      HELP PLEASE!!!
      I bought a Mi 9 SE (China ROM) last year and am beginning to regret it because of issues with Google Play. Before the latest Update to MIUI 12.5.4, I used a Google Installer APK to access Google Play. Now, the APK no longer works and I'm trying to find a new easy solution. Any suggestions?

P30 is considerable alternative if you want cheapest, but overall better device than Mi 9 SE.

                I have this phone for two years know. It's such a great device. I wish Xiaomi or any other brand would produce a worthy successor with the same formfactor. As much as I'd like to update the device because of the SOC which is becoming dated and for getting a higher refresh rate, there are absolutly no oportunities. Zenfone 8 is overpriced and has a bad camera and the S21 is much more expensive and also comes with an Exynos chip in Europe which is a joke imo. So I'll stick with what I've got for the moment.

                  The I tried to fix the problem by installing custom ROM, long story short, it didn't work.
                  Then I had a thought about the firmware (my phone became problematic since the newest firmware 12.5.0 update), maybe the firmware is the culprit. I flashed the EU latest firmware AND EU ROM (you will need both) to replace the latest GLOBAL firmware and ROM.

                  And now the problem is gone.

                      My phone has several faults. If the other party doesn’t pick up within 8 seconds, it hangs up. It also hangs up automatically after exactly 15 mins. I also get no sound from any Bluetooth earphones/headphones even though it says they are fully connected. As well, most calls are garbled as the other party can’t hear what I’m saying. The phone also can’t seem to handle Android 11. It’s laggy and the screen stutters when scrolling. I finally gave up with it and bought an iPhone 12 mini.

                        Sad story here.
                        After the last update to Android 11 (I think?) the phone became heating up like a kettle. It had passed after a while. Yesterday I was watching a show in my bed on All 4 app (it was Malcom In The Middle, if interested) before going to sleep when my phone suddenly froze and none of the system buttons would work, so I pushed the switch button to shut it down and then back up, but it never awoke. Since then it's been a brick. I took the back lid off (took me good 20 minutes with my wife's hairdryer) just to discover that the battery and all seemed ok. The screen was ok as well because after the update the booting process was concluded by the sound so I would hear it if the phone booted up with no display working.
                        So now it's dead and I think this time I will order something else but Xiaomi.

                        The bottom line - I think the update was killing my phone for a couple of months until it breathed its last byte on my hands.

                          This is such a great phone because of the compact size and near flagship specs. If only Xiaomi didn't kill this line ;(

                            A good phone indeed, small and light. Using this for almost two years but only recently the phone reboot by itself, and sometimes turned off on its own. Even after factory reset, still having the same issue. Anyone encountered this before, or know how to solve this?

                              what a shame, this is not flagship phone... Do not discard memory card slot and earphone jack or people won't buy it!!!
