Have you tried using the search within the settings menu and looking for region?

I can change the region. Changing it allows me to open the themes app and see more available themes, but it doesn't make any difference to opening mi account in settings (and you can't download any more themes if you aren't connected to a mi account).

Anyone recommend tempered glass for the phone

eggy81 · 15-11-2018 8:05pm

Howdy. I'm out of contract shortly on an s7 will be looking to change phone and steer clear of Bill pay on the next one. The s7 is showing it's age battery wise at this stage though really it's been a great fone. Probably the best smartfone I've had yet.
So I'm looking at the pocof1 and the one plus 6t and wondering which one should I go for coming from the s7. Are they both a step up from it or would I be underwhelmed. The oneplus is a gorgeous looking fone I think and seems to have a very high spec but at a higher cost and the poco just seems incredible value and still has it's 3.5 Jack intact.

Any experienced advice would be appreciated

I got this one from Ferilinso on Amazon (https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GTLRKQ7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Only negative was the black border effect is a little heavy for my liking but it was and still is spotless and scratch free, no complaints.

I swapped my s7 for the Poco last month and am seriously impressed. Battery is fantastic and is a decent step up performance wise.

Got a decent price from CEX on the old s7 too (€160) with a battery that barely lasted half a day.

So what is the story with notifications guys? (icons at the top of the screen)

I think i read on Reddit that they will be added soon or has it happened already?

Thinking about buying the phone

Ok sounds like it would suit me down to the ground. If I buy off Amazon do I need to be careful as to which version of it ie region or is 8t by default the right model for Europe.

Seem to have gotten the WhatsApp and messaging app to show a notification led.
A case I ordered from China arrived this morning.

I must say it feels fairly good.
Looks like it could survive a drop!
Not bad for €2

Took 3 weeks to arrive, and great for the money.

Went ahead and ordered the 128 gb steel blue version off Amazon. Should be here Wednesday.
Looking forward to seeing what it can do now.

ouxbbkqtswdfaw · 18-11-2018 12:09pm

Has anyone had bluetooth connectivity issues with this phone? The connection to my garmin watch comes and goes whereas with my last phone (oneplus 3) it was rock solid. Maybe overly judicious battery saving? Although I think I've turned that off.

Ye it's a great case. Dropped a few times and the phone still surviving ðŸ˜‹
Bought a leather flip one and another case from AliExpress to try out.

I was having some problems but after I updated to MIUI it seemed to fix them. If the watch requires an application to be kept alive at all times I would advise going into recents menu, then log pressing the app and select the lock beside it.

Not sure if it's of interest to anyone here but I got mine (128GB version) for 337 euro (316 + delivery). Ordered on a Thursday, got it the next afternoon. Honorbuy....never used them before but very impressed with the speed of delivery.
