ordered on 2/12/2016 on gearbest, not here yet.

last traking message says information send to italy on 08/12/2016.

I'm thinking they lost it
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] ellesmeer:
Has any one received it from pre-order at Gearbest in US or Canada? I placed my order on the 8th November of 2016, but order status is still in processing. It does look that Some Europeans already received it that was pre-ordered from Gearbest.

Mine was shipped 13/12 still nothing.EDIT : Ah didn't DHL it, they advised china post due to import duty, would of rather paid it than wait longer. They have stood by the original price so next order I make will be through them.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] shangostar:
They advised that with me, which I agreed to but sent by DHL anyway, was only 19 quid and no VAT

If your going to root should have the benefit of Bootloader already unlocked, mine was.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] james1089:
Mine is apparently coming via Yodel, think I got a long wait, might not root till alternative roms appear , have you got global edition?

Hey guys... Have been lurking since long and finally decided on buying the Xiaomi Mi Mix... Am planning on buying through Chinavasion as the same ships to India and informs of a ready stock... As such just wanted to confirm if the seller is good.. and anything else I need to look out for ...??
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] satishp:
Yeah. Chinavasion is really good. Ships in 1 day. You can choose DHL or any other express shipping and you should receive it in about 3days. Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit25:
If you ordered as well or imported the Mi Mix .. could you please let me know the customs amount that was paid for importing the same....
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] satishp:
I am not in India mate. Customs charges in India varies from case to case. Two people are almost never charged the same amount of duty and taxes for for importing the same item. It depends on factors like:

a.) The custom's personnel who is processing your shipment.

b.) Whether he agrees with the value declared by the shipper.

c.) If not, the value he estimates for the item. This again depends on how the value of the irem is assessed. Some may take the price on the Xiaomi website, i.e 3999yuan while others can estimate the value from any other shopping sites like ebay. They may also check whether the item is available in India and what is the average price in the Indian market. Usually they set a value depending on the "perceived" value in India. This is how they do it in most cases.

Unlike most other countries, there is no way to approximately calculate Indian customs charges. I once had to pay around 1000rupees import charges for importing a 3$ tempered glass screen protector. And another time, I had to ship a laptop I "bought from India" back for repair and they charged me despite the fact that the item was purchased in India. Indian Customs is like that. Getting a refund of duties or taxes paid are almost impossible due to the high degree of corruption in the system. So it greatly depends on your luck on how much you will have to pay as import duties.

For mobiles, you can expect to pay around 8-12K approx. And make sure you choose a good shipping agent like DHL or Fedex. Don't select free shipping or standard airmail. If its via post, it will take ages to clear and you have to contact customs directly (usually by post) which takes a lifetime. Carriers like DHL do the clearance for you to meet their delivery targets. So it is safer and faster. You will be paying DHL the customs charges as well as their own Customs processing fee upon delivery.

You can also check out Flosmall as they offer some sort of customs insurance, where they refund you the duties and taxes you paid to customs within 1day provided you mail them the invoice provided by customs. But I'm not sure whether it applies to Indian buyers as well. They say its for EU. Check with their support.

Placed and order from Chinavasion on the 1th of January. Chinavasion shipped it late on the 3rd of January. It arrived in Sweden on the 5th, but DHL was a bit slow. Got it yesterday (9th).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChodTheWacko:
Finally had to use a paypal claim in order to get a refund from Geekbuying. They were refusing to refund me, nor

were they shipping phones they clearly had. I'll never order from them again, what a pain.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hogun:
I might have to do the same - I read the "Where to buy" post, neglected to search the rest of the thread (doh!), and placed my order at Geekbuying on 1/9/2017. It's been processing ever since. They do state that it can take 2-7 business days, so I'll give them that time before cancelling and going with Chinavision. I'll keep y'all updated.

1/19 edit: Geekbuying shipped today. Slow, but at least the phone is headed my way. For people reading this, it still sounds like Chinavision is the better option.

Did you use everroot option of flashfire? Which is still using su v2.78 SR1? I thought we would have needed SR4 for 7.1.

I need to make some backups and probably will flash this version on Thursday!

Made backups today (23/11) and successfully flash it! OP update with links!

I flashed it a few minutes ago over stock 7.0 without wiping data and it seems to be the fastes and smoothest experience I ever had with this device. Can't say much more and didn't try to root, but I switched a few times between my two users und it's still fast and smooth. After switching between my users for two times with 7.0 a reboot was much needed! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaju123:
Mine is stuck at booting animation. No idea why :( first time this has happened to me before. Or does it just take like 20 minutes on first boot or what?

I flashed it manually through fastboot like normal.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
20 minutes is too long. Have you tried to just power off then on? Sometimes, that's all it takes. It's happened to me but not for this flash.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatthewPresley:
seems way faster than 7.0 so far.... I just did a full reset on 7.0 a week ago and experience immediate lag after I installed my apps. I flashed the 7.1 dev image today and went through the same process. So far so good. I'll report back after a couple of weeks of usage.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
Did anyone enrolled in the beta program get the OTA yet ?

