[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] JJeamy:
Really weird things..

I though your phone already loosing IMEI and mac address on it..i think that's cause by flashing wrong fastboot rom before..you can check it under about phone..after flashing try check it if your phone still has it or not..

Not sure about this if any different in this case..if you still wanna try it to flashing via fastboot mode..you must unlocking your bootloader first..after flashing latest developer fastboot rom..adding your mi account..then go to fastboot mode..then unlock it with miunlock tool..after that if success unlocked..you can try flashing through fastboot mode.

If still doesn't success...just like you said..just send it back your phone to the seller or services center to get fix it or replace the unit with new one.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Gamester87:
i dont lost imei i was just asking if ther is a method without loosing IMEI and WiFi.

The phone came with a shop rom i think. It was on MIUI ver. 8.0.1.0 but i couldn't update via updater. I always got the error " Couldn't boot to recovery mode " pretty strange. Thanks for help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Adarsh2000:
Will not the warranty be void after so many experiments on the device?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] JJeamy:
Nope..just telling them about wifi and bluetooth problem, and bootloader still in locked state..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] andersonaragao:
friend. dont send it back. I can solve it for you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Gamester87:
Thanks for the help. Now i have send it back it was bought on Ebay so no return cost.

Nevertheless Could you tell me how you would fix it. Just curious and maybe someone who is reading this thread later can solve the problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Gamester87:
andersonaragao has fixed my phone. Big thanks. I can recommend this guy he know what he is doing.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mscion:
Hi. Like many others, I'm quite interested in the Chinese version of the Mate 9 because of the option of 6GB ram and 128GB memory. As I would set language to English on phone I was wondering if Chinese characters still appear on various screens, like in settings or apps, even though the English language is selected? Is that the case with the International or Euro versions as well? If possible, could folks, with language set to English, show some screen shots to compare what appears on the screen using different models?

The other thing I was wondering is how does having 6GB of ram help improve performance. Is it noticeably better than the 4GB versions? Is the multitasking better? Maybe folks can compare how many apps can be run without the OS killing them off.

Appreciate you comments as it will help me decide which model to buy. Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
If you set the language to English, things showing in Chinese characters will not be a big problem. There are some Chinese language apps included with the Chinese version, but you probably won't use them, except one time to set up Google.

I only have the Chinese version, but there are a couple of people on this forum that have both. Hopefully they can answer your other questions.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mscion:
Thanks for your comments and your efforts here! I guess it would provide an opportunity to learn some Chinese! Do you notice any improvement with multitasking due to having 6GB ram? For example, I have a Note Edge and it has 3GB RAM. Once I start running about 5 or 6 apps the OS will kill some to make room for the next I run. About how many apps can you run in background without the OS killing an app. How Android handles multitasking has always been an issue for me. Although I hear it's better with MM or N as it does a better job of saving changes/settings when it does kill an app now. One more thing. Has the Chinese version received the recent update? Be nice to know how noticeable the camera improvements are. Thanks again!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gnasher666:
I'm not able to answer the multitasking part as I only have the 4GB Ram versions of both the international one and the chinese one, although I've never had any slow down nor do I notice any issues swapping between apps but I dare say I don't pay as much attention to it as you do.

The chinese version has received B136 recently, this included the notification updates like the international B126 but also enables the Google Framwork to be re-installed. I do notice some differences, the chinese phone dialer is annoying with it's Yellow Pages lookup - if you start entering numbers you get loads of suggestions appear in chinese. The other big difference is contacts, by default you cannot sync your Google contacts with the phone. I'm not sure if an app on the Huawei app store fixes this though as I've not looked yet. The other difference that I notice is the keyboard, when you enter a password, a different (password only?) keyboard is used which is not part of any keyboard you install (Swype, Swiftkey etc). I think that keyboard is part of their additional security suite installed on the chinese one.

With that said, I'm keeping the chinese one as it's in Mocha gold and I'm going to sell the international one as it's in champagne gold and I prefer Mocha :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mscion:
Thanks for your input! From what I can see the GMS installer fixes the contacts issue and presumably the phone dialler issue. Perhaps someone else can confirm.

In regards to multitasking, my experience was that if I put a file editor like Office Suite in background and run several apps and then return to the editor I found that my edits were not always saved. But I think android does a better better job of this in newer versions.

