M10, 04 Oct 2019What would be a great replacement for this device? Im alrea... moreMi A1 was released in September 2017. It's just mid October 2019. Precisely it's just 2 years and 15 days old.
But you claim to be using it from 2.5 years. How is it possible?
Anyway it's a great phone and can go on for at least a year more without any issues. Till then it will be time for 5G compliant phones. I would suggest to buy any new Android One phone ( Nokia would be reliable) in 2020.
Till then have great time with mi A1.
Till this day I have had no problems with it.

Everybody who has problem with gps try this.
Kick your phone upper backside where is gps antena. I ve found this advice on some forum and it really works. It seams it's a hardware problem. I was long time looking for solution.Tried everything. Even install custom rom and nothing helped.For info I'm on pixel rom. And what really matters my phone was never dropped. It could be a bad contact on housing.
Please somebody confirm or I m wrong.

MiA1 has very snappy GPS back in 2017 when i first bought it, the issue begin after November 2017 update & get worsening after Oreo update on 31st December 2017, since then the issue never able to resolve till date, certain month update improves it slightly & then it get totally useless, that's why i suspect it's due to the firmware update.

GPS connection has been a consistent issue with
Mi A1 for the last 1½ years. And most of us were blaming the updates that were received during the course of two years period, but to me it looks like a hardware issue on this device.
Will someone enlighten us about GPS situation on subsequent Xiaomi devices.....

Off screen/ fingerprint seems to keep screen awake and if we touch screen, screen turns on.
