[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] scdoyle:
I got mine from NIS Store http://nis-store.com/xiaomi-smartphones/xiaomi-mi-mix-4gb128gb-dual-sim-ceramic-black/

I paid a premium but I got it shortly after the release date and shipping was quick via DHL. I was a bit concerned due to lack of good reviews for that seller but service was smooth and phone arrived in sealed box.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Blackphantom:
Adding, thanks
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jimtim1980:
Wondamobile

I ordered mine from wondamobile

I paid a premium as well. I ordered it this past Sunday and its being delivered via dhl in the next few hours.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Blackphantom:
Adding, thanks. Kindly, once you get the phone confrim that everything is good with it so i can add a positive user feedback to the shop.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] kenny17430:
BTW I have ordered from ChinaDroid and already received the phone
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Blackphantom:
Noted
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
e-Bay is a viable option as well,I selected a seller that actually had stock & a long track record w/thousands of 5-Star ratings.

You're protected with PayPal,so,it's as worry-free as it gets.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Blackphantom:
I know, so are aliexpress and (eventually alibaba).

But since it's seller specific i decided to leave them out and focus on shop that have standalone sites.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] brambizimski:
My post from another thread
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Blackphantom:
Alright, gonna add a positive user feedback for gearbest.

Edit: Added processing times for the shops
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah,I didn't mention any one particular seller by name,as sellers come & go.

However,some here are concerned about some of these "standalone stores" using less than aboveboard tactics,in a sense selling to the highest offer,regardless of when one's order was placed.

At least w/e-Bay,you can choose a seller that actually has stock & have the protection of e-Bay/PayPal,more than what some of these stores practice.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Blackphantom:
I believe that most if not every store that was listed so far should accept paypal as payment method. While i agree that there were and probably still are sellers that do what you just mentioned (in fact, something similar happened to me last week, tho it was a local seller), ebay or aliexpress sellers could do the same thing, even if the phone is in stock.

I could list ebay and aliexpress sellers aswell, but as you mentioned yourself, they come and go with some exceptions.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
add flosmall....couple of folks I think on another thread mentioned this

https://flosmall.com/
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] audscott:
NIS Store gets my vote

Found them to be communicative and fair, although I did pay a premium for quick/USA access. Don't regret it for a minute.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Blackphantom:
Added

Added as positive user feedback.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] AyuCon:
I ordered from gearbest and ibuygou.com, but none of those have shipped it. I finally ordered from flosmall after they claimed they had it in stock. They shipped it two days later and it took 5 days ( over a weekend ) for it to arrive by DHL. Pretty perfect.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BrokenWall:
It is time for a new phone, my Moto X Style (Pure) on T-Mobile is getting a bit long in the tooth.

1) storage is only 16GB so even with the few apps I use, I have to clear cache to update apps (photos, videos, etc all goto the SD Card)

2) signal is crap at times and call quality suffers

3) Lenorola is starting to slack on Android update time frames, they use to be quick with the last two Moto X and now they are getting behind (even with security updates)

I am on T-Mobile and I mainly do alot of audio (BT), some pictures and video, and the rest is just FB, Email, Text, Web Browsing

My choices are to go with the V20 and root it to get a few apps that I need

or wait and order a Pixel XL (128GB) and ride the google update train again.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] RHall1340:
I was faced with the same decision.. 16GB is just a non-starter for me, and I couldn't wait for the 128GB version to become available. Also Google's hardware didn't completely impress me.. I picked up the V20 coming from the Note 7.. honestly my plan is to run with it until the Note 8 comes out more than likely. I think the Google phone will have a longer lifespan and obviously quicker updates.. but I needed a phone and couldn't wait for the 128GB version to come out. Also the price difference was pretty significant compared the Verizon's price on the V20.. so that was a factor as well.

Overall the V20 didn't 'wow' me like the Note 7 did.. but its still a very good phone and for the $650 or so I got it for I am happy.. I don't think the Pixel XL would have wowed me either to be honest after having the Note 7 though.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BrokenWall:
The last LG phone I had was the G4 and that was a bit of a let down.

Since I am on T-Mobile coming from a Moto X Pure (3rd Gen) I won't get any trade in value at all (keeping it as a backup)

It is $30 a month for the V20 on T-Mobile, or I buy the Pixel XL and get $325 in credit over 24 months which will take away some of the hit over time for the Pixel XL

I am leaning to the V20 right now, especially because of how on top of updates LG has appeared to become. I just hate the bloat, hopefully there are good fixes for that or someone later releasing a cleaned up stock rom
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ronattack:
I was faced with the same problem

Pick the Pixel for:

- better camera (especially video stabilization)

- fast updates and longer lifespan

- better one-handed usage

- fluid software experience

- looks (subjective I know, but I kinda like it and it has no camera hump)

Lg v20 for:

- removable battery

- better sound experience

- military grade drop protection

- manual camera mode if that's your thing

- expandable storage

- second screen is useful sometimes

I obviously went with the v20. Unlocked bootloader on T-Mobile and root on it fixes some software problems. Although I wouldn't complain if I had went with the Pixel either
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] AllGamer:
I'm currently facing the EXACT dilemma.

