RIP all Micromax phones, esp. the ones with octa-core. Damn, Android One should have partnered with Xiaomi.

Build quality looks killer. Aluminium + Magnesium metal body at this price :-o

Body is plastic... Chassis is Aluminium Magnesium alloy, I believe...
Anyway, looks classy...

Oh dang! 15k for a phone wud b 2 much 4 me. If only i had a job. Dont they have smthng with a snapdragon 400 under 10k?

This only proves the fact that companies like Samsung/LG/Sony are massive douchebags for overpricing stuff.. A SD 800 at 15k thats fcking CRAZY..

Fhd display and s 800. They nailed it for the first time from a Chinese manufacturer.

Improve service in india, and increase price by 5 k = Phone orgasm

Man how did they price it so cheap! Even if they didnt have 2 do R&D the specs are top notch. A galaxy s5 has similar specs and costs 40k. So much 4 brand value

Hope they release it India.

1 Singapore Dollar equals 47.96 INR

If they were to launch the Xiaomi MiPad Tegra K1 tablet at the US price of 249$ it'll be a complete "handgasm". :mrgreen:

Why are Xiaomi phones so cheap? | PCWorld

BTW Xiaomi sold 26.1 million smartphones in the first half of 2014. :-o

*static2.businessinsider.com/image/53b421486bb3f76b258c2a59-800-/xiaomishipments-1.png?maxX=800

Extrapolate that graph, I only see death to Samsung - LG - Sony - HTC, in the low end market atleast..

As a comparison Samsung sold 300 million, Apple - 150M, LG - 46M and Huawei - 46M in 2013.

Xiaomi will become a market leader by the end of next year.
I guess it overtook Sony and HTC long time ago. Damn, Chinese.

The only phone which come close to this one is the One Plus 1

BTW guys have you seen the Xiaomi Mipad record sales?

Oh now i understand why xiaomi phones are cheap. This only further proves that the big brands are grossly overpricing their products. Hope they launch the Redmi 1S in India. Lets see if i can convince my mom 2 buy me the Mi 3. Gotta get a gaming pc too and budget is low :-D

. Seriously if I spend above 10k and buy smthng else i will surely face buyers remorse 4 a long long time :-D

And i dont think this phone will go kaput so fast lyk many mmx n other cheap fones since it runs a top of the line SoC and not an el cheapo mediatek

Wow! The quality seems good to

RIP Moto g i guess? Amazing phone but I don't see any development in xda

Yeah no section for the phone there...Its launched only in china, it will be great if they launch it worldwide....It has got 4.4 update though...

And they are launching 16GB version only in India, around 12GB will be available....One can wait for the 64GB version also....

Can someone post a worthy review of this phone? GSMA has not reviewed it. I don't know about Xiaomi, no idea about their QC, but they deserve my sincerest respect for that price. They just pointed out how much sucky suck suck are Samsung, Sony, hTC and LG, and I hope flagship devices will go back to the same pricing quota like they were back in 2005-2010.

Wow, now I am even more confused. I thought it had a dull display, fragile build and horrible camera, I mean what else can you expect from a 15k phone, but well! This is really unbelievable pricing.

Yeah, agree about the fruit company and it's filthy business policy, especially when they have so low quality products. But that does not mean others should have followed them, I mean Samsung, LG and Sony could have kept the prices somewhat realistic.

They are cutting cost by not so good after sales support, no marketing and no promotion

I doubt GSMA will ever review this phone they only review phones from pricier sibling from Sony,Samsung etc remember they were the last one to provide review for Moto E and that too a biased one.

That's exactly what made me postpone my idea of buying Mi3. They just need to launch it fast and under 20k to beat each and everyone!! I couldn't care less for iPhones. Moto X seemed my choice but Xiaomi just blew it all!

Hi... Is this a single or dual sim phone?
sorry for noob question.

The phone is spec wise nice..but it is a pretty much locked down phone with Zero developer support from xda ,as they havent released the kernel sources so no cyanogen Mod and other goodies
though their latest MIUI is based on kitkat
you might be getting a device specced similar to Nexus 5 but not the experience..
Though at 15k i doubt these would matter.. im hoping to get hold of one.. was planning to get a G2 from uae for around 22k but this made me drop it..im still debating though

Really want to get this phone. 15k may be stretching my budget a bit but the specs make me drool

Im just worried about warranty and After sales support and also the fact that ive never bought somethng so expensive onl9. But i guess i'm not taking any more risk than if i buy a micromax or xolo. In fact the phone might be much better. Will be eagerly waiting for honest reviews.

Well so far the queries regarding ASS has been conveniently ignored in their facebook page..
I suppose the most we can expect might be some online service centre.. if you are worried about warranty and longevity i dont know if this is really the phone anyone should be betting on

Xolo and micromax has now more service centres in places over india..Even my town has :/

Umm...who said anything about Asus? He said ASS which is short for After Sales Support which means their warranty, attitude, timely response on queries regarding repair, replacement and also service centres around the country.

Hey, guys...
Do Xiaomi have a good tablet too???
Have got tired of my iPad mini... :-(

So, just realized that they have a beast of a tablet called the Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9...

Hope they release that in India as well... Just look at its specs and competitive pricing!!!

Pricing is what is crucial in Indian market.

Anyone buying this?

theserpent said:

Not sure, I suggested this to a dozen friends who have a 20k budget for a new phone, yet while they are open for Moto and even LG(after seeing my G2), almost all of them jumped away as soon as I suggested this. Seemingly high performance mobile at an absolutely low price that too only from online vendor with no words on service center does not bode well with overly cautious Indians.

^^ Exactly, I will just wait till August to see the mass acceptance here.

^^^^same here

Yes, it is a crappy phone. But Cyanogenmod along with ThunderZap 4.6 kernel, and SGS Touchscreen Booster app can make a little difference...

only delhi and Bangalore has Exclusive Xiaomi service Center .. rest all other service centers are multi brand service centers servicing other brands as well.. it will take time for them to set up but at least they have something from day 1

^Yes.
Do these service centers offer free pick ups from other city's?

Actually having retail outlets selling these phones are a must because big retailers will send our devices to the service center for us

faridabad isn't smallto compare it with mangalore it has 3 times more population n if u consider gurgaon big then it is bigger than gurgaon and has approx double the population of gurgaon.

and opening service centres is all about catering to more people and provide service

Great pricing. I watched the event's live stream and they did announce plans of bringing other stuff like the MiPad and MiTV 2 to India later. Looking forward to that.

wow .... they even reduced the price of Mi3 unbelievable.... feeling bad for other OEMs

Finally this will teach HTC and Sony to stop Overpricing

^ they'll never learn, Samsung never does and keeps launching trash after trash.

Not only Samsung dude, every ****ing gazillion dollar manufactures are same, I mean the so called 'premium' brands.

Ya just read 2 days back samsung launching 4 phones under 10k..
Most people will go crazy after seeing it...

It will be gr8 if they reduce prices of RedMi 1S & Note further

Redmi 1s is like a better Moto G (hardware wise) and half its price. If they reduce the price even further, it'll kill entry level smartphone segment (win-win for everybody)

It will be gr8 if they reduce prices of RedMi 1S & Note further

People just tend to demand less and less cost at the cost of quality.. How exactly do you think they can reduce the cost after this ? Obviously they wil have to sacrifice in quality and doing so will make it no different than <GENERIC> China brand
IMO, i would be happy to pay 5 k more for no questions asked replacement warranty..

You took it seriously bro....

Now bigger question in front of me is
RedMi 1s OR Zenfone 5?

nah im just saying, thats like a general tendency.. I am very much happy that a company has launched a premium phone at such a low price, but from there how does it evolve ? to provide better after sales support right ?
AFAIK mi3 qualifies every bit to be a premium phone, if only someone assures me that for atleast a year this phone will work properly without any hassles at all, id instabuy it

R

SaiyanGoku said:

Samsung phones are trash maybe but they are very good Price wise of course talking about Tier 1 OEMs here... S5 was overpriced at launch but they quickly brought down the price to correct level.. if it had snapdragon instead of exynos it would have been a great phone despite Crappy design,touchwiz and gimmicks...

their main asset is Spamming with infinite models with same specs and marketing it at decent prices
apart from this they are clueless what to do... even xolo management seems to make better decisions than samsung

that is in Mid- high end..

in low end under Rs 15,000 they don't know S*** , they are more clueless now after their sales dropping.. i can't believe who allowed them to launch a single core device for 7k like galaxy ace nxt..

Htc has always been king in Overpricing stuff ..
Sony was great last year .. this year they went full retard.. only Lg seems to be consistent with decent pricing.. not counting motorola here..

i still think xiaomi wont affect sales of Samsung,Sony,Lg,htc Much though due to offline availability + brand Image + advertisements ...

But Mmx,Xolo,karbon,Motorola, can kiss goodbye to their sales..

Now their will be A great divide.. in 2 categories

Phones under 15k and phones more than 15k

under 15k will belong to Xiaomi , Asus while more than 15k will belong to Sammy,Lg,sony,htc

Common guys dont call yourself as geeks.we all know xaiomi is selling for low prices. Xiaomi want to enetr in indian market and they dont even have their own software division.

HTC, Sony , Samusng, Apple pose high price because they work on software updates for specific period, but in case of Xiaomi its not.

After getting considerable market share xiaomi will increase teh price but not like sony etc

Still 14k for that spec keeps me day dreaming...
And the Moto G killer is already out as Zenfone 5 but Xiaomi 1S will provide Moto G at 7k with 8mp camera and SD card slot...This is the company which should be the no.1 smartphone manufacturer..

At the end of the day people like me will be installing CM only and other mods may bring LG's and Samsung's features as well to the Mi3

thats highly doubtful.

The prices do make drool too, What I'm saying is xiaomi has a temporary reason for the low price, bashing other companies for price doesnt look good

Actually Mi3 is 7-8 months old so the price has came down now...Mi4 is releasing this month...
And there is the deadly OnePlus One with Snapdragon 801 @299$

When I read the specs ..everything seems okay ...but then when I saw the chipset being offered at 15k...I was like wut ?!!

I could have swapped my optimus g with this phone but I really dont know how good they are with software part.
I need a damn stable phone , LG is good with that.

kaz said:

you do know that the developer support for Xiaomi phones inside xda is almost nil...its ZERO for mi3 but i think there is some for mi2s,

they havent released kernel sources for Mi3 so dont expect any custom roms for mi3 unless phone gets into hands of some good developer,who can reverse engineer stuff..
Xda mods dont really like the MIUI for couple of reasons..which is why you dont see anymore MIUI based roms there..

So all those who plan to tinker with the phone..i think its pretty safe to say that's not gonna happen
Will probably be stuck with the iphonish UI for a while
They might release the kernel after mi4 is released though..thats the only hope..and then some developers can take over..

the phone is at 4.4.2 now..future updates and releases android L support etc are not yet known

Kidding right...MIUI release updates much more than HTC, SONY, LG etc....

Since they support more device I thought, its not theirs

I take back all my words

any chance for cyanogenmod on this ? its a global phone after all, and its chipset doesnt have locked kernel like mediatek crap ?

^nop

Mi doesn't release kernel sources

All good but that 16GB = 12GB storage is the only downer. Great Chip inside and then three games like RR3 MC4 Gangster Vegas or Asphalt or the likes will eat up around 6 GB and music around 2 GB atleast and then photos and etc etc, but then at that price I should be in hell for complaining!!!!!

Any news on the audio chip of the Mi3 guys?

^ Comes with USB OTG support for expanding storage

Because surprisingly those trashes sells like hotcakes. Dont know how.

Its because n00bs, who have almost zero knowledge about that trash and how much of a crap its SoC is, keep buying it just for the huge screen.

Rooting this device is the easiest
Xiaomi earns most of its money from its paid softwares likes themes...

What? Chinese phone for PoPs? At least an iPhone 5C or 4s

LOL he doesn't like iPhones. Too small of a screen plus some basic features are missing(not trying to start a debate here, I own an iPad 4 and love it

). He's currently using a Grand and it's running good but I wanted something new for him. Was considering the HTC Desire 816 for him but after all these Xiaomi and ASUS phones launched I'm totally confused what to buy

amjath said:
Common guys dont call yourself as geeks.we all know xaiomi is selling for low prices. Xiaomi want to enetr in indian market and they dont even have their own software division.

HTC, Sony , Samusng, Apple pose high price because they work on software updates for specific period, but in case of Xiaomi its not.

After getting considerable market share xiaomi will increase teh price but not like sony etc

Xiaomi are the makers of MIUI ROM which is available for a lot of phones, is updated weekly and is highly customizable. Plus the reason for no support from XDA is probably the fact that the phone is not that widely available. But India has a lot of talented developers. I'm sure they'll come up with something.

