[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] SUPERUSER:
If you are worried about customs. For instance if you live in the EU.

Then buy from a seller who puts a man-in-the-middle and ships first to a EU member country and then to your destination country and you will avoid both import fee and whatever percentage VAT your country use.

This is how we bought our Redmin note 4 Mido but it shipped from Italy instead of Great Britain as specified in the ad below.

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...agon-636-Octa-Core-6/3010045_32897985587.html

Xiaomi are starting to be sold by local electronic store all around Europe so you and even I might not even need to buy mine from overseas.

But the chances are the VAT and all fees going to add up so it might not be worth it even so and will be cheaper to import anyway.

But hang on a minute. There is new articles published about the Mi Max 3 Pro yesterday.

If you want that one maybe hold on a few more weeks to see what happens.

Hi Could you please give more details on why you think a pro version would be out soon? Besides the appearance in Qualcomm's website are there other news on the matter?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] usgaap:
The Pro popped up on the official Xiaomi site and the NCC has a listing for a device from Xiaomi matching the Mi Max 3 Pro.

So, there you go.

3.Is the ROM global ROM? Does it have multi-language and Google Play?

It's Chinese version. We will flash global ROM. It has multi-language and Google Play after flashing. It can upgrade by OTA.

Does this sound legid to you? What kind of rom they would be flashing if there is no official Global version yet or so we think? This is the major Xiaomi aliexpress seller....
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
Looks like the Pro rumours have been squashed :( I was holding out to see if that version came to light. It's a massive shame.

https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/07/...killed-snapdragon-710-variant-does-not-exist/
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] SUPERUSER:
Thats a bummer :(

Anyway it would be strange of them to announce one standard lower end model Mi Max 3 and then a few weeks later another more powerful choice of configuration.

They would probably had them showed off at the same keynote.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
Yeah, it would have made more sense. The only thing I could have thought was that they wanted to sell more of the lower spec'd units first and maximise sales that way.

Either way, it's a shame :(
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] SUPERUSER:
Seller has updated its ad on aliexpress:

3.Is the ROM global ROM? Does it have multi-language and Google Play?

It's Chinese version. We will flash global ROM. It has multi-language and Google Play after flashing. It can upgrade by OTA.

Not sure how to read this. Is there only one rom? But they flashed gapps on top of this?

Or a choice you tell the seller before it ships out?

I know translation of chinese to english is prone to similar errors that make it hard to understand what they mean.

This is due to how chinese write backwards when it comes to how they describe a sentence. Word B comes before A in some cases.

It's from PR Director, who always want to sell more current products. If they confirm Pro version exit, people will wait until it release :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
In a way I hope you're right but I don't think that's the case, he confirmed it twice with different people. It wouldn't be great for their growing reputation for them to be that dishonest.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Besterem:
Did you also buy from this seller ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] kelvintisw:
It doesn't make any sense at all from the sellers who mentioned:

"We will flash global rom". < What kind of "global rom"? 3rd parties rom likes eu rom or other modified rom sources? There isn't any official Global rom at all! >

"It can upgrade by OTA" <What OTA? OTA from China rom/ OTA from 3rd parties rom likes eu rom or other modified rom sources? >

For my case! I bought the authentic Xiaomi China sealed box's Mi Max 3 directly from a China dealer at the official Xiaomi listed price tag of CNY1699. I loaded Google using Google Installer apk. I will get OTA updates but I know that the OTA update is still from the official China rom OTA.

So bewared! I have warned you!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] SUPERUSER:
I believe that is the store, yes.

I did not buy one yet as I am waiting for real world issues and bugs to resolve. And maybe have some custom roms to open up their support.

If it works out I will buy one as in the ad listed that they send it to EU to avoid the import tax as I do live in Europe.

But it doesn't look good already because there isn't even any official stock rom or anything published, not even a support page on the chinese xiaomi webpage now two weeks after it went on sale.

Last time I bought a device at launch was the Togari. Sony did open up a webpage in April months even before it was released so there was plenty of documentation but there was plenty of issues and bugs when we received our phones.

All of us that got the phone the first year had serious problems with probably everything you could imagine.

Before even any updates were released there was the SOD screen of death.

Battery drained completely in 1 hour if you left it on the table and being almost boiling hot!

Battery draining instead of charging and being boiling hot! Fix was to reboot or charge turned off.

Camera not working.

Ghost touches.

Random reboots.

Overheating.

Device not charging after completely drained and blinking red led when off.

Kernel not booting, just a vibrate then nothing.

The list just goes on and on. And the camera was never fixed as the little brother Honami now has a stable camera both in lollipop and nougat.

So I learned my lesson..

Price on Chinese High Street - Mi Max 3

I have just seen the Mi Max 3 in China in a Xiaomi store for 1999RMB and 1699RMB for the 128Gb and 64Gb models respectively. That's about £220 for the 128Gb. I will probably buy before coming home if they can change the language for me.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] maxsteam:
Yup. I got one today. I said to the sales girl that I would buy if she could download Google Play onto it. It was agreed. I put the cash on the counter and, after a lot of effort, it was downloaded. It came with a Chinese/pinyin keyboard which I have changed (I wish I had asked for this in the shop - changing the keyboard requires typing which isn't easy in this case without language skills). I have installed a VPN. It should be ready to use tomorrow. ¥1999 seems to be the standard price at many stores for the 128gb version. Sometimes HK can be a cheaper. There may be VAT and duty to pay on the way home. I am unsure whether a global ROM will be worthwhile when available and I will read opinions on this with interest. IMHO Xiaomi is not the same stable as Togari.

