Xiaomi

I have Chinese edition Mix Fold 4 with HyperOS.

I have been able to activate my Google Fi sim (unlimited) in my S24 Ultra and then transferring it to my Mix Fold 4. Which gave me texting, calling and LTE data without downloading Google Fi app.

I have enabled VoNR and VoLTE, which seem to work. I have managed to enable "Calls over WLAN" without Google Fi app and using dial codes to enable. But it does not work.

When I make a call, it keeps saying "connect to WLAN" even though I'm already connected to WLAN. I tried enabling "Mobile Radio Power" in network, but no luck either.

Mix Fold 4 info:

• bootloader is not unlocked.
• OS version: 1.0.11.0UNVCNXM
• has original build.prop

Was wondering if anyone been able to enable WIFI calling or texting without Google Fi app on HyperOS?

I found this, but don't know if it's still relevant today. https://xdaforums.com/t/activate-project-fi-account-from-an-unsupported-device-successfully-accomplished.3784430/ Looks like you try to trick Google Fi into thinking your device is supported by updating the Build.prop file with "supported device" information.

Was thinking about using either of these to edit build.prop file in HyperOS. APP: "Root Browser" or Systemless

Any words of advice? Thanks

I want to set different ringtones for personal number and the one I use for work, but I can't figure out how to do it. any tips?

Second space feature is uniqoe to Xiaomi and truly makes you feel like you have two completely separate phones in one device. This Xiaomi implementation of Android multiple accounts feature is by far the most elegant and user-friendly.

The second space feature is the only reason I continue to buy Xiaomi phones. Otherwise nothing really differentiates Xiaomi significantly from competitors.

I am discovering more and more bugs and missing features in recent versions of second space. Examples:

Cannot adust display size (stuck at Small and can't change it). I am vision impaired so this is important to me.

Missing ability to set power saving options for apps installed in second space.

Missing ability to adjust notifications sound volume in second space.

Buggy handling of notification sounds when switching between spaces.

All this is causing me to wonder whether Xiaomi has ababdoned this feature and is no longer maintaining or updating it?

Would appreciate hearing from other second space users about this.

"Adapt Sound" basically does a hearing test and then automatically equalizes your headphones or speakers accordingly. I have a hearing impairment and need this feature.

Hi everyone, I'm planning to buy Xiaomi 14. I have read reviews but I wish to know the user reviews about it, especially about the display, heating, "lens fog" issue, etc. Thanks for the replies.

Hello Everyone,

I just found out, that my GF's Phone (Redmi Note 10 Pro) is still on MIUI 13.0.16 and Android 12 with Security updates 2022-11-01 therefore.

The device is eol, but all sources I could find tell me that the last available version should be Android 13 with MIUI 14.0 or HyperOS 1.0 https://hyperosupdates.com/hyperos/sweet

The Device was set to automatically download and install system updates but apparently it didn't update for 1.5 years. And manually hitting the "search for updates" button only returns the info that no updates are available.

Has anyone of you some idea what could be the issue here?

Hi guys, first of all I should mention that I already had both phones for about week, but my issue is, that I don't decide which one to choose as my daily driver. I already try all flagsihps available in my region (in global version with local warranty) expect Sony Xperia for which I still waiting for my pre-order one, and for now I narrow my choice only on x100 Pro and 14 Ultra.

Both phones was really good and both of them had small issues but nothing what I can't live with.

What I can't test was the experience with long-term usage, and that's why I want to ask you, mainly users which have experience with Vivo (funtouch) or Xiaomi (global) devices, how is software support, speed of updates etc?

Also how is battery degradation after some time? I had experience from Samsung that after less than 2 years battery is really weak.

And how is build quality after time? I know that there are each year newer "more resistent" materials used on phones, but how is resistance agains scratches on display/back panel? Especially that "leather" finish ones. I use my phone without cases or screen protector for many years and for past models I have issues only with scratches on alluminium frame.

