Before I buy a note 10 pro - Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers

I went to the store and discovered I like the note 10 pro quite a lot. The price is nice and I definitely like its photography qualites though the similarly (reduced) priced P30 Pro has more photo features. But the P30 Pro is a dead end, thank you Citizen Trump. One thing I noticed, and maybe I missed it, but it's a deal breaker for me. I didn't see a way to have more than 1 language installed. On every other android phone I've used, I've been able to set up multiple languages and toggle between them directly from the keyboard (I use gboard). Is that the case, then, that Xiaomi only lets you pick one language? Which means I'd have to go back into the phone settings every time I want to switch languages for messages. Or is there a way to make this work?

I tested this out for you. With my Mi Note 10, I can easily select different languages with Google gboard, see pic.

Thanks for testing that out. Unfortunately, the image is too small for me to see. And as the phone I was examining is a display model, I can't add gboard to it. If I understand you, gboard has the facility to add the second language even though it can't be done it via the phone's settings menu. I am curious, did you try to add a second language through the main settings menu?

I use gboard and could easily switch languages.
I only speak English so I haven't tried different languages in the phone settings, but this is a global phone so all the major languages will surely be included in the settings.
I guess there's no need to frequently change the language of system settings, most people will stick to their favourite language in the system and change their keyboard language depending who they are talking to. If you used gboard to do this before, you still can do this with a Mi Note 10.
If have another question, or I've missunderstood what you're asking, just let me know what you want me to try.
Those pictures clearer...

Once again, I thank you. I went into gboard on my soon to be a paperweight S4 to try it and adding languages worked exactly as you said. I never knew it could do that. Cool.

Looking nice, but no English, no deal. Just someone speaking chinese can use this app. I mean, yeah, you can test every button, but for good use, there has to be minimum English.

Strange, changed for me. Might need phone set to English for it to work.

Ugh, look at those permissions. Read text messages, view running apps, record audio, control camera, create shortcuts, full network access. No thank you.
For me after downloading from Playstore it was still Chinese. And yes, those permissions look awful.
I like this :good:

This seems to much for a gallery app.
try download from your dropbox, its on english and looks great on me, and with editing system on album even its to much for gallery, but thanks to share mate

They set primary language to chinise, every app they release. Apps have english but you must set your phone language to english. They must change the app default language to english but I don't think they will.

Emoji Key

Hi all
Got my Note 20 Ultra this morning, come back to Samsung after moving to Huawei a few years ago.
Something really bugging me is no emoji key on the samsung keyboard ?
Am I missing something or is how it is now ?
While messing with keyboard settings the other day I saw an option to turn on bitmoji stuff giphy stuff and possibly Emoji I don't remember where but it's in settings somewhere under language and input

If the toolbar is missing, go into the keyboard settings and turn it on.

Samsung keyboard hasn't had this for a few years.
If you turn the toolbar off, to get emojis, you hold down the comma key and choose the emoji icon froma list of icons.

Hang on, I just found how to do it for you :silly:
I use GBoard so I didn't know...but I've just found it while going through it. It's all tucked away. You turn off the toolbar in keyboard settings. Then long press the comma, and choose the emoji icon. This sets that left key as the emoji key. It just means that to get a comma, you need to long press theperiod key.

12.1.1.0: Android auto not working, turn off chat bubbles

On new update 12.1.1.0: Android Auto is not working. Just a black screen. I tried re-installing the app. Android Auto was previously working for me (but would never launch apps like Spotify and TuneIn radio, had to start on my phone screen)
How to turn off the chat bubbles? I am using Textra SMS app.

I have the same issues with Android Auto. Tried everything I can think of including playing with permissions, Usb debugging and even hard resetting the phone post update to 12.1.1...however nothing works. I hope Xiaomi will push an update otherwise might have to get another phone.
Ah, I started a new thread on another subforum, I should have followed up with this one, do any of you get this strange popup too?

No I'm not getting that popup. First time using AA too it asks if I wanted to use this USB device for AA, I press yes, but still doesn't work.
Decided to sell the 10 Ultra and get a Fold 2 instead. Lesson learned.

Right? I'm probably selling for OnePlus 9 pro. It especially sucks that no native Chinese/Global phones get good 4G or 5G in USA due to no support for band carrier aggregation.

Works for chinese version, not sure about other models but you can try. All that still works. Google services, call recording, disable app through adb, etc. Only issue I discovered is music stutters if you don't switch sound effects to Kirin or another effect. How to = Just change region to china in app gallery, then apply and download beta through my Huawei app (You'll see available devices, just choose yours) then go to settings and software update. It'll now show up for download......
Updated mine yesterday and can notice (too early) an increase in battery life by 10-15%. Also I like the UI much better than Android 11. All google apps are working without any issues. I have the Chinese model.
Got Harmony 2.0.0.165 on my phone waiting for update. Will Gmail and other apps work? How to disable upgrade?

Post this update every product from Google works fine without any issues. If you want to disable the update change the setting to disable overnight install
I'm assuming Ascending ringtone is still not able to be disabled as I have not found it. I hate the feature and wish they would put the option back to turn it off and it rings at full and not this BS as I have missed many calls due to this.

Thanks.
All my Google apps, WhatsApp and text messaging work just fine. Notification has changed - swipe down to see them.
I really think the snappy feel of my mate 20x is lost after harmony os 2.0... the top right corner of the phone is also heating up a bit.. its been around 8 hours since the update. What do you guys think? Will it improve?
Anyway to get harmony os on global mate 20x evr l29

Question xiaomi 13 8/256Gb

First impression.
Very friendly in size, screen, handling.
MIUI 14 Android 13.0.9 update. Interesting in many ways, but more difficult to discover the properties in the setup than MIUI 13.
Apparently the same problems in the older MIUI configuration. (Difficult to change the MIUI system launcher or cancel the apk download from unauthorized sources, for example)
Chinese apks almost all uninstallable.
Google play pre-installed, Chrome installable, Maps, Google One.
Fast wireless charging
A very good phone, a bit expensive, but much better than the xiaomi 12.
Unlock in 7 days.

An FHD+ screen on a device of this price is a bit of an overkill.
12 pro WQHD+, LTPO (Low Temperature PolySilicon oxide).
Hi, forgot to ask, what is the current version on your Xiaomi 13 now?

Oh, I see. Thanks.
I had the Xiaomi 12 and found that to be an excellent device with very few flaws in my eyes. The only thing I missed was a flat screen. Purchased my Xiaomi 13 12gb 256gb storage from china. Only issue I have found so far was that it has taken a bit of setting up to get the majority of google services on there and working. So far the only thing that does not work is google assistant via voice recognition.