Previously I got it the same day an announcement was made. Nothing received yet. As a matter of fact, I didn't even receive the November security update this month.. Never rooted, never modified.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fazbender:
Had to post. Clean flashed new preview , temp boot of twrp to flash latest SU (SR4) for root and set up as new device. Best google effort yet! No problems adjusting build prop to enable assistant and both Pixel and Nova Launchers are go as is new systemless option adaway. Couldn't help notice how responsive UI is and chrome is stable for me 4-5 tabs in using sites like fark.com and no/very few redraws after pushing the tablet with moderate demands. Looking forward to the December release, noticed USB charging was still fairly slow still, hopefully the batt life is ok too. Go Google, they might just catch up to Craig's AOSP version/kernel performance if they're not careful !

Disable some app not use, very smooth
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gold Ribbed:
Same here. My device is enrolled but no update. I had to manually flash the November update. I did wonder if it was anything to do with flashing custom Roms. I am on full stock Google image but no update yet.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
I never flashed a custom rom on my N9 nor has it ever been rooted. Still haven't received Nov update nor the Beta program update.

If you flash a factory image then you are fully stock and you should receive all updates from google.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbtree98:
Has anyone received the ota yet? Or is google only doing a factory image this time for some reason?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gold Ribbed:
Just manually flashed the stock preview. Much better than the stock 7.0 which is virtually unusable . This preview is solid and stable..
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
One of the main benefits of enrolling in the beta program was to be able to get OTA updates and not lose your data. Other devices in the program have received the OTA. Disappointing that the N9 hasn't to this date.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
You can flash factory images without affecting your data partition. It is called "dirty flashing" for a reason.

My device has been through loads of updates, + the previous Preview images, by that method!

Checkout "Flashfire" app!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
I realize this is the wrong thread for this discussion but to conclude. I'm not rooted and choose not to go down that path. My last comment still stands.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
It is also possible to flash factory images with fastboot without wiping data.

Flashfire is just a convenient app for doing it (with needing a computer) for people who are rooted.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jychan28:
English problem ?!

I thought the word "less" in the original context means iPhone is lower value or less usefulness or less functionality or less features or less programability or less satisfaction for "flash-a-holics"or ....... something that is highly subjective and NOT price or cost comparison which is so objective. If anyone has to argue which one cost less, it just shows he didn't spend any effort to think through and use a calculator and that is fairly pointless to discuss in this forum.:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
I am copying this from Musicman, from the original thread on this subject:

This may help most of you. The iCube is NOT a program. It is a skin for the HTC Touch Cube. If you do not already have the HTC Touch Cube Built in to your device, then this will do nothing for you.

Second, this was made for and tested on ONLY the Sprint Touch, which is the HTC Vogue. The GSM Touch has a different Cube entirely and calls on different images for it to work. If someone would like to send me their registry entries for the GSM Touch I wouldn't mind taking a look at it to see if it would be possible to port over to the HTC Touch, but for now this is only confirmed working on the Sprint Touch (HTC Vogue).

Thirdly, yes, this must be installed to the device. Basically what the CAB does is create and change registry entries as well as put files into the main memory. The registry makes calls to the main memory, so if the files are not there it will error out. I'll look into making an install to card version, but I would need to know what the device calls the card (ie Storage Card, Card, memory, Speicherkarte, etc.).

On another note, I have heard a rumor that a program to install the HTC Cube on non-Cube devices may be coming out shortly, and that it will be compatible with this skin and others available for the Sprint Touch (HTC Vogue).

I tried to install this on Kaiser, and after doing all the steps I went to open the program, and nothing happenned. I uninstalled it, and everytime I reset the Kaiser, I get a stupid message "The file SideSound Service cannot be opened..."

HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS?

Any help would be appreciated!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
So far, the only way that I found to remove the signal was to reinstall the iCube, even though there is no way that I can make it work. Rather not amusing......I am writing this as a caution to others.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hasnol143:
I recently purchased a used oneplus 3, Everything is working fine except the wifi. I'm having a lot of problems connecting to WiFI networks, especially 5ghz networks. I have tried at home and at work, the problem persists on multiple wifis. It even fails to find networks, and when it does find one and connect to it, speeds are very slow and the signal is very weak.

To make it work somewhat at home, I had to manually try multiple 5ghz channels until I found one that worked. But even then, the connection was poor and slow. 2.4 Ghz is not an option for me as I live in apartment building which makes it unusable.

I have tried factory resetting the device from recovery, but the problem is still there.

I am on stock OOS 3.2.7.

Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

I'm a big phone junkie. Would like to try various phones. Used bb10 for a long time and since then I've tried many android phones before settling down on the new BlackBerry dtek50. Big fan of BlackBerry android features such as hub, productivity tab, swipe up short cuts etc.

