Thank you brother, I did not hear any issues in your video recording. But the youtube review certainly had some issues right?

What is your experience with the mic quality and call experience?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] grof1985:
Great experience so far... Really loud and clear voices.

Btw, YouTube let me watch only 480p, not full HD

Can you share the link to the product please?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klanac89:
Sure not, because the video is useless.

He record something inside, in front of the source...

Mic is trash, like on the Mi Mix 2s. It's behind a Redmi Note 5.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] grof1985:
Mic is not trash. Do you have any of those 2 phones? I believe not. And, btw, when you record something, u record it from 100m, not closer?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klanac89:
I don't work for Xiaomi and I don't care about Xiaomi but dude, be fair.

https://youtu.be/alTM9pLU6Q8

This is a brand new video, so Note 5 last firmware and Mix 2s last firmware.

Watch few sec and than skip to 1:20 min.

When you now look on the MIUI Forum and read "the mic is bad like on Mix 2s" you don't need to know more.

You got a lot of reviews and they also sad the mic need a update but like on the Mix 2s.

Indoor with one source means nothing. Any phone will recore good but check this

I don't work for Xiaomi neither. I've just ordered phone online, got it, and that's it. Before this I had note 4g and mi5, both excellent phones for their prices. But this one is whole new level... And P20pro has by far the best camera on any smartphone today, so to be better in every aspect is expected.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ferraript:
it's not trash, it's the sound of the nearby water in the fountain

both phones handle it in different way - closer sources sound louder than the distant ones in Huawei while in Xiaomi they are at the same level

I can clearly imagine situation when first option is better just like when second option is better

but of course I agree that the recorded audio quality could be better in Mi 8

by the way, this thread is called "Places to buy from" so all these posts are off-topic

obviously this is the chinese version, so you need to unlock the bootloader (15 days wait) and flash the global rom.

still, this is a killer deal in my opinion. most other sites sell it for 450

well, if you're in a european country that charges duties, better order from sites that ship from within europe... an example would be Gearbest EU shipping option etc.

Ebay seller shipping from France Mi8 6/128 variant for 385€ (near stock price as it cost 2999CNY if you buy it directly from xiaomi - might be a pricing error as this could definitely sell for 485€, but then again the seller is reputable and you are paying with Paypal so worst case you get a refund), plus if you buy from the android ebay app you can use the code

MITAPPEBAY18

for a 15% discount

for a final price of 327.25€

(the code works from the Italian ebay store, don't know if it is country specific and you have another code for your country), that's definitely an awesome price for what you are getting (white variant only tho)

as of me posting right now there are only 3 left so I would grab it quickly

EDIT: the seller has updated the listing adding 2 more units for sale (now at 5) without changing the pricing so presumably that is not a pricing mistake (tho I fail to understand how they could make a profit after Ebay takes their 10-20% cut, buying it in china directly from xiaomi would cost you ~380 Euro...)

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Superbia:
I got mine from Honorbuy. 508€ for the 256gb model, 22€ DHL shipping. Ordered the phone Sunday evening and was unlocking the bootloader Tuesday afternoon so about 1 day DHL shipping, very good for the price.

The phone is chinese model of course, box was opened and google play was installed. There was also a chinese to EU power socket adapter free of charge on in the package. Should note that there was no paperwork at all in the package. I don't know if it's phone or account related but I could unlock bootloader as soon as it arrived, no waiting time whatsoever. But my friend ordering a 64gb model at the same time had to wait the 360hours to unlock his.

I would really recommend this seller from my experience but I know many have complained about them.

How are they selling it for so low? Xiaomi says that it costs ~ $425 but all these stores sell for far less. What's the catch?

Btw, the MI Store in aliexpress is selling the white version for $372. They are shipping it for free in DHL to United States. How are all these shops able to sell it for less? I am happy if it's legit... Anyone bought from MI store in aliexpress?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liorderei:
I would never recommend something that I'm not sure about 100 per cent. I know plenty of people who ordered it, got it and confirmed that it's working as it should.

It's only drawback is that it's the Chinese version, which means you have to unlock the bootloader in order to get the global rom ad you probably know.

Regarding why is it so cheap, I don't have answers for you, but it is and it's ok.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RainGater:
Well, I am not implying that the store that you posted is not legit and I am sure it is but I am a little cautious. It's just that all the other places are selling it far higher and the next lowest is the MI Store in aliexpress.

As it is, the device is very cheap compared to OP6 and a mind blowing deal when you pit it against other flagships.

Btw, the MI Store in aliexpress already unlocks the bootloader and they flash the global ROM. Maybe, I will bite and buy it from them. I guess it's going to be my first MI device from aliexpress (first time there too). And, Ebates has a nice 3% off along with aliexpress giving $6 for the new user (they give $10 and split into two codes: $6 and $4 for two different orders). Altogether comes to about $352 after the discounts... Stellar deal!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekc_1971:
I purchased the advertised as "Global" edition Xiaomi mi 8 6GB/128GB from GeekBuying.com. I received a Chinese version with unlocked bootloader, and the box was obviously used, it was not sealed, not plastic wrap. So I'm sending the phone back. As you can see from the video below the Global edition sold in Greece an Cyprus has a red indication on the box. If they have a Global version or at least Chinese version brand new phone it's OK. if they don't I will ask for a full refund. The customer service is awful, when you want to send back an item or express your complains. GeekBuying is a NO NO for me.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Nom86:
Hello everyone,

first of all let me thank you for the splendid work you are all doing with mods, custom roms, guides to set up everything you could ever dream of. I appreciate it.

