Hello! I bought a Xiaomi Mi A1 last month. I didn't update it to 8.0 because of the problems faced by users. Then, I heard the official 8.1 update just got released. My question is, is it worth it to update it now?

Camera is fine, about battery you can know only after few days...
8.1 is better for sure than 8.0, backup you SMS first because some users got their sms deleted. Camera is same as it was in every firmware. Battery is also same, no drain problem. So yeah, you can upgrade to 8.1
You are not going to face any changes from 8.0 to 8.1, same androids but just minor changes in UI and some new features, thats it

I also read this battery draining thing somewhere but I think this is a known bug and I believe they will fix it soon. I am on mm now but I am excited for Nougat. Can't wait for the stable Nougat release...

Thanks!

Be happy that you have fully working software. Major problems have been introduced in the October Security update, and even more problems are in the Oreo beta. I'd recommend staying on 7.1.1 August.

It might be that in your region updates aren't available. If you're willing to take the risk, you can try registering for the oreo beta update. Personally I haven't had any issues with my phone, but that's me. You might not be so lucky

Problems? I understand that in Oreo beta you can get more bugs but what are the problems with 7.1.2?
Thanks

I'm talking specifically about the background tasks bug. Search the forums, it absolutely cripples the phone and requires a reboot twice daily to keep the phone running normally.

But it was going to be fixed in Oreo, right?

Unfortunately it isn't fixed in the Oreo beta, neither is the SMS receiving bug (although that can be resolved by installing a third party SMS app). The Oreo beta has also introduced a load of Bluetooth problems (connection issues, poor quality audio, remote buttons not working).
It is currently not known if HMD will actual fix the issues in the final Oreo build.
I have never experienced any of these issues.
One thing I wonder is what if you rolled back to 7.1.1 then upgraded straight to oreo beta (if that's possible)? I'm just wondering if the issue doesn't have something to do with 7.1.2

It's up to you. Install nougat if you don't want any bugs. If bugs don't bother you, and you want to have the latest version, install oreo
Oreo ROMS (& stock too for that matter) still have BT car audio issues with metadata not displaying correctly in some vehicles (including my 2013 Accord.) If this isn't of concern to you, then go O.
if you don't mind with latest security update, go with N.
I have many complaint with Oreo.
I'm using stock oreo 8.0.0, not rooted and haven't encountered any bugs, so I'd recommend oreo

One of my frnd updated to Oreo n facing many problems so wait for stabel update current one having many bugs m r8 nw using noga n its flawless !!
It's funny how many complained about bugs in Nougat, but as soon as Oreo came out, Nougat is suddenly stable, bug free and the best ROM ever made. I have no issues with the latest Oreo and recommend it over Nougat..
No issues with Oreo that bothers me.
Nougat is quite stable, I use it for two month before Oreo came. If you choose Nougat, no more update for you, however there might be custom ROM for nougat in the future since the source code has been release. If you choose Oreo you will get the update, but dont expect too much.
Oreo.
No issues here.

Of course you can upgrade/downgrade as you like.
Could you explain what is your "joke" mean? or you try trolling people here?

True lol. I think there's maybe one more security patch and then we should be receiving the Oreo update, since I saw Honor recently tweet about Oreo preparation for the Honor 7x.
Yup I finally got it. Looks like it is rolling out to everyone today.

Lol. I know one of the devs for Honor USA and there is NO Oreo release for the 7x for main distribution yet. They just started the beta a month ago. Go check honor USA beta group on Facebook if you need confirmation.

Hi guys,
I just got this update too on my FRD L04. Since it's been a while I factory reset after an update, I did so to clean up my phone of all the other junk I've been stacking. Well this was a huge mistake because now the my bluetooth earphone won't connect to my phone. Before factory resetting, and on B392 it worked perfectly fine, I don't know why and how the factory reset messed with the Bluetooth connectivity. Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.
Hey guys, I am new on OnePlus . Have the Oneplus 8 Pro with official firmware. I see that OnePlus have beta firmware available. So my question is what to do. Is the beta safe and do you guys prefer beta above official? For example , this beta build is from December 29th.. yesterday ...
And can I go back to official after installing the beta?
I know it sounds a bit nooby, but this is my first OnePlus. Was on Xiaomi and Samsung before..
Please advise...

It's completely safe and you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a stable release.
Just be careful when updating or reverting back to stable. One of the previous releases forced a wipe.
Very unlikely to happen again but that would be my only gripe

You'll get updates as new betas are released, personally I stick with stable, I prefer it.
Betas get new features which may or may not come to stable.
