Nice, it's feels great when these things workout.

Edit: I forgot to mention I tried the Chinese Miui 10 before switching to EU and had no ability to text and horrible Google integration like no contacts, no calendar sync, etc. But the deal breaker was no sms. Definitely check that out it may be fixed by now.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:
Yeah I went ahead and flashed the eu rom when realizing that installing gaps would be even more work then flashing the eu rom . So now everything is working flawlessly including texts .

So if anyone has issues with no calling on Att with that horrible global rom i suggest installing the China Rom to repair all partitions then the EU Rom

All my problems are solved
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] mac231us:
4G in status bar is NOT LTE but is H or H+ (for this device)

The 4G (if that is what you are referring to) in the status bar is H+ or H....if it is LTE then it shows LTE (that was my experience) (was getting band 5 on ATT no band 4-think 4 is low or weak in my area but I see someone got it on Tmob-but then need verification)

EDIT also heard for band 4 LTE to actually work need both the 1700 and 2100 upstream and downstream to be present in device - otherwise no band 4

I checked also using the apps like Signal check lite etc

(understand some phones show 4g as actually LTE and then 3g if otherwise...some devices like Asus phones like ZU680KL....4g is LTE and H+/H is as shown (H + or H) (the "3.5g")

call forwarding works on the china rom (and eu over the china) but not on the global (yes it is a ROM issue)-see that you got it fixed
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:
I really didn't want to use to use call forwarding but appreciate all suggestions/alternatives.

I hope my findings will help others as frustrated as I was.

I love the phone and selling it had crossed my mind day one because of my frustration but I'm glad I pushed through and found a solution instead of throwing in the towel so quickly only to discover later a solution existed.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] opasha:
I'm on AT&T also, can you tell me your exact steps of flashing from opening your phone to now? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:
Read this thread (down below). right at the bottom of the first post has links to the 2 ROMs you need. Read all the posts in that thread as there are some tutorials mixed in how to flash the china rom first then in that second link in the first post that takes you to the EU rom thread which has another tutorial for that rom and getting twrp installed.

I get LTE
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] mac231us:
Tmobile band 4 or band 5?

Thanks! Which band though? Install either Signal check lite or LTE discovery. They should tell you which band is being used. I too got LTE on ATT (band 5-although band 4 is in the device I never got the device to use that band-just my area) Since band 5 is not on Tmobile (from your posts know you are on Tmobile), it must be band 4 then for you for LTE. However if you could try the above 2 apps and post screenshots that would be great! Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

EDIT

I was wrong....Tmobile has band 5 too. If your device is getting band 4 (check via the apps I listed - another forum member had also some other apps) then that will be great news! Thanks

scratch all steps I had posted (unfortunately even though I deleted them they were still present in quoted messages-so leading to needless questions (my fault))

the steps outlined here work and address the calling/sms issues (your own post - thanks was very good info)

https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-3/how-to/news-mi-max-3-global-rom-t3825700

That said I gave up on the mi max 3 and sold it...am back to mi mix now (max 3 works best in U.S with Tmobile due to its band 4 availability-non existent in many areas for ATT (my carrier) and band 5 in few areas anyway too for ATT. Mi mix has the all-important (next to 12/17) band 2 and that alone does a lot for 4g lte and maintaining connectivity/speeds. I did not personally end up liking the mi max 3 shape/size anyway (needed to be wider) and more square at the corners (personal choice too much rounded shapes and supposed conforming curves to the hand) Although original Mi mix has 1mm less width the balance is better (too much length and not enough width was leading to a lot of roll in the hand...now I see why Sony dubbed their Ultra Z having a "balanced" design-the 16/9 1.77 1920/1080 or 2560/1440 ratio is the best imo; Mix is just slightly less wide at 17/9)

hope everyone else enjoys the device though and good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] omer919:
You quoted a very old comment of me from the day I bought my Mi Max 3 xD

