Hi, after using the Mi 10 Ultra now for some weeks I will share some thoughts.

In short: The hardware (everything from charging to the cameras are simply Amazing) - however, I would not encourage anyone to use it as their "real" phone or phone used for work - at least not if things does not get better with firmware updates.

There are simply to many bugs or limitations that makes it impossible for me to be productive with the phone.

A few examples:

* Google assistant keeps be replaced by Xiaomis own assistant so I have to set it back to my preference several times a day. Not a dealbreaker but very annoying.

* Could not choose my own choice of launcher (Nova) but here I'm a bit grumpy because this turned out to be quite easily solvable (in case it does not give the same annoying behaviour as the assistant-thing)

* Does seem impossible to get RELIABLE notifications to the computer from SMS, Whatsapp etc, no matter what I do with both app specific settings (lik turn of battery optimizations, giving different permissions to the app, allouing autostart etc) AND putting general settings for restriction of mobil OFF, the phone keeps stopping data when display is off

* I have missed an enormeus amount of meetings because somehow the phone does not work with teams and intunes in a good way so all of a sudden I can not log on to intunes or onenote and has to spend 20 minutes on deletion of cach and app data, restarting the phon, sync of principples etc and then it works a few hours again. Completely useless for work. Also here I have gone trough and given permissions for almost everything to see if it helps (and it does not help). To be looked out of online-meetings several times a day because messing with the phone simply just does not work.

* Bluetooth is a trial and error thing when connectring different speakers and handsfrees, tok 3 days until I all of a sudden could pair my WF-1000XM3 with the phone for example. This was however a "one off" and now it works so I can live with that.

The things mentiones above that is connected to work is absolutely no problem on any other phones or tablets I have tried it on (Sony, Samsung, Huawei).

So for now I will put my SIM back in my old phone and use the Mi 10 Ultra as private phone and mainly like a good camera and videoeditor.

I realise it might (with the headline I posted) be posted in the wrong part of the forum.

I guess what I really was hoping for is some input to solutions of the problems I mention because I really WANT to be able to use the phone as my phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Appelsap:
Install the .EU rom. It solved most of these issues for me:

+ Mi assistent is not in the rom, so Google's assistant will then stick. Overall, all google apps and services work way better when neatly made part of the eco system prior to setup.

+ notifications work out-of-the-box on this rom just about flawlessly. Had problems getting them immediately and on the lockscreen with the original Chinese rom, they work perfect with the EU rom.

+ Teams works fine here, as does contact sync, calander sync, location history etc.

Had no issues with bluetooth in either rom version. Don't use custom launchers, so can't comment on that.

Love this phone! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
There's a lot of issues there. Some fixable, but overall it you want a solution... Flash the Xiaomi.eu rom..

Basically I got this phone myself realising it would be a project. Spending around 1k, on a foreign device not guaranteed to work in my country. I knew going in I would almost certainly want to change it from stock. I only mention now because it's possible to do something about it. It's silly to live with so many tiny software problems with such a majestic piece of hardware. To make your phone your daily go-to I think this phone requires a bit of extra work. I consider it a small tax for having the best phone there is.

Nice headphones btw I have the same ones. I cannot cope without them working :)
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
One more vote for xiaomi.eu ROM. It is basically the go-to ROM when purchasing a Xiaomi device.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] AerationCheese:
A lot of what OP mentioned is user error combined with the software being a little odd out of the box (but totally fixable). I'm using Lawnchair no problem. Use miui hidden settings to change it.

The notification issue is annoying but all you have to do is open the app settings and mess with the notification settings a little bit. Turn on all the options and set priority to high, you'll never have a problem again.

Google assistant was on my phone and I didn't even install it... In fact I had to go out of the way to tell it to f off.

My bluetooth has worked absolutely fine zero issues. Excellent range and low battery drain.

I love this phone, it can certainly improve in some ways through software updates but the way it is I'm happy with my purchase, even spending $950 for it. Which is the most I've ever spent on a phone by a mile.

Someone's definitely going to reply to me saying "it should just work out of the box". Maybe, but if you want something that "just works" and don't value the extra features buy an iPhone.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] danitaro:
I agree.

I don't have any problems at all.

No ads.

Google assistant works perfect, mi assistant I removed through adb

No bluetooth issues aside from the metà data not showing on my car radio.

Pretty happy here.

The thing that could be better would be some notifications icons in the always on display
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] 70challenger:
Can you point me to a guide to remove miui assistant?

My issues are the right swipe notification I would like to be google feed not Chinese.

