If I were to get my hands on one, would I be able to put GAPPS on it?

Serious question... Can't live with a phone without GAPPS.

Any serious thoughts about this?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] xchatter:
IMO xiaomi.eu will probably have a ROM for this phone and it will include everything you need.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] s327374:
Thank you for responding. Nothing listed there yet (although, my account registration was considered spam, so I cannot see more than then the basics and cannot interact yet on that site). Is it generally the case that a new Xiaomi phone gets an EU rom even if it is not sold to their market? It is so tempting, to go the xiaomi route, I wish the oneplus 8Tpro was out right now, as I am in the market for a phone in the next two weeks ... not in October. Not sure if I could stomach having an outdated phone after a month or so... Generally, it is nice to have new tech be top shelf for at least a few months, right?

Hmmm - Food for thought.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] xchatter:
Just get whatever you like.

Phones won't stop coming out. Till the end of the year there will be new Huawei, new Pixel, new OnePlus, probably new Oppo.... and then the circle starts all over again. :D
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Clarkie_955i:
This is how I have done it on Mi 9 Transparent Edition. Don't see why it wont be the same.

Yes, it seems that gaps is easily placed on the device. Source: [youtube]KZLGCcW2y1o[/youtube]

Thank you for the response.

And while it would be great to have the best camera... I probably need to buy the oneplus 8 pro. I've gone a long time without active Google assistant, closed bootloader, and (as a non Mandarin user) the annoyance of Chinese menus/ecosystem within an 'English' setting. Also, been without an active community of English using Android users for some time with this Huawei I'm using.

Want to grab a phone next week... And Xiaomi looks like it is using that impossibly annoying hungry marketing technique where the sell a very limited number of phones at a certain time each day. I got 'lucky' buying my Samsung 8 with that type of annoying system on the first day or two, but..... So annoying when you're a bit slow at Chinese and you're actually competing to buy a product. So... Actually... Competing to spend money seems odd too.

Ok. One plus is well over a thousand RMB cheaper where I am too. Lastly, Think I'll enjoy the software experience more and hopefully won't notice the camera too much. Hoping that the October release of 8t Pro will not be too much of a massive upgrade and have me annoyed either

To those who grab the Xiaomi ten Ultra. Enjoy and hope to read some reviews soon.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] xchatter:
Just to give you a heads up -> Xiaomi has a very large and active English community. All phones are easily unlocked and the community have been doing a great job to provide debloated English roms no matter if you buy a Chinese or global variant.

OP 8 Pro is a great device too. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] s327374:
Thank you for your reply. I have always enjoyed tinkering with Xiaomi products and ROMS. I have also often assisted non-tech interested colleagues to put GAPPs on or re-Rom to global over the years I have lived in China. Although it did get a little challenging for a period of a year not too long ago. I actually really love what they do ... and funnily I can see about half a dozen Xiaomi smart devices in the room I am typing from at home right now. Man, I love their door lock!!!! Ha.

I was really going to wait until 21 August 10 am and try to pick one up, then if not, get the Oneplus... but decided against it. A few reasons. I just realised that even if I picked up the way more expensive Samsung Ultra, I am missing out on some Google aspects that I crave and have craved for many years (see my phone history in sig). Even the Global ROMs (no guarantee one will appear for this China-only variant) have trouble using Hey Google natively in my experience - (could be wrong on that one)

Even so, have gone with the Oneplus pro purchase just now and that phone will arrive tomorrow. Would have arrived tonight if I had ordered 10 minutes earlier. lol - nothing like Chinese delivery systems I suppose. Or at least compared to Aus.

Another couple of things did sway me. Xiaomi phones are great but they honestly do sometimes go overboard with their claims. I can't be sure about this device's battery life longevity. Especially considering their claims of 23 minutes for full charge look to be false ( I know still the quickest). I remember their camera claim for 108 Megapixel etc fell short of being a top-line camera despite the hype. Often seem to use an angle that disguises a hidden flaw. Anyway, This understanding, combined with my full google assistant want, means I will miss out on it. Maybe when my wife updates her phone and they are more readily available (seriously, trying to compete with a billion people to purchase an online product when you're hampered by language constraints suck), I can switch her to this 10 Ultra (she takes waaaay better photos than me anyway).

Until then, Look forward to reading more about people's 10 Ultra as time goes by. Seems this is my last post in this forum thread ofor the Ultra for now.

Cheers!

Worth it. Best phone

I came from note 20 ultra and let me tell you this is much more comfortable in hands. Playstore is just one download away from having everything. I'm alsomuch happier using this phone tbh and manage to get back 500usd.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] phibersg:
I got the Ultra yesterday, i can see that most Google stuffs work and i can set them up, no issues with location.

