Serious lag and stutters afger may patch

So guys, all of mi user might have updated their a1 to latest patch and i was womdering that if its only me who has been facing issue like some serious lag and stutters ? Even it stops responding while using phone normally , although it was flawless in previos patches but this patch totally messed up my a1in terms of performance and battery, now.the phone feel like its a low end phone rather than a mid ranger.

I'm on may security patch and the phone don't present any lag or error as you described. Probably you need yo perform a soft reset after the update. I hope you can solve these problems.

I don't recognize any of Your issues...
Neither this or any earlier Oreo update/patch has caused any issues of any kind.

I would initially clean the cache. O does not have a setting to do that in bulk but you can use built in Xiaomi's Mi Explorer, MIUI's Cleanup utility in Mi Explorer, uncheck items you don't want to delete in bulk.

Yep I'm definitely experiencing this as well. I'm not rooted or anything just running stock, noticed the phone laggs and hangs on certain apps after 2nd May update. I've had to force reboot twice now.

Same case ! Facing all sort of issues after 2nd may patch !

Same here. Sometimes when using any app like Twitter for example or just texting the phone will freeze for 2-3 seconds and be totally unresponsive until it recovers. Happens super frequently and wasn't a thing before the 2nd May patch.

Well no problem here, running latest firmware (V9.5.13.0.ODHMIFA) Must be your phone. Try factory reseting your device, it may help.

I don't think there are firmware issues, I have no issues and nore do most people who have installed the patch, in fact most people are reporting better performance after the second patch, especially better battery.
It's not unusual for apps to miss behave after an update and clearing the app cache is the simple solution if you don't know which app is causing the issue.

anyone else just get a second october update?

I just got this. The first October update was 105mb and I updated yesterday. IDK what this one is about.

Me too

I too have got it. Interesting..

It appears that they fixed the fingerprint and CPU lock bug along with the Smart Lock blank screen bug and the read and write speeds issues. I guess they finally did it. Next up is Pie I hope...

Here also. After yesterday an update was delivered, I am now offered a new update. The installation is now running. I noticed after yesterday's update that there were significant "memory / processing delays", which had previously not occurred on my device. The update is 203 mb, yesterday only 103.5mb were delivered.

Updated again with the 203mb . No the smart lock empty screen is not fixed. ?

¿? any change

Go to Settings, Security and Location and under Trust Agents disable Smart Lock, reboot the phone, go to Trust Agents again and enable Smart Lock and then try.

Version OPM1.171019.011.V9.6.15.0.ODIMIFE
Toke some time to install. It didn't disable CAMERA2API (installed before 9.6.14). I hope my battery gets better. Since last update battery was being drained really fast.

Which "base" version of GPlay Services do you have with october's patch? (For example, i can install an older version in august patch, like 12.6.89) is this possible in the latest update?

Buddy is camera 2 api still not enabled by default by xiaomi yet?

IjazCI said:
No. No camera2api by default. Hope Xiaomi enable it when they release pie. They are embarrassed to enable it as Gcam mods , put Mi camera application to shame.

Xiaomi can't move it so it will never be "fixed". You need to hold your phone differently.

Agree. With proper daylight it perform well . But Google's post processing is extraordinary.

Put your finger on the sensor and It will still fail, its software related

Here you go, you can reset the proximity with this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiledirection.proximitysensorreset&hl=en
But the position of proximity sensor is really bad, especially for the left arm holding phone users, like my self...so, that will never be fixed of course.

@Benjamin_L What @ramir0 is saying is right. This is a bug which existed even before the phone went on sale and still not fixed.

Ok, so this update seems to be the real one with some bugs fixed, the first one (100Mb) was just security update, this one should have some fixes, but without changelog, who knows what...
EDIT:
I just did a quick Andro Bench test.
My writing speed goes up, from 174Mb to 220Mb, everything else is like before update.

January security patch is here. Discuss bugs.

Received the January security patch today. Haven't found any bugs yet.

There are no new bugs for me as well but the current one remain like the cache one. But my phone's performance has definitely improved a lot. It's finally quick now and I have not experienced any lags since 2 days.

