EEA ROM Question... Privacy and ad features out of region? - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

If I flash the EEA ROM whenever it comes out and set my region outside of the EEA, will I still get the extra protections regarding internet privacy and advertising?

I flashed EEA MIUI 11 and set my region to the UK. Everything seems fine except the weather app doesn't show current location weather even though it is set up to use location.

My device is Redmi note 5 Ai (global) and currently using RR rom. previously, i was using Havoc-OS and several roms. GPS was working perfectly while I was in Official MIUI rom. So, i cant use Google Map, Uber or any other Tracker app. Please Help.

Mi Max 3 not receiving SMS from short numbers

Phone doesn't receive 2fa messages, bank codes, etc.
What I've tried:
- checking sms center number
- disabling MIUI optimizations
- changing settings of messaging app (disabling block list, enabling miui sms)
- disabling volte
- reflashing global 10.0.2.0 miui via fastboot with full wipe
This is chinese phone with unlocked bootloader which came with global 10.0.1.0 miui.
I was able to fix this on another Mi Max 3 with chinese 8.8.9 ROM by disabling MIUI optimizations if I remember correctly, but it doesn't work on this one...
Any idea how to fix this?

Their apps are garbage. Use Textra.
I've tried another SMS app, but it doesn't help
have u tried put sim card to second slot? for me phone shows incorrect info, 2ns slot is 1st sim, 1st slot is 2nd sim, on all global ROMs, since MIUI 9. so, maybe changing slot for a while may help. I wish you success

If their apps are garbage then their rom is garbage, which I agree btw

Agreed, which is why we're eagerly awaiting custom rom development . People said Pie sources are leaked for Miui? Any info on your end?
switching sim slots also doesn't help(

MIUI 11.0.3 - Location not working "Searching for GPS". Anyone having the same issue?

MIUI 11.0.3 - Location not working "Searching for GPS". Anyone having the same issue?
Software: MIUI 11.0.3 - Chinese ROM
No matter what app (That uses location) I use endlessly searches for GPS. I've done everything from disabling battery saving mode to factory resetting my phone (Didn't go back to MIUI 10, it erased all my data but stayed on MIUI 11.0.3).
I'm out of options. It's crucial for my work that the GPS works. If anyone has any solutions you would be a life saver.
Please anyone that's experiencing the same thing let me know.
I have the exact same problem. Only baidu maps work. Did you or anyone else find a solution to this?

I've tried everything you can think of and nothing worked, besides flashing a custom rom. From my experience only the Chinese miui has this issue, the global version and eea work fine. I also flashed other custom ROMs like cdroid and pixel experience and they worked fine too. Basically flash another rom to solve the issue.
I use Mi9 SE in China. All Chinese apps have GPS. I put on it all of Google things. Google Maps has GPS.
Outside China Chinese apps have GPS. From the world apps ONLY Waze can use GPS location. This is the same since MIUI 9. Now I have MIUI 11 on Android 10. So, I will buy another phone. Definitely NOT Xiaomi.

Question More Google Services needed...

The baked-in Google services work mostly,, but two weak spots are left:
1. I didn't get Google maps work with the Mi Fit app in Germany - it just doesn't display the map. However, it tracks the run even if it says in the beginning that the GPS signal is weak..
2. The German Corona Warn App doesn't connect to the corresponding Google services with the error message:
com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 17: API: Nearby.EXPOSURE_NOTIFICATION_API is not available on this device. Connection failed with: ConnectionResult{statusCode=UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE(39501), resolution=null, message=null}
com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 17: API: Nearby.EXPOSURE_NOTIFICATION_API is not available on this device. Connection failed with: ConnectionResult{statusCode=UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE(39501), resolution=null, message=null}

Any hints would be welcome!
Otherwise, the Fold works great!
Do you have global rom or Chinese rom?
I have the Chinese ROM. Does a Global ROM exist at all?
Thanks!
Officially not yet, but my phone came unlocked with global rom how I don't know, I removed it because no OTA and fastbooted latest Chinese rom. then I installed latest play store apk, google is almost perfect except android auto.

Hello.
First, thank you.
How to go back to OxygenOS? If users don't like or have some issue.
Does it matter if routed or not ?
I saw that Color OS 12 have "Rise phone to ear to answer a call". This is great.
Does it do Wipe? I'm on crappy Beta 2, hoping they fixed some critical flaws...
No. Instalation is like upgrade, not wipeing your data. Photo, music, docs still in the phone.
I've watch the video.
Installed update everything works pretty good didn't notice any issues yet. Google play all here.
Do you still get annoying VoWifi permanent notification and does anyone is using Work profiles (I'm not able to even change password in he work profile...) ? Also my phone is rebooting randomly when connected via BT in the car in combination with Android Auto and mobile connection is extremely unstable, I hope they have fixed it otherwise I'm probably going to throw this mobile away :-( This is valid for Beta 2 btw.
Stable version of ColorOS Android 12? Wait, what does this mean for OOS 12, development is stopped for OOS and we are to move to ColorOS if we want A12?

I can't extract the boot.img for root, do you have it?
I don't understand people saying that Color OS C36 Stable is running fine for them. For me, so far I got following issues :
- the default DPI 360 is too low for me, changing to 420 DPI is much better but it get reset after restart
- you can't configure to launch camera using double Power button press, now it's Volume UP/DOWN
- Developer settings is getting "disabled" after reboot (and settings are reset) to prevent 'phone to be unstable'
- by default MOBILE DATA are set to be Always enabled (can be turned off in Developers settings)
- I can't force to have same PIN/Password for Work profile - it doesn't stay enabled
- Google and other apps are frequently loosing permissions, eg. to even access contacts (doesn't matter if Permission monitoring is disabled or not)
- Android Auto doesn't work for me and it anyway asks when connecting always to choose connecting method (why????)
- phone is full of Chinese crap (not all aps can be removed while I believe during update they will anyway install back)
- phone is also heavily integrated with some Chinese Cloud solution - HeyTap Cloud and some of their Chinese payment method
- Nova Google Companion doesn't work anymore, didn't have time to take a look on it yet
The good thing - annoying VoWifi notification is gone (was present in the OxygenOS Open Beta).
So, I will for sure switch back to OxygenOS (aparently I'm going to loose ALL User data?) BUT I don't understand one thing.
Are we getting OxygenOS final 12, or it's ColorOS 12 as final version ? (yes I know about merging yet I don't get the Beta 12 OxygenOS stuff).
Thank you.

why dont you try reset device from recovery
The camera app have xPan mode ?
It is very stable, VERY nice, but as someone mentioned before, with default language as Amerikin English, I get a lot of apps that default to chinese. I am still trying to get my oneplus health watch to pair today. Overall, I want to see this brought to America, but, more globalized.
Thank you OP for letting me check this out! Testing Android Auto soon.

Bruh. Also, I turn off VoWifi since it causes a constant wakelock. VoLTE is good enough for me.
I did a local upgrade from ob 2
It works fine for me. I uninstall chinese bloatware.
Bluetooth works fine for me. I test my bone connector headphones and my smart watch.
It's Beautifull that i can uninstall google BS !!!
I love the gesture that i miss on Oxygen OS, "Rise phone to answer a call" . There is more on Color OS "Rise phone to make a call"
