You don't have one from any other previous phone?

I do, but as has been touched upon in the follow-on discussion, I like to use a plug specific to the model.

Can private numbers be blocked on this device?
If not any apps anybody would recommend?

Anybody else having trouble ordering this from Amazon.es?

I ordered and it didn't dispatch for four days so cancelled and order again from another seller(lower price also this time). Still hasn't dispatched in over a day now.

I'd sorta understand if it was free delivery but seems very slow? Got on to Amazon support and they are going to try get me an update by email they said.

I find Amazon is getting very slow.
I ordered other stuff from amazon uk in the 11th and it still hasn't dispatched ( with amazon being the seller).

I ordered a dashcam on 11th and it arrived early on the 14th. I've never had an Amazon order arrive this quick.

That's woeful. Gonna start looking around a bit more if this is the level of service.

Both amazon.es orders I made took over a week to process.
Brutal service.

Ahhh. Another order placed on 18th has a delivery date estimate between 28th June and 3rd July. :rolleyes:

Ordered on the 11th and it arrived today.

Xiaomi seem to be slow updating this phone to 8.1. A lot of their new handsets already have 8.1 along with other android one devices. I'm happy with the phone but its not the cheap Nexus I was expecting it to be. 8.1 is out 4 or 5 months now and diddly squat available for the mi a1. I'm really gonna invest in a pixel 3 when they come out. You just cannot beat the update experience of a phone directly tethered to google.

What's on 8.1 that you're missing out on?

8.1 was released 15 days ago, on June 4th

For the Mi a1?

Pixel devices got it last December.

The update experience, experimenting with new features is always good especially if you buy a device that gives you the privilege to have them faster then others. Its why I bought an android one piece.

Google devices (nexus and pixel) got it last Dec, as they were the platforms it was developed on.

Each OEM has to beta test the OS on their devices.

Xiaomi have initially targeted end June /beginning July for Mi A1 roll out.

Other manufacturers are only rolling it out currently this month too.

I meant specifically.

My last update was 5th of May, but that was just security updates. If it was a major release, I'd be antsy too (I still remember spamming the updates for Froyo - with Flash!) but 8.1 doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Ok, a strange one you guys might be able to help with.

I have a Mi A1 for a while now and yesterday decided to try enter a competition on the radio.

Tried to text 53104 but got an error com.android.phone has stopped. So closed the app and tried re-sending. The sms will not send no matter what I do.

Have tried to change Premium SMS access but apparently it cannot be changed - get the notification "No installed apps have requested Premium SMS access"

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks.

To be fair it's not made clear it will be upgrading to 8.1 just looks like you will be installing the standard security update
