Updated mine just before Christmas, had to go into settings and check for update.

I haven't got it and I check daily. Maybe it's to do with the country of origin of the handset?

I got a notification while out in town that pie was available,so I thought, cool I'll download when I get home. When I did the update had disappeared...

Same issue here, it's popped up on my screen a few times and when I click to install it says I'm up to date, last update 2018.

From reading on XDA I believe there are issues with the update so it was probably pulled.

Got the update on my handset last week, MI A1 International version from Banggood.com. Have had no issues so far.

Xiaomi MI A1 screen protector.

Could somebody recommend one please

Bahanaman

Still no pie...

StereoSound

I got the update to pie on 23 December, I have no 4G since. There is some big cock up with the update so assuming it was pulled for the rest of you, I believe Band 20 is gone and I am stuck on H+ since the update. Not so nice..

Apparently, there's a Jan 5th Security patch out now, has fixed the 4g issue some have been having. It doesn't appear to be out in Ireland yet though.

why? what is wrong with the update?
I did it.....seems fine so far....

Bahanaman

Update installed. Not sure if my data is as good now. Before it used to say 3g and that is as good as I could get. I'm with Lyca. Now it says H+. Are they the same? I have the fm radio alright which is good.

Got this patch this morning, 72mb or there abouts. I had no issues with 4G to begin with but installed and the phone is fine to my eye.

updated today, havent tried its outside of wifi area yet to check 4g... however....

the very first thing i noticed was pie put the google search ribbon on my homepage.
it pushes all my widgets up which clogs the screen and hides the wall paper, and i hate a fussy clumsy homepage.
the text on the home page also appears larger than previously which is not nice.

i cant seem to be able to get rid of this google search bar.

ive disabled it and it reverted to teh factory search bar which is just a black strip.
its not obviously possible to drag it to a remove option
and it does appear to be there as a widget either.

any suggestions??

Nova Launcher?

You can make your own homepage exactly how you want, put in the search ribbon anywhere (or totally remove it, or change it to just a little pill on the side of the screen or whatever you like really)

Just checked and found the update available. Downloading now.

Don't need the FM Radio so might throw it up on Adverts.

:pac:

Feck this stupid search bar. Why the hell isn't it movable?

Install a launcher.

sydthebeat

Tried the Microsoft launcher... Hated it.

I'll try the nova one soon

Yeah, shouldn't have to though.

sydthebeat

So it looks like using a launcher is the only way to get rid of the crappy search bar (even making it see through looks sh1t)

Having played with a few, evie launcher is my fav, and closest to the default pie quickstep launcher.

Is 4g back working?
