dude, can you please provide the exact answer from the xiaomi represantative? because there is nowhere on the internet the information you just said and spreading false information is not ok.
Unlocking a xiaomi bootloader has a duration between 72h and 360h but that min of 72h is never achieved....

Do you guys think they will release up to date and complete kernel sources within a very short period of time of release of the Mi Mix 3 ?
My new mi mix2s has 720hr waiting time, so likely to be the same
Wonder what it's going to be, 720hr would be a real killer. 72hr would be ok
Anyone has more information?
The time limit is to stop resellers taking the Chinese variant and putting global ROM then selling it as the global variant without the proper bands. Not sure why it's so long though a bit of a joke.

So, what happens if you just buy a Global Version from Amazon ? Shouldn't you be able to get Xiaomi to drop the waiting time a bit ?

I believe it's changed now you have to join GitHub channel and you get instant unlock, unless that's just for old photos. I was helping someone get rid of vendor ROM which he'd had for 18 months, no updates, he unlocked instantly.

If there's one thing I can say about this phone, it's easily that it has the best cell reception of any recent device bar none. Seriously, I'm a good 10+dBm stronger than my prior devices: Pixel XL, Axon 7, and more..

For sure. The only thing really bugging me right now is Huawei's lockscreen. I don't have lock screen controls for any of my music apps and actionable notifications are super finicky. I'd be super happy with it if those things were addressed.

Could you let me know the full build number of the firmware on the phone?
From settings -> about phone
For example, maybe it's MHA-L29CXXXBXXX
I was on vacation in America a week ago with a T-Mobile SIM, with the Mate 9 branded to Asia C636 and Europe C432, but neither did VoLTE, so I guess it's a unique feature of the American firmware.
If you're interested in helping to bring the American model's firmware to other people and helping out the community, please get in touch with me by PM, as there are many tests I want to run with your model.

That's a relief. If they've acknowledged it then it's on their radar. I just noticed Pandora's controls showed up but disappeared so I guess it's a bug.
Haven't seen this mentioned here. It's been confirmed on Twitter that the Nokia 8 will get ARCore support and face unlock.
No ETA yet, but it's really cool to see the continued support for Nokia OG flagship :good:

I don't really think they did. They did, however, promise to look into it at some unspecified time while making clear it's not a top priority: Twitter thread. It's probably even less of a priority for them now.
I'm not worried about ARCore and face unlock :cyclops:
lol, ARCore on this phone won't have any devs. You know why?
Because the majority of devs ditched this phone because of no official bootloader unlock.
Ironic, isn't it.

Phone has been out for 10 months, receives regular updates on time so who cares about unlocked bootloader..? And if it's so important to you why did you even buy it without making sure it can be unlocked at first. Typical XDA whine...

Has also got me out of the continuous wipe, flash and setup routine. Liberating. Just hope Nokia at least decide to support development when they stop.

Firstly, How long do you thing you'll recieve regular updates? HMD almost have started abandoning their first flagship.
Secondly, when the phone was released, who knew that hmd will not be providing support for unlocking bootloader. Everyone bought it with a hope and love for Nokia brand
But the face unlock is already in the security settings. Just active the trust factor for Google Smart Lock and you've got the last option on Smart Lock list which is face unlock.

I have personally seen @franciscofranco work for N5 and excited to see his magic on poco as well.
It's impressive list with great devs so i think poco is gonna fly very high
It seems very weird, the selected developers are all from India and far from being famous (or at least not as much as others on the list).
Still a great news
Not weird at all. Poco was launched in and is primarily targeted to India. Most owners are probably Indians.

The reason for majority of Indian Dev are because the r the one who have been supporting Xiaomi devices from the past few years and looking at their past history with the Xiaomi device, they have been selected

I think all of them who are in that list will receive the device and not only the 3 whose name are last. That's just selected by community members apart form above list which was suggested by XDA team.

I'm very sorry, I read too fast. My bad.
Are the current ROM's we have blind-builds or what? The instructions are generic, and they all just boot loop for me (and I know what I'm doing).
But it seems to work for others.
So what's the problem? Maybe they're built against the MIUI 9 blobs or something, but I CBF downloading and flashing another 2GB firmware just yet....
Maybe my phone knows I actually like MIUI more and is just refusing to work out of spite lol
Off to a pretty bad start, though.

@MishaalRahman seeing that @Arnova8G2 is back in action, are you still gonna hook him up with a device as you said in the portal comments?
One of the first things I installed on my Magisk-rooted OP7 is a program to kick greedy users off the wifi temporarily (Pixel Netcut), but it threw me into a boot loop.
On the next round, I installed Arcai Netcut. It works, but the $12 per year seems a bit steep, I don't expect to use it that often, only when sharing space with someone who's being a pig. A nice feature is that you don't have to kick them out, you can reduce their speed to, say, 30%.
Would some of you know of other apps that serve that purpose and are stable on Magisk-rooted OP7?
Thanks!!!!

Ha, I never said that I personally bought that phone… Otherwise, I could see your point!
And value-wise, I do spend $12 a year for Reverso, but I use that every day… When I contrast that to a program I might use a couple times a year, it seems steep (for my needs).

Had your problem a while ago, but in my research dsploit never worked correctly. You may try but the only working solution was netcut, because after a certain Android version every other app became obsolete.

Can any one clarify this. How does the display quality compare to "Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G "
