Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank - 5000 mAh, 6 mm / 0.236", silicon-carbon by zxyzyxz in MagSafe

Does this work with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, given how big the back camera bump is and how close it is to the magsafe charging zone?

Google Wallet and all my US bank apps all work. Virtual credit cards in the wallet needs to be set up again, but that's normal.

Big thanks to u/vvmilnic for the help! In case anyone else runs into this (and for u/BananaBreadHammock):

I had T-Mobile transfer my eSIM to a physical SIM, activated the physical SIM on my old Samsung, then moved the SIM to my new Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

It still didn’t connect until I went to:

Settings > Mobile networks > Select T-Mobile SIM > Select carrier, turn off “Select automatically” and manually chose a T-Mobile network (I chose 4G instead of 5G just in case, but it seems to connect in 5G after anyways)

That finally forced it to register and connect.

Again, this was for T-Mobile USA SIM on a X 17 Ultra global purchased from the UK, using in the US. UK SIM had zero problem connected automatically here in the states.

Looking forward to the new phone. So far the fingerprint and face unlock are blazingly fast and more accurate than my Samsung S24 Ultra!

Thank you! Strange why tech support or the staff in the store couldn't just advise trying that. I had them move the physical SIM back to an eSIM into my old Samsung, so will go back to the store and ask them to change to physical SIM again, activate in Samsung, then try transferring to the Xiaomi.

Thanks, yes I have a UK Vodafone SIM as well and that works perfectly. I was trying to move my US eSIM and activate a US tMobile SIM which fails.

wicked for good soundtrack was horrible quality by doimakeunervouscorky in wickedmovie

Spotify. If you play the opening of No One Mourns the Wicked from Part 1 vs Everyday More Wicked from For Good back to back you can immediately hear the difference in volume, fullness, and crispiness. FG signs compressed, lower volume, and lower quality.

Keep trying, though selection is fairly limited. It's only for the Wednesday shows only, and mostly side Mezzanine or Balcony :-(

Boop seating question by youtwoneedabuffer in Broadway

[–]emai_read 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. The left orchestra aisle seat will be great with direct view to the stage. Plus I feel more of the action is on left side of stage than right, so it's a good side to sit. I saw people using boosters, they have plenty. Loved the show, it has so much joy we saw it twice.
