[Xiaomi Mi 11] Olmaik:
Well i have this phone over year now and i have kinda mix feelings. I had Mi 9 and Mi 10 before this and i have feeling Mi 9 was the best of the bunch. Mi 11 have great performance, nice desing, excelent display, sometimes great camera but its average most of the time. Fingerprint scanner after year work like for third try at best, miui is sometimes so buggy. Dont get me wrong, i love Xiaomi i had so many their phones and i own so many their smart things at my home, but Mi 11 will be my last phone from Xioami.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] 4r44444:
It gets with every update better and better. Over a year now and no problems at all. But I use Xiaomi.eu weekly rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] a.ryazanov:
Migrated over from Mi 6 "Ship of Theseus" Edition (had half a dozen broken $5-ish Mi 6's contribute to a working one). Got my Mi 11 second hand (Chinese 12/256 Pro version) in "as good as new" condition.

Felt different from what I had. Speakers are louder for sure. Camera is miles ahead of what I possessed. Blacks are... well, black. Feels similar after about half a year of use.

Still irked by the software side of things due to compatibility and purism concerns. Was bummed to find out that most custom ROMs (aside from GSIs, which are a stability nightmare for this device) survive a month or two of updates. Nowadays rocking a rooted A11 LOS ROM; feels miles ahead of MIUI in UX (gestures actually work!).

Mixed feelings galore, but I'm stuck with it for another 3-4 years... oh my...
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Lewis2022:
well, Mi 11 i think it is the best design so far, and I regret that i didnt get the 256gm one, 128GB isn't enough for me,
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dromaczek:
I love this phone, xiaomii eu beta
[Xiaomi Mi 11] kmzway000:
still better than Xiaomi 12 obviously .
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dezborders:
The Mi11 was the BEST value vs performance vs functionality smartphone device GLOBALLY in 2021.

Even in 2022 its still VERY good specs and is available for silly low prices (~£300 2nd hand for UK 128GB Model)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dezborders:
All the big brands latest releases are minor upgrades on last year (or maybe minor downgrades!)

Apple 12 pro max -> 13 Pro Max.

Samsung S21u -> S22U

Xiaomi Mi11 -> Mi12

... all awesome devices but definitely NOT worth paying to upgrade from previous model to latest one.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] josenitro:
Love my mi11. But I think I would love it more if the global ROM was updated more often. 1 year has gone a no a12 in sight.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pikaone41:
my first, the last as said Barry White.

the Chinese have the updates much earlier unlike the rest of the world. really bad for a brand that wants to be global
[Xiaomi Mi 11] M.Walaa:
I quite like it tbh. I've had it since last August and it has been running really well. Performance is great and I have not experienced any hiccups, cameras are really good for someone like me but again I hardly take any pictures, design is really nice and looks very premium, the screen is top notch, color accuracy is really good too.

My only gripe with it is that battery should have been somewhat better, it hasn't let me down yet but I have gotten really close to killing it a few times with no charger around, charging speed is spectacular though.

I can't complain as I got a free 55W wired charger, 80W wireless charger +120 W wired charger for free with it which made it one hell of a deal for me. I hope MIUI 13 improves battery life like they say it will. Any news about the global release btw? Q3 is vague tbh. Has anybody gotten it yet?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] marko94:
Anyone knows for how long will Xiaomi support Xiaomi mi 11 in software updates ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Antyhaker:
Noone knows :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] seemebreakthis:
Bought mine last August, and as of yesterday it is in a Xiaomi service center waiting for the fried motherboard to be replaced.

I backed up my phone back in January, still this would mean one month worth of data gone. Better than having to set it up again from scratch I guess.

Since it has gone kaput I google about snapdragon 888 issues and sure enough Xiaomi 11 is high on the list of units going bad prematurely. Fingers crossed the replacement motherboard will last longer.

