I'm on China Stable version 10.0.3.0 now after forgetting to turn off auto-updating, because I intended to stay on 9.6.12, which was rock solid.

So be it.

My assesment of 10.0.3.0 so far is that it seems bug free and seems just as rock solid as 9.6.12. Since it is also a stability and speed optimization update, 10.0.3.0 also seems faster AFTER it has built up some cache after using a number of apps for 15 minutes or so.

Initially UI animations seemed slower than on MIUI 9.6.12, but after cache build-up they are now faster than on 9.6.12. Everything is just a tad faster, snappier and smoother. Especially gesture animations are now smooth after cache buildup, which wasn't the case on 9.6.12.

10.0.3.0 has what Xiaomi calls an "AI" that monitors what you do on your phone and what apps you use most and then optimizes those things for speed. It starts to work pretty quickly and I noticed speed increasements after 15 minutes already. Pretty cool.

The Mi Max 3 was already quite fast on 9.6.12, except for gesture animations. Now gesture animations are smooth too.

I'm satisfied with this "accidental" update.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wam7:
That's because we were talking about the Xiaomi.eu ROMS, you're on the Global 9.6.7.0 so I would expect the bluetooth to work as well as it has for you. ;)

Xiaomi has stated that the global version should not be installed on the Chinese version of the phone.

While it might work initially, updates can lock the bootloader and you'll be left with a bricked device.

On page 44 of this thread I have posted a guide with the best solution for all the issues if you have a Chinese version of the phone and had a faulty rom on it. I recommend everyone with the Chinese version of the Mi Max 3 to read the guide or you can potentially brick your phone.

The guide is in post number #439 and it's on page 44 of this thread.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokinJohnny:
Please don't take this the wrong way as its a legitimate question, but why? Isn't the hardware for the Chinese and global version the same? Mi Max 3 only have one code name so that would indicate to me Chinese and global ROMs would work interchangeably (of course not taking into account ARB and all that stuff.)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] heartofalion:
The hardware is the same, but the roms can detect whether the phone is meant for the Chinese market or the global market. If you put a global rom manually on a Chinese phone and lock the bootloader, then it will be bricked.

This is why some people installed the global rom on their Chinese phone with the bootloader unlocked. However if they install an update that unsollicitedly locks the bootloader, then their device will be bricked.

This is partly why installing the China rom and setting the language to English is the best course of action, because you can lock the bootloader without any potential harmful consequences for your device, in fact locking the bootloader has a number of advantages over not locking it.

Xiaomi takes good care of it's Chinese customers. I'm on the China rom and it's rock solid. I get updates much faster than global customers and I get more updates. There seem to be no bugs and everything runs silky smooth here on version 10.0.3.0.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omniphil:
Flashed the new global miui 10. Android Auto seems to function most of the time now which is awesome. The video chat bug is still present unfortunately. People on the other end of the video call get random audio drop outs. Video stays clear, this is with any video chat app, audio calls don't have this issue. In guessing most of you guys don't use video chat much. But unfortunately I rely on it. So I can't really use this phone as a daily driver.

However, with the recent news of the Huawei mate 20 X, I won't need to use this Mi Max 3 anymore. So that should fix that problem, haha.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokinJohnny:
Thanks for the explanation.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
So, the Global MIUI 10.0.1.0 is an ARB rom?

I've got big big big problems with the gsm radio. If the signal is low, the phone doesn' t connect to operator line and stay offline (unusefull phone). Then it can't reconnect to gsm line except if you go in a perfect well signal covered area (such as outside home or in the garden). So if you line in a small village (country side) like me you risk to be off line 90% of you time. In order to regain le line you have to switch to airplane mode for a couple of minutes and then restore back to online mode (alternatively restart the phone). Crazy!!! Is there someone who lives in a non well covered (bad covered) area and testing the stock chinese rom who is facing same problems or if he hasn' t any problem with the radio signal (indoor usage)??? I' m desperated...

I bought it for Germany(because max 2 no band 20 lte and max 3 have B20) and I am happy with the China MIUI 10 version. In 10days unlock Time for Bootloader is end and then I will install xiaomi.eu rom. And that's only for German language.

Yes it is all in english but all apps (only Google Assistent is English) are in German. So why waiting?the global version is hardware specification exactly the same but I think like max 2 the global version will be more expensive. Why ever?! So buy the China version, subscripe for unlock wait 360h and then install the rom you like for your language.

Honorbuy has the ch/en version on it. Bought two both of them had pre installed gApps and deleted China Apps.

Currently the phone is running 9.6.9.0(OEDCNFD). EU warehouse shipped from Italy btw. Took overnight to come to Germany.

Bought it honorbuy.

Same shipping speed.

Load the recovery zip.

Then go to updater app>three dots > choose update package and then install.

Any advice if bootloader is locked with this fake rom and feom recovery did wipe data and now Mi-Recovery says that this MIUI is not compatible with this phone and I got bootloop when I tru to boot to system?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
First: Good Idea.

Or the seller should write their descriptions with the right content. Tradingshenzhen for example has change their descriptions after an admin from the German MIUI forum write them a mail. That a official global Rom not exist. So after two mails they correct their description from global version to EURom with explanation that this version will come with Pre installed Xiaomi.eu Rom.

Second: Or buy the Chinese version.

