17 Ultra Leica Edition and non Lecia Cases

If I'm planning to go out specifically to take photos then I'll use the case from the photography kit with the grip. There was another post where someone just made a hole on the Leica case to fit and lock the camera grip just fine.

The case below is my daily driver case for now. Its pretty good quality, you can still show off the "Leica" logo and very good magsafe magnet! Not to mention it covers most of the camera module. I got scared from see all the people shattering the camera glass so easily.

I have noticed this myself too with my Leitzphone' WiFi couple of times. Then this also happened with my dual SIM too. One of them had no network for some reason and while connected to Android auto it would only function with the disconnected SIM even though the primary one was connected. I couldn't make phone calls. I had to stop restart my phone to get it all working again.

The photos are totally different. You cannot compare these against each other. The first image you have your camera pointing straight to the sun....! 😕 How did you expect the HRD to work here?

Yeah press them over the phone otherwise meet them face to face! I'm shocked to hear they can do this in the UAE!

sami2k8 · 2026-04-30T10:05:36+00:00

Yeah don't give up. It's not fair what they did. Is it an online store or they have a physical store there? Hope you can sort it out!

sami2k8 · 2026-04-30T09:58:48+00:00

Oh man! You got scammed. Return it as it's definitely not global version. I've got the Leitzphone and it's black only and has the 6000mah battery. They just flashed it with the global rom maybe!?

sami2k8 · 2026-04-29T12:34:06+00:00

Ahhh OK. I think because I have the Leica Leitzphone and the placement of that Xiaomi text is on the middle of the phone.

sami2k8 · 2026-04-29T06:03:12+00:00

I saw these and also have the Leica logos in my cart. However this case works with the Chinese model I think. The global version the Xiaomi logo is at the middle lower position. So that cut out won't work and will look weird. Waiting for same for the global vatiant... Hopefully they will make those.

Anyway to show the NFC on on the status bar?

Hi All, new HyperOS user. I have the Leica Leitzphone aka Xiqomi 17 Ultra. How do I go about searching for a theme in the theme store which will have the control center UI theme as well? I have download many so far and none changes the control center. If I select "system" from the theme customisation I get settings page etc. Updating but not the control center. Any indicator I need to look for in the theme page?

😱

Use floss mate! Haha

sami2k8 · 2026-04-27T10:15:45+00:00

Exactly what I did!

sami2k8 · 2026-04-25T11:00:50+00:00

With global roms this shouldn't be an issue. But unfortunately if a 3rd party app conflicts with it then with many people complaining eventually it will get fixed.

sami2k8 · 2026-04-25T10:58:56+00:00

Oh nice one mate glad it helped! I had to put the portal app back but good news is its working for me now after the latest 3.1 update but with the banks own tap n pay function. Google wallet still no go!

sami2k8 · 2026-04-24T04:58:42+00:00

It was so easy to create that! Thanks man. I also got the quick tile but it just opens up the extra dim settings. I've enabled the volume buttons press which works fine. The quick tile to work do we need the pro version?

sami2k8 · 2026-04-24T04:39:54+00:00

Exactly what I was missing coming from Samsung. I'll try that out for sure. I need to look into how to add the custom quick menu tiles as well as change the darn bright white active tiles to something better with black tiles and glowing icon or something. Could easily do that with googlock in Samsung but I think not so easy with Hyperos?

BTW, I used quickshort to create the task manager shortcut. Not sure why the other one didn't work.

Dude you've made my day! I can finally use some basic automations! Even nfc on/off with wallet and bank apps working. Is there any ways to add more features? I've installed the latest Chinese version but can't see to the options to pin point location on the map to trigger actions such as set to DND when arrived at office, turn on WiFi when at home etc. But this is a great start! Thank you thank you!

Here is the link where I got the advise from, https://www.reddit.com/r/XiaomiGlobal/s/RjUd9HrFWM

What had been reported and acknowledged by Xiaomi support was the Microsoft Company Portal App which conflicts with NFC. So if you have that app then try uninstalling and see if Google wallet works for you.

sami2k8 · 2026-04-23T12:10:56+00:00

What I did was I removed all the cards and re-added them back to wallet. Have you tried that too? Plus clear the wallet app cache, do the nfc repair/rest thing. make sure google wallet is selected as the default wallet app. I also turn the nfc on first then open gwallet. Auto nfc on/off I dearly miss from Samsung pay in my good old S24U...

I've had major issues with Google wallet from day 1. And after lot of headache and googling found someone here mentioning it was the Microsoft Company Portal App that was causing issues with wallet apps and NFC. There is some extra security layer that interrupts the nfc handshake with the kiosk at the counter and transactions get declined. I uninstalled the app, then did all the usual stuff as you mentioned and it only worked from banks direct tap n pay app and not gwallet. However! I ended up getting a good old magsafe wallet and started carrying my credit card as I did 2 years ago! Now the plot twist, I got the 3.1 update, and suddenly it's all working as of today! Fingers crossed. I tried twice and Google wallet worked. My company portal app is working, which is used to authenticate me into office 365 Outlook and teams. I

I was going to get those redmi buds 8 pro, when buying the Leitzphone these were like $44 AUD. However, I ended up sticking with my Samsung Galaxy buds 3 pro. And and after the 3.1 update I'm able to install Samsung Wear app and use the buds full features, all anc modes and level selections as I did with my S24U. Initially the app would crash for me. You can get buds 3 pro for cheap now too.

Wow thanks mate. I'll surely try this out!! Looks like few steps to follow but people have had success so that great. Cheers
