I can get you a link to manually download. Use a download manager
OTA From 11.0.11.0 - 12.0.1

https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.1.0.QJWMIXM/miui-blockota-curtana_global-V11.0.11.0.QJWMIXM-V12.0.1.0.QJWMIXM-baa3f3fd11-10.0.zip

How to manually update..

Go to Settings > About phone > System update.

If tapping the 3-dot button shows the “Choose update package” option, click on that and choose the downloaded ROM from your internal storage or SD card. In case you don’t find the “Choose update package” option from the 3-dot menu, tap on the MIUI 11 logo inside the “System update” page several times. A prompt will then show that additional updater settings are now available. Now you can tap on Choose update package and select the MIUI 11/12 update file

That’s it. The system will start decrypting the file and install it automatically for you. Wait for it to finish the process, which may take 10-30 mins

Data should be on during the decryption process

This worked, I didn't receive the update prompt and it still worked for me

This is inconsequential cause no phone company will give a phone a good processor with with 6 to 12gb ram a mediocre RAM type so this doesn't count. Unless you're willing to give me an example of course

genius43:
You can try. Are you on version 11.0.11.0?

I am not giving any assurances o.

I'm on the latest update. Mehn it's like I'll wait to get it officially, MB To waste no dey

Faithful4real:
Depending on the type of ram bro.

Explain what you mean sir

Can I do this manual update even though I didn't receive anupdate prompt ?

FrankLampard:
I don't think this is completely true.

1. Number one item on refresh rate might be 50% true, depending on the type of users that will be using the phone, but since you make emphasis on ladies on your post I presumed most ladies won't be playing high-end games.

2. Number two on RAM. if you are a high-end gamer, please don't listen to her advise. A normal 4GB RAM phone, cannot play most games on play store very well and yes since your post mentioned ladies I presume they won't be playing a lot of high-end games.

3. Finally, the world is moving 4K content display. YouTube recently enabled uploading of videos in 8K. PlayStation has advised gamers to go and buy a TV that has more refresh rate and higher resolution because the PS5 console won't be seamless on a TV that is not 4K upwards or a TV that has a refresh rate of 60Hz and lower

Your number 2 isn't correct, I used to use the 4gb variant to the realme 5 pro with an SD 712 processor and I played high end games seamlessly on it. You can say that it wouldn't hold on to apps in the background especially the high end games like a 6gb ram or higher device would.

jaiyejina:
. E shock u too abi?

As in eehh

theFilmtric:
I use a blackberry curve 3
So I obviously can't
All smartphones can do it
You just need an app


theFilmtricsay

Well we don't need an app for ours. Even if you use an external app to do that I don't believe that it'll be able to integrate the font into everything you do with your phone

Tiger2020:
Pls guys, between umidigi a7 Pro and redmi 9c which is better?
NB it's for a woman, she is on a tight budget

Get her the A7 pro

theFilmtric:
All phones can do that bro


theFilmtricsay

Do it with your phone and post screenshot

organism3:
pls how do I get a phone shipped to Nigeria from aliexpress using all dis FedEx and d likes

While buying a product you check the shipping options, if FedEx and the likes are available you use them

theFilmtric:
Those ones are the most popular
And I am not roping anything

Besides I like your font!

theFilmtricsay

The font is another thing that makes xiaomi so great, allows you tweak your phone to your taste. Right now I'm using two different themes simultaneously

theFilmtric:
I never called any Xiaomi user idiot!

You see this was the insecurity I was talking about!

Xiaomi users seem to be very insecure.

Since Xiaomi users claim to use the “best” value for money devices
That's their choice sir
I try as much as possible to be fair in my judgement
But you are obviously a seller
““I've resold a few phones that I got good deals on, I can't be exactly categorised as a seller””
Good deals indeed
How many good deals did you get in august and september sir?

theFilmtricsay

Don't know what you'll call this

What you call insecurity is actually people that have used subpar transsion devices in the past trying to advice others to not make the same mistake. A number of the xiaomi users sometimes let their emotions or bias cloud their reasoning, this doesn't mean that you should rope everyone into a certain category

theoneJabulani:
this is a bad battery? Just go and buy trailer battery.

The day I saw it I was confused eehh. He keeps mentioning his old infinix as if we've not all used infinix devices in the past

theFilmtric:
If you say so
But I would like you too re-read my posts,think
Then if you still have objections
That's obviously your problem

PS:I looked up your topics,They look like you are a Xiaomi seller(correct me if I am wrong).

theFilmtricsay

Do you agree that calling xiaomi users idiots because of their views is certainly irrational ?

I've resold a few phones that I got good deals on, I can't be exactly categorised as a seller

Godfrey858:
you of course
ur iphone is not factory unlocked
and has issue with the camera

I'm not the one selling sir I just wanted to understand whether it's the same s7 I know that you're offering

Exumal:
The way all this xiaomi fans flood here ehn I just shook my head. Someone saying sd 439 is better than mtkp23 in gaming Now in see why people will continue to bash you guys.