Edit - otherwise it is a great phone TBH
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dromaczek:
Great phone, my motherboard kaputt, died:)

Waiting for replace ins service. But phone great, phono quality, game performance (i played only civ 6)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Hamza5682:
Same man. My wifi stopped working a few weeks ago but since then I have switched to the iphone 13 pro max. I contacted support today and I am going to be sending the phone back for repairs. Even though I have switched to the iphone, I still miss the Mi 11. The curved screen, the beautiful display, the light body (the iphone 13 pro max is the heaviest phone currently out right now, I dont like the weight) oh and the ability to take moon pictures. The phone has it flaws, for me the biggest was battery optimisation but I do genuinely miss it. Hopefully mine is quickly repaired so I can start using it as a secondary phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] seemebreakthis:
My phone is back with me now, with a new motherboard.. I wonder if they changed any h/w design internally, if not I am not sure how long it will be before this new motherboard goes kaput also !
[Xiaomi Mi 11] opev3:
I think that phone i s cool. But idk , no mods , roms, and i cant find normal gcam... )) this is no good.... But over all this phone is one of the coolest phones...
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Plathoon:
Just search a little more...

You have some rom like Xiaomi.eu , Derpfest, ArrowOS, LineageOS, ...
[Xiaomi Mi 11] SweetPotater:
Can i have the aftersales support even if i have no receipt? But i have the box and warranty card. Asking for a friend.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Antyhaker:
Sorry, this sounds like theft. And this "question for a friend".

Just ask in the shop where you bought it - isn't it obvious?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] SweetPotater:
i bought it as a second hand phone mildly below msrp and dood thats a serious accusation lmao, warranty card does let me have after sales support tho thanks for your concern :DD
[Xiaomi Mi 11] captain2k20:
The updates are long to come out for a model that is only 1 year old these awful and extremely long
[Xiaomi Mi 11] f1madman:
TBH I'm not completely happy with this phone.

Previous phone was a Samsung S8+ which was excellent but started slowing down using newer apps and getting noticable screen burn.

Although the Mi11 is great at playing games and has a bigger and better screen, the software and usability is a bit hit and miss. Overall makes the experience less than premium even though the hardware is.

Negative:

Themes not working (server error aparantly) so cant customise it through its own Themes store

Only one finger print allowed

Split screen sometimes doesn't allow you to adjust the split - other small niggles/glitches like this on other Mi specific apps, not end of the world just annoying

Wifi gets weak/unusable sometimes, have to reset phone to fix... for now

Camera doesn't pick up QR codes right away

Weird deflaut apps - e.g. a QR code will lead me to a webpage but Mi will use a random Mi app and complain it can't be opened unless I manually select a browser for it

Again weird default Mi app that can't open certain file types like certain pdfs, would complain it cant open so I have to then select alternative.

Rear surface tap shortcuts/gesturess dont work well, bumps and things especially when driving set off these shortcut/gestures

Positives:

Great screen

Great battery life

Excellent charge time - seriosuly can plug it in for 5-10mins at a time when I'm near the charger and never worry about it

Macro camera/lens - its cool on occasion but I think I'd prefer a zoom lense over this.

Some good shortcuts/gestures for camera and torch using power/volume buttons.

Unfortunately volume button shortcuts dont work when screen is unlocked but power button shortcuts do :/

Games run well, and some neat features in game, which I haven't used. but things like being able to use messenger apps like whats app without pausing was cool
[Xiaomi Mi 11] M.Walaa:
Are you sure you're talking about Mi 11? In my personal experience, themes work just fine, you can register more than one fingerprint, split screen is fine, wifi signal is alright, QR codes get picked up instantly. If anything the downside of this phone is that the battery life isn't the greatest. o.O
[Xiaomi Mi 11] f1madman:
Thanks for your reply. I was hoping to be wrong about something, and you're right I can add additional fingerprints thank goodness. Don't know why I couldn't find the option before.

Yes I'm using the Mi11. The themes from the theme store usually have the following message when I try to apply them:

Battery is one of the best things about this phone haha. But maybe I don't have range anxiety since it charges so quickly.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] koloure2211:
This is the longest I have had a mobile!

Camera is very good, speakers are fantastic, the screen is equally as good. It's dual SIM,(private and work) in same phone and it has call recording, (xiaomi.eu ROM) no problems with contacting people.

