Anyone any issues with mobile internet with this phone? Can't get online this last while

but1er · 16-01-2019 10:19PM

Sure let's risk it

Wow, it is ugly alright. The SMS and phone shortcut above all apps really bugs me. Anyway to turn that off?

Anybody with Wi-Fi problems after update? 2.4ghz connection is running horrendously slow (4-5 Mbps) - didn't notice any problems before the update. 5ghz runs absolutely fine (85-90 Mbps), but I was purposely using 2.4ghz previously as it's a better signal in far away spots in the house.

This is on two Mi A1's where I've installed the update in the last few days.

For anyone else who is having this problem, turning Location off solves it. I posted on XDA and this came back within seconds. Will report back if I find out more about the issue.

My phone is almost full and I'm trying in vain to transfer films from it to my laptop. Does anybody know how to do this?

Plug it in and select file transfer from the USB options in the notification bar.

scamalert · 06-02-2019 02:24PM

or use smart switch app, think its more to backup entire phone but allows different sections as well, either way above option should work good as well.

Check with another device that it is a data cable and not just charger, also check that the USB port is working.

Maybe that's it I didn't realise there was a difference in the spec of the cables. I'd say all I have are charging cables

The cable you got with the phone should be fine. That's what I use.

When you plug the phone into your computer, pull down the notifications on your phone...do you not see any USB options there? 'Charge only' or something along those lines is usually selected by default on mine.

Just plugged a charging lead into the laptop here, scrolled down through the various notifications to

I've used the cable that came with the phone but there's been no usb indication in the drop down menu.

bahanaman, do you get the notification shown in yellow above when you plug in the usb c cable from pc to phone ?

Forgot this is USB-C. I don't think there's a charge only USB-C cable like there is for micro USB.

I had run into a similar problem when I needed to download a picture from the phone from the handset to a laptop. Thanks for the info here. Problem solved for me.

Just curious if anyone has bought the mi A1 band watch to use with this phone?

Yeah, I have one until it popped out of the band somewhere and I didn't notice. Works well, sleep tracker seems to be pretty accurate too. Will work with any Android phone.

I got one for my wife for Xmas. Mi Band 3. It'll work with any android phone. Does all she wants, reads her heart rate, counts steps, tells her about sleep patterns etc. I think it'll display call and text message info too.

They are regularly on sale over on Amazon. Worth setting up a CamelCamelCamel alert