I have purchased a new Galaxy S9 the other day and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to stop this pesky screen from turning on every time I put it on a chargepad or plug it in.

Especially when I am looking at the screen while plopping it down and then it face unlocks and I have to press the screen off button to turn it off...

In the past I used a Galaxy S6, 7.0 stock rom with aldeon kernel, magisk and xposed systemless. The module "All my..." provided a switch to turn off "Wake on charge". But this seems to no longer do anything for me in Oreo on the S9.

I also tried "Xposed addition" but as soon as I activate that module and restart, my S9 bootloops on the Samsung logo.

I am using Galaxy S9 Equinox Duos, Stock 8.0.0 ROM, unlocked OEM, flashed TWRP with Odin, then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0.zip, Magisk-v16.3-modifié-jesec.zip and installed xposed as a Magisk module.

By the way, dunno if that is important: After doing all that, the OEM unlock option doesn't stay on... But the device reboots just fine and root is working as it should. If I wanna reenable that it will factory reset my device again and next time I install magisk and no-verity, it is off again... Guess I just leave it as is then? Custom recovery and root are working, so... Dunno?! ^^
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Ryank02:
Equinox? lol.

Anyways, to disable the wake on charge, the best way is probably to use a custom rom that has that feature.

About the oem unlock toggle, after you're rooted, it will show up as disabled (mine does it too) but I recommend not to touch it (who knows what happens when you 'enable' it again lol)

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSlaker:
I received my Shield TV to replace my Amazon Fire TV 4K a couple days ago and have been reading and reading about surround sound issues online. Nothing I found relates to the 2017 model running Android 7.

A lot of those who offered help were quick to jump to the cabling situation. HDMI, optical, connected to the TV, connected to home theatre amplifier. Well, I tried them all.

How it was set up with Amazon Fire TV:

AFT -> HDMI Switch -> TV -> Optical to amplifier

with this set up I'd get only DD, I think. I don't remember ever seeing DD+ or DTS even with Kodi passthrough. I'd get 5.1 from both Netflix and Amazon Prime.

How I first tried with Nvdia Shield:

Shield -> HDMI Switch -> TV -> Optical to amplifier

like this I didn't get DD through Amazon nor Netflix. Worked on Kodi.

Then I tried:

Shield -> TV -> Optical to amplifier

still no 5.1 from Netflix or Amazon. At least DD reached the amplifer. Not sure about DTS.

What is like now:

Shield -> Amplifier -> TV

still no 5.1 from Netflix or Amazon. I get DD, DD+, DTS through Kodi.

Then I decided to try:

Amazon Fire TV -> Amplifier -> TV

Bang! I get 5.1 from BOTH Amazon AND Netflix. As well as DD/DTS from Kodi.

Why? How? What is going on!? Shall I get different APKs for both Amazon and Netflix for the Shield? This has got to be a software issue! It doesn't make any sense.

Any help, suggestion welcome!

I successfully upgraded my NXT-L29 to Oreo, using the files in this post: https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/discussion-oreo-huawei-mate-8-t3785320

(Only difference: used another TWRP version - twrp-3.1.1-1-next.img - since the one in this post didn’t work).

Though my phone worked, it was unrooted again and I tried to solve it by flashing TWRP again. It didn’t work, so I tried flashing TWRP-3.1.0-EMUI-5.0.img. Here’s where everything went wrong.

I get:

ERROR MODE, Please update system again!"

Error! Func: NO: 11 (recovery image)

Error NO: 2 (load failed!)

Here’s what I still can do:

-	Get into Fastboot – Bootloader and FRP both Unlocked

-	Use ADB

-	Get into eRovery

-	Get into EMUI update

-	Flash TWRP, SYSTEM.img and BOOT.img

What I can’t do:

-	Access my phone – get or one of the two yellow messages or Error Mode or Fastboot

-	Connect to HiSuite

-	Acces Wipe Partion, Factory Settings

-	Boot into TWRP

-	Flash any Recovery (partition: (length) error, or Cannot load Recovery). No matter what command I try. Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img doesn’t work either.

-	Find a RAMDISK.img in the Update.app. Flashing the SYSTEM, CUST and BOOT.img won’t do the trick with rebooting volume up + volume down + power. EMUI update states: Software install failed!

-	Use eRovery. Recovery fails every time after 7%

-	Find the current Build Number, since there’s no way of getting passed the two yellow messages or Error Mode or Fastboot

I’ve been up till 5 in the morning, trying to solve this without success. Think I’ve tried a 100 commands and methods. Is there anyone who has a solution? I’m really desperate by now.