Swipe up from bottom, same thing, Chinese
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] tusenkonstnar:
Hi, I have actually put all settings to "high", "allowed" or "off" (when it comes to powersaving), but getting notifications or not having apps closed down is still a lottery (although the changes has made the situation a bit better it has not solved the problem).

Has anyone of you that DO NOT have problems tried to use the phone for work with apps like "intunes" and "teams" (because this is the biggest problem to have to reinstall apps like teams, it feels like it must have been to go to war with a "mouth charger" back in the days. Parts of theese problems I have had with Huawei phones also but there it just took some tweaking to get rid of the problems).
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
This phone is exclusive to the Chinese market and not built with the west in mind at all.

Anyone saying it should just walk out the box, well, unless they're living in China they're being naive and wrong. This is not a device for where we are, it is not supposed to be.

So in that mind I come back to xiaome.eu rom - why would one not take a step to make the phone work better than stock?

If I want to flash the eu rom, can I back up my apps so I don't have to re enter all my log ins ?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] tusenkonstnar:
Thanks, then I have to go with the EU rom, This thing of spending an hour a day missing meetings and having to reinstall apps, reapprove permissions etc to be able to log in just does not fly.

Guess step one for me then is to unlock the phone.

Absolutely. Unlocking it will threaten to wipe your phone so go through with it as if you're gonna do it.

Because it needs to show you the countdown and then it's a week til you can do anything even if you wanted to

Hi. I was wondering how did you guys get the google pay to work? When I try to pay, miui card readee is trying to launch. And the assistant, "hey google" doesn't seem to work for me. I am waiting to unlock the bootloader, but made the phone to my liking 80%. Great device but needs some tweaking.

Do you have google feed working with lawnchair?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] boober78:
Woke up in he morning, launcher went back to the system one, all 5he settings (widgets and folders) from lawnchair are gone. Cannot wait to get the xiaomi.eu firmware, because chinese is really bad.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
I had this with Nova,I think I ended up.. wait for it.. setting every permission for Nova I could find

The EU ROM uses the same permission style but the reigns are off. I'm glad you know you need to move to that ROM!

Trust me, you don't get these problems with the EU ROM. It's Xiaomi security being a bit too zealous.

They don't officially let you use another launcher. Obviously you get around it by setting it in the launcher you want itself.. but yeah the EU ROM doesn't do this.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] boober78:
Since I had Mi3 I was always flashing polish iteration of EU rom. It was always flawless and never had thatany issues. It's atrocious how everything acts out all the time. I am scared to reboot the phone :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] tusenkonstnar:
Also looking forward to get the EU-rom in place.

Standard assistant. Default SMS-app. Default browser etc keeps all of a sudden reverting. Same for my calendervidget and google search bar.

Not a BIG thing once but when it keeps happening it is really annoying.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
I would go so far to say that if you want to use the Mi 10 Ultra as your main phone you need the EU ROM :)
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] boober78:
Oh, definitely. On chinese rom it's a major no go. I feel like I need 5o configure 5he phone every day. Custom launcher is a bummer. For some reason miui is deleting data from the launcher and widget are gone. Every single day. I would risk and say, if EU rom won't do the trick for me, I will sell it and get back to note 20. I was expecting better.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
You seem to be having worse issues than I did with the Chinese rom. But I'm sure the EU ROM will help.

And twrp and root is surely coming (I think you can root already but no way am I patching the Chinese rom to test,I do use my phone).

Hope your unlock period is up soon!

Have you tested Google pay by yourself or your statement is based on the comments/posts from others?

(I'm asking this as I haven't seen any confirmation from someone who actually uses Google Pay on this phone).

I have been using it daily, multiple times a day for close to a month now. **I have just changed to HCE again after the most recent software update as it somehow defaulted back to original settings. Currently on china rom and everything related to google works perfectly for me and I had the whatsapp not showing contact issue initially as well, after fiddling around and permissions allowed it is fine(apparently xiaomi has top tier security and privacy policy as the consumers in China places great importance on ithe) I came from note 10 and note 20ultra and l can tell you I very much prefer mi10 ultra as my main phone for it's reliability and great photos , can't tell you how many times I've been so pleased with this purchase when I top up 5-10mins I'm good to go bringing this phone out. My samsung Note has the tendency to drain battery erratically and I gotta install apps like greenify. My only grip is my favourite launcher(Nova) can't run dual apps properly without asking for a prompt each time, I've since used their stock launcher and was pleasantly surprised by how polished it is lol... please go to their free theme store and be amazed. Xiaomi is the apple of China and my misconception of them being a cheap budget company has completely changed after this phone. No, I'm not a fanboy yet and still waiting for the ultimate pixel phone with great hardware. Nexus one was my first phone when it first came out and since then I've changed more than 20 flagships, speaks alot about how great and value for money this phone is.

