Marshmallow update...Xiaomi is playing with us!

I bought a Mi4c a few months ago convinced it was a great phone that could replace my Nexus 5 and yes it is a good phone with good specs but I bought it also when Xiaomi announced it would update to Marshmallow. My Nexus 5 was already running under MM so, I thought it would be a matter of a couple of weeks (Xiaomi announced update in Decembre) Today months have passed, many manufacturers like Motorola, Sony and even Samsung have updated some of their models even Moto E...but still nothing for Mi4c. Xiaomi makes good phones and I thought it was better than others cheap Chineses makers. It wants to be compared to Apple but it lacks support and compromise to existing customers. I probably had placed my expectations too high. Am I the only one? Next time I will buy a Nexus again.

Xiaomi uses Miui rom. There is no mutch different between MM based miui and Lollipop based miui.
Miui have most features of MM has already.

thats right! because of that i have no stress to get MM.
sMIUI runs great for me and have many many features!

IMO, they have too many devices to support. Just look at this table:

Many vendors only support their devices for 1 year, some 2, but here you can see Mi2S which is almost 3 years old and is still a supported device. I don't think Xiaomi has big enough development team to maintain all of those devices to match current base Android version. Moreover, they're advertising MIUI, which should have the similar experience between supported devices regardless the base Android version. 3 devices are already out with MM (still beta?), just wait for Mi4c turn. What features do you need from MM anyway?

"What features do you need from MM anyway?" My thoughts exactly.
Looking at the new features of MM, the ones that are interesting are the memory manager, per-app permissions and battery management. These are all things MIUI has built in already. Which probably also makes it that much harder to integrate into a new MIUI version.
Most of the other changes are cosmetic and most likely would not be reflected in MIUI anyway, when the MM update does come out.

or you can install TS CM13 - built by TS team or TS broken OS. They are 6.0 MM and pretty stable now. Great team with great supports and speed.

The only real feature M offers over L is SD card as internal storage. Since Mi4c has no external storage you aren't missing anything. MIUI already does a Doze feature killing everything in the background.

Doze, per app permission and memory management are thé most wanted feature un MM.
MIUI is good and I don't criticize his developping team very active. I am only mad at Xiaomi marketing team making announcements and not complying.

Like a few of us mentioned so far, those features have been built into MIUI for a long time already. So rejoice, you have your most wanted features
On a serious note, it's probably reasonable to assume the MM rollout will follow the release of the new flagship, the Mi 5. Which I think is like a day or two away. You can bet that'll be released with the latest MIUI iteration of android.

Please provide at least 1 quote from Xiaomi officials that said Mi4c will get MM soon.
And no.. gizchina "xiaomi mm devices updates schedule" is not official.

i use Broken that is 6.0 and it works perfectly...
if u want 6.0 that bad get it...

Smartlock is there but it is not working at all... That would be nice to have it, dont know if under Android 6 or 7, or actual 5.1...

i believe it's a matter of time before the mi4c reveives marshmallow... but judging from xiaomi history mm won't come anytime soon... i'd estimate (personally) early autumn the soonest......

Am I the only one that think Xiaomi won't update Mi4c to MM?

I guess so. Since Mi 3/4/5/Note get it, there's no reason to skip Mi 4C/4S/Note Pro/any other still supported devices. However, they seem to be in a discussion now, for supporting newer Android base with locked bootloader or stay with older one with unlocked bootloader.

Why shouldn't it get MM? The Mi4S just got released and should therefore get it, which is very similar to the Mi4C.

Maybe they will update Mi4c straight forward to "N" just like Mi4 which jumped lollipop to MM.

So I've been asking this question on almost all the new phones' forums recently because it's never mentioned in any of the spec websites or the manufacturers website. None of the YouTube tech channels check it either except for one which he also forgets to do for some of the phones.
The question is.... Is this phone Widevine L1 certified?
Anybody who already bought the phone can check through downloading an app via playstore. App name is 'drm info'.
Screenshot would be appreciated for anybody who are looking for this particular feature in the next phone they're gonna buy. Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah I know people can answer after they buy the phone, I'll just leave this here since it's something people should know before buying a phone. Whoever can get a screenshot of drm info will be appreciated.

Bump. Also interested in this. Wouldn't get my hopes up though, so far no Xiaomi phone has widevine L1.