Why everyone is so stressing on the fact that kernel source is not available...LG never released Kernel Source for my Optimus One and was officially stuck at GB...We got CM9(ICS) which was better than LG's own GB and now I'm running CM11(KitKat) just after 1-2months of it being launched

Even filing a petition didn't work because Qualcomm showed no interest in making some libs (library files) public...

All a phone need is a great developer....

I almost decide to sell my s2 but i might skip this for mi4 because of no external sd card

Mi4 won't be coming anytime soon. Maybe by Diwali. At least that's what I could make out from the press conference.

Those may not even get launched here just like Snapdragon versions never do. :lol:

and that Lenovo one may get over shadowed due to qHD screen, only 1 GB ram (source: Lenovo A805e with 5.5-inch display, Snapdragon 410 SoC unveiled ) and Mi3/Mi4 launch.

i meant to say phones sporting Sd 410 have started appearing meaning other Sd 410 phones should be launching soon.. didn't mean to say they were better phones

Hopefully by year's end...That's why I said when Mi4 will be here ARMv8 devices would be more appealing...Xiaomi might use that in Redmi 2s

HCL Touch a third party third class after sales support for the Xiaomi, horrible mistake. I had harrowing time dealing with my Lenovo smart phone and HCL and Lenovo. Neither has clue as to what is happening. Im still going through it, if things dosnt sort out ,its over a month now of lies and deceit ,Ill move court,yes guys its that bad! Never ever buy a Lenovo smartphone unless they open up their direct after sales support. Sadly Xiaomi has done the same mistake. Ill rather buy a low specd hTC Desire 816 or Sony Xperia or even a hTC 616 rather than a high speccd smartphone with third class after sales support being handed out to third rate third partry ASS as HCL Touch.

In most such cases the phone is handed to the main Service Center, which is IMO operated by the company...

Its the communication and co-ordination between the two that creates the problem. A direct ASS cant be compensated or compared with a third party.

And you are wrong in certain aspects. Its not only hand over median, eg HCL Touch actually carry out repairs on site on behalf of Lenovo. Xiaomi have accepted the same Modus Operandi!

What kind of screen does it have Corning Gorilla glass 2/3 or sapphire glass? Also does it support other storage via USB (OTP Cable)?

ranadive said:

just read the specs posted by OP carefully
there is no info of glass technology.

the bundled earphones are not crappy as far I'm concerned

there is no bundled headphones as far as i have read...
you will have to buy the mipiston headhphones which is quite a looker and seems good too

have seen mentioned at different places the screen as gorilla glass 3..
*www.facebook.com/xiaomichina/posts/613102325392031 xiaomi official page

it would be a good idea to read the thread before posting !!!..mentioned already it has USB-OTG

All a phone need is a great developer....

this isnt as easy it sounds
im still using Galaxy SL the effort the community took to get a working cyanogen mod was tremendous..and nowcurrently running 4.4.4 ,its good,but not perfect.. but to reach this point it took almost 3 years and samsung/TI never released sources for this phone..the lucky break came when Optimus black released theirs..and couple of developers who contributed something along the way

No doubt this phone is good,But no matter what with time you will get bored with MiUi and you probably won't get the taste of android L too which will surely be better than MiUi.
Also give it some time wait for 2-3 months, still peope face problems with this phone get to know about the service and then probably get this phone.
Motorolla might even release a moto g2 etc which will be better than this.
On the other hand,Android One would release in about 3 months.

And Mi4 also...I am hoping that by the time they release it in India, their ASS will get better or the initial reviews atleast will clear the image of their quality of service.

my fingers are crossed for this mobile.... lets see the durability of the product and how well it's able to handle the hot , humid and dusty climate of the country...
BTW is anyone here planning to buy this moblie??

I'm cursing myself for buying Xperia SP. Should I sell it for the MI3?
I would like some future proofing, i.e. chipset that can handle new apps and multitasking for more than a year, and camera with image stabilization.
The raw specs are so mouth watering but how is the actual experience of using it? My Xperia SP has been smooth and flawless so far.

For that you will have to learn some mandarin and head over to some chinese forum!

Or maybe just wait for people to buy the phone and post reviews. BTW how is resale value of Xperia mobiles? Mine is brand new but no warranty.

lol, this phone seems to have better specs than my Nexus 5?? Seems a good phone for the price.

V

Getting ready for purchasing myself an Mi 3 as soon as I can

Getting really tired of these expensive phones that always get some kind of a problem after the first year.

Xiaomi doesn't release kernel sources, so development for Mi3 is practically nill in case of Aftermarket roms like CM, Omni, Paranoid etc.

I'm getting 11k for X.L NO WARRANTY as per Ouikr

XDA Will not support MI3 no matter what (Atleast that's what itlooks like)

That is not how the GPL laws work. There is no more or less or when they are ready to update to a new device. As long as they follow this and not follow the gpl laws like everyone else then I am sorry to say that it will most likely not happen. This company has enough issues with the Dev community as is. They should be posting all the kernel source "unedited" and with the proper authorship still intact.

VIA zelendel moderator @ XDA

Check the device forum requests in xda for more

XDA will surely not support if they could they would have already done that.

Xiaomi Mi3 Will suffer the same fate as the Gionee E7, both being incredible phones but falling flat on development area simply due to their manufacturers refusing to release sources. Although Xiaomi still has the upper hand on Pricing though.

hugo barrera has replied to someone's query on facebook regarding Android L he has said that they will get it to eventually..so we can assume android L is in the pipeline

DiD anyone get the priority pass?
i guess i was late to join the facebook page :/

EDIT
on Another note i have not seen the touch screen listed as gorilla glass 3 in any official listing..
there is no mention of it on gsm arena or even in tech spec section and on flipkart listing nor in the corning glass website...
the places where it is mentioned as the same are mainly reviews and that fb link i posted earlier

that is a bit of worry :/

Xiaomi MI-3 hands-on - GSMArena Blog

The Xiaomi MI-3 follows the current Android trend with a 5″ 1080p screen, which is protected by Gorilla Glass. Xiaomi uses IPS displays from Sharp or LG and the capacitive sensor can detect touches through gloves. Below the screen are three capacitive keys – Menu, Home and Back – but again, Xiaomi uses a custom software that’s optimized for this setup.

the lower end Redmi 1S got gorilla glass, so why won't they use it too on their flagship?

A

On their product page it doesnt mention Gorilla Glass be it the Chinese, MY, SNG, PH, HK, IN! So most of what floats on the internet is an assumption, as other flagships have, so too does this one! Again I'm speculating

Corning Gorilla glass is a brand... Just a brand that sells alkali-aluminosilicate sheet toughened glass... Anyone can make that glass... iPhones don't use Gorilla glass... they have their own suppliers making similar glass.

A

[MENTION=112667]AndroidFan[/MENTION], Do you even realise what you wrote?

I'm aware what Corning Gorilla Glass is! What my point was that Xiaomi MI3 does not feature a corning gorilla glass display and far from any official word on that! Its not mentioned on their websites where ever they have released their phone till date! So Corning is not the manufacturer for MI3 its some other OEM!

Gorilla glass , Dragontail(used in xperia and in mi2) etc are all super strong glass perhaps the way they make it strong might differ...iphone uses their own i think
if someone else makes it then thats...it..i dont really think its something to fret over too much
..its a good thing if we have it.if not.get a tempered glass protector that should take care of it for everyone

More I see this news my desire increases but only one important feature (dual Sim) is holding me back.

R

Hi, can anyone please tell when will Xiaomi start selling Redmi 1S and Redmi note in India? will they do in August? or later?
I plan to buy one of them ...
Thanks

S

According to Hugo Barra during the launch event, the 1S is coming in early August and the Note in late August but these are tentative dates.

Google Trends

check out the trends !!!

E

Apparently, some previous owners aren't impressed

[Discussion] Disappointed....| MIUI

But if they offer reasonable ASS just like they reasonably priced the MI3, then the lack of a developer support will somewhat get overlooked IMHO

EDIT: The discussion mostly refers to bugs in Developer MIUI ROM, not the Stable ROM. Hope this further helps in making a buying decision.

The VP of Xiaomi told that in China they guarantee 1hour service to resolve issues and they are looking forward to bring such experience in India...

guys, where is it out in India, whenever i try from flipkart, it asks to register, and so i did...next???

^wait till tomo

S

You have time to register till midnight today. You can buy tomorrow when the sale starts at noon. Apparently flipkart did this kind of thing so they can estimate how much traffic the site will get and prepare for it so it doesn't crash like when moto g,e launched.

- - - Updated - - -

OMG it's available now! I just ordered one

*www.flipkart.com/mi3/p/itmdxsvrrerjhztf?pid=MOBDXSVH7HHHNK8J&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=mi3&ref=575fee56-88eb-4c79-8287-6e425fa5f6cf

you in the priority???
list i cant seem to order..no buy option

S

Yes I received the 3 months First subscription when it was launched. I also have 50% off for renewal because of student account

Maybe it is for First subscribers only. I had received a SMS saying the 1st 1000 First subscribers to register will get a sure chance of buying. I was watching the live stream of the launch presentation and I registered for it almost as soon as they showed the flipkart page in the presentation.

hmm yeah me too registered the moment they made it available...but i dont have flipkart first.
probably thats why

S

Maybe. I also saw on the MI forums that those who had liked MI India's FB page were also eligible to buy today but tat had to be redeemed on 17-18th July.

Probably it's available today only for First subscribers and MI India fans. General sale starts tomorrow.

Also after ordering the product, the product page now says that I have to register to buy the product but when I hit the register now button it says that I'm already registered. So I'm guessing it's probably limited to 1 per account.

^^what is the delivery date?
do post reviews once received :-D

yeh kahan pe milega? just take me money already!!!

First 1000 Flipkart First customers who registered for the product is eligible to buy today

3. Does the phone have direct access to playstore since the chinese versions dont have it

2. Most probably its a service centre in partnership with other companies, like HCL for example
3. Chinese authorities don't allow Google services but its not a problem here in India
4. That cannot be determined too early but my only concern is that repairability score of a device should be high so that simple procedures like battery replacement should be quick and risk-free. Those sealed batteries are always a problem unless servicing is good enough
5. This guy here has a KK based MIUI so I'm guessing they've moved on to 4.4

6. There is almost always some seller involved but, that will soon be revealed by early customers

What is bothersome is that even in the review above, the guy surprisingly mentions that there are random crashes but casually believes that the dev team would take care of it. I just hope they don't turn this into another LG Optimus 2X and the Indian version turns out just fine

I'm glad to have ordered the Mi3 and not have waited for the Mi4. Mi4 simply isn't anything spectacular compared to the Mi3. It's pretty much like every other manufacturer's update so far.

is it launched on flipkart? the site is showing too much load errors :[

MI3 is any day better for the moment, anyways MI4 will take six to seven months for launch here!

Nah brother already has a Note 3, he is a techie .. money from his account got deducted ,,yet to recieve any update
and yeah mi4 should have been named mi3s its just a slight upgrade imo..but i think ergonomics wise it fits well..reminds me of S2 infact..
they havent mentioned the snapdragon number..they messed up when they announced mi3 funny thing though 8274AB is listed under 801 in wikipedia !!!
Snapdragon (system on chip) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now eagerly waiting for the phone to reach..
and flipkart have started registration for next week now..!!

here is the picture showing the review...

Agreed. Good Dev support is also a plus for moto. But it will be a while when I root my phone.

S

The mobile phone game has to be regret free. It's like the stock market. You'll get what you deserve. No more, no less

Oh and even CPU-Z lists the the chip on Mi3 as SD801 if you see it in any review video.

A

Even Wiki says its a 801 Chip, but Qualcomm says its a SD800 variant!

when u guys receive your order do confirm the chipset of Mi3

btw journey of steel video of Mi4 is awesome

Xiaomi's latest phone gets a steel frame, IR blaster and top specs for just $320

check that camera f1.8 !!!
SAE 304 stainless steel, to be exact -- to the phone's frame, which is sandwiched between a flat 5-inch 1080p screen and a swappable, slightly curved plastic back cover. The internal specs are as you'd expect: 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 16GB/64GB of internal storage, 13MP f/1.8 main camera, 8MP selfie camera, LTE radio (at last), 802.11ac WiFi plus a 3,080mAh battery. As a bonus, you also get an infrared transmitter to play with the TV (which Xiaomi also sells). As usual, the Mi 4 will be very affordable: Just CN¥1,999 or about $320 for the 16GB version, and CN¥2,499 or about $400 for the 64GB version (both off-contract, of course).

139.2mm tall and 8.9mm thick and 67.5mm-wide body

The Mi 4 will be available for pre-ordering in China as early as July 29th, and you'll also be able to pick up one of the many back covers to suit your taste -- be it bamboo, wood, leather, cloth or even stone textures. On top of that, you can add CN¥99 or about $16 for an annual insurance for broken screen plus accidental liquid damage. Sadly, Xiaomi reps told me that there's no info regarding the phone's global availability just yet

i would expect Mi4 in India
16GB: 15k
64GB: 18k

E

One can dream.

