Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I really enjoy it.
You only just found out?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002069 has been around over a month touting the beta.
We've just had Christmas also... In case you missed it.
I did say I just got an email right, otherwise no, I don't comb the internet for Tapatalk news.

They want more money!!!!
But I think it's cause it's a different layout. It's like the older SwiftKey. You had to buy separate versions. But now they have it all in one which I like.

I'm pretty sure your not allowed to promote paid apps on xda.

I think the OP is more or less sharing the details of the sale. But i don't like the new tapatalk since i can't view my own started threads.

No LTE?

Looks like the Xiaomi Mi Max doesn't support LTE in the US:

Nope it doesn't
You'll get HSPA

Yup, I'm in the US and only get 3G/HSPA+

Ulver - is that on T-Mo - what area - and how live-able are the speeds? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Unless you are in downtown big city you wont fill the difference. My job is 24/7 on the road all over US using Straight Talk ATT and LTE or 3G makes no difference for me. LTE is sooo overrated in US...
Yes. LTE is over rated OTOH we're also getting used to that. I have T-Mo and I have been in busy situations - such as fairs - where there's a lot of people - Nexus 6P is not doing too well there despite LTE - the calls and the texts are just crawling at that time.

The selling points of this device - namely updates and size were the reasons I'd go without LTE on this.

Yeah, I'm on T-Mobile. Speeds are fine. Sometimes I get crappy coverage if I'm in a building where my 6P would get full LTE bars.
Sent from my MI MAX using Tapatalk
I think LTE future-proofs the phone, at least until 5G arrives. Not just data but also voice and text will be shifted to 4G.
As often as I change phones, I probably shouldn't worry, tho
LOL true if I wasn't changing devices so often.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Phone with these specs for under $300... Who cares about LTE in some unknown future.
absolutely - i agree.
I would also encourage interested people to look at the you tube presentation of MIUI 8 this thing is awesome with or without LTE. Hence I bit the bullet - Please do not order from gearbest - my order was 7/5/19 and I am still waiting. Try finding a US seller.

I got my Mi4c from Gearbest. I even chose expedited shipping and it still took 2 weeks to get to me here in the US. Also, it came with an unofficial MIUI ROM they put on it.
I bought my Mi Max from ibuygou.com. Chose DHL shipping, got it in 3 days, and came with untouched MIUI software. Ibuygou is the way to go.

Ulver - that kinda sucks if Gearbest is putting on unofficial ROMs.
My understanding is there's a Chinese version and an international version. I am not clear if these can be flashed using some tool.
What did you do with this situation? What are you currently running?

I first used the China Dev ROM and installed Google Play/Google services myself. Then I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and installed xiaomi.eu ROM. Then when the MIUI 8 global ROM was announced I used fastboot and Mi Flash to install it. I think I'll stay on the Global ROM for now.

Luv that plan
Is there a place to read up on fast boot and mi flash?

Did they ship it via International Bridge?
Sent from my MI MAX using Tapatalk
Better news the device should be delivered by Monday - the 18th.
I Checked the MIUI website - It appears the Global ROM is 32 - the Device I've ordered is 64 - I wonder if 32 can be flashed on the 64, Let's see what gearbest has shipped.
GearBest is also tracking me across various websites now They're fast in that - Tho I did not pay extra for shipping so cannot blame them for the slow shipping.

From what I read you can't flash the 32gb/650 ROM on the 64gb/652 device.

Adblocker

Any adblocker without root?
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I use adguard, I think it's 10 bucks a year and doesn't require root. It just filters everything though a local VPN it sets up on your phone. It works real well for me.

Blokada is free.
Thanks, I was looking for something for my tablet but didn't want to pay for another $10 fee. I will check out Blokada.
