why did my redmi note 5 come with an unlocked bootloader
i thought you could change china ones to global rom without unlocking boot loader
im 99% sure its not refurbished
but who knows
but yeah it came in a chinese box with a global rom so maybe i got chinked
weird cause the one i got from that seller earlier this year was in a 'global' box
Some sellers buy the Chinese ones, unlock BL, flash global and sell for higher price
Check your LTE bands
For this reason, Xiaomi introduced the "waiting times" to unlock BL
Yeah chinese phones can't get on global ROM and vice versa anymore
Xiaomi stopped that in September/October
why not just sell one version supporting all bands
@androidcrawler licensing cost of bands
Like Chinese don't need LTE B20, so why would xiaomi pay to use the frequency?
paying for what?
They have to pay the license on a unit base
giving customers to netowrks?
oh hey cellular companies more customers , oh wait i have to pay you? kys
afaik as a manufacturer, you need to pay to sell chips that use certain frequencies
how fucking jewish do you have have to to charge people who give you customers
just another way what's it called
It's regulations and probably some government entity
that thing when criminals used to demand protection money
or commison from shops
hustle??
@androidcrawler extortion
The fun thing is that the global and the Chinese version have the same chips usually
And the Chinese version just has some bands disabled to save licensing money
so can you enable them?
the xiaomi wireless charger finally arrived
it's smaller than i expected
but it is an all-metal construction it has decent weight to it
who is that with sharks
cole?
@androidcrawler I don't know if it's possible and on what level they're locked
also works fine with the samsung wall adapter and supports fast charging
overally really great especially for the 15euros I got it for
i got mine for 3.8 dollars
wait 3.44
Anyone know of any good chink airpods?