Wondering why you like the champagne gold more than the mocha gold. Is the champagne too glitzy? Just asking as I've never seen either up close. Thanks again!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mscion:
Well, call me crazy. I bought the Chinese one!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Seventhwave:
Just got the Chinese version MHA-L00 4/64 in mocha gold. Upgraded to B135 and installed GMS installer. Now be able to use google apps without issues except Google Now, which despite multiple downloading attempts cannot replace the default HUAWEI HOME launcher. Quite frustrating... Contacts and dialer fine.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mscion:
Hi. Sorry to hear you can't replace launcher. I've been using Total Launcher on my Note Edge for quite awhile. Takes a little work but I like how I can customize screen with it. Hope it will work. I've also ordered mocha gold. If you are in US can you comment which carrier you are on and data speeds? I'm on T-mobile and it appears that the phone has correct bands. But you never know!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] opasha:
If certain launchers aren't working for you, use Nova Launcher. It has a lot of Google's Nougat style implementations.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Seventhwave:
Yes I am in the States and I use H2O service which is a MVNO of ATT. The signal and speed are very satisfactory. Will post a speed test result later.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Thanks for the advice. Just downloaded Nova launcher and trying it. Somehow I found the phone tends to automatically switche default launcher back to HUAWEI HOME for some reason. Do not it is just mine or generally so...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mscion:
Thanks! Very encouraging. Looking forward to the speed test. I can switch to at&t if speeds aren't that great on tmobile.

In regards to the launcher, did you check in settings whether you can set what the default launcher is?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Seventhwave:
Tested at two different locations and the results were relatively consistent.

Yes I can see my default launcher options in the setting but somehow it automatically switches back after I chose Nova... really weird.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Seventhwave:
Now I can stably use Nova as my default launcher, but seems that I do not have something like the Now cards from Google Now, which is exactly the reason why I want to use Google Now launcher... need to play with the Nova launcher a little more.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Go into Gestures - Swipe Up - GOOGLE NOW - works like a charm and much faster. Also, if you hold the home button on any screen you or on, it will google search the most significant thing on the screen. It's highly customizable. That's why many of us have been using it for some time.

Also, thanks for the AT&T speed results. That is really comforting to see!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Seventhwave:
thanks. Worked for me to get Google now cards afte upgrading to premium. Will try the search trick.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] opasha:
You are most welcome. Glad to hear it. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mscion:
Thanks! This result is quite encouraging! Wonder if folks can do better around the US. I live just north of DC and can get a little more than 40mbps download speeds on tmobile using a Note Edge. Of course depends on location. Once I get my Mate 9 I'll post speeds.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] samvel2001:
Hi I just ordered Chinese version MHA-L00 6GB/128GB is there anyway you can test and let me know if you are getting an LTE connection in US, since based on my research Chinese version is not compatible with us LTE bands.

thank you in advance.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ba703863:
I have both US and Chinese mate 9. There are some differences.

1. US version has perfect google play service. All the google apps work fine. Chinese version requires the GMS to be installed by GMS installer. But google play store doesn't download sometimes until reboot. The google now launcher can't be set as default launcher, but after install the google now launcher, my google now app started to work. I believe system updates will fix everything.

2. Chinese version only allows Wechat and QQ to have 2 accounts, but international version allows facebook I believe.

3. Chinese version has more bloatware installed, US version is cleaner.

4. Chinese version has some super useful app like buddy help (remote control other huawei device), skytone (connect to 4G internationally without local sim card, etc). This is the main reason I use chinese model since I travel a lot.

In terms of color, Chinese has more choices. I am using gold chinese phone. My US model is black. I prefer black way more than gold.

In terms of connectivity, they are exactly the same.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sledgie:
Awesome, thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] samvel2001:
Just got my Chinese version tru black mate 9 MHA-L00 6GB/128GB, ready to answer any question. I am on AT&T and no issues with connectivity got 20mb down on 2 bars.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] samvel2001:
Please see the speed test result on AT&T with two bars only.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] MobileThrowAwayAcc:
Hey! You have exactly the version I'm looking to get ; where did you happen to find it online? Everywhere I've found this variant is priced around $800.

Did you have any issues setting up google services, apps, play store, etc?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] samvel2001:
I got it from aliexpress for 930 wich included sceeen protector (installed), protective case, flip case and talkband 2. I choose the black one since I think it is the most elegant one and have professional look. No issues with play store or services.

Placed the order on 17 and it delivered to me on 23rd. By DHL
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Sal_Al:
got exactly the same without the band. i use polar for my workout.

can you tell us if you are facing the same issues with social media apps not popping out messages unless the apps are open!!!
[Mate 8 General] gros31:
Well australias mainntelco has just turned off 2G networks. Is there anyway I can enable 3G on both sims. I can change the setting and force either card slot to be the 3G/4g one so it seems it's a software thing.

Cheers

I have a vendor ROM on my Mi Mix: MIUI Global 8.0.7.0.0 (MAHCNDI)

Has anyone else found this ROM on their phone?

It came with gapps installs and has been completely fine so far.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
which vendor did you get the device from? thanks
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] riz157:
Mine came with that firmware, got mine from HK.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] whatwhat1:
Ebay
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ChodTheWacko:
Here's a good question - how do you tell if there's any dodgy spyware or whatever installed on a vendor rom?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] omniphil:
I got mine from HK as well. Same ROM.