BUT here's what's not working:

1. Google Backup and Restore, stuck at waiting for backup.

2. Google Location History, i saw the option yesterday in settings, but it was greyed out, somehow after a reboot, the option disappear. Can't turn it on no matter where i try it from.

I am having am SOT of 5h 10m with about 20% power left.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] phibersg:
Anyone else got the Mi 10 Ultra, got Google Location History working?

Mine the option is missing in Settings, and it's disabled or permanently off in Google account / maps.

Permanently off:

Option missing:

Just want to be sure it's not my ROM issue, lazy to reset and wipe cache to try again.

I've seen it talked about before on chinese roms and even Xiaomi devices,. I don't use it myself so unsure of a fix sorry but I did check my phone and it's exactly the same as yours looks
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Seifer1975:
Sorry to hijack this thread. I just bought the mi 10 ultra. I installed playstore and all Google apps. But I realized that playstore is asking me to pay for apps I had previously purchased, even though I used the same account to log in. Anybody encountered this or know the solution?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Honestly start the unlock process and think about moving to xiaomi.eu

I didn't have that problem but a few Google things didn't work on stock. That's a really common issue though, I'd recommend googling it and trying what comes up, it's an extremely common issue with Google play services
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Sathelp:
Works just fine on EU ROM, see screenshot attached from today.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] phibersg:
Yes of course it'll work on EU ROM, my problem is with the stock rom.

I do not want to risk SafetyNet and Widevine L1 by unlocking..
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Sathelp:
Why would you unlock the phone then if you are staying on the stock Chinese ROM? If you're not going to flash, then don't unlock.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Appelsap:
Widevine is level L1 on the .EU rom - so you're fine there. As for SafetyNet: all banking apps, government authorization apps and such work just fine on the unlocked - but NOT rooted - .EU rom.

So I don't see the problem.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] milkytwix:
So, I got this wonderfull piece of hardware, and tried to use it "as is" - don't use any google service, block IPs on firewall behind router to e.g. facebook, etc pp to keep things private. But this is more and more a choire, and with my previous phone it was far more easy thanks to the combination of LOS+magisk+afwall+. I want to use afwall again, hence magisk is a must. I would also go again with lineageOS, but it is not officially supported, so I have to go "unofficial" - which give me some concerns regarding no OTA and no security pachtes - or do I miss something? I would also lose the oxygenOS screenoff gestures - or are they supported by an app? Or another ROM? And what about havoc - it seems to be officially supported?

TLDR: Need root and the screen off gestures of oygenOS on oneplus 7t pro - how?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Macusercom:
Normally, ROMs are official if they support every feature. If they lack something or use proprietary code/drivers etc. it is more difficult to obtain that status though unofficial doesn't necessarily mean it is less secure. Just like with any other build you rely on the maintainer for updates so as long as the maintainer/dev chooses to update the ROM, your security patches will be up to date.

I'm not sure about screen off gestures though. Havoc tends to implement everything that is possible while LineageOS stays clean and barebones. The choice comes down to preference. Though, maybe there is something about screen off gestures in the appropriate threads :)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Hw4ng3r:
Why don't you just install Magisk onto stock OOS?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] -=zipp=-:
Root and RICE
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] elmor0:
Root + RICE + xXx, with arter97 kernel
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Hw4ng3r:
I just got the 7T Pro 2 days ago so I had no idea about RICE. Looks like I'm going to have to downgrade to 10.0.9.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] milkytwix:
It seems it does not support the gestures, my bad.

Don't I lose OTA? And if I do so, will I lose all my current setup&data?

same as above

same as above

Guys, first of all thank you - I guess the good old flashing game will start very soon again. Basically flashing a stock ROM with MAGISK, and after that I pimp with some Modules, right?

Open questions: Do I lose my data and settings? Do I lose future OTAs?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Hw4ng3r:
If you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet, yes you will lose data and settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] guigui42:
Is it really worth the upgrade?

The only plus i see on the Touch pro is the Manilla interface with real 3D.

But i do hope with time, the 3D Drivers get ported on our Kaiser, and therefore we can get the same UI than on the touch Diamond/Pro.

Of course the Touch Pro has a slick design and faster processor, but i dont really care about those .

What do you guys think about it ? Is it worth the 650E ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MarkanthonY:
I would hold out for a while

I am interested in getting it for the tv out. I would hold out until it gets some impartial reviews on here. I don't think T-Mo is gonna get it in the US but if it gets good reviews, I might get it from someone who gets in over their head with a phone where they don't need this many features.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] foobar1977:
I wouldn't hold your breath on the video drivers, sure the guys have already done sterling work so far and I thank them for the effort they have put in but in reality, I think that as more and more people move onto the diamond/touch pro then people will fail to care about the kaiser users any more and they will be forgotten. No doubt the devs will have plenty on their hands fixing HTC's latest cockups with their new handsets as I'm sure there will be many.

