Hi There!
I'm in a kinda weird situation, never encountered before. A bit of background:
I bought Mi A1 recently (like a month ago in Feb'18), it came with Android 7.1.1 received a security updated shortly after and then upgraded to Android 8.0.0 (this was within a week of buying it).
I travelled to Italy and Switzerland after that, no issues there everything was working fine. Last week I had to come to Bahrain and since then no apps (not even a single one!) are getting upgraded/downloaded.
I scoured the internet hoping to find a solution, nothing yet! So far I have:
1. Cleared google play data (cache & data) - Multiple times
2. Removed and re-added google account - Multiple times
3. Cleared google play services (cache & data) - Multiple times
4. Factory reset of the phone - Multiple times
Still the problem persists. I read somewhere that this might be caused because of change in country, I updated the address on Google Play, still nothing! Also, as I mentioned before, I did travel to Italy 2 weeks before and there it was working perfectly fine. (don't think this is due to that, not sure though).
It's only working with a VPN (after selecting India server - My home country, where I bought the phone from), could anyone help me find a permanent solution to this, please!? I don't want to use VPNs, also, why does it work with a VPN and not normally? and this is happening on both mobile data & WiFi.
PS: I have another phone (a lil old, Sony Xperia: Android 5.1.1) which worked fine in Italy and here in Bahrain as well. - if this helps.
This might not work and maybe you dont even like to do, but if there's some roaming lock on software lvl with stock oreo update then try official ressurection remix, or official lineage os 15.1 (it will be out soon).
But that's the thing, I did carry it with me in Italy and Switzerland and everything was okay there. So, unless it is a country specific restrictions that has been introduced in Oreo (which I highly doubtful) the actual problem is something else.
And I would prefer a normal solution without having to use additional apps, coz that I am able to do now with a VPN.
New Mi A1 phone is failing in every way
Hi. I purchased my new 'global' Xioami Mi A1 in February and it was working perfectly. I'm in the USA. In mid March I received an update for Oreo and shortly thereafter my phone has become almost useless. Here are the problems I am now experiencing:
- Home button does not work
- Menu button does not work
- Phone keeps chiming but no notifications appear
- Nothing works in my notification pulldown menu
- Apps will not download nor will they update
- Phone will not reboot
- Phone will not reset... the reset option in settings has been disabled. The power/volume up reset option does not work either.
Does anyone know what is going on? How to fix this mess? Is a remedy being released? I called Xioami and they claim they can not help me because the Mi A1 has not been officially released in the USA... WHAT? ITS BEING SOLD ON AMAZON?... ANDROID/GOOGLE IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY ARE THEY NOT?
I'm not a techy, but please, if someone has an answer please kindly let me know if I need to move on to an iPhone. Thank you in advance.

Try factory reset - it`s the first thing you should do.
Second option is flashing firmware via MiFlash software.

