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).

I did this too and got rid of google music & movies too
also installed Nova as launcher, makes it feel a lot more like stock android im used to

not banggood but gearbest selling thr 128gb pro for €335 with coupon GBM9TPRO4. Word of warning though re gearbest .... I ordered the non pro version of the 9t a few weeks ago and following a week was informed that it was out of stock. Took 2 weeks for refund to be processed. I then ordered from geekbuying and after a week was informed that it was out of stock - refund processed the following day.

Have since ordered from banggood and it was shipped the following day - €272 incl delivery

Sorry it was likely the 64GB I was looking at. See here

Does it take an sd card to give more space?

Timmaay · 31-10-2019 12:24PM

Got mine just over 3wks after ordering. Overall its not quite as good as my old mate20 pro, slightly more lag, camera slower etc, however for less than half the price I can absolutely live with that. I knew that it ships with a slightly slower fast charge block, however I thought I could just use my mate20 block which can support 27w, however turns out that this 27w is only at a higher voltage that the 9t doesn't support, so I was only getting 2amps at 5v using it. The 2pin block that is sent in the box comes with a terrible 3 pin adaptor, it charges at 3amps, anyone got a replacement 3 pin block that will charge the 9t at the full 27w yet, and from where?

Unfortunately no SD card slot

Does anyone else have terrible issues with the proximity sensor on the 9T?

When I am on calls my face launches apps, switches back and forth between speakerphone and Mike or worse still activates the camera and starts requesting video from the other side?

I also find sliders on videos (e.g. VLC and YouTube) to be totally unresponsive

And the keyboard is awful too, always undocking itself and always making poor spell check decisions for me

Anyone else HATE their 9T??

I had the exact same proximity sensor issue with my last phone the xiaomi mi 1A but not with this

do you know you can install and use different keyboards ? or is it happening with them all? I like to use Googles own G-Board

Maybe though you should try & get a refund or exchange for a new model ??

Would shipping it to parcel motel save on the customs?

Ben Done · 02-11-2019 06:14AM

Thanks to the contributors of this thread for the great info.

Decided to order the 9T 128gb off amazon.es - Came to €317 delivered

Honorbuy are out of stock on the 128, and would have been dearer with postage anyway - prefer to have the Amazon backup in any case, as it's about the upper limit of what I'd pay for a phone.

Couldn't justify stretching to the 9T Pro - don't think I need the extra power (not a gamer).

Will update once I unlock the bootloader, root it, and install a custom rom (likely Pixel Experience, but would be grateful for any feedback from anyone running a custom rom).

I got the the 11 update early last week for my 9T , my 2nd 9T not seeing the update .

Wquirke1234 · 03-11-2019 11:39AM

Looking to buy the Mi9T Pro but have just one concern re notifications...

Notifications? Do they stay on the status bar until read? Are alerts highlighted over the app and do appear on lock screen.

I have the Pocophone but the whole notification issue is a little annoying.

I am very sure you can set this up in the settings

I had to turn this feature on on my 9 lite, but it seems they stay there until read now. and you have to set the battery saver for each app you want to no restrictions to allow all notifications.

I seem to have some sort of adware / malware. Are there any apps people recommend to clean that? Phone came from Amazon so may have visited a dodgy site

Those who purchased from Eglobal, how long did it take?
I know they take time, but some terrible web reviews.

Bought my phone there back in july. ordered on tuesday, delivered 9 days later.
Quite a few colleagues of me bought there before me and where happy enough as well.
3 months after you buy, you get daily emails from them that are annoying and cant unscribe from but they stop after 2 weeks.
So there are little annoyances but for the prices there, easy to live with.

That being said, after i received my phone i found out that amazon.de had the same phone for just a few €'s more. probably would have gone there if i had known before. Cant beat amazon CS if things go wrong

Mine never came. Got "lost" in DPD in Athlone and eglobal refused to refund me / send another phone. Got my money back through Visa chargeback after 3 months. Would buy elsewhere, if possible. I didn't get insurance but based on how hard they are to contact wouldn't be sure if you'd get your money back through that either.

I ordered on the 7th of October, got onto them on the 13th as it had gone out of stock and there was no updates. Got the dispatching soon email on the 15th, dispatched from Hong Kong on the 17th and was delivered on the 21st.

Hi all,

I'm thinking about buying the 9T Pro from https://www.xiaomi.ie for €415.

Two questions I'd appreciate answers to before I go ahead and pull the trigger:-

1. Is https://www.xiaomi.ie a good site to buy from or should i but from eCentral / GeekBuyers or similar?

2. Does the 9T Pro actually have NFC which facilitates Google Pay?

Really appreciate your response so I can make an informed decision.

My 9T (albeit not Pro) has NFC and I use Google Pay with it.
