[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
Hello everyone,

I have got a mountain of questions that arised from reading the forum and a lot of different topics.

I'll have numbers on them, so if you can/want to only answer a few of them you can refer to the number.

1. I've read about this ARB quite a lot, what's the deal with that if I want to go to a custom rom?

2. I understood that it matters where to buy the device in terms of an unlocked bootloader (TradingShenzen seems like a good place to start). But if I can't get my hands on a phone with unlocked bootloader, can I unlock it myself?

3. I'd like to go with the xiaomi.eu rom, any advice on how to get there? What I mean is, should I choose a CN model or is a Global model better, does it matter? What steps to take regarding TWRP and avoiding ARB, etc.

4. What does GSI stand for? I haven't found any thread explaining what that means, and I'm quite new to xiaomi devices (would be my first one).

5. I've also seen that there are quite a few different variants of this device, do the roms for it just work on all of them or do I need to check if the model is supported? (That seems to be a bit different to other phone vendors)

That's it for now, please don't kill me if some of the things have been answered before, I haven't found an answer to the questions so far (the infos that I got so far were insufficient)

Cheers,

Zacki

1 Google introduced ARB, a safeguard to not create an older version of the system from the currently released. If you install the official older version of the system for a new one, you will wall your phone.

Does not apply to Custom ROM

2 You can unblock the bootloader yourself on the official xiaomi website. It takes about 300 hours

3 unlock the bootloader, install recovery, install xiaomi.eu. Global rom is more stable, but xiaomi.eu has more personalization options. Recently, xiaomi.eu does not cause problems on Mi Max3, but it causes problems on other models.

4 GSI https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi

5 Mi Max3 Global 4gb RAM 64gb internal memory,

Mi Max China 6gb RAM 128gb internal memory

You can install the Global ROM on the china version if you have unlocked the boootloader, and remember about the ARB. Otherwise, you will wall your phone

The Global version is popular.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
Thanks for your reply.

@1. Interesting to see what Google is up to with things like this...why would they want this?

@2. Thanks, but whoa that's quite some time...and I guess I can only trigger the 300h AFTER I bought the phone, right? (Why so many hours actually...?)

@3. I've read about the changes they made to the rom and I like that. But what do you mean with being "less stable" than the global rom? In what way? I'd like to use that as my daily driver if I get it (not the weekly builds of course).

@4. Will have a look, thanks :good:

@5. I was actually looking at the 6GB/128GB version of the phone, if I can convince my wife to allow me to spend ~260€ on a phone (I'm currently a student :D ).

In this case, I'd already have an unlocked bootloader and if I want to install the rom from xiaomi.eu, there should be no problem, right? Also regarding ARB, this should be fine, right?

And in what ways are the CN and the Global versions different other than the rom? Are there differences for the supported bands or radios? I live in Austria, can I use the CN model here without any downside?

Edit: I'm having a look at this particular model, it would be available with CN firmware or with Global firmware. Would that still account as CN model in this case?

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Bartos81:
Google thinks people should use the latest system because it provides better security.

Xiaomi introduced a long wait time to unlock the bootloader, because dishonest sellers offered CN versions outside of China and India by installing the Global system on it. The CN version is only for China and India.

Xiaomi.eu provides its system every week. Contains various patches and additions. Sometimes something does not work, payments, BT paired in the car, notifications etc. In my phone, the last two versions do not work Gmail notifications. In today's version, people write that OK Google is not working.

If you unlock the bootloader, you can install xiaomi.eu. The ARB will be kept at the level of the official system you had.

The CN system contains only Chinese and English. It does not offer Google Play, it also contains full Chinese software.

Version 6/128 is only a CN model. If the seller offers with the Global system, it means that he has unlocked the bootloader and installed the Global system. You naturally lose the Xiaomi warranty.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
Ok got that, seems like people are trying everything to make a few bucks extra... Then it would have to be so (waiting).

Ok that's not such a big issue, as I said. I'd stay on the "stable" builds, not the weekly ones.

So the xiaomi.eu roms don't have any of that ARB stuff, good to know. Could I technically install an older version of that custom rom without triggering the ARB or is that not possible? Just so I understand that.

And how is that with other custom roms? I've read in some threads that you have to make sure you have the correct ARB if you want to flash that particular rom, why that?

I'm not worried about the warranty but more about the specifics of the device. Is the CN model different in any way that it may not work properly with the providers in europe? Or things like that?

And sadly that vendor does not seem to have that version in stock at the moment, so I was thinking of getting the regular CN version of the device, that's why I'm asking :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Bartos81:
As for xiaomi.eu it does not contain ARB, but there are exceptions. If the phone gets an update to android 9 - xiaomi.eu must use the full original xiaomi firmware from ARB. The next versions on the same adroid no longer have files responsible for ARB.

Current level of ARB = 4 from Oreo to Pie. What you can not do:

to install MIUI9,

to install Miui Global on a CN version phone with a locked bootloader

block in the bootloader if you have Miui Global on your CN

install Miui China on a Global phone and block the bootloader.

