I just got a Mix 2 in China and got the google play store installed from the Mi App Store. Everything works fine except for Netflix...
Whenever I try t load the app, I get "Device Failure" or "The app needs to be restarted" errors.
I have tried clearing the cache and re-installing the app, but nothing changes...
Anyone else see this issue before? Does it have something to do with getting the phone in China or is it possibly just an issue with the current MIUI and Netflix versions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Yeah, I got the same issue with the Chinese ROM. I suspect it is because Google Play services is not a system app, but sideloaded. Did you register your device with MIUI.com and request a bootloader unlock? Go do that.
In three days you can unlock and load up MIUI EU ROM or EpicROM that will have Goole Play and safetynet preinstalled. You might also want to install Magisk to hide the unlocked bootloader.
Same
Having the same issue here, waiting for the 72hrs to pass so that I can flash the EU rom
Didn't Netflix announce recently they would block unlocked phones?

Follow those guides.
I might write up some simplified instructions in the next couple of days, but that should handle what you need to do.
I don't have that problem with EU rom.
This seems to be an issue with the Chinese ROM but I had been able to fix it by sideloading an April version of the Netflix app from APKMirror.
Youtube TV doesn't work either.
I got the same problem with chinese rom, i've installed Xiaomi .eu 7.9.22 rom and it works fine now.

yes it is fixed with the april release of the netflix apk...! thanks dude !
Thanks for the replies! I side-loaded an older version of the Netflix app and I can at least watch now, but downloading is not working...
I tried to flash the global rom and made a mistake with using the MI Mix 1 rom, so my phone is totally bricked now... Looking into options for recovery...
Hi everyone! I just got the mi mix 2 and I´m experiencing the same problem.
I just applied for the unlock code (72h I guess?) and downloaded playstore through the mi store and then I downloaded netflix.
I got the 500.-1006 error. Did the global rom fix this issue?
Thanks
Hi there guys! Just flashed the global rom! I can´t download netflix on this rom now...on chinese it appeared to download.
It is because of the unlocked bootloader?

Ok just got my new Moto z2 force, and it has the Sep 2017 security update.. Now all I want to do is root and debloat my phone (Ssprint). Should I update to the latest before unlocking the booloader, or just go a head.. Thanks

I would go ahead with the update and then unlock the bootloader and install TWRP + Root.

Security Patches coming all 60 days, rigth? So, next one after mai patch is the 07/2018 patch, which should come next month. Maybe with 8.1?

Nice. @Uzephi has a kernel for stock ROMs and one for AOSP based ROMs. I have used the stock ROM kernel with good results and zero issues. Good luck and happy flashing!!

Sure, but I see some problems by using of custom roms on my other phone (Z Play), so I prefer to get official updates without unlocking the bootloader for my newer Z2 Force. Second reason is the guarantee for manufacturer issues. And I need the Z2 Force for watching videos like netflix and co, so safety net needed. SD 835 can content play in HD from netflix, so important thing. On Z Play I can see the pixels (just Full HD), but on Z2 Force it's perfect. Much better, you can't see pixels anymore. That's perfect to play movies. Many people try to explain that we can't see the difference, but I see it. VR an Co is all better now. And I hope that we get 3 years Security Updates. It's an expensive business phone for 800€, so we should get updates for long time.

I am rooted with Magisk V16.0 on the stock ROM right now and I have never had an issue with passing SafetyNet. Passes every time. All my apps work too including Netflix. No issues with the Play Store not allowing me to download apps by saying the app is not compatible with my device.

I have no issues as well with downloading any apps from Play Store.. Only quesiton, when installing a new kernel. Is it like on other phones, wipe cache before flashing the kernel? I don't want to screw up a FREE PHONE from Sprint. LOL

You can book YouTube Premium(europe). Then you get support for background playback. That's new, calls YouTube Red, too. Maybe that helps.
Edit: VivisClone, you was faster with your answer, just few seconds. But yes, that's the way.
Anyone know how to install Xposed on this deivce.. I tried the new sdk26 v90 beta which is all they had for Oreo 8.0 but made in Jan 27 2018. It ended in a fail..

You can use the YouTube Vanced edition that is available as an apk or get it from Magisk. It allows background playback and ad blocking plus some other settings that the stock YouTube app doesn't have like forced Codecs and Max resolution override as well as a few themed editions. It's the only version of YouTube I will use. There is even a version available for non-rooted devices that still gives the same options.