I am more than happy
[Xiaomi Mi 11] C7TJFVB7-CAZ:
:coffee::alien:for me it was THAT phone, especially i always liked curved edges (GIMME ALL THA CURVEZ ^.^) love the Mate 30 Pro the most but wanted to have it at the top and bottom as well as storong curved as the M30P but anything that slightly ressembled this was the Mi11 :giggle:

came from a battery broken Galaxy S10 :cautious: wich ive had no issues with performance with it but after the nice 120hz on the Mi 10T Lite 5G but too buggy for me and horrible TN like display but HEEEEY 120hz, go away from me :P

and no updates to fix the constant closing apps in the back also drove me craze ;)

so ive got the Mi11 finally (12/256) and i was wowed :sneaky:

it was the best ever, agreed on the MIUI 12.5. somethn where overheating and huge battery drain was a thing but i only had that durring first setup BUT :whistle:

then everythign was like its made for me, speed, battery, everything, customization, braggin with the super saturn^^ and also loved unlockin tha phone more often then needed cuz i loved it so frickin much 😌 and of course with closer to MIUI13 but still 12 it was at its peak, then goin down and down and the phone basicly became unusable for me (well the phone did but not that shady software that even has troubles now at recognising your touches and smaller places on MIUI 14 ( 4 touches is horrible to get into somewhere)

inputlatency was bad and you constantly mistouch somethign trust me 🙃

so ive had tonz of custom roms cuzt even my most basic need: 6hours of 480p youtube music cuz of my mobile data with BT headphones🤙 cant get me a full day of use wich is also **** 😛

and in the summer reaching 50c cuz my other phone (Galaxy Note10+) obvoiusly (not that it realy made sense but) SOUNDED better then my Mi11 💪👀🖕 was not playing any youtube vid anymore cuz the Mi11 did turned the Hotspot off cuz like i said (50 degrees C) coubld barely even hold it in my hands 🦵🗣️ letit cool of and yeah, cicle continues, im not too mutch of a power user but wanted to get a Flaggy CPU for liek the next 5 years and also wanna try some PS2 emulating and stuff with a PS4 controller connected to it for thoes wsweet THUG2 times, but none of it ever happed cuz of tall these issues and MIUI runs too mutch background tasks and HyperOS is the same crap, But worse >D

NIIICEEE!!! ;) so i went custom roms now, currently on crDroid cuz thats the beast deal for me (perfor,battery,heat) but cam kinda suckz even tho i was quiet in love with it so yeha, it was a nightmare tbh 🦞

still stickin with it but gotta tell ya, when im financially fine enouth ill get annother phone and give this to my 65yr old dad cuz he loves the 120hz even and the responsibility, probly gonna be his last phone ever with his usage and get myself some kinda Foldy, ohh yeah baby let me fold u^^, ah okay im terrable at jokes but yeah 😌 thats how its been might have to pass on that RTX 3090 and get a phone first cuz my 3070 is workin better then thisway more needed phone, ufff

have a dopey one dudes 😎🤝🥱✌️
[Xiaomi Mi 11] C7TJFVB7-CAZ:
well 🙂now im back on MIUI, ehm o_O i think🧐

but not really 😜HyperOS just is a MIUI with way less buggys then MIUI 14 ;) and a bit of a fazelift😏 back to that, newest XDA released DEV version, run surprisingly good so far, more like early MIUI13, not like 12 tho, to THAT level we will probly NEVER come again, like nvidias awesome mistake with the GTX 1080TI :giggle: still got one BTW. if u are not, get one, iven if u got some like an RX 6800XT, get one for your second PC😄 standby is reaaaly good, was sleepin with like 65 ish % on the battery left and woke up 6 hours (bout that 🤤) and had 57%, thats a new HIGH for miui, not that im also smokin, Hyper OS seems like that lil light we need at the end of the tunnel 🤗
[Xiaomi Mi 11] uscool:
having had Mi 11 since release , bought CN version cheaper and flashed xiaomi.eu rom felt I got really good value for spec :) , its still running very fast longest I've had phone , although google recently try to stop google pay and some bank apps not working but xiaomi.eu support been great they release fixes quickly and over OTA

anyway my battery life isnt as good which is expected with age I mostly charge it at 22w to try to prelong battery lifetime ,and I do use it a lot daily use I get around 4hrs SOT thats with 60hz. also really dont like curved screens I bought UV glass protector but over time they slowly start lifting off but are safe to come off without scratching and the cheap ones the glue is too strong so can end up scratching screen when need to take off , my phone still looks brandnew

I feel like once it hits 50% battery it drains fast, so would like to try new battery

but where from I know eBay and Aliexpress ones may not be good quality also seen Ifixit sell higher price but should be good quality ?