Custom GSI roms do not have an ARB, you can install anything.

Mi Max 3 in the CN version in addition to the system and memory does not differ from the specification from Global. Will work in Austria.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
So if I get the phone with Android 8.1 and I want to get MIUI 10 (Android 9) I need to update with the official rom and then flash the xiaomi.eu rom?

And while we are at that, if I buy the CN variant, do I have to upgrade to PIE with the CN official rom or can I also do this with the Global rom to get ARB to 4?

And what't the deal with the developer versions of the original roms? I've read something about them but would that help me in any way?

Found that website in another thread: Link

Ok but once the bootloader is open, why relock it anyway?^^ And I've read that on the xiaomi.eu roms you can not accidentaly relock the bootloader.

Working in Austria sounds good, but what exactly do you mean with "in addition to system and memory". The system and memory are different in the two versions and the rest is the same? Is there anything I should be aware of while using the phone?

Oh and by the way, thank you for answering all my questions :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Bartos81:
it's not like that. You do not need to update the system. Xiaomi.eu is built with miui china developer extended to additional language translations, optimizations of softu for Europeans and a few additions that occur only in the Chinese version of the miui.

The whole system, firmware and kernel is miui china. If you install xiaomi.eu then you install the entire system, with the firmware and kernel. They are suitable for the android version.

You can have miui global Oreo and install xiaomi.eu Pie. Everything will be updated.

Miui Global is available in Stable and Dev versions. Dev-Beta is a development version released every week, contains the latest security, system fixes and errors detected in the Stable version, as well as new additions that are tested and do not always have to work correctly (like the development version of xiaomi.eu). As developers will correct detected errors, the stable version is created.

I just installed myself Global dev. I like it more than xiaomi.eu. Everything works so far. I usually use Global dev, and xiaomi.eu tests once in a while.

Some block the bootloader from ignorance or inadvertently.

When installing a new ROM by MiFlash, you have the following options:

install and block the bootloader (by default selected)

clean everything and install

save data and install

the parameters of the telephone accessories and the frequency ranges of the network are the same. The difference is 6gb RAM, 128gb Internal memory and MIUI china.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
Ok sounds good, so if I want to go for the xiaomi.eu rom, I can just go ahead an flash that thing and I'm good, that's what I understood. Is that correct?

Interesting, because I've read somewhere that the normal and the dev version are more or less the same, just that you have to use the dev version in certain situations to "unbrick" because of something with the bootloader (but I don't actually remember the details).

I've also read about that tool, is it required to flash roms or can I do that via TWRP? And why would such an option be selected by default...? :confused: I've already seen someone brick his device because of that :(

Ok got that, and the MIUI china doesn't really matter once I'm on the xiaomi.eu rom.

Good, I think I might actually see that I can get the cash together and order the phone :) Getting excited now.

Any resources I should read before I might do something stupid?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Bartos81:
If you have an unlocked bootloader then you install twrp and flash xiaomi.eu

Using dev to unlock the bootloader affected old phones. Currently, it does not matter. Rom useful as well as Stable.

Miflash is used to install only official miui Rom, you use the rom .Tgz package

It installs through Miflash with the cleaning option. It does not leave garbage in the old system.

If you have xiaomi.eu then china rom does not matter.

You can look for a seller who offers a phone with downloaded xiaomi.eu or miui global - to choose from

in the past, the sellers offered the china version.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
So last question for now (I hope :D ), if I decide to get the EU version instead, can I still unlock the bootloader or is that only possible on the CN versions?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Bartos81:
you can in any xiaomi
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
I've just read in another thread that it is 720 hours :eek: that's full 30 days... I hope it's more the 300 hours you said but I fear I might have to wait a full month for that...

Can anyone confirm this number of hours?

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Bartos81:
Usually it is 720 hours, but I checked it every now and then, after 4 days, this time has decreased by half.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] techdeisel:
It's 100% not decreased or changed it 720 hours. Unless you had a mi account before an unlocked a phone
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zacki06:
That is an interesting note. I created an account a few days ago, when I ordered the phone. Does this already count as "having an account before trying to unlock"?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jake21:
I picked up a USA unlocked note 9 recently. The sound volume is mostly fine for most things (including notifications). However, the speaker phone is very soft. Is there anyway to boost the volume on the speaker phone ? I hear the s10+ is better but i just got this thing so would like to find a work around if one exists.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
There's a few audio boosters in the playstore. Would advise to be cautious and don't go overboard.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] 1987yeah:
But will P10 Lite really get Android 9 Pie too? We still don't understand well ..

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] nemanjsb:
90% no...
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] JowyOMac:
probably at the end of the summer, since now some devices are testing it.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Cannon_Foddr:
I'm not holding my breath..

IMHO I think Huawei would be concentrating more on their newer models with better cpu/memory/battery etc than worry about a 2 yr old phone

The only way I think the P10Lite will get 9 Pie would be from a Custom Rom & not official sources
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cbr150r:
I think Note9 512GB/8GB is sufficient enough to keep all applications in background.

