[SOLVED] Xiaomi EU Rom (Miui 10) and Llama app -permission?

Hi I have new xiaomi mi max 3, running miui 10 beta eu rom 8.8.9
I'm using llama for profile automation for years, like turning off data or wifi at certain day time and places with various phones, never have problem.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&hl=en_AU
but with xiaomi phone, it gave me notification pops up about "llama is trying to turn wlan on or off" the option are: deny once, allow once.
very annoying because sometime i move from cell to cell a lot during the day and i need to keep pressing allow once few times
already gave llama device administrator, etc etc. my phone isn't rooted but bootloader is unlocked.
anyone know how to grant llama full permission? thanks
EDIT
doh, missing that turn on wifi permission - i have granted it should be fine now. sorry guys.

Does Huawei EMUI has security feature that can lock the device remotely?

i just got Huawei Mate 20 recently, i'm looking for some security features, that can help users, in case we lost our phone or got stolen.
i'm looking for security feature that similar to MIUI or IOS, that can lock the device if we lost it.
in MIUI, the phone will be lock and can only be unlocked by signing in with Mi Account while connected to cellular network, it won't work with WiFi. even if somebody do a Factory Reset or re-Flashing the ROM (as long as it is MIUI Based cutom ROM), the phone will be locked again once connected to internet. and also we can track it as long as the SIM card is still attached, connected to cellular network and with "find my device" option enabled in Mi Account. we can also put some message to the lock screen. this is based on my personal experience using MIUI for almost 4 years. i'm hoping that EMUI has the similar feature.
in IOS, i got information, that IOS has the best Anti-Theft system, said that when iCloud is locked, there is no way of accessing the phone if we can't sign in to iCloud, some source also mention, if you ever forget you iCloud account, your iPhone is officially turned into garbage (please correct me if i'm wrong about this)
so, Does EMUI has the similar feature or even better one ? please let me know
note: sorry for my bad english
On your computer, go to Google.com with your Google account logged in then search "android find my phone".
From that screen you might find the feature you are looking for.

mi unlock tool keeps resetting my hours

TLDR; is there a way to bypass the mi unlock tool, cuz it ain't working for me. timer keeps getting reset. and no matter what i do, it keeps happening. also xiaomi support is absolutely useless
so i received my k20 pro about a month or more ago with the intention of putting on a custom rom.
from what i can tell, i've done everything right. i initially had 360 hours to unlock according to the tool. opened it again the next day to make sure the counter was going down. and it was fine.
but then i went back about a week later, and the countdown was at 380!!
did some digging and fiddling seems like perhaps i reset the account on the phone somehow or maybe the update to miui 11 reset it, i dunno, it certainly was NOT intentionally signed out.
so i made sure to do everything proper (which btw might be impossible bcuz all the guides are either broken chinese/english translations, or the ui/menus have changed, links to the english forums go nowhere): removed/re-enabled the mi account on the phone. dev mode. pair the account to the mi unlock status
380 hours.... check the next day.... looks good
that was about 6 days ago. so i went to double check the countdown again today.... back to 380!?!?!?!?
what the hell is going on? something reset again? now i legit cant even find the developer options menu. and the mi account thing. something reset developer mode. just had to go reactivate it
is there anyway to just bypass all this crap and unlock the bootloader, or something i am doing to cause this reset??? do i just have to leave the phone on the fastboot screen for 380 hours or something?
its been weeks with miui and i really want it gone, i dont want to start another 380 countdown to just go back a week later and have it reset
plz help, thanks

that was a post i made on reddit a few weeks ago. i've since had a timer in my calendar, to wait the allotted time. only to see the timer reset TWICE. it's about a total of 4 times that this timer reset has happened to me.
i have contacted xiaomi "support" during all these resets and they all send me some boiler plate message along the lines of:
"I would request you to follow the timer/ waiting period shown in Mi Unlock Tool to unlock successfully, you'll see this sentence "Couldn't unlock the device after XXXX hours" which means "Please unlock after XXX hours." There is some translation issue in Mi Unlock Tool. Also would like to inform you that after you've successfully bound your Mi Account, do not log out the approved Mi account from your phone. Otherwise, the timer will be reset and you gotta spend more time waiting again."
i've literally begged them to put me into contact with someone who can actually help. my last message literally said plz don't respond with a canned answer, and guess what, i got the same canned answer, yay.
edit: finally got it unlocked thanks for helping
Hey,
I once got a similar issue where my timer reset itself.
My problem was just to login with my Xiaomi account and tried unlocking once, after that I put the phone in the drawer back without using it very much. You have to use the phone actively to not get the timer resetet.
Try this:
1. activate phone with mi-account and install some apps from google
2. try unlocking with the tool
3. have a sim-card inserted every second / third day and/or always a wifi connection
4. use the phone a bit (I did it after work when coming home for 15 minutes)
Do not log out your mi-account, do not turn on flightmode, do not reset your phone during waiting
after that I had no reset and could unlock my phone with the latest mi unlock tool. I hope this will help you.

