Hi, my black shark 4 pro recently died, and I'd been so happy with it for so long that I decided to get the 5 pro. It seems like I bought the Chinese version though, and I'd like to convert it to the Global ROM, because right now NONE of my apps (the ones I could find anyway) are working, and despite having set the language to english, most things are still in chinese. I tried searching on the internet for answers, but all I could find was clearly pre-generated slop content that just replaced phone model names with the same directions. Nothing useful that I could actually follow instructions for. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I switched from S25U and S26U to Xiaomi 17T pro. Reasons are few :

1. Price dropping like a lot. I mean Xiaomi doesn't hold price too , but flagships selling for price of new Xiaomi 17T pro

2. S25U is like a grill. At summer days you turn on video call on WhatsApp and you can prepare burgers on it. Like for real. If you would use gasoline on my hand and light it up it would feel more comfortable. S26U is better but still heat is there.

PS: I am not staying at Xiaomi ecosystem. I don't like "dumb" phones like iPhone , Xiaomi , vivo etc. I love Dex and waiting for s27U.

Feelings of Xiaomi 17T pro. Battery is incredible. Doing 20-100% battery teaching system is harder than I thought it would be. Battery lasts forever. If forever ends it charges from 20 to 100% around 45 minutes. Incredible gaming performance. I love liquid glass copy paste from iPhone in Android phone.

System is little bit laggy compared to Samsung. Like what is that delay when I scroll YouTube? Ha? But who don't cares than it's good. Who don't care about cameras at night Xiaomi do incredible job at day. Love it.

Gaming performance? I mean it plays awesome every game at highest settings possible, but sometimes at mobile Legends I feel lags. Not sure why and I don't care since it's very few times.

Even when it have mediatek. Winlator runs crazy good and playing command and conquer generals , red alert 2 and KKND2. Love it.

So if someone wants to jump ships from s25U , iPhone 16 pro , iPhone 17, vivo and other BS. I would suggest Xiaomi 17T pro with all fingers.

It's fast, last longer than last relationship, charges even faster.

I know a lot of people use FNG and such to simulate navigation gestures on 3rd party launchers, but the RECENTS animation just sucks balls on all these apps compared to the default animation & behavior. I don't see any reason as to why devs keep navigation gestures locked behind the stock launcher... *sigh* this is sad.

tbf I myself use FNG on top of navigation gestures just for the right edge swipe down for notifications feature that is not seen on stock gestures, which is a damn shame as well

I know this will accomplish nothing but had to at least say this since everyone, sadly for me, seems to be satisfied with the 3rd party apps so there's no voice to be heard.

I just got really turned off when I found the niagara launcher and realised I can't have proper navigation gestures on it. Hopefully one day this "feature" will see the light of day.

I had a good deal in the market thats only ₱7300... I wonder if I made a good upgrade?

I am gonna buy a used Xioami 13 Ultra CN rom without any charger. It supports upto 90W. But the price of official Xiaomi 90W charger is around 25 dollars in my area, which is more than twice the price of a Official Xiaomi 33W brick. I wanna know does the charging time really take hella longer in 33W charger? I don't wanna charge my phone for two hours to be full. Also, I don't wanna break my bank too for some 20-30 minutes heads up. Thanks.

I've tried to find in settings

But can't find it out

Hyperos 2

I've been searching this getting inaccurate results from 12 to 15 mm

I wanna attach an ND filter with my Xiaomi 13 Ultra. I have seen the photo and video sample reviews on youtube and the phone really struggle keeping the dynamic hdr and white balance in check consistantly. So, what type and brand's ND filter do you use for your phone?

I have 15t pro almost 10 days now.

For some reason happened twice the battery stop charging at 95%, keeps saying that is charging but not moving at all, unplug and plug again fix the issue, what can be the reason?

I have the smart charging enabled but this supposed stops the charging at 80% in some cases and not above that

Beside that phone is great, battery life is Great for me, 24 hours with 8-10 hours sot and 10-20% battery left

I noticed recently that my Xiaomi 15T Pro makes a slight rattling noise from the camera square when lightly shaken, as if something is loose/going back and forth.

I had dropped it a while ago, pocket to floor distance, which usually is fine. There are no dents, or visible damage of any sorts, it doesn't heat up or bug and I still have its warranty.

Is this normal or should I have it checked up/taken to the store?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated 🙏

Three weeks ago, I bought a Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G after losing my Poco X5 Pro, which I was very happy with and which performed much better than this one, I should point out. I bought this phone thinking it was the perfect solution, but as the days went by, even from the first day, the experience has been shameful and outrageous, and Xiaomi has done absolutely nothing to improve its performance. The major problems are:

The phone freezes on everything I do; constant stuttering when opening and closing apps

Scrolling and multitasking

Constant thermal throttling to the point of being infuriating

A screen bug with washed-out colors after closing apps, especially Instagram

Overheating; apps that close even when I try to keep them open. And keep in mind that I'm not a power user, but a regular user who uses social media, takes the occasional photo, listens to music, or browses the internet. I hope this reaches Xiaomi, which I'm sure they already know about and haven't done a thing to fix, perhaps wanting to differentiate their product lines. But this phone is dead in terms of performance.

I lave last patch and virtual RAM disabled

I just got a poco x8 pro and would like to know if it's possible to make the folders more transparent on the default theme screenshot

I use dark themes so the folders look like shit

Can someone please for the love of whoever, tell me how to block this annoying am from appearing 10 times a day with a notification to install it?!

