The comparison spec lost does say that, but when I asked on Banggood, the seller says theres no FM radio. Confusing

That's a no no so

In case of the Mi A1 (Android One based), it has the hardware for it, but no software installed to activate it.

How to Activate and Listen to FM Radio on Xiaomi Mi A1

An app to use is listed in above link or possibly install: -
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/miui-fm-radio/

Edit: - The app in the link (expensive), no longer works on an updated device.
The MIUI apk, may not work without MIUI framework. (If you search, there is warez app that is suppose to work).

Alternative Method: -

Trick : Activate FM Radio on Xiaomi Mi A1

I have a redmi note 2 prime, over two years old and no radio, but through Google, I've managed to install an fm radio app, not using any internet or mobile data, so the phones seem to have the hardware but the soft ware needs to be installed-activated.

From reading a few bits during the week there is a FM radio on the A1, it's just not enabled. Using a code *#*#6484#*#* will apparently enable it. Looking at it quickly, this code gives access to a heap of test modes, including the FM radio.

As far as I know you can't transfer WhatsApp history from any phone. Same with Viber.

You can back it up to Drive to transfer from Android to Android but I'm not sure if it's allowed on an iPhone.

Ah right. I came from Windows phone. Sorry for the misinformation ;-)

Have decided to purchase this phone, thanks to all the info here. Looking to get a smartwatch that would work well with it, sub â‚¬100, if anyone has any suggestions?

My Mi A1 and Huawei watch play very nicely together. It's a quite a stretch from your €100 but at £189 it's very nice piece of kit for the price.

Got one of these delivered yesterday to replace my VF SU6 which I have since June 2015.standard home screen has stopped has being popping up last few weeks.

Geek buying German warehouse. You'll have it in 3 days. Might not be the cheapest option though

jclack · 29-03-2018 07:34PM

Got two of these from geek buying, delivered from Germany within 2 working days.

Upgraded from an old htc one x so starting standards aren't the highest but even allowing for that really impressed. Screen quality is great, v quick flicking between apps etc and being able to have two apps open on screen at same time is brilliant especially for copying and pasting.

For 180 all in per phone with 64gb would definitely recommend

Thanks for the reply, a bit too much of a stretch. Was looking at the amazfit pace looks like a good spec for the price.

The AmazFit is a decent looking device for the price. My missus has the Xiaomi band (about €25) and loves it. The software is very good.

I think there is a secondary noise cancelling mic on the top of the phone I think that's what you may have killed unfortunately
