Shrey, 01 Jan 2021What to do now? Class action lawsuit against google and xiaomi to account for the massive cost to owners who now have lost a functioning phone and have to incur cost to somehow have it fixed.

    Android is one big complicated mess. Wish there were normal easy working alternstives on the market like windows or linux for pc's.

      Shrey, 01 Jan 2021What to do now? Service centre and ask them to flash old version. Hope they don't charge money that would be a scandal.

            My A3 was bricked after Android 10 from Jan 2020. Xiaomi is a lame duck company. Don't buy from them.

              Anonymous, 01 Jan 2021Oh because calling iPhone and Samsung grabrage solves all. ... moreEverybody is a fan of something, as long as fanboyism comes with brains I am fine with it. Apple and Samsung lost my love long time ago as theirs offerss litte value for my money. Xiaomi still gives better value for your money when Samsung or Apple and that is worth to be a fan off as long as they will do that it will get my support together with other brands which will give good value for my money like Realme.

Al... moreI'm guessing you never used a Moto One, or that you only stuck to lower-tiered Nokias (their flagships can be amazing). Every manufacturer can have bugs or make a mistake. The thing is, with Android One EVERY SINGLE XIAOMI PHONE ever launched went through this BS when then do a major upgrade. Making matters worse, their brick count is getting a lot higher at every model! It's not a "sh*t happens" kind of thing, they are just THAT INCOMPETENT.

                          Xiaomi completely lost it this guy's only contributing to a F*k fragmentation of Android with a fantastic software mess, customers who want to upgrade to Android 11 to do a factory flash with a the desktop tool and the device to follow the Android 11 standards

                              Xiaomi is just as garbage, 90% because of MIUI.

                              Also... FYI Xiaomi recently announced to sells phones without a charger top, with same excuse like iPhone and Samsung.

                              And before you start about "but Xiaomi gives you the option to take or not a free charger", they do that only now to let people get used to the idea of paying same amount of money without a charger like before with one.

                              They use the same method Apple did when they removed the 3.5mm jack, you got a free dongle with it but with newer iPhones after that you did not.

                              Fanboying any company is beyond silly and sad, because every company out there doesn't give a damn F about their customers, no matter if Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and so on, they care about your money and nothing more, and being a fanboy of a brand (a lot of Xiaomi fans here) is beyond silly, no company reserves that.

                              NOT ONE OF THEM

                                      i started the update few hours ago while the Mi A3 connected to the charger and the wifi
                                      the mobile is locked on the android one screen for around 2-3 hours.

                                      any advice????
