why would anybody with their right mind buy an overpriced sony device?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] phamngoc96:
It's work very good in mia2 lite
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] phatestcat:
Works on Galaxy S9+ but...

...there's nothing "live" about it. It installs fine and shows up as an option, but all I get is a static image.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] ermond012:
The animation only shows when you unlock the phone then static after that. That is how the live wallpapers of Sony work since XZ2.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] BladeRunnerA2C:
But, I'm seeing some slow animations on the Home screen

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] BladeRunnerA2C:
It requires 8.0 and up

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] potblack2win:
Hi Guys,

We all know the Xiaomi Mi 9 is out in Spain / Italy on Amazon and various other retailers within these countries.

When will it be out in the UK

Does anyone know where I can import it with global rom
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
I'm on the lookout for the Mi 9 too for the UK.

I emailed the London shop and they responded just now saying "The Mi 9 UK launch date is not yet announced to us by the UK head office.".

I'm on UK Three network and I believe the Mi 9 that can be pre ordered from Giztop will work on my 3G and 4G networks, but km holding off as I'd prefer a UK power plug.

I believe around 28th Feb we may be able to pre order online but not 100% sure....
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] anandlal:
The version from Giztop is the Chinese version, not the Global Version.

I pre-ordered from them and they contacted me to let me know that. Still trying to decide if to proceed.

They contacted me because they received the phone and is getting ready to ship.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] potblack2win:
I've heard the UK release date is at the end of March.

:(
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Same. I've seen a store saying 25th, but I was just reading the review from TrustedReviews:

It’s going to be out slightly later than that in the UK, though, with an expected release in late March 2019 over here. That means we don’t yet have confirmed UK pricing.

https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/xiaomi-mi-9

Hmm, amusingly Amazon Italia will ship to my address... I'd be buying the charger pack anyway, wonder if that comes with UK plug?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] manus31:
25th March not cheap either

https://m.clove.co.uk/xiaomi-mi-9
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Wow £500 for the 64gb model and have to wait until March!

I'm UK here and pre ordered it for roughly £384 delivered from Italy and will be dispatched tomorrow. I was looking for an official xiaomi plug and wireless charger, but settled for these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01MXXOQTE

Fast charging, multi USB and interchangeable UK/EU plug for when I go on holidays

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07KG5HDFX

I know this isn't a super fast charging one, but I honestly don't care as this will be my bedside table one for night time and I'd much prefer having a stand
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] manus31:
Was thinking of doing something similar,but the fast wireless charge only works with Xaoimi charger. Will wait and see,a week or so if it is released here in Ireland.

.Would be interested to see how you get on with them chargers
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Yeah, Amazon Italia knows my UK address and will deliver. So I'm very close to doing this!

Just want the official UK plug. I plan to mainly wirelessly charge so I know I'd need that kit anyway
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Doooo iiiiiiitttttt! Just think you can save £100 plus have the phone around Monday/Tuesday perhaps! Just for the sake of a plug.

I know I won't have the full fast wireless charge but I'd only ever use that at night when goifm to sleep, as a charging stand, so I don't need it to be fast :)

As for the Anker fast charging plug, I'm sure this will suffice too!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] potblack2win:
Its all about being a little more patient. We are lucky to see that Amazon ES and Amazon IT have the Xiaomi Mi 9 in 64gb SKUs

Waiting for 128gb to hit the shelfs after the 28th Febuary but will wait for UK Release
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] potblack2win:
Good luck.

Let us know how you get on with the phone
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Will do. Phone should arrive hopefully by Monday, as I'm going on holiday on Tues so least I'll have a new toy to play with when back home if not. But would be nice to test that camera out on holiday!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
I'm probably gonna import it but want the 128gb version!

I'll be STUNNED if I can't get fast charging sorted. Keep us updated anyway CD993, have fun on your travels!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
I was very tempted to wait to, but figured I'll be happy enough with the 64gb :)

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
UK based seller selling 128gb with 1 year warranty £449

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/264218094445
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
**** it, black still looks beautiful.... I'm grabbing that!

