are commanding.
Big disappointment... expensive phone trashed like a low end one...
Now the question is: will security patches come in both 7.1.1 and 7.0 forms?
They will for a while. In the U.S. at least, the Nexus 6 has been getting patched for 6.1, 7.0, and 7.1.1 for the last several months, depending on what carrier's SIM card was in the phone. It sounds like the patches to 6.1 may now be done with T-mobile and Fi now on 7.0. With any luck, next month will bring them all to 7.1.1, but I am not holding my breath with the way the update round has been rolling.
I am currently on 7.1.1 N6F26Q whic I think is the January update. I have not seen a March update yet but I am sure it should have come. Perhaps because I sideloaded the 7.1.1?
Presumably I can download this and sideload it to get to the March update and hopefully correct the speaker phone issue without losing data using the instructions on this page

No, monthly security patches at least through this September.
I think what he was trying to say was that because the "supported" track for the N6 is Android 7.0 and not Android 7.1.1, any security updates we see will only be for Android 7.0, meaning no security updates for Android 7.1.1. Given how Google has dangled the carrot for us with Android 7.1.1 and then suddenly snatched it back it wouldn't surprise me if ending support for Android 7.1.1 on the N6 is what ends up happening.

She thinks that the Nexus 6 is done with security updates no matter if you are on 7.0 or 7.1.1. But we'll know over time.
Google should be more clear on that and just say whats up
FYI: Just did a full factory reset here and got 7.1.1 with March update. Phone runs even smoother now. 1st reset I have ever done.
