Xiaomi mi a2 lite

StereoSound

The Mi A3 is probably upon us now, I probably wouldn't bother with the A2 at this stage, I still have the Mi A1 and will keep it until the A3 arrives.

the mi a2 lite and a2 didn't become available until August 2018 so going by the same release date there is no point waiting that long for the next version if you are eyeing either up as new phone.

Does anyone have any good case recommendations for this phone? Something akin to an Otterbox Symmetry case where theres a lip to protect the screen?

The OH loves her phone but the case that comes with it doesn't provide any protection around the screen. Thanks.

Updated phone yesterday but not connecting to internet? Mobile data still switched on. Anyone have similar problem?

I'd never use eglobal again but I think I've just been unlucky, ordered a phone start of December and still no sign of it.

I think they just told me it was dispatched to shut me up

If it doesn't appear by the end of this week I'm asking for a refund

I use a gkk case and find it brilliant (they're on aliexpress)

You must've been very unlucky, I ordered one the week before Christmas, and it arrived within a few days.

ImARebel

Judging by other people's experiences i think I was. The worst part was their customer service is **** and no apology nothing...

Again I seem to be in the minority. I'd have had the phone shipped from China 10 times over and it would have been here in time for Christmas

Oh well

I ended up ordering this through honourbuy. E188 for phone, case and shipping via DHL, the shipping was 24 euro alone. However ide rather pay that for piece of mind.
The phone won't be dispatched until Wednesday due to new years.

Yes happened to me. I went into APN settings and selected data.meteor and working again.

I'm the same, ordered on 2nd December and still not here. From contacting them I discovered they had no stock (unfortunately not mentioned before ordering). They told me they'd have stock by the 14th, but that came and went with no update. Eventually dispatched on the 21st and is now enroute. The tracking has it about to be handed to an Post so I'm hoping to see it this week or next at the latest.

yes the only way to know that they really have stock on an item is if you see this



but that is on so few items or will probably not be on the cheapest option for the same item

can be unlucky but I have been ok with them over say 6 orders

there is a tradeoff with eglobal - cheap prices for longer delivery.

there seems to have been a delay on mi a2 lites in general as amazon had the same issue with them - took 3 1/2 weeks for them to deliver for the offer they had and amazon are usually rapid

as a rough guess it seems like the majority are lucky with eglobal but maybe (rough guess) 10% run into long delays.

The wife has this phone, and a few websites seem to think she's not within the EU.

One site that sells clothes won't let her proceed to view the stock.

Is there some setting from within the phone I'm missing to let her select Ireland.

Strange had she a VPN running or sometime like tunnel bear running? What browser is she using?

Definitely not. My wife thinks setting up a PayPal account is way beyond her:pac:

It's a strange one alright.

The website she was looking to buy kids clothes on was Asda if anyone wasn't to check out if they're having any problems with?

No problems on my phone (pocofone) yet here won't let her go past that screen which says she seems to be outside the EU and they won't ship .

Going to buy this phone, just wondering does it come with earphones and mic? like you get with iphone?

Thanks

I ordered from honourbuy, phone was dispatched this morning, and got a text from DHL to say it will be delivered tomorrow. Can't complain with that

yes with honorbuy you do pay more but you get the stuff pretty quickly alright as they use express courier delivery - no messing.

bought a tablet from them b4 Christmas - got the same text but it took a day longer as it missed a flight connection - probably to do with Christmas tho.

Getting back to this one, chrome seems to keep changing the web address from ending in .co.uk to .com.

I have tried clearing cache/data and various other things but no use, surprisingly opening the pages in incognito presents no problems at all, but as I said, the wife is no computer whizz kid, and even this simple task looks daunting to her

Have this phone about a month. Delighted with it until last week. I updated it and for some reason it won't connect to my home network. I've gone through the whole phone and tried what seems like every setting there is. I've even rang my internet provider. Any ideas?

Have you tried, "Forget Network" and start again?

Yeah tried that. It's weird. I tried to download two episodes on Netflix last night and it wouldn't connect to home network. I switched off home wi-fi and used eir mobile data and once the download started I tuned back on the home wi-fi. It finished the first episode via home and then stopped! Did the same for the second episode. I'm at a loss now.

what frequency is your router running on?

there can be issues with 5ghz channels.

if it's on 5ghz, change it to 2.4ghz and see if that works.

That's what I'd have recommended also.