A $100 bump(₹6000) seems fine with me. As long as the upgrade is worth it (looking for Adreno 420)

S

[MENTION=107549]kamikaz[/MENTION] Even I saw that review. Got me a little worried but then again that's just one guy on flipkart whereas many of the professional reviewers across the globe haven't found any problem with it. I'll be receiving mine any moment now. I'll update once I get it.

SunE said:
I'm glad to have ordered the Mi3 and not have waited for the Mi4. Mi4 simply isn't anything spectacular compared to the Mi3. It's pretty much like every other manufacturer's update so far.

u have N5 and still buying Mi3

Zangetsu said:

It's actually a bit better than my N5 hardware-wise though. Anyways I bought it for my dad. I was going to buy him a HTC Desire 816 but you know how we techies are

E

A quick review would be great. I already registered for the next batch. Waiting for feedback as the Flipkart page doesn't have a single feedback. A bug free stable performance would determine further sales. This isn't like Moto G where the source code was out so that folks over at XDA could fix problems. All depends on the MIUI team

E

SunE said:
So did anyone manage to get one? Flipkart page seems to be down so I'm guessing it's sold out.

I have ordered today for myself... will receive it tomorrow.... if ppl want i can record an unboxing and a short review of the same.... let me know... :-D

Zangetsu said:

No way bro
I guess it would be 20k for 16gb variant

^16.5k is justified for 16gig

Ditto, I was about to get a HTC 816 but the ass of HTC is horrific and I went with Mi3. Lenovo ASS is good by the way my previous phone conked off and they refunded my entire amount as it was not repairable. Really great service by Lenovo though they took a month for the refund. The delay was due to HCL Touch their ASS for Kolkata.All an all fell in love with Lenovo.

Received my phone. It's a beauty. Everything seems to be working good for now. Just set up a few basic things and put it on charge. Will update more later.

review from tech2

Xiaomi Mi 3 review: Blows away the competition with a complete package - Tech2

"What’s brilliant is that the phone charges very quickly. In about 30 minutes, we went from 0 to 40 percent, which is a boon if you are constantly pulling down cellular data, on the move"

lets see..

There are comments popping up on MI facebook page about flipkart cancenlling orders automatically , some even after they have been shipped or reached the nearest transist hub, as per the post the Customer Care response is, apparently some are having serious screen issue!!!! and they are withdrawing orders
i saw around 5-6 people already commenting..started happening from evening i guess
This is kinda ridiculous..they should atleast swap it for a better one ..rather than just cancelling after the bakwas they made us go through during booking
MIne is yet to be cancelled and is on transist to my hometown..but im worried fingers crossed :-?

UPDATE
another reason CC is giving ,MI3 is having defective sim slots , those who got what do you think?

Update 2
someone ended recieving a faulty screen one

still updating..... will check out full features after this... screen is awesome and fluid ness is mind blowing...... 0 lag....

The unit I've received thankfully doesn't have any issues. The SIM tray was a bit hard to open. It took more force to open than the one from my Nexus 5 but apart from that no issues. The screen doesn't have any issues.
[MENTION=165219]emailvarunchandak[/MENTION] Is your update done? Notice any changes? I tried updating mine but the servers seem to be having some problem. It takes 5 minutes to download 2 mb and then it gets stuck even though I have a 4 mbps connection. Will try again tomorrow.

yeah... my update was done in 20 minutes and installation another 10... my sim tray was also a bit tight... had to refer a YouTube video.. lol... everything is great....

note that after update if done, DO a factory reset and reboot...
enjoy...

S

It has to be a problem with their servers then. Why do you tell to do a factory reset? This phone is being used by my dad and as I received it yesterday itself, I've transferred all his data to it. So a factory reset will be a PITA.

Usually a factory reset after OTA update is recommended... My Xperia Z1 had faced some bugs after I updated OTA, but I Googled and found out that it was a common problem and a factory reset was all that was needed to fix it...

From a fellow Sony user, any firmware update from Sony always messes with the phone. A factory reset is must. Have not faced it in moto g

Wow, I need to stop complaining about Samsung it seems. They are horrible when it's about firmware upgrades, and they are very consistent too. It's like keeping a good track record :lol:

So it seems all Android skins are ****ed up, only way to go is for pure Android it seems.

S2, from a extremely stable GB to messy ICS. S4, from beautiful JB too ****ed up KK. And they gifted some bugs with the updates, which was not fixable by a master wipe.

But yeah in general a full wipe is absolutely necessary when you're upgrading platform especially.

Btw, Xiaomi Mi3 is facing many issues... Sim tray issues, display issues, orders getting cancelled after being shipped, etc etc...
Hope Flipkart and Xiaomi sort this mess out soon...

A

Why dont we exercise some patience! We all had the patience to click the refersh button a hundred time when flipkart servers crashing over again and again to just get a hold of this phone! Now updates, the moment you get the phone if you update, your definitely foolish enough!

First check the basic functions of the phone and the OS are properly functioning, touch controls, the sound, speakers, camera, even may be the sensors! Check even if the display is good meaning no dead pixels or color fringes or even discolouration.
Next charge the phone a 100%, do it a day or two and see if all things work as expected!

Then finally when everything settles check for the Updates to the latest ones!

The orders getting cancelled are mainly the last few, guess their luck ran out; as always everyone one MI3 to do a show off, there were just 5000 so odd pieces for the 1 Lakh so called registration! Demand is more than supply, it aint fair even I know, but lets see what comes off the second sale!

10000 in 40 mins is poor by Xiaomi`s standards.....it might have got sold earlier but did not thanks to FLipkarts servers being overloaded

Sony is better than Samsung while providing updates. But whenever there is a version change a full reset is required after the update. Else the phone lags like hell. Pure android is always best. I have used Cyanogen ROMs in my Ray, and the experience was better than Sony UI.
Happy with my Moto G now

Did anyone here have their orders cancelled? Or got a defective piece?

I've never faced any issues after OTA update on any of my devices like Galaxy Note, Tab 2, Grand Duos, Nexus 5, friend's Moto G. Maybe some phones have this issue. Personally I've never come across it though.

Beware of Xiaomi service centre locations. The list is not final.

Just visited at one address[Mumbai - Borivali] mentioned in the service centre list & found out it to be Exclusive HTC only. I inquired but one person told me we are not servicing Xiaomi phones & they need to update it on their website.

Screen Mirroring to Tv needs chromecast or miracast devices right?

Usually these things are not reviewed, since its a custom rom we should check Miui thread for this or user review

MHL is for the wired mirroring, when you say screen mirroring it means wireless mirroring

if all goes well for Mi3 in India (ASS etc) then I might buy Mi4

We would like to clarify that Mi 3 does not have a “screen issue”. All you need to do is remove the plastic sheet attached to the phone screen.
Again, please be assured that all our products are tested rigorously before we ship them out.

screenguard and casing not launched yet ... so m very careful right now...

got the beast...used for an hour now put it for charging..after that update then need to transfer stuff from old phone.. i havent realised my music collection had grown so big its 4.5gb !! have to trim that a lot..now..my 16gb was almost full..need to lose so much stuff hmm..

the phone is superb ..but its very thin and the form doesnt really fit well in hands and its a bit too smooth it could slip off ..need a grip case...that feel when you first get that phone its awesome..well built and the screen does look really good..after almost 3 years galaxy sl this is indeed a big update for me..everything was smooth except for a bit stutter when i loaded facebook on chrome need to check it further ..
need to put it thru some serious usage now..need to know how much screen on time it gives on 3g..im a heavy 3g user
the only gripe about screen is its a heavy finger print magnet..in sunlight the fingerprint can end up blocking the view..so some screen guard is needed..i have ordered a nilkin tempered glass protector it should be on the way

the phone is superb ..but its very thin and the form doesnt really fit well in hands and its a bit too smooth it could slip off ..need a grip case...that feel when you first get that phone its awesome..well built and the screen does look really good..after almost 3 years galaxy sl this is indeed a big update for me..everything was smooth except for a bit stutter when i loaded facebook on chrome need to check it further ..
need to put it thru some serious usage now..need to know how much screen on time it gives on 3g..im a heavy 3g user
the only gripe about screen is its a heavy finger print magnet..in sunlight the fingerprint can end up blocking the view..so some screen guard is needed..i have ordered a nilkin tempered glass protector it should be on the way

can u please share the link of the site from where you ordered it! Please! xD

Thought of doing a small photoshoot,since no one has done it.......

I have already made the video of unboxing, need to upload it asap... :-(

I heard the setting etc are badly converted to English?

can you post the link of the protector please? btw, any phone would stutter when you put a bloat on another bloat

Give this man a cookie [MENTION=146621]The Incinerator[/MENTION] looks good thx for posting

ok updated didnt do any factory reset.. adjusted stuff a bit to my liking... though even after update when you clear ram using task manager im getting only like 600-800mb so far i have installed whatsapp ,opera mini, and updated chrome nothing else

apart from that everything is super smooth..loving it.. the gps lock was instantenous inside my room that really stunned me MY i9003 you had to go out and wave around to get a bloody lock !! :-D

Can we enable the mass storage mode ,apart from the MTP mode which comes on? moving files is a bit of hassle..i didnt see any option
and has anyone found out how to change the language of the suite for the phone..ill have to google around a bit, to make it english
cant get the phone to tether thru usb so had to install the suite..

tethering works fine in win 8 though without any need of driver installation

what have you all done with that barcode sticker on back ? pulled it off? they have written on it to keep it safe for warranty

the english is fine..but in some themes chinese creeps in other areas...my current one has, though its icons are nice..

And i Ordered the protector thru ebay i dont know when its gonna reach here,gonna take a while..its the same seller some of lg g2 guys have used in this forum to buy..
the nilkin glass protector is 7$ where as Local sellers are selling upwards of 1000 inr
im planning to buy the official flipcase when it is released , i think it could be released this week as the page for the item is already online , added it to my wish list
here is the link for the Protector
Great Nillkin Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Miui Xiaomi M3 MI3 | eBay

Also how is the camera..the pictures just fine in phone ,but on computer i feel like there is a lot of post processing going on

^ check if the phone comes pre rooted out of the box. If it does, install greenify and hibernate user apps. you can even uninstall chrome and use other ones.

Stable rom aint rooted i guess.for the time being im not rooting lemme get the hang of it
and which browser according to you is best?(just wanna know) i will be using opera mini for most of my regular use(i really love its feed system).. but those which need interaction ill need a decent browser

Mi3 Guys..

I'm one among the person eagerly looking to buy this hype!

Just curious to ask u guys that, I have seen this mi3 users telling (here & other forums) it supports pendrive connection thru USB OTG. then, what about connecting to a 500gb-1TB HDD drives to it thru USB OTG cable. :crazy:

Anyone tried? Will it work? :Fingerx:

[MENTION=146621]The Incinerator[/MENTION]

To all owners of Mi3
Have you checked basic telephone features like call quality, 2G & 3G network? Any sudden drops in network? Is WiFi connection Stable?

It takes a lot of power to spin HDD. So my guess is no not possible

A HDD will work as long as it's externally powered

i have made a few calls...nothing unusual so far..
ALso tried screen mirroring with sony w700b.... it was a breeze, mirrored perfectly
factory reset did give me a lot more ram than initially after the update ..turned off sync and all that

one of my friend who also got the phone says the battery usage on wifi alone is incredible
though same cant be said about on 3g... it does drain a bit faster..

a bit disappointed with camera with the few shots i have taken..i think its down to poor software optimization..ill take more snaps in different conditions and check again!

Thanks sandynator!

Will do the audio of the fone soon, with iem HP and a full blown hiend stereo set up too.

Will the phone will come to local market????

There is no news on local market launch.. But, you can expect Flipkart.com to be its exclusive seller atleast for next 6-12 months.

Minion said:

It doesn't.

NO mi 3 do not have any adapter..

i doubt they will sell it locally..i dont think they are making big profits here..though hugo barrera has mentioned that they plan to invest in INdia heavily..
and YEs this phone takes around 4 hours to charge, it does charge a bit faster intially but then slows down and it drains fast with 3g also..yesterday i went whole day on 2g ,but today im going exclusively on 3g network will post my screen caps later

Whats the output of the charger?
Might be the reason why it takes so long to charge...

Guys.. After all the time I spend posting about good things about mi3 damn
my phone might be having problem with screen the backlight is decreased towards bottom.... That is on white background top to mid is brighter than the bottom Portion of screen will update with screen shots when I'm home, it's a slight decrease.. I thought it might have been an effect and but today checked with a white background

Do a restart and check.

hmm.. bottom is a slightly dimmer i think there is a very minute backlight bleed on top which makes it appear brighter its apparent if you look carefully only...i dont have my camera with me..trying to take the pic in a pitch black room with my old SL doesnt help much..its not apparent on normal use..but if you load a whole white page , for example the settings page you tend to notice it..
if you make it whole black the bottom area is darker compared to top

im not really sure whether i should pursure this .. everything else is fine for me

it's not about the backlight issue, that's another issue.. lol... those thumbnails don't let me share images on WhatsApp and crashed my gallery.

or you could have prefixed the folder with a "." a dot( rename like .new etc that would make the folder hidden and you would need to enable viewing hidden folder in file explorer to see it again

That seems like a weird problem. You still have time to claim for a replacement if it is a hardware problem. To run the phone's internal diagnostic tests just dial *#*#64663#*#*

You'll get a variety of tests...

