Kinda crap that they increased the price, but at the same time you can't find them anywhere otherwise!
Grab them before they are gone!
Anyone tried if it works?
Hopefully this will mean that more services start to provide them again, which means a decrease in price
FunkyHuawei is a scam website. Don't risk your wallet for a bootloader unlock.
They figured it out an algorithm (maybe), but their price is so high. I recommend buying an Octopus Dongle, for 90 bucks. I am waiting mine to come.

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.
I've read that Huawei have officially stopped this service. I looked for a workaround but I could not find one. I thought I'd ask you fine fellows. Is it possible, or should I move on?

yes you need unlocked bootloader to root, and the only way now is with dc unlocker.
Or use the one of Xepeleato from there :

It work for honor 8 too, if website is down you need to tell to Xepeleato.

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.

Previously MIX2 has been unlocked, it takes 72 hours, now the binding device can solve BL
To answer a few questions. I have in my possession a mi mix 3. It takes 720 hours to unlock the bootloader. So in 30 days from today I should be able to unlock the bootloader.
If anyone has questions please ask. At the moment I am on TMobile and volte does not work... Maybe when we get global firmware it will work. I will try to put a Verizon Sim in later today and see if it works.

I had a mi mix 1 and was instantly able to unlock, got a mi mix 2 and it was a 3 day wait so 72 hours. Mi mix 3 is a 720 hour wait, so 30 days. The unlock application knows what phone you have and determines the amount of time to unlock.

Yo buddy, can you download an app called 'drm info' from the Google play store and send a screen shot here?
I want to know the widevine security level.
Until now, no xiaomi phone has security L1, only L3, meaning the device can't play HD content on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Google Movies etc..
Those are all encrypted to protect from piracy or whatever. I would appreciate your help

We need developers who are willing to spend a lot of time and resources on this phone. The development for this phone has been marginal and things are unlikely to change much.
The newer Mate 20 running Android 9 has to this day still not been rootable .... everything pointing to one single thing: if you buy a Huawei phone you get stuck to Emui and unrootable phone. I myself plan to stay on 8.1 forever unless root and twrp become available.
Got OTA today. The problems with sound distortion that I had when streaming using LDAC and HWA at the highest bitrate are gone. They added the gesture navigation from Mate 20 Pro but this still need work as it's not smooth enough.

I don't think there is a way to check per say, but you should see big differences in how it processes images. For instance Blue Sky or Greenery will not be over the top like in P20 Pro. The Mate 20's version of Master AI is much improved over the P20 series.
I hope this version would help fix some historical problems, especially the one with smart unlock stop working that really piss me off.
Said this, I hope at the time Huawei will release the OTA it will be stable enough to don't let me regret Oreo.
Just for fun, in Italy sometimes major updates appeared before on branded models, I think this is merely due to the attempt to please the operators.

Was thinking exactly the same, this disappearing Smart Lock issue is very annoying.
Is there anyone here running on beta that can confirm it was resolved?
