[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Andreaxmi:
Hi,

Which are the differences between Global Miui (the ones that ends with PFGMIXM) and EEA Miui (the ones that ends with PFGEUXM)?

If I live in Italy, can I install one or the other indifferently?

Is this the official site with the most recent roms?

https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1700360

Thank you very much for the answers.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Simo1499:
i'm italian but i have to write in english,basically the firmware changes based on the region,ours is the european one (EEA) and we can only install (officially) just that firmware. If you try to install a firmware for a another region it will give you error
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Andreaxmi:
Grazie Simo,

currently I have installed the European firmware (PFGEUXM), but if I change the region to Switzerland or Turkey, can I install the global firmware (PFGMIXM)?

I just ask to know, I don't care about changing the Miui from EEA to Global, it's just that I would like to understand what are the differences.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Simo1499:
no,it isn't the same thing. Without modding you can't change anything
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] mbwf:
NEVER ask this question to a Xiaomi person - you'll waste hours OR DAYS of your life going round and round in circles, and ALL you'll end up with, as a summary, will be something as braindead, obvious and mind-numbing as an "answer" like this:

"EEA is for EEA or European handsets, and global is for global handsets..." etcetera, etcetera, etcetera... -_-

YES YES, we KNOW there ARE different versions, but WE are asking YOU, WHY those versions differ, and what is contained within them that MAKES them different (seriously, I've Googled this stuff for AGES, and the ridiculous responses make me despair for the apparent TOTAL absence of sane, intelligent insight OR critical thought employed by the hive-mind, copy/paste society we live in now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Kiruke:
I will try to give a simple answer.

EEA - European ROM. Has to comply with EU regulations, it doesn't send any data to Xiaomi. Fewer updates than global.

Global - The most updated after China ROM, usually installed on phones outside Europe. It sends some data to Xiaomi, gets more updates and more quickly.

These should be the major differences, I hope I have explained them in a simple way.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] rossarnie:
What you want, in other words, is a modded China ROM, which doesn't send (much) data back to the land of the Cultural Revolution.

I just bought a Daxian X999+/T32, loaded my backup and now the phone is locked and it wont accept my unlock code! Anyone know how to bypass it or do a hard reset w/o accessing the phone?:confused:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Nick767:
Can anyone recommend a super slim case for the 4XL? Something similar to the Bare Naked case, but either much cheaper or higher quality? the Bare case I had on my 3XL was super cheap quality with rough edges and let a lot of dirt etc in between it and the phone. Have currently got a Caseology case on my 4XL but its pretty bulky.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
You have that Caseology Skyfall case too? It's nice to show off the color but it is bulky and heavy. I got this one yesterday. It's cheap, a little less bulky, and lighter.

MNML has a case but they're on the pricey side and the two I had for the Pixel 2 XL to warp to where it wasn't as snug anymore.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Nick767:
It's a Caseology Solid Flex Crystal that I have, its not massive but I find it bulky. I think the MNML one sounds very similar to the issues I had with the Bare case, recently you could almost rattle the phone around within the case. Was hoping someone made a decent quality really thin case, I'm not too fussed about drop protection, just need a way to avoid scratches and wear and tear
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] mike.jenkins:
Spigen thin fit had one on my note10+
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] onebelo:
I loved the pitaka case on the pixel 2 xl and although they didn't come out with one for the 3 xl, it still worked every though it didn't line up perfectly. Unfortunately i can't use it anymore on the 4. They have no plans to make one either. That's been the best and thinnest feeling case I've used while still being really solid. Such a shame.

I have the mmnl on order so we'll see how that goes. I also have a skin on order as well so i might just go naked with just a skin to protect the back from scratches. With the matte sides, its not slippery at all so i might go that route.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I'm think of getting one in white.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] y2whisper:
Have used this one. like it for the slimness. it holds on to any type of oils from your hand though. Easily wiped off if need be. (this is for the black one though)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] radon222:
I hear ya on the Pitaka. I love it on my Pixel 2 and was really bummed to see they didn't do one for the 3's and probably won't for the 4's. I wonder if it being a magnetic case interfered with wireless charging? That obviously was not a concern with the 2 and 2XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
I've got an esr appro on the way, it looks similar to the mofi cases I've gotten from Ali for my 2 and 3 which are super slim. they're nice, but only really offer scratch protection. the mofis had no lip for the front, jsyk
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] onebelo:
wireless charging shouldnt be the reason though since new iphone and samsung has it too which they still make cases for. I asked and they gave the same answer, due to low demands they have no plans to make one for pixel 4.. The magnet on the pitaka case doesnt cover alot of the case so still works on most wireless chargers. It works inconsistently on the PIxel stand though..

