just arrived in France, already problems of updates

The Xiaomi Mi A1 has just landed in France that he is already having big problems with his updates! Soon after the release of the Android Oreo 8.1 update, several major bugs were spotted by users. In response, the Chinese brand has been forced to suspend the deployment of Android Oreo 8.1 on its entry-level smartphone.

Towards the end of June 2018, Xiaomi rolled out the Android Oreo 8.1 update on the Xiaomi Mi A1, a smartphone that is part of the Android One program. So the camera runs in a pure version of Android, without the overlay house developed by Xiaomi.

The update deployed proposed minor improvements, such as the security patch of June 2018, an improved Launcher, some aesthetic changes of the menu, and a battery indicator for your connected objects in bluetooth (headphones, headsets, connected watches, …).

Xiaomi Mi A1: the update Android Oreo 8.1 suspended because of two big bugs

Few after the deployment of the update, a bug in the Android Messages application has been reported by several users. According to the testimonials, the smartphone erases for no reason the entire history of messages received. It's rather annoying if you have important messages that you want to keep. According to XDA Developpers, this bug only triggers if you close the Android Messages application.

The second bug prevents Safety Net the tool that allows Google to check if your smartphone is certified or if it has been modified by the integration of a ROM or a root, to recognize the Android update Oreo deployed by Xiaomi. Safety Net confuses the update proposed by the Chinese manufacturer with third-party software. As a result, Google believes that your smartphone is not certified.

For security, Xiaomi decided to remove the update the time to find a solution to these two bugs. As our colleagues at XDA Developpers point out, we still do not know when the Android Oreo 8.1 update will make a big comeback. We'll let you know.
