No AOD, that was a false alarm apparently. Latest 9.9.26 has face unlock added, however, if that is interesting - I don't trust it security wise.

How you get to the widgets depends on your device, on whether you are using full screen gestures or buttons. When you get there it looks like this:

Installed EU 9.9.26, running fine, no problems so far. Baseband, kernel, and security patch versions unchanged since EU 9.8 29. Inkypen on XDA made yet another new TWRP version. I have not tried it, still using the last raupe-blunden TWRP. Perhaps you need it if you want to run a Android 9...

That is a widget, you can get it in the widgets and put it where you like.

Same baseband, kernel and security patch versions as 9.8.29. The only real changes seems to be different colors/ icons in the settings, and the fun new sounds. There were some previously hidden away in the clock, only for the timer. This one feels "lighter" somehow, perhaps they have improved...

EU 9.9.26 downloaded, not yet installed. Still Android 8.0 by the file name. Checked modem file, unchanged since 9.8.29. So should be no surprises as to the radio.

VoLTE is not that simple to implement, operators do not want to just "turn it on" for untested devices, because then they have to take care of all the support hassle when it doesn't work correctly. I have a new Asus Z6, which has neither VoLTE nor VoWifi "turned on". Asus will at present not...

Mi Note 2 is on android 8.0.

I still have my Mix1 and Note 2 also which it seems are to receive MIUI 11. They both are working fine.

According to a post on XDA, Mi Note 2 will get MIUI 11. It is included in the 3rd batch (lowest priority). Will be interesting to see what the security patch level and Android version will be. https://www.xda-developers.com/miui-11-animated-aod-improved-visuals-beta-rollout-september-27/

Well, wait a year or so and see. I want one, but as a curio - a collectors item. And the Mi 9 Pro 5G looks generally very good, but still has a hole in the screen, so I won't be getting that one. Happy with my Asus Z6 Edition 30. Don't even have to mess with TWRP and flashing ROMs, good as is.

Your problem with only the WiFi at work you should ask your IT support at work about. That is not a ban at Xiaomi.eu, it is your employer who does not want you wasting time here I suppose.

It will be a "Mix alpha" - "subversive concept phone" on 24/9 (from weibo) Besides Mi 9 Pro 5G and MIUI 11. This might be interesting.

Yes, Xiaomi.eu has never had incremental updates, only the full ROMs. You can update the weekly once a month, for example.

Yes, they are like time bombs, if the new owner does not understand what he has bought.

Xiaomi does not like you flashing a Global ROM on a China device. If you do that and relock the bootloader, Xiaomi will usually brick your device.

Camera works fine on my Note 2, EU 9.8.29, also G-cam, with the usual G-cam problems of course. Bluetooth also works normally, just checked with my Kilburn speaker. Do not use faceunlock.

If you haven't installed an adblocker, or an adblocking hosts file, or played around with your DNS, you might try asking your operator if they have been blocking something. I have heard some stories that even in "western Europe" some operators have been doing things like that. Nothing I can...

You can use the firewall app Netguard in a similar way. Note I don't use this function currently myself, so don't know how well it functions. But there is an ongoing discussion on the support thread about a peculiar case, if this is important to you there is some interesting information...

I just received my new Asus Zenfone 6 today. Waiting on Xiaomi is over. But I'll keep the Mix1 as a collectors item, and continue using the Note 2 as long as it holds together.