I might be tempted with Oneplus 12 or RealMe GT5 Pro
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dvijetrecine:
search fro dragontt store (or ttdragon store, not sure) on aliexpress. they have og battery for mi 11
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dromaczek:
Great phone. I have since released. I don't need to change it. Two times in device, no costs. One time motherboard, second photo focus. Great phone
[Xiaomi Mi 11] C7TJFVB7-CAZ:
i did two vids about this thats a bit more specifi and yeah less to read :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] uscool:
So after 2 years 6 months the battery life wasnt the best would need charging around 7pm so I replaced the battery bought it from ifixit its given the phone a new lease of life can now easily get through the whole day without charging can make it next morning with 20-30% left , 120hz, FHD, Always on screen active

made me decide to skip upgrading for another year, was gonna buy the Oneplus 12 but will skip and see what releases next year , never owned phone this long before 2 years 6 months and Mi 11 still runs great :) , hoping Mi 11 gets Android 14 hyper os mine is CN version which I flashed Xaomi.eu rom , pre fixes applied for bank apps, google pay etc
[Xiaomi Mi 11] urez2beat:
Love my Mi 11, battery life could be better if anyone has a script to flash for optimal battery life that would be nice Just had a new battery put in mine and It still feels like the battery drains extremely fast but all in all I'm satisfied
[Xiaomi Mi 11] uscool:
if only this had adaptive sync , when viewing twitch app it stays stuck at 120hz and I know its killing battery, with battery replaced I can just about make it when going to bed if I use it heavy which is just about enough I can live with

Was close to buying the Oneplus 12 would love its battery life being 1hz 5400mah battery but also wanna try to get away from curved screens now, will see what next year releases bring , its really only the battery life and I know the recent releases would be massive jump now they drop to 1hz and SD888 wasnt the most efficent chip
[Xiaomi Mi 11] KamiKaonashi:
I switched to oplus 12, and battery life is insane, i dont use it that much, but im on my 3rd day with mobile data, and i have 55% left as of writing with 4 hours SoT. Mi 11 can only dream of that
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dromaczek:
Great phone, i use sinc release, and my wife too.. Replace battery and main camera in my phone, wife works like a charm an my too...

GREAT PHONE, donnt want replace to other phone, i use it till it will broken
[Xiaomi Mi 11] uscool:
Yeah I've seen the reviews and battery life tests will be big difference , stands out that you can buy the CN version cheaper and flashed oxygen , but having just replaced battery and now make it to bed time just gonna wait see what oneplus 13 and next new phones bring hoping to get bit more bigger upgrade

I used to change phone every year but now prefer to skip few so get nice upgrade thats very noticable
[Xiaomi Mi 11] mobi74:
Also for me this is a good phone, but after more than 2 years and 2 more battery I can't do more of 4 hours of SOT, when it was new i can remember this phone last long up to 6 hours

Now also my main camera is died and can't focus object far away ( typical problem for this phone)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] uscool:
before replacing battery phone used to last around total 9hrs with 4hrs SOT so around 7-8pm, now with battery replaced I get to around 12am-1am with 5hrs-30min SOT , 120hz FHD, also think would improve if I did factory reset seems overdue but cant be bothered

after seeing battery life tests of recent phones its massive difference such as Oneplus 12 , I'll upgrade next year :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] b0nebreaker:
My Mi 11 suddenly died 2 days ago after almost 3 years, I didn't have any problems before that. Now I am thinking of buying a new Xiaomi 12 for 300 euros in my country. Seems a decent price and it's more compact. Other compacts are much more expensive.

Hi, has anyone been able to download the latest Hisense A5 L1657.6.12.01.00 root as available in this Chinese forum? Would love to give it a go, but cannot find another source. (@joygram?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfred alexander:
this root kit is available here but the full firmware of version L1657.6.12.01.00 is still inaccessible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
Thanks for the download link! I rooted my 6.12.01.00 fine with it. The procedure I followed is the following:

- Install 6.09 from sd card

- OTA upgrade to 6.10, 6.11 and finally 6.12

- Then after too much trouble fighting windows, simply installed adb and qdl on my linux machine

- adb reboot edl

- sudo ./qdl --debug FireHose_HiSenseA5.mbn RawProgram_HiSenseA5.xml Patch_HiSenseA5.xml

- adb install MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk

- update MagiskManager to v22

- et voila running the latest HiSense A5 firmware with root :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zizicici:
Thanks for sharing!

