[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
It's not that odd, the phone is warranteed. Personally, I register the warranty on everything I buy that costs a lot of money. At this point Xiaomi may make occasionally blunders. But I truly believe that they are highly ethical. They have had none of the Drama that certain other companies have had and they are one of the few who still allows for the bootloader to be unlocked.

There is plenty you can do, if you are fully updated to the recent Miui 11, you can turn off as, and using a non root ad blocking program such as Blokada or a Firewall program such as Adclear.. which works well.

Google how to properly bind your account to device or it could take longer. Your account must be bound to MiCloud and syncing. Once that part is setup then you can unlock the bootloader after 15 days.

Once you understand how it works you will find that it's actually very easy.

On the other hand, other devices such as One Plus are actually much more of a pain ( for some) due to their partitioning privileges structure.

Bide your time, and you will find it surely worthwhile. Slot of good information is available here in XDA which can be supplemented further by participating in Mi Community, at least initially, there is a lot of good steps with illustrations available and the users are highly active with being helpful.

Edit: Absolutely make sure that you register with correct information or you will be screwed. The account register your and IMEI, which again makes the phone much more secure.

Finally, during the 2 weeks read and take notes, this way you will know exactly what to do, when it's time to unlock the bootloader. I suggest using the Xiaomi. EU rom but that's a personal preference, there are plenty of time to choose from.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] robneymcplum:
sadly I cant use this phone with my proper, usual sim card as I cant use it daily without root features I need, so I just have it with a spare sim in it for the 2 weeks and leave it at home, using my current phone. I will then unlock it with this spare sim in and then do the bootloader/twrp/kernals/roms...etc which I'm guessing will be ok to do? I wont be using a miui rom on it when it's finished, I had no intention of using miui when I got the phone, it was only bought for the hardware.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfein:
As you know, the WP8.1 Store will be closed December 16 2019, and we will no longer be able to download apps.

For some time the Store has been a mess and people are already unable to download apps. Yes, even before the closing date.

The question is: How can we unlock our phones now?

The unlocking methods relies on downloading apps from the Store, like "Preview for Developers", "MixRadio", "HERE Maps" and File Managers.

People who didn't unlock their phones are hopeless? The ones that did unlock and need to reflash the .ffu are hopeless too?

EDIT: Just read about Windows Phone Internals, but some devices are missing in the supported list, including mine.

EDIT2: Some roms have MixRadio installed by default, so it is possible to easily unlock them.

Also downloaded Windows Phone Internals, and to my surprise, my phone is in the supported list (inside the software), although it is not listed at the site.

EDIT3: I got too focused on having the required apps available from the store that I forgot the most important part/tool to unlock the phone: The Windows Phone Developer Registration 8.1 tool. Unfortunately the last time I tried to unlock my phone (some days ago) I wasn't able to, and received an error.

Going by comments, other people have the same issue.

I'm afraid at this point they might not have any incentive to fix this. They can wait until the store closes in one month and forget about it.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaNgamdurvaani:
Developer unlock via Windows Phone SDK Lite not working now ... strangely

Issue is these methods rely on the phone being developer unlocked but today I'm facing an issue where the Windows Phone SDK registration tool refuses to unlock my Lumia 520 on a different CV ROM. Not sure what the issue is since I successfully unlocked it twice in the past couple of days. I know this because I'd installed the CustomWPSystem_0700.xap and applied CustomPFD_0003.xap successfully both times.

But today, it just refuses to go beyond ""Error logging into the Windows Phone Dev Center. Check your Microsoft Account credentials and try again"" and I've no idea why. Funny thing is, it would give the same error on previous tries but the phone would be unlocked!

I understand the WPI method but it feels like overkill with higher risks to do all that for just a few registry changes to trigger updates.

And I don't have much use of a boot loader unlocked or rooted device as of today. Research didn't bring up much help either so I'm thinking of installing the last WP SDK from VS 2015 and see if it does the job.

But yes, though Microsoft says they don't have any immediate plans to remove the updates for the phones, the methods of getting those updates might become problematic.

Hi

I tried searching for this error 0x80072f78 message and I don't seem to get this message under the same conditions listed in the posts that I've found. I am getting the message at random in PIE with either GPRS/3G or when connected by USB. I have no problems downloading mail but can't use anything else for data (google maps etc). It doesn't happen every time but is very spotty. ATT tech support was no help as usual. I applied the registry change in the posts that discuss this error in relation to USB/active sync only and it did nothing. I'm using the latest att rom.

Any suggestions would be welcome

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi Band 4 Questions & Answers] Bueb:
Hi

Is anyone here using the Sleep as Android App with MiBand 4 ?

SAA has a point where you can select the MiBand. But in which app do I have to set the alarm, so that it wakes me in the Early Bird phase? I know it works in the Notify and Fitness app too, but I find SAA more accurate. How did you do that?
[Xiaomi Mi Band 4 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
I was using it for a while, but I didn't like the results so I have only N&F and Mi Fit now. From time to time I run SAA with sonar detection, but without the band. I do not use smart alarms (tried them once or twice).

Well, you obviously want to set the alarm in the app you want to use. :) In your case it's in SAA - set the alarm as in any other clock app and define your desired "smart alarm period". To be on the safe side, during testing set also a backup alarm in "normal" app, which will go off in case that you misconfigure SAA.

Please let us know your first hand experience with this feature once you test it.