And one more question for x100 Pro and 14 Ultra users, I made more than 1000 photos from both devices, but somehow I totally forgot or don't have chance to try capture some motion shot, how this phones hande motion? For example runnign dogs, kids playing, or some shot from evening events with peoples in different condition inside/outside?

Currently both phones are in my country on same price (about 1050€) or there is also option for Xiaomi 14 Ultra with photohraphy kit and wireless charger for 1199€, so it is not like few months ago when Vivo was for 1100 and Xiaomi for 1500. Also I want to keep phone for at least next 3 years

Thank you for any advices

Xiaomi Redmi 13 4G launched with Helio G91 Ultra and 108MP main cam

I don't want biometrics unlock, and 16 character is a pain to type each time.

What I'd like; when unlocking the password will be asked, but it could be possible to enter the password using a QR Code using the pre-unlock camera mode. The password would still be the main way to unlock, the QR would just be an alternative.

Issue; my phone dont want to read a QR Code before unlocking (for obvious security reason).

Does anyone have an idea if it is even possible? If yes, where should I look?

I'm on a Xiaomi 13T Pro.

I want to unlock bootloader using fastboot for GSI rom. I did everything but once i try to unlock it doesnt do anything. I run fastboot flashing unlock but it goes with: FAILED (remote: 'unknown command') fastboot: error: Command failed. I made sure the phone is connected to PC, i have enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging, i dont think im doing anything wrong. I tried the MIUI app, but it just doesnt send me the code. Any help?

Hello to everybody!

I have a request and a question for you. I want to buy redmi note 13 pro+ 12/512 or Xiaomi 13t pro 12/256

I'm mainly interested in photos, so I'll have more than enough performance with both mobile phones, but the point is that the pro+ has 4x lossless zoom and the 13t pro only has 2x

At the same time, I am interested in night photos and their quality and daytime photos

if I'm not mistaken, the 13 pro+ has EIS and OIS stabilization, while the 13t pro doesn't, so ultimately I don't know which of these two mobile phones to choose for medium photography

Xiaomi becomes 8th largest EV upstart in China after successful SU7 launch

Hello, I need help to unlock my bootloader on Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, I have had an active account on the Mi community for 400 days and I requested an unlock which was accepted until 2025, I waited 7 days but when I try to add my account in the developer options, a toast appears: "Your account is not authorized to unlock, please change another". I have only unlocked 2 devices with this account.

I also tried with another account more than a month old, this time it works but it's on the Mi Unlock software that I receive the same error.

PS : Sorry for my english , it's not my native langage

I have had a Redmi Note 9, that I as very pleased with, so much so, that when the screen broke, I was happy to upgrade to the Redmi note 12 Pro+ G5!

I expected an upgrade to an already great phone (except for the forced ads and bloatware), but besides that, i felt that I was going from a middle range phone, to a newer and better phone within the series (based on all the"pro", "+" and "G5" that my previous did not have)

I must admit though, than now after I have been using it for a while I don't feel that it is a better phone. I love the super fast 120W charging but that is about all that I love with this phone...

In particular the camera is my greatest issue and the reason why I am looking for answers

On my Redmi Note 9, when I filmed video, it had an image stabilization that worked quite well. On Redmi Note 12, I can't see this. I film at 720 or 1080 with 30FPS, as this is the range that my Redmi Note 9 allowed images stabilization for.

I could make much better footage with the Note 9, than I can with the 12 Pro+ !

Anybody experienced the same, or maybe even have a fix for this?

I am trying to change my ringtone for Task remainder application from notifications panel. On clicking choose from local ringtone it display me some black screen and on the top saying "Add Notification". Later I opened themes app and decided upload new ringtone for local ringtones by click "+" button on bottom right, then it says "Select Tone" with black screen again.

I uninstalled which broke my phone like I couldn't even select ringtone from locals too, and my phone keeps on asking to report bug when I was trying to change the ringtone.

I later restored it and even updated to latest version. And I even tried to change regions on my phone.

Can anyone help me with this situation?

Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps?

Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear.

Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail.

General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between.

(I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)

If yes, any issues yet?

Now you can control your water heater from your Xiaomi car 😆