The top edge is definitely brighter Compared to bottom edge of screen, (or the bottom edge is darker compared to top) I'm not alone with this, asked my friend who had bought it he also has it and I have posted on their Facebook page also some have replied..
I don't really wanna go through the hassle of replacing this unless necessary, it could be a make problem and don't wanna end up with the same problem again so once I get hold of a camera I'll post the pics here and sent a few to flipkart and xiaomi too
So from the response Am I alone in this, within the forum? No one else has it??

Btw how does the flipkart replacement process work? How long does it take once they have initiated

Flipkart replacement really works. They replaced a faulty phone twice within 3 days!

and which browser according to you is best?(just wanna know) i will be using opera mini for most of my regular use(i really love its feed system).. but those which need interaction ill need a decent browser

I have asked this question in Android discussion thread

I use UCbrowser

My fone this Mi3 by the grace of God is fine and faultless. I read all the faults you guys mentioned,went and tried and tested on my fone but I couldn't find fault.

The screen issue , the banding at the bottom is typical IPS panel problem. The theme that we have as default has a black tint towards the bottom which when the fone is used with high brightness levels creates a burn in which on white backgrounds become evident. Decrease the brightness below half for a day or two and I hope the issue will get resolved. I never set my brightness of the screen over 25% for the first 7 days. It does pay off.

it isnt lcd burn..its either bit of increased backlight coming from top or decreased backlight from bottom..im not sure which is which

my brightness level was always in the range of 20-30% except for some 5 min when i went out into sunlit area

and yeah i have already posted on facebook some 3 people have replied..ill post the pics here tonight..

update just now another guy also has posted on face book

i get a feeling this is a common issue perhaps from a particular batch or build

both sharp and jdi are making displays may be one of them has problems , its a hypothesis..im also thinking the display make which isnt on my phone has longer battery life

... just some theories..

[MENTION=128761]sushovan[/MENTION] which page was the post ? ill like to get there post my reply too

Update
the miindia facebook admin just replied to my DM , adviced me to take it to service centre,..
the nearest centre isnt even picking up the phone..and its 70km away..
:/

the comment is right now on the first page of MI3 review in Gogi's site. this incident is quite similar to what many LG G2 users suffered. Many G2 screens went dead after booting into recoveries (even stock one) but the G2 screens which were made by another panel maker encountered no such issues. plenty batches of HTC one M7 also had the infamous purple tint camera issue due to the fault of a particular camera module maker.

here comes my first pic managed to obtain a camera from friend could only take a proper pic with white background , black gives weird colours

*i.imgur.com/mhBPGks.jpg?1?3813
see the top and bottom top is left side here

the dark bands you see on either side is down to the focus issues of camera i think its not like that..i dont think a camera snap would be able to reproduce the problem correctly, trying to take different shots will update

BTW MI3W stands for WCDMA i think which is the international version ..so dont worry about that

The news of OnePlus One making its way here is giving me second thoughts. Or how about, OnePlus Two ?

well have only a point and shoot and i think the above 3 images are the best i can come with

E

So going through the Flipkart reviews, there is one problem you will be getting out-of-the-box

The infinite boot loop when the phone dies due to low battery. Currently the solution as per the user is that you will have to put it on charging to at least 4% before using turning it on

I believe no one has stuck into a boot loop as of now. They say that's a bug in the MIUI update, but the devs should look into it ASAP

I'm not really sure, it's a software bug my phone died day before and it booted just fine after plugging in. The charging started off 1%
Man I might keep this phone, a lil dim edge is nothing compared to all these troubles :/

Update
For those who are using Maps make sure you close maps BEFORE stopping GPS, instead if you stop GPS before exiting maps, it will keep looking for gps and will continue to do so,somehow,even after clearing it from memory using the task manager...which is how i ended up draining my phones battery to nil

the standby battery usage is simply amaing it barely used any yesterday night

E

What about your trip to the service centre ? Is Xiaomi responding ? I just wish if I get mine I won't need to run around for service centers

i havent done much , few minutes back sent a mail to service.in@xiaomi.com asking for a replacement, lets see how they respond

im still weighing my options ,the defect isnt something that could affect me on a daily basis and provided if this doesnt progress, i think ill be able to overcome the minor OCD im having about this

My nearest service centre is 80km away and they arent picking up the phone , so going there without any confirmation will be a waste of time

Now if you look at flipkart reviews almost 10% have issues ,ie they have rated it as star..
Im also hoping I dont end up with a far worse unit than i currently have

A

Its not 10 % it's far a lesser amount; as always flipkart reviews are just bogus trolls or rants, even though people have asked those reviews to be moderated it just goes unheard! Its done by people who hardly have seen a device in the hand!

S

Hey why don't you contact flipkart for replacement instead of going after the service center. They have a pretty hassle-free 30 days replacement policy. Try shooting them an e-mail.

A

You will not have a guaranteed replacement and he might have to wait longer if at all he is looking for a replacement, one can really tell after today's sale at 2PM

Whos gonna buy today?

kaz said:

i had bought the device first day first show.... half an hour ago i got a message that I had registered for today's sale at 2 PM.. :-|

Sold out under 2minute it seems!!

Well if I was stationed at Bangalore I would have called flipkart Straight but now I'm at a place where it would take at least 2-3 days for their stuff to reach, besides I have read couple of posts on Facebook where flipkart haven't responded to replacement queries.. So I decided to try xiaomi first

K

placed the order just now and confirmed COD call.. now can't wait to get my hands on this :razz:

feeling really exicited :lol:

E

Damn...sold out at 2:03pm. WTH@#$%*

I'm done. This lucky draw strategy is annoying

As a side note, on Flipkart I see that all reviews, yes ALL OF THEM, have vanished at the time of posting

K

try again man maybe its just there site acting weird .....try one more tym .........

S

BTW I saw posts on Mi India FB page that the phone went OOS literally within seconds after 2 PM. This is pretty much not possible. So either Xiaomi and Flipkart don't have any stock and are just hyping it up OR Flipkart still haven't fixed stuff up on their side.

Wanted to know something for clarification, those of you who got the device in the first sale , were you able to get the second round of sale purchase with the same login ID?

^ I think its not possible, FK is strictly putting up their " one phone per account " tagline everywhere throughtout this week and that applies to all accounts using which a Mi3 has been bought. maybe because many dealers or black marketeers exploited the stocks on the first week and bought in bucks to sell them at exorbitant prices. Although they can simply bypass that using multiple accounts.

I couldn't, the buy now tab was greyish red and hence cudnt purchase since I already bought one in the first sale through the same account.

Flipkart is such a LOL along with XIAOMI, they had close to 10,500 units to cater the millions here in India.
Creating hype and traffic to the site.

*www.zauba.com/import-xiaomi-hs-code.html

Import data. Units imported to Banglore, FKs main shipping HUB.

I doubt they have left any.

DUMB FLIPKART CODERS! Just found out that the countdown clock runs on Javascript, and guess what? It uses SYSTEM time for the countdown! :ULTIMATEFACEPALM: So the people who had their system clocks running before time or clever people who figured out this vulnerability was able to book it way before booking started. It still doesn't explains why and how registrations of people who registered on the first sale were cancelled though.
PS. You can try it, change the date and time in your PC and it shall reflect on the registration page.

Bought it last week for 13849 something. Amazing phone. (Not as good as my G2 though)

I'm using the Mi3, don't even compare the MotoG with it ! The Mi3 is in the league of Nexus 5, Z1/2, S5, M8 etc etc.

Guys what's your Antutu scores by the way?

D

Antutu: 30k something.

Did you change the battery to high performance and run the test?

Xiaomi guys replied to take it to service Centre or ask flipkart to replace and so I mailed flipkart stating my problem and asking them what to do and they have initiated a return process now!!! Wonder how long it's gonna take

As you're using it I've a question which no one asks nowadays! How's the CALL QUALITY on this? I mean the earpiece loudness and quality? And how effectively does the noise cancellation mic works? If you've tested these stuffs...

Call quality is excellent. Its crystal clear and loud too. I set the volume to the lowest point. There's no call drop as reported by few.Sound is loud and clear. The noise canceling do work but only up to a certain level,if you are standing next to a very loud surrounding it will let sound from the surrounding seep in,otherwise in normal traffic etc its great.

Call quality is damn good.... its the best i have encountered since i had a mobile.... and for noise cancellation, you can test it like this:

1. Switch on ceiling fan to full power.
2. Stand under it and use a normal phone (calling someone) without noise cancellation feature.
3. Now, call the same person using Mi 3 with noise cancellation enabled and notice the difference.

Btw, you dont have to call, you can record the voice and listen.

Just checked out wiki for MIUI and found that 4.4.4 will be released on 16th August (great birthday gift from Xiaomi

Thanks a lot guys! That sounds wonderful! Now I'm thinking about selling the X! Don't know if I should!

Do Not sell Moto X, MIUI still have many bugs, while X have a great interface, I ordered Mi3 in first round, Than canceled to check some review, Now I again ordered after checking some review.
I used MOTO G, MOTO X, Galaxy S5, Moto X is awsm, do not recommend to sell it for Mi3.

Thank you, cos was seeing the second order cancelled!

I don't know if it's a MI3 Bug, or a MIUI bug or it's just me! :-(

What I experienced is that when I turn off the screen, any notifications having to do with data/wifi connectivity (Gmail, Hangouts, WhatsApp) are disabled(in my case). It seems like there's some sort of settings which disable always on data/wifi connectivity when the screen is off for a certain period of time. Am I missing a particular setting here, or is it a bug, or what?!

Has anyone of you guys bought MI3 have this issue ??

My battery mode is Conserve

I did see an option where wifi/data was turned off when the screen was off. Maybe you have that enabled. Try switching the battery setting to high performance/normal whatever. That should resolve your issue.

- - - Updated - - -

BTW the accessories on Flipkart now have a price tag. The flip case is 559, screen guard is 179, Mi Piston headset is 999 and Mi 10400 power bank is 999. It still shows OOS though. Maybe it'll launch soon. What do you guys think about the price? Is it fair, especially for the case and the headset?

rates are ok.... is the screenguard matte finish ? if so then it is very cheap... thanks for reminding this... i'll buy this now.... urgently required...

its for 12k in China...

Yeah the rates are good. Get em fast. I had bought a case on 22 nd itself for Rs 650 on eBay,it was Pudini Cross Pattern Case ,awesome looks and quality,now its retailing for Rs 3000!!! You can get it cheap off Ali Express,they all get from there.I bought two screen guards from Karpine ,exact fit for Rs249 (for both). The clear looks better the Matt,the Matt gaurd kills the color accuracy and contrast.

I ordered the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector from the link someone posted a few pages back in this thread along with the same product for my Nexus 5 as well from eBay.com. The seller has already shipped the item from HK and I should get it in 2-3 weeks.

As for case I think my dad would prefer the official flip cover itself in black so I'll be getting that.

The official screen guard that's listed is of the clear type and not matte finish.

@HeadBanger I thought the sound quality was quite decent. Make sure to tweak the Dirac audio settings until you find something that suits you.

Well the customer care has asked me to wait 7-10 days as the item is currently out of stock or I can take a full refund
Well I replied I'll wait till Aug 5 when the next sale is happening, but they are yet to reply

Btw the original accessories from MI are showing out of stock!! Was it even on sale to begin with!? I'm pretty sure it wasn't today morning I had them on the wishlist

And all those who bough the phone, please check and turn off NFC , it's turned on by default

All the accessories are out of stock even before being put on sale :-?

udaylunawat said:

Assuming they have left any, now that the last one was taken by [MENTION=142364]elafanto[/MENTION], so in theory, you should. Especially if you do not mind the non-removable battery and non-expandable memory.

And as a side note, do not compare the Mi3 to the Moto G. They are in a completely different league. The only similarity is their price tag. The similarity stops dead there.

That Mi3 is a flagship at a throwaway price. That's what it is. So, consider accordingly. You can also look into Zenfone 5 if you fail to buy the Mi3. The only concern would be x86 architecture and service network in your area. Good Luck.

That has already been discussed in the MIUI forums. Now if you spend some time looking into those threads, you might find a solution. I admit there are many kinks that need to straightened out. I'd have been able to help out better had the stock lasted yesterday when I logged in to buy, but as you know, crap happens. So Mi4 it is, or the OnePlus One :twisted:

Sound is good,with plenty plenty truck loads a details and it has got a firm grip over the mysic , won't let anything any frequency to standout and grab attention or neither loose focus. Will comment more after I go through more generes.