Thanks for spotting that mate, price is good too, and warranty - sorted!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Yeah I'm just awaiting my Amazon Italy 64GB to be cancelled (they haven't dispatched, only 'preparing for dispatch') so for extra £30 I can get this 128GB :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Yeah, I'd do that too if I were you - double the storage for thirty more squid? No brainer!

Ahhhh, I've got a smile on my face, new phone sorted. Next business day, mine has been quoted as Monday.

Happy days!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Wait wow my maths then.....!

It was £383 or something so not a £30 difference lol that would be more like £67!

Annnnd Amazon Italy saying over live chat dispatch process has gone too far and can't cancel!

Ah oh well, still will be happy I guess
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Aw man, that's a shame! But you're still getting a great phone at a price that will be better than the UK's VAT one :)

Again thanks for the heads up!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
That is true!

Plus it *should* be here best case scenario Monday - fingers crossed...!

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Ah bugger it, I've just ordered the UK Ebay 128gb one!

I confirmed with Amazon that I can reject the delivery and it'll get returned to them for a full refund!

128gb will be much better, means it will match the storage of my current Pixel 2 XL and be handy given won't have Google photos anymore!

Plus it'll definitely arrive Monday, as I'm going on holiday on Tuesday so want my new toy to take lots of great pics with!! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
You're going to Nice aren't you? You'll love it, perfect for a new camera! Try to go up to Eze, it's a little mountain village along the coast, very scenic, old and romantic - and the views are to die for! I wish I could try out my new phone there!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] potblack2win:
Bought from him before and is a realible seller. Got my wife's Mi 8 from him on eBay
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Ah that's very reassuring to hear!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Ozymandias99:
Ahhhh I'm so tempted to get the eBay/Amazon Italy one... but I really wanted the blue colour! I don't know what to do!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] OverlordBubbles:
Hey

Posted on Reddit yesterday about this. I was unsure of how it was the 128gb global version. Have you any idea if it is legit? Just everywhere else I look is just the 6/64 model.

Just before I bite the bullet.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
I just got my dispatch notification and will be here MOnday - apparently a trusted seller both from eBay reviews and someone on XDA how had bought from him. Will post on here once all is well!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I'm looking on ordering the Chinese transparent edition when it's available, it's missing Band 20 but I rang EE today & they said it's not that important, only covers rural areas (I'm not in a rural area anyway) & confirmed that the masts around me don't even give out Band 20, just trying to find information on customs charges now..

https://m.banggood.com/Xiaomi-Mi9-M...1427396.html?akmClientCountry=GB&rmmds=search
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] potblack2win:
I think around the 25th of March is the official release date in the UK. On Clove thats when they will start to ship the global version

https://www.clove.co.uk/xiaomi-mi-9
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
He's posted photos of the boxes.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Ok I'm now suspicious of this. Someone messaged me on XDA pointing out that the boxes on the eBay listing look different, in that they don't have the full factory installed film around them, but instead 2 circular sticky bits. This *may* imply that the boxes have been opened and therefore a chance remains that they've bulk bought a load of Chinese devices, flashed a global rom, sealed them up in fake boxes and listed as Global.

If it wasn't for the LTE/4G band 20 not being present in Chinese devices, I wouldn't be that bothered. But that is a big part of the phone and will be returning it should the device not be a genuine model.

It will be arriving tomorrow and so I'll check via the IMEI number, which rom version is installed, what bloatware etc. and most importantly if I can connect to LTE Band 20
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
You could also check the bootloader status, if it's unlocked then it's almost certain that he's bought Chinese & flashed Global, no retail Global will have unlocked bootloaders out the box, good luck
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Great thanks, is there any other ways to tell?

I presume if they've flashed a global rom on a Chinese device they won't have relocked the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
The only way I know of is checking the band's & the bootloader status, it's not possible to flash Global on a Chinese device & relock the bootloader anymore, it'll result in a brick

Edit: The Global version should have a different model number than the Chinese version, I don't know either of them but if you can find out the Chinese one & it matches yours, then there's your answer
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Nice, many thanks for that it's appreciated.

