According to those specs listed by 'Invincible' the A2 Lite has a radio

I read after on GSMarena that it doesn't, there's thread on xdadevelopers about ways of listening to FM radio without rooting.
That's why I suggested the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, has FM radio and similar specs.

The redmi's have miui instead of Android one I think.

Hi all. Any advice for screen protectors?

I got some from Amazon and they were actually too small to fit properly. Most on Ali Express are for the Lite which appears to have a smaller screen

I got the "soft hydrogel" protector for the mi a2 and it's brilliant, it's plastic but fits the edge of the screen brilliants which the tempered glass ones just can't.

Any one get the Pie update yet? Started rolling out yesterday but when I checked I got a second November update and showing uptodate since.

Try https://thesolutionshop.global/

The only issue I have had with them is selling stuff they don't actually have in stock and then getting the runaround when waiting for it.

Yeah got the Mi a1 from them last year and it worked out fine! May try them again, 211 is very good for the phone. Just wondering about the whole customs thing with them, didn't get charged last year but i think they ship from an eu warehouse.

Finally plumped for the Lite, down to £115 on Amazon today

They also have a mispriced Redmi 6 if you want to have a bash at that. :pac:

Yeah, I've had two Mi A1s from them. Shipped from UK AFAIK, and two year warranty. The second one was delayed for ages as they didn't have the colour in stock, but didn't bother telling me. When I switched to black, it was delivered pretty soon after.

Just been trying to get that cheap redmo phone for he last hour, won’t sccept it at the checkout just says error processing. Oh well.

All done, it looks and performs really well. Weird with the clock on the left side of the notification bar but the icons are much smaller up there now and it blends better. Overall very happy.

Damn can't get my watch or head phones to pair with the phone since the update doesn't even detect them sees everything else though

Try removing the old BT profiles and then attempt to reconnect.

Done all that sees everything but my watch and headphones, even connects to an old pairing have be not my current ones

tnegun

And like that it's working not sure what changed I restarted retried a load of times but just picked them up and all good!
Edit. Might of been connecting to the old pair then the current that did it incase anyone else has a similar issue

Biggest improvement for me is the battery life got 2 days on a single charge this weekend, average use before the update 16 hours could be a push for me