Turn Dirac off and listen with EQ at Flat. And ofcourse good IEMs, I used the trusted Sleek Audio SA6.

I am not sure but this may be due to battery saver setting which disable wifi,internet and apps sync.

is the bootloader of Mi3 unlocked/unlockable?

Everything is locked down as of now..
Bootloader, kernel etc... If we could manage to get couple of good developers for the phone we might be able to reverse engineer stuff. But with xda refusing to provide a platform our only hope is for xiaomi releasing sources eventually.. I do believe this phone can be optimized to be a lot better.. Was checking cpu-z and found the governor to be interactive.. That's one thing that can be improved upon

Wiki lists 8274-AB under Snapdragon 801, so is Mi3 has 801 chipset?

They only released sources of Mi2 after Mi3 launched and that too after thousands of petitions. This time same thing needs to be done cause this beast has all the potential to run every rom thrown at it and its stuck with MIUI :/

Pardon me for asking this but aren't there already many snapdragon 800 devices out there (even ones with same soc as mi3?) . Can't those sources ,which are already available be used ,what's the need for reverse engineering and petitions

yeah.. had restarted the device... btw, my device runs the whole day on 3G.. no issues...

Yeah it can, that's why i asked about the screen on time

Never trust benchmarks, they tell next to nothing about the real performance of the phone. Samshit flagships also score huge in benchmarks but lag even while making a call.

Heres my score , phones from Flipkart are just fine,maybe your RAM or Battery settings are not at optimum .

Stay offline. Do a cleanup before going for Antutu.Battery should be preferably above 50%.

I connected my Mi3 with PC for the first time and installed the Mi3 MDB driver,its in Chinese,but its a one stop solution from back up to surfing the net if your PC is connected to the net. All you have to do is just connect the phone to the PC with usb and you can surf the net through PCs LAN,no 3G no wifi!! Use your phone cam as web cam....etc etc

Update it.. And camera isn't that good.. Provided the lightning conditions are correct it can take good pictures.. That's all.. And I do think the camera software can be optimized a bit too.. Besides a good camera doesn't mean a good picture depends on the user too

Bro, the camera is too good for the money,only you have to know how to use it. There's immense manual control,use them if you are familiar. HDR works wonders in low light conditions,but don't shake when taking hdrs.

updated to ver 18 ROM.. but is factory reset necessary? I heard that Doing so will result in removal of gapps also.

also, any good screen guards and cases there? the ones at flipkart like karpine,rock etc are crap and Mi accessories are forever out of stock.

I didn't factory reset after the update and I don't find any issues so according to me it's not necessary.

Hopefully there wont be another massacre on flipkart regarding accessories launch like they did with the phone launch.

I'm not really a fan of flip cases, once I get the nillkin screen guard and that along with an aluminium protector should be good..
There are couple of them selling at 700 rupees plus, these things though are only about 400rs on Chinese websites
I'll get my accessories once my phone issue is sorted out, waiting for that flipkart call or I'm gonna raise hell!!
Btw there is an option while resetting to not delete user downloaded data or something similar I used that..

And funny enough though I got your phone before you as per the import date on your pic mine is newer :/ might be a typo on mine

Those aluminum ones were selling for Rs499 on eBay on 22nd but now all they prices have skyrocketed. A flip cover with a vacuum lock is the only thing that actually saves your screen. Personal experience,these new tempered glass protectors don't do much,if there's a free fall for the fone the screen will shatter in most cases but the tempered glass protector will stay intact.A good quality screen guard is .26 mm thick and the tempered glass is .30 mm ,so its pretty implied.Its a new fad,will die soon.

Flip cases are worthless IMHO. Even if there's a vacuum / magnetic lock there's no surety that the flip will stay down in case of a drop.

The vacuum lock won't open no matter what in good cases from Pudini or Nilkin,when there's a free fall. Neither it will let the screen crack if your car keys and phone are in the same pocket of your jeans. Things I learnt the hardway.! I'm using a Pudini cross pattern black for the Mi3, the quality is awesome.

I bought it for Rs 650 !!! Ha ha ha, really they have gone mad,the sellers! I really wanted the aluminum back cover but then the nightmare of my previous 5 inches screen cracks reigned me in.

Get it from aliexpress,but the wait is of 21 days but the collection is mind bogglingly huge. All eBay.in sellers get it from aliexpress.

They probably don't have it in stock. Some sellers have this habit of overpricing their product listings when they don't have the stock. For some reason they don't like re-listing.

^^ yeah they do that
just out of curiosity i decided to compare my old SLCD from i9003 and mi3 ,mi3 does have a yellowish tint even after selecting cool from the color saturation screen (and if you look close enough you can see the bottom edge is dim and light bleed from top)

and mi3 screen is at 50% brightness while i9003 is at 40 !

Different company screens have different color tones. Even my Nexus 5 screen looks a bit yellowish compared to that of Moto G.

The screen seems to have attracted a lot of my fingerprints in one day. any idea how to clean those? or do i even need to clean those ? will this fingerprints have any impact if i put a screenguard later?

Get a screen guard asap. Even if its not the original. Later when you get a good one remove it. Just fix something that doesn't have adhesive.

I feel you bro

Haha..My replacement set arrived today.. everything seems to work ok..display looks fine (well almost..but im gonna nitpick anymore ,this is just fine).. wasted too much time over it already
updating straight to the latest one
Btw [MENTION=165219]emailvarunchandak[/MENTION] while updating its a good idea to backup the data ,there is a default MI app called backup which will save your data locally..
Now need to get some cover
any suggestions ?
how is pudini brand? are they good?

B

It was added my FK cart, after few struggle it moved and the amt got debited to my bank a/c. but no confirmation from FK. If i open again it still showing in 'view cart' and when i press 'place order' its going for payment. but, i already got debited to my bank a/c.

guys whether i got it or not? confused???

dont worry if its deducted from your bank ,your order must be placed most probably,I had the same problem, infact they showed my transaction has failed in flipkart page but the money was deducted and after some time i got message ,the order was placed
Same thing happened with my cousin also Keep calm and Wait

[MENTION=146621]The Incinerator[/MENTION] imagine man..the fame is spreading and i guess the amount of people trying to get it must be more than 2 lakh and the way flipkart is selling its the fastest first 15,000 clicks doenst take much time, does it

though there was a guy going around MI india facebook page telling people to contact him if they want the mobile he can get it booked for sure ,..i dont know if there is any hack to get it booked

I

So was anybody able to get it? Went out of stock for me instantly...

If they honestly have such a vast demand, why can't they ship 30-40K units which will be met as well but like in 30-40 mins. Giving people ample time to buy, get good sales and create less frustration? It's been what 2 weeks already since they concretely know about the massive demand?

Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. Spark is fine, as long as it's contained.

they are just giving hope and that is spreading the fame..
Probably they have yield issues every country its launched ,the same thing has happened
even in china MI4 was sold out in 32 seconds.

voila!!! got confirmed by flipkart by mail. :hyper:

it was very tempt.

Pudini ones are best ( especially the cross pattern flip one) but getting one right now in India is equally hard as the phone itself.

you can check out the seller "allphoneunlock" at ebay india, only one I found selling original xiaomi accessories.

[MENTION=107549]kamikaz[/MENTION] , I really do t think so, 15000 clicks in 2 sec for the same product at the same time will crash Flipkart or any kart. I know there's a huge response but this is plain fishy,anyway you look at it.

out of stock in 2secs :shock:

is it Mi3 or Orgasm

[MENTION=107549]kamikaz[/MENTION] For phone cover head to aliexpress.Lot of option but the wait is of 21 days. I'm using a Pudini Cross Pattern on my Mi3 and its very good indeed,high quality.

Pl suggest a good screen guard and cover which ships within 3-5days (should reach fast) as i dont want keep it naked long :wink:

, as mine (mi3) delivery date is on this 8-Aug!

and [MENTION=128761]sushovan[/MENTION] the one u told (pudini) is showing in ebay at 899/-, is that worth buying?

That one isn't the cross pattern one and the seller looks dubious. The actual ones from Pudini on eBay are priced exorbitantly and the sellers themselves mentioned out of stock status. Currently Your best bet for a good case is the Official Mi flip cover at 699 from seller allphoneunlock ( Flipkart will start selling the same for 599 but no one knows when and how many will be able to even buy it).

I'm using a Karpine Diamond 0.26mm. Its good. You will find it in Flipkart. The other good one is from Nilkin 9H tempered glass costs close to or over Rs1000 at the moment.

Karpine Scr-2009 Clear Screen Guard for Mi3 - Karpine: Flipkart.com

sadly allphoneunlock store has only white cover left.. that will get dirty quickly nah, i'll wait , i should have ordered a cover when i ordered the tempered glass cover ..21 days wait is too much

Btw any idea what the glass covering camera is made of? is it scratch resistant,hope it is..my last phones camera glass was pretty much filled with scratches..after putting it inside pocket
[MENTION=146621]The Incinerator[/MENTION] have you tried the VIper mod, supposedly improves the sound quality, need root..

Has anyone found the differences in the new update, the ones i found so far are

Battery conserve mode is missing
Backup programs icon is missing from the tools folder , can be accessed from settings page( i was able to restore my apps from the old mi3 to new one without problems )
GPS icon in status bar now appears on left side
New wallpaper (the one shown on MI4)
The network status has now 5 bars
the default font is slightly large than before, i think so
front camera has timer; for selfies i guess!
Update
Pulse notifications appears to be working fine now(mis call worked for me )

will update if i see anything new

Wow thanks kamikaz for the update on the update ! No I am yet to try the viper mod. Will do it,but I'm skeptical about rooting.

haha i would have rooted ,if i had time to mess with the phone ,but right now i'll have to focus on other important matters..

btw got this from miui official forum

Qualcomm later clarified that both MSM8x74AB and MSM8x74AC belong to Snapdragon 801 series

Qualcomm Clarifies MSM8974AB And MSM8974AC Are Under Snapdragon 801 Series
Disappointed! XiaoMi Cheats Buyers By Quietly Changed Mi3's Processor To Snapdragon 800 MSM8274AB

So, Xiaomi Mi3 has a Snapdragon 801 chipset. And the only difference between Mi3 and Mi4 is a clockspeed difference of 0.2 GHz and a physical memory difference of 1 Gb.

Its really not those 15k pieces, neither 10k or even the 5k, its much lower than those! Other manufactures will push in FTC to conduct a check on the real number of pieces sold very soon! There is insider hand, if you know someone at FK , you can get out of loop mess!

Whatever the FK $**** doing but, finally this time i was able to book one mi3 :thumbs:

, and it'll be delivered tomorw or next day.

So you already owner of this mob, pl suggest me what are the important or general 'dos & donts' as soon as i receive this ph. :noob:

Thanks for the quick response n imp point.

Currently i dont have net facility in my sim, but somehow will do update shortly. after switching on first time do i need to empty battery or put to charge it to 100% from whatever it has?

btw any other suggestion?

Put it to charge without switching it on as soon as receive it.
[MENTION=142364]elafanto[/MENTION] ,you are right, I'm running ROM 18.0 and am not getting the 22.0 anymore,I believe they have withdrawn the ROM,I read it has camera and call drop bugs,maybe that's the reason. Check if you are getting 18.0 or wait till they come up with a new one,or if problems are severe ask for a replacement.

nfc working fine, tested with nexus 5 and nokia lumia. no issues.... btw, i haven't faced any call drop or camera issues... everything is going great...

Mine is just not transferring data between a Z2 or a Note 2. I turned on the NFC on both devices,touched two phones,played the video for transfer but didn't get any message on either that transfer is taken place! Am I doing something wrong?

DARn the update is pulled ???!! 500 mb of my 3g wasted damn..
i havent faced much bugs,but i havent really used the phone that much ,trying to deaddict

only problem i have faced is ,whatsapp notification has gone buggy, it was working fine in v18 without doing anything, i dont know if it has anything to do with backing up from previous ver..can someone post a screenshot of its permissions

MI3 V22 random - Imgur

here are some photos i have taken with HDR on and off ,im not a good photographer so not sure this would be fine
Judge the pics for yourself and the only place the hDR got darker was in the picture with remotre control and as you can see its the situation with minimum light ( all pics ,except the dog one , are low light situations)

Also its a good idea to head to MIUI official forum, they have got many tips and stuff going on
though im not sure which forum is official there is an India specific forum and an India subsection under international miui forum, the latter seems to contain many contests though

check this some super awesome pics taken with Xiaomi phones

20,000 is still a joke. The numbers with all the publicity and the demand should have been higher.If as per data 15K finishes in 2sec so will 20k !!!

the 15k units is surely a lie, I highly doubt it's possible to sell 15k units in just 2 sec

About your point 4.factory reset, i've been a follower of this thread since beginning, i've not seen agreement on this thing to do or not among mi3 users. you only said to do reset, but some did & some going fine without.

