Xiaomi Mi 9T

Subcomandante Marcos

Mine arrived delivered from eglobal via skynet and their Irish agents Aerly Bird Transglobal based in the airport business park in santry. Was due last Friday but didn't arrive till Monday.

Finally got around to setting it up yesterday evening. Searched for updates straight away and I'm on MIUI 11 now.

Installed Poco launcher because I wanted the app drawer instead of everything on my home screen.

Very happy so far. Need to get used to the gestures still but that will become second nature eventually.

Only downside is the European power plug and flimsy adapter they provide, but I can fix that cheap enough. Any QuickCharge 3 compatible charger should do the job.

I got an Anker plug for herselfs Mi9 SE, does the job nicely.
Did you go for the Pro after or the normal 9T?

Mine is on the way so what's the deal with the plug? id rather have one on the way with the phone than wait until the phone arrives

Went normal. 260 on eglobal so I didn't see the value for the upgrade for the sake of 70+ euros. I won't be gaming etc so this should be perfect for me.

Depends of where you buy it seems. Mine shipped with a European plug and a small cheap euro to UK adapter.
Might be worth just picking up an 18w quick charge 3 compatible brick if you're fussy.

This is the one I got for her phone

I'll probably be looking at the Pro around Christmas, so need to look for a 27w charger

Mine came today but not opening it until Xmas

Does it really matter if you go fast charger plug instead of the standard plug.

Most of the Chinese phone shops have them and plenty on done deal and adverts.

Makes a huge difference in charge times to be fair.

I wonder does fast charging shorten the overall lifespan of the battery, though?

I debloated mine using the ADB/Fastboot tool (here). It works the same as on Pocophone and doesn't require root or unlocked bootloader (just developer options turned on).

For some reason I cannot get this to work. The ADB/fastboot tool just crashes before the phone is detected with this version and with newer versions I get an instant fatal error message.
Debugging turned on, java updated, followed all the steps. Cannot figure out what's going wrong.

Aren't there additional drivers required to be installed?

Installed the universal ADB drivers too.

Did you download the zip, and not the jar, from here?
I have Java 8 update 231 (64 bit) as well, if that helps.
I don't know what else could be wrong. Does the fatal error message have an error code?

Just noticed that the version I have installed is 6.7.4, maybe the new one is bugged?

I isntalled the JAR? should I try the zip?

Says "Error: Can't Find ADB/Fastboot".


Worked with the version in the zip!

Whoop.

Any tips on which apps to avoid removing?

tnegun

Any one having an issue with apps loosing network connectivity after they're resumed from standby? Spotify works fine when launched but if I stop playing switch to another app and switch back it has "No Internet Connection" displayed at the bottom and only reconnects after being full closed and reopened, have a couple of other apps doing the same too.

They all have backgound data enabled and I've disabled Miui Optimizations in Developer mode but guessing I'm missing something!

Does the same thing on my Redmi 7, but only with spotify

Andrea B.

Just a caveat on where to purchase, in case warranty becomes an immediate issue..
There seems to be a higher potential for problems wrt mobile network connectivity.
Noticed mine was not connecting, and followed some settings solutions

https://c.mi.com/thread-2314305-1-0.html

I think for me it is resolved, but for some they have had to replace phone.
Was not looking forward to a warranty issue with Eglobal.

Just got a security update miui 10.3.3 on the 9T Pro, not Android 10 yet...

Harika

Had the issue twice that after charging the phone would drain the battery like crazy and only a reboot would resolve it.

Same here.

Also had a strange network connection issue this morning, it was showing as having 4G but no data was getting through. For some reason the fix was to change my Vodafone data profile to vodafone.live instead of my other one...

This also happen to me on a Poco f1.be carefull if your plan charges you for hotspot as the update sets your APN to hotspot and will take all your credit.

