firmware updates? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hey everyone,
does Xiaomi push firmware updates in it's ROMs or only software updates? My bluetooth radio is quite weak, and I'm wondering if flashing official Chinese MIUI once will update some components in the phone, and then I'll go flash Lineage or something. Thanks for your input!

It's possible that they could, but nobody can say in advance.

They are now testing the android 7 update of the chinese ROM. My best guess that if they will do it, they will add it to this update with it's final release. According to their official forum you are looking to a small month of waiting. Please report back if it helped, because you did make me curious.

upgrade it might not cause a trouble to your device as many are saying mainly US users that the phone is now more smooth and giving better SOT but as an indian user i didn't feel this change rather a deproving one so it depends on u and if u don't want to update then wait for the 5.1 1 release which is on 15-17
wow great. i think i'll wait for 5.1.1 instead flashing the 2.19 version. yeayyyy we will get new lollipop update! but where did you get this information?

I haven't seen any issues with 2.19.40.13. So I'm wondering where these bug stories are coming from.

Huawei GR5 / Honor 6X stable Nougat update released

A two-month delay for an expected updated is par for the course when it comes to receiving major updates from Google. Keeping true to fashion, the Android 7.0 Nougat update for Huawei’s Honor 6X was supposed to happen last March, but is now only rolling out this month to those in the US. Along with the usual goodies that come with the update, smartphone owners will also be getting the EMUI 5.0 so a visual interface overhaul will also be happening.
By this time we’re already familiar with what you get when you upgrade to Nougat: better battery management, improved multi-tasking features, replying through notifications, 72 new emojis, among other things. But since the update also brings EMUI 5.0, you also get a few other things that only Huawei/Honor devices get. The major ones include bringing a simpler interface with a blue and white color scheme, three-step operation 90% of the time, and a smoother system that will make it easier for you to switch between tasks.
The update also brings a more secure system specifically when it comes to user privacy, mobile payment and communication, and app usage. The task manager has also been remodeled, bringing bigger task cards that can be swiped and pinned. You can also now have two user account profiles within one app. Plus you have an app drawer option to centralize all desktop apps.
The update will roll out to all Honor 6X users starting now. But it will also be gradual and is expected to be completed by the middle of May.

I read from a lot of reviews that people are facing problems in the Nougat ROM which they downloaded from Firmware Finder or something. I can't risk my phone with that as it's a Beta release. I clearly made up my mind and was waiting for the official update ever since. By the way, I am from India and I just bought my Honor 6x like 2 weeks back. Do you have any idea about when will they be sending the update in my country? Would appreciate if anyone could provide genuine information regarding this! Thanks!
Wajira , Did you get Stable Nougat or not ?? I'm also from Sri Lanka and impatiently waiting for a nought update.
I am also waiting for the nougat. I signed up for the beta tester release but am yet to hear from them. An email to the Huawei team advised that since I am not from Vietnam, no beta release for me.

[Q] mix 2 updates

Hello.
Does someone know why xiaomi mi mix 2 doesn't have support from the manufacturer ? The last update is from 01.08.2018 ,this is not an old phone,it's a flagship.Does someone know the real reason?Anybody have any news about pie ?
That's the reason I decided to go for a custom ROM. I had a Huawei P8 before mix2 and their support was a piece of s..t too. The worst about that was that there was almost no custom rom development become of Kirin.. I am glad I have SD device now because I can make decisions I couldn't before. If you want to be up to date with security updates, use a custom ROM. They are built by developers that do care about your device ?
A Miui 10.2 update is currently in the making. The China ROM already received this update like a week ago. Global Stable update should be coming soon.

Do you receive any other updates?

Hi everybody, I updated my phone with the first update Xiaomi released for it and luckily it didn´t get bricked, but it still had some bugs. Today I want to know if you have received any other update with bug fixing for Android Q users.
No
Nothing here either
Nope... That was my last xiaomi, i was a fan of xiaomi but thats rediculous. shame on them

Question LE2123 ota A13 update

Hi
I know that we can manually download the stable A13 update and upgrade our phones
I understand that OnePlus are rolling out the OTA to those which took part in the open beta having priority
My question is, is it preferred to wait for the OTA and if so, will that OTA be a different version of the ones that can be downloaded?
What are you talking about?
You have the option to install the latest stable A13 versions.
Why wondering about OTA etc?
Thanks for your reply
Thinking back on the message, I was clearly overthinking it!
I'm on the latest A12 .c66 so from what I've read, it should be fine to upgrade to A13.
I was just wondering if there had been others waiting for the OTA to appear
I'll download and upgrade shortly