I also came from Mi MIX to Mi Max 3, Mi Max 3 is better in any segment except bezels.

my Mi MIX heated up so bad like 90 degreas celcius
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] mac231us:
I am not a gamer (if that is what caused heating up) anyway not seen those issues ever on MI.mix..second time owning this device. Battery life wise nothing compares to Mediapad x2 larger screen very fast on latest ROM even if Android 6.0 32gb version found it to be much better than the max 3 but then different type of device.. Battery just keeps chugging along as I compared it to the max 3 for heavy use ... Anyway best to you too thanks for the guides it did save me and many others from ruining the phone
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] kanej2006:
Unfortunately for me it is very poor.

Despite usually having a decent signal, no one is able to contact me and it is difficult to contact others especially in doors. I must be outside to start a call otherwise it does not work.

Also others say the line is unclear and keeps dropping.

Otherwise most people say that when calling me it goes straight to voice mail.

Even Wi-Fi reception is very weak and slow.

Lastly is the mobile data, does not work at all. Does not ever connect despite trying 20+ times.

Anyone have any suggestion before I sell this device?

Strange as previously I had the Xiaomi Mi Mix and it worked perfectly fine...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Tharg0r:
Get to V8.8.30 of the Xiaomi.eu rom, it fixes everything, I have 4G in parts of a building I work in that people often dont even have voice calls on their Samsungs and iPhones, people in the offices are always complaining that they want to go back to Blackberries because they cant get reception on anything else. I had nearly given up on using anything except wi-fi at work (phone was flawless everywhere else) but I upgraded last night and this morning I have perfect H+ everywhere and it jumps to 4G instantly in a lot of places. Calls and texts working fine now aswell.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] panospc:
What ROM version do you have?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] kanej2006:
@ Tharg0r, it will not find any new updates. Currently on version 964.

[MENTION=4380953]panospc[/MENTION], I am on miui global 9.6 stable 9.6.4.0
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] panospc:
Official Global ROM has not released yet, 9.6.4.0 global is probably a fake unofficial rom installed by the seller, there are several reports with signal problems with that ROM. You need to flash the chinese fastboot ROM via MiFlash tool.

Check this thread https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-3/how-to/news-mi-max-3-global-rom-t3825700
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Tharg0r:
As Panospc said, you can fix this with a proper ROM but you're going to have to do a bit of work, the Global ROM that a load of places claim to be selling is a broken PoS and not the phones fault, either wait for the Global ROM to appear or flash the EU rom to latest version from this thread, its not too difficult:

https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-3/development/rom-xiaomi-eu-miui-10-mi-max-3-t3825680

You're not going to get any updates from that broken global ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] kanej2006:
Thank you Tharg0r, that explains why the phone is so bad! The prick who sold the phone to me unfortunately installed the fake rom. :(

When I have time, I will follow the guide you posted and this should solve all issues!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] frcraig:
Great connectivity once you get the China or xiaomi.eu (European) ROM installed. If you are in the U.K. the European ROM has GPS optimized for you. It isn't difficult and the phone is great once you have a proper ROM installed. The folks on here are great at helping you if you have any questions going forward.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Tharg0r:
Hopefully your bootloader is unlocked, when you restart the phone and the Mi logo appears against a black screen, do you see "Unlocked" down the bottom? If not you should start the unlocking process now with the Mi app, Xiaomi make you wait 10 days or longer for it to unlock these days so get that started today if your bootloader is locked at least.

LTE issues

Anyone else having LTE issues in the US? I'm on AT&T. Tried the fake global rom that was pre-installed, and the xiaomi.eu rom

Is there an official or good global rom I should try flashing?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] couldnthinkaone:
I was able to get a 6gb/128gb phone delivered last week, HOOT!!