Get your facts straight before posting "Snapdragon 450 both have Octa-core 64-bit ARM® Cortex™-A53 CPU."
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
I was sad to find that the 4/64 Plus version of the G6 would not be available in the US.

I was browsing swappa, yesterday and came across a 4/64 regular G6 for sale.

I asked the seller where it was purchased. His reply was "Amazon, I think". I searched Amazon and found only A Prime version of the G6 with 4GB RAM & 64GB internal storage.

https://www.amazon.com/Moto-G6-Unlo...droidcentral00-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6288350

I Google the phone and could not find it at any other store.

I contacted Motorola and asked why it was not on their web site. Haven't heard back, yet.

I prefer motorola phones. I've tried living without Moto Actions & Display, with A Nexus 6P and an OG Pixel XL. I couldn't do it and the fingerprint scanner on the back was too much to bear.

I really need 64GB of internal storage, and if this phone is like the X4, the OS consumed 13GB of the internal storage, which doesn't leave much on a 32GB phone.

I could easily live with the physical size of the regular G6, as long as it has 64GB internal.

I hadn't read anything about this version of the G6, before yesterday, but I did find specs identifying it on a couple sites, from a Google search.

Will Amazon Prime be the only 4/64 G6 available?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
Just saying the Amazon prime models are not eligible for a bootloader unlock which means you won't be able to root or install custom recovery
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
That's why I'm asking if anyone has seen the 4/64 version, available in the US that is not an Amazon Prime phone.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Coldstream:
not sure what your on about, but there is a arm64 64gb/4gb variant. I have one, and i'm sure others over here aswelll?

If you are addressing me, I'm in the US, where are you, with your dual sim variant?

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Coldstream:
No, i was adressing OP. I know the 64gb/4gb variant is not put for sale in the US, and i'm from the Netherlands.

I hope you guys are able to get your hands on the proper version. Perhaps buying them from a retailer here is an option?

I updated WhatsApp today and after apdate when I open the app there isn't any problem but when I try to get in any chat, "Unfortunately WhatsApp stoped running" warning appeares and the app crashes. I've been using WhatsApp wallpapers and WhatsApp extensions mod of Xposed but never got any problem until today. I tried several versions from APKMirror and also I tried to downgrade. Updated version seems 2.17.218 and I tried official site which gave me a higer version (2.18.213). But problem still there and I used up all the possible solutions to try.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkG_108:
I noticed, after February, that I was no longer getting the regular Lineage updates to my Galaxy Nexus (aka maguro) phone, since it was no longer being officially maintained. So, recently I decided to try and keep it securely updated via making my own builds, as described on the LineageOS wiki (search for "maguro" on the wiki). On July 1, I succeeded, creating "lineage-13.0-20180701-UNOFFICIAL-maguro". This build took seven hours to complete. I successfully installed it.

Later, on July 18th, I repeated the build process, creating a 20180718 build (named lineage-13.0-20180718-UNOFFICIAL-maguro). This took much less time (30 min), and so I assume that subsequent builds are sped up by reliance on the locally available previous builds. So, since I had a new build, I wiped the system and successfully installed this later build using TWRP.

However, "About Phone/LineageOS version" still showed the build as being "20180701". Anyone know why? Does it mean nothing has changed since the July first build?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregsy:
I posted the message below on the Amazon device forum but most folks on there don't seem to know how to turn things on so I'm hoping I get sensible help here:

My fire HD 8 (2017) has suddenly stopped me opening games. Bad piggies and cut the rope, both installed from the Amazon store and worked last week.

I just tried to open them and get a message saying I need to turn on Amazon Underground data tracking. I tap the button to allow and it takes me to the settings menu ( as per screenshot).

There's no menu with this option, I also thought the underground app had been discontinued. I can't find the option in the app store or the Amazon games app.

Any one else has the same problem? Googling just refers to the old underground app.

My reply to the helpful "Have you tried restarting" from Amazon support.

I've tried restarting and holding the power button down but still the same. I also tried uninstalling one of the apps and reinstalling.

My fire is on version 5.6.2.0 (I'm in the UK but the show mode isn't activated yet).

This new version seems to have a lot of bugs. I was impressed with the tablet before but now I'm seeing slow down doing certain tasks. I have the permanent "Alexa Devices" notification. When the wifi disconnects I get 3 notifications about alarms and reminders until wifi reconnects. Now I can't use some Amazon app store apps.

Any ideas?

Cheers
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Creeju:
Could it be, that the apps just weren't updated since the Underground closure?

Hi Creeju,

I've figured it out, there's an option in the menus to turn on data tracking, nothing to do with the underground apps. Its in the security and privacy menu -> app data tracking.

I'll post a screenshot later when I'm back on the tablet. Amazon support eventually replied to an email and said it was in the "Apps and Games" menu, it's not.

Edit: Screenshot added, it's the "Collect App Usage Data" option

Hello ,

For the update to Android 8 Unofficial , you'll have to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP , all this process will wipe your data , so don't do this after recording a wedding .

For the app supporting 4k video , you can try open camera (on the play store)

Install it then go to settings , then video settings and click on video resolution. Search for 4K (ir will be at the top)
