Question anyone have the Mix Fold 2 already? where is the mix fold 2 forum?

[knives of ice]

[AndroPlus]

Looking forward to having a forum too!

I received MIX Fold 2, the lightweight and thin body is awesome.
I think this is the best foldable phone ever.

Vivo X Fold vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Hey guys, It appears that Vivo and SamEsung have a new threat on the horizon... The Xiomi Mix Fold 2! Thinner, ligher, having better spec than the X fold, almost same size screens as the X Fold... And let's face it, Xiaomi has a better software...

Got it like a week ago (UK)! Very impressed!

 

[carrieta17]

I have had mine for a week, agree best foldable to date.. Has anyone rooted yet ? other than mild annoyance with delayed notifications despite the regular setting changes in place in my home security and outlook all is perfect. Notifications only come in once I unlock the phone... No issues with google messages or whatsapp

I rooted.

These may fix delayed notifications:

Disable "Sleep mode" in battery settings
Disable "Suspend execution for cached apps" in developer options
Disable powerkeeper (Most people including me can disable it safely, but somehow few people got bootloop so take backup)
Install Global ROM-ify Magisk module

[MAGISK] Add languages to MIUI CN - Enables Google Location History & Nearby Share

I want to use the original MIUI Chinese version as it is, so I created a Magisk module to add the languages! The translation is extracted from MIUI Global ROM for Xiaomi 11T Pro. This module also enables Google Location History & Nearby Share...

Is there a global rom for this phone? Do you need to root to install that? On my phone it does not say Global by MIUI version or anywhere, Im on stable Miui Fold 13.1.16. Any advantages to the Global rom? Thanks

There's no Global rom, and likely won't. There haven't been any announcements or rumours about brining this phone to the Global market. I'm hoping it does. Maybe if enough people import the Chinese model, they will bring the Mix Fold 3 to the Global market.

You can keep an eye on Xiaomi.eu to see if they develop a global rom for it, but as of right now they said they have no plans on developing one. If they do end up developing one, you will need root access to install.

Are you in the US? What carrier are you running? People I know are running T-Mobile on 5g without editing settings but my 5g does not stick and nothing I do in settings doesn't help (it isn't location either, 5g is right where I live)

 

[Glesi2323]

Anyone in the US who has this phone, did you mess with any settings to get 5g? I know there's some people on TMobile that are getting 5g out the box with no settings update but with my T-Mobile sim, it resorts to LTE/LTE+ even though I have 5g preferred and all 5g switches on.

Can you please share your rooting method? I am not a novice when it comes to rooting. Custom recovery etc, but finding it hard to locate a proper guide, or custom recovery. Did you use Magisk for patched boot.img method? TWRP or OrangeFox custom recovery.

Any help or pointing in the right direction would be really helpful!

yes, I got my fold yesterday and I'm going insane with no gmail notifications if screen is off. can you please post the guide on how to root?

 

[adwinp]

You don't need to uninstall the powerkeeper; turning off sleep mode in the battery saver scenarios should help.

I also posted a short while ago a method to enable the use of any 3rd party launcher.

I just used patching method.
It's the only recommended method by Magisk developer, so forget about TWRP method.

I am in the same boat... Let's hope it's fixed in a later update.

 

[knives of ice]

oh no... i did this:

Disable powerkeeper by adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.powerkeeper

and now i'm in an endless bootloop. i really need help

if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I've wasted so many hours now already since this happened. Damn near ready to cry our of frustration after importing this device to the USA and only having it for two days.

My device is not unlocked which from what I read means I'm screwed.

I can get into fastboot but that is it. My device is recognized by miflash but I think I can't flash anything because my bootloader is locked.

I keep searching, reading and trying things but my knowledge is not great. I can't get out of this bootloop or flash anything with miflash

oh man this is so bad, and I got rid of my fold also and don't have another phone.

Have you tried booting into recovery and doing a factory reset? You would lose your data but I'd imagine it would reset any package changes you made allowing the phone to boot again (I haven't actually tested this nor do I even know if there is a recovery as I haven't tried to boot into it)
