i bought the silver, come with Miui 7, will upgrade to miui tonight later . i have ordered case and screen protector and 32G micro SD from TaoBao, will ship to Msia next week, so for time being can see cant touch

i m using MIUI 8, and i notice the fingerprint does not working properly.
My understanding is you can use fingerprint to unlock/wake up device WITHOUT having to enter the pattern/password, correct?
for my case, after use fingerprint, i m prompted to enter pattern/password. how skip password input step?

your tips really works for me, after a proper finger scan the issue disappear, TQVM

i m on 16G and i feel 16G really no suffice even for APP installation, how can i move the APP(new or installed) to external SD card in order to save more space internally?

Thanks for your reply, any other alternative solution as i no familiar with root steps.

16G version really no enough, after install essential apps, i left with 3G only, so better dont buy 16G if you dont want/know to root in order to install app in external memory...

oic, thanks.

for those try to unlock the phone thru official method, do you succeed in doing so? i no so lucky, i got official permission to unlock 3 weeks ago and till now the unlocking process always stuck at 50% with error: "Сouldn`t verify device.
Current account is different from the account info on the device. "
i had read the 1st page and google it and so far no luck yet, can any expert advise?, i had done the following:
1) use same phone no login for both mi phone and MiFlashUnlock
2) enable find my device and only 1 device is active.

Hi Expert
I tried to unlock but faced error as shown in photo below, any idea to fix?

C:\Users\User\Desktop\Temp\Mi Root File>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (34360 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.082s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)
finished. total time: 1.102s

Yes, i have enabled the following from developer option menu:
1) Enable OEM unlock - on
2) USB debugging - on
anyway, thanks advance for ur reply, any more idea how to fix it?

mind to explain more on this?

no worry, tq anyway.

correct me if i m wrong: i thought my earlier step is to unlock bootloader? i dont have intention to flash twrp...
i got official permission to unlock however during the unlocking process, i faced error stuck in 50% and error said could not verify phone. i tried 2 weeks after obtained the permission, and the issue still persists. it forced me turn to unofficial unlock.
