Hello, I have a problem with the contact sync on the phone.
I have added the MI and Gmail account. Additionally I have added the outlook app as the previous phone was a windows 10 mobile phone and an Windows PC is being used.
Now contacts are saved and new ones created under "save in outlook" in the original contacts app, but for some reason after a certain time maybe 10 minutes or longer they just disappear in the contacts list.
They are not setup on outlook either when I go via the outlook app.
Also numbers are changed within a contact and it is not updated to the web. In view settings i have selected "all" to view and yet it just shows contacts with a phone number even though there are hundred setup on the web end of outlook.
Is this a MIUI problem or Outlook? Would a proper customer rom help maybe Cyanogen?
Hi i did got the same problem. I was on the china rom version. Since i'm in the global rom, everything is fine. In which version or you ?
No Idea how you check this but I would say I am on the China rom. The one where UK was not available as language. Guess cyanogenmod will not release an update anytime soon so I better go onto that other rom.
could you link how to check that and how to upgrade it? much appreciated
Upgrade is really easy, but you will loose all installed data!
Go to: http://en.miui.com/download-315.html
Choose between one of the two files, I recommend stable image for daily usage.
Copy it to the phone, if you haven't already downloaded it on the phone.
Open the Updater app, select the three dots on the top right and select 'choose update package'. Select now your downloaded zip and it it will ask you if you really want to flash it. Because it's a different ("older") image, it will also inform you that it will wipe the device. Confirm it and it will reboot and start the installation, which takes around 15 minutes. Afterwards you're welcomed with a new fresh installation where you can select many languages.
Note, if it doesn't work (I'm not 100% sure if it's recovery or fastboot image anymore...), download the file from here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Good thing though, you don't need to unlock the phone and don't need to connect it to the PC
so the global version is behind the original version from china? and will it auto update? is this some official source or some "community" rom
At least the developer edition is not behind
It will auto update and it is an official release which doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. Xiaomi.eu is inofficial and requires unlocked bootloader.
The developer build is typically updated weekly, although it can sometimes be "deferred" for some weeks if they test new drivers or similar (happening since around 3 weeks with the Mi 5s, last week was the first regular build again).
So I can update the rom without connecting to the PC from here to stable: http://en.miui.com/download-315.html and it auto updates, right
If you already have the global or chinese stable installed, yes you can. If you currently have a custom or store image installed, it might fail doing the update.
Once you have the Global stable installed, it will receive updates via OTA automatically, you just choose the time when to install.
I think there wasn't yet an update for the 5s Plus and the global stable image, at least the version number 8.0.1.0 suggests that.

I enrolled for the Android O Beta a few months ago and installed it on my Pixel. I decided to leave, so I went to https://www.google.com/android/beta only to find that "there are no eligible devices associated with this Google account." I'm signed into the same account on both the phone and the site. I tried basic things like signing out and in, running app updates, and I even reset and re-setup the phone. Nothing worked, so I sideloaded the latest stable 7.x release. It installed fine, but upon setting it up, I received the beta notification telling me to update. I checked the site again, and the phone still isn't listed.
Has anyone encountered anything like this?
I had this exact problem multiple times trying to join and unjoin the beta. Even contacted Google and they couldn't help at all.
I actually had to make a new email, remove the account on the phone and sign in with the new email. At that point the page acknowledges that I have a " eligible device ". I'll join or unenroll and when it's done I sign back into my device.
Another problem (more critical in my opinion) is when I get the message that my devices are not eligible, I also can't use the web Android device manager. For example, I wouldn't be able to locate my device, make it ring, or lock and erase it.