I always hope for the same. But 5hen a new flagship comes out and you know the rest of the story ?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] boober78:
Update: Having this phone updated to EU rom for around a week I can see the experience is night and day. No issues whatsoever. Everything is working flawlessly, no surprises after idle times when the home launcher was reverting to system one and the custom (lawnchair) was loosing all the settings. No problem with keyboard being reverted to chinese after the reboot, notifications not working - just no issues whatsoever. If anyuone is on the fence with the decision - do not hesitate to reach out with questions.

The only issue I have is Waze with android auto - stuck at starting position and not moving.

Will installing the EU rom be good if I live in the US? Or is there a US on I should install instead?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Sathelp:
No USA version, it's only EU as it is from the group who run the Xiaomi EU website. It will be fine for you. I heard that Paranoid Android may release a custom ROM too but nothing concrete yet.

I'm in Canada running it, works great and I'm a dirty flasher.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] spence91:
I've recently bought this phone, and like everyone has already said; the hardware is great.

For the time being I've decided to stick with the original ROM, and it's taken me a while to get there but it's set up decently now.

I think things are working as they need to be, except for Waze.

With my previous phone, I could turn off the screen whilst driving and then turn it back on, and Waze would just be there, but with this phone the GPS seems to drop out when the screen is turned off and when the screen is turned back on it's lost my location and it takes a couple of minutes to get back again (by which time I've missed my turning).

Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this? It's very frustrating.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] B4ast1:
Hi,

so yesterday I flashed Android 11 onto my 2XL via the Flash Tool, as I could not wait for the OTA. :p

Everything worked fine, but I did not relock the bootloader. That would not be a big problem for me but I noticed that Google Pay is not working anymore and selling the device (when I get the Pixel 5 :cowboy:) will also not be possible I guess.

So now I am wondering if relocking wipes my data (I guess it does) and how I can relock it without bricking my 2XL, as I heard many bad things about relocking.

Thanks!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Larzzzz82:
I would never lock the bl with anything other than a stock image. I also never lock the bootloader without booting the system up first to make sure that it does indeed boot up.

Yes, locking and unlocking the bl wipes data.

And, if I'm not mistaken, you could have side loaded the ota without unlocking. From the bl screen, type adb sideload in the dos box. Select recovery from the bl screen. When the little Android shows up, I believe it's a quick press of vol up and power, that'll bring up another screen to select the side load option.

Yes, your technically in fastboot when typing the adb command, but it works.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] LakeHMM:
My phone suddenly had a momentary display malfunction (some of the text on the screen just turned into garbled pixels) and then entered into a boot loop. I didn't make any changes or updates to the phone recently. It no longer boots normally - just the Samsung logo and some of the Verizon logo animation, then it reboots and starts again. How do I pull my user data off (photos mainly) before trying a factory reset? The phone is

totally stock

. I haven't unlocked it, rooted it, or installed any custom recovery/ROM/bootloader/whatever. (I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't, haha.) The touchscreen is fully functional. I'm sure this has been covered here before, but I haven't found anything that totally explains how to do this in this particular situation, so I'd really appreciate any help anyone can provide.

The only time I can get the phone to show up under adb devices is when I boot it in recovery mode and select "Apply update from ADB". But it says "sideload" next to it in adb devices, and the push, pull, and shell commands return errors. I've read that this is normal. Wiping the cache partition didn't solve the boot loop problem.

If it helps, this is what the top of the recovery screen displays:

Android Recovery

Verizon/heroqltevzw/heroqltevzw

8.0.0/R16NW/G930VVRSBCTC1

user/release-keys

I'm no Android expert, clearly. I've heard it mentioned that I need to install a custom recovery in order for this to be possible. To be clear, I want to make sure I don't erase the user data before I have a chance to pull it off the phone. These are the questions that I still have after reading information elsewhere (some of which I'm just asking out of an abundance of caution):

Is it correct that I need to install a custom recovery before I can pull this data off the phone?

Do I need to have it unlocked/rooted/anything else in order to be able to install a custom recovery? Or is there anything else I should do before installing it?

Which custom recovery should I install?

Do I need a custom ROM, if that's a different thing?

Do I need a custom...bootloader, if that's also a different thing?

Should I use Odin or Samsung Smart Switch to install the custom recovery?

(Extra credit: Does it sound from my description of how the boot loop started that this phone has hardware problems and should be replaced ASAP?)

Thank you so much for any help you can provide! Any extra information beyond my questions will be very much appreciated, too, of course. You guys never cease to impress.