I don't have the phone yet, but according to Frankie Tech's 48-hr review on YouTube, it's L3 (and he showed the results from DRM info in his video @ around 8 minutes in). He's running the Chinese software, of course... and said that the Mi 8 Global Version is L1, so maybe there's hope for the Mix 3. Who knows? Time will tell...

That's false. That YouTube guy lives in HK , buys all his phones from China. He doesn't know about the global variants that's why he says "probably".
I went to the xiaomi store in Hong Kong yesterday and checked at least 3 mi 8/ 2 mi 8 pro/ also pocofone. None of them had L1.

Can you clarify which part is false? Are you saying that it's unlikely any version of the Xiaomi phones (esp Mix 3) will have L1?

No xiaomi phone will have L1.

I'm also saying, anything without proof should not be considered as a fact. This YouTube guy has no proof that the global version of Mi 8 has L1, which is exactly what he says and compares the Mi Mix 3 with.

Thanks... and that's a good reminder as well. That's part of the reason I shared the the approximate time he talked about (and showed) that the Mix 3 has L3. I'm not really familiar with the guy, but it seems like he puts a lot of effort into his videos - I wonder where he heard that about the Mi 8. It seems a silly thing to lie about.
Anyway, thanks again...

You're right. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Mi 8 Global variant and it has Widevine L3.

Hi, just wanted to update this thread. I have a Mix 3 and Widevine is L3. Flashed the EU MIUI 10 ROM when it became available for Mi Mix 3. Still L3.
Shame, especially with such a beautiful screen. Hope this helps!

The information comes from the global version I imported from HK. Unfortunately the smartphone comes with videwine level 3 and not L1.
(For those who are interested I would recommend to order a cover for the phone as the included one is low quality quality)

Its L3, Global Version with Global MIUI.

Question Question Regarding Bootloader Unlock/Relock For ASUS ROG Phone 5/5s?

Quick question regarding ASUS ROG Phone 5/5s? If you unlock the bootloader using the official unlock app, and then relock the bootloader again, can you use the app again to unlock?
I've read online that once you relock your bootloader you can kiss the root/bootloader unlock goodbye. I just want to confirm from ASUS ROG Phone 5/5s users whether or not this is the case.

If your device is a native WW version (i.e not CN or CN>WW converted), from my actual experience, you can lock/unlock it as many times as you want - I've done that at least a handful times or so on an original WW 5 device.
I can not speak for CN, converted and S models however - users here claim you're done for life once you re-lock one of those, so I'd be careful.

Same. Most of these users must own/refer to devices that have been converted to WW and then re-locked. If you get an original Global model that's not a CN/Tencent knock-off, you should be OK and highly recommended anyway.
The blanket notion that ASUS only allow users to unlock 1 time as stated in a couple of posts in forums is not correct in the case of original Global devices from my experience. I even confirmed that with ASUS before they did a complete firmware rebuild on mine once. Re-locked/unlocked multiple times using the ASUS app, zero issues. - Again, I can't speak for Pro/Ultimate/S models and I've never had a CN/Tencent model in my hand, I had the normal original WW/Global model while I still had this device.
Either way, I don't know why you wanna unlock/re-lock it. Best to unlock it and leave it alone...

What about the US version? The global version (EU) is different from the US version, but I personally believe it would be the same story as with global version (EU), but I just want to confirm.

I too would expect there is no difference between the Global versions with respect to the bootloader lock but I don't want to guess something I haven't verified - Maybe someone here with an original Global-US version can confirm...

Sokat keresgéltem mire megtaláltam és tapasztalatból segített, a megfelelő driver és a megfelelő usb kábel, illetve az Asus Rogphone 5 oldalsó usb-je csak az adb driverre reagál, ez a videó mentve van, ajánlom megnézni 15:25-től relock bootloader, és nekem is hibátlanul sikerült, kövessetek részletesen, hogy minden megtörténjen!!!
I searched a lot by the time I found it and it helped from experience, the right driver and the right usb cable and the Asus Rogphone 5 side usb only responds to the adb driver, this video is saved, I recommend watching it from 15:25 relock bootloader and me also succeeded flawlessly, follow me in detail to make it all happen !!!

Thank you for your reply. I am not looking for the Tencent version, and my question is not about how to relock, but rather if I can unlock again after relocking.

