@hannescam What channel are you on? and what happens when you use the System Settings Update button.
-
@lakotaubp i dont have the phone yet but i looked it up and it was strange to me that it wasnt on the list thats why i asked (maybe it gets ota updates but it just not on the list)
-
@hannescam It may be that the port has only recently reached the state where it gets OTA updates.
-
@hannescam According to here it is fully supported https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/surya so I can only think it was missed of the list due to it being a veriant of another one on the list. Maybe someone else can confirm as I don't have one either.
-
@lakotaubp when i have it in about a week i will test it and if the ota updates work then would it be possible to add it to the list
-
@hannescam said in why are no ota updates for the xiaomi poco x3 nfc:
when i have it in about a week
Is the bootloader already unlocked? If not, count on another week to do that (there is a waiting time).
-
@moem i dont know but i think not (i am used to unlock samsung phones where it is just a tick to set)

Yeah, that's very different. Xiaomi devices are a bit of a pain to unlock: they require a specific tool that only runs on Windows, there is a waiting time, and you need to register with your phone number, as far as I know.
-
@moem there is also a comunity made linux and macos tool and it is called: XiaoMiTool V2 (it is even a gui)
i discoverd it when i was searching how to unlock the phone -

That is good information for those interested in getting a Xiaomi device. Thanks!
-
@moem it would be nice if there would be a disclaimer on the ubports site for the xiaomi poco x3 nfc
-
@hannescam A disclaimer saying what?
-
@moem a disclaimer saying that there is a wait time to unlock the bootloader
-
@hannescam That is a general Xiaomi thing, and I don't think it's UBports' job to warn for that.
-
@moem i can understand that but i have another question:
can i use the phone with android in the waiting period -

I don't know for sure... after all I've never even held a Xiaomi in my hands. But I don't see a reason why not. I think people generally do that.
-
@moem i will try it should arrive today or tomorrow
-
@hannescam i can use it while in the waiting period
and i i wonder if it would be possible to unlock it without waiting -
