for all german buyers - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

fyi:
just saw, you can order the mix3 now online at mediamarkt/saturn

Yea. But only the 6/128 one.. or how i’d Call it: the Harz4 version. Got my Palace Edition last week in Shenzhen, flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom and all is working great - even Google Pay. Still the only option for those preferring more ram.

How did you get GPay working? I thought if your bootloader is unlocked, Google Pay can't work?
Thanks in advance for your feedback

It works on unlocked bootloader but you need to make sure safety net passes

Can you check for me, whether you are able to save netflix and/or prime videos offline in that?
I had an unsolvable issue on my old phone with unlocked loader, so i was not able to use the offline functions of mentioned streaming apps

Bootloader unlock 2019

Hi
I'm getting a p20 today, really wish I had checked before I bought. I see a lot of services for paid bootloader unlock, but most are not working now. Is there any current ones that are still working as of today please?
Thanks

Never regretted any devices before, but this P20 i regret getting.
Though, it was a bargain...
The device is splendid and the hardware is great. But Huawei and their software is not. Sadly.
so yeah, return the device and get a Pixel 3 or OP6T. Or an Android One device.

Google pay or any other payments apps don't work with OnePlus 8!!!

There is a serious proplem at Oneplus 8 phone with Google pay and other apps payment.The card is registered and ready to use.When you hold the phone to the terminal it takes a number of seconds for the blue tick to appear by which time the terminal doesn't process the payment.
Is this Hardware or Software issue? Its humiliating when someone go to pay and the phone payment (NFC and apps payment) cannot be made and you don't have any other payment method (physical card or cash money) Pls help..

Is your phone rooted?..from what I understand Google Pay won't work if there is root.
Use Google Pay daily, with my T-Mo OP8
Honestly, I've found pay to be hit or miss depending on the phone and the card scanner. It works on my op8 pretty reliably even with root. You have to use magisk hide if rooted.
I tried to use Google Pay last week, and it wouldn't do anything. I thought maybe I hadn't finished enabling my card for Google Pay since getting the OP8. I checked today and discovered NFC was turned off. [emoji2357]

OnePlus 8T (Cyberpunk Edition) KB2000 Contactless Pay

Hi all. So I have just purchased this device through eBay from an Australian seller (I am in Australia). They advertised Chinese model KB2000 which will come flashed with global ROM Oxygen OS with Google Play etc. I knew what I was getting so this was good but I had already planned to flash Hydrogen with this XDA guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ogenos-google-apps-theme-ota-updates.4199011/) and get back the CP2077 goodies etc.
Phone arrived with Hydrogen installed but with Play store which has obviously saved me some ADB time and effort. I plan to run the remove bloat script above to get rid of the Chinese market and other apps I won't use.
I have been using the phone for 2 days and even though all Google services and apps etc are working no probs, I can't for the life of me work out why but Google Pay contactless payment will not work? I get try again error on vendor machines or insert card. Is this a common issue with the Chinese Hydrogen ROM or something to do with OnePlus user account. OnePlus pay is installed but I can't register as it asks for a phone number with +86 area code.
I have searched high and low for help with this and am hoping to resolve this issue as I use contactless pay quite a lot.
Cheers.
Which version of google pay are you using? The original Google pay or the newer one called GPay?

I know it 's not the case here, but I'm doing some research and I see u have KB2000 with HydrogenOS running.
Are u rooted? If yes, which level is your widevine at? L1 or L3?
Thanks bro, I'll appreciate the help.
Edit: btw, I have KB2000 also and GPay works fine. However, I'm on OxygenOS international ver.
I know there's some issues on other products like Chinese Mi Band NFC doesn't works on my country. Don't think it's the case though.

Not rooted, sorry.
I'm starting to think that the Chinese HOS ROM is what is causing the contactless pay to not work.

I tried out google pay at target and a fast food joint yesterday. No issues and was quicker than my Samsung. I'm on latest HOS.
Do did you remove any native HOS apps? Most of them are in chinese but I keep the wallet/payment apps

I had tried Google pay prior to removing any unwanted apps. Long story short I have flashed Oxygen OS with MSM tool and all Google services and apps work spot on for me now. Just no OTA updates which is not the end of the world as you can install updates from OP website with local file anyway.
I found the below link for Cyberpunk goodies which works a treat. The only thing not working for me now is 5G and VoLTE.

