Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

[SuperDecker]

Anyone buying / bought the pen? What's the best deal to purchase it?

I don't need the pen but I was looking for third party pens and keyboards on Taobao lol, plenty of them. You can have a look on Taobao if you looking for third party ones

I got a Pad 5 Pro, both from Shopee.. Everything works great, Google services etc. Just cannot Netflix HD even though it has widevine L1..
Where did you see that beta rom can solve this bro??

I was researching on this issue, some people sideload a "modified" Netflix apk on their China set and can play full HD on Netflix.

Yeah, I sideloaded a modified Netflix app on my pad 5 pro, it works but it's an old version.. Cannot double tap to jump.. And not sure when Netflix will try to ban all these modified apps.
It's srsly dumb that they would advertise the tablet as dolby vision ready.. But didnt even go get certified with netflix..
But I guess that's on me though.. Been using Samsung too long and forgot about all these xiaomi problems.

China set for Ipad 5 or Ipad 5 Pro? What I knew from user of Ipad 5 China set, directly download from Google Play Store also can......

Do you dare to flash 开发版/内测版/beta ROM? Some claim can play Netflix L1?

I am very tempted...I used to own a Mi6 and have been flashing weekly beta roms.

But now, I am using the pad for work as well, not sure if the beta rom and unlocked bootloader will play well with Outlook and intune.

You know if can reverse beta rom back to stable and relock the bootloader in case it cocks up>?

I few years not flashing after move to Huawei. Lol..... I think shall be able to reverse back to stable etc Do backup for first few attempts before familiarize the whole process. Study one more round from youtube who show the whole process again in case.

Remember..... flash at own risk but have fun.... Lol

I think when upgrading using the recovery ROM (zips) do not require unlocking. Only need to unlock bootloader for fastboot ROMs to roll back to a previous/stable version. relocking should be possible thereafter.

Yeah.. Maybe over the weekend when I am free.. Will update how it goes..

Btw, anyone with the the Global Pad 5 can update if Netflix is working with FHD and HDR? -- or maybe even Dolby vision??

If confirm can play Netflix in HD on Mi Pad 5 Pro, i dont mind trying. But who said this works? You have a link?

Seriously contemplating buying the Mi Pad 5 Pro although i already ordered the Global version Pad 5.

Saw people mentioned in FB only. Hard to find more info in Xiaomi China forum because not many use Netflix. Beta Rom users are limited too. I think soon or later will have since hardware wise already Widevine L1 support.

When is your global pad 5 coming? Let me know if it plays HD Netflix.

I got the patched Netflix version on my pad 5 pro now, it works but the version is older.

Don't mind discussing a trade.. Let's see how..

I've read elsewhere that Xiaomi has some Bluetooth authentication check, so cannot use third party pen..