Is it worth getting the honor 8 in my case? Not a big gamer - heavy business's user with phone, email, text and browsing. I'll probably miss the BlackBerry features a lot. But reviews for this phone is pretty good. Would u guys recommend this?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] texanman:
I am going from a Nexus 6p to this phone. After it updates with the latest FW its actually not a bad device. A lot of reviewers highlight problems that are now fixed such as the backlight and a few interface glitches. The audio is not as good as my 6p headphone wise but it is live withable. I am thinking if I root it and see if viper audio loads it may fix that issue. The fingerprint reader works faster then on my n6p however it does have to be more on the reader (my 6p would unlock if I had half my finger on the sensor) but also acts as a button and swipe commands.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
Oh... Then Honor 8 is the right one.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] evilpaul13:
This is purely speculation, but I'd guess they'll roll out EMUI 5/Nougat for everyone in a month or two. The US closed beta has already started and I really like the changes. There's one going on in India and China as well.

My biggest reservation when picking up the phone a little under two months ago was the software. Reviews made EMUI 4.1 sound like the worst thing ever. I wasn't a huge fan of the task switcher which scrolls horizontally and shows the recently run apps as unstacked screenshots with a tendency (for me at least) to overscroll when I just wanted to move one to the left or right, but it worked well enough. The notification shade is also split between a left tab with notifications and a right tab with settings. You can swipe left or right on the opened shade to go between the two and there's an option to pick which you want to access by which side of the top of the screen you swipe down from. But I have tiny, Trump-like hands, so I use the swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to access it usually. Accessing it that way will open it to the left tab with notifications if you have any currently, but defaults to the right quick toggle options for WiFi, NFC, flashlight/torch, etc if you do not. I don't think it was the best way to set that up, but I pretty quickly got used to it.

You also have to manually whitelist apps you want to have continue running when the screen is turned off and enable notifications to show up on the lock screen. The average person might have trouble with this, but I'd think most people reading this forum either figured it out for themselves or you can just post here and ask how to do it (there's already a couple threads on it).

If you do pick up an Honor 8 I'd recommend a case and screen protector as I find it rather slippery without one.

As was previously suggested I'd try the phone out in Best Buy and see if you like it. Now's a good time to buy one if you do as there's a bunch of sales going on. Overall, I really like the phone and the EMUI 5 update has made it even better.

Does anyone know how accurate the altimeter is?

Every time a do a manual calibration, the new value is way off from the old value. Several dozen feet sometimes.

Has anyone tested it for accuracy?
[Samsung Gear S3] _Nexus8_:
I got the same problem too

And I'm in the same situation as you, I'm searching if anyone tested the accuracy of the altimeter :/

When I refresh the altitude at home, I get 130ft. Checking my elevation against a geological survey source, I get 136ft.

Good enough for me :)
[Samsung Gear S3] Ljusalfheim:
Reality test

I was skydiving yesterday and tested my Gear S3 Classic along with 2 specialised altimeters: Barigo and Neoxs.

Tried 2 apps: native baro-altimeter and Skydive altimeter metric by Jean-David Hsu.

Manual calibration and altitude set to 0 beforehand.

Below is the link to the video

https://youtu.be/Sofblyrn2FQ
[Samsung Gear S3] reviad:
So it is off at times? It is hard to see the reading in the watch in the video :P
[Samsung Gear S3] Ljusalfheim:
No, the app keeps the screen alive all the time. The hand on the watch face is visible all through the jump. I put some magnifying screen shots in for better perception. Try watch the vid on PC. Must be OK.
[Samsung Gear S3] reviad:
Sorry, what I meant by "it is off at times" is that it is not always accurate? I could see that the watch was on, but it was hard to tell if was the same reading as the "real" altimeter.
[Samsung Gear S3] Ljusalfheim:
I should say it IS accurate! In most cases Gear S3 performed better than Neoxs (professional skydiving altimeter). Screen shots show that the difference between Barigo and Gear is minuscule and Neoxs is approximately 100 meters wrong at times.

So, I was pleasantly surprised. The watch rocks and no mistake!
[Samsung Gear S3] Ryland Johnson:
I live 200M from the coast. Setting up the Gear was easy at sea level from then on mine has been as accurate as can be expected for this type of device.

I have owned nearly every smart watch available being a watch nut and can say to date the S3 is my favorite of this type of watch. Very well made and in general a quality advanced piece of micro engineering. One to be proud of.

Ryland
[Samsung Gear S3] fastmike:
The altimeter on the S3 is a fake, same as barometer. To prove it, just disconnect the watch from your phone and prevent internet access. Data will then be totally inaccurate with huge variation during the day even if staying at exact same spot.

Samsung is just using the GPS data location to get more accurate values, but wht is inside the S3 is dumb
[Samsung Gear S3] Ljusalfheim:
Sorry but you are totally and entirely wrong. See my video (link is above). There was no phone and Internet in the sky with me.