Question Honor Magic V Google PlayStore compatible

Google PlayStore compatible ?
Can be sideloaded the Google Playstore APK ? thanks
I'm asking because 2 different YouTuber reviewers reply with opposite answers:
Izami Gadget replies: Hi. Yes. Can install it with no problem. Same as another china phone that comes without GMS. can sideload the play store APK without a problem
Elsegood Michael replies: Not on the Chinese version no. You’ll have to wait to see if it’s released globally in the next couple of months
I'd like to know the same thing. Have ordered one from China. Should be with me by Tuesday (UK).

yeah. i hate this. its unbelievable how bad reviewers are these days.
from what I understand:
yes. you can side-load the Play Store. i've seen the Play Store installed on the phone.
unfortunately, you can download Gmail for example, but you cannot sign-into Gmail once you open the app.
thats why people are saying no Google Services.
thats how i understand it, hope it clears some things up for you.
also, you should look up all the ways to get Google Services on Huawei and Honor devices.
search "huawei honor google services".
people with these devices without Google Services shipped have been using a workaround for at least 2 years now.
some real capable people out there.

Question where did you purchase your Honor Magic V from? I am looking to purchase mine soon and looking for reputable buyer and faster shipping.
Have you tried these two versions below. I remember when I had my Mate X2 I had installed it using the below methods.
GMS Tutorial-
and Google Play Protect -
well that sucks.. I also saw one of the review videos where the lay store was installed but it would quit when you tried to open.. Its a deal braker since I need some work related apps. Will keep my oppo find n...
Yes I used the same on my mate x2. Using the above method you can install from the backup but when opening the G (lzplay.helper) it doesn't install gms just error.
I purchased mine from Trinity Electronics Hong Kong. I've used them a couple of times and they are very quick at replying and sending. Like any 3rd party seller there is a mark up on price. I don't mind paying a bit extra for peace of mind.
how are push notifications ?

Question [CHINESE ROM] OTA in Canada

Hi, Everyone
I am new to buy a xiaomi phone and use in Canada.
I plan to buy an either 12s Ultra or 13 Ultra from China, and likely it may come with Chinese ROM.
Canadian friends and users of Chinese ROM in Canada, will my phone receive OTA update in Canada?
I know there are tutorials to unlock bootloader and flash global rom. I am not familiar with it and won't do it as soon as I got my phone.
Please let me know
Thanks all
there is no global rom for this model, the solution is to use a Xiaomi Eu rom.
Also check coverage according to your carrier.

Yes you will get OTA in Canada. I am currently using the 12s Ultra and have been getting updates with no problem.
I am currently using the Chinese ROM and no problem at all. Google works fine except Android auto. There is no Global ROM officialy from Xiaomi.

I got my 13u on Thursday last week and have used it for few days.
It is a good device.
I can confirm VPN works. I tested NordVPN.
I didn't use banking app because it is better staying on my other phone. I have bought chinese phone in the past, GT NEO 2 and banking apps worked on it. So I am not concerned.
Also, I find installing google play store is very easy. Google play store exists in mi app store. Click and update is it takes to install play store.
I find widgets are way better than samsung andriod phone i have used in the past, much more varieties to explore.
Only point bothers me is phone shape.
Camera module on the back and a curve around the middle makes phone awkward to hold at first. Need some to adjust to it.
This is not a deal breaker for me.
Let me know you want to know anything else about it.
Thanks for the update, great to hear that you got it, and quickly too. How is 5g reception and are the cameras all they are made out to be ?...except obviously the selfie cam... not that i'm much of a selfier anyway. Did it come with a screen protector installed ? Have you noticed any adds ? Nobody on youtube has mentioned it but I heard xiaomi phones in the past suffered from that.

1. 5G: I am on a carrier doesn't offer 5g.
2. Camera: I am not proficient in photography knowledge. This comment comes from an average user. I like this camera. It is very snappy and responsive. Good to catch that quick moment. I took some photos of my black dog. It looks good. Dog at the center and background blurs makes it great. I am not a selfie guy either. Haven't tried selfie at all.
3. Screen protector: Yes it comes with a pre-install one. Also, it has a plastics case.
4. Ads: not so much ads surprisingly. There are ads in mi app store. When I install an app, bottom of screen will show suggested apps. They disappear in few seconds. Not a deal breaker to me for two reasons. Suggested apps don't stay long on the screen, and I mainly use play store.
I also want to mention bloatware apps. I am a bit surprised by this one. It comes with many pre-installed apps that are definitely not relevant or useful. However, I can uninstall them just like any regular apps. So far I have uninstalled almost all of them except pre-installed keyboards, and there are three of them. It is redundant.
I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have more questions. I am more happy to answer.
Thanks very much.
I've had the ultra 12s for 9 months. I've kept the Chinese ROM as I don't feel like doing all the changes for EU from. Updates and everything works great except for Android Auto which is mildly frustrating but not a deal breaker. 5G works great, I just find that QR codes don't always work for some strange reason. Besides that it's been a fantastic phone and the UI is pretty good. I am happy to hear about the Global version of 13s Ultra. Not sure if I'll upgrade, but overall he phone has been about perfect.