I just got a used XL with the persistent beta notice that wouldn't go away, but installing the 8.1 OTA finally made it go away.
Just wondering if it could be done
I am wondering install mipay on my rooted mix 2 which is using miui.Eu 7.9.22.
Miui Chinese version has a lot of ads and it's annoying me.
I have personally had no luck with Magisk Rooted, I tried with Stock Chinese Rom 8.5.4 and older Version, Beta 9, EU Rom, and Epic Rom.
I had success doing this: (Verizon seems to have no Data connection on Chinese Stock 8.5.4 roms, once MIUI 9 is installed there is no issue, just FYI. )
Have bootloader unlocked
TWRP 3.1.1 installed.
TWRP Format Data
Download Chinese Stock 8.5.4 Rom via MIUI site. from computer
connect phone to computer while in TWRP paste Chinese rom to phone
Install Chinese Rom
Boot Chinese Rom
Go to Updates - and download update if available / or go to top right and choose download update (we just want it to download an update file)
go to PC and download the DEV MIUI 9 rom.
Once Update on phone is downloaded - connect phone to PC - go to downloaded-roms
Delete the "update" that was downloaded
Paste the MIUI 9 DEV update on phone - downloaded-roms
On phone go to top right Manually install update.
(message about formatting data will appear - accept and install)
Once the phone is done - setup like normal
Use mi store to install Play store
Download this version of Sam Pay - Older APK. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuILo2G6gRA89j9E2YcOflczu3iU and install
then go to play store and install gear app.
Go back to sam pay - You may need to install again to find it - accept all prompts to install services /apps.
Proceed with normal setup.
DO NOT UPDATE SAMPAY - if you update, the device will appear rooted.
Best of Luck
Update, i got Sam Pay working with Magisk using Xenon HD latest.
Cheers.
Awesome! Which module did you use? Well that's
bump.. i have a locked bootloader china firmware mix 2. will samsung pay work?
Hello, Can you use sampay on MST device ? does i work ?
Hello guys,
My note 5 pro bootloader is unlocked and was linked to my Mi Account earlier. Later on, I installed AOSP Extended ROM and used it for few days. Today I tried to installed Miuipro and Globerom and this where thee problem started. These roms installed ok and booted up as well but i got the "Activate this device". Usually i used to enter my MI account password and it would unlock and i was able to proceed with further setup. But today, when I entered my password, it said "couldn't verify mi account id. can't connect to the network".
I tried changing the password for my Mi account but its the same issue. So, I logged in to my Mi Cloud account and removed the device from my account hoping that would delink the device from my account, but that did not happen.
I tried installing official rom, did not work, did a format of the device and then installed the rom again, not working, installed the latest firmware, not working
Im able to install custom roms and use the device without any issues but unable to install any MIUI based rom Official or Custom.
Can someone please help me get out of this situation?

Yes, i was able to resolve the issue by following the vpn method. First install official Miui 9.5.13. When you install this version, you will get an option to skip the Mi account verification process. After completing the setup, install a VPN app, I used Turbo VPN as Zero vpn did not work for me. Set the server to UK and then go to Settings > Mi Account > Sign In
Once you sign in, go to the Mi account again and sign out and confirm. this will delete the device from your account and you won't be asked to activate the device when you install MIUI 10.

I got a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 with Chinese ROM already installed. I'm very happy with the phone itself but wanted to install the Global Developer ROM.
Downloaded the Flashboot ROM from miui and flashed according to the tutorial in the wiki and everything seems to be working fine.
Since I haven't installed much on the chinese ROM, I decided to also reset the phone so I can start fresh. The problem I have right now is that I cannot get past the Google login to access the phone.
After logging into the account it keeps saying 'Please sign in using one of the owner's accounts for this device' even though this is the account I used previously with this phone without any issues.

If you can, install twrp and use the inbuilt file manager to delete Google setup app from /system

Also I believe there's a module allowing you to skip the setup wizard. Just flash magisk 16 and that module zip shall do？
Hi there. I'm new to Xiaomi/MIUI and would appreciate any help with the following issues.
Mi 10T – Global Stable 12.0.8 – stock launcher – MIUI optimization ON – de-bloated with ADB
I can't see how much storage space is being taken up by each installed app/package. They all show a "0" value.
I can't find Running Services under Developer Options.
I can't permanently disable usage access for System Launcher. It re-enables itself once I exit the settings menu.
App icons aren't updating. For example, Gmail, Maps, Photos and FB Messenger still display their old icons, despite me using the latest versions of those apps.
Google Play still displays the older menu style, despite me using the latest version of that app.
System Apps Updater doesn't detect OTA updates, despite several newer versions of MIUI 12 system apps existing on APK Mirror. This issue presented itself before I began de-bloating.
Updater doesn't detect OTA updates. I had to sideload 12.0.8 in order to update from the phone's original OS version (12.0.7). This issue presented itself before I began de-bloating.
Full disclosure: I'd rather not turn off MIUI optimization to see if that resolves any of these issues, as I'm not keen on resetting permissions (again).
Edit:
When I uninstall an app via the app drawer, a gap is left in its place. The icon of the uninstalled app is still there, it just turns invisible. I can uninstall it over and over, but it doesn't go away until I reboot the phone.
There doesn't appear to be a way to turn off the phone's equalizer. I can't use Blackplayer's equalizer until I do so. I don't know if the same applies to other music players.
Edit:
There doesn't appear to be a way to add emergency contacts or access them via the lockscreen emergency dialer. Emergency information (com.android.emergency) exists within the list of installed apps.
I'm on Global 12.0.7, unlocked, rooted and debloated. Stock recovery. What did you exactly do to update to 12.0.8? I do not want to wipe and I'm a little confused with the procedure...

I downloaded it from here, went to About Phone in Settings, clicked on the OS version number in the top left, clicked on the 3-dot menu in the top right and installed it via Mi File Manager.
AFAIK, you can only use Mi File Manager to install the update via this method. If you've disabled or uninstalled it, nothing will happen when you click that menu option – even if you've installed another file manager.

I just tried this. It reboots and starts updating... but goes from 0.X% to 100% in two seconds, then it boots and it's still 12.0.7

Finally I booted into TWRP and flashed 12.0.9 from there, no issues.