@Andrologic to add more proof to ur claim, I've talked to the US store's customer service agent about this specific issue, and it matches your claim. Here's the chat discussion screenshot (only the relevant part is screenshotted):

He said I should be able to use the app more than once. I have the case number and I will follow up with him again regarding this question, but I believe it still works. The warning in the other XDA form post is because people locked the bootloader on a not-supported ROM (e.g. global ROM on CN version), which confused the app. If they locked it on a CN ROM, I believe the app would still work.
I will follow up more regarding this issue. Thank you again @Andrologic with your confirmation on the global (EU version) "Unlock Device App" unlock after relock issue.

Here is another chat session screenshot:

Before we go posting this into every warning thread about locking and unlocking a bootloader as hard fact, let's remember a few things...
One is that this has only been confirmed in practice on one or two native WW devices, so it should still be done with caution.
Another is that the inability to unlock a second time has been confirmed on a handful of Tencent devices, so it can more or less be assumed it doesn't apply there.
The last is that you are getting confirmation from Asus chat support. If I had a nickel for every time one of those agents agreed with whatever I said and later found out it wasn't true, I could buy China.
You should still use caution and it may only be possible on native WW devices. Let's not go spreading the rumor that a "proper" conversion or sticking to the CN ROM allows multiple unlocks on Tencent, especially in threads where someone else has to deal with the consequences of it being speculation.

@johnny886 You are amazing! Can you pin your post above in the ASUS ROG Phone 5S forum so that it is a reference to the folks who are struggling to open their bootloaders?
Now, this post really confirms my decision of getting this phone. I was deciding between Pixel 6 Pro and ASUS ROG Phone 5S. Both phones can be rooted. Both phones have North American variant with the almost perfect network coverage, as well as having dual sim (I am looking for network bands 4, 7, 13, 66, and 71 for Freedom Mobile here in Canada). ASUS ROG Phone 5S has better value per money tbh. Better processor on benchmark. More storage on the base one. Lastly, it comes with a whopping 65W charger in the box (while Pixel 6 Pro u need to buy it separately and it is also only 30W), and the battery is just better. The only thing I will be missing here is the wireless charger, but tbh, it's such a gimmick feature to worry about.
Also, one thing I forgot, it is better to get a Qualcomm device rather than a new foreign COU like Tensor chip, because at least we know how to get into EDL mode and unbrick.

Google Pixel 6 These two phones are not worth buying. I tested the Pixel 6 Pro and the experience is very poor. You can choose a better one. Tensor Soc is modified by Google based on Samsung exynos, and the measured experience is not as good as Qualcomm Snapdragon 888plus.

General [CLOSED][D!OS] New fully automated Android OS Build A.I. Project. Test needed !!!

Just wanted to say Hello for now!
I just got My Pixel 7 Pro yesterday (Love it) and i am running LOS 20.0 right now, to see how well it runs... (No Exynos or Tensor experience here)
It gives Me Hope for DIOS (aka DevIceOperatingSystem) right now, My upcoming Android Project which was planned for Xperias (but i switched for many Reasons to Google's latest Flagship). DIOS will be AOSP based and will come with all of the latest Pixel Stock Goodies. There is more around it of course but that will be kept as Secrets for now!
Hoping for good Times with the Tensor G2 and this Community! I am also open for Help (especially on a new SoC like this) so let Me know if You want to join the DIOS Project!
Edit: Doing Livestreams of My work from time to time. Feel free to join!

Cela me donne de l'espoir pour DIOS (alias DevIceOperatingSystem) en ce moment, mon prochain projet Android qui était prévu pour Xperias (mais je suis passé pour de nombreuses raisons au dernier produit phare de Google). DIOS sera basé sur AOSP et viendra avec tous les derniers Pixel Stock Goodies. Bien sûr, il y a plus autour de lui, mais cela restera secret pour le moment !
En espérant de bons moments avec le Tensor G2 et cette communauté ! Je suis également ouvert à l'aide (en particulier sur un nouveau SoC comme celui-ci), alors faites-moi savoir si vous souhaitez rejoindre le projet D

