Anyone experiencing an issue with certain apps not updating through Google play store on this device? I haven't been able to update Chrome in weeks - just fails - and there's no solution in sight on Miui forums or elsewhere.

Another issue I'm experiencing is the device will randomly not charge, until it's rebooted.

Haven't had any of those problems, Android 10 update released today for non pro maybe that will help?

Anyone had trouble with ghost touches? After googling it seems to be not uncommon.. have mine a few months from Honorbuy and it has become borderline unusable at times.. extremely frustrating

Amazon.es is not safe

After being so excited for the phone, this is what arrived

Anyone ever had a similar experience or have any advice?

Yep, everything was taken. There's a distinct scratch down the side of the box so we reckon the person used a box cutter

I would get onto Amazon. I had stuff that I thought got lost in delivery before and they shipped it again no questions asked.

I found the original package in work a couple of months later!

They're usually very good when it comes to these sort of things in fairness, the extra wait is going to be frustrating while it all gets sorted all the same. I got in touch with them over the webchat and seemingly I have to contact them again in 72 working hours and they should have a verdict then on whether I'll get a replacement or refund. I wonder was it an employee that did this and if they'll get away with it

Thanks, I'll make sure to keep everyone posted. There were no dockets or invoices in the package too, so I'm somebody hasn't taken off with my name, phone number and address

Just on that subject, I've got a fair few purchases from Amazon UK since just before Xmas including Hitachi drills, camera, phone cases, lights for the bike and all shipped by Amazon Prime and there has been no invoices or order details inside the boxes.
Just name and address on the outside packaging.

As FYI, I experienced with the 9T compared to the 4X of before, that the screen scratches far easier. I had the 4X in my pocket with keys and no issues, the 9T has quite a lot of mini scratches on it.

is it just the plastic protective film that sometimes comes on the screen?

Just an update on my situation, UPS have collected the package. Amazon.es are requesting an official letter from the Gardai before processing the refund. Before giving the letter, the Gardai are carrying out an investigstion and I have to give a statement tonight. Still no new phone..

I have ordered a Redmi Note 8 Pro phone today from Honorbuy.

Can I expect the charger to have a IRE/UK plug on it or should I get a separate converter.

Thanks in advance.

It will be an EU plug.

Got my 9t pro 8gb/256 a week ago after much arseholery from eglobal. Out of the blue they emailed to ask would I take a blue one after saying for ages none were in stock and they didn't know if the red would be back again. So took the blue.

Very happy with it. Glad I held out and didn't cancel.

Happy with the regular 9t here - I haven't noticed any lag, so the pro is clearly aptly named.

Couple of slightly annoying things, after a fortnight's use (running miui, debloated, thanks to the poster who shared the debloat tool);
- the position of the notification light renders it useless
- the 'Cell Standby' process is using a lot of battery, to the point of being the biggest consumer - saw a post describing how to change the settings so it's not looking for Chinese cell towers, and it seems to have improved a bit so far.

Cheap adaptor I got with 9T Pro from eglobal is dodgy!

Can anyone recommend a 3 pin powerblock to replace the Xiaomi one? Needs to fast charge etc.

The one I quoted just above your message. Uses the original EU charger in a sturdy adapter.
I's a bit bulky, but works fine.

Got my standard 9t last week and just getting around to setting it up. It's my first Xiaomi so will need to adjust to MIUI(although i will use another launcher) but i have an update sitting there to upgrade to 11.0.3 but from reading i presume this is the update that causes the massive battery drain on standby(the tip above may help this a bit).

I also see that there has been a 11.0.4 update issued so i suppose what i'm asking is are most of ye on the 11.0.4 update and has this resolved any previous issues?

Tazzimus · 04-02-2020 10:34AM

I'm on 11.0.3.0 and the battery lasts just shy of 2 days

BamesJond · 04-02-2020 10:30PM

Hi folks,

Would appreciate some input. My Mi Max gave up recently. I'm looking at the 9t or maybe the 9t pro. With normal us (i.e, no gaming) is there any noticeable difference?
Is there any other Xiaomi phones I should look at that people feel are an option? Looking for a larger screen.

I'll have a look at Honorbuy & Amazon but what's the quickest option at the moment?

Is there a way to force these updates? I'm on 11.0.1 (on a 9T Pro) and it says there are no updates available.
