There's a discussion for that
[DISCUSSION] ANDROID 11 UPDATE
I have decided update my device to ANDROID 11 (EU version). My first impression is that all work fine, and the UI is faster and smoother than android 10. If i will find some bugs i will report here. But my first impression is positive

Update from MIUI 12.0.8 Stable to 12.0.1?

Dear Mi 10T lite community,
I am new to Xiaomi, originally coming from a OnePlus phone.
This is a Mi 10T lite phone bought in Germany from a German carrier.
Even before installing my personal data and apps, I had updated to the latest global version 12.0.8.0 of the Xiaomi stock ROM.
Today I get the notification, that the second (first after real install) update is available and my phone wants up UPDATE from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1 !?!?
What kind of update is this. The version number is being reduced?
The patch level is said to increase from January 2021 to February 2021, which sounds okay.
The current ROM (12.0.8) is Android 10 based. The new ROM (12.0.1) claims to be "Stable MIUI based on Android 11". Is this the upgrade to Android 11? I thought the Update to Android 11 will be with MIUI 12.5 in summer!?
Would you advise to upgrade this stock ROM? -- For me this sounds strange. On OnePlus I have always relied on the ROM upgrades. What about this?
Thank you for any advise in advance!
Best regards
Ethan

If you notice that the update ROM has R instead of Q in the string *JSEUXM that denotes next update - R follows Q. The numbering is for Miui version 12 and the iteration .0.1 means it's the first one in this R cycle.
And it is android 11. Going to install it myself - if it's now out of beta and ota'ing

Hello Gazblade,
thank you very much. This is quite interesting. I had only looked at the "human readable" part of the version number, not at the "machine readable" part.
You are right. This is an update from QJSEUXM to RJSEUXM and thus it should be a new version. It is good to learn the "Xiaomi-style".
Nevertheless it should NOT mean, that their GUI, MIUI is downgraded to an earlier version from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1. This is intriguing.
Obviously the third digit of the MIUI version number has nothing to do with respect to the currentness of Xiaomi's GUI software. Right?
Also the text "based on Android 11" is at least misleading.
Nevertheless, based on your feedback, I will try the update later.
Have a great day!
Best regards
Ethan

Just a note for "Based on Android 11" - it is important because you can have MIUI 12 based on Android 9 or Android 10 or Android 11. Most of the features will be shared among different Android versions, with some exceptions (or freshly introduced underlaying Android bugs/design changes).

I am not sure whether I got the point. Xiaomi had offered "MIUI 12.0 based on Android 11" for my Android 10 phone and this upgrade MIUI 12.0 is still using (or based on) Android 10.
Android 11 will come with MIUI 12.5 Right?
Thus does this "based on" read "has been compiled with Android 11"? Or "Is running on Android 11 and older"?
I had planned to install the update tonight, but in the meantime the OTA update disappeared again and is no longer found by the Xiaomi updater! What a strange policy.
Has the "R" version been withdrawn and is back to beta status?
With my old OnePlus updates were pretty straight-forward. I do not understand the Xiaomi update policy until now...

MIUI is only skin (albeit quite heavy) on the top of Android. Xiaomi decided to offer the same MIUI version on top of more than one Android version. So our phone came with MIUI 12 + Android 10 and now it's being upgraded to MIUI 12 + Android 11. Next major upgrade will be MIUI 12.5 + Android 11. But it's possible that Xiaomi will offer also MIUI 12.5 + Android 10 for other (older) phone models..
It can be a bit confusing, but you don't need to stress too much about it.

The Update to 12.0.1.0 RJSEUXM is back and I have downloaded the OTA update already. Currently I am charging my phone before applying the update. -- Be safe. At least on the battery.
Did anybody already apply this update to Android 11?
There are so many rumors about problems with this update, but there are not many clear facts.
Would you recommend adopting to Android 11 already now or wait for MIUI 12.5?

I will put it this way. For every bigger Android update there are a bunch of people who hate it and they will make a lot of noise on forums. They don't like some design changes or cosmetic bugs. Most people are not bothered by them or they barely notice them. Of course that there is always a chance of serious bugs, but problematic updates are usually pulled down quickly and the information is often covered in articles (on XDA or similar pages). There is no known serious bug in this update and it's considered as a safe update. I am very sure that MIUI 12.5 update will be "the worst update in the history of all updates" for some people (like it was with MIUI 12 or MIUI 11; or Android 11 or Android 10 etc.)..
I updated one or two weeks ago and except already mentioned misaligned (but still functional) text in notifications I haven't noticed anything worth mentioning. I personally recommend the update, but as always, YMMV..

Thank you, _mysiak_!
I have just updated to 12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM. My Mi 10T lite is now running Android 11 absolutely flawlessly. Good recommendation! And probably a very correct explanation in your message above.

Could someone upload and share the MiQT Lite XQCN file (EEA or Global)? I need this file to test some things on my 9 Pro 5G.

did your miui optimization options got removed after the update cause mine did

Motorola has a simple update policy.
One OS upgrade and two years of security updates.
If a device originally shipped with 11 it will get 12. I don't expect to see 12 upgrades till mid 2022
edit:
you can watch the Moto update tracker, to see what updates your device (Capri) is currently getting.

