Hello everyone, i'm from italy and, I've got a Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro with

V14.0.7.0.TMNEUXM - POCO F5 Pro EEA

Google has blocked the ability to record calls (which I had on my old Poco F1), which is essential for me. Can any of you tell me what to do to enable this feature? Warranty is not a problem.

I've found those roms

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

and this guide, do you think this will work?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
That's the main problem you have.

Your phone has A/B partition layout hence its recovery partition is part of boot partition. Everything is managed by the boot partition now. Thus you now boot the recovery into the boot partition rather than flashing it to the non-existing recovery partition.

So this is my recommendation: boot into a custom recovery like TWRP and from therein flash a Custom ROM:

fastboot devices
fastboot boot twrp.img

Hello everyone, where can I get the UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-15.0410.1807.75-user firmware recovery.img file? I am now in Lineageos 16 with TWRP 3.3.1, but I would like to return to stock

I tried terminal emulator and it seemed to work at first but after I wiped Dalvik cache it was back on my device...it seems that the emulator only hides it somehow...I actually need to remove all bloatware but nothing seems to work...Please help. Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mindfrost82:
I'm looking into getting the Tilt but I was wondering if the GPS is a-GPS or true standalone GPS. I have a Sprint Touch (Vogue) and I know the Mogul is the same way and its a-GPS and requires an internet connection to get the initial fix.

If I got the Tilt, I'm not sure if I would get the internet on the plan or not since most places I go would have WiFi access anyway.

This might be a deciding factor for me.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
Well, the tilt already has a gps antenna in it. Thus you can install your favorite gps software. The initial fix can be faster with an internet connection, but not required. (Such as a handy tool called QUICKGPS, allows you to downloading the latest satellite data for a faster initial fix. Can be done via wifi, and is valid for about a week) It takes about 20 seconds to 1 minute for me to get a fix.

I too only use wifi and its more than enough!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mindfrost82:
Thanks for the reply! I can easily download the data with WiFi and that should be enough for me.

Can you disable the internet connection so I don't accidently use it? Like a way to force it to use WiFi for internet instead of EDGE/3G?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
Yeah you just have to make sure GPRS is not configured. There is also a few programs around like NODATA that turns it completely off, so you dont have to worry about it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] psuarmy:
The easiest way I have found to stay out of an internet connection is:: Start/settings//connections/connections/manage existing connections: Tap and hold over connection for option to delete internet connection.

anytime something tries to connect it will prompt you to connect first. Also most cooks have connection setup wizard that runs when you first install ROM. You can safely cancel it with no problems. It is only for data connections.

Also you might want to make sure that MMS tests is off as well. I know I have friends who just had to send me pictures and could not figure I paid for it.

Most ROMs if you go into messaging then into sms\mms account to show you your inbox the menu has MMS options with a few check boxes. If you uncheck save sent messages it will prompt you for what messages you want or you can reject all messages. You will not be prompted it will just reject them automatically
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mindfrost82:
Can I still get MMS over WiFi, or will I have to get people to send it to my AT&T email address?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] psuarmy:
I don't believe that you can get MMS through WiFi.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Teej53214:
Actually, the Mogul has a stand alone GPS chip in it as well... We have both a Tilt and Mogul here.,... no data plan on either.. and both GPS's are functioning using TomTom

Hello guys,

I am using samsung a5 2017 with custom rom AOSP android 10, i am able to get media sounds via bluetooth but only phone calls are not working..
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Nammster:
How to get it ?

Any plan on Xiaomi side ?

A Beta ?

thanks for any infos
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] lortwarCECH:
From what i find, it will be in 2th batch, so it is may to june release , first batch will be mi10/Pro/Ultra etc... at the end of april
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] tinfengyee:
Mi 11 pro/ultra have beta verson rom today. stable version at the end of april. you can find the news from xiaomi community app(Chinese language).

小米11 pro/ultra 今天已经有开发版本了，稳定版会在4月底出。你可以留意小米社区app最新消息。
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
That's good, thanks for the info.