Anyhow, just got the dbrand skin in. Pretty nice ... will see how it is as a daily. got a few cases coming in that i'll give a try.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] DinarQ8:
High recommendation https://mnmlcase.com/ [emoji16]
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] onebelo:
Just got the mnml case on the mail today. Fits really nice and very thin. Much thinner than other cases i have tried including the ones recommended in this thread. Just hope it doesn't warp over time like others have mentioned ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] cstark27:
Just don't take it off a lot and you'll be fine.

Here's the MNML vs the ESR Essential Zero (quite a bit thicker than the MNML). https://photos.app.goo.gl/vUBq1HMjPPwAaH6S7

Also, PixelLoyalty is a good discount code.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] g4Nk:
Have you tried the Spigen Liquid Crystal? It's been my go to case for my past 3 phones (Pixel XL, Pixel 2 XL, and now Pixel 4 XL).
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] c_86:
Code doesn't work
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] cstark27:
Aw, they must have just pulled it at midnight. P4reddit and MNML20 are others.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
Thanks for the pics.

I'm very interested in the MNML and your pics make me more interested.

I ordered the esr essential zero, esr mimic and spigen liquid crystal for my 4xl and ended up keeping the mimic as it felt and looked the best.

I will say the esr essential zero definitely was nicer than the spigen liquid crystal, or should I say slimmer.

The MNML looks to be even slimmer and that's enticing.

Food for thought.

Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] 21cdb:
I have the Spigen Thin Fit for my 4XL, and it's mostly OK, but it sticks up a bit too much for it to be comfortable to use with gestures. Especially since it has really sharp edges. I ended up not using it for that reason. It would have been perfect if the edges didn't stick up so much past the screen on the sides. The grip is really good on my black one, but someone commented that the white one was slippery.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
I was messing around and was able to order the totallee thin case for $15. It's regularly $29.

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with it and what the opinion was on it.

It's got a 30 day money back guarantee, so I can return it. I'm intrigued with how thin it's supposed to be.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] cstark27:
Peel, MNML, Totallee are all the same/similar.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
But is it any good?

Fit, feel?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] cstark27:
Using the MNML Frosted White right now.

The fit is great. It's like a perfect fit around the camera bump (no gap that I can see). There's no lip on this case. I'm getting the Skinomi edge to edge screen film so I hope it fits fine, should be ok since the MNML doesn't wrap around to the front like other cases. Day 1 you will think it's super slippery (feels like the matte black sides of the Pixel 4) but after day 2 or 3 they are more grippy for me (from oil buildup I suppose?). As mentioned before, don't take it off a lot because it's such a tight fit and a rigid plastic, that is where you'll start to "warp" the case. If you truly want the thinnest case you can find, these are it. It's basically a skin that you don't have to **** with applying.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] mdmogren:
I tried the the Temdan (way too thick and buttons extremly stiff) and the ESR (a little better, buttons work well). I had the ESR for P3 and it yellowed very quickly.

I have been seeing ads in my Instagram for this, but can't vouch for it personally. https://www.bare-cases.com/products/bare-naked-for-google-pixel-4-4-xl

Ultimately, I decided to go naked this time around and just enjoy the look and feel of my phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
Thanks for the detailed review. I'm looking forward to it. Thin will be great!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
it's a different class of case. the mnml is really just a wafer thin coating that will offer scratch protection. the others are slim you cases that will offer some basic drop protection, which comes at the expense of some added thickness. still, they aren't cases that'll take a beating. if you're a super careful but paranoid person the mnml/peel/appro is the case for you. if you're pretty careful, then something like the liquid crystal or zero (or even the mimic) is a good, slim option. beyond that you're looking at more rugged cases, and if you're in that class something like the unicorn beatle pro is a great option
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] razrlover:
I got the black one, love it for minimal case. Has small lip for screen protection, light, minimal, just like they used to be. I will be buying white when it comes out for pixel 4
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] ebb:
I've used this case on my last 3 devices and it's great, but you are correct that the bottom lip interferes with Gestures (as probably will be an issue with most others). I was able to slice off the top portion just above the opening for the charging port, without affecting the fit of the case, and now Gestures are fine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Zorachus:
I'm surprised no ones mentioned the X-Level case? They are very slim thin, but with just enough to give a mini lip over the screen, and grippy feel. I'd say it's the thinnest case I like, without going to the paper thin almost useless MNML type cases;

