Got my Mi Pad 3 about a week ago. anybody else gotten it so far?
loving it for the most part. volume rocker and power feel a little wobbly, and I get some random MIUI FC's, and it FC's every time I open the screen battery statistics. Anybody else getting this issue?
Hey, I got this device 5 days ago. Bought for e-book reading, but was better than I thought.

I get that FC too. Settings -> Battery -> Battery Use -> Screen, and it's over.
Side buttons are made of plastic and it's littly wobby - that's regular in middle ranged xiaomi phones anyway.
Anyway, good device. And I'm waiting for a RR Rom to flash.

A new ROM would be awesome. I'm not getting my hopes up on a Mediatek soc though lol.
Any developers declared a rom for us to flash yet? Miui is so annoyingly ugly.

no ROM yet besides china stable and developer. TWRP just appeared on the MIUI forums today though. sadly no touchscreen support as far as I can tell.
Try flashing one of the modified MIUI roms from one of the below:
Xiaomi.eu
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862720796
Multirom
https://multirom.me/index.php?m=app&a=view&id=81&app=roms
I guess we all have to wait. A lineage package would be awesome.

The only bummer is investing in the Mi Pad 3. MediaTek chipset which hasn't had any support as of yet.

Well, the nvidia and intel chipsets in former mipads have been surely resurrected, and mediatek chipsets are also popular(at least in china) and enjoy a great many optimized roms maintained by xda developers. No matter how long it takes I will be waiting.

Allow me to put the nail in the coffin here. Intel Atom chips have only received love from KonstaT - his work on Cube Iwork8 Ultimate/Air + Chuwi tablets sporting the Atom chips e.g. - he is the main reason anything gets done for the Mi Pad 2 (check the credits )
The Nvidia chip is found in ... Shield Tablet which is still being supported and in other devices - still receiving love.
Quick search on the MT8176 chip. Couldn't find anything. And I know for a fact that KonstaT doesn't mess with MediaTek chips.
Obviously, I hope the best for the Mi Pad 3 owners, but it doesn't look too good right now. Mind you, I did suggest that you try flashing the Xiaomi.eu and/or Multirom.me's Mi Pad 3 MIUI rom. They both optimize the rom, so give it a go and tell us which is better.
Lastly, Chris from TechTablets isn't impressed and suggests the Mi Pad 2 and Ifive Mini 4S over the Mi Pad 3.

Why don't you join us on telegram group of MiPad 1
Since you have a MiPad 1 it will be useful for you also,
Here's the link https://t.me/mipad1
Hi, although I'm not expecting much development (if any) for this tablet and I know it won't be a hit in sales, I find it most interesting. Those specs are just fine for my needs.
Plus, Xiaomi has proven a brand with very high quality products and which you can trust (I've had a couple of phones, the 12.5" laptop and some other stuff from them and I love them).
So I couldn't resist and I have just ordered one. As long as there is Miui and it gets a couple of update, it's fine for me.
Anyway if any developer is motivated for some cooked roms, I'm sure a few of us will appreciate!

MAC address changes after wakeup from Wifi standby
I just received my MiPad 3 this weekend - a nice first impression regarding appearance and haptics,
BUT, I recognized that every time the Wifi wakes up from standby again, the MiPad comes up with a different MAC address! Not after reboot (observed on different MediaTek devices, e.g. Cubot X9), but on any Wifi reconnect after standby it reconnects with strange MAC addresses beginning with 00:00:00:aa:bb:cc - while in the "about the Phone" still the original MAC address is stated.
It seemes that this behaviour had been an issue for the MiPad 2 as well:

VERY disappointing at all!
Waiting for Wifi issue
I just got my Mi Pad 3 and it is installed with the China ROM 8.2.8.0(NCICNEB). I installed play store into it and it was working fine until play store got updated. Now it prompt need to update Play store and indicate waiting for Wifi. Anyone know how to solve this?

Have you flashed that ROM on a Mi Pad 3? Does it possibly give U.S. as a region in settings?

Ask at the xiaomi.eu forum or try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whenair.language&hl=en.
I don't own a Mi Pad 3 and never will. I have flashed xiaomi.eu roms before on two devices - all worked great.

I tried to register as a user at xiaomi.eu and kept getting an error message that my attempt to register was rejected because it "resembled automated or spam-like behavior. Please contact the administrator for further information or assistance." I tried 8 or 9 times before giving up. At any rate, I did download TWRP for the Mi Pad 3 and installed it. I then flashed the custom "weekly" room from 5-26 and all is good. It sort of took care of the region issue as settings no longer shows China.
Would really like to contribute at that site, but if it's that difficult to register - forget it. But thanks for the link. ?
Looking at this tablet and its exactly the size and specs I want, but can't find anything on actually rooting it and getting a custom recovery.
Does anyone have any experience with this tablet and know if such a thing is possible?
HI
I am also looking to root this tablet.All methods tried do not work on this tablet
I thought the same thing. Figured for the price I could just get it and tinker. Ended up getting the Z8 and later Z8s. Neither of which have a working root solution, which is sad because there's not really anything comparable spec wise on the Android side. I had to get an iPad mini 4 with cellular and jailbreak it.
I want to hookup custom hardware (SPI device) to this phone. How do I get a schematic for the phone to figure out which pins/ports are used/hooked up to what sensors (so I can replace one or more of them)??? I've searched on Google and found schematics for other Xiaomi phones but not this one (or the Xiaomi Mi 5X which I believe is the same hardware just different software (Android One)
Not sure if I just stumbled upon what your looking for but .....
Xiaomi Mi 5X (xiaomi-tiffany) - postmarketOS

So we're almost at mid 2021 and after a whole year I saw my mi watch collecting dust and I was wondering if there's already a way to get the global version running on the chinese device. Or at least install google play. Lately google's been useless af and can't seem to find anything new about this at all.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm never buying cheap tech again tho. Its 2021, no longer worth cheaping out.

For real, I decided on buying this device “before” the release of the global rom and as a result one year later I still have a Chinese watch
I've got the same problem. All apps and add-ons are Chinese. Although the watch is really nice, battery holds great, there is an English language available but still. Global ROM would be VERY appreciated. If anybody knows of it's existanance please let me know. Thank you.
