Is Mi 8 variants parts compatible with Pro? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
Do the Mi 8 variants (Lite, Explorer, etc) parts, (like earpiece, soundspeaker, screen) compatible with Mi 8 Pro?
Got an Mi 8 Pro Transparent Titanium with the earpiece sound too low (even at max volume). IDK if it have an "root-way" to fix, but i'm looking for a new earpiece to buy. Searched sites like dragon-tt and don't find for this model in specific.
Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance!

DIsplay compatibility

Hi guys, i've broken the display on my Redmi Note 3 Pro this morning, it fell and it's all cracked. It still works and i've found someone who can replace it but i need to buy a new one, the full thing display+touchscreen. The problem is that from where i come from, Xiaomi is quite rare and the real posibility is to order it from Aliexpress, but i have to wait weeks for it. I found a local vendor that sells Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 displays, not the Pro one, but the MTK version.
My question is: Are the two versions compatible with each other? Does the Redmi Note 3 display fit and function on a Redmi Note 3 Pro smartphone?
Thanks in regard.

Earphone issues

I got my Redmi Note 5 (SD636 ) 4 days ago and noticed something strange right away. When media is playing through the speaker, let's say from Spotify or YouTube, and I connect the earphones in the jack while it's playing, the phone takes some seconds to stop the speaker and play on the earphones.
Also when I play PUBG and enable my mic in-game, the sound starts playing from the speakers. Like it ignores the earphones completely. To fix that have to remove the headphones, minimize the app, open it again and then connect it once more.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or just compatibility issues, but the earphones are fine. They are the from Samsung and I got them with my Galaxy S7. I currently don't have another pair to test.
Has anyone else delt with that? Any tips?

Sorry, I didn't know that... Everywhere it says that I have just a plain Note 5, not a Pro, but it does matches your description. Thank you.

Do I have a Mi 8 Pro or Mi 8 Explorer?

Ok. I am confused here. I bought a Mi 8 Explorer from eBay, it looked to me like the Mi 8 Explorer does - with the transparent back. I have been looking at ways to root this thing and have not found many guides for the ursa model, I guess as it is quite rare right now. I just ran DevCheck on my phone to see some of the details in preparation for rooting and it tells me that my model is the 'Mi 8 Pro equuleus'.
I saw that the next thread down in this fgorum is someone asking if they can flash one rom to another device. I am wondering, if this had been done to my device would it now show me the name to be equuleus? Could this be what is on my device but it is actually Explorer hardware. Or is it that there is also a transparent version of the Mi 8 Pro.
I went with a Xiaomi phone to try something new but there is way too much confusion for my liking with the similar/region specific devices.
Ursa and Equuleus (and even Dipper) share almost the same hardware with just a few differences.
I never tried to cross flash my Equuleus, but my guess is the Rom is not capable of telling you what the underlying hardware is.
And yes, Ursa and Equuleus probably look exact the same, so you may (or may not, IDK) have got an Equuleus instead of an Ursa.
Try to find out if your device has been bootloader unlocked. If it was not (means it is in locked state), then it has a stock Rom and was never flashed into something else.
I purchased Xiaomi Mi 8 EE which is Chinese version of Xiaomi Mi 8 pro, its simply perfect high performance phone, google installed via gapps apk
I purchased this from Argos, (in UK ) and it is the Equules variant.
Hope that helps
I also purchased mine in the U.K and it looks like it is actually the Explorer edition, the mi 8 transparent edition only comes with a Li-polymer battery, the transparent edition only uses the li-ion battery, they are both 3000ma. The explorer edition comes in 8gb ram and the transparent mi 8 pro is also 8gb ram. I think it's actually the same phone just the explorer is for the Chinese market.

I'm pretty sure though it's actually the explorer edition, if you search gearbest it comes under mi 8 pro explorer edition, uses a Li-poly battery which the mi8 pro transparent titanium doesn't, if you download the phone information app from the play store you will see, I also purchased mine from Argos in the U.K. The transparent titanium mi 8 pro uses a li-ion battery which our does not, they have maybe supplied these as the pro to meet network band specs in Europe.
Hello, I got rid of my MI 8 and got a mi mix 3

Freebuds pro 2 Compatibility

Hey Guys
So I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, purchased in the UK.
I am very interested in the Freebuds 2 Pro however as I'm sure your aware they aren't available global yet, only a Chinese version released.
I don't mind ordering the Chinese versions but I just wanted to check if there are any known compatibility issues with a non-Chinese Mate 20 Pro.
I've read about compatiblity issues with phones that do not have Bluetooth 5.0 (Mate 20 Pro does so that's ok), read about issues with the software version having to be above 171 for the HWA to work (my mate 20 pro is over this version).
Is there anything else I need to consider before I make the purchase? Is there going to be an issue with languge in some way? I know there's no display but possibly voice commands or recognition issues for the English language?
Any help would be great, I'm guessing I'm not the only one wondering on a global release date.

Hey
I do have the freebuds 2 pro and a LYA-L29 with 187 firmware.
They fit perfectly with one another.
No issues and better than with my P20 pro.
I really can recommend them.
I think the only disadvantage is the short battery life from about one hour.
But they are very quick rechargeable with its box.

Thanks Orlando, my mate 20 Pro is LYA-L09, not sure what the difference is between the LYA-L29? is it only dual sim difference? I'm running with 187 firmware too, so this is good to hear.
I assume you are located outside of China right?

Yes, it is the dual functionality only.
And also yes. Not in China ?
That is the reason why it is really difficult for me to use the companion app to update the firmware on the buds ?, but thank God there is Google Lens ?

I can't seem to get mine to pair with my P30 Pro. I press the button, white led flashes, nothing appears in the bluetooth list of devices. Any ideas?
Edit: 10 mins later they just appeared with no issue. All seems fine now!
I recently bought some Freebuds 2 Pro, So far i'm impressed with them. They work great with my UK Mate 20 Pro, and i'm on 9.0.0.210.
Audio quality is excellent, but not noticed a difference with HWA turned on.
How is call quality with freebuds 2 pro especially in noisy environments? And what is bone id anyway!

Hello, and have a good day

Hello, this will be to who may concern or know about this little issue that I have.
2 days ago I was downloading the MIUI lasted version, 12.0.2 and everything was ok until it modified my notification bar and other apps, for example I used to have the notifications from WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, and others when I received plenty all together, but now it's all extended with photos even, I want it on the old way cuz extended occupies too much space when I scroll down notifications. I will attached 2 examples on how it was and how it is, if somebody could help me I would really appreciate it, my cellphone it's a Xiaomi redmi note 9s.
Thanks a lot.
