    Yes, very, BUT some ( mainstream for Ireland ) apps still have not been updated to work with Oreo. Not the fault of the phone, of course.


    If there are any apps that you rely on then check that they work on Oreo.

    You can download it from that link?

    http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.1.0.OEIMIFH/miui_HMNote5HMNote5ProGlobal_V10.0.1.0.OEIMIFH_98721c9743_8.1.zip

    But if your worried about ARB, probably better to wait for someone to provide a safe version.

    My phone suddenly developed an issue, took a photo 2 days ago no issue, went to take one this morning it's saying sd card is full (couldn't be 128gig card only got the phone 2 months ago). Haven't installed anything on the phone only spotify aa it was running very slowly after last update (I'd no songs downloaded onto card)

    So I went in unmounted it (no problem) , then took out the card made sure all looked ok,put it back in, rebooted and went to mount it and now it's saying "couldn't safely eject SanDisk sd card"

    Don't suppose anyone has had this problem and fixed it? I'd rather not have to format it but if I do I do :-(

    From googling this seems to be a problem with others, am sorry I didn't reboot before unmounting, might have worked :-(

    Any hints/tips welcome

    Could it be the SD card and not the phone?
    Did you buy it off a reputable seller like Amazon, or off eBay (suspect!)?

    Quick update for anyone waiting for MIUI 10.
    Been using stable 10.0 it for exactly a week now.
    Everything is rock solid. No issues and no random reboots.

    Not the card, I was able to put it into a card reader after I posted that above, least I've saved my pics

    I'll try formatting it and see what happens. But it looks like I'm not alone in this issue :-(

    Hopefully that sorts it for you then.

    I'm using a Sandisk 128gb myself, no issues here.

    That's what I have too, phone has definitely not been as stable since the last miui update (unrooted)

    Mi remote?
    Use it for the TV's.
    Saves me from looking for the real remote which I can never find with the kids !

    BTW it's not included in newer MIUI ROM releases.
    You need to download it from the play store.

    Whats the brand? There looks to be hundreds in there.

    Select brand, then follow onscreen directions to test for connectivity

    Some brands are listed but the test doesn't work.

    I find that the range isn't the best, and I have to be careful to aim it directly at the TV's

    Have you tried it standing close to the TV just to be sure ?

    Yes. I think it's just my unusual choice of hardware :)

    Anyone know of the best price around for the 4/64 version?

    Also need a wallet cover for one of them if anyone has spotted one can you post a link please.
    Thanks.

    Your best best would be to check the main suppliers at the start of this thread for up-to-date prices.

    You could mail them and ask if they can give you their best price (discounted) if you're buying 4 phones

    Hi again,

    Looking for as slim as possible case that will protect phone from falls. My current one broke at top and bottom section.

    Thanks,

    @dinneenp Use an alternative proper file-manager apk (e.g. Solid Explorer).

    Which case broke on you?

    Updated to MIUI 10 and I must say I preferred 9. Don't like the new drop down box for notifications. All gone very like IOS.