I got a bit too curious tried enrolling for the beta program under the standard Android Updater settings, which took me to a page to install the Mi Community app. It then asked me to sign-up for a beta testing group but after giving them my contact details, it said there's already too many users enrolled (something like 500k testers already?). I had to ask a friend who could read Chinese to help translate the UI elements for me :D
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] tinfengyee:
Because the application threshold is too low, resulting in too many people to apply.. (when you have the internal test qualification of other mobile phone models and don't need to own the mobile phone, you can apply for approval without approval.)

There are several solutions.

1. Borrow your friend's Xiaomi account with internal test qualification.

2. Buy an account with internal test qualification on Taobao or other platforms.

3. In Xiaomi community, the "internal test score" reaches 900, but it may be a little difficult for foreigners.

4. You can flash xiaomi.eu ROM or other version ROM.

5.Wait, wait, wait the stable verson ROM.....

----------------

这也是中国小米用户经常吐槽的地方。。。我小米10也没有内测权限，通常我都是 flash 自定义 ROM。

有几个办法可以解决。

1. 借你朋友拥有内测资格的小米账号。

2.在淘宝或其他平台买拥有内测资格的账号。

3.在小米社区“内测分”达到900，但这对外国人来说可能有点困难。

4.你可以flash xiaomi.eu ROM 或者其他版本的ROM.

5.慢慢等慢慢等....稳定版
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] wching02:
Eu rom will have miui 12.5 beta soon. They are rebuilding the rom. Should be release soon!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Thanks for the clarification, it'll be best for me to just wait for the stable CN 12.5 then as I understand it's ahead of schedule and should come by the end of April. I don't want to keep bothering my friend with the translations in the Mi Community app anymore!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] tinfengyee:
As I know,the second screen is just for camera symmetry, and you can place a Huawei logo，Zeiss logo ？hahha~

据我所知，第二个屏幕只是为了相机的对称性，或者你可以放置一个华为 logo，卡尔蔡司 logo？哈哈~

limited rollout for miui 12.5 stable in china begins, expecting full stable release in the end of aprilView attachment 5283901
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
That's great to see. I understand MIUI 12.5 has a lot of backend software optimizations which can lead to even more responsive app loading times and reduced power consumption all-round.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
I got mine. Paid $1 to borrow a test account...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kuba319:
you borrowed an account to unlock a bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
How so? sounds like a good deal. Are your google apps working after 12.5?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
What version of the stock camera is it using please?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
google apps are all working fine. I did need to work around a minor bug to reenable gboard, long story short is that if you freeze sogo keyboard, your default keyboard before upgrade won't be enabled either.

the account is to update to internal test (stable version). i am not in a rush to unlock my bootloader, which will be tomorrow anyway.

There are sellers on taobao, who lend the interal test accounts (there are lots of them) for single usage. 1.2 bucks will get you one upgrade.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
4.3
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
Once you get an account from them, can you just sign in and update via OTA? or do you have to update via Flash tool?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
no, you simply log out of your mi account, log in with the one they lend you, check update, get update, update. log out and reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
Can you send me the link of the vendor you used? I'm searching Taobao now but can't understand any of it and searching xiaomi test account in English brings up nothing.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
the person i am talking to uses wechat. he is not a fan of using it on foreign IPs. it might block the account pernamently. If you can install wechat and share me your contact, i could connect you two. but you need chinese payment method also, not sure how you can get that without Chinese phone number, etc.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
Ahh I see. Yeah no idea how to go about getting a Chinese number
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
i suggest him to look into paypal etc.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
What do you gain by jumping so many hoops in order to get 12.5 2-3 weeks earlier ( it was confirmed that will rollout much sooner to mi 11 ultra ).

You might risk a ban doing this.

My advice would be to wait a bit .

