The company acknowledged some of the issues raised and even offered a solution to the significant hanging of dialer app. It asked users to either uninstall MyJio app or disable ‘Telephone’ permission for the mentioned app. Concerning the effect of MyJio app on the Mi A1 dialer after updating to Android Oreo, a Mi Community admin  said

We just dropped an Android Oreo update for Mi A1 a few days back. We stumbled upon an issue where users are not able to call and dialer app is getting hanged or there’s an unusual delay in making the call. Upon researching we found that MyJio application is causing ANR when a call is being made or received and hence the issue. The issue is seen when MyJio app is being present with all app permissions granted.

For now, Xiaomi has suspended the further release of this update while it tries to fix the issues. However, it hopes to re-release this update in a few weeks. Meanwhile, all the issues raised have been addressed in the ongoing Android Oreo-based Beta program for Mi A1.
