So the update was available for a while if you're on Global and it just released for EEA devices. I honestly thought that they'll skip it and only release the 11.0.2.0 version on EEA.
If what I'm reading is correct, it was released a while ago for China and apparently some of the Global users got it too, it it supposedly more polished and it has a few bugs patched.
Can someone who downloaded the Android 10 based MIUI 11.0.1.0 and used it for a while on their Redmi 8 report how stable and polished it is? Did you encounter any bugs? Is it safe to update now or should I wait for a patch or two?
Update:
I installed it and it seems to work fine, no bugs so far and the only "issue" I found was that the Search in Settings takes a bit more time.

Miui 11.2.0 android 10 for redmi 8 Nigeria
Android 10 update on Redmi 8 Global Edition Nigeria : Review
Today I received the much awaited android 10 update on The Xiaomi Redmi 8 series and having awaited this update eagerly I was curious to explore the new fixes and features this update was to have .
Overview: the update named miui 11.2.0 global had a whopping 1.9gb as size on notification.
It took me approximately 13minutes to download it on MTN Nigeria 4g and installation was very smooth via the bootloader .
Restarting took a bit longer than normal for a first start bearing down almost to 1minute 23 seconds than the usual 50 seconds boot time I had due to first time start.
Unfortunately and much to my disappointment and anguish. This update came still based on Miui 11. I know, I know I am disappointed myself, I wanted miui 12 so bad.
Transition on miui 11 was normal and my entire set up was untouched , however I did notice that I had the gesture bar beneath the screen which I promptly disabled. This i hope is a sign we would get miui 12 soon.
There was no lag when I went through the phone also I did notice that a couple of xiaomi's native apps had been updated notably the browser.
The miui launcher for those using the default launcher on Android 9 now has the app drawer ability enabling have apps in a drawer than on default home mode, although I had this feature since installed a direct apk immediately I bought the phone..
Bugs:
Then to the bugs. The android 10 release is basically stable with probably bugs I haven't yet noticed but two bugs were immediately very obvious to me.
Battery drain: unlike in android 9 , my battery dropped drastically more in minutes than I ever experienced in this device dropping from 99 to 97 in 2 minutes on use than the usual 5, it did stabilize as the device settled and being used to custom ROMs I did expect it. I would update about the battery life as we progress.
Google assistant: by default I enabled Google assistant by long pressing my power button for .5 secs since I used gestures but it didn't work, I noticed the assistant apps was gone and downloaded from playstore but it still hasn't worked. I do love the assistant and hope the next update fixes the issue.
Verdict:
In a nutshell, if your a tester freak like me, downloading the latest update won't be a bad idea but don't just expect miui 12 as you will be disappointed.
You can delay the download till you have miui 12 avaliable which I believe won't be long enough, best guess October .
Funny side : was it me or did I think my device was a bit lighter after the update, I mean I picked up device and it felt like some weight was taken off, maybe it's my imagination.
Tell me what you think about your update in the comment section below and follow me back

I noticed a few bugs in addition that you wrote.
Icon bug: If you turn off MIUI opitmalization, then some icons in the homescreen will be bigger than the others. In Android 9, I never noticed this issue. You can easily fix it by turning back MIUI optimalization, and force stopping the System UI and the System launcher(they 'ill restart if you go back to the home screen, don't worry)
Spotify bug: Since the update If I turn on Equalizer in the settings of the spotify app, then the music will sounds like an errape
And the google assistant is working fine for me
The deitals of my Redmi 8: 64gb storage, 4GB ram
Chipset: Qualcomm SDM439 Snapdragon 439 (12 nm)
CPU: Octa-core (4x1.95 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.45 GHz Cortex A53)
GPU: Adreno 505
I wrote the last 3 rows because I don't know if there is a Mediatek/Mali version of this phone
Europan rom (Locked bootloader)
Yeah, I also noticed a few bugs that bothered me enough to downgrade back to Android 9 for now, and while I was at it I installed MIUIMIX to hopefully get a bit more battery and a bit less spyware

I recently got a new Mercedes C Class 2017 (built november) with the all-new Android Auto Support (finally..)
My girlfriends phone works fine with it, I can connect it, android auto starts and I am able to use it for as long as I've tested (~2 hours).
When I try to do the same with my 3t (running latest open beta 18) my phone will hard crash after a few minutes of usage. I'm talking screen black but still running kind of crash here, phone does no longer react to anything, I can only do a hard restart (long pressing the power button for ~10 seconds). The crash is always reproducable but does not seem to be limited to certain apps (happened on spotify, google maps, waze and idle), the phone just crashes after a few minutes. I already disabled battery optimization for Android Auto but to no effect.
Any ideas?
Try upgrading to the stable Oreo 5.0 ROM instead of the beta, there's lots of debugging turned on in the beta that can cause issues, as well as buggy implementations. Beta is Beta after all [emoji16]

