I’m looking to buy global version as the Chinese version is terrible phone. Limited notifications, unable to change default launcher
Can anyone confirm if global version receives all notifications like normal android phone?
Also default can be changed?
Which model no to buy?
Thanks
Yes. FCM working. Au version preferred for the price.
Thanks for confirming buddy

One person has implied that global restricts notifications to 9 is that true?
Also do you have global version yourself?
Thanks

There seem to be a few variant of the ROM depending on the region. Major difference base on what everyone is saying there is that the Chinese rom is horrible and the global/UK rom is better.
Well I have a OPX China version coming this week. It was a decent deal that why i went for it instead of the other version. So how screwed am I?
Is the China version really crippled? Is there a way to at least make it similar to the global rom? I know google play need to be installed and some app needs colorOS apps need to be removed.
How about notification and ram management? And major difference compare to the global ROM? Thanks for any feed back.
People complained about not being able to add a custom launcher. But you could always use adb to remove the coloros launcher to force the device to use the custom launcher. Also, all global variants are exactly the same, there really is no distinction between them.
My GF is using chinese edition and I am using AU edition, and both of us are in US, so I think I am able to tell you something.
Chinese edition is really for China(I am a Chinese so I know it). It will be perfect in China, but a disaster anywhere else in the world. You can always install google play in the original store and also uninstall some stock software and replace the launcher with adb. But three things are hard to change:
1. The background task is limited to 5.
2. Only the white listed app can auto start, other than the app in the list, only 5 are allowed.
3. G assistant can't work well, and G feed for Nova launcher as well. You will never be able to use ok google or hey google.
And for global version. The background management is worse than what I did with Brevent. And there is no great animation when you do super vooc charge. Other things are perfect.
Oppo is working on allowing bl unlock and Wuxianlin bet her own weibo account for it, so you will be able to flash global version soon.
Thank you for the great input!
I guess the China version is really crippled
Can you change the texting app to 3rd party and/mms like textra?
Whats the point of the 8gig of ram if they won't utilize it.

I keep thinking that if someone can find the variant identifiers in the roms we can make the phone think the international or eu rom is the Chinese one and spoof it into allowing it to install.

Thanks for that very useful. If I may ask couple of questions.
Can you please confirm global version doesn’t restrict notifications? You receive notifications as any other Android phone.
Can you get notifications on lock screen?
Default launcher is easy to change

True

That’s a relief as the whole reason me for getting rid of the Chinese version and buying the global version was due to the terrible restrictions .

Hey! I'm looking into getting the Oppo Find X. I live on the UK and I realise that I can get it in Europe in France or something but it is €999 which is around £880. I did some digging and found I can import the Australian version because it's cheaper and is around £700. (Note I can only afford around £700 so please don't say just to import it from France anyway).
I would like to know if the Oppo Find X Australian version is basically the international version and if it comes with the following things...
1. Google Play Services
2. Ability to change launcher
3. If the Australian version is missing any features the Europe version has.
4. Will I receive notifications
Thank you and hope to get an Oppo Find X soon!
Hello. First, there's no really "international version" of this phone. You have Chinese version, Spanish version, french version, Australian version, etc.
They all are pretty much the same. The only one that is different is the Chinese version.
Regarding your question:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Don't think so, cause they are pretty much the same. What you will miss in all version, except Chinese version, is the navigation gestures. Oh, and the oppo change theme store. But if you're planning to use a third party launcher that won't affect you
4) Probably you will have to make some adjustments to get your notifications

