    Post Any Recommendations For Slim Gel Case (like the old S-Line) ?

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/iBetter-Premium-Flexible-Protection-Smartphone-%EF%BC%88Black%EF%BC%89/dp/B08HQNVDSD I went for this one in the end. It's pretty good, definitely better than the free one in the box, but it didn't have a hole for the IR Blaster, which I use a fair bit, but I managed to...

    Thread Phone seems generally smoother after October Security Update to me

    So after nearly giving up in this phone after it being almost unusable between March -August ish... I found that the September update made it pretty good again... And have had the October Security Update (and bug fixes it says) for a few days now, and I feel like this phone is back to how good...

    Post MI A2 Lite Custom ROM

    Interesting, I thought you had to root to install a custom ROM... I will look into that, as I believe it is the root that creates issues for banking apps. Yes, I have Pixel Experience on my Redmi Note 5 Pro, it is awesome really, would like it on my Mi A2 Lite, but need to be able to do my...

    Post MI A2 Lite Custom ROM

    Thanks for the answers too. I have been on stock since release, but now thinking of putting on a Rom... But am I right in thinking that if I do then 'banking apps' will no longer work ?

    Thread Possible method to fix all apps to 120hz (until phone is rebooted)

    https://youtu.be/JZNnB3JYhNA Just seen this, I haven't tried yet, but in the video he gets YouTube at 120hz, and seems it's a fix until the phone is rebooted.

    I'm using this phone with Google Pay in the UK, had no issues myself. I didn't have to make any settings changes, etc. (I got my unit from Xiaomi UK)

    Still have my Note 5 Pro (Whyred) and with Google Experience Rom on it it absolutely flies. Hope to see the same rom come to the Poco X3, which I agree feels like a great device just being a but hampered by its software. I also feel the X3 is just a bit too heavy and big really. The Note Pro 5...

    Thread Any Recommendations For Slim Gel Case (like the old S-Line) ?

    I don't mind the free case that came with it, but would prefer something a little bit slimmer if possible, and also with a better 'grip' to it. I used to always get S-Line cases, but can't see any at the moment. I have been looking in Amazon (UK), and nothing really stands out If anyone has...

    Thread Anyone else not particularly impressed with 120hz refresh rate ?

    Been using the phone for 24 hours now, don't really see much point in the 120hz rate, only notice it slightly smoother if scrolling up and down quickly. I guess it's more for games (?). I will stick with 60hz and save some battery, seems fine to me.

    Post August Update seems to have generally improved performance to me

    Well nearly been a week now since the update, and definitely feels to me.that things have improved at lot in general use. Not as good as it was brand new, but nowhere near as bad as it was getting the previous few months, and very usable. Battery life seems to have gotten back to where it was...

    Thread August Update seems to have generally improved performance to me

    Installed it about an hour ago (UK) and in general the phone seems a noticeably zippier for browsing and opening apps etc. I am not a tech head, and the update is small, only 13 ish megabytes, but feels like the sluggishness I had been experiencing the last six months has gone somewhat. I had...

    Thread One Year of Using The Mi A2 Lite... Best Phone I have ever had

    Just thought I would post at how good my experience has been with this phone, I was surprised to see that it is well over a year now since it was released (July 2018) and I got mine very soon after in August 2018. The year has literally flown by in mobile phone terms, as I had normally found...

    I used to use that quite easily until the pie update, now I cant. Have they changed the process, or is it gone ?

    Certainly very different. I Think I prefer the previous way, which too was a bit irritable to me, hopefully can get used to this. Would be nice to have the option.

    Thread FM Radio Now Fully Working and App Included (Pie)

    This is a Biggie for some folk, and me included. Very pleasant surprise to see it there now, the QMMi temporary 'fix' wasn't very good at all, but this seems great so far.

    Very happy with this phone. Rapid Charging on good old Micro Usb (I don't want to have to change to USb C yet), great battery life, pure android, Loud Loud Speaker, android one is very smooth, no bloat, IR blaster, a kind of Hidden FM Radio (using Qmmi settings, not great but usuable in a way)...

    Post Ergonomics (in-hand feel)

    Great for me. I was a big fan of the classic Sony Compacts, and hate the big chunky phones that make up 95% of the market these days. This is a nice mid way solution, and I find I can fit it in my shirt pocket and use one handed, just. So for max screen size and still being just about able to...

    Post Quick Charge support ?

    When my Mi A2 Lite is charging it says 'Charging rapidly' and just almost exactly 2 hours from 0% to 100%. For a 4000mah battery that's not bad in my book.

    Pretty much 2 Hours from 0% to 100% rapid charging. Not bad.

    Post Anyone else had screen scratched already ? Is this covered by warranty (UK) ?

    Fair enough, I was thinking that may be the case, just was unsure as never had this kind of thing before. Have put the phone back in its chunky case, and will just try to get used to the scratches for now. Thanks for the input.

    Thread Anyone else had screen scratched already ? Is this covered by warranty (UK) ?

    This is partly my fault, but surprised to see the screen seemingly scratch so easily. For the couple of weeks I had this phone I had it in an comparatively thick rubber / gel case I had bought from eBay after deciding the gel case in the box did not offer enough protection if the phone was...

    Thread Are you using the case in the box, or did you buy another ?

    I was pleased to see a decent little case in the box, until I put it on and found it had no 'lip' at all to protect the front (ie if you put it face down on a surface), shame as it's quite a nice grippy and slim case otherwise. I paid £4 for another one off Amazon and it's OK, has a lip for the...

    Post Activate Radio FM

    Yeah, pretty much the same solution as I posted in post 7, the QMMi. I have found it doesn't find many channels at all, but luckily I can find a couple of the ones I listen too, but even then it's not as 'stable' or clear as using the FM radio on my other Xiaomi Miui devices. Ah well, have...

    Thread Was this originally planned to be an updated Redmi 4x ?

    Just noticed when I went to set up a WiFi hotspot on this that the system name it gave itself was Redmi4xmQ (or similar, not sure of last couple of letters, as I have changed it) I also have a Redmi 4x (great phone) and it is pretty much the same design but a centimeter taller (and taller...

    Bit different, but I did an hour test of streaming youtube on WiFi (everything else closed, sync off, stamina off, etc) with medium brightness and medium audio through speaker. It lost only 7%, so looking at 14 hours watching YouTube in this way Pretty good I reckon. In general use the...

    Post Activate Radio FM

    Got my Mi A2 lite yesterday and was surprised to see that there is no FM Radio app (previews and descriptions had said it had as far as I knew). Rather disappointed as the FM Radio was a Biggie for me, and having had it in my Xiaomi Redmi 4x and Xiaomi Note 4x I was expecting it to be there...
