Hi.
The earpiece is behind the screen. In fact is a piezoelectric "speaker" that makes the whole screen vibrate.
Whe you put the phone in contact with your ear, you can hear everything clearly enough.
Quality-wise is not the best sounding earpiece I've ever had, but certainly not worst. So not bad solution at all.
My personal observation is the developer ROM has considerably diminished "speaker" quality over the Chinese stable. I found this from talking on the stable ROM, maybe an hour or so on multiple domestic calls (USA). I flashed the developer ROM (because, apparently I get board easily), but after a couple of calls, about 10% of that I had planed, my ears were absolutely drained from the experience and I was continually repeating myself because my caller had difficulty comprehending my words, even though they were of the everyday variety. Upon returning to the stale ROM, all was good with hearing and speaking, including several calls to the some of the same people I had conversations with on each iteration. (stable/developer/stable).
I don't have "permission" to root yet, so haven't tried the eu ROM.
This, just in case someone would like to know some of the hidden differences in the ROMs.

I got the bootloader unlock sms . I would like to ask if it expires after a certain amount of time if not used?
Does an unlocked bootloader means no OTA updates for untouched CN stable/dev ROM devices?

Yes, the unlock permission expires after a month. You can always revert back to stable MiUi whether your BL is locked or unlocked. You just gotta flash the global stable update.

Thanks for the reply! I have another one.
My unlocked device will be bound to my MIUI account somehow? If I choose to revert back to CN official stable, will my BL be locked again, and unrooted with OTA updates possible?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome always! Also, if you revert to global stable, your unlocked state will be maintained along with the granted root access. Because the bootloader and root access are core files or what you'd call as components of the phone's firmware. So, flashing MiUi won't affect the firmware files. To be honest, I've never tried it so you might be doing this at your own risk, but I had a Redmi 2 and I did exactly what I told you to do. It worked perfectly for me as the redmi 2 had an unlocked BL out of the box. But this whole 'Unlock the bootloader' thingy started from the Redmi Note 3. So just be careful while doing this.

Yes, I'll be very cautious , thus the questions. Any info on the OTA updates? I assume they won't be possible for a rooted device, after flashing the CN official stable, right?

Yeah, right. I don't have any idea about the OTA updates but I recently looked on Mi forums and saw a thread claiming a stable nougat update that'll roll over soon through the OTA. Also, Mi5, Mi Max are on the way to development of Nougat updates.

I think this is not quite right, as I read the Unlock thread on the MIUI site, you can only unlock one device per month. I didn't see anything that leads me to believe the permission itself expires. As a matter of fact @underlines shared that he obtained unlock permission a few years ago for another Xiaomi phone and that he was able to unlock other phones without needing to request permission again.

I just got the phone, this is the first non Galaxy Note and non carrier locked phone I've purchased. I'm wondering a few things.
Will I get updates?
How do I check what Rom I'm on?
What are the differences between the Roms and which one should I be on in America?

Hi there!
I previously told you that OTA's won't tamper with the firmware files, but while I was browsing out on some Mi forums, it seems that the explanation I gave is wrong ( for the locked devices). The OTA's try to relock the bootloader and may hardbrick the device. So, please be careful while doing anything because the Mi Mix doesn't come at a small price and plus it is a limited edition concept device.

Is there any chance of getting Cyanogenmod, AOSP, or any other Android variant in the future? Or is there something that prevents this, and keeps it locked into MIUI?
Hello, I wan't to flash my phone. But I don't know how to determine for which market my device was. Can I flash eu rom for if I suddenly have china version, or it may bring to a bootloop?
Does anybody knows a solution to the unlocked bootloader warning? You will get it if you flash the newest firmware. The message will be gone if you downgrade, but the RR rom works better with a newer firmware. Even flashing a new bootlogo didn't solve it.
Why should you get rid of it? It just informs if your bootloader is unlocked or not...
why not? Its just ugly and if there is a solution, than wouldn't that be great? Hope someone has a solution for this without downgrading the firmware.
Hello, sorry for OT, but if you relock bootloader it gets out of that warning ? Because in one or two days ill buy this phone and when i read this im get surprising... Thanks in advice.

It's just a warning that bootloader is unlocked and therefore your device is less secure. Nothing to worry about. Most of OEMs have bootloader unlock warnings on bootscreens. I had it even on Nexus devices.

Lol, it seems you can't read. I'm asking for a solution and not your opinion about other people's personality. Other threads like the one on falcon (moto g 1st gen) has a flashable bootlogo as a solution.
Also if someone wants to flash a nice bootlogo, you will still see the warning and not your bootlogo.
Yes you can,you need to flash stable miui rom than flash any rom you want and there will be no warning as long as you dont flash firmware zip and i think you dont need to becous xiaomi eu roms have the latest one and are the best choice i think,also when i flashed slim 7 from slim roms the warning was gone so try what you think is the best for you, I recommend xiaomi eu rom

anyone sure what was the last miui version before this Sign showed up?
i am going to sell the phone in some days,so i need it to be clean.(a red sign for 2 seconds while booting is enough to make a regular smartphone user feel "unsecured".)

I think its miui7.
Havent tried it, but i think locking the bootloader before you sell, should fix it.
What is the most reliable site to unlock the ?
currently bootloader unlock is disabled by Huawei Corp,
check xda or these sites regulary for news
http://hcu-client.com/category/news-updates/
https://chimeratool.com/en/models/huawei#q=p20+
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/news
this is my first Huawei .. I come from a samsung s8 plus, my question is there any program like "odin" for Huawei? I have seen, but everything for huawei and paid
thank you
Yeah see Roms and other kernels here in xda all. In. One flash tool is good.
But at the moment bootloader isn't unlockable. For Huawei p20 pro, so you need to. Wait a short time.
(since a month Huawei. P20. Normal was unlocked) so wait....
Of course it's possible to unlock bootloader. It's paid and quite expensive but there are at least three suppliers who offer it. Just do some searching here or in discussion section. Development is not in mature stage though.
Thank you all, I'll wait.

Sorry, Wait for what? Bootloader unlock is available for P20 Pro for quitr some time. The user above provided misleading and outdated information.

I don't think you understood what i was trying to say. Before you post anything equally "interesting" let me state something obvious. Bootloader unlock service is no longer available through official channel (read huawei official website) since . It is available thanks to third party services.
And you can easily root your device just do some searching here.

Thanks GitHub coders
Hello XDA Fam, I've come to you for help.
Before it is asked, I did search around forums/threads but I really do have a hard time navigating around this site. And from what I seen there was no answers that I needed. Currently my Moto X4 XT1900-7 which I believe is on a factory image, no longer connects to my carrier. It is able to tell me the actual carrier but that's about it. The reason why I ask is because I'm on a completely stock image that's been updated via OTA.
I believe I lost my IMEI, carrier connection ( call it what you will) and orientation ( when you rotate your phone) after flashing this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3876195.
Since then I've been lost. Please if anyone has a recent up to date fix for this I'd be very keen to hear from you.
I've heard of injecting the IMEI, and tried but some guide I followed on XDA was unclear. And I'm not even sure if it would fix anything .. So again if you have a clear up to date guide on this, I'd be very appreciative.
Thankyou for your time to read through. Any info you may need I can try and provide. I hope that I haven't upset anyone with posting this in the wrong section. Or the fact that it's been asked before. If so you could attach a link for me to follow
Which ROM are currently on? Stock or any other? Also give your device model name(eg. XT1900-2 in my case)

You can try doing -
Flashing the firmware again(stock), then try locking and unlocking the bootloader again, then, installing PE or HavocOS or any other ROM you like.
Just give it a try!