So what is the clear opinions all users of this mi3?

Btw just now got the beast!

since the possibility of grabbing the Pudini cross pattern case is next to nothing, im going for this :

it's a good practice to factory reset after initial update to clean up everything and use the phone fresh out of the box.. in the end, its your opinion..

BTW i'm on a 512kbps connection so i think that's what happens updating through pc. can anyone do it on their pc and confirm if i'm right about this . because then i think we can fastly update to latest and also no problem of showing no update on some phones

Update to 18.0 version. You can keep that sticker until screen protector arrives, it won't do any harm

Which screen protector did you buy btw?

Update to 18.0 version. You can keep that sticker until screen protector arrives, it won't do any harm

Which screen protector did you buy btw?

wow! thanks to you both for the info.

Dont know its good or not, I just avoided matte and low in amt. didn't have much time to research.

update: Also mine already in 16.0, when pressed on 'check for updates' it keep showing either 'there are no new updates' or 'you are on the latest version', what's this means? 18.0 isnt available or what?

Its a known error, occurring ever since they upgraded(?) this forum. try tapping repeatedly(if you still get error, just try same procedure after a few mins) or use another version.

Before deciding on Xiaomi, just wanted to know if there any bug in camera ? I'm reading about call drop issues ? is this common or only some users are facing this particular problem ? Has it been resolved ?

The bug is in Google Camera app when using HDR. I didnt encounter any call drop issues.

I read that, Aluminium back covers are problem for network signals. !!!

No issues with aluminium cover related to range,im getting the usual range at home ! and no issues with camera either

Yeah u cant use HDR in google camera,
apparently v22, though a global rom, was meant for malayasia , now back on v18, and the notifications are working fine and not much difference, though gps takes like 30 seconds or more to lock..was instantaneous earlier,

Any idea regarding what version of PIstons are going to be sold , as far as i have seen from pics posted ,all are silver coloured ones , which were v1 incidentally and all the reviews posted around the net are for v2
this could be a india specific model, i hope they release details soon, i need a new earphones badly :/

Xiaomi Mi3 Do’s, Don’t and Problems Solutions

If you have bought a new Xiaomi Mi3 or are planning to buy one here are certain things you are better off knowing beforehand. The post is meant for beginners, but if you are planning to buy Mi3, I am sure you can find a few points to benefit from irrespective of your Android experience. The guide was prepared by Xiaomi Malaysia group and compiles several issues faced by newbies.

Some Do’s

Remove the Display Cover:
After unboxing the device, first thing you should do is remove the display protector film. Some of you might be tempted to keep it under wraps for some time, but trust me that will mess with the proximity sensor and lead to abrupt call drops and other weird stuff. You are better off without it, especially because corning gorilla glass on the display ensures all the protection that you need.

Starting Mi3:
You can start the device by long pressing the power key. Keep it pressed till you see boot animation on your Mi3 screen Be careful with SIM Tray: Several users on MI Forum are reporting issues with the SIM card tray, so much that Xiaomi has posted a video tutorial on its India Facebook page to guide users through the process.

Restart after Inserting the SIM :
it is advisable to Restart after you have inserted the SIM card properly. Check if everything works. Make a few calls. In case of any discrepancy you can contact customer care or flipkart for timely replacement.

First time charging:
You might hear that you need to charge it for so and so hours for the first time, but that’s void of any merit. Just charge your phone till it reaches 100 percent. There are no strict rules with this.

Some Don’ts
---> Do Not Insert the SIM card without the SIM Tray, in case you damage the SIM Tray repairing costs can go as high as 9,500 INR which is around 70 percent of the original cost.

---> If sometime you remove your SIM card from the SIM tray, do not insert the tray back in without the SIM . The SIM Tray might get stuck inside according to what several other users have reported on MI Forums.

---> Do Not throw away the sticker on your phone: There is a sticker on your phone, you can remove it, but don’t throw it away. This might be required for warranty.

Solution to Some Common Problems
First thing to do, in case you encounter a vexing bug, is to restart your Mi3. Here are some other common problems and their solutions which you can benefit from.

Irregular Battery Drain: Lower the display brightness, turn off your GPS and install apps like Greenify or perhaps DS Battery Saver if you prefer something more aggressive.

Notification Problem: Go to your WiFi advanced settings and check the option to keep WiFi on during sleep. Also check for app settings as some apps require you to grant permission to display notifications.

WhatsApp Issues:
If you are having sync issues with WhatsApp contacts that is because you require to give it access to your contact list. Go to Setting >apps>whatapp>manage permission>access to contact list.

Instagram Loading Issues:

Turn off high quality image processing setting in Instagram Settings.
Touch ineffective while charging : In this case, un plug the device and restart it. In case the problem persist try using another data cable

Custom Ringtones Missing:
To see the custom ringtones you can go to music player and untick filters in settings.

Uninstall Themes:
Visit the page you used to apply theme and scroll down to find the Uninstall option.

Conclusion
Since MIUI on KitKat is still new, there will be several bugs which Xiaomi will address with its frequent updates. Xiaomi has a good reputation for listening to customer reviews which also saves it a fortune on R&D. If you are facing any other issues with the device, let us know in the comment section below.

V23 out showing 109mb anyone updated?

It disappeared now!!.. Weird :/

Is it possible to download torrents using utorrent and save it directly to a pendrive or external hard disk connected using OTG?I am used to downloading large torrent files mostly 8 to 15GB in size and since there's no option for sd card I wanted to know if this is possible.Can anybody try this i.e., to put the download location to the device connected through OTG and completely download a torrent file and check whether it is working the way it should be?

I am afraid I didn't get you.

*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilityflow.torrent

he meant this

C

I was saying that I am used to downloading through my phone using utorrent app to my sd card and I had a 32GB sd card ,there's no worry of running out of space since the size of torrent I used to download were usually in the range of 8-15GB.But because of only 13GB of free space and out of which I might have an available space of 6-7GB it won't be possible for me to download the torrent to my internal memory.So what I wanted to know was whether it is possible to connect a pen drive or portable HDD to the phone using an OTG cable and download the torrent to the pen drive or portable HDD.
The link was for a torrent downloading app.But I am already using utorrent on my current phone.Till now I was waiting for xiaomi to launch the 64GB variant of MI3 .But I am running out of patience now.

They won't be launching any 64gig version of mi3,in fact I think 64gb version hasn't been launched outside China, but mi4 they will,
Perhaps you should try to do it on some phone that supports USB otg, if it's possible,then I don't see a reason, not for it to work on mi3

On another note, there seems to be an alpha version of cyanogenmod, compiled by someone named cofface,that's a surprising development!!

EDit
Regarding GPS, prev on v18 and on my old mi3 i used to get instantaneous locks for GPS, now with the new one i had upgraded and rolled back to v18 but my gps takes a while to lock in, around 1 min may be using maps

BUt if we go into hardware and check satellites , it finds them pretty fast inside few seconds i wonder whats wrong !

Does Mi3 support OTG ? Please confirm.

Dude Google, the first link, when you do that, is link to a video demonstrating the same (by fonearena)

And as expected aluminium covers does interfere, as I found it was one of the reasons for the delayed satellite lock on my phone
Wifi and 3g I guess weren't affected that much

its just 12mb..

I'm gonna wait this time, this update showed up in updater app yesterday and after few minutes, it disappeared.. Now it's back again!! Any improvements?

I guess its different in size for the ones on 18 and 22. Even I'm gonna wait," why fix something when it ain't broken" policy!

yeah , i couldnt hold back decided to update from v18 to v23 using mi phone manager, dowloaded 109mb !! the new theme(mi4) is back lets see what all new stuff i run into, i seem to have issues with delayed messages from whatsapp in the previous version, need more testing in the new one :/

the boot animation has changed ,old one was better i guess
UPDATE
It's the same changelog I posted previously for v22, the ability to share the connected PCs internet is back

Ofcourse it does.

Most of the xiaomi mi3 from flipkart are being bought by scrupulous ebay sellers and they black market it for a huge profit. They even flaunt flipkart tag in there ebay listings. xiaomi mi3 | eBay

Well we can't do much about that can we, I mean they are just as lucky as anyone is.. Perhaps flipkart can disable the 30 day replacement warranty when you buy from resellers, I don't know if they can do anything else legal to prevent such practices

Flpkt can atleast increase the stock by 30000 units so, it will be available to 30% registered buyers. This is discourage the hoarding of ebay retailers.

okay here's the thing ..
i only got 12 MB of update. Why?
another issue, apps unable to use data connection or wifi connection when run in back group in locked mode. i have tried all the settings but to no avail. any one of u ppl here faced these issues ??? how to resolve it ????

12mb probably coz you were in v22,this was an incremental update!
Didn't get you regarding the issue?
You mean when your phone is locked you aren't getting any notifications etc?

B

Pl ans my noob question.
Regarding update, mine is on 16.0, can i update directly to this new 23 and what would be the file size!?

E

kamikaz said:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use whatsapp normally.
2. press back key to go to home screen.
3. Do something else
4. lock screen, keep it aside, and do your work for few mins, hours.
5. unlock screen to find zero notifications from whatsapp, gmail, mail, facebook, twitter, etc.
6. Open whatsapp.
7. mobile data/wifi gets active and new msgs are retrieved right away.

I hope i have made it clear.

yeah you can , about size i dont know , Use the updater app from your phone it will show the size for those who were updating from v18 its was 109mb and those from v22 it was 12 mb, yours could be higher ,i dont know ,check for yourself

Well i only have whatsapp ,which gives active notifications and i think i had that problem in v22 and after rolling back to v18 from that also, ie i had to open the app to get notifications

BUt now it seems ok,im not entirely sure ,but im getting notifications when screen is locked,(i always clear my ram)
May be try resetting your phone , going into your settings>reset or try resetting the app data

emailvarunchandak said:

you will lose the data, its as said it will be reset to its original state

what i do is go into backup&reset>factory data reset>select erase apps>but let the "erase stored content" option disabled and reset the phone
this way whatsapp will have all its history and other left in the phone (and any data that you have downloaded beside the apps) while all the apps will be removed and then you would have to start over installing from playstore, google apps (and other preinstalled ones) will be reset to the version you had when you bought the phone(they wont be removed) , you will also lose contacts,sms,call logs etc , use micloud or the built in backup app to save them

You mean from your previous phone or from the current version of Android to the updated one on mi3?if it's the latter when you update user data is not lost, but settings, theme etc are reset, which can be backed up using the backup app I think, if you want to restore from previous phone to mi3, you can try an app called smsbackupandrestore and use the same on mi3 to restore, well I haven't done it, but it should work

wow! thanks, actually i wanted the 2nd option, but ur 1st option is also helpful for future. i didnt knw that.
i'll give a try.

UPDATE: successfully transferred to mi3 as u told (smsbackup & restrore app).

Arrival of Chinese Phone Brands Sets Stage for Price War in India - WSJ

A very good observation :

Chinese handset companies will also need to build service centers. Indian consumers use their phones for a longer period than their global peers. Any new brands that can't fix broken phones are likely to get a bad reputation.

When I was traveling back home in public transport, I saw a guy using xiaomi mi3. He uses the phone with bar code tag on the top of the device. I think it can be removed right, it spoils the look of the phone, it makes him douche

Those who bought it, did changing windows time work?

Use your phone, via flipkart app that's better I think, add the item to your wishlist and then go to the page straight, anyway I bought on the first sale using the above mentioned way, when the site wasn't optimized so can't comment much

AFAIK, all the international markets xiaomi is selling the metallic grey version, these units are produced pretty new too,if you had got hand on one you would know !

This 8274B chip was designed for China initially during the launch in 2013, but the product website and announcement went for the 8974B chip; but when users started receiving 8274B people started complaining and Xiaomi/MI had to apologise for the mix up.. So its indirectly known that 8274B is plenty in stock else how would a company who has constraints on their manufacturing process conduct 4 straight sales even which Hugo has talked about the constraints on manufacturing!

No offense @kamikaz , even before you posted if you had a look at the thread you'd know I was the only one who could show some efforts to show what really happens behind a well crafted product, neither none of the others users seem worried, including you; might be a personal choice to let data loose! I get hardly 1GB of data from stupid telecos in India, and do you expect I should give that up for some wrong reasons?

^^8274AB is Snap 800 and 8974AB is Snap 801 if I m not wrong

[MENTION=2108]abracadabra[/MENTION] your source link isn't opening for me
Look, your allegations are based on assumptions,
Having used the phone for over two weeks, I don't really feel like this a phone they are trying to dump here, in fact this has been the model of business in all the nation's they have released, and Hugo Barra points about the demand being much higher than the original expectation looks a more sensible explanation than anything others have come up, it's just not the chipset alone that defines the production capacity, for example you can check the YouTube video of how an mi4 is made, that doesn't really look easy and fast (it was sold out in 32seconds)

Bottom line is neither you nor I can conclusively say we are correct, but of the two side of arguement, mine looks saner and logical .. So I'm just leaving this at that. If you aren't convinced let's just agree to disagree and move on

Mind if somebody answer this q?
It takes 5-6hrs to charge from 5-95 or 100% when I connected my mi3 to desktop usb. Is it normal or is there something wrong? pl ans.

