already got spotify premium la diu. I am asking if anyway to salvage the situation now. Wife not happy cos need to pay to use, can't force her since i cant read mandarin and she will be the one to do all the registration and payment, takan i force her to do what she doesnt want to do.

Tmall genie is easier cos can use voice command ask for random cina song. If link with spotify u need to take out phone, connect the bluetooth then tekan playlist. so ma fan. And it will tether to the phone so cannot browse jewtube while listening to songs.

i brought xiaomi fan, dehumidifier, neck massage all can use without problem just press the on button and it work flawlessly.
who say u must connect to china server in order to use most of the devices?

unless if the product require apps to work like xiaomi smart switch, then ofcoz u must connect to china server lo to register the product.

just change the country of your xiaomi account and register it. u can use anywhere u want.

thats why i say some, not all devices. some "dumb" devices that dont require app to use, you can use it anywhere.

as for changing the server, can be quite troublesome. for example, i have mixture of device from china and international. i can't use the manage both devices at the same time because of the location setting.

i also have a device (non-xiaomi) that can work without the app, but with app you'll get more features. but in order to use the app, you need to register with a chinese phone number.

most android phone can dual apps. xiaomi come with their UI to have dual apps.

1 in china 1 in msia problem solve. i have 40+ devices in china server and a few in msia.

i also install xiai voice command apk in my phone so can command my devices.

i have xiaomi bluetooth speaker that can play music but random songs. specific songs that require subs only can play for 1 min.

xiaomi ride with qq music which i have no why to register using msia sim

Ya, wife said the same thing. Install this n that end up also have to pay.

wasted, it's a good speaker. Now become decoration.

The only solution i can think of is to pair it with old phone side by side. But i lose the voice command function, and for chinese songs i cannot read/write so very mafan if pair with spotify. sighhhh...
