Hi,

1) Sites that are trusted are http://www.xiaomishop.com/ and http://www.ibuygou.com/

To name a few. I would recommend xiaomishop because you can choose to ship from Europe so you avoid customs, taxes etc

2) The phone will ship with normal MIUI which has Chinese or English language . If you want more languages see the multi rom version here http://xiaomi.eu/community/

3) Black was released in China only on the 28th of October. There is no date for international availability

4) For shipping, I would recommend http://www.xiaomishop.com/

Because they have a warehouse in Europe, make sure to choose that option to make thigns easier :good:

Hope I helped.

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi 4] phoenix10:
Thank you..

So there is no black version for other countries??

Also do you know vickomall. Com? It looks to have the best prices,
[Xiaomi Mi 4] 22sl22:
No black version in other countries, not yet.

Vickmall prices are the same as xiaomishop, 389 dollars. With Vickmall they are located in China so you will have to deal with customs and taxes whereas xiaomishop has a warehouse in europe so it will be easier for you :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 4] phoenix10:
But they want 35 euros for delivery, and that is ridiculous...

Is it still worth buying? I don't really care a lot about LTE. I was wondering if is still a good choice Mi4 64GB and how much should i pay for a second-hand ? 300€?
[Xiaomi Mi 4] P.Kosunen:
Yes it is worth byuing, i'm going to update my white to black version when i see good price. Don't care 4G either, all frequencies are not supported here so i'm not gonna pay extra for it.

I like especially display and camera, also speaker phone works very well compared to other phones i've had. MIUI v6 is still work in progress, but xiaomi.eu developer versions have been good enough for daily use, not major problems so far.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] toxic_garden:
absolutely! Been using it for a few weeks now and can't spot any disadvantage. Only the battery seems a bit weak, but up to now, i always got past one day without the need of recharging.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd540:
I'm new to this forum, so bear with me if I have created this in the wrong area.

I'm trying to un-brick a (I think 1st gen.) Kindle Fire HD with a Fastboot cable on a Mac.

All it does is stay at the KindleFire boot screen. At first I thought it was the battery so I replaced it but that didn't do the trick.

So, I got the fast boot cable and now I feel that I am lost within a sea of different methods and tool kits to try and get the device restored to factory settings.

I've gone through the process of downloading the Android SDK so I can get fastboot and adb.

When I connect the Kindle Fire to the fastboost USB to my Mac, it will go to the fastboot screen.

When I run

adb devices

it doesn't show that anything is connected.

However, if I run

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

it appears that it's connected via fastboot:

product: Tate-PVT-08
finished. total time: 0.000s

But I'm kinda lost after that. Seems like most of the guides out have a slew of different options and boot loaders and I'm not sure which one will get back to the default factory settings. Most of what I've seen is that you need to enable ADB on the device, but since I can't boot into the device, I'm not too sure what I need to do to get it to reset.

I've read through this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

but it says that it cannot recognize the device when I attempt to do this on Windows. And when I launch the device manager, it shows that it is connected as Kindle Fire as Android ADB Interface.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Kindle fire first gen and kindle fire HD are 2 different devices

From your fastboot devices reply looks like you have an HD, so do not use anything created for first gen.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode.

ADB commands only work in recovery and rom

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

Fastboot commands seem to be working fine so should just need to flash a bootloader and recovery.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke nytemare:
PLEASE IGNORE AS I HAVE MOVED THIS TO THE AT&T Specific NOTE 3 forum!

I have an AT&T Note 3. I was rooted using the KINGO app, but returned my phone to stock several weeks ago and the rom shows official and the knox count is 0. I am running the stock AT&T Note 3 Android 4.3

The other day, an official AT&T android update was pushed to my phone. The update bricked my phone and now I am unsure if I can even recover what was on my phone...or at the very least get it running again. For now, I am without a phone.

When I can get the phone to power up, the phone attempts to "Recovery Booting" (this is displayed in blue letters in the top left corner with the galaxy Note 3 Logo in the middle). It tries to install this AT&T update following the recovery wording when powering it on normally and when using Volume UP/Home/Power . The update progresses towards 100% then "completes" sometimes, but then the screen goes black and the phone does not start back up. I have to remove the battery for a period of time and replace to get the phone to do anything

I can get the phone to go into download mode (Volume down/Home/power), but my phone did not have USB debugging turned on the last time I was able to access the options, so it is not recognized by kies/odin, etc!

Even though their update caused the problem, AT&T wont help me (over the phone or at the store) as my phone is over a year old...their solution is to buy a new phone and plan :(

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Hi All,

With 4.4.4 I used to have no problems at all on my OPO getting music controls onto the lock screen.

However I am still on 4.4.4 (haven't made the jump yet) and recently my music controls have stopped appearing on lockscreen.