Charging is slower, if you connect it to PC and the first few cycles also tend to be slower it has taken upto 4 hours for me, then it speeds up to about 2-2.5 hours

Xiaomi is focusing only on Mi3 in India right now and I think Mi4 will be sold only in 2015 :-(

Mi3: released in 2013 and sold in 2014 in India
Mi4: released in 2014 and sold in 2015 in India

similarly when you have to remove the protective screen from the new phone, but without doing it complaining that my screen is broken is called Idiot [douche]
IMO having a bar code on a beautiful furnished back on a phone is idiot[douche]
I never pointed my finger on any one here, so peace out

Did your notification problem got fixed?
I have a minor bug now, when I'm using Firefox beta my whatsapp ceases to function I'll have to open whatsapp again to get any notifications!

And can any nexus user tell me how much free ram they usually have? And the version of Android you have, Kitkat or Android L

Charging is slower, if you connect it to PC and the first few cycles also tend to be slower it has taken upto 4 hours for me, then it speeds up to about 2-2.5 hours

Thanks, perhaps its same in every case.

one more q? I'm not able to copy any files to my mi3 from computer thru USB connection.

I've already installed their suite, converted language to english by replacing files, browsing/using PCs net on mob but cant able to paste any files (for time being copied from pendrive thru OTG) and not yet updated to 23, still i'm in 16

.

Got some amazing scores that beats phones costing Rs 45000 and above. After getting that awesome Antutu Score thought of doing the Quadrant and 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited and to clear my doubt if the Antutu wasnt a fluke! And boy I was proved so wrong time after time!!!!

On a side note guys all of us who own the Mi3 why don't we put up our Antutu Quadrant and 3D Mark Unlimited scores. I think its a great idea. Though synthetics doesn't hold much but for the little it does.

Hello all! I was lucky enough to get mi3 last week. I've noticed something that someone here had. I think that my phone 'so top is brighter than bottom. Is it OK or should I go for replacement?

It is with All Mi3, no need to worry

That seller is just ripping people off in name of Powerbanks. I would go for that trusted eBay seller.

The kind of excact copy fakes you get from eBay,more so with Mi stuff I would rather stay with Flipkart for just a Rs Pizza difference after the SBI discount. If not in a hurry I would ask people to wait for Mi to launch officially. Waiting for the Pistons. Hope they are available soon.

Its not the same for all Mi3s. I han't faced such an issue. If the difference is too much,he should go for a replacement as another member in the forum did.

The issue isn't much . Wouldn't have noticed it if someone here hadn't reported. So what should I do?
Or maybe I'm being too skeptical of phone.

Run LCD test. Download Antutu or others which has LCD test screens. Or get a white background wallpaper,Get the brightness to maximum and check if the brightness issue persists. Use the fone with less than 25% brightness for the first 7 days and check if the issues persists ask for a replacement. If you see on a certain scenario that the screen is appearing dark below turn around the fone with auto rotation to check if the orientation shifts the darkness or keeps it there. If it stays there change the fone. 3 Steps try them out first before going for a replacement.

Everything seems to be fine. I checked my friend mi3 . both were similar in brightness regards.The antutu is also fine with lcd test. The little more brightness is just in about 2 mm of the top. Rest is quite uniform.

I think a lot of sets has this problem. Look here one of the cons listed by Trusted Reviews - The Latest Technology News and Reviews is Inconsistent screen backlight.

Here is the link > Xiaomi Mi3 review | Mobile Phones

The one issue we have is something often seen in screens where QA isn’t water-tight – panel uniformity. Down at the bottom of the display there’s a greyer/darker area that’s not as well-served by the Xiaomi Mi3’s backlight LEDs, and there's a short brighter strip up at the top where those LEDs sit. However, the effect is fairly minor, and only something nit-pickers will notice. It’s just not perfect.

hey bro dont have thw words that how could i say thanks to u. for posting this link :razz:

R

Just placed an order for Xiaomi Mi3 !

[MENTION=128941]Assassini[/MENTION]
Ah well, I was the one with the brightness issue, I got mine replaced, to be fair the replacement isn't perfect either though the bottom edge isn't dark as it was in the first phone,it has a bit of unevenness, & the top is still brighter like he said just about. 5-1mm and that too only in white pages in full screen,even more the current unit has a bit of yellow banding too, (I think I have hung around those OPO forums too much :S)
I guess I didn't wanna go through another replacement process,

Should get it replaced if the brightness is apparent even outside white images, that would be a lot of back light bleed, otherwise it's upto you
And mi3 forum on xda that's great news, as I told before someone have already ported cyanogenmod

Regarding the pistons, there is a silver coloured v2 pistons, they are If tagged too
So the ones going to be sold here could be v2 after all

A

Has anyone encountered issue with touch while CHARGING. It's weird and sometimes unresponsive but completely fluid when on battery

Well I try not to use when charging, but the few times I have, it didn't give any problems, this was a problem in my old phone though! (i9003),btw which version are you on? Try updating to latest update and see if that resolves the issue!

A

I'm on23.let me explain the issue. It's not during regular swipes or browsing but when u use swipe gestures on keyboard. Sometimes they aren't responsive which makes the word we are trying to type something else

try to update and while you are connected ,under the notification panel make sure the option is set to files and not PHOTOS
and mi3w will be listed as portable music player(in my win7), but you will be able to copy pretty much all stuff

heating is free with snap dragon..

Heating in upper part is common. Don't worry about it. It has Snapdragon 800 after all, at least its not becoming impossible to hold like Z2 or N5

Even my Xperia Z used to heat up. Lenovo K900 heats up. Lenovo S920 Toaster. So you see that from Snapdragon to Intel to Mediatek all heats up. Now with Snapdragon 800 its a lot less and stays within a certainlimit and dosnt exceed as with the Mi3 for others the threshold is higher,as per my user experience.

Is it okay to swap sim cards frequently ?I bought mi3 this Tuesday n will hopefully receive it by next Tuesday. I am having 2 regular sims on my 2 phones-galaxy s and wave 2.I use one for internet and the other for calling etc.My galaxy s is dead so I could only use my wave 2 as 3g WiFi hotspot. But the 3g speed has a limit of around 3.2mbps on my wave 2 and I get around 10-11mbps when I put my sim on a xperia J.I heard that there is some difficulty in inserting the sim in mi3,so wanted to know whether it is okay to swap sims every 2-3 days.

A weekend project for Xiaomi users

You can do so many things with your Xiaomi Mi 3 smartphone – enjoy Full HD videos on the 5″ IPS display, take a wonderful 13MP pictures with its camera, play the latest 3D games hassle-free courtesy of the Snapdragon 800 chipset, or listen unlimited music via the Baidu Online Music Service.

*cdn.gsmarena.com/pics/14/08/xiaomi-mi-3-bus/gsmarena_001.jpg

But it is surely not such a good idea to throw your beautiful Xiaomi Mi 3 covered in polycarbonate shell and Gorilla Glass 3 under a bus. Someone did this and the result isn’t peachy.

If you can’t take smartphone violence, then skip the video below.

So, if you own a Xiaomi Mi 3 just don’t throw it under a bus, a car or a truck. It won’t survive in a lake either, nor will live after a close encounter with a hammer, bullet or whatever you can think. Blender is not an option, too. It’s better to enjoy it the way it was meant to be used.

Our Xiaomi Mi 3 review has already entered the final stages and will pop up on our homepage later today. Hopefully it will make up for this violent video.

According to the video I posted about miui 6 is 4.4.4. Not sure read from comments

Unfortunately, the brightness of the screen is uneven with the backlight source being pretty visible at the top of the screen. When you have a white page opened on the screen you can easily notice the gradual brightness falloff from top to bottom. On the positive side, that's only visible with a full-on white or gray screen - in any other case it's as good as invisible.

By the time oneplus reach india there will be Mi4 in india and oneplus will have 2nd phone coming out. So it will be useless to buy an old phone. Biggest advantage that xiaomi has over oneplus is that it has service centres in india and it will tale atleast one or two years for oneplus to open any service Centres. Also flash sale gives equal opportunity yo everyone for buying xiaomi. Whereas with invite system, you have to beg on forums, stay active on forums, take part in contest and be their PR agents. You don't have to do that with xiaomi. I did got my oneplus invite day before yesterday. But gave it away. Don't want oneplus anymore. Lot of threads starting on oneplus forums where oneplus users are selling their phone because of to many problems and support team taking almost a month to give them replies.

I just received mi3.I want to know how to transfer files from over to the phone. I installed mi3 manager and I am using Windows xp. Even after installing the manager I'm not able to enable mass storage. I went into the storage option in settings but the USB storage is like "already pressed". I haven't updated as I am on 3g right now.

I don't think mass storage is possible for internal memory. Wait i am sure mass storage is not possible for internal memory.
Before you say that you had phone which was able to mount internal storage as mass memory. Its not possible. Those phones have two partition. One acts like internal and one acts as external. The other one has no system files that's y they have mass storage mode. Mi3 doesn't have two partition so only MTP mode. (As far as i know it has only one partition. But if it has two only then mass storage mode is possible)

from gsmarena review

The Xiaomi Mi 3 is aiming at the proper flagship territory and it's facing some pretty serious rivals when it comes to audio reproduction qualities. The smartphone will have to prove itself against the likes of Samsung Galaxy S5 and, more notably, the HTC One (M8).
Unfortunately, the Mi 3 just doesn't have the skills to be anywhere near the level required to fight it out for the best music player around. Its performance with an active external amplifier was a mixed bag, combining below-par volume levels with disappointingly high stereo crosstalk and distortion levels and less than stellar frequency response. The other readings were good, but they weren't enough to salvage more than a mediocre performance.

I hope they fix the sound quality with software update otherwise, it would be waste of good hardware.

Don't trust these review or news blindly. I have seen on more then one occasions of them spreading false news. I gave them tip and they still modified and gave false news. Almost all tech sites followed that path. Only one tech site published the true story. Its all paid. They take money from big companies and favor their phones.

Thanks Kamikaz. Do mention if you find any bugs while using it along the way.

I think the phone touchscreen behaves weird when you plug it in, depending on the power source; it's fine when I'm using from my home, but yesterday while traveling I plugged into the outlet in train and tried to use it, screen wasn't even responding, funny thing is I plugged in my friends phone, a Lenovo one! And his too didn't respond! (phone was fine when you disconnected it)

Most of the smartphone behave that way. My galaxy s3, my sister's grand duos and my mom's galaxy s duos. All when plugged into unreliable power sources, their screen becomes unresponsive or phone starts registering touches by itself. All over the screen. Normally this happens after phone reaches 100% and u still use unreliable power source. But sometimes power source is so unstable that it happens as soon as you plug it in.
Other reasons are bad battery, bad charger, power source (u already know), bad charging port basically anything that is power related.

no... its the grounding issue...

emailvarunchandak said:

Grounding = related to power. And how do you explain one phone working perfectly well and other not using same power source or it only cause problem after full charge.(overcharging)
Or how the same power outlet becomes okay if you change your charger or accessories.

Grounding can also lead to it but grounding is not the only thing that causes this problem. Some people face it even when they are not charging their phone.

On Rom 18 it does happen but to negligible extent that too with the keypad not registering keypresses once or twice.Maybe my typing errors who knows!Now my power lines are very clean and separate with insulation and proper grounding since I connect my power conditioner to that outlet for my stereo. With the powerbank Mi10400 its non existent. But I heard an unreliable power bank damages the battery,the Mi 100 is a good design,its designed by Texas Instruments and the Cell is ether by Samsung or LG!!! I received mine today awesome finish and super cool looking !

Mi 10400 received it today!

what if logged in 30minutes or 1hrs before?

You don't have to login two hours before as they say , for me i was already logged in as I haven't logged out from previous sessions ,
What i did was , I got into flipkart at 1:57pm, then at 30sec before the end of countdown, refreshed the page, clicked buy now right when it appeared ,and then wait for flipkart to show confirmation message ,that was it.I might have been just lucky who knows !
And I have flipkart first subscription, not sure whether that helped !

its original ,just verified it on nillkin website!
[MENTION=165219]emailvarunchandak[/MENTION] does this affect the noise cancelation or audio in anyway ?

If your mic next to the flash and on top is covered then of course noise cancelation is compromised.

Regarding the nillkin tempered glass ,the oleophobic coating is not exactly the best ,finger print still accumulates on it ,but marginally better compared to stock glass !

they are planning a giveaway for 10 redmi phones at the launch/facebook promo. I also think they'll have to promote these more than mi3 because average joe in India buying a 6-7k phone gets swayed away by Samdung and Microcrap ads.