[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] 21cdb:
I finally got my MNML case (took forever), matte black. I absolutely love it so far. I know it won't do much in terms of protection if I drop it, but it feels great, and adds no bulk. I think coupled with a screen protector this will be perfect for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] GKalle:
It's slippery?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] 21cdb:
It's not super grippy, but not as slippery as I had feared. I have dry hands, so I need a little bit of grip, and this seems fine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] rootdude:
Not sure if anyone cares or not but Pitaka has Pixel 4/XL cases now... but they are not shipping from the US, so it takes more than a month for them to get here. Still waiting for mine. I've always loved the Pitaka style cases... I'll update once I receive it with a short review.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
got my pitaka case after around 1.5 weeks to Germany, really nice case.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] t1mman:
Anyone with an Ultra Thin case (Like Peel, totallee or MNML), do you feel it provides enough protection? If you where to drop it, would it be enough to prevent break / cracks in the glass?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
There's is absolutely no drop protection on any of those thin cases. You'll most likely dent and/or crack your phone as if it had no case. Those cases are basically good for scratch protection. I had 3 MNML cases for my 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] t1mman:
Thanks for the answer, got this one instead, hope it protects a little more!

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B082LT9WNN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yes a TPU case will always provide better drop protection than the previously mentioned ones.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] tysj:
I have had the X-Level case for my Pixel 2XL, Pixel 3, and Pixel 4. Always a good balance between actual slimness and protection. All phones have survived the one or two drops in those cases. :good::good:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] t1mman:
Update for those looking for a good slim cases that does protects the device, the XSlim is pretty spot on!

It got bumps all the way around, even in the camera:

[IMG="Bump1"]https://i.imgur.com/dcLlaIF.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Bump2"]https://i.imgur.com/skMEh6B.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="CameraBump"]https://i.imgur.com/QfqM7xs.jpg[/IMG]

it feels soft and, weirdly comforting! The one I had on my previous phone (V30) was somewhat more rigid. This one being more "Rubbery" you feel like it can take a drop (I won't test it, tough!)

It won't add a lot of "thickness" too, it feels totally slim! You know it's there, still! You're not "bare" but it's a lesser evil where you feel protected but you don't feel like having a "glove"!

By the way Pitaka case is available on Amazon or their website

I ordered one yesterday
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] 1dopewrx05:
Received mine a few days ago as well and I couldn't love it more. I've had a magCase on my Galaxy S8 Plus, Pixel 2 XL and now Pixel 4 XL. They are beyond a shadow of a doubt the best minimalist case on the market. Paired with their magMount qi in my car, it just doesn't get better.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
except that it maxes out at 5W charging (the qi wireless mount :/ ) but otherwise their products are nice!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] nds850:
The Pitaka case is really nice and fits perfectly. Only negative so far is that it's a bit difficult to take off.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] 1dopewrx05:
Wait, what mount are you using? Mine maxes 10W and I am seeing 10W on my P4XL and I even have the older model MagMount QI, the one without the fan in it. I've had it for coming up on two years now and it's fantastic.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Yeah it's difficult to remove. The easiest way I've found is to pry the top right corner off the phone first, then the bottom right corner, then the whole right side pops out and the phone will come out.

I'm using the qi wireless magnetic mount (with the fan) mine is charging pretty slow...or the adapter is bad... Well I tried another qc3 and it was the same... Even pitaka customer service answered that the wireless charger does only 5w max

What screen protector are you using? Seems to have to gaps, especially at the top where are the face I'd

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] t1mman:
I was using none at the time. Now got a cheap Tempered glass, does have gap and isn't really nice, but I saw a micro scratch and I got my hand on the quickest one Amazon could send me...

Kinda bugs me that my Nexus 6 P doesn't have a scratch to this day...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Joh@n:
Can you tell us how much it weighs? Even when the cases are thin, some of them are pretty heavy. I am looking for a thin case, but also a light one... Thank you! :)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] radon222:
I don't have a scale that sensitive, but you won't really notice any extra weight from the X-slim case in your hand.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] t1mman:
For the sake of knowledge:

[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] phrozact:
Do these ultra thin cases tend to expand over time? Quite some time ago I had a MNML case for the iPhone a few generations back, and while it fit great initially, over time there was some expansion happening around the corners making the case fit loosely to the point where the phone could slide a little within the case. I do stay in a country with warm and humid weather, so not sure if that's the cause, but I'm sorta hoping the quality might've improved over time.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
I just got my Latercase and I'm pretty sure this is not going to loosen up over time like my old MNML cases (I had 2 of those for my Pixel 2 XL). Being actual carbon fiber, you can tell how rigged it is.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] paperecho:
They have one for the 4 now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] radon222:
I wonder how long until they have one for the Pixel 5's ;)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] flash713:
I use a Spigen Tough Armor. I've been using them for many years now on my phone's and I've had some serious accidents throughout the years and never any damage done. Although they're slim, they're tough and can take a beating! 😁💯

However I am able to flash miui related custom roms such as xiaomi.eu on my phone, but I am not able non-miui roms such as lineage os, pe, rr and evolution x.