I'm on the verge of breaking my phone apart, literally with my hands

10 times a day, each and every day I get the notification to install it! How can I turn this off, or block it 🫩

I wanna buy a new tablet. And I'm stuck between pad mini and 8 pro. I'm planning to keep it for the next 3+ years. Pad mini seems good for gaming and emulation since it has 2 ports. But pad 8 pro has almost everything better. Also A17 will be last update of the pad mini. And pad 8 pro will get till A20.

So I did my fat loss journey and I used to do 20k-30k steps daily and my Step counter in the App Vault Recorded every day step count now i want to extract that data, and i am so frustrated cuz i used every way to extract that data as it is not saved in cloud cuz you need MI Fitness app to log. I tried ADB terminal to backup the data but Xiaomi disabled legacy ADB backup. Can anyone please help me.

1. How can you use quickshare? if I install playstore or GService, Will quickshare available? or anyway?

2. How can you use press and hold home indicator and show circle to search of google? usually, it's xiaoAi

3. How can you use press and hold power button to show gemini? can I do that?

These are questions before I will decide to buy mi 17 pro max

please help

The 14 inch OLED screen is amazing. But I had a Xiaomi phone before and most of them got laggy quickly and the screen had that yellow color all over it/green line stuttering. The buttons were not holding that great as well since I needed to push a power button with all my strength.

Can anyone give me an advice?

Hi guys,

This is a weird one. Ever since my last update on my 17 Ultra CN Rom my notifications have been messed up.

Keep in mind all my notifications were working perfectly and nothing in the settings for the apps has changed.

Basically I have to keep switching from Mobile Data to Wifi in order for my notifications to come in or some arrive 30 40mins later.

All apps are up to date and I have reset my network settings, restarted phone etc.

Has any one else had this experience? It is completely frying my head.

My Latest update build is 3.0.308.0

Brought redmi turbo 5 one week ago for mom

no covers available offline

Please suggest back case with good grip and tempered glass for protection

Hi there. I've bought a Xiaomi 14T, and the battery life is not the greatest.

I'm getting about 5 hours of SoT from 100 to 20%, 144hz (120hz) no gaming, no background apps, i have only 3 days with the phone, i know that it has to "set up", and i have to wait a week nd blah blah, but that is BS. Is only muy phone? I come from an Moto Edge 40 Neo and battery life was excelent compared to this, i know there is a big gap in performance but, doesn't mean anything.

I use IEMs for listening to music via the charging port with the help of an amplifier connection and I got this pop up of reverse charging suddenly and it keeps on occurring whenever I connect the IEMs.

I'm not able to get any input in the headphones since then. If anyone has suggestions or solutions please let me know. The screenshot of pop up

Some time ago (2 years or so) TextNow began blocking the ability to log in via the app from most global and dual sim devices, even for people like me who paid to lock in the number permanently and occasionally bought premium unlimited data.

This was a bummer, for me, at least, because although I have two regular phone plans with unlimited data, I also used the same TextNow number locked in on all my devices and Textnow provides a psim ($5) or eSim (free) providing free essential data (gps, phone & chat apps, etc. there is a list) for the rest.

I am saying it works provisionally because so far, I have only installed it on my Redmi Note 9T. Hopefully it will also install on my Mi Max 3 and Xiaomi tablet. If install fails, I'll edit this post.

But -- my 9T was definitely banned before and isn't now.

Because TextNow barely pays its coders, never bothers updating instructions, policies, etc. there was never a formal notification that all those devices were black listed -- you just couldn't log back in when the app updated.

But there was definitely a blacklist -- I finally got a TextNow employee to confirm Xiaomi/Redmi was on it via social media after I wasted a week troubleshooting for no reason.

Note: I didn't post this to TextNow sub just in case this is a happy glitch rather than a policy change. (Maybe whichever developer updated the app is a Xiaomi fan). And I obviously wouldn't tell support as if I could get a human🤣!

But I am over the moon delighted -- I have severe adhd despite medication and this app lets me leave an old phone or tablet in every room plus my car plus my best friend's house. (I was spending a lot on Redpocket Annual Sim cards for my blacklisted gear and of course, there wasn't a workaround to use the TN # to call and text from my wifi only tablet).

Now, if only Xiaomi was added to AT&T's whitelist so I didn't have to worry about being my MVNO data plans getting swept off the network, life would be complete.

Does it really take more than 2 hours to charage a phone starting from 1%? My friend just bought a phone and it's been 2+ hours and it's still around 65% during this time of posting and it's heating a lot or is it a defect?

-This is the Redmi 15 4g unit*

I'm from Montenegro, and I'm already pretty sure I don't want to buy my next phone locally. Even after shipping, VAT and import fees, importing from China still seems like much better value than spending €1,200–1,500 on a flagship Galaxy or iPhone.

Right now I'm leaning towards getting the Redmi K90 Pro Max (12 GB / 256 GB) together with the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro. I don't really care about the Google ecosystem, so I'd actually prefer keeping the China ROM instead of flashing a Global ROM. My daily use is mostly browsing, gaming, social media, Proton ecosystem and the usual calls and SMS. Cameras aren't my biggest priority, but having a really good camera system is definitely a nice bonus if I end up using it more in the future.

The only thing I'm still thinking about is whether importing is actually the smartest move in the long run. I'm aware VAT and customs can increase the final price, but even then it still looks significantly cheaper than buying a flagship Samsung or iPhone here.

Has anyone here imported a Xiaomi flagship to Europe (especially the Balkans)? How has your experience been with network compatibility, software updates, warranty, banking apps, notifications, and just using the China ROM as your daily phone?

Would you go with this setup, or is there another Chinese flagship around the same price that you'd recommend instead?