I'll check using these methods tomorrow and will update.

If anyone reading this already has a definite Global device please quote this message with the model number.

Luckily I actually have my Amazon Italy device coming Wednesday (they were unable to cancel the delivery and they agreed for me just to refuse the delivery attempt) so if this is not the real deal I'll stick with that one. Its 64gb rather than 128gb, but it was also over £60 cheaper, so I'll just return this ebay one if needed.

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] *justintime*:
This is an official Global version.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Thanks, very helpful!

I think the other (Chinese) variants are M1902F1A / M1902F1T
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] OverlordBubbles:
Hey

I'm a little worried now too, as I bit the bullet and purchased eBay listing.

Upon looking at the eBay listing photos though, the model number matches the one posted above. (M1902F1G)

Hope all works out well.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Ah so we may be ok!

Yeah ill check:

- the model number on the back

- device info in system info

- bootloader lock status

- rom version that's installed

- both IMEI via Xiaomi's Verify Your Phone Purchase

- whether I can connect to LTE Band 20

Fingers crossed!!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
I trust him, I spent a while going through his reviews. Plus it does say Global in the listing quite specifically AND it says it comes with the EU plug! A lot of work for Chinese devices.

We will find out tomorrow I guess! Ebay has a 30 day refund policy.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Indeed. I'll let you know what they say if they respond to my message or I'll post an update here once I confirm.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Should have my blower about midday
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
OK I've got mine!

I got the same answer too from the seller.

The IMEI both say International verison.

With the LTE Discovery app, its connected to band 3, how can I check if band 20 is there?

Also attached is the bootloader check, all seems well I think!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Also this is a photo of the LTE discovery app
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Ten minutes til mine!

Sounds promising!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
This is a tricky one because you have to be within range of a mast that supports band 20, in my location of the the UK there isn't 1 mast that supports band 20 in my area
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
And just to add, the device info from this UK ebay seller is M1902F1G

So all should be good, just need to confirm I can connect to band 20 but I do have full 4g signal on band 3 indoors at the moment
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
You could try * # * # 4636 # * # * & see if that gives you any band information, pretty sure that's the secret menu code that you put in on the dialer, I may be mistaken though
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Thanks, although no that doesn't unfortunately show anything specific about bands...

Hmmm
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Might sound a little drastic but you could ring your network provider and ask them the closest mast with band 20 for you & go there, I rang EE to verify the masts in my area before pre-ordering the Chinese Mi 9 Transparent, they said the lack of Band 20 wouldn't matter

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

All looks good, little curious to why the charger screen is set to false but that's besides the point
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Yeah, is that normally enabled by default? This at least can be enabled by a fastboot command
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
In my experience with other devices it's normally enabled
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RaduG:
I just ordered it from ebay and it should arrive tomorrow. Good to be back on Android after a year on iOS and XDA for that matter.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Hmm a small mystery, but so far all points are positive. IMEI Checks out, model number, device info etc. Wonder if there's anything else I can do to check?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Band 20 would be icing on the cake but again, difficult to verify, on my current device I only get Band 3 from the lack of masts supporting Band 20 in my area
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
What's the language when you turn it on?I bought a Chinese Samsung tablet and if was indeed in Chinese til I set it to English!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Yeah it's tricky! Hmm but so far so well, I mean I have full 4g in home and tomorrow I fly to France, so can test bands there too I guess

It was English, and then there was a system update ready too, so now on latest MIUI 10.2.12.0 Stable
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
This latest update
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Looking positive isn't it!

My dude is 4 stops away, gah
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Notice the "EU" in the software update name, that also is a indication you have a Global device as I'm pretty sure only the Global OTA's for Mi 9 have that, I wouldn't worry at this point, think we've pretty much confirmed it to be Global :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mr-mauro:
I've received my Mi 9 ordered from Amazon Italy here in UK this morning :)

There is no reason so to wait until it is officially released. Especially because if they keep the same price scheme that they have now, it would be £399 that is more than €450 (even with a weak pound :P)

As there is no reason to buy from eBay seller that sell it at £450... Higher price and probably not as good support as Amazon in case of any problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
I wanted 128gb!

