    Battery Drain mi 11 Pro

    Has your battery usage improved over time? I'm struggling to understand - I have screen set to 120hz, full res and I use a coloured background/desktop, no dark mode, I exclude 8 apps from MIUI battery saver and use the AOD (set to sleep after 5 mins of inactivity), all radios switched on, with...

    Is MI 11 PRO encrypted on Xiaomi EU?

    Works absolutely fine. Device encryption is one of the policies I set for personal device compliance (see below). Can link the biometric fingerprint to the password/PIN prompt too (assuming your company have configured thier Intune/MEM policies to allow biometrics). I'm currently running a...

    MIUI 13 22.1.19/22

    I couldn't get Wireless AA working with any of the MIUI 13 ROMs - I ended up going back to MIUI 12, where everything works and the battery life seems much better (caveat - I've not used MIUI13 since the 13th Jan Weekly). I may try again in a few weeks/months, when these issues are def resolved...

    Planning to buy a Mi11 Pro (Chinese) asking for feeback

    I don't fully agree with Azriel. The first thing I'll say is, if you're flashing a Xiaomi.EU ROM, stick to the Android 11 roms. The MIUI 13 Android 12 ROMS introduce too many bugs, shorten the battery life etc and in my opinion add nothing of much use. Battery life - really great. Camera - I...

    Problems with MI8 radio/modem. Should i flash a new radio?

    I don't know what to suggest. I just had the same problem start with one of my MI 8. Two identical phones, on identical firmware - one having connectivity issues/dropouts (exactly as you described), one perfectly fine.

    Best new Rom mi8?

    Honestly, I think it has to be Pixel Experience (CAF version). Smoothest and best battery life by some margin (in my opinion).

    Problem with low bluetooth volume

    I found the same - I had to install Magisk and Viper4Andrion to resolve the problem.

    Ahh, I see! I didn't realise there was a face detection element to it. I will stop attempting bokeh with inanimate objects using *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum*. Thanks for letting me know. cheers!

    I asked the same question, but didn't get a reply. As you say, if that worked, I would use *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum* exclusively.

    My MI 8 will arrive tomorrow. Couple of questions

    Try SMS Backup+, back it up to your Google account - that makes it easier to restore it to your new phone too. I use that regularly and it works well.

    MGC_6.1.013_MI8_FINAL_V1b - Is portrait mode working ok for everyone else? On mine, it is taking a burst shot, but no processing/background blurring seems to happen. Have I done something wrong? I'm running 8.11.8 on a standard CN version MI 8.

    I'd like to give this one a whirl. Please could you check the link, it times-out (might just be a mega.nz issue). Thanks for your work on this!

    Chinese Mi8 and Google Pay contactless?

    All the phones come with a locked bootloader, unless the reseller has unlocked it and flashed a different ROM before shipping it to you. I have two CN units, I had to wait to unlock the bootloader. The only difference is that, if your phone came with a China ROM you can't flash an official...

    Mi8 Camera Gate! (bad quality in auto mode)

    ROM. For certain. The 8.1 based China ROM camera was much better than the current 9.0 based EU weekly.