I'm on AT&T in Austin on the Global 9.6.4.0 ROM and I get "4G"(HSPA+) with no issues. on Ookla, I'm getting 16Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up(in a know poor reception area...). not great, but not terrible either. Works for streaming from my DirecTV app and playing movies(downloaded) from Netflix. I do get LTE signal, depending on where I am, but I haven't stopped to check the data speeds yet.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Jaberwocky64:
I would also like to confirm that i can get 3G (that is my basic plan) in Virgin Media here in the UK .....I'm also on the 9.6.4.0 Global Rom...no drop offs to report.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Vandetta187:
I have this same exact issue- just got my phone a few days ago and having dropped calls in NY. Following the steps to dial *#*#86583#*#* does not work. I'm on the stock rom that came on the device (9.6.7.0 or MIUI Global). Not sure if that is the fake one. I'm coming from a MI MIX so I'm familiar with the unlocking process but I didn't know about this anti rollback.

I was going to wait until someone started developing for this device before I changed the rom. Which rom will enable VoLTE without getting stuck with the anti roll back I keep seeing mentioned? Will using a new stock rom prevent me from using another custom rom in the future?

I guess I should clarify I'm on V9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD

I was reading

Does that mean I can use any rom?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] opasha:
VoLTE steps work on 8.8.9 eu. It's a solid rom with everything working. Just follow my thread. You'll need an unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] JMaxMan:
Hi,

I purchased this phone for my Wife. I finally got it to work with 8.99.. I enabled Volte, but I'm not sure if it's working or not. How can you tell if it's working? When she is on the phone the data is off. The call quality is great no issues there anymore. I just need for her to have data while on the phone. Is this what Volte suppose to do.?

Thank You

I've tested on this rom in UK EE carrier with data working during phone calls. Can you provide me your carrier and country, so I can help further? Also, what sim slot is using data/internet?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Vandetta187:
Can I downgrade from V9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD to 8.8.9 EU without bricking my phone?

I was gonna upgrade to MIUI 10 EU but I'm afraid if this phone ever gets development I'll be locked out of testing other roms.

Either way gotta wait 30 days now to unlock. If I try before does that reset the countdown for unlocking? When I did the MI MIX it was only 3 days.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] opasha:
I don't think this is ARB. Factory reset and do clean install with TWRP for the 8.8.9 eu rom once your bootloader is unlocked.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] tweebs:
My phone stuck on 2G (can't connect to 3G or 4G). I just received the phone, Feb 2019. Apparently I made a huge mistake an ordered the 'Global Rom' instead of the 'Global Version' (screw you 'Mi Global Store', should have stuck with Goldway). The bootloader came unlocked and it was preloaded with MIUI 10.0.X Global, the data worked for 10 mins until I mistakenly did the OTA update to 10.2.1.0(OEDMIFK) Baseband AT31c7-00014-1218_1225_71f61ca

I have never had the need to flash anything other than official Global ROMs OTA on any of my Xiaomi devices the last few years, now it looks like I'll be back on XDA for all my future update needs. Guess I'll be trying Xiaomi.eu 10.2.1.0 stable to see if it corrects the network issues on this chinese version.

BTW, I'm in Canada, upgraded from the Xiaomi Mi Max 1 so I could get LTE band 4 coverage, VoLTE and maybe VoWIFI in Canada and US (AT&T).
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] tweebs:
Stuck on 2G after OTA update

After Wiping the User Data using Xiaomi recovery (power on holding power and vol up), I now connect to LTE and 4G. It's odd how it used to "E", "H", "H+", and "4G". I always thought 4G was LTE as with my Mi Max 1, but it now is jumping between "4G" and "LTE" because there is weak band 4 LTE where I live. We'll see how long this lasts.

Edit - It didn't last long. I'm still getting stuck on 2G from time to time, even though there is a decent 3G (H+) and week LTE (4G). I haven't seen the phone report LTE since the first time. 4G and confirmed with Network Cell Info Lite to be band 4.