Ooh it's here. Global version. It's gorgeous!

Thanks for the heads up cd993!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] manus31:
Only reason people buying from ebay is because it's the only seller with the 128gb version,64gb version not worth it IMO
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
This phone is amazing, so glad I didn't wait
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RaduG:
Which charger does it come with? The 18W one?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
18w

But I have a European model in the UK so I bought a generic charger off Amazon supporting quickcharge and it does, indeed, charge quickly
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] vimto25:
I got mine from eBay 6gb/128gb black global version.

Came next day delivery £449 with warrenty.

Bargain!

Absolutly love this phone much better than my pixel 3,OnePlus 6t,note 9.

Camera is the best I've seen front and back.

Black is much more elegant than the others it's like a shiny grey looks better in your hand than in the pictures you see

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Definitely reason why I got mine of eBay seller. Well worth the money
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Just to say, finally left my house and changed area - connected to band 20 :)

Not like I needed that final confirmation, but here we go anyways!

Off to the airport now to visit Nice in France for a week :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Congrats mate, have a good time!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Thanks mate!

Gonna create a "Post your pictures taken with your Mi 9" thread soon, when I take my first nice pictures out and about :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] OverlordBubbles:
Top man. Mine has just been delivered. On my way home now.

Cheers for the updates. Appreciate it.

Have fun on your jollys!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Boom! Enjoy your new toy!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Loving it but there's Chinese characters on the notification shade on the lock screen? It knows I'm on the UK and I've been through all language setting... It's probably a MIUI quirk, but how do I change it?

If you have an ebay device, try playing music and locking it, and you'll see it.

Where to configure?

Edit: added screenshot. Yes it's a tiny issue!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] OverlordBubbles:
Looks amazing.

Was yours already set up? I've just done a factory reset.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
My was clean and prompted the initial setup etc. Did yours? Also a system update was available too
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] OverlordBubbles:
Nah, was already set up. No update available. I smell shenanigans!

Factory reset solved.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Hmm weird. Was yours from ebay UK?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] OverlordBubbles:
It was yeah.

Ordered it on Friday evening. Seemed to have an email address added to it and location set to Italy.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
That is weird. Perhaps email the seller and ask for a reason? Hmm guess though though so long as all is well and you're happy, then it's still a keeper
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] OverlordBubbles:
Looks brand new, stickers still on. Just quite bizarre. Sent the seller a quick message.

The update has come through just now after fully setting it up.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] awhir:
Anyone know whats the usual timeframe for a release in the UK after the Chinese and EU launch?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Anyone?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RaduG:
First impressions: gorgeous! Feels great in the hand, the display is amazing, everything is smooth. I'll post more thoughts but for now it looks like a huge upgrade to my old iPhone 7 Plus!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Try a factory reset & clear cache, if this doesn't help, report it as a bug to the MIUI team
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Just tested, seemingly no Chinese text for me
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RaduG:
No Chinese text for me either.

Has anyone tried Google Pay at all? Just went to Sainsbury's and it didn't work, the POS threw an error beep sound. Apple pay works because I use it every time.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Get this free app...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.guenthers.safetynet

Does it all pass ok?

I presume your card is all setup in Google Pay? As in your card says "Default" and not awaiting setup or authorisation or anything?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RaduG:
It passes all checks. The card is set up, approved by the bank, everything should work -- actually I have 3 cards set up and tried all 3 (Amex / MC / Visa). I don't know how those POSs are set up here, but can you have a POS that works fine with Apple Pay but not Google Pay?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Hmm possibly, not fully sure I'm afraid!

Perhaps try at another shop when you get chance.

Good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
The fact it beeped is a indication that the NFC module is working fine, & if you're passing safetynet then there is no other reason I'm aware of other than a issue with your card, or the machine, I'd definitely try another store
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] RaduG:
Will do tomorrow. In your experience, how well is Google Pay supported? I've never had any problems with Apple Pay in over a year as long as the POS supported contactless payments.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Never tried it with a Xiaomi device, only with Huawei but it worked flawlessly