Slow emmc, auto brightness won't go below 19%

same here but i thought that's the normal behaviour

Unreliable data connection, after the latest update my phone has been dropping data connection constantly, especially when the screen is off. It could be my ISP, but it started right after the update, before it was working fine.

When will they fix the cpu the 4 core min freq is 1401 mhz it should be 633mhz. .need to restart the phone to fix it but after some time problem shows up again

When increasing or decreasing the volume sound, the window doesn't disappear automatically till I touch other part of the screen

Front flash not working
Emmc not fixed
Headphone volume not fixed
And some users facing bootloop after updating
So looks like the update is pretty good ?

@viniciusvm1 It wasn't working for me but clearing the data for camera app fixes the issue

Notifications suddenly going mute and doesn't work untill I restart the device. The ringer is not affected though. I have seen this bug right after attending a call, sometimes with bluetooth headset paired . ( Don't know if that's causing it, but everytime I encountered this was after a call.) It used to even happen earlier at times... Does anybody has a fix for this? Anybody esle experience this? Thanks in advance!

They have pulled the January update.

Do they really not test the update before releasing it?? This was very sloppy and unprofessional and I can't believe an Android One phone experienced something like this, since it's backed by "Google" and whatnot.
No wonder many of the bugs are still unfixed, this feels like the development team is probably made up of one or two developers who have 13 other projects in parallel.
Shame.

Even after releasing the 'January Update' at the end of the month, they had to stop the updates? Damn. Imo, they are focusing too much on MIUI and not on Android One.

Android 10 - RAM management issues?

I've updated to Android 10 recently and, while I enjoy the improvements to the performance, I have been far from impressed with the phone's RAM management. Sometimes, the phone would just randomly fail to launch any apps. I would just tap on any app I want to launch from the home screen or in the app drawer and the phone would just stall. Maybe after quite some time, the phone would initially launch the app but at crawling speed and fail to completely load it. The only way out is to tap the home or the recent apps button multiple times. Also, when opening the recent apps view, I don't actually find the app that failed to launch in the recent apps at all.
Is it only me or is this a known issue? Will formatting my phone do any help?

I am having a similar issue. It occurs randomly, and I have to reboot to fix it.

Same here.
The only way to recover for me is to reboot.
I am hoping the October release will have a fix.

Reference from today's Oct update: A-138323667 - Fix for memory drain in UI on all Pixel phones. I am betting this will fix yours as well

Yes, hope we get those fixes also (though only mentions security ?). I also hope the sensor calibration fix might stop phone waking up when in the car and we hit even a smallish bump, it never used to happen on 9.

Damn! I thought it probably would not be fixed as I believe we only get they security updates fast each month. We'll have to wait & hope we get the fixes soon. I haven't even hand chance to update yet! Lol

Sitrep: updated successfully to the latest update (October security patch). 41 hours of uptime have just passed as I was writing this and so far, I only had a similar issue with Google Chrome (failed to load any pages) but as soon as I opened the App Info and cleared 2 gigs of cache it went back to normal. Didn't get that freezing issue anymore. Looks like it was fixed indeed. Awesome!
I'll still keep an eye on it.

To my shock, it appears that the October security update didn't fix this issue. It may have taken more uptime to occur but it is still there. I think at this point I'm better off switching back to Android Pie custom ROMs.

October version seems better to me. Not as good as Pie but the freeze is not permanent to a point where I have to reset to recover.
Now, when it freezes, it takes about 3-5 seconds to recovers.

Not playing games. No audio.
Just in the midst of switching between tasks or starting a new app.
Freeze is less frequent and when it happens, the OS recovers within a few seconds.

Did you clean flash?
I had similar issues when I dirty flashed from P to Q.
Although there are defo some Audio HAL issues on Q as mentioned in a previous post, noticeable when trying to play music through the dongle.

Sitrep: switched to AOSiP 10 (20191012 build), never had a single RAM management issue since. Not sure if it's because of clean flashing the ROM, switching to f2fs or whether it's the ROM that has some fixes. But, well I'm a happy man now

Custom roms are always way better than stock, it's like a show car next to a stock lol

I just downloaded it again this morning and tried with the same method and it worked this time. Pretty unusual for this to happen.

Ok but did you have the problem before? Because for some users there were no issues also before this update. Judging from the xda poll the ratio is/was around 50/50.
