During call, screen wakes accidentally and speaker icon gets pressed to turn ON the speaker. Quite annoying while talking on phone in office area.

Anybody else observed this behavior with Mi A1?

Otherwise a great phone to have. I bought mine in
January this year and till now havent faced any problem other than this Speaker turning ON accidentally during call.

nikofficial, 07 Sep 2018I too am facing huge/excessive battery drain issue after th... moreI used to face this issue too. it's due to a kernel wakelock and you can fix it by executing some commands after you root your phone. But without rooting your phone, as a workaround, you can fix it by connecting an OTG adapter to your phone. Connect just the OTG adapter without the pendrive.

The reason for the drain is due to 70000.ssusb which is a kernel wakelock which does not let your phone go to deep sleep and drains your battery. The above workaround stops this wakelock and will put your phone to deep sleep while not in use.

This phone is a beast. I just had it for a few weeks and I love it. Not the best phone, but still great. No problems with Android 8.1 Oreo. I hope it gets Pie soon!

I too am facing huge/excessive battery drain issue after the august patch, the battery is draining about 20% overnight with data service, wifi and GPS turned off; i am hardly getting about 3.5 to 4 hrs of SOT after a full charge with just moderate usage. The battery never behaved this much strangely ever before. The august patch has ruined my smartphone experience as now i have to worry more about the battery drain rather than missing notifications. ANDROID ONE PROGRAM FOR THIS PHONE IS PROBABLY IN WRONG HANDS!!!