Cheers !
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] YoSoyCarlosG:
Could you test Android Auto? On 12.0 it's just broken :( and I really use it a lot. So wondering if I should hold for 12.5 or sell the Mi 11 Ultra :(
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
i simply pay $1-2 bucks, log in, update, log out. I don't see how "jumping so much hoops" in doing this.

I am not risking a ban doing this, this is not my account.

If you want to wait, just wait. There are people who want to try early and have fun with it. I see no problem what-so-ever.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
i installed everything for android auto just to try it for you. it seems working fine. However, i didn't connect it to any android auto cars, as I only have a tesla, which doesn't run carplay or android auto.

what is the part that it was broken on 12.0?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] YoSoyCarlosG:
Bummer :( but thanks! So the app installs, but once you connect to the car, nothing happens. And if I open the app while connected, the car display / system just won't see the phone. So far, after doing a thousand things, this is the only kind of signal that the phone tries to communicate with the car, but after this, phone just freezes
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
my buddy has a car with android auto, i can try that when i see him and let you know.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] YoSoyCarlosG:
Would very much appreciate that! Thanks a lot!

de nada.

Hi guys, bit of a novice I'm looking to purchase the mi 11 pro which of course is only Chinese version only, would you use mi 11 ultra rom or the mi 11? Once bootloader is unlocked do you lose any functionality?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] boober78:
Hey, can you help a fellow Teslian over here and connect me to the vendor? I would jump.som3 hoops to get it updated 😀
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Zaffy:
You need to use a Mi 11 Pro ROM. Anything but a ROM specific to your phone will end up in either your phone not starting on anything but recovery, or worst, getting it bricked.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jericho246:
Hey mate, why are you selling it? And what's the price? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
If the ROMs are the same for 10 Pro and Ultra, can't you flash an Ultra Global ROM on to a Pro? If they are the same, then you should be able to flash both ways.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
I just got the update to 12.5

Like i was saying... why hurry :)

Cheers !

ALex
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] wilpang:
I was told on this forum that it's recommended to use the ROM for your exact device or risk bricking! So I'm confused some say it's fine others say don't do it.

but does it mean we will have 12.5 later i m mean wayyyyy later lol
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ojwm:
Everything works same as before for me, as far as I can tell.

Google still present. Google Pay and banking apps still working.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
Thanks, that sounds very good ! BTW do you have Gpay with Paypal account working ? This is the thing that is missing for a fully functional device for me....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ojwm:
I'm UK based, so I believe Gpay with PayPal isn't actually an option for us anyway. It doesn't show as an option.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] boober78:
I do use it. I'll send you my number via PM
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Yes my phone glitched out yesterday before the update and today it did the same thing

I saw a system update in the settings panel and when I hit download now it disappeared

Exactly the same thing happened yesterday before the 12.0.13 update so I think we get 12.5 in the next 6 hours!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
Everything works ok so far. I haven't had the chance to pay for anything since I updated but will keep you posted if I encounter any issues !

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Just got 12.5 stable too.

Loving the pace of the updates on the CN ROM so far but also a disappointed at the same time with the lack of camera improvements (or maybe they're just not documented?)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
Regarding the camera, i for one saw a small improvement when taking photos in direct sunlight and getting a bit more details in the dark areas. Before those areas were a bit too dark for my tastes but now they seem a bit lit up and with a bit more details.

Also the zoom stabilization past 10x has improved a lot imo.

Also there is a small improvement on digital processing when taking a zoom picture. I can see that the writings are better recreated now ( tested with maximum zoom on a panel where i couldn't read the text )

Attached a normal and ultrawide shots.

