Hi,
Anyone have the face unlock option on the Mi9.
According to Chris from TechTablets.com it should be there, his video review also shows it..
My Mi9 does not have setting, see attached screenshot.
Any help is welcome!
Set your region to Hongkong and you will find face unlock.

You need to set the Region to something like India and than Face Unlock Option should become available. And some other Apps. And maybe more Ads.
It works also in region Italy,without ads.

Seem it only works in regions where Mi9 is officially launched.
In EU, Spain, France and Italy are the ones, not in the Netherlands where I live. So need to change it for now
No it's not that.... It's because of security reasons i guess.
What's the problem to set it on Italy? Language will be kept.

ok, but thats a big disrespect to people who buy the phone. Its a GLOBAL version so support and options should be global.
Its sold official in the Netherlands, they have an official partner here so thats hilarious
Try to reboot, it was not here for me at first but it appeared

Where did you boght it ?
Beslsiple, Mobiel have them on pre-order. Not available yet. Amd only the 128gb variant.
I am also living in Netherlands and i can agree with you. I just bought the 64gb from Amazon.es and i can co firm the face unlock is not available if you set Netherlands ans reagion. An also Theme store is not available.
I set my region to Switzerland no face unlock avalibility but at least i have Theme Store now.
You can set it to Spain or Italy and have all the futures. For now....is ok like that.

Its probably cheaper for you to buy one from HK. You can upgrade the rom anyway.
Look on ebay, or just google!

I think most important is if their bands are compatible with most European countries...
Do they usually release and international version of their flagships or not really?

People who buy Chinese phones like Xiaomi, usually get the Chinese version and install Google play or they wait for the international version?
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Doesn't really matter, if you get the Chinese variant you can always flash the international version of the rom, although their unlock bootloader process is a bit cumbersome. If you want it on the Chinese ROM it's not just the matter of installing Google Play, you are missing Google Services Framework so you need to get that first.

What if I buy the chinese version then apply for boatload unlock, then download international official ROM with google services framework?
I've been looking around to try and find out if it's available and can be used in Canada. I found the Canadian site http://xiaomi-mi.ca/ that claims to be an official Xiaomi site but every phone on there has a 5 star rating so I find this very suspect... I'm also not clear on the whole band thing as some companies discuss them as Band 1, band 2 and so on, and some use 1700/2100 MHz and so on. According to http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5-6948.php the 1700/2100 band for LTE is covered.. I think it should work no problem if I read this all correctly.

Anybody able to order yet for international delivery? Trying to get one here in USA... aliexpress & other seem not to have any yet Even though on sale......

Hi,
I bought a P30 pro, 256GB with a Huawei Watch GT (a "gift") , at 3.dk in Denmark for DKK 5.160 i.e. ~ $ 775 + ~$7 a month more than I used to pay for the network. It is to be delivered next week.
I know nothing about the version no., but hope it is European 432. Dual-sim should be included.
I have been quite happy with my P20 pro, but unhappy with slow very slow updates. But after a year of updates the camera i absolutely faboulous now, which it was not to begin with.
According to our DXO friends in France the P30 pro is the absolutely best on photografing, so I am looking forward to see if they are right there
Good luck
Kurt
So Amazon UK has it for pre-order with delivery by April 6... was able to place an order here in the USA... Funny enough, Amazon France has it as well but won't... I'll see if they scrap my pre-order but in my recent experience with the Xiaomi Mi 9, if the order is in, it charges ok and then its golden... fingers cross. Should get it before April 9th!!!!

It should go through. I ordered the Huawei super car charger from there and it said couldn't be delivered to the US. I got it a few days later. Already placed my order for the P30 pro from Amazon UK.

TMobile of course but yes no wifi calling since its not a phone available in the US even though I heard TMobile overseas has it as an offering. I haven't dig into that aspect to see if I can. I do know that you can always do the the Google voice workaround but really isn't a factor for me currently :angel:

I purchased mine from TechnoLec U.K. and got the unlocked Global / U.K. version for use in the USA. I did not get the best deal, but I didn't want to mess with some of the other people on eBay that seemed a little sketchy. These guys are authorized and they had 100% ratings. Hopefully it works out.

Can you confirm the phone has VOLTE on TMO US?
Place a call with wifi off and see if it still says 4g LTE.
Or download Network Cell Info Lite from playstore and go to the Device + Sim and see if VoLTE capable says "Yes".
Screen shot would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi All
I almost bought the P30 pro from Dubai whilst on a long layover last week, but I stopped myself as I wasn't 100% sure if it would work back in the UK.
Does anyone know if phones are region locked and thus stopping me buying from Dubai and then using in the UK?
if there is anything else i should look out for, help would be appreciated
Thanks

As long it's not a tied to telco set it will work anywhere and will work fine in the uk but may face some lte issues back in the states as there are missing bands and no, as far as i know, huawei doesn't provide international warranty like apple does. So, if there's an issue, you've to send it back to Dubai, provided it's an official huawei set from huawei dubai and not an imported set from a non reputable shop

You can after unlocking the bootloader. Also keep in mind the Chinese version don't work on certain LTE bands in some parts of the world. I bought a Chinese one and the LTE didn't work on O2 network in UK. I had to return it and get the global Mi 9, hope this helps.

The shops selling the Chinese one should have the global one as well, also check online and ebay most of the sellers selling this phone on ebay are from China, they can send you a piece on a quick delivery, keep in mind global only comes with 6gb ram and has a global rom, in order to check go to settings..... about phone and look at MIUI version it should say global, mine is "global 10.2.1 stable", hope this helps
