i was on mix 2s - 2 days
mi 9t pro - 2 days
and now poco f2 pro - 7 days

I had to wait TWO weeks completely random it seems

168h

I bought the Zoom Edition from China and it was unlocked right away

OMFG just received a F2.... 336 hours
this is pathetic

Mine is 7 days
I would even pay Xiaomi to unlock it straight away if that was an option, I'm sure they have their reasons, but surely this is just plainly ridiculous?!
After a user pays for the product, why not allow them to just unlock the bootloader straight away? Does not make any sense to me at all

Help regarding unlocking bootloader

Hello i have an indian version of Xiomi Redmi Note 6 Pro.
I waited the famous 720 hours (1 month) and when i tried a few times in the past the message was about how many hours were left (720, 584, 356, etc), a sort of countdown. Well, now the 720 hours are passed but i can't unlock the BL and the message is different and in chinese language: 手机使用未达到指定时间,无法解锁 that in english sound more or less like <The phone has not been used for the specified time and cannot be unlocked> What it means?? Why now, although 720 hours have passed, I can't unlock the bootloader?? Thank you for the help
Any solution to this I am experiencing the same

Would you buy the ZenFone 6 in 2020 over the upcoming Pixel 4a?

I am waiting for the Pixel 4a but the ZenFone 6 has been tempting me with its battery, cpu and the camera setup. The only thing that the pixel will have over the 6 is the software updates.
If you were in my situation, which phone would you pick and why?
I bought a used ZF6 just a couple of days ago. Honestly? Who care about official OTA, this phone seems to be already weel mantained in terms of modding and ZenUI is really stock looking. In other words when Asus will be dropping the support (after Android 11 presumibly) you'll just have to unlock and flash a ROM and you'll probably get a couple of years more. Moreover you won't loose advantage of having one very good main camera as your selfie one as well (and it gets even better with GCam), a monster battery and a good HW.

pixel 4a. i currently own a zenfone 6 on t-mobile and have been having problems with voice calls and text messaging. sometimes calls from other people will go straignt to voicemail without the phone ever ringing or logging it as a missed call. i've missed several important calls because of this. text messages would sometimes come in minutes and even hours after the sender sent it to me. others have also experienced this on t-mobile and we're not sure if it's a t-mobile issue or asus issue. other than some other minor issues (apps freezing etc...) the phone has actually been pretty good. but in any case for me, a phone that can't do what it's fundamentally supposed to do is no good so i'm staying away from asus at least for now. my next phone will probably be a pixel.

Bootloader Unlock Time Tally

Hello everyone. I just got my poco x3 recently. I tried to unlock it multiple times, but it kept failing. I know about the 7 day waiting time policy. But I have heard about a lucky few who got theirs unlocked instantly. In general, I guess I just want a general idea of how long it takes to unlock the bootloader on average. So, feel free to put the time it took to unlock the bootloader on your poco x3 down in the thread. Also, this is my first post on this forum as well as my poco x3 being my first miui phone. I would like to thank yall for being so welcoming to me and everyone else!
It took me five days to receive the unlockability notification from Xiaomi. Some people have gotten it after 10 days, others in 3 days... It's completely up to Xiaomi.
I think it's better if you wait, trying to rush things usually ends up in disaster. Is it that urgent? Is it worth risking bricking your phone by following some shady tutorial?
168 hours. And this is the standard waiting time. I've read about faster ways but they all seem shady and risky. Trying them may extend waiting time significantly. Just do it the normal safe way. 1 week is not that long is it.

Question My Poco x3 pro has died...

My Poco x3 pro has died... I was watching TikTok and has been caught, passed the black screen and reboot the screen goes blank after the logo of Poco, I can not reinstall the system or anything, it stays the same, osea lets me reinstall the system from fastboot but I can do nothing to reboot.
I add that it is version 6/128 European.

but the warranty might be over, considering it might be bought before july 2021? then will it be prohibitively expensive to the OP?

Is the device irreparable without changing the motherboard?

Look for a technical service in microsoldering even if it is not "authorized" as long as it has a good reputation and knowledge to do a rework to the SoC and revive your Poco X3 Pro, you can search the YT "Poco X3 Pro dead Solution" and a idea of what to do to the equipment, it should be emphasized that it is physical damage, not software

No it can be repaire , I repaired my poco x3 pro 2 times from a local mobile repair shop but it died again next day of repaire so repairing isn't a permanent solution

In part you are right but on the other hand you are not. I ask were you present when they "repaired" your PX3P? did you see that they raised 3 integrated circuits ram+CPU+UFS? if he left his cell phone and he was not present, maybe they only lifted 1 or 2 of the 3 components or in worse case they only did "Reflow" that's why his Poco failed again

I don't know what they did inside but one thing i saw that they opened several part of mother board they were also aware of this problem i contacted many repaire shop also the person who's working in mi service centre he said that it is not parmanent solution sometimes repaired x3 pro can work atleast 4 to 5 months or less but it will brick again for sure because when it brick it fails multiple part of phone sometime it's cpu , ram or ufs storage itself

that is probally chip reflowing, which is useful for data rescue but will not work long. the chip is not replaced and is bad so a more expensive chip replacing should be worth it.

The "Rework" job when it is done well and completely to the 3 chips does not fail, I tell you this because I have done several of those jobs the oldest 2 years ago not to PX3P but OnePlus 6T and they have never brought it to me by guarantee or because it fails again, I go back and repeat the "reflow" is not a permanent "repair", the "rework" Yes

The only 2 "chip" that can be replaced are the Ram or UFS, to replace the ram you just have to find out the type of LPDDR it is and the bandwidth, nothing else if you want you can put an 8GB instead of the of 6gb or greater capacity, for the UFS apart from knowing the type of memory, voltage that works, you have to copy absolutely all the files from the old one and copy them to the new one, but it is done with a special "reprogrammer"

Question Is my poco x3 pro (global) safe now that motherboard was changed?

So in 15 aug 2022, my poco x3 pro (which i had used for 4 months?) died out of nowhere (edl - no charge light) and warranty changed motherboard (all data is gone :/). This is already my last xiaomi phone ever but I may use it for now.
My question is: after the motherboard change, is this chip issue that caused mine and many other peoples' poco x3 phones to hard brick fixed or still present, waiting to detonate one day again?
and if i unlock bootloader to backup stuff, would it void warranty?

Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty.
For the rest, I do not know.

If they changed your motherboard you will have the same problem over time, the long-term solution is to have a rework "reballing" done, that is a permanent solution
