Xiaomi Mi 9T

Subcomandante Marcos · 06-11-2019 11:20AM

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?

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.

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 · 09-11-2019 01:22PM

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

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 · 10-11-2019 07:29PM

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.