But mine keeps closing apps when I don't use it for about 4~8 hours (ie overnight).

I tried to disable any battery optimization options, RAM management, etc... even lock app in multitask view...

but no successful, apps still closed after ~4-8 hours. I don't care about battery consumption.

My questions:

1. Is my phone normal or yours can keep apps in background for more than 8 hours?

2. any way to keep the app running in background forever?

OS is Pie w Mar-1 Security patch level.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sullytrny:
My advice let it close what it want's then as Apps misbehave adjust there power settings individually. For me personally that's about 12 apps... And this time I was smart I created a folder and created screenshots of all of them so I when do a clean install or reset I can fix everything quicker!

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] kflash06:
Hello everyone,

I took advantage of a trip to Shenzhen to buy a Double Sim Mate 20 Pro 128GB LYA-AL00.

Is there a way to put an European rom on it? I have a lot of bloatware, useless Chinese applications and I only get notifications from WeChat, it's annoying ... lol.

If a solution exists, it will be great! :D
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I read on Funky Huawei's Twitter feed that they were able to install the global ROM on a Chinese M20P but it did not rebrand the phone to a different region.

Since bootloader unlock codes seem to be available again there might be some ROM development.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] kflash06:
Unfortunately Funkyhuawei does not respond to my tweets or emails. So, I do not know if something is possible or not. Currently the Chinese Rom is full of bloatware, I have big problems of notifications and the applications of background. If anyone has any advice to give me or a procedure to follow, I want to try because despite this smartphone is great, this ROM is very difficult for me.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Mini Jay:
In the notifications section from the settings have you enabled notifications for your apps ?

I am facing problem while playing media files like YouTube or any other media file, voice coming through the earpiece only most of the time same like during call.

Even sometimes when i open the phone and up or down volume button it show "In-Call Volume"... i tried to reset the handset 3-4 times but i am facing same problem.

[HTC Excalibur] memorylasts:
before people flame me, i have been searching the forum for the answer on this for a while now, and i cannot seem to find it. oh, and this is my first post so hello! i have been lurking for a while now.

i get this when i use the sirius wm5 program to stream "an unknown error 0x8007007a has occurred" i am using the wmp to process the playing of the stream.

i am using ricky's v23 no opera wm 6.1 rom, on a t-mo dash. any input would greatly be appreciated...
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Ummm.... do you have internet connection setup with T mobile or your service provider. And if you do what plan do you have?
[HTC Excalibur] memorylasts:
i have the unlimited internet/data with t-mo, i have run the connection setup, and everything else seems to be working i can tether and it works fine.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh well does the internet work fine?
[HTC Excalibur] memorylasts:
internet works just fine.... seems slow, but other then that.... it is only edge..
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Ummm, I do not know then what the problem is. Let me try to figure it out.
[HTC Excalibur] memorylasts:
thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
The problem i think is streaming though edge. Try to connect to wifi and see if you get the same problem.
[HTC Excalibur] memorylasts:
still have that error come up when i am just on wifi. i essentially put it in "airplane mode" except for wifi, and i connected to my home network and it would get the validation image, and then connect, and then it would error out in wmplayer. i also downloaded and try tcpmp, still have a error.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
ummm. did you try to google something regarding that error.

this is what i found

0x8007007a: The data area passed to a system call is too small.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q246865 (Oct. 22, 2000)
[HTC Excalibur] memorylasts:
i looked at that and well the registry it describes doesnt exist, i have the hkey users and then there is only a value of default, and that is for a computer, and not a smart phone from what it appears....
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Ummm... I just skimmed it, I didnt look to much into it... I do not know honestly what the problem is, I could look more into it and get back but it seems to be some setting or misconfiguration problem.
[HTC Excalibur] memorylasts:
thats what i am figuring....i am not sure what to do.... i might just have to reload the rom and see what happens.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Try reloading the rom i have posted below and use those settings to configure the internet, tzones, etc. from my signature below ok.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MaXmeOliver:
Has anyone here tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds with the P20 Pro? Does it work well?

I'm considering buying them but I have concerns regarding the bluetooth codec compatability and the difference in bluetooth versions.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] The-Last-Hylian:
There was a review published by The Verge yesterday for the Galaxy Buds - they don't seem all that tbh.

Might be worth looking at something else?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] PitchCD:
I have them since yesterday. They use AAC on the P20 pro (even though thats not a supported codec according to Huawei's spec sheet) and seem to work fine so far. No connection drop outs if I am in the proximity of my phone. Pairing was easy with the Samsung Wearable app.

I watched the video too. I used the Taotronics BH-026 (bluetooth but not truly wireless) until I got the buds. Sound quality is similar as long as you activate the dynamic equalizer in the app. Cannot say if thats a good thing or not since I am comparing them to 20 € headphones.

I dont think the ambient sound mode is not as "roboty" as the verge says but more a gimic than a useful feature. The microphones seem to do an acceptable job with a recording app but I have not tried to do an extended phone call with them.
