This is the link to download the update manually for Redmi Note 8 https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.2.0.QCOMIXM/miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.0.2.0.QCOMIXM_b58f9663d7_10.0.zip

At least all those who were saying it wasn't a bug on 11.0.11.0 that didn't make Redmi Note 8 update to MIUI 12, can see that a 12.0.2.0 was released so that those on 11.0.11.0 can update to MIUI 12. It has been proven that it wasn't server issues or any of those fancy words.

You didn't "prioritize" the fancy word? LOL.

Note 7 running on A10 miui 12 while the note 8 on A9 miui 11

Note 8 is now running on A10 and MIUI 12 though. The update is QCOMIXM 12.0.2 and everyone including those on the previously-stalled 11.0.11. You can download and install.

You must factory reset. Those set of phones have this issue. Xiaomi acknowledge it. First factory reset, it will not happen again.

I have made peace with it. In fact at this moment I'm just enjoying my device, MIUI 12 or no MIUI 12, RN8 is a very good phone.

Agreed.

There's bug issues for those on 11.0.11 on RN8 so you can't update yet. Chill for now... Till when is what we don't know.

Everything you're saying seems nice, just point me to someone on the MIUI 11.0.11.0 who has received the Stable update. So how would you explain people on 11.0.10.0 receiving the MIUI 12 before the former? I am sure most of the RN8 users here are on 11.0.11.0, if this wasn't the case, there should be a sizeable number of RN8 users who would have said they got the Stable update, just like most of us did when the Beta Stable was released.

LOL. You're correct and even the developers have admitted to working on the bug on priority basis. People on 11.0.11 couldn't get the update because of a bug and it has been reported. Let's hope they work on it soon and not start posting us again.

I don't use floating windows, so...

I dunno!

Emui has an excellent sidebar/floating windows which I now miss. Maybe I'll do some research to see what approximation of it I can find

I like EMUI for that, and it's silky smooth too.

Abeg help me find oooo

If any feature is not present it will be due to performance issues. That's why the MiUI 12 and A10 for device has been in testing since June. If they couldn't get as feature to work as intended it's best they get rid of it than it having a negative performance impact.

For instance only certain models with AMOLED displays got Super Wallpapers. There's a reason for everything. At least they rolled out A10 for the RN8 as well.

If there's any way to get the features working right, it'll be present in subsequent update.

I get it. It's just weird that almost half of what makes the MIUI 12 a "new" UI is somewhat, and somehow missing on that of RN8. Man has resolved to unlocking bootloader... We move.

Oga face front, you said 9s, the miui 12 on rn8 doesn't have some features yours have

LOL. I knew about the lack of some features from the CN update. In the next two weeks, global rollout will be out sha so we move. I don't know why they removed some features though.

Guyy rest....I have been seeing all ur posts...All u do is condemn people that have issues with their devices...Is there anything wrong with lodging complaints??why are u always attacking people??It is really not nice .. People wanted the updates because of these features,, now the features are gone,,he suddenly has lost d right to complain??what has he said that is wrong??

It's even becoming tiring seeing people attack for complaining about something. The core of the update is the features. Of what use will the updates be if the features ain't there? No OEM is perfect with their releases but once you point out Xiaomi's errors/problems here, your head to the guillotine (by some folks!)

I had to test my friend's RN8 on MIUI 12/Android 10 and searched for the navigation thingy and it's still not there. It's a native android 10 feature not even a MIUI thingy. The floating windows? He has moved on.. LOL.

Pill is not part of the MIUI operation. Hold any Xiaomi phone that came with Android 10. Not every stock android feature you expect to find on MIUI. That is why it is a custom Skin.

As for floating window it is their decision to make and a lot of thoughts might have gone into it.

There is no point packing in features that will drop a phones performance.

Okay. I probably raised the bar too high. I was actually thinking the navigation bar thingy was an Android 10 feature but still shocked it's absent. I'll stick to your reason for the floating windows though but then...

Anyone wanna talk about why Xiaomi removed Android 10 navigation bar/pill and floating windows (from recent page) on MIUI 12/Android 10 update for Redmi Note 8? The whole thing still feels like Android 9 sef. Omoh, RN8/8T na bad business sha. E be things.

All ye MIUI 12 searchers, it's coming your way soon. China stable is live now.

China versions of Redmi note 7 received MIUI 12 around July/August and other versions are still on MIUI 11. "Soon" could be anytime from November.

Fact is that i took my RN8 to Raya service centre and was told to pay 62k that the screen and panel are bad,the que now is ,is it advisable to pay that amount or just add it 13k and buy a new one for 75k or look for a good phone engineer in abuja that can fix the phone's screen and panel for less than that 62k?

How much is a new RN8 sef? What exactly is wrong with the phone?

LOL. Hopefully Xiaomi doesn't disappoint me but if the A10/MIUI 12 doesn't come before the start of next month, then that'd be some f****d up shit.

Lol sorry to hurt your feelings but it's not android 10
I also got the update yesterday
If you check your phone's about section you'll find that it's android 9 (pie)
More so the name or whatever of a Xiaomi android 10 update would start with 'q'(Miui 11.0.1.0.QCNMIXM) It'll look something like this

Moreso android 10 update is around 700 to 800 mb

It's just a system stability update and if they released an miui 11 update it really made me doubt if we're getting MIUI 12 because why improve on the old one when we're expecting a newer version?..

LOL. You're correct with everything else but you'd definitely get Android 10 and MIUI 12 but not just very soon. Maybe even towards the end of the year (Say November December...)

The Samsung is an Android one device so it's actually supposed to get the update before the note 8

It's not. It's running One UI.

Check the wait time and get back to me. I'm referring to fast updates.


Samsung A30s was released August/September last year and got Android 10 update around April.

Redmi note 8 was released August/September last year and is yet to get Android 10 update. Samsung A20 and co is also running on Android 10.

I'm not saying there's a craze or something about the whole MIUI 12 or Android 10 thingy but then I'm reiterating that when people complain about lack of "expected updates," it's normal.

For Samsungs, get their flagship devices if not you'll still feel neglected. Xiaomi does well in the budget segment in terms of updates than Samsung.


You say? Most Samsung A series that shipped with Android 9 already got Android 10. Some got as far back as April. Google pixels and Samsung if quick update is the deal.

I think they are sure if they keep giving Redmi 8 series updates.. people won't by 9 series..

is 8 series better? that's the only logical reason for its abandonment

I can't say for sure what's causing the abandonment eh... Some people will say it's SD 665 processor while some will say the delay is 'cause they're bundling both MIUI 12 and A10 together at the same time. What I can only say is the outcry by users is totally normal and shouldn't be downplayed for any reason.

Mi CC9E nko? That device is 3 months older than RN8.

Sure. That of Mi CC9E is there too. Just that there are more Redmi note 8 users than Mi CC9E so the voices of the former is louder.

It is not abandoned. Like I have said before they seem to be have troubles with phones transiting to Android 10 with that Chipset (SD 665), they had with Mi A3 which ran on Android one, now all phones running MIUI using that Chipset haven't gotten android 10, Mi CC9e(China exclusive), RN8 and RN8T

This issue is Xiaomi exclusive? Cos it looks like other OEMs don't have issues with android updates on SD 665. I'm not sure they're fixing that of RN8/8T soon sha. We'll have to chill until end of the year before any "meaningful" update shows.