Thank you so much! The navigation gestures not being there is kinda annoying but idm haha. Thank you and hopefully I can get the phone soon (going from Note 8)! Big help, thanks!
You're welcome!
I have the Chinese version and it's good. I'm very used to the navigation gestures so not having it in others version is very disappointed, but that's my opinion. And not having Spanish language is not good neither, but I use more locale and is good now.
This phone with stock Android would be the best phone ever.
Probably the worst thing about this phone is the notifications, not just having problem with receiving them, but I hate that they're not show in the status bar. You have to swipe down to see them...very annoying.
I'm using Australian version 128gb with vooc. I have both gestures, and theme store. We also have 256gb Super vooc and Lamborghini. I can't comment on them.
Is the Xiaomi Mi 10, and Mi 10 Pro, capable of call recording?
I'd like to know if call recording: is available out of the box as standard or if call recording is available via rooting the device (if rooting is even possible?)
I'm in the UK and hoping to purchase the Mi 10 Pro (although no call recording would be a deal breaker) . I'm pretty certain any UK, or EU variant, will have call recording disabled, so I'm more interested in the global and Asian versions (although any phone must have all bandwidth ranges, so probably global is best?)
Thanks in advance
Oliver
Ps please don't make this into a debate about the legalities of call recording. There's already loads of threads about that and it isn't helpful to me. I just want to know if and how.
Xiaomi is now pre-installing the Google Phone app on phones sold in Europe: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-pre-install-google-phone-messages-global-european-phones/
The Google Phone app currently lacks call recording capabilities, but this functionality is in the process of being added: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-phone-app-call-recording-hands-on/
As far as I know all Chinese version Roms ( the only ones available atm) have call recording by default. (This is not xiaomi exclusive).
I am making a purchase and I asked about this I was reassured that it is available.

Are you buying a Chinese version or a global/different version?

As far as I know the global version is not out yet. I don't want global version, I don't really use google. I just need GMAIL otherwise it simply doesn't matter.
Thanks for the upvote.

I was, perhaps incorrectly, under the impression that the Chinese version doesn't have all the bandwidths. So it could have issue connecting to 5g in the EU?
Anyway once your phone arrives I'd be interested to know if you're able to record calls? Please keep us updated

I have a one plus 7 pro and the only reason I have it rooted is for call recording. But I asked couple of times to make sure. It's very normal for phones meant for China to have call recording.

Recording phone calls is possible on the chinese version of the Mi 10 out of the box.
I already unlocked the bootloader and flashed the Xiaomi.EU ROM.
Now I have my native language (german) and it's still possible to record phone calls without a problem

Thanks a lot for the feedback, it's good to know the can recording works on the EU rom.
I suspect all the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro varieties should also be able to record calls.
I'm waiting for the Mi 10 Pro global version, with rumoured release date of 27th March.
Looks like an amazing phone, and a big improvement in my aging (but trusty) LG G6.
Thanks again,
Oliver

You're welcome!
But you know, with the global version you won't be able to record calls.
You will also have to unlock the bootloader and flash some Custom ROM.

I understand I won't to able to record out of the box, but I. Believe my own call recorder app by Skvalex will work (hopefully without rooting)?
Apparently the Chinese version is missing a band that is used for 4g in the UK, and I've heard it can have issue with contactless payments and Netflix (but I don't know much about this)
Storage location of recorded calls
My Mi10 is Indian version.I have enabled Beta version of Google Dialer.Now the Call Recording works.But I cannot find out where these recorded files are stored.So anybody please advise me where I have to look for these recorded files.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying with the beta version of Google dialer call recording is enabled? That's great news if so.
You should hopefully be able to find the recordings in a file manager by searching for the latest files immediately after recording a call?

Call recording is enabled in Beta version.The recording button in dialer screen is active in the dialer screen.When a call is active you can opt for recording by pressing this button.But I can't see recorded file with the use of a File Explorer.That's why I am asking this question.
Hi all,
I live in Canada and I have been using Xiaomi phone for the past 5 years. I was very happy with it. I decided to upgrade and got myself new Xiaomi Mi11i Global version. To my surprise the Native phone app doesn't record calls and it was missing native sms. everything on it is Google. I don't want my sms or any other message to go through google. Is there any way to get the older native phone and sms/mms apps back? The OS is MIUI 12.0.3.0 (RKKMIXM) Android version 11 RKQ1.201112.002
Afaik, Xiaomi only available on China and India Miui. I would recommend Xiaomi.eu for the best experience.

I bought chinese version, not indian.
While I know it is not exactly what you asked - I have just switched Vivo's launcher (which is good) to Microsoft's Launcher. It works very good and looks pretty good IMHO. It just annoyed me so much that Vivo's "smart launcher" is Chinese only.
(Badges are possible there)
