If I wanted a Chinese rom Note 10 Pro, where is the best site to import from? I want to stick with Miui dialler and the full auto call recording which I enjoy on my Mi 9T and which is invaluable for my business dealings. Not interested in the Google Dialler's watered down manual recording facility on Global Rom Miui

It is more or less stock Android, basically as you said - no fluff.

One aspect that I like is that if you long-press the power button, you get a menu to control all your Google Home devices:

You can also do this with the stock Note 10 pro firmware. There is a Smart Home option under notifications that I’ve linked to Home Assistant.

It wasn't an option with my Redmi Note 8 stock firmware, but this is good to know. Sadly, Xiaomi devices really fall behind with software updates after about a year after they are released.

Perhaps on the lower spec phones. I've still gotten updates on 3-5 year old higher spec models like the flagships...Mi 8, Mi 9.

Anyone knows how to get my bricked device to a centre? Looks like an overnight update may have messed me up. Tried flashing it myself but didn't work. Takealot won't accept it for repairs because it's out of warranty.

On a different note, which music services are you able to link to your speakers? I want to get some but the only thing I see on Google Assistant is YouTube music and I'm concerned about it being the same with the speakers.

In your car or a taxi? Or maybe even a courier?

I currently have Youtube Music and Spotify, but it can stream from internet radio stations too, but mostly I just cast from my phone to the speaker as that's where most of my music is stored.

I use an Android app called Hi-Fi Cast which seems to work quite well.

Assume the bootloader is locked? If so you would need to apply to unlock it before you can flash it, although not sure if you can unlock it while bricked, I imagine you should be able to

LOL, bad wording. I should have asked where I need to send it. I can't find anything online or I'm just bad at search. Xiaomi (or the distributor) wanted me to send it to them via Takealot but since it's out of warranty, Takealot isn't accepting it.

My phone was bricked as well Tried Xiaomi local and international I searched XDA for a solution That helped Also try taking out the sim card and using another one Then back to the original one The one that is linked to your user account

You should be able to sort it yourself, if your device was registered to your Xiaomi account. I have done this when I bricked my device and fixed it. You need to unlock it https://en.miui.com/unlock/ then flash the firmware on again using the flash tool https://www.gizmochina.com/2020/02/07/download-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool/ just make sure to get the right version of the firmware for your device

Do you mind sending me a link to the solution that helped.

I only had a Google account linked to it unfortunately. Lesson learnt for next time I guess.

Thank you. That helps.

So dropped and borked my Samsung Note 8 this morning in the gym. Was planning to get it anyways, but just bought Pro 10 from MIA Africa.

Goodbye S Pen
Hello call recording and IR Blaster.

So from paying to getting delivered was less than 24 hours from MIA Africa. Impressions so far excellent. Fast and responsive.

Any tips what to install, uninstall?

Go into each of the stock Xiaomi apps and turn off the ads under Settings.

The launcher is also love/hate. I myself love the Poco launcher instead of the default MIUI one. Might be worth a look if you don't like the iOS-style launcher.