After reading your comments, I think I might pick up the T-mobile version of the V20 instead.

Since we still do not have an official V20 root for the Canadian model.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BrokenWall:
Looks like I am leaning to the V20 as well. Mainly for the camera, screen, audio.

Even if we get a stock cleaned up ROM later then it would be perfectly fine.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mahdibassam:
Not sure about your options in your part of the world, but here in New Zealand the pixel XL is $1400 while i bought the V20 for $900. So yea, no explanation needed :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jason504:
Pixel is a ugly ass phone.

---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

I loved my Nexus 6
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dakunclear:
I came from the nexus 6P which I loved to this phone and to honest I love the battery life and everything it has to offer so far. Up in Canada they are offering the B&O H3 headphones plus 200 off which was 799 for the whole package which is a wicked deal
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Pick_A_Name:
I have the Tmo V20 and I didn't feel like there was much bloat...well compared to AT&T's devices. Coming from the N7 my only gripe is the low light pictures come out gainier than the N7. I hated the edge screen on the N7 but I really dig the second screen on the V20. The screen isn't as saturated as an AMOLED screen, but in everyday use I don't notice it. Done call the V20 ugly, but I honestly love the looks. Of course most people throw a case on their device, so does that even matter?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] docwood2011:
If you listen to BT audio a lot stop hesitating and go get the LGv20 and grab a pair of BT headphones with Aptx support (lgv20 one of only a couple phones that support it.) I have these and they are awesome.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
Honestly paying that much for a mere 128 gb is outrageous. For $400-500 like the old Nexus phones... sure I might be convinced to give up the extensive list of V20 features some of which were not even present in the Note 7. I see the Pixel XL like the Android version of the IPhone 7's business model: add a camera that's nice but doesn't blow the others out of the water anymore, give it a short shelf life with limited storage and non-removable battery (so that you MUST upgrade after 12 months), put a lot of emphasis on zippy when the competition are pretty zippy already. Overall a pretty meh exterior design like the V20 and Iphone7. The Note is prettier but that finger print magnet back is a chore and I had enough of TouchWiz lagging down the experience compares to the V20.

I have a YouTube Red account. With a 250 GB Samsung micro SD ($70 eBay) and 64 GB on board I have so much content I don't know what do with.

I picked up two new TVs on black Friday. I use the V20 IR blaster with both. Same for the Kinivo HDMI splitter, no more fumbling with that little easy to lose clicker.

The V20 has Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, which the others don't have, is like one of the best V20 features. I use a 3.0 Anker PowerCore+ 10k mAh power bank ($40 Amazon) with an iOrange-E type C cable and the V20 absolutely flies from 40%-80%.

The second screen is probably the most useful feature I can switch to different songs on Amazon music app, use it as the zoom wheel in video recording, allows for more fluid app switching than interrupting the main screen just to use the multitasking soft button. And the quad DAC actually drives my V-Moda M100s. I wanted to test this against the Note 7 but the Fire Department said no can do homey. And rumor is no more headphone jack on new Samsungs. You'll have to spend $300 on Bluetooth Bose headphones with as good a sound as upper mid tier wired cans.

Honestly...even if V20, Note 7, iphone 7 and Pixel XL were all priced the same it would be a no brainer for me as far as useful features I rely on every day.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CharlzO_2000:
For me, it was a price per gb difference, and a looks thing. I came off an S6 Edge, and for me, the Pixel looks like an iPhone minus the home button. Yeah, it's on 7.1, and will get updates sooner (but I'm on Verizon so it's bound to be slower no matter which one). The smaller capacity model would never work for me, I download too many movies and stuff for that. My Edge was 64 and that was a decent balance between saving until I downloaded it off to the computer. Plus I get the expansion slot for more just because you never know. Could care less about the removable battery, but to some it's a plus. The camera seems to be subjective on video reviews, between people that prefer one over the other. I use a DSLR for anything important, so it's not a deal-breaker for me, and it takes pictures just fine for my eyes anyway. I didn't buy it as a camera, I bought it as a phone. And I know the LG G2 I had was rooted pretty quickly if memory serves, and just browsing seems like we've got a good group tackling that now (missed that on my S6). So in the end, the cost savings, and the aesthetics won me over between the two, with everything else basically being a wash either way. Plus, coming from the other phone, every time a gal looks at it, they always seem to say "Wow that's big". Simple pleasures, but it never gets old :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
By the way, NetFlix now has downloads. As does Amazon video and YouTube Red. I see no win with a phone that kills micro SD.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mahendra Dhaker:
I bought V20. And I love myself for that decision.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mookiexl:
Believe it or not I returned the S8 and got mine. I'm freakin stoked by what LG has to offer. This my 1st non samsung phone and its rooted.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dakunclear:
I ended up selling my V20 it was glitch fest everywhere even after several factory resets and the batter drain was bad.....I do miss the extra camera and the DAC but outside of that I love the S8+. This is my first Samsung phone since the note 3.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] qs504792:
I am kind of on the same page. I jumped on the v20 from a note 4. My note 4 had less bugs, better battery life, and a better screen. "Auto" picture quality was much better on the note.