I removed everything in the attached pic a few weeks ago and have had no problems since:


I left in the Package Installer, Xiaomi Sim Activate Service and Xiaomi Service Framework apps, as from googling around it seems like they might be necessary. You can probably remove all the google apps too (I only removed Chrome), but maybe google if the Google App itself, or any of the com.android apps, are necessary before you remove them.

Think I have this fixed Settings -> Wifi -> Additional Settings -> Traffic Mode -> Off seems to have done it or at least I haven't had the issue in the last 48hours since switching it off.

Hi.
Is there any instructions how to carry out this? Completely clueless but fast learner.
Thanks

Is there much of difference with xiaomi mi 9 lite? It's a present for Google Facebook and taking photos is all its needed for

b.gud

Looking to get one of these as an Xmas present for herself and just wondering is eglobal still the best/cheapest place to get it from? I see it's currently €266 for the black 64/6 GB version, link below.

Any better deals out there that ship from Europe?

From web reviews seems to be a small chance of quality issues with the phone. It is a great price from Eglobal, but from reviews I read, forget about returns if there is a phone problem.
I went Eglobal, seems to be lowest price and no problems.

Stg257 on amazon UK.

Would this be an upgrade on the Huawei Mate 10 Pro or should I stick to what I have

Thanks

The pro would be with the 855 processor, but to be honest the mate 10 pro is still a decent phone.

Sorry, never saw your post. If you still need instructions:
On PC:
1. Download the appropriate zip file from here. (if you are on windows, then the file that ends with "win.zip").
2. Extract the zip.

On your phone:
3. Activate developer options (open settings, open "about phone", press on "MIUI Version" multiple times until it says you are developer).
4. Turn on Debugging mode in developer options (go back to settings, then got to "Aditional Settings" under SYSTEM & DEVICE, open developer options and then scroll down to usb debugging and turn on).
(First half of this video will help, if you can't find step 3 and 4 settings).
5. Plug your phone into your PC

On you PC.
6. Open the extracted folder from earlier and run "XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar".
7. You will then see the window from my earlier pictures and can uninstall what you don't want in the uninstall tab (tick what you want rid of and click uninstall on the bottom).

Anyone running a custom rom on this yet?

Mine's ready to unlock, but haven't decided which rom to try - likely Pixel Experience..

Not yet, I'll start by removing the bloatware but I had lineage OS on my previous Mi 5 and that was fantastic. I'll give it a couple of months to allow the ROMs to become more stable. Would like to try Oxygen if that's stable by then.

I ordered the 128 gb version last night. Never used eglobal before so I'm hoping it goes well. It's some phone for the price. It's for my son. I have the mi a1 a good while now but the problem is it hasnt suffered any trouble really so far.... Can't justify upgrading my phone until it warrants it.

Give yourself a good three weeks to receive to from eglobal

Sparko

Ordered the 128GB from HonorBuy on Thursday afternoon and it arrived this morning, great service.

Just playing around with it now to set it up how I like and learn the UI differences. Will be having a good read of this thread!

Have mine a few weeks now. Well happy. Great battery life also.

MackDeToaster

Got an 8/256 recently from EGlobal in 8 days from order. Hating not being rooted, another few days left to unlock. Nice enough phone but finding it a bit too small for me and battery life isn't great but that's coming from the Mi Max 2/3.



Tbh can barely notice any difference in speed but I don't game. Also amoled isn't the big improvement I'd been hoping for (prior to the Max's I'd used the Samsung Note series from 1 up). I'll see how I like it once I can root and fully move over but right now the little screen is making me think I'll be moving it on and sticking with my Max 3 for the forseeable future.

Well you see a lot of Asian lads with big phones and they have small...

I got the update 3 days ago.

Mark Hamill

I could have sworn the update notification popped up a day or two ago on my phone (Mi 9t Pro), but I was busy and ignored it at the time. I forgot about it (and the notification is gone), but this thread reminded me and now it says I'm already on latest firmware (10.3.3).
