    Are you satisfied with MI8?

    So am I. (8.10.11) are you not experiencing any of the following? (these are the 3 that bother me the most) The camera is really bad in comparison to how it was in the Oreo based MIUI 9 ROMS.(seriously, use a computer and have a look at them/zoom in - the lack of detail and noise level is...

    Are you satisfied with MI8?

    No bugs? Having tried every ROM out there, please forgive me for being a little skeptical of that..... What ROM are you using?

    Are you satisfied with MI8?

    No, unfortunately not. On balance, I'd say I've never been as disappointed with a phone, as I have with the MI 8. I should have bought a OnePlus 6. The ROMS from here are the best you can get on the phone at this point in time, but there are still plenty of issues. There is no single firmware...

    Mi8 Camera Gate! (bad quality in auto mode)

    Agreed. Also, in the latest EU Tom, the secondary rear camera is not functioning AT ALL. The best pics I got were from the Android 8.1 based China Stable (I think it was 9.5.6.0 which had loads of other issues - Bluetooth, GPS, Gapps incompatiblities and Android auto 'bars', NFC/pay issues...

    New Mi8 Android P

    Camera app doesn't use the second sensor for 2x zoom, so photo quality when zoomed is drastically reduced. Ah, I see it is a known issue, like not being able to hide the notch and Google Hotword detection not working.

    Xiaomi Mi8 Global Version

    Yeah, it's really annoying. I have major issues with GPS, Bluetooth, Android Auto etc etc - really poor software for Xiaomi flagship device. Currently my Xiaomi MI A1 is far more useful on a day to day basis (and it has a 3.5mm jack and IR blaster, which are nice to have too)

    [Solved] Encrypted storage on Mi8 with Miui 10 8.7.19

    if the phone is in fastboot mode (which I assume it is, if you've done this before - it'll show FASTBOOT on the screen), maybe there's a driver or fastboot issue on the linux workstation.

    [Solved] Encrypted storage on Mi8 with Miui 10 8.7.19

    I don't know, I haven't received mine yet. :( If and when mine finally arrives (which reminds me I need to chase the supplier tomorrow) I will test and let you know. My response is based on what I did with my better half's MIX 2s (and I have had plenty of experience flashing ROMs on...

    [Solved] Encrypted storage on Mi8 with Miui 10 8.7.19

    ok.... my guess is that you didn't format the data partition basic steps (I know you will prob know most of this already):- Unlock phone bootloader with MiFlash Unlock Use Fastboot to Install and run TWRP (I'd use version 3.2.1, people have been having odd issues with 3.2.2) Go to Wipe menu...

    MIUI 10 8.7.5

    Hi Mark, buying from *that place* is a big mistake? :( Over the last 5 years I've bought around a dozen handsets (mainly Xiaomi and Nubia), this is the first time one has gone missing during transit. I've bought from lots of the usual places before (the two popular ones that start with a "G"...

    MIUI 10 8.7.5

    That's not gear to hear. I've just joined the forum to have a look around as I am looking to get Android Pay working on the better half's MIX 2S. Probably the same as you, when you add the card and CVC code, it says :- Couldn't finish setup to pay in stores This phone cannot be used to pay in...