Personally I'd like nothing more than for those drivers to be polished off and for all of the kaiser users to stick it to HTC by keeping their kaisers and not filling HTC's pockets with cash by upgrading to the latest handset :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dyetheskin:
interesting point but how many people will do that? not many when lots of people have little patience for things to be fixed,upgraded,moded and ported.1 of the biggest things is touchflo 3d will obviously be the 1 of the best selling features about the touch pro. if any kaiser user would switch then they would prefer touch pro over the diamond in a heartbeat. i would.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] technillion:
How can you say that?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jpope:
Yep, I do this nearly every day at work. (And not necessarily only on lunch:D).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
Tsk Tsk, Please come to my office first thing tomorrow. :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pinetreehater:
Personally, I think many are putting too much into touch flow 3-d. I, personally, think it would suck. Finger prints and sluggish performance are hardly the fate I forsee my expensive handset espousing.

Just my opinion, and I assume others have different ones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] guigui42:
The point of having a touch screen is to be able to use your finger on it, not only stylus (else i would just get a Palm :) ).

And you have to admit, WM6 UI is not finger friendly. Luckily, we have iContacts, S2U etc... You talk about finger prings ? just have to wash your hands often and clean your screen once in a while.

I use my Kaiser 90% of time with my thumb, no stylus (only for non finger friendly apps).

So, in MY case, the touch Diamond / Pro UI is a must !

@technillion

I dont really care about the extra speed (as long as we have the proper drivers ;) the kaiser is powerful enough) or extra space (gotta love the SDHC cards ;) ), or even care less about the FM radio (who actually listen to FM radio nowdays ? its the internet era :p ).

But you are right, the VGA screen does seem pretty nice.

Also as mentioned above, i think the tilted screen will surely be missed.

Finally, i think i will wait for the next generation HTC to come out (September 2009 i suppose ?). Its a long wait, but if i must spend 650E, i prefer it to be for something that adds a really value compared to my Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pinetreehater:
Just noticed your reply and wanted to comment. I agree with "finger friendly." However, using your finger to rub the screen (aka swipe) is different (read more smudgies) than using your finger to make a peck (or your finger nail as I do).

But I guess my point is really moot. After I talk on my phone, the screen is always covered in facial oil (I live in the S. Georgia, so I tend to sweat a lot). So, I guess finger smudges are really of little concern.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RojasTKD:
With my ExpertShields screen protector smudgies are not really a problem. Can't really see them unless I hold the phone just so so the reflection revels them. The ExertShild is also very smooth, you finger and stylus just gliudes across the screen.

I'll be eligable for an up grade in Febuary, and I plan to get one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drownage:
No 2D drivers, but 3D drivers is like saying.... you can play Crisis 3D realtime, but ur computer is not XP capable... :-/... Thats whats stopping me from getting it... I was really into HTC until I bought the AT&T Tilt... I just dont trust HTC with anything even though I feel like HTC Dream might actually be a good phone... I'd now rather just move to Nokia or Sony (because Sony doesnt release products until it matches quality... and if it doesnt, they WILL recall it :)... )...

why not wait for xmas when nvidia releases their chip and companies make phones with 1080p out put that can play for 10hrs straight. that would be so much more apealing then any other device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Loco5150:
I also consider how much I would get from my Kaiser selling it now. Changing phones once a year can actually be very close (not the same, but almost) on the money spend as changing once every 2 yrs.

Do u have some closer info about phones with nvidia chips? I would like to know some info about that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kristoff_sz:
Ill put my opinion here.

Well, let's start. I was playing with TouchPro so its not a "raw" opinion.

Allright:

VGA - yes, this is good thing, nice looking and all, but 2,8" - same as Kaiser, it could be bigger at all, like 3,0", would like to see that in that shiny cover.

More RAM, faster processtor etc. - Kaiser got good specs, you will not notice the bigger RAM at all. I've never get above 85% of RAM on Kaiser and I'm using it really hard ;).

Tilting screen and hard buttons and scroll wheel - yeah, I would never change that ;). I love when i can put my Kaiser on the desk, and work, have Kaiser allways at my sight. Hardware buttons and scroll wheel is the one of thoose which im using very often, so I don't want loose them.

I like the new shiny black look.

I like the look of TF3D, but still I like the stylish stylus using ;). Anyway, come on guys, TF3D with full funcionality will be here soon.

Accelerometer is only a toy. I had N95/N82 and it was only for fun. Nothing special at all.

Its too expensive for now. I would wait for something better. And one more thing:

I just love my Kaiser. Its fantastic device. I love to feel it in my hand. And this feeling still occurs, since ive changed from Hermes. I didn't felt that, when I took TouchPro in hands.