Edit - I've been using the OTA update of the 'Global Rom' on the chinese version. The phone reports both 4G and LTE for Band 4 and 7 on AT&T in the US, even works with VoLTE, although I don't see the advantage. On Rogers in Canada, I've only seen LTE reported once, when I first factory reset, when it's connected to band 4 or 7 it shows 4G. In fringe reception areas i'm still stuck with 2G, it doesn't want to switch to 3G or LTE even if I manually select those networks. People report that I'm breaking up all the time, although I never hear the problem on my end.

I'm very curious to know which ROM and baseband people in North America are currently using with the Chinese version.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Fearle55:
I don't know if that is helpful for anybody, but i have MiMax3 for 1-2 months now, and i don't have any problems whatsoever. I'm on MIUI 10.2.1.0(PEDMIXM) Global Rom. I don't experience any dropped calls, or unsent messages, so far everything seems to be butter smooth. Mobile internet speeds often hang on LTE+ with mobile speeds up to near 100 Mbit/s.

For those who say that their network downgrades from LTE to H when on call, it is normal as in normal situation LTE does not transmit phone calls, at least where i live, also i don't have any experience with VoLTE so can't comment on that.

I'll accept being the outlier here, but I found the mi mix to have fuller sound and similar loudness. It's not to say the mi max 3 is bad, and I appreciate and notice the earpiece speaker stereo, but the sound feels a bit more hollow on this device.

Roll-back is possible, but not like that.

To help or suggestions what you I can try. Will need to know what you flashed, where you flashed it, what was any message after or during flashing.

Also need to know if twrp also gives this type of message, or if it boots.

As far as link to Oreo stock images. Need to know what model and build number. (You know there are almost 10 model/region combo's and each has at least 3 builds)

Model : BND-al10

Got oreo as beta tester.

From firware finder app download roll back full ota package. And extracted that update.app and flashed boot, system, and stock recovery.

After that try to reboot the device. Stucked at bootloop.

Twrp is working. When i try to restore (i had backup the system, ext. Data) restore process success but error ahows as

Alert

Update the system again

Error

Func no: 10 (boot)

Error no: 2 ( load failed).

I tried another zip files to flash through memory card but zip loading failed in twrp.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Should have used hwota or hurupdater to flash the fullota, not extract the images, but too late for that.

Wow, what a mess.

For starters, to explain some of what seems to have happened.

Nougat and oreo have different partitions. Not only in name but also location.

Twrp cannot create any partition.

That being said, Oreo does not have a boot or recovery partition, so where did you flash the boot.img and recovery.img

It is obvious the stock recovery flash was not to "recovery_ramdisk" because twrp still working.

Not quite sure what parts were in you backup that you tried. And the " other zip " is a mystery.

I would think, since twrp is loading that using hurupdater might still be an option.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] babu.123:
Thanks for your advice. Get back to system with oreo with the help of hurupdater.

Anyone else have this issue or know of a potential fix. Other people frequently can't hear me when on a cell call and calls are sometimes dropped completely. I have network service during this time and can hear the other person just fine, and other phones have worked fine with the same service, so it seems like there's something up with the phone itself. I made sure the OK Google listening was disabled (some people reported that was causing their issue) and deleted the cache, but am still having the issue. Any other ideas?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fBx:
Hi,

so title basically says it already - since 5.6.2.0 I have real problems with my 2017 Fire HD 8. The battery runs dry very quickly - charged last evening, only read a few pages of a book and otherwise standby, 37% at the morning. That can't be right. Nothing else installed since.

Also, there's an Alexa Accesoires notification that I can not get rid of. It's there all the time, regardless whether I deactivate Alexa.

Is there any known problem with 5.6.2.0 and battery draining? Is there a battery monitor I could use to find out who the culprit is?

And what about that Alexa notification? Thanks!

Just to check, I went ahead and rebooted - it hadn't been done in a couple months anyway so I figured it would need it - and that notification has not come back... so far.