I just use telegram pop out and I get background and screen off play without root.
I can't get my phone to update. Every time I try, it says "Software update unsuccessful" and under that says "Sorry, there was a problem updating your Moto Z2. No changes were made."
I keep getting the popup on unlock to update, but have to go to "remind me later" every time since it wont successfully update. I'm trying to update security update 1 May-2018. And software version OCXS27.109-48-6

It won't update if you're rooted/twrp or have modified the system in any way.
I have recently updated my operating system to the latest stable by Xiaomi EU (by updated, I mean I have wiped and fresh installed the latest one).
All is well however the official Google Maps app is "not compatible with your device" now in the Play Store.
All other apps install just fine along with some other Google apps I use like Translate.
Does anyone know why this has happened?
I have also wiped and fresh installed previous versions of the Xiaomi EU builds in an effort to get this working but no luck.....Weird because it no longer works on builds it HAS previously worked on..
Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance for any feedback.

It seems a Google bug affecting chiron. Just change device's fingerprints. I choose Pixel 2, but you can use Mi Mix 2s, as you wish. You should be able to update or install Google Maps.

Kinda unfortunate about the bug, means no matter what ROM we use it's gonna be the same. Hopefully they fix soon.

I just checked the play store and the bug seems to be fixed!
If you still have the issue, download a build.prop editor and change the device's build.prop file.
You'll need to change the parts which state the model of the phone for example "device name: chiron"
By changing this to something like "Polaris" (Mix 2s) instead of "chiron" it will trick Google.
Edit: You will need to be rooted. And I recommend BuildProp Editor by JRummy Apps
It's solved!

Right now, 9.3.28 (beta) but this was a Google issue, not a ROM issue.
Hello everyone
I think I found a temporary solution for the "OK Google" feature issue in google assistant for Redmi note 8
I tested it in my phone and it's working and I'll be happy if you did the same test to tell me if it's working
what you need is a rooted phone and a file explorer that support root (or any method that will let you change a system file) , I did 2 changes is Build.prop that can be found in \system\ after reboot I went to activate the OK google option and it went enabled and working.
the changes I made were in the lines :
ro.product.model=
ro.product.brand=
in the 1st I put samsung and in the 2nd S10
I wonder if anyone can test and give me a feedback.
**I still have the MIUI Global 11.0.4 I didn't install the latest update yet**

Yesterday I UPDATED my 10T from android 10 to android 11 (MIUI 12.5 RJDINXM). Today I tried to send some files through wetransfer, but was unable to upload it. When I click upload in chrome, it gives me only three options:
Camera, Camera and Files while I have three different file explorers installed. In Files (com.google.android.documentsui) , I choose one or multiple files, click select, and nothing happens. Files UI closes and nothing starts uploading. This was working perfectly in android 10. Also, the uploads are working in Google drive from the same app.
Previously when I updated my phone to MIUI 12.1 (also android 11), I was facing the same problem. So i downgraded to android 10.
I am even not able to attach the screen-record here. So, uploaded to youtube:
Update:
I just found that I am unable to share files directly too. If I share a file from an app e.g. Josh to WhatsApp, it says file format not supported like in the following video.:

I had disabled MIUI Optimisations in Developer Settings. I did some experiments (took about 18 hours or so) and some hardwork (reset my phone twice) then re-enable it at last and it solved my problem! apparently MI did this in Android 11 so we don't disable MIUI optimisation and install external apps like Vanced.

Thank you for this tip! I hadn't thought about having MIUI optimization turned off causing the problem, switched it back on and now everything works as expected like uploading to Chrome and opening attachments in Gmail. Just a thought... from my research it seems like these are stock Android 11 problems and maybe MIUI Devs actually did mods to fix permission problems between apps?
Thanks again.

For Vanced to install you have to disable Miui optimizations but after installation you can enable them again and preserve Vanced.

After i disable my miui optimization it solved but after re enable it cause the same, what to do??
Why would you want to leave it turned on? Just install the app you want once and then turn it off. That solves the problem. Moreover, many apps nowadays have stopped asking you to disable optimizations to install. So just leave it in a position that solves the problem.