I just assumed it was the normal ROM that these phones came with..
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] whatwhat1:
Are you able to do any software updates?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] omniphil:
If I go into About Phone -> Software Updates, its does appear to check for updates and it tells me no updates are available...
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] whatwhat1:
Same for me. My concern is that I think there should be an update. That is not the latest software revision...
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ChodTheWacko:
From what I've read vendor roms have 5 digits, stock roms have 4 digit version numbers.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] talon1812:
I too, have this ROM. I've had this phone for 3 years and love the design. Just last week, the screen started separating from the frame on the right side of the phone. The flash doesn't work anymore and it has a small chip on the right top corner of the glass. I don't know how this happened because I take superlative care of my devices. Anyway, I tried to find another new one from a seller and I DID find one on DH Gate that was selling them brand new for $192. At first I thought it was a hoax, but I bought it and it was delivered on Thursday. Monday-Thursday from China to Texas. I always choose expedited shipping. DHL usually delivers in 2 days from China to Texas.

That being said, the new one had some strange developer ROM on it and I did root it, but was having issues with the original ROM, so I reverted back to an older version that could be rooted. I bought my original Mi Mix from a seller on E-bay named manysellok. I ordered about 10 phones from that seller, so I like to go with sellers that I have a good experience with. I just wrote the seller tonight on 6-7-2020 and told them about my situation. The new ROM had the Mi store and the THEMES app are both in Chinese. No matter what I do, I cannot make them display English.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Hangya1990:
Would you consider to sell your old MI MIX?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] talon1812:
I'm not sure if I want to sell it or not. The display on the old one is much brighter than the new one.

This was the most expensive phone that I ever bought. I paid like $725 for it. It's still very usable, just that flash issue and the screen separating on the right side. Honestly, I don't notice it unless I view it from the right side. Using the phone normally I don't even notice it. Other than those 3 issues, the phone is pristine. I never hold it to my ear, I always talk with bluetooth. And I have been a germaphobe for about 35 years now, way before the corona virus came out. When I buy a used phone, usually on E-bay, I'll wipe it down about 3 times with Clorox bleach foamer. Then use Clorox wipes, then finally with alcohol. I don't allow germs on my phones. I wasn't really thinking about selling it, but if you really needed one, I can point you to the seller that I bought my new one from. He's in China. Choose expedited shipping and he'll ship it Fed-Ex. I got mine 2 days after he shipped it and I live in Texas.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Konstantine34:
Im using my Mix since 01.2017, no any separation anywhere no flash issue, yours might be reacting to bleach/alcohol. But I guess there's a special glue for it. I'd say go for it.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] talon1812:
I didn't use all of the chemicals on this one because I bought it brand new.

I only do that with USED phones that I buy.

Check out the link I sent. He's a good seller and you'll get the new one fast with Fed-Ex.

I'm getting this weird 492 error when I try to update Google Play Services and none of the usual fixes are working. This is the second ROM that this is doing this to. Logcat attached.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nujackk:
Need to go to developer options>running services find and stop play store and play services, then look at top show cached processes do same thing. then exit out go to apps in settings find both and force stop hit it multiple times until it actually greys out. then under storage in play store just clear data in play services clear cache and manage space clear all data. reboot and open store will have to accept the Blah Blah Blah again but update should work after that.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] blackknightavalon:
No dice. Still getting 492.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] blackknightavalon:
Okay, what I did was wipe System, Data, both caches, and Internal Storage, flash ZAD Mix, downloaded apps, restored some apps with Titanium, problem seems to have cleared up. Running a batch restore and seeing if only the usual errors I get with hanging restores that can be cleared up with downloading the same app from Play come up.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Raistlin1:
I was in a department store and noticed while my XL was on a slight angle the screen had one decent scratch and several small scratches.

Normal straight on viewing they are not noticeable, only when directly under a light source and tilting screen. I have only had the phone a couple of weeks. Never dropped, never put in a bag, don't put it face down, nothing has touched the screen besides my fingers and a microfiber cloth.

I was going to skip the screen protector on this phone because most of them show fingerprints worse than the screen. And I think they can also ruin the coating on the screen. But I have already ordered the updated intelliglass protector for it, just need to install.

Anyone else notice this? Kinda sucks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ahent:
I noticed a small scratch on my screen the other day and put an updated Yootech TGSP on it. It covers all the usable screen and was easy to apply (I used the hinge method) and feels just like the Gorilla Glass screen to me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dermotti:
Updated yootech is great, rocking one also.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
Yep, when put under CFL or LED lamps them micro bruises become really visible. I never noticed that under standard tube lights or other sorts. I don't care about them as those are not visible under normal circumstances at all and it doesn't affect the display when its on in any way, but just using finger and washing the display with micro fibre cloth, hmm, that is kinda weird I suppose, or not, not sure really :p