I'm now on a rooted 6.10, do I need to roll back to 6.09 first and then follow your steps?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
Yes, I think you should start with an unmodified firmware, upgrade three times (..) and then apply the rootkit. 6.11 is a quite substantial update compared to the others in terms of size, about 500MB. Good luck.

Works following the steps above.

I installed Joygram's version of Gapps again, but was wondering if anyone has tried installing a more complete version of Gapps in magisk?

I was reading that you can potentially install openGapps stock in Magisk? Just curious if it helps with anything or just causes a bootloop or too much of a mess with the Vision system.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tioxbew:
I did it.

I launch magisk, click on "install", upgrade to 22.1, after i launch the updtated app, magisk is not installed (just SAR : Yes), my phone is not rooted.

Did I miss a step? What should I do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
Dunno, has been a while since I worked on it. SAR is fine for my purpose as I can grant apps superuser rights.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
It looks normal as it reads in the image and runs the patch. You didn't accidentally install Magisk via the install button?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tioxbew:
That is to say?

After flash, I install the apk, and after i launch the app (the additionnal requirements are not proposed) magisk manger said "Magisk is not installed"

how do you proceed after the patch?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
It's a hassle to get right and have tried many things, so my memory doesn't serve me well here. My notes have this after the adb install of MM:

- update MagiskManager to install some .zip

- update Magisk to 22.x, not 24.

- DON'T install Magisk!! via de Install button.. leave it alone.

What 'some .zip' means I don't recall.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tioxbew:
Thanks but if Magisk is not install, the phone is not root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tioxbew:
Success root using QSPT/QFIL with Windows !

After flash the root kit, I install magisk manger 7.5.1 apk, update to v22.1, install additional requirements, reboot, install gapps module, all work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aufek:
Woops installed 24... does this cause a boot loop is that why it should be avoided?

Now I don't know what to do haha.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
Can not remember if it got into a boot loop or something else. I tried so many things to get it working that I've lost the details what didn't work with 24. I had to start over quite a few times to get it right.

Hi,

Which are the steps to root/install gapps/install a native language other than english, for Hisense A5 on 6.12.01.00?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
I don't have Gapps, only installed microG.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lillo9546:
How did you installed MicroG?

Would microG let me use those Gapps?

- Dialer

- Contacts

- Maps

- Digital WellBeing

- Calendar

- Drive

- Photo

- Gmail

- Play Store

- Google Assistant

- (syncing)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
There's a step by step guide here that outlines how to get the latest firmware on the A5. I then simply installed microG through F-droid and use the Aurora play store to install apps. I mainly use open source apps; Signal, EinkBro, NextCloud. But also a Credit Card app for example and all seems to work (so far).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lillo9546:
Cool!!

Regarding the steps, why do we need to downgrade from 6.12 to 6.09? Cannot we root directly from 6.12?

also

after root, could we OTA in case of future Vision updates?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
Never ever do Hisense OTA updates, it destroys the root. For newer Vision updates you will have to wait for a new root kit. Further, I just described what worked for me after a lot of prodding to get it working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lillo9546:
Ok cool!

I still can't understand why do we need to downgrade to 6.09, then update to 6.12, then root?

Why cant we root directly from 6.12?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
Perhaps you can, but I didn't have a full 6.12 firmware image, so worked my way up from 6.09.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lillo9546:
Scenario 1:

- Downgrade to 6.09

- OTA Update to 6.10

- OTA Update to 6.11

- OTA Update to 6.12

- Root

Scenario 2)

- You have yet installed 6.12 (stock)

- Root

What's the difference between the two methods?

If you go with Scenario1, where could you find the 6.09, vanilla firmware?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artelse:
When you want to start from 6.09, look around this forum for a download option. 6.12 is where you apply the root kit, I don't think it makes a difference where to start as long as you have 6.12 with a matching root kit.