Good morning everybody,
I flashed the UK version of Nougat on my S7 Edge last wednesday (I'm from the Netherlands, so the update is not yet available on my device).
It worked perfectly and Nougat has been great so far (except for the headsup preview, wich I have since disabled using ADB).
But ever since the install I keep getting a pop-up saying that Authservice has stopped. I'll get a few of these in a row and then I'll get one saying Authservice keeps stopping. I can close the notification and tell it to close the app, and it will be gone for a while.
Does anyone has any idea what this is and how I can stop it?
I think it has something to do with Samsung Pay and the fact that Pay isn't available in the Netherlands yet...
But I've tried force stopping and disabling Pay, to no avail.
Thanks!
Install package disabler (or Titanium if you're rooted) and search for com.samsung.android.authservice then disable/freeze it. This should stop it.
just optimize your phone in device maintenance. its what i did..
:good: This worked for me. Thank you.
No it didn't at least. It only worked for a while.
Hi!
My wife has a Samsung A3 2015 that she's in love with and won't change for anything. There is 2 problems with it though that she has to deal with.
Problem 1: Gps is not working properly, this is using google maps (haven't really tried other apps). The GPS can (with minor struggles) tell us our current position, but nowhere as smooth as you wish a GPS to be, like for example driving a car. If we have it like that, it can for example be frozen, after 2 minutes, get that position, freeze again etc.
My idea was that a new ROM could solve this, maybe? We've tried to factory reset the phone, update maps, update the phone, turning on/off the phone, most basic stuff, but the GPS has never been working properly since she got the phone.
Problem 2: Unresponsive/random touch. This is everything from the touch typing a bit as it wants to it just freezing and hanging. This has kept happening after factory reset too.
Is a new (custom) ROM an option to try, if so, which ones are there for a 2015 A3? If a new (custom?) ROM isn't an option, is there anything else worth to try? Maybe some new firmware or such that you manually have to flash? Not currently sure what version she's using.
Any input or help will be greatly appreciated
(just wanted to consult some more experienced people before perhaps bricking her phone...)
Has anyone else noticed that their device certification in the Play Store suddenly shows "Uncertified"? My tablet is totally stock, never tried to root or unlock the bootloader. I just noticed that I couldn't download or update any apps, then suddenly saw this.
Any ideas about what's going on?
Fix
I'm not sure about the "Uncertified" status because I never checked, but I suspect you are having the same issue many other owners have after updating to 7.1.1. I had the problem as well, in which I could not update or download any apps in the Play Store. I would recommend looking at this thread: httpsCOLONSLASHSLASHforums.lenovoDOTcom/t5/Yoga-Book-Android/Lenovo-Yoga-Book-Android-Nougat-Breaks-Google-Play-App-Store/m-p/3834779#M466. (Replace the capitalized words with the corresponding symbols because I'm too new to post external links. The solution it lists about disabling adminstrators and removing VPN's and then restarting did not work for me initially. I ended up doing a factory reset, which solved the problem for a short time. Once it came back the solution from the thread fixed it and I haven't had an issue since.
It's absolutely sickening! Since weeks Google Services stuck on my both devices (X90F and X90L) I tried all the suggestions (factory reset and so on ...) given at this thread:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-B...aks-Google-Play-App-Store/td-p/3813570/page/3
Nothing works permanently and now, suddenly Play Store says: "Device not certified" . Both devices are not rooted and System-Build is LenovoYB1-X90L_100081_171013 / LenovoYB1-X90F_100083_171013
Turning on battery saver seems to be a viable workaround.

Not really
Btw I registered the uncertified devices now at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/. But nothing changed in a positive way. On X90F sometimes over night play store runs and apps were updated. With X90F I always I have to stop play services and play store, delete cache and play store data. Then, after restart apps were updated too.
On both devices are running the identical apps and on my old Nexus7 (LineageOS Android 7.1.2) with same apps, activated builtin administrators and AdGuard-VPN all works flawlessly :good:
I think Lenovo urgently needs to deliver an update to get the devices recertified and pass the Android compatibility test.
Encountered the same. Is there still no fix or update from Lenovo for that?
1. Background
It's been 4 months since I bought Xiaomi K20 8G and 256G(Not Pro). I bought it from China, and from the beginning, the cell phone was unlocked. (I didn't know what it was. Maybe the seller changed the Chinese version to Global Rom and sold it. I didn't even know what that meant at the time. I think seller stated the same.)
2. Problem
There was a bit of heat from the beginning. And I got many messages that due to heat warning, the Wifi, camera, and 3G/4G would be limited. In relation to that, I found out that there had been a lot of such problems while searching solution in Internet, and I saw many articles, software upgrades had solved such overheating. And someone recommend such thing can be solved by installing ROM again in the setup(there is menu downloading latest ROM). So I tried this (MIUI 11.0.4 global) and further deleted many apps and re-installed apps, used battery saver mode and etc.. Though there was heat, phone didn't give a overheating message, and wifi also worked well.
For the time being around 1 month, I used it well.
Just 4~5 days ago, again overheating message came. Then new ROM (11.0.5) came and phone got hang / shut down / reboot / Overheaing warning / wifi disconnected.(WIFI is on, but suddenly not working. Then I off WIFI, tried to on WIFI but it didn't ON. Toggle button move but come back off position again, Once I reboot, it work for some time only.)
3. Attempts to resolve
Although phone has heat, I decided to install TWRP & the other operating system (ROM) because I thought such problem coming from the operating system / software / apps rather than a hardware problem.
I've been working hard on installation of Pixel Experience following the guide of the experts, but the above problems persist, I've changed Global Rom to EU Rom, I've tried downgrading from the recently updated MUIU.
However reboots occur more and more frequently.
Even though I don't do anything, my K20/9T phone is rebooting, hanging, stopping, and shutting down. And even no tasks are there, heat is on the phone.
4. Request.
Experts, please help & guide me.
I'm under huge stress from K20/9T.
I am trying to drain out battery.... at this moment.
LOL just fu cking trash your phone and buy the pro one
You should try xiaomi.eu ROMs.
Hi XDA,
I'm having an issue where every time i unlock my phone using a lock screen notification to go directly to the app, my phone crashes and goes back to the lock screen. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?
