I have 3 fingerprints saved and it never unlocks on first contact often it will require me to input my pin. I'm on the Xiaomi.EU stable ROM. Is this happening to everyone?

For me I am on global stable and never had any issues since 12.5.4 (now on 12.5.7). Perfect in every way. I use it for sooooo many apps, bank app, photos, WhatsApp, investments, binance, work related apps x2, insurance, google pay, etc.. never had any issue

Not the best i ever used tbh. It's a hit or miss but mostly miss..

s hello guys, on my mi 11 pro with the xiaomi.eu rom was a disaster. I have to start over several times before I can unlock it
After starting this thread I have actually been having a better time using the fingerprint unlock. I think it is down to simply aiming my finger in the correct place. Still not perfect but much better, maybe the sensor need to be larger for ease of use?

So instead of making separate threads, I thought it might be helpful making this thread to ask questions.
I'll start of: How long does it take for the global version to go on sale after the Chinese one?
I current have a OnePlus 5T but I would like to upgrade to this phone (Mi 8) I was wondering where can I buy this phone and ship to the US? I know there's not market or anything. But I don't want to to pay double price either from a third party.
Thanks!

Average sot without heavy gaming?
Is it treble enabled?
sure, it comes pre installed with android 8.1
Hi guys. Since this is a Q&A thread, i'm wondering:
I bought my Mi 8 today, china version. Will I still be able to flash global software on it, or just the chinese firmware?
And when it comes to flashing AOSP, will there be any difference?
Thanks a lot.
I'm not a noot in flashing, I've had Nexus for the last couple years,and i'm quite confident with it. Just not aware if it will be same rom for both versions or not.

hello. does the samsung amoled screen of mi 8 deteriorates? easily? is there a way to prevent it? im having second thoughts of buying it because of it. i hoping it will remain same quality after 3 years like ips.
- Does someone (especially from germany) tried WifiCalling? Does it work?
- Does someone tried a USB Power Delivery 3.0 Charger, how fast (how many watts) does it charge?

Do you mean any form of burn in? I have it since 12/06 and no burn in at all. (what a surprise )
I think it will not have much troubles with burn in, because it has full screen gestures (so no buttons which can burn in).
The navigation bar eventually can burn in, but I think that will be not annoying.
does it have fingerprint gesture? always listening ok google?

Mi 8 is released in hong kong, and reading the site, it suggests that the nfc wallet can be used for services and specifically mentions google pay. Does this mean that there is a global rom now for mi 8, as google pay requires google services and afiak no chinese rom has these installed?
https://www.mi.com/hk/mi8/
I'm guessing it doesn't ship with Google Play. Is this hard to install? Do you need to unlock bootloader for the eventual global rom?

Google Services arent hard to install. You just need the Google Installer Apk which installs you all services, without the need off unlocking bootloader or root the devices before.
I dont know if you need an unlocked bootloader for the global rom - I would say no but i can be wrong.
Title says it. In the screenshot you can see the left side where the notch is, the screen is black. I noticed the Chinese version of Pubg doesn't have this. I wonder if the global version can stretch all the way
*EDIT* with an update to MIUI (mine is Chinese), the problem was fixed
*Either that or PuBG update fixed it but I don't remember getting a pubg update
NVM, the latest update where the notch can be unsmoothened seems to have fixed it

Or you can switch to xiaomi.eu and have the benefits of bouth global and Chinese ROMs and more. LINK
You will need to unlock and install TWRP thought. No need to root and you will not void the warranty from what I read.

I know yes. I allrdy applied for unlock 3 days ago!

I really need some understanding. Wdym by "benefits" of Chinese version?
Does .eu have proper notifications? Because in Chinese notifications seem like a complete train wreck. Sometimes they show sometimes not. Some make noise while others don't. Particularly, I use Muslim Pro and the adhan never plays. Only vibrations.
If I remember correctly, it worked fine on global on my OnePlus 5T before.
Is Xiao AI replaced with Google?
Does the theme use Chinese or English themes? (If I know correct, the Chinese themes are better)
I saw all the extra features in Xiaomi.eu. But small things in Chinese bug the heck out of me. Like notifications not working properly or showing on lockscreen. Xiao AI, Chinese language here and there. Improper Google Integration(like Casting is broken) and many other small things which I don't recall. I'm very worried if those carry over to Xiaomi.eu
But then I don't think I have much of a choice anyway since if I heard correct, the 8GB doesn't support global ROM or something. So I might just be left with Xiaomi.eu.
But I just have 188 hours to unlock . Which i think falls on April 9th

After the update it's now more like the iPhone X with the options being moved a bit away from the curves so nothing is cut off. Also makes it easier on the fingers to reach things.
But most importantly, no black bar(s)
Guys i am having a problem...
Just bought a new redmi note 9 2 days ago and so far its a really goodphone...BUT it is reaaally laggy..i mean opening snapchat takes about 10 seconds and other apps too, the camera app is a disaster in terms of loading times..

Hmmm, I have the 4gb/128gb version - I can see how the extra memory might make a bit of difference, especially given MIUI's bloat, but I wouldn't have expected you to experience such slow performance. I guess we're using the same EU rom. Maybe look at trying to strip out some of the bloatware? Might help a bit?

For some reason, as soon as I changed my Mi 10 Ultra to the xiaomi.eu version it lost 5g, and others reported the same, so slightly concerned about the same happening again.
Yep I lost mine as well thought I was the only one. I've tried going back to stock chinese rom but my phone just gets stuck at endless bootloops even doing all the cache wipes. This time I may go far as rooting stock rom and deleting all chinese apps or disabling. I had perfect 5g