TY! It's indeed a upcoming OS/ROM. Some Infos about DIOS:
AOSP Based (always latest code)
No Cherry Picks (from any other ROM)
Always using latest Pixel FW for Building (Automated forking)
Builds are optimized for Performance, Battery and Quality (Audio, Video, Camera)
(I have seemly a lot of non QCOM related Android knowledge left for this lol)
Builds are made by My so called "DIOS BUILD A.I." which is ZSH Shell driven
(Manjaro Linux Based and usable with aosp-devel AUR Package)
Building of DIOS is blazing fast and super Grandma friendly
I am currently overhauling My BUILD A.I. for the AOSP Trees and Pixels alongside with some ChatGPT influences to make everything even smarter (Yes, i just started working with A.I. too). Builds will come after that and some Testing. Goal is rolling out DIOS for Pixel 6 and 7 Series rn since it will be Tensor optimized strictly (Throwing out all of My loved QCOM optimizations for the good).

True. I just gave so much since 2019 and got like nothing back except Problems with the SODP and Stock Trees. DIOS was on Ice for so long bc of that. Glad i chose the Pixel 7 Pro and not the Redmi K60 Pro or anything like that... Tensor is so fresh for Me and the Pixel Communities seem to be cool. Looking forward for some good Years with You Folks

Mod customers, rom customers i love pixel family!! The best old guy's who created rom/kernel/mod/thermal etc since 2012...
thank you also that you are with us now

@Miustone good choice bro, please focus on activating features drop and 5G in unsupported countries, by doing so you will be the first developer who achieved it since no one did until today, specially 5G in unsupported countries

Thanks for your work in trying develop for the Xperia line. The lack of meaningful development hurt the phone.

I guess so. I like it better and better with each Day. 5G will be a thing for sure... But what do you mean with the activating of Pixel Drops? Please elaborate on that

4 Years and this Thread here get's already more attention as all of the Xperia Threads in the same Time... SONY killed the Community just alone with so many bad Decisions. They could make super great Pixel like Phones but it is more like even less in Terms of Features and Uniqueness. It is like You get AOSP with some Apps added. So Great! And surely worth the 1000+ €uros with it's 2 Years of Updates (Same for Security Updates).

Some stuff might be broken but nothing you didnt had before... Still Testing around...
Made for latest Stock (Magisk). Dont use with AOSP Mods yet (might cause UI Problems). Enjoy MARS!
Included:
-More Pixel Features
-Daydream VR Support
-360 Display Rotation
-Lockscreen Rotation
-2 Button Navigation
-Optimizations under the Hood (Might be messy rn)
-VoLTE, Videocalls over Carrier and other IMS Services enabled (5G!?)
More but i cant remeber

A little dirty fork i made... Containing most Pixel LWP's (some not working yet)

Question Xiaomi 13 - Battery life and drain

Hello all, how's your phone battery performing?
I'm not so satisfied with mine...
4-5hrs SOT is max i could get in theese few days i had the phone.
Also, is this Android system drain normal (pic attached) ?

First day of using it and my experience is great.

did hou get your device from trading shenzen? are there any differences to Chinese version of the devices? if you got the device from them, can you fast boot flash global or any other version?
sorry for the off topic

I got it from eBay, if you want i can send you the link.
They did the bootloader unlock and pre-installed the EU ROM, i just fastboot updated it.
My unit is the China version, so you can't flash global rom and lock the bootloader, so EU ROM is the best option.

with Chinese version ROM, are there any downsides? I am just worried if I have unlocked bootloader, Google pay will stop working eventually or won't at all as it does on custom ROM s
please share the link

Well the EU ROM makes google and banking apps think that the bootloader is locked, so as long as the developers will continue to make updates there shouldn't be any problems. but check here more posts lots of people talking about China vs Global.
i just discovered that global version have eSim support...

Well, I live in Europe and that missing 4G frequency B20 might be pretty essential, I might just wait until they lower the price on Global device. They will eventually, it has been just a month since the device released.

Global ROM will cause your wallet to stop working

One more day that i would consider bad. Is there a way to check why is android system consuming most battery?

Wi-Fi is more energy intensive than data especially for streaming and downloads.

I am getting about 7 SOT and I am OK with that.

Is it actually true, and makes any sense "for a normal user"?
I always thought and lived in that mindset that data drains more, (and it makes more sense for me) due to that when you travel around, and the connection to the cellular towers always changing, sometimes back-and forth.
