Question Missing NFC on Mi Note 11, is it missing hardware or disabled software? - Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the NFC working on my Mi Note 11?
I'm in Australia and have gone from a Mi 9 with NFC to a Mi Note 11 which seemed to have it in the advertised specs, but after some googling, and seeing a little asterisk next to the NFC label saying that NFC compatibility was "*dep. on the region", I'm left with a phone that doesn't have any NFC menu in the OS at all.
Is it something that can be fixed by flashing a different firmware, or is there some kind of hardware limitation with my specific model?
Full specs attached

Quick look on your version shows that you have 13.0.6 SGCMIXM
13.0.6: MIUI 13
S: You are on Android 13
GC: You are on the non-NFC model. My RN11 with NFC is GK
MI: Global ROM
XM: Xiaomi

Your model is the non-NFC version

How does the third-party app know the phone is on 5G?

(My very first post, very sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question.)
I am trying to write an app to support 5G-specific function, but cannot figure out how to detect the phone is on a 5G network. Android Q added a new network type, NETWORK_TYPE_NR, but it is not available in Android Pie. The just-released Samsung S10 5G is running in Android Pie yet has fully supported 5G function. It also has a 5G icon to indicate whether the phone is on 5G or not.
So how does it do that? Is it possible for the third party-app to know whether the phone is on 5G or not?
Any help (or tip, hint et al) is appreciated! I looked at the Android open source code but there is no mention on 5G on the Pie branch.

How to upgrade firmware for S10 5G G977N when not in Korea?

I got a new in box S10 5G that seems unlocked but can't seem to make voice calls with Rakuten Mobile in Japan. I'd seen other Japanese users have such issue with other Android devices and could resolve it by activating VoLTE but no such options seems to exist on the S10 5G as I have it. The current firmware on it is April 2019 but it won't seem to upgrade to the latest automatically. Suspect it is because the box says LG U+ which is a Korean carrier and the updates normally come from there. Is this some sort of region lock issue that I need get a U+ SIM in making the calls for the first 5 mins? Have never rooted a phone before so apologies and bash if necessary, but if I use something like Odin, will that unlock VoLTE options if I update to the latest version and will is disable other features and delete the factory installed apps? Many thanks for any advice and guidance.

NFC not working In Redmi Note 9

NFC not working and I can't find anywhere to enable it(not even in settings).

Do you mean REDMI NOTE 7 or REDMI NOTE 9 ?

Are you totally sure your Redmi note 9 has NFC? Some versions don't
Whether or not, you can test it by doing the following (you'll need an NFC tag or NFC equipped bank card etc)
Settings > About Phone > All Specs > tap Kernel Version four times
This opens up CIT
On my phone (model number M2003J15SG) item 31 in CIT is NFC Test
Tap that and follow the instructions
If your phone doesn't register the tag either:
a) your phone doesn't have NFC (likely if this were the case, CIT wouldn't have given you the option to test it though)
b) your tag isn't working
c) your phone's NFC isn't working
For info, I just turned my NFC off and tested that the phone doesn't recognize an NFC tag. Opened CIT and tested it and it recognized the tag - so it seems CIT will test the hardware, even if software is disabling it
If it still won't work, post back with your model number and I'll check if it is supposed to have NFC

Yeah but there is a problem that i can't turn on nfc (I have the button but it instant turn itself off) so while checking i just get message "Please turn on the NFC function". And I have exacly same model as you so I'm sure it has got NFC function
Hi @Grimer_
I have the exact same problem with my Note 9. I have used NFC on this phone for a couple of years without an issue but it recently and suddenly stopped working (possibly after the MIUI 13 update but not entirely sure about it). It seems that NFC turns itself on and off continuously from the drag-down panel but it has actually never worked since. I have tried all sorts of suggestions from blogs etc but nothing worked, I even reached out to the Xiaomi team through the feedback channel app but they stopped replying. If anyone has any idea how to fix the bug I'd be happy to try it, thanks!

Can't install GCam and Can't block hotspot connections on redmi 9C.

I have recently purchased Redmi 9 in India (known as 9C worldwide). Facing some issues and asking for solutions as a new member here:
1. Since this model (M2006C3MII) has a basic 13 mp camera, I am trying to install GCam. Camera2Api seems to have been enabled. I have enabled all the settings, still facing "App not installed" problem. Have tried with 5 different GCam apk files.
2. My previous redmi mobile (3S) has the option to view and block the devices connected to the mobile's hotspot. This redmi 9C seems to not have this option! (it's running on MIUI 12.0.12)
3. I bought the 9C having MIUI 12.0.10. I can't remember distinctly, but it seems this version had the option to keep the internet connection active on sim 1 while I was having a phone call on sim 2. Now that I have updated to 12.0.12, whenever I get a call on the 2nd sim, the net connection on sim 1 is halted. Correct me if I am wrong here.
Please enlighten me with the above issues!

Question Why Zenfone 8/9 has call recording in EU, when another devices not?

Hey
I always must install lineage on my devices, beacouse each smartphone who available in eu, has disabled call recording, according with eu law.
I see that my teammate, has asus phone, which eu market, and this device has enabled call recording.
My idea is asus sell very small number of zenfone, and all phones are from global distribution.
What do you think about it xda user? Asus always have call recording enabled in next Android version?
There is an EU market version of Zenfone 8, it has FM radio removed