Third: wait till the real global version exist.

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

Can you choose the install package in the the recovery?

One idea is to load the MIUI 10 Recovery zip from Xda direct link (look post above), put it to a extsd, and then choose in the recovery to install this zip?

It's only an idea not a solution.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dogiex:
There is no option "choose update zip" in Mi-Recovery 3.

Also unlocking bootloader loads to 99% and tells that I need to bind the phone to my account in developer settings and Mi Unlock Status.

MiFlash says error can't Erase on Lock State when I try to flash Chinese dev/stable rom in Fastboot.

Hi.

Just wondering if you call this global rom a fake , then isn't the rom from xiaomi.eu fake too since they are not officially from Xiaomi?

Am I missing something here?

Is xiaomi.eu run by Xiaomi themselves?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
The problem is that the shops not say: UNOFFICIAL Rom. They write official global rom. And sell it as Official global rom.

And that's a lie.

And they open the Bootloader.

And installed a unofficial rom. Some users did not want unlock Bootloader.

And the next lie is that you can official OTA updates. Yes that can work but it can also happened that you brick your phone. Or when there updates because of wrong Rom your not official rom show no update.

The xiaomi.eu rom when installed is okay in my opinion when it clear in the description.

there is a YouTube review in German where he bought a "global rom" and no call and worse network. After reflash to original Rom tataaaaa network and call is working.

So the "global" rom not is only fake it has very bad bugs.

Mate 20 X is awesome, but I can't stand locked bootloader. If you get it and can figure out the locked bootloader situation, PM me. They basically combined the Honor 8X Max and Honor Note 10 with the latest Mate 20 Pro camera. Beautiful device, but locked bootloader is a huge flaw.

Ironic that your video bug keeps happening. Clean install? I use whatsapp video often and have no such issues on my 8.8.9 eu.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wam7:
It's the audio part of the video call and it will be the people that you are speaking and what they hear not the audio you hear that is the problem. I have 2 phones with 8.8.9 EU and they both have the same problem when doing Skype video calls.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

First of all why would you go back to an older Global ROM than the newer China ROM you have now? Especially as you have a Chinese phone in the first place.

Secondly as far as I know the current ROM you are on has ARB which stops you from going back to ANY older version so be careful if you do go back any previous versions.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
I don't have this issue in whatsapp video. Could be Skype? I don't really use Skype anymore, so I haven't tested that.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omniphil:
Won't we be able to just unlock the bootloader tho?

I am a big fan of custom roms and root and stuff, but honestly with the Mi Max 3 and not having working Android Auto and Video Chats apps at this point I just want something that work, locked bootloader or not.

Yes, I've always done clean install, the audio in video chats just gets all unstable after a couple of minutes. it make video chatting useless unfortunately. I've flashed everything under the sun at this point, haha.

Does any one know if Xiaomi has an official place to report bugs?

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

I've had the issue with Skype, Line, Google Duo. I haven't tried whatsapp but it seems like everything I have tried for apps give me the exact same problem, so it's got to be something in the rom..... It's a weird bug for sure, Audio calls (in Line, Sype, etc) all work perfect, so it really makes no sense... I was thinking maybe defective hardware, but the Mic works fine otherwise.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
Yes. I'm aware of the arb restriction.

Well! I want a full and seemless integration of Google and MIUI.

Currently, I'm using Google via Google installer on my China rom in which I need to set up all sorts of permissions and put apps in Autostart for the notifications to pop up correctly and timely.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
That's very strange, indeed. I can understand your frustration. Hopefully the Mate 20 X works great for you. My Huawei Mate 9 was a beast. Their stock UI is very fast and battery life is very very good.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omniphil:
My Mi Mix is still working great so it's not a huge deal, I figure the bug will get fixed at some point. I just turn the phone off and it hides shamefully in the corner until a new version of the rom come out and I wipe everything and install Skype and do my testing and then usually cry, turn the phone off and put it back in the corner, lol ;)

It's too bad too, the huge screen and battery are so awesome. After using it the Mi Mix seems so tiny...

I have the Huawei Mediapad X1 and X2 and those were pretty good so I certainly don't mind jumping over to the competition...

I think I did, but I cannot get Android Auto to work with any China rom unfortunately. Plus I couldn't seem to get Contact sync working.

But if I remember right the China roms do not have this bug with Video Chat audio breaking up. I'm going to have to go back and check tho...

Are you sure about this? I haven't heard of any OTA relocking the bootloader before. You literally have to manually relock the bootloader

Has not happened to Mi Max 3 yet.

Back in September, many redmi 6 pro users got their bootloader locked after an OTA update, most of them was with unofficially unlocked bootloader by the seller, check here https://en.miui.com/thread-3812423-1-1.html

Anyway, those who unlocked officially are not affected by this. If the bootloader gets locked, it can by unlocked easily in few secs with Mi unlock tool.

I'm on EU ROM 8.9.20 as I was told it's the best ROM to run next to original xiaomi's china stable (and I've tried it too). I was told EU ROM is also based on china stable. So I have waited 720 hours to get my bootloader unlocked and I can't wait to flash global stable ROM even if it has anti-rollback. I can't even be bothered to update further (so I can just turn off OTA) if the global stable ROM is rock solid. But with EU ROM, I can't get any updates. What do you think, guys?