Question Android 13 beta 3.3 question . Help appreciated

Wanting to possibly try out android 13 beta I've heard great things about it and it being stable . If I install it, how do I go from the beta to the official OTA. I would be installing the beta OTA but don't know how to install the official OTA when it comes out. Do I just opt out of the beta program then recieve the official OTA ? Thanks for any help

Once the 1st stable version of Android 13 is released (should be early August), there should be a window where you can opt out and then receive the stable version of Android 13 without having to wipe.

You don't have to do anything. BETA will end when the official comes out and you will get that OTA just like any other OTA.

Ok so I don't have to opt out of the beta?

I believe that is correct because there will be no Android 13 betas after that. I've read others who said their next OTA after the last Beta would take them to the final version. The next beta after that will probably be for the QPR1 and would have to be signed up for separately.
Edit: I meant to add that I am a little cautious, so I would probably choose to manually opt-out, anyway.

I've read that if you don't opt out of the beta after stable Android 13 is released that you'll start getting the QPR betas for Android 13, for what it's worth. Excerpt below...
Get Android 13 Beta on a Google Pixel device​
"Once enrolled, your device will receive regular over-the-air (OTA) updates for the duration of the platform’s release cycle—including Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs)—unless you opt out earlier.
During the Android Beta for Pixel program’s release cycle, there are four stable releases to the public (the official platform release followed by three Quarterly Platform Releases). When you apply a stable release update, you can opt out of future Beta updates without a data wipe for a limited time (until you apply the next beta update, if you choose to do so)."

Interesting. I did mean to add that I'm a little cautious, so I would probably choose to manually opt-out anyway.
I think the way they word it is funny. They say QPRs, but they don't say QPR Beta (although the next part does mention Beta). Like, if you're on Stable, of course you're going to get the QPR (when it goes Final).

So just run the beta and opt out before August so I know that I'll get the final release in August??

Yeah, the wording is a bit confusing. But since it was all in the section under "Get Android 13 Beta on a Google Pixel Device", I'm assuming they were talking about QPR betas.
They've also said the Android 13 beta program will end in June 2023, so that would suggest that the QPR betas would be included. June 2023 should be when the final stable version of QPR3 (Android 13) will be released so that's why the program would end then, like it did in June this year for the QPR betas for Android 12.

If you opt out before August then you'll be getting the stable version of Android 12 since the stable version of Android 13 would not have been released yet. I've seen reports of people having lots of problems when opting out of A13 beta and getting A12 stable. You would also have to wipe.
You should opt out during the window right after the 1st stable version of Android 13 is released, which should be in early August.

The only reason I would opt out of the a13 beta is to get the stable final release , not to go back to 12.. thanks sounds like I should opt out right after final is released , then I'll get the final OTA..

Here's another excerpt from their Beta FAQ section. To me it sounds like there will not be a separate QPR Beta program like there was for Android 12:
"Enrolled devices will receive continuous beta updates for the duration of the platform’s release cycle including Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs) ahead of the public release schedule, unless you choose to opt out sooner.
Android 13 beta program ends in June 2023 with the public release of the Android June QPR and Pixel Feature Drop"
There's also this:
"You can expect to receive up to two updates automatically per month for each program you’re enrolled in. Note: You will not receive separate monthly security updates while enrolled in the program as they will be part of the beta build"
Note: Of course, I could be interpreting this totally wrong
Android Beta Program
Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your Android device for beta releases.

Maybe I'll just wait till final OTA push in August it's not to far away to wait instead of messing with beta..

Question Android 12 updates / security

Hey all. Not sure how many people are using this phone regularly, but I'm curious what all of your experiences have been like with this phone. When's the last time you got a security update? Are you still running Android 11? I'm still on 11, no update ever arrived to me for 12, and I'm still on an Android security patch from May 2022. Thoughts?

Codeaurora Releases
New CodeLinaro OSS release detected! Chipset: lito Tag: LA.UM.9.12.c10-44100-SAIPAN.QSSI13.0 Manifests: Vendor Android: 11.00.00 Date: October 13, 2022

Yes same here. I believe TCL ROM to be based on CAF. I have not seen A12 for our board Lito. This one posted is the latest one I could find.

Same. No Android 12 (still on 11) and last security patch was from April for me.

I've been frustrated with my Android 11 experience on my T810S here in the USA and notifications that don't notify.... Anyways, I reached out to TCL with all of my info, asking about the promised Android 12 update. After asking me for yet more information I finally got a reply from them which said:
Your model is expected to receive Android 12 by June 2023 (it could be before, or later than that date) We appreciate your time and understanding, let us know if you have any other question.
So, I'm holding out hope that I finally will get the promised Android 12 update in the next few months.

In case people don't see the separate thread that I started on this subject, TCL rolled out the non-beta version of Android 12 to my T810S this past weekend. I received notification on Friday evening, and after cleaning up my phone, I installed it on Sunday.
So far, so good! Most importantly to me, notifications seem to finally be working on my phone for all applications. The UI changes for Android 12 are nice too.

So I just got my TCL 20 Pro 5G & I'm just wondering is there an Android 12 update for my device? When I go to update, it says it's up to date & still on Android 11.

I think that it might depend on your location and the model number of your TCL 20 Pro 5G. As I mentioned above, my T810S (TCL 20 Pro 5G) here in the USA finally received the Android 12 update last week.
