The Official Xiaomi Thread

Funny, my phone's hotspot used to work until the first update came through, since then, I've never had success with it. And when MIUI 9 update came out, this did not fix it. Not really tried to fix it, cause I've never really needed this function to worry about it.

The Only call dropping I got was on WhatsApp calls.

Ja, same with mine (hotspot). Call dropping - none.

Why did I have to Google brazzers... Now it's in my permanent search history on the Google cloud... Which they must keep.

*hysterical laughter*

Anyone here bought a Xiaomi from geekbuying and used their EMS courier service? What was your experience and time from click to door? Can you track and who delivers it here in SA?

International version and Global must be the same thing - my Mi Max 2 updated to Miui 9.2 Global Stable out of the box and is working perfectly

After more digging, you are right - this one on that site is called International but the seller states that it is a Global Version. I also see Paypal is accepted. Thinking about buying this one and trying out Aramex Global Shipper/Shopping...

Thanks. I signed up for Aramex Global Shopper last night, so if my next device is not from Gearbest, I will try out Global Shopping

However, the top line showing time, battery, wifi etc now uses a black font colour and I dunno where to change it

Got mine from here ...
https://uae.souq.com/ae-en/xiaomi-m...matte-black-international-version-23265641/i/
online store in Dubai - part of Amazon - au892 = R2,850

also check covers on this site

not sure about paypal or shipping - friend brought mine over to SA - should have same rules as Amazon

Having an issue checking out on souq.com. Used 2 different mastercard cards and both gave an "invalid digital order" error from the Mastercard online merchant site. Unfortunately Souq has discontinued Paypal because Souq was bought by Amazon or something like that. Such a fail as I wanted to order a Huawei P10 for my dad as well.

Neat whizzygig feature - split screen. Cue Chuck Norris and van Damme trying to outdo it.

Is it possible to somehow connect a larger monitor to your Xiaomi, giving you more desktop real estate, and use it like a mini laptop?

I like this idea. I'm guessing that, given nano-technology, this is the way of the future.

chromecast or check if your phone will work with MHL which requires a usb to hdmi dongle.

Chromecast Is a better option. Some smart TV's do it native

 

[The_Librarian]

Wonder if I can convince The Bossly Unit to look at a chromecast thingy....

Got the Oreo update to my MI6 last night. 1.5gigs big.

The notifications area is a bit messed up regarding Gmail.

Glad Im not the only one experiencing this. It is a bit irritating.
