Ah okay, I didint have any issues with Google play services as I used the Google Installer from MiMarket.
Stable version doesn't have root, you need to flash the dev edition.

That's not an online shop I've ever heard of, they might have stitched you up and sent you a fake.
Why didin't you order from somewhere like Xiaomishop, Xiaomiworld or oppomart. Those are the licenced resellers that I know about.

Lol can't believe anyone would actually be stupid enough to buy a fake Mi4. Or listen to someone else who is trying to discourage from buying this great device. Clearly he has no idea about which phone to buy and where...

I bought mine from Xiaomishop, who are in my view one of the best resellers of Xiaomi devices. They have an EU warehouse that they ship products from, plus they also test every device before they send it out.

Yep I bought a Mi4 64GB 3g wcdma version couple of weeks ago and it has been working perfectly on the O2 (giffgaff) network in the UK for me.

I agree with this totally, to be honest he should have found out whether the phone was going to work in his country or not. He's only got himself to blame, the only option as I see it now is that he sends it back.

Haha yeah well I only suggest what I would do or have done myself.
Getting a no for what? If you bought it from a reliable source like a proper reseller then you can use your warranty just fine. Some resellers even have an EU warehouse so you don't have to send the phone to China at all.

Yes using the current v6 rom.
The only Chinese bits I've noticed are the themes and that's it. I have no issues with it at all, everything I use daily is in English. All Google apps work fine too.

Just create an account mate, it won't hurt at all. You don't actually need to go on there or do anything. Also your mi account will help if you need to claim warranty on the device

Yep it's amazing, better than I expected and by a huge margin. I'm astonished, especially since MIUI v6 isn't as optimised as it could be yet.