One person gave a wrong information and you've ignored all the other good advices by others and used that one inference to come to a wrong conclusion

Godfrey858:
clean samsung s7
dual sim
4gig ram
32 gig rom
clean

add 15k

Who is adding money ? I'm confused

theFilmtric:
I love your observance
I have been a guest on Nairaland for 3 years now
And I have seen a lot of irregularities about the Transsion-Xiaomi war
And I would like to make things right to the best of my ability
You would have also observed that I try as muchh as possible to be un-biased and rational.
Please don't take anything I say as a yardstick for judgement
Make your research

theFilmtricsay

There's nothing rational about calling xiaomi users idiots and you are far from unbiased.

[quote author=Blankstare post=95330550][/quote]You're on the latest update, what about your system apps especially the Google dialer like I mentioned earlier ? If you do that update you'll get the call recording feature.

Try to go to the xiaomi compilation thread if you haven't and perform the tweaks written there that can improve your battery performance.

theFilmtric:
I like you
You are very reasonable
I thought you were part of those Xiaomidiots

I am sorry

theFilmtricsay

I've seen a number of your replies recently and it seems like you just created this your. Account with Xiaomi in mind cause the way you keep jumping into every thread trying to have arguments with people saying good things about xiaomi is confusing and almost creepy

tafat:
strong point, personally i misss the TECNO phantom series

Lol, this one wants to spoil things
What's a Tecno phantom series ?

Blankstare:
I didn't receive any update notifications so far

Send a screen shot of the about page of your phone

Lovepeacetrust:
And what if the phone is a year old does it stop it from being fully functional??

There are always reviews about the store you're buying from on eBay, you can always check.

And please check jumia again, I still checked it just now and it's about 84k.

Anyways whatever rocks your boat sir

I still can't find the mi, what name is it under ? lemme search for it

Blankstare:
Maybe he's not lying, I got a note 8 three months ago. The following is what I don't like

.poor call log

.no call recording

. very poor battery, only last 6-7hrs under average usage

The poor battery makes me wanna sell it anytime

Update your phone and Google dialer app bro, the call recording function has been available for some time now.

The update might also improve your battery performance.

Go to xiaomi compilation thread and check some settings that can improve your battery.

Your call log problem might be down to personal choice cause I'm okay with mine.

N.B. the call recording feature was initially removed cause EU accused the Chinese of using it to spy on them and gave them an ultimatum to either remove it or they won't be able to sell phones over there.

Lovepeacetrust:
Brother man like I said if you know where to look you'd get the mi mix 2s for about the same price as the note 9S, the new one sells for about 84k on jumia although it's shipped from abroad, so you're gonna have to pay for shipping..

Trust me if you look well on eBay, you'd get a very clean looking and very well functional mi mix 2S for a cheaper price even if it's used

Bro my argument was never about it looking clean, somebody can manage a phone well for a year that doesn't stop the phone from being a year old.

The last time I saw the Mi mix 2s on jumia it was almost 100k for the 6/64 variant; I'll obviously not buy a 64gb vairant of a phone that doesn't have an m.card slot.

I hope you understand that on eBay you're dealing with individuals that want to sell off their products so you can't really be sure of the state of the phone

Elxandre:
I'm always baffled.
LG V50 and LG G8 are just last year devices but you could get them for practically the same price as midrange Xiaomis and the likes.

These phones are monsters but people don't even see them, they just want the newest shiniest hardware even when it matters not much.
Android since Android 9 has very little in terms of improvement and you'd hardly notice you aren't on the latest Android.

Its funny because we buy intel core i7 6th generation processor computers happily but when it comes to mobiles, we complain about a year old device.

I don't where you buy your own devices but the v50 is still expensive AF. You might even see people selling a V50 with crack on its screen at more than 120k

Lovepeacetrust:
the way most of you carry software updates ehn, some people don't know what they do sef, they just want to have the latest android OS, please and please the SD 835, 845, kirin 970 can very much play high end games on high settings, make your findings sir.. the Lg v20, G6, G7, v30, v40 offer wide angle lens even without that that's not a solid reason to neglect them over the newer ones

And bro the SD on the essential phone is very much on par with the 720G on the note 9S, if you must know the 835 outperforms the 720G on gaming performance, the 720G only edges out a little in cpu performance and battery consumption.

If you know where to look the Lg v40 is crazy cheap, and the mi mix 2S is about the same price with the note 9S.

When you say their prices are about the same you're referring to second hand devices that might have been used for up to 2 years and might have gone through some repairs not forgetting that the battery would probably be in bad shape, that's really not worth risking 100k on.