Things i will miss about the V20/Pros

~ Full manual camera controls and the wide angle lens

~ DAC

~ Second display

~ Build Quality

~ Removable Battery

***Biggest complaint by far is Battery life.. From my Pokemon Go experience specifically, my Girlfriend has a iPhone 6s. My note 4 battery life was better than hers. My V20 is literally half that of hers now. Same apps installed across both phones. Phone gets HOT.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ganesh.htc:
Hi

I don't have tmobile network at my work location

So before I enter into office I enable call forwarding to my Google voice number so that my calls will get forwarded and I can receive calls from Hangouts app.

Unfortunately I'm not getting any calls on Hangouts..

This used to work fine on my old Galaxy Note II.

I wish they implement wifi calling soon..

Any suggestions. Please help me
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emtownsend:
This works fine for me. I find that the settings on Google's voice site are confusing. Did you change anything there?

Also, you need to call forward your calls in the initial setup. Was this done?

EDIT: Oh, I see you want to take calls in Hangouts... That I do not do. I just get my VM handled by Google.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
Check your power management settings. It sounds like the overly aggressive PM is not allowing notifications from google services and/or hangouts. Might be suspending those services/apps too.

I haven't had time to delve deep into this to figure out, but there's a few threads about similar issues where the cause was the power management. Certain apps/services will have to be white listed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ganesh.htc:
Thanks for the suggestion

I will look into PM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ganesh.htc:
I'm able to get calls now thanks
[Pebble] jmunr017:
Although I don't currently possess the skills contribute to the development of a custom OS or update patches, I do plan to learn and am very willing donate to those who are willing to keep our Pebbles alive and relevant well into the future.

Kudos to all that are ready, capable and willing to tackle the challenge. I am almost certain that I am not alone in these sentiments.

Update (2016-12-16):

A former Pebble employee has created a script to all the mass export of folk's apps and will, once the servers go down, start a new instance to allow the bulk import of all that app development. (Bulk CloudPebble Project Export - https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/5h61om/bulk_cloudpebble_project_export/)

Also, a free PDF of "Learning C with Pebble" is available and I hope to dive into it soon. (Pick up your free copy of the Book "Learning C with Pebble" - https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/5h6s1s/pick_up_your_free_copy_of_the_book_learning_c/)

All the best!
[Pebble] Zak108:
Hear hear... I'm sure the fans and users will keep the pebble alive.
[Pebble] vizdak:
I'm hoping that pebble users will fight back by keeping our pebbles alive for a long time.
[Pebble] kparikh82276:
I'm saddened immensely. ?

I got the very first pebble. I loved it and I was a Kickstart backer for pebble time.

I was in total shock when I first learned of pebble discontinuation. I was in shocked.

Why was this. It makes no sense.

So we will have a watch and it won't be supported. Essentially we'll have a device that will be frozen in time and will no longer be updated and that's it. Done.

This totally sucks.

I'm never going to purchase anything from Kickstarter period there's no sustainable value to back them up.

Very upset, and disheartened

[Pebble] jerryhou85:
Fitbit has got most IP of Pebble software, it depends on them to release or not the source code for Pebble hardware, I think?
[Pebble] crisagatie:
Fitbit bought Pebble precisely to kill it. There won't be any pebble development, source code or anything else. Pebble does not exists anymore, Fitbit only acquired some brains and intelectual property, not the brand, the products or commitments to existing customers. Effectively yesterday, there is no pebble. Even the app, if you reinstall clean on a new phone, you will notice there is no login to pebble account, because there isn't any. It will configure as a local app with google fit sync, but int's only one way sync, from the app to google fit, not the other way arround.

It is sad, but as many things in tech world today, you are not buying a product, you are buying associated services, and these can disappears unexpectedly. Then the product becomes just a piece of black plastic or, if lucky a pretty expensive electronic watch.
[Pebble] jmunr017:
I respectfully disagree that there won't be any development. There is a strong community of users to find new innovative ways to keep legacy devices alive. It's the driving force of XDA and what brings a lot of us here.