hm I was going to do that but I read a post somewhere that there are no bugs fixed between the beta and the stable channel for this release so I thought it's probably not worth trying. I'll give it a shot nevertheless today
-edit- I tried it: did a full wipe and a clean install of OOS5 but Android Auto is still crashing after a few seconds of usage
Just picked up the mi 9t yesterday and it was on OS 10 and I updated to 11 now there's all kinds of issues. No screen on notifications, AOD is all over the place seems to be battery drain also and does not seem to be as smooth and fluid like it was. Waiting for my BL unlock it'll be next Saturday. Kind of stupid to make us wait for it. Prob cause we'll see all there updating mistakes and return the damn things. Any suggestions I'd just like to go back to 10 from 11 my ARB is #1 var. AOD was messed up on os 10 also but at least notifications worked like it shoukd.
Just bumped it back to 11.01 firmware and everything is working fine.
Hi, I recently ordered an x2 pro (Global) based on its great on paper specs and the huge amount of glowing reviews on YouTube. But after I ordered I read on Realme's forums and a little on here about users experiencing multiple bugs in the newest update (c26) Including but not limited to , massive battery drain, slower charging, phone overheating, decrease in SOT by as much as 60%+, low FPS in games (especially PUBG), lag in launcher, microphone not working in calls unless you cycle speakerphone on/off etc. So that's a bummer if true. My question is kind of a poll of how many are experiencing this, or if its everyone? And if it is everyone, what is the recommended newest build until a fix comes out ? How is c24? Is it worth the minor bugs to have the newer interface, or is it just as unstable where I should just avoid Realme UI all together right now and just get the latest Color OS build ? Thanks and I look forward to everyones opinions and info.
Most of what you saw on C26 is not true ! What is true is loss of SOT primarily ! A significant portion of it ! Around 2 hours for me from 9 hours to 7 and that is really bad ! About PubG that is the game not the phone , to minimize "lag" use performance mode on game space ! Charging still is fine !
Remember most users are from India and summer is here so any phone will heat up .
What I recommend for most people that has their bootloader unlocked and has some custom recovery flashed is to go back to C24 . No battery problems and lags , is the best RealmeOS update FOR NOW !
Good luck ! You will love your new toy ?

Yeah the C24 android update is good , I can't find anywhere , but finally I found in Russian realme website , anyone wants to get this firmware , just download it from their site , the charging animation and the speed of the phone is also good .
Anyone know how to block the ota's ???
Thanks guys, going to install c24... It is prompting me to update to c26 from a10.... Anyone know how to disable ota's (temporarily) until a new update is out then I can turn it back on... If I knew what server it was checking I could block it or something. Anyone that know how to do this please let me know. Thanks in advance.
No real issues on c26 for me and I know a lot of people are happy,
No battery drain,in fact getting 10 and half hours SOT according to Accubattery,
Only charging once in the morning for 15 minutes,
Not a gamer so don't have the game lag that may just be an issue with the game such as PUBG,
No lag in launcher for me,using stock launcher with animations off,
Sound quality is actually louder and clearer for me than previous RUI updates
Only thing I did notice is occasionally hang in chrome where would just have to close chrome to get out.
C.24 I had worse issues with sound,hanging and phone restarting itself with flashing Realme logo.

Definitely,The newest update c27 is even better and as stable as colorOs,I Am in Europe but both the Indian and EU software is the same so you could get the software file from either support page and update, just download and use the file manager app to select the download file,

I am always doing local backup, transfer on my PC, then changing ROM and once ready return backup back to phone and restore.
im only getting 2 bars on mobile reception with in my home with the new version
XiaomiEU v13.0.10.0 stableso i went back to EEA and now im getting 4 bars and better download speeds on 5g
The keyboard sometime minimizes/closes itself after clicking on an input window. (only when using gestures for navigation) I haven't noticed this issue with the 13.0.9, but I can't guarantee that it wasn't a problem back then.
Having Network problem.
Coming from xiaomi.eu 12.5.20 - battery life is a lot worse.
Do not disturb (DND) mode doesn't work properly. I continue receiving WhatsApp sound notifications. It's really disappointing.

Hi alleshi,
As far as I researched correctly, v12.5.4.0 was the last fastboot version.
Happy Easter!

Plenty of bugs. Reception is a bit worse, battery life more so. Keyboard doesn't pop up every now and then or decides to minimize while typing, automatic time is completely broken - shows up 07.may.2090. Now time and date are set manually otherwise it doesn't work at all. And i have to do this after every reboot. After the update all the apps have lost their permissions so they have to be granted again. So far i see no major improvements in camera. The rear display is completely forgotten. All in all i have the feeling of a minor A11 udate instead of a A12 experience. It's not a bad phone, but Xiaomi clearly don't have mature enough UI to be in the flagship game. I don't think i'm buying any other Xiaomi phone.

Its so sad to see, all this problems with this awesome phone... Im happy im still on 12.5.20, my idea was to what for a stable, stable version on A12, but ehmm, it don't seems to come.
Atleast my version is rock solid... But after this phone, no more xiaomi phones for me in some years.
It is an awesome phone, i am hoping for aosp rom sooner than later.
Hi 11 Ultra followers,
has anyone already testet the new xiaomi.eu 13.0.12.0 (release date 2022-05-13)?
Is it better than the previous 13 versions?
Still issues or finally "golden"?
Thanks and best regards!
With all the deepest respect, but why is this still called "stable" version???
For me the 12.5.20 is rock stable. Yes im still there, i follow to see when to upgrade, but it seems to take long time, if ever.
so I can not find anything runs everything smoothly
I know there was many problems when Android 10 came out to this phone, but since then a lot of time passed, I guess there was some more updates to it. Is it worth upgrading the phone now? Is the latest 10 working just as fine, or better than the latest Pie?
Nothing wrong with Pie and security simply isn't a issue. It's the last good OS version before Gookill went insane, again.
I run two stock Samsung N10+'s, one on Android 9, the newer one on 10. The Pie variant runs best. There are over a hundred new system apps added to 10. It's a mess and 11 is even worse.
Don't feed the G Beast...