I almost did the same steps. I throw it in last corner and was charging it a bit, that's all. Didn't use it at all until the timer was over.
WiFi was activated the whole time and I removed the Sim after login into mi account and apply for unlock. Worked now 2 times this way.:good:

so you guys just used another phone while waiting for the unlock timer? i guess maybe i should just do that. my old phone was a huge POS, hence getting a new one. but maybe it'll be worth it. are we sure it doesnt need a sim card? wifi is good enough. cuz it explicitly says to use the phone data when linking the accounts
thanks guys

Yes for linking the device you will need sim card. But after that I removed it and put it back in my old phone. As I said it worked now two times.
got it to unlock last night, thanks for the tips guys

Google Pay issue

We have 9 se phones, MIUI 11, Android 10. I install Gpay, I added my Curve card last October, I paid with NFC, it worked until February. Since then, the card has been rejected by Gpay as a paypass payment device. Customer service is diverting, not doing anything.
And now comes the curiosity: I took out my old OnePlus 3 phone, installed Gpay, added my Curve card (same card, same Google account!) And it works! But only with the OnePlus phone, even though it's rooted! Mi9se is a global (MIXM) ROM. Can MIUI stir?
Tapatalkkal küldve az én Mi 9 SE eszközömről
G-Pay is not problem with Mi 9 SE (Miui and Custom roms). I am using every day. Try: https://github.com/davidramiro/gpay-gms-patch/blob/master/README.md
Hello, I had the same problem!
It turned out I had accidentally enabled the dual app feature for Google Pay, and it seems that's what causing it to glitch.
By enabling dual app with Miui, the phone creates a "Twin" app that enables the user to work on 2 apps at once, it seems that's what cause it to glitch.
The instructions they gave me are the following:
"1.Go to the Device Settings. Scroll down and touch "Dual applications".
2. Check if the dual applications are turned off. In the same window, tap the settings button (gear icon) in the top right corner.
3. Tap Dual application accounts> Delete data from dual application accounts.
4. Restart your device and open Google Pay."
After that remember to unlink the card completely and trying to re-link the card.
I hope it helps!
The problem persists.
I'm starting to think that the phone itself or its software is the cause of the problem.
I tried multiple NFC-enabled phones with the same Google Account and the same Curve credit card.
Phones tested:
Oneplus 3, Huawei P Smart, Sony Xperia M4.
It works on all of them, only Mi9Se rejects touch payment.
The phone is intact, BL is not open, no root, MIUI: Global 11.0.4.0 (QFBMIXM)
???????????????
PLS Help!
No one?
I just can't believe that Gpay touch payment has been working on the phone for almost half a year, then from one moment to the next it no longer works and there is no explanation or solution!
As I wrote, it works on every other type of phone I can find nearby. This will also start the registration and I will get a "touch registration cannot be completed" error message.
Since it works on several other phones (including OnePlus 3, which is rooted with an open loader), I can only imagine that either the type (MI 9Se) is banned from the system or its software.
I want to use this phone for my daily work, I should with Gpay NFC!

Issues with 12.1.2.0

I've updated with OTA stable update and it's seemed to mess things up. Now I can't attach attachments in any app, open dual apps, it comes up with complete action using and it's blank. It seems to make the phone useless now.
Even when trying to send things it doesn't want to attach it
I too have big problems after updating to Android 11 on the Global Mi10T Pro., but it's version 12.1.1.xxx for me.
Apps like GMail, Maps etc work ok. Many others like Chrome, Brave etc just hang. Gestures no longer work. Settings is unreliable.
PC Suite won't connect - it says I need to update my device.
I wonder whether I have to try a Factory Reset - but that's a pain with no proper backup of all the apps and their state.
EEA version 12.1.2.0 - CRAP!!!
@madnlooney: enable MIUI optimizations in developer options and you will solve problems.
My bugs: at once part of touchscreen where green phone is (for answering calls) just stops working. And it is not working in any app, in screen test app.... until reboot. And it happens randomly... I think this will be my last xiaomi device. I had mi max 3 for over 2 years without resets and stuff, worked like a charm (eu rom). I broke screen (waiting new screen atm).
additional problem (happened on previous versions): mobile data just stop working. I have to turn it off and than on again. I am using both SIM slots (private+work).
Now i have big problem with this since i am on a business trip outside my country and I have problems with phone (and factory reset is out of options, since I have AND USE bank app (among others - work apps), so no go). When I return I will ditch it and buy other brand...
This phone had problems on Android 10 and has problems now too. between mi max3 and this i had poco x3nfc and had problems with it too - I think xiaomi cant keep up with huge amount of models that puts to market.
has anyone maybe some solution to my problems?

Custom roms. Most of the apps will work out of the box if you don't root your device. Few of the banking apps that don't work can be solved with magiskhide...
Thanks, bit as I mentioned, not possible ATM, I cant open bootloader and I dont have access to bank, since i am >1500km out of my country.
Considering that is 2021, it looks like i am ditching xiaomi (after 7 years).

If we enable that, how to install split apk files? is there a solution for that too?
dual apps are miui thing, nothing to do with miui optimization
Well, EEA version 12.1.2.0 - is CRAP indeed!!!
It has been a childish attempt like: Hurray we are on android 11 too...!!!
First, they have not checked the main feature of a phone... To make and end Phone calls....
The "end" button does not respond sometimes. Randomly.
I've seen this reported in several discussions and no response from support.
Second, after the update to 12.1.2.0 SECOND SPACE broke..!!
The option to add and remove files disappeared.
A bad surprise, as the only option given, for the data you had saved in second space is to DELETE..
The import export option for files just vanished.
We can only hope that Miui 12.5 will make the Mi 10t Pro a descent Phone as it is an excellent hardware.
What I hate with this v12 is, (not sure if it was same with the previous ones) to be forced to use the mi search. If someone knows how to revert it back to Google search, will be greatly appreciated.
And if any Xioami staff or responsible seeing this message, i need to tell this. ’I don't have to use your crappy search *hit, and noone can force me to do something for a device I paid for. You have all the stupid ’features' and ads in a single thing. And the recommendations, ohh, will make me vomit...
Before you recommend me what to search for, let me recommend you something first. Go and learn why Google is doing the best with keeping the apps pure and simple. When I want to search for the best wines to drink for dinner, you're forcing me to see the turtle copulation video. What a smart software.
As I said before, if someone can help me to delete this useless app to the ground, will appreciate a lot.