Here's an exchange that I had with a Pebble app developer after I just donated to him for his watchface.

I wrote, "Please keep writing apps for Pebble! It can use all the developer support it can get now. Thanks so much!"

And he replied, "Thank you so much for your support! And yes I won't stop! Like Katharine (former head of Pebble dev team) put it: "We will keep coding for these Pebbles until batteries die!""

TL;DR - there's still a future for Pebble watches.
[Pebble] crisagatie:
Sorry, I meant official development. Of course community will keep things going for as long as possible. But already is a thread on Reddit and users report devs withdrawing apps from pebble app store. The store will probably be gone soon, as nobody will pay for cloud services and server side functionality will phase out. It will not be instant, but unless some entity will not see the business benefits of keep going (and that means money), it will eventually die.
[Pebble] liquidguru:
I installed the Pebble app 2 days ago, for the first time. It let me create an account, no problem
[Pebble] jpfx:
^ this. created new account and logged in fine.
[Pebble] bradyarz:
Don't you think that's a little extreme? They had a good, long run, and then they were acquired by another company. Neither you nor they nor anybody else could have predicted how this went down back when they got going. I hope you do continue to support new technologies - it's the only way we'll move forward.
[Pebble] kparikh82276:
It may be extreme, but they developed a movement then sold it. So now the pebble os is more..

In few months to years.... What am I going to do with my pebbles.... They won't be useful with newer versions of OS

It just was very disappointing. So that is why I will not hold my breath for a Kickstarter company. Pebble was a trailblazer but how they fizzled.... I'm still trying to wrap my head around this
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Ashk91:
There is one application that estimates you battery health and size after a charging session, it keeps telling me that my phone is 3799 aka 3800 not 4000, can any of double-check? It's called accubattery on the playstore.. Is there any other app that can do that so I can recheck
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] blackspp:
I guess some models were released with lower capacity batteries which means you're doomed.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Ashk91:
It says 4000 on the box, im just worried it's a bad battery
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] blackspp:
You're probably fine, have you tried another app to check? I'm using aida64 and it reports 3900 mAh
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
Batteries are not a precisely defined size. It's not like they are machined out of some material to an exact size. They are a bunch of messy chemicals and there will always be some variation in capacity.

It's up to the manufacturer's honesty whether they specify the minimum or average or maximum capacity.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Ashk91:
I tried Aida, it gives me 3900 too, but the app im talking about measures it after a charge
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Ashk91:
Maybe yeah, but 200 mah is too much, when my s7 edge was 3680, even more than advertised
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Ashk91:
So you guys don't think it's a defect or something? Worth checking out?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
I doubt it's accurate. On my current phone which is over three years old it says the capacity is still 3000 mah like the day I bought it. That would be an incredible feat but very doubtful.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] blackspp:
Your battery is fine, don't worry about it.

If it shows 3400 mAh in a few months, well...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Ashk91:
Thank you guys, I'll keep it and keep checking every month, if its getting worse then I can always check with my warranty provider
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Reitou:
Same here. At the moment accubattery is reading my battery at 3741mah 94% life.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] bimmerboii:
I use the same app for all my Android devices (I set a charging limit alarm to 80%). In the first couple of days I had my Mate 9 Accubattery was reporting 3920 mAh. I uninstalled and reinstalled it thinking there was something wrong. Then the next time I installed it it was reporting lower capacity of 38xx mAh. So I just ignored it and let it run. A few more days go by i randomly checked it and now its showing 4002 mAh 100% health. So I think it has a break in or calibration period for it to properly detect the actual size of the battery

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

There is a reason for that and the explanation can be found in the app itself. Some manufacturers report a lower size battery than the actual battery size. Therefore you see the health is still at 100% although it already has degraded.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ilbambino:
My battery shows 3850 and 100% life battery since the first day I got the phone. It last 2.5 days with medium/high usage. it took me a while to optimize all the apps I have installed in the phone tho.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
in my understanding the number that gets reported to the app isnt the real capacity but the capacity keyed in to the Kernal file. Nothing to worry about guys.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Reitou:
Mine is still only takes around 3750mah worth of charge using Accubattery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tkalfaoglu:
I remember some blurb that battery manufacturers have some %10 or so leeway in what the battery actually delivers versus what's written on it.. I wouldn't worry about it; what's 200 mAH between friends?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Reitou223:
I did speak with the Huawei support center regarding my battery only taking around 3700mah charge and they informed me that it's normal and it's for backup.

That does not make a lot of sense but I do understand there are manufacturing tolerances. The battery in the mate 9 is rated for 3900mah with a typical capacity of 4000mah. So going from 3900 to 3722 on my last benchmark charge isn't to bad.