Also please take in consideration that these were shot from the car with the windshield not so clean ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I don't think they have improved camera functionality in 12.5.2 yet

The rear panel still doesn't do much as far as i can tell
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pafc66:
I have china rom and on 12.3 how do I get this update? Says no update available
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
You can directly download and install manually using the update function, download links can be found here (I did so with the OTA package)...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
If I can side load this does it:

1. Require flashing a completely new ROM? Or is it just a side loaded update that doesn't wipe content?

2. Will I get OTA updates afterwards?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
As you trigger the install over the reguar update function it does nothing different to a normal update with download. It does neither wipe content nor inhibit any future update functions :)

I did use the OTA-package - I would assume its the same for the full ROM, but have no own experience on this device
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
If you can flash it through the package updater it should be fine but this didn't work for me because it's still a "stable beta" version

If you want to unlock or anything goes wrong you will lose your data anyway so backup anything important to pc or cloud first
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] YoSoyCarlosG:
Did you need the unlocked bootloader? Or nominees for that? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
No, my device is still bootloader locked (awaiting unlock this weekend although I presently doubt I'll do this unless the reasons for all those fastboot-bootlocks are cleared - 12.5CN is running pretty nicely here in Germany).

In fact you are using the official update functionality with an official update package - so no need for any "tricks" and also no interference with the unlock waiting time....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] chistery:
Updated from 12.0.13 to 12.5 using the OTA package.

Downloaded the OTA version, then selected the file from the updater menu. If the meun option doesn't appear, tap the miui logo 10 times.

Still no CA on VodafoneUK though :cry:
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] YoSoyCarlosG:
Nice! Just did the update and went smooth :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
Thanks guys. Updating as we speak
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Check your zoom camera at about 50-60x

Mine seems better but hard to be sure.....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
All went well. Thanks guys. I basically have no desire to flash .EU right now. China ROM is totally fine.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Lol

Only thing I noticed is an extra ~10gb or so of bloatware junk apps is removed from the EU version

I think when I installed it I only had 45 apps in total and even some of those I will probably remove
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
My zoom at those levels seem a bit more stabilized and less shaky on the viewfinder but the quality is about the same.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] YoSoyCarlosG:
For the ones that wanted to know on the android auto issue, it's still broken on 12.5 beta :(
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] lortwarCECH:
i installed miui 12.5. manually today and shame that rear display not get any new options, like record video, hope they bring something new in next update
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
Can someone tell me if the .EU ROM sends less info back to Xiaomi? In other words more private?

I use NextDNS and when I observe my DNS logs. My device is making an absurd number of connections to Xiaomi URLS.

I'm not complaining, I knew what I was getting into when I bought the device, hence why I'm blocking these at the DNS level. However I am just curious if the .EU ROM addresses this in anyway and makes less calls back to Xiaomi in general?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I was expecting some increased functionality of that rear screen too.... I will be very disappointed if we don't ever get it...

20mp punch hole camera on the front isn't great anymore, it's no improvement on those found on much cheaper phones from previous generations.....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
If you debloat everything from Xiaomi then much less apps will be sending data back to mothership

Nearly Every mi app opens on a T+C screen you have to accept to use it for the first time ,

if you don't accept giving it full access to everything you cannot use it.... In which case I find an alternative and remove it
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
Yeah i've done a fair amount of debloating via ADB. I had the Global Mi 11 previously and sent a small amount of info back to Xiaomi. However the China ROM is just pumping it back.

Which again, I totally expected and is mitigated. I was just wondering if the .EU ROM will be more similar to the Global ROM in terms of info sent back.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Battery life seems much better, but it's a lot lighter with a couple of hundred less apps....

I guess there is a lot less thing on in the background but still wouldn't feel too great putting mission critical details on any smartphone
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
Do you happen to have a list of Xiaomi apps that you could safely debloat without loosing essential functionality?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] veimus:
Today I got notification about new update, don't know if I update now (6 days left to unlock bootloader) do I will have to repeat unlock process from scratch after installing OTA update ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I unlocked my bootloader on 12.0.3 and in the 168 hrs I accepted a couple of updates to 12.0.10 and 12.0.13

You can update without resetting your 168 hours , just stay signed in to your mi account on phone and computer until the 168 hr countdown has elapsed

I did toggle OEM unlock or USB debugging debugging trying to force the ota update and it never affected my unlock timer