I\m staying with Kaiser. That's just my opionion.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kristoff_sz:
Never experienced the "lag" in incoming call sound :D Therefore i don't look at device, and waiting for call :D

I have big thumbs and using Kaiser without problem. That's true - I'm using the ported keyboard from Touch Pro - but its available, so why don't use it? Its fantastic. I love large menu start and large menus.

I don't use third party apps for calendar or contacts. Since TouchFlo is available - its really easy and nice and I love it.

For small items and more accurate operations Im using stylus - but when Im using stylus - im doing it mainly when im workingon hardware keyboard. I like using stylus at all :D

But i personally think that WM can be finger friendly without a problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ssjgoku24:
Well if you go on over to Nvidia's site and look at the specs of the Tegra 650

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pcboyy:
forgive me for having thought that i was the only man in this world who is comparing Kaiser with HTC TP.. :p

i'm still using Hermes (its Dopod 838 Pro called in my place) .. and thinking of upgrading to a device which is much better.. i was dreaming to get a TP and was happy when TP finally launched in my place 1 week ago (what a 3rd world country i'm staying in) ... but after a deep research and studies till i got severe headache, finally i'm going to buy a Kaiser which i think sufficient to my needs which are:

- GPS enabled

- HSDPA

- more powerful RAM ROM

- QWERTY keyboard

- microSD slot

- lot of hard buttons!

yes, i agree TP has everything over the Kaiser which are:

- HSDPA 7.2mbps (Kaiser has 3.2mbps) i dont need that much max speed to download my XXX :p

- 5 row QWERTY (i have big thumbs so i prefer to use the old Kaiser keyboard, TP keyboard buttons look smaller to me and i dont care that 'Ctrl' feature)

- FM radio (go to hell)

- VGA (i'm not an extreme gamer so i can accept with the Kaiser's)

- 288MB RAM (Kaiser's 128MB RAM is much better than my stupid 64MB Hermes)

- Processor (i surrender and give full credits to this advance tech)

- TV-out (another spec that i admire and surrender to it)

- Accelerometer (i dont need my PDA to be Zero stabilized to the gravity)

I'm a late tech-buyer because latest gadgets cost me a lot and i'm totally cant afford it. well, i'm happy to join the Titan II club next week whilst others have been using it for a year .. or even have sold it off.. LOL .. hail Caiser

last but not least, forgive me poor english!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] seidler2547:
I, I just switched from Blue Angel WM6 to Kaiser WM6.1 and I have to say it's almost everything I needed. I looked into Touch Pro, too, of course, but my arguments against:

- Kaiser: <300E, TP: >600E, that is quite a price difference!

- faster CPU eaten up by touch UI

- more RAM not needed

- 400KB/s or 800KB/s theoretical d/l speed - is it really that relevant?

- TV-out, or at least VGA out can be done with Kaiser too (although not built-in)

The valueable additions for me would be VGA screen and Ctrl hardware key, so I could use PocketPuTTY more efficiently, but using PQzII I could map the PgDn h/w key to Ctrl.

In conclusion, even taking all the improvements into account, it does not justify the double price. The only thing that could justify it (I guess) is that you would have the newest available device (boasting factor) and - for some - the looks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MACkjam:
HEAR HEAR. I agree 110% with you. I also love my TyTN II and would not swop it for anything at the moment. My contract expires in 2010 only, so I am anticipating some awesome advances by then.

My wife is eagerly awaiting the Xperia X1, which we are told should launch in South Africa next month! In the meantime she has been using my old iMate K-Jam (Wizard).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aprmike:
I was talking to an HTC rep yesterday and quizzed him on the Diamond/Pro etc. This may be common knowledge, so at the risk of repeating what you may know, the Diamond/Touch is NOT a replacement for the Kaiser/TyTnII. The TyYnIII will be release around Spring 2009. The Diamond/Touch Pro are designed as an intermediate level between a full PPC and a SmartPhone. The Diamond certainly looks like a nice unit, so lets home the TyTnIII uses some aspects of its form.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] McHale:
The Kaiser is everything I *need* when it compares to the TouchPro. But the new Touch HD looks intriguing. I'll probably pick that up. Awesome specs and the screen is truly large enough for the onscreen keyboard to be almost usable (assuming they go with something closer to PCM Keyboard and not the Raphael keyboard).

Hi everyone.

A friend of mine gave me a old Mobile/Scanning device, which is branded by DHL.

I know, there is a ROM for it on the M3Mobile Site.

But i have no access.

I want to flash the normal Androd Package to bring it back to live.

Is there anyone, who could help ?

I found some of this devices to buy wit android 5.1 LTE installed.

But nowhere the ROM itself or a guide.

Custom ROM would be nice. Like Cyanogen.

Thank you !
