Permanent Notification for Mi 8

Hi guys ,
i have a Mi 8 ( stock, not root) with Miui 10 global Version 9.5.17 and i did not see Permanent notification on bar.
Is there a possibility to see this (without use of any paid app) ? Maybe in the next updates of globa?
Mi 8 lite and Pocofone f1 already have this possibility.
thanks for the help

Search on the forum.

There is one for free, and I'm not going to share a link since it was shared on device forums before. Search before asking it. Good luck.

It's called Notch Notifications for Miui.
Get it from Playstore.
It work great once set up.
I adjusted the icons to be a bit larger and closer to the left hand edge of the screen,this can be done easily in the app.
Do it once and youre good to go.I only use the free version and it's perfect,you can also buy a version which adds a few features.

I didn't do anything special. It was functional from the beginning.

I have this in maps as in below attachment

I tried all, miui permission,app settings, battery optimization and app permission
I turned on everything but still I can't share my location and I can't view my timeline in Google maps

Alright, I checked back and found location history off in the setting showed in the attachment. Did some digging and found that it's a widespread problem for china rom.
So, trying global rom is only option left.

Hi!
I have same problem and I think it have to do with ROM we are using. I'm guessing you are on CN ROM (as I am) and kibria.mgk is on IN version of ROM.
It must be something that Xiaomi removed from CN ROM.
I also have problem with using AR in Google Maps and guess it is all connected.
We have to wait for Global (EU) version and then it will work.

It's really disgusting that Xiaomi choose to lock the bootloader according to region,
I thought Android was open source and end-user is is free to choose what he wants ,how he wants his device to be,but these kind of things, I don't F*going understand,if I had brought something from someone then I don't have right to do to anything with the product I have purchased and I own ?
It's like you have freedom but still it's been regulated
WTF ??? Common man!!

Unlocking bootloader is like potential risk of your device to get hacked, at today everything is on phon. I mean literally all your personal data and Information regarding your bank account or your contact or your pictures,you name it you have it on your phone
And most recently it saw a news update that snapdragon proccessor has been hacked,it's named as repawn or snappawn I don't remember exactly
But what the ****???
I spent alot of money on a new device that it's better and secure than my previous device,but I'm so restricted???
I don't really understand
I feel like I should get back to my old Nokia black and white phone where I don't have to face all this ****
And just play snake game for fun

What are you complaining about. All regions are bootloader locked. All regions can unlock the bootloader. You are free to install anything you like on all versions of the phone.
The only restriction is that you can only relock the bootloader with the official ROM from the same region the phone is from.
Try buying an iPhone and see how much freedom you get to do what you want with the phone.

Same issue here on Taiwan telecom usage.
No Google Location History function in Google Map.
Can not Enabled it even install Apk from APKMirror.

On my Mi 9T Pro (global rom) everything is turned on, nothing paused, no battery restrictions, no monkey business whatsoever. Still, when I during one day by car visit six places, only 2-3 places is 'recorded' and visible on my timeline. What could possibly be the culprit here? Any suggestion appreciated.

China set is sold much cheaper then global ,of course they want to control sales within their country,but many want to save $$ and buy china set ,so it's really the user choice to get china or global set. And don't ask me why china set are sold so much cheaper.

i flashed miui eu rom, location history is on but still, my timeline is can't record any place i visit that day...

Does anyone know of a work-around on China ROMs, as that is the issue.
Possibly a patched Google Maps app or system mod?

I have exactly the same problem. Worked for a while then stopped.

I'm on china rom and planning to flash to eu rom.
I was wondering does the nfc working on eu rom?

This is a thread for Google Maps issues, but I'm on EU ROM and am using NFC happily for Google Pay after following the guidance found elsewhere, so the answer is yes.

sorry for late respond bro,
update your ROM MIUI eu stable 11.0.4.0
it works

Deciding whether to return

I just got this device yesterday with the Global rom. It seems like there are no real customizations for it. For instance, how do I change the navigation bar at the bottom? Is there anyway to have it go away when I'm in an app or web browsing? It cuts off a chunk of viewable screen space on this phone.
Also, is there no tap the screen to wake functionality?

Fng will work. Just give permission with adb and it's good to go.

Well, the American version is very limited, the Chinese version is the most complete, and has all that you mention, gesture navigation and many more functions

Does anyone know if Nubia will bring over more customizations to the 3s? I threw on Nova launcher and it's much better now.

I talked to them and they are planning more features.

Yes I will but I don't use android auto though.

I'm in China and thinking to buy one. Can you explain me how to flash the global firmware? Or is it just enough install the GApps?

Just got mine a week ago. Android Auto did NOT work for me. When I hit "wireless Android Auto" link, the screen goes blank white, and can't do anything.

Has anyone been able to run Android auto on Chinese device?

I have faith! When i tried to connect by wireless my screen went white as someone said here before.... But!
I updated to a newer version and it didn't do it at all! (See files attached)
I'm still waiting to get the car and try it but the new version, allow, by theory, to do it!

Did you tried *wired* android auto?

AA is not preinstall in the ColorOS12 rom, it won't work.

Question Is it worth it?

Miui eu is good for normal use I m not fan but it's good compared to other

Its bug ridden mess for sure.
The two most noteworthy imo are:
Wirless Android Auto? Nice joke, any short Network drop while traveling will close Android auto.
Want to use a diferent Launcher? I hope you dont like Gestures cause they wont natively on third party launcher.
