Hi fellow bros & sis.

I dropped my xiaomi Mi Max earlier today and unfortunately created a dent to the volume button.

And now I can't control volume nor press the power button TnT

Kindly advise on how or where I can get it repair.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Try dismantle it and undent the button.
If you go to shop, i bet they will charge more than 50 dollar.

Just finished flashing LineageOS 7.1.1, no more Xiaomi bloatware. :s13:

The disadvantage is that no Xposed for Nougat, OG youtube can't access account without installing an older version + 3 apps with way too much permissions. :(

hows battery life and does gps work? xiaomi bloatware is not an issue with root can remove. I quite like the battery life on stock, up to 10h screen time over 5days

so is the phone on now?
activate the double tap (in order to on the display)
and download screen off on playstore. and place the app on home screen so that you can off the display by hitting the app.

I am still not having any sd card on my Mi Max 32GB yet.

Can brothers here kindly confirm that if I put in any brand
of either 64GB/128GB sd card, I don't have to do
any Fat32 formatting with my PC.

All I need to do is to insert it into the phone and format the
card using the phone. Next step is, can show me how
to do the formatting using the phone? Thanks. :s11:
