Hi guys, I live in Dubai and just received my Mi12s Ultra.
Such an amazing phone! I bought it from expansys and got the CN version with Google.
Previous phone was Samsung Note 20 Ultra which I decided to keep in case I have to switch back to it due to certain issues listed below (assume there are probably a lot more issues I haven't found out yet)
I noticed I can't seem to send videos on WhatsApp normally, videos have a terrible framerate. From a quick search it seems its a common issue unfortunately. Just wondering if there is any fix? If it helps anyone I noticed while testing that videos shot in 4k seem to improve the framerate when sending videos over WhatsApp but it's not a viable solution.
Also I cannot seem to install Google chrome so I'm forced to use Edge. Is there a way to install chrome?
Love the phone and the camera but these issues make me wonder if its worth keeping long term....
Would love to know your thoughts, thanks!
Chrome installs ok. If you can't get it through play store, try APK mirror or other non Google app.

Hi
Google Play Services suddenly started to drain my battery. 100->87%, 18 minutes SOT 2 hours standby.
I found out, that I have an outdated version of Google Play Services and I have tried Google, but can't seem to find a way to manually update it and since it don't update itself, how do I update it?
Thanks in advance
Download it from APKMirror and install using your favourite file manager

Thanks. APKMirror is a legit site? I just find it weird Google Play Services suddenly wants to get access to route my call and text messages. (New permissions from the app from APKMirror).
Download it directly from Google Play if you are concerned. I just did it this morning myself from Google Play using this process and got version 7.8.93.

APKMirror is run by Android Police, and is very much legit
I also read about a trick over on Reddit to get your phone to update Google Play Services itself. Simply load Google's Android Wear app then launching it and trying to set up will initiate the Google Play Services update since Android Wear needs version 7.8.93. Even though I downloaded it from the pay store using APK Downloader, I tried this and was able to get the phone to self update to the latest update to 7.8.95 now. Interesting trick.
For example, on the detailed page of apkpure website for 'Google Chrome browser', I noticed that the field value of 'uploaded by' is someone else other than 'Google LLC'.
So, I wonder whether this apk is safe and reliable enough to download and install on Android devices. Have apkpure finished some security check? ......
As we know, Google Play Store is unavailable on Android devices in some countries. These Android users have to download their apks in order to install some apps.
Thanks for your comments and advices in advance.

I don't use apkpure so much but the apks are verified before uploading usually. Users upload apks, apkpure checks if it's safe an then publish it. I can't confirm they do it 100% at apkpure, but I can with Apkmirror. It's a very serious website (Affiliated with Android Police) that host very popular apks like paphonb ported apks and other cool stuff. I use this rather than apkpure

Yes I have same situation here in Brazil. After update there is no longer google playstore available, location is totally bug and even downloading from other source the app does not run. I will check on Mi Community as well and let you know if I figure out anything over there.
As far as I know, in fact, your Google Play Store app has just been hiden. Download the latest Play Store apk, v23.2.11-21 or V21.2.12-21, and then install it on your device. You will find the Play Store icon appears on the home screen now.
You can get that apk from the well-known apkmirror or apkpure website.

Thank you for your prompt reply and information. However both versions and also the latest offered by the websites did not work. I really do not know what to do
After some research, I found the Google Play Store app had been renamed 'Google Play Services Updater' in 'Settings - Apps list'. In addition, the launch icon disappeared from home screens.
But it will recover when you install the later edition of Google Play Store.
If you need, I will send you the cloud storage link to the Google Play Store apk, v23.2.11-21 or V21.2.12-21. I think it will work.
Thank you! Now it is working!

Congratulations.
New Fold 2 user here.
I usually buy phones that I root, but I have gone back to a locked ATT Fold 2 this time.
First disappointment with ATT is that they seemed to put a special Voicemail App that is just for the Fold 2. Unlike the old ATT Voicemail app, this one does not have the capability to transcribe messages. It also does not seem to have a widget either for the home screen. The other odd thing is this Fold 2 special version does not appear to be on the Play Store so I doubt updates will ever be forthcoming unless they update it with the ROM.
I have done many searches and tried some things. I tried to install the old ATT Voicemail but it would not install. Some seemed to say they were successful at using the Samsung Voicemail App, but again, that would not install so I am not sure how they got it to work.
Anyone suggest a better voicemail app that works with T?
Did you try to look at APK mirror app?

Perfect! Thank you. Got it from there and it seems to work on the Fold 2.
i have an old motorola xoom, i downgraded back to honeycomb a while ago, i dont feel like upgrading it back to jellybean since its full of old games and genuinely a really comfy setup i have going.
I'd like to try and get youtube working on it even if its some kind of website, although an app would be preferable.
i know its kind of a weird ask, since this version of android is rather obscure and from what i can tell: nobody liked it. but i would like to put more use to this tablet than using it for escargot, imap email, or a desk clock has been my favorite so far.
thanks!