I'm sure it is something i have done but not sure what,

Google Play Music is my default music app

Lock Screen security is set to PIN/Quick Unlock

Custom Widgets on

Camera widget on

Maximise Widgets on

cLock with Clock/Alarm and Calendar (no weather)

Have i in advertidly stopped it or something? (although music still plays and bluetooth speaker can still control music)

Any pointers of how to get this working again would be awesome

Many thanks
[Sony Xperia ZR] w1040:
i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.

so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.

but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.

so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.

so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.

and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?

thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file

i gotta be honest, using .292 kernel has more battery drain than using .283 kernel. been using it for a week now.

the only advantage on using .292 kernel over .283 is that .292 offers slightly minimal lag than .283 but worst battery than .283 kernel
[Sony Xperia ZR] grizzlyspid86:
There's nothing wrong with the .292 kernel. Actually when using .292, the default governer change to ondemand. If u have root acess, change it back to interactive, then ur battery life became normal again.

I tried flashing 292 using OTA but the phone just went to the custom recovery and didn't install anything.

Do you know if exist any way (included xposed module) to disable the single tap on status bar.

For me this future is uncomfortable, because often when I call someone I have always the Notification turn on because of single tap on status bar (due to touch of my ear close the phone) and sometimes the call is closed.

i want to put the phone pad and t9 on it

can someone explain to me in plain english how to do this, as new to this.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] rjefferis:
me too

yeah i want to do this too. I was thinking of upgrading to dopod rom to get this but i want to be able to go back to the original orange one if i need to.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] rjefferis:
progress

Right i have been playing around tonight and this is what i have found.

Orange M700 with ext rom installed - phonepad installs but doesnt work

Orange M700 with ext not rom installed - phonepad installs but doesnt work

Orange M3100 with ext rom installed - phonepad installs but doesnt work

Orange M3100 with ext not rom installed - phonepad installs but AND WORKS

i can only assume that there is something in the m3100 ext rom that is stopping phonepad from working and that it must be natively there in the m700. I even tried my installing my m700 extrom on my m3100 and phonepad still worked after this.

So my conclusion is that there is some update or something in the m3100 extrom that is natively installed on the m700 that causes phonepad not to work.

this is about the end of the road for me, someone with more brains than me will have to take over.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] minkybunny:
never found out in the end how to do this, so i've now sent the phone back!

someone must know how to do this.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] rjefferis:
It has been on these forums for a while now. Me and the others who were looking for it all got ours sorted i think after someone told us how.

What i did was to

1. install G4 SIP software

2. soft reset

3. install phonepad, english or the multi language one.

4. soft reset

5. go into settings, sytem, and load G4 SIP hide. In there make phonepad the default.

Should all be done then.

Works everytime for me after i have hard reset. Which in the last few days has been quite a few as i have been testing things.

Hope this helps.

ps. works on hermes too.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] rjefferis:
oh and i notice that you have posted asking the same question in the other forum about this. Dont double post. What is the point in confusing the situation.

If you have installed the phonepad and you have installed g4 sip tweak and the phonepad will not show then i would have said you probably havent changed the default setting in g4 sip tweak.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] rekall:
OK apologies I was only asking a question. I have since hard reset my device and installed the SIP tool and phonepad as the first things. It now works OK. Thanks for your help.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] deech:
there is somthing inherently wrong with the Orange (out of the box) ROM, it can be made to work, however many have found it easier to change the rom for either MUN-RUS or LSVW's WM6 which have the phone pad built in, AND will let you select it and the change sticks.

As for warranty, I wouldnt worry, for 2 reasons, they are more likey to want the phone backa dn send you a replacement, and IF needs be there is an un-official Full Orange rom knocking around here in case you need to go back :)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] hollandg:
If you also install this file along with the G4 SIP tweak it seems to work consistanly, even after resets :)

oooo good work that man ;)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Davidsmonkeyroost:
Fixed! But how dumb...

Thanks for your additional tips.

I managed to get it to work in the end. Firstly I was using G4 SIP from program files, when I should have been going to it in Settings. This didn't fix it initially, just got me closer. Then I found out that if I use G4 SIP to hide everything BUT Phone Pad then Tada! it worked! I've unhidden the keyboard now and it will quite happily switch between the two. This ROM is a pain.... I will look into some of the WM6 ROMs kicking around and weigh up if it's going to be easy for me to flash it using Orange. Ta Muchly!

Looks like the back cover is easy to remove. Nothing attached to it so if there are 3rd party covers to be made. replacing it should be easy but may be a one time thing as not sure how well the back would stick again once the adhesive has been compromised.
[Nexus 6  General] jt3:
As I suspected, the qi charging coils are on the battery, not the back cover, which explains why some qi chargers are having difficulty with the N6, especially if it's in a case. The slight curve of the back, and that secondary cover mean that the coils will be a bit farther away from the charger as, say, those in a N5 would.

Also, no magnets (or even metal plates) around the qi charging coils. Now we know why the Nexus Charger won't stick to it (and why those mobile wireless charging docks won't hold it). Looks like there might be enough room to add some though, so that's one possibility.
[Nexus 6  General] cccoltsicehockey:
I am not even sure you would have to add magnets. You might be able to get away with putting some small metal plates under the back cover for the magnetic docks.