I really hope they do release MI3/Redmi 1s locally.
Redmi 1s does lag I saw in some vidoes, but maybe as those ones are the mediatek ones? Or maybe they are on android 4.3? Miui 6 might make it smoother

- - - Updated - - -

One more thing.
So far 20k units get sold out in 2-3 secs, which is really fast compared to other countries sales,I don't really think the entire 20k units are sold.Flipkart might be building an Inventory for future sales and selling only 5-10k phones out of the 20k?
So maybe in 1 month or so they can have roughly 50k units to sell

Xiaomi Mi 4 review: One 4 All|GSMArena

GSMArena said:
...the Xiaomi Mi 4 and its Snapdragon 801 chipset deliver excellent performance and provide hiccup-free gaming and blazing-fast Android + MIUI experience just as its predecessor - the Xiaomi Mi 3. This means that if the upgraded chipset is your sole reason for upgrade from the Mi 3, might as well keep your Mi 3 for yet another year. It's an equally good performer for all practical purposes.

To me Mi4 is not a big upgrade over the .i3, or its not upgrade at all unless priced a Rs 3K over the Mi3 for the 64 GB model.

no they are selling full units minus the units needed for replacement..

people are using automated scripts which allows them to buy it in 0.3 secs on a fast connection..

its not only individual buyers that are buying but resellers in many quantities from different accounts as well which are selling them on ebay/olx for profit margins..

this phone is hyped more than apple / moto g / and samsung products so selling out in 3-5 sec is normal especially when you have this less inventory and all india sales exclusive to fk .. plus also remember there is 1 week time in between sales .. this increases the demand much more

motorola sold 10,00,000 units in 5 months , moto g share would have been 6,00,000-7,00,000 units in 5 months meaning around 1,20,000-1,30,000 units per month

and xiaomi has managed 70,000 in 1 month due to limited supply while having 3-4x more demand than moto G, so its not surprising it is going out in 5 sec

plus no phone would be released locally as it would require giving dealers/distributors margin and xiaomi is only online sales in most other countries and very few offline sales as well that is why they are able to sell it so cheaply with no advertisements and middlemen costs

Redmi 1s priced at 5999!!

Hey now I understand why so many people are angry about the buying situation. I tried to buy one for my uncle today. Had the page opened long beforehand. Even refreshed it a couple of times to make sure it was still there

When the counter hit zero I instantly clicked on the Buy Now button that appeared and boom it said it was out of stock. I mean it wasn't even a full second of time. I don't know how people are managing to buy this. I'm glad I bought it with my priority pass.

I got Mi3

Ordered it

When did you order for your cousin? Last week?
BTW Redmi 1S is priced at Rs.5999 making it the best phone to buy below 10k. Once again awesome pricing. Let's hope they give priority passes for this one too so that I can buy one for my mom

I ordered MI3 today and chose Cash on Delivery. I said yes to confirm cash on delivery to the computer call. In the "order details" it is in the
approval stage and says "your order has been placed" and "seller yet to confirm" is not checked.
Now I want to know if my order can still get cancelled or there is 100% surity that i will receive it. Is COD given last concern.

I would like to share my Mi3 buyng experience. (It may help future buyers of Redmi 1s or Mi3)
It was the 6th sale today and I tried for the first time.
There was a power cut so i was unable to start my pc and it was just not possible on my phone, tried arranging for a laptop but failed. I just wanted to see if I can bag one(not that I didnt want the phone but I had money issues). There was some charge left in the inverter(battery).Usually I shut down my pc rightaway, but i knew it will hold around 5-7 minutes. I opened Current local time in India to see the actual time. I decided it was best to sync with the exact actual time right upto the very second. I didnt jump my system's time.I think its server sided now anyway.
I switched on my PC at 1:56 pm exactly (I am always logged in on flipkart but flipkart wasnt open in any browser on mobile PC or anything so I didnt log in 2-3 hours before ). Thought I wont make before 2:00 pm to the site.At 1:58 pm I was at the desktop. Then it took another 15-30 seconds to open unnecessary stuff automatically (onscreen keyboard, pspdisp, connectify and stuff).I connected phones net to PC over Wifi (was using idea 3g). Then I opened Mozilla then flipkart. When flipkart loaded counter was at 55 seconds.I opened one more tab of the same. Kept refreshing between those 2. When 22 seconds were left I did last refresh on one tab and at 10 seconds on the other. Former tab was fine but in the latter after refreshing at 10 seconds it showed 12 seconds. So I was left with one. Just when counter hit )0:0:0 I clicked at the area where buy now would appear (I saw it before the click) and I only did it once. At this time I was worried that PC may switch off (Inverter was doing its last minutes of power). While at the wait, do not refresh screen, power came back. I went onto the other tab clicked buy on it too, after few seconds it was showing "you already purchased one", wait screen was in progress though. I waited for some 4-5 minutes and it said "it wasnt added to your cart but we have reserved one for you". I refreshed for a couple of times in other tab and It was in the cart.

I watched the previous sale to see how fast it really goes out of stock. I was using a phone and continously refreshing (live countdown was not possible on the phone so I was continously refreshing) and I didnt even see the buy button.It went straight from you are registered 0:0:2 seconds left to out of stock.

“The next few things that we will be launching are Mi 4, our flagship product; Mi pad, which is a tablet and Mi Band, a health band. Mi 4 will come to India towards the end of the year, post-Diwali in all likelihood,” Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi’s India head of operations, told IANS in an interview

R

now people will be selling mi3 for 20,000-23000 rs on ebay and olx due to shortage...

they buy at 14k use 1 month get bored and sell it off for 20,000 .. what a dream for them.. resellers on cloud 9 going :bananana:

Mi4 thats a smart move then, i will take back my word

many people on Youtube are regretting buying Mi3 thinking its a discontinued product. I am sure support and development will continue, and Xiomi will probably start selling it again... Last thing one would want is the Service Center ppl saying "sorry cant repair its discontinued". happened with our Samsung PICTURE TUBE TV and my Samsung Galaxy Ace.

A good move. By the time they are going on with the RedMi sale they can stock more Mi3 than these weekly sales numbers of now.

R

i don't think they will bring back Mi3 simple reason i think that the SD800/sd 801 chip used in Mi3 might have been discontinued , and the left stock of those chips will go to Service centers in case phones need replacements .. they will directly bring Mi4 for 17,000 rs by the year end..

Guys I tried to connect an 8 GB pen drive to my mi3 using an otg cable.But the phone was showing "damaged USB" error.It was in NTFS format at that time.I then formatted it to fat 32 and copied a movie into it and again connected it .This time it recognized the pen drive but I didn't know how to access the file inside the pen drive so I removed and inserted it again.And like earlier it is showing damaged USB error.I tried installing total commander and USB plug in.Don't have another pen drive with me to try with. Anyone else faced the same problem?

Updated to ROM 23, email and attachment options for various apps improved significantly. That's the observation till now. I wish they did something about RAM management, though the phone is fast as a rocket but its disheartening to see RAM consumption at over 1.3 GB anytime any day.

Miui v6 developer version will be released today,I think they have implemented zram there

This post creates second thought about buying mi3. Mine will arrive on 6 sept. 2014 . Please guys say something about these issues Xiaomi Mi 3 Expectations and Reality - Read this Before you Buy - Tech Glows

Well just pray you don't get a defective product ,apart from that ,the damaged phones you see aren't exclusive to xiaomi alone, if you go to XDA and check you can see plenty of other brands having similar issues ,the chances of getting a defective product are same which ever brand you buy ,if you are going to focus on the negative points, alone, in life its going to be hard moving forward ,that said the ASS of xiaomi is still infantile and in short poor ATM ,if you get a defective product do your best to convince flipkart to get it replaced , for genuine reasons they do,I did for mine !
You can head over to flipkart product page and see the reviews there are almost 2k 5 star reviews and around 200 1 star ,some of them are due to down right ignorance ,I would simply categorize posts like above as attempts to gather cheap attention ,probably one of the frustrated people who didn't get to buy one ,if you go around reading different tech forums ,you can see a lot of similar ones ,In fact in OPO Indian subsection you can see a couple ..

First of all thankyou kamikaz
1 point--> made my worries go. I know it happens with other brands but dont know how much common it is, and the fact that xiaomi is new ,chinese and 100k mi3s have been sold, highlight the negativity through those defective ones. I was worried about spare parts if they discontinue mi3 in india, I mean we will have to replace batteries at some point.
2 point--> I know its done to increase site traffic, get ads, get fame etc. I didnt follow what he wrote but what he reported those fb and flipkart posts.
I know you had your mi3 replaced because of uneven brightness(backlight bleeding, top area was brighter than bottom visible on a white page) which is common as told in gsmarena review of mi3. I have been following this thread ,read all those 32 pages. Most of the guys here have almost flawless mi3s.

The backlight issue is just little nit picking ,I doubt most don't even realize it ,unless they scrutinize it ,mi3 isn't discontinued ATM ,and they certainly should honor the 1 year warranty, from what Hugo barra has told its clear ,they aim to make it big here ,and they are planning to increase the official service centres.
ATM we can only hope for the best

Im getting call drops and having network reception issues after upgrading to ROM 23. The Sync sign in notification panel stays on and won't go!

Try selecting ,just one kind of network ie either 3g onlyor 2g only ,
For sync issues ,for me its usually caused by gmail ,going into the app and manually refreshing it would fix ,you can go into settings of phone and under the accounts you have selected to sync you can see which app is trying to sync and do something about it

Guys tell me the DOs after I first switch on my phone ex: setting the brightness below 20% for the first week that you guys did and
Other things that I should do after getting the phone.

Thanks , I always have it in 3G only but even then the issue persists. It wasn't there on ROM18. I'll check about the sync as explained by you. But these are bugs. They should do something about them. Ram management is as bad as it can get. Its something they should seriously look in to.

It looks like a software bug but still they are giving replacement. If you try "SECRET VIDEO RECORDER " app and set audio source to main or mic, the hissing greatly reduced.

And I didn't get the priority pass,I was late to register after all :/

Never really bothered to record a video until now,I barely use the feature ,anyway did a 30sec video record in pitch black right now ,apart from the sound of frogs croaking its silent here ,I'm getting a sound ,similar to the noise of static , I don't know whether its a hardware or software problem ,never bothered to check ,but I have seen this as a complaint in miui official forums as well as other places and as I have said before its yet to be fixed ,you should head over to official forum and ask there
On another note CM beta is released ,everything is working except the barometer ,anyone here tried ?

Never really bothered to record a video until now,I barely use the feature ,anyway did a 30sec video record in pitch black right now ,apart from the sound of frogs croaking its silent here ,I'm getting a sound ,similar to the noise of static , I don't know whether its a hardware or software problem ,never bothered to check ,but I have seen this as a complaint in miui official forums as well as other places and as I have said before its yet to be fixed ,you should head over to official forum and ask there
On another note CM beta is released ,everything is working except the barometer ,anyone here tried ?

you are being contacted by an alien force or something ??? you using a back cover ??

Android is linux...

Difference Between Android and Linux | Difference Between | Android vs Linux

Although Android is developed based on Linux, the operating system does not completely use the standard Linux kernel. Android architecture supports only two types of architecture at this point in time, viz: x86 and ARM. However, the Linux kernel supports different types of architectures including the x86 architecture which is most commonly used in desktop/laptop/server systems. The Android system uses x86 architecture for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and an ARM platform for mobile phones.

While developing the Android operating system, a few features were added to the Linux kernel which include: an alarm driver, kernel debugger, logger, power management, and Android shared memory driver. These enhancements were built on top of the standard Linux kernel.

"Pestering", how many times did you reply to my query. You come here read my posts and you know you have the issue but still you dont help and now the first reply you make is that i am pestering you. If you dont want to help thats absolutely fine. But let me get help. If this is pestering you ignore it like you did to my queries.

You are not begging to resolve, but you come here and talk about your cover, drilling hole in it, you dont have priority pass but you will still order redmi, or that you got another mi3. Whats the point of tech forum if one cannot talk about the real issues.

I had to ask the same query few times before getting replies.
This used to be a better place.
Where EVERYONE could get help.

This thread is about Xiaomi Discussion which includes what i have asked/mentioned and what you have asked/mentioned. And I didnt say you cannot talk about the real/technical issues, etc. If not me, someone else would have said it. However, people are helping you, yet you are consistent.. anyways, I don't want to ruin this good thread by such incessant et ceteras.

Oh yes, thanks to everyone who has helped someone in one way or the other.

You didnt help but still you took the time and came up with those comments.
So you know what anyone else could have said ?
You didnt say I cannot talk about the real/technical issues, not directly you didnt.
If you don't want to ruin this good thread by such incessant et ceteras, then dont comment like you did on Anyone again.

Yes early access is today.

I came to know from Mi India FB page that there is some glitch in flipkart's servers causing a delay in adding the 1S to our cart. Flipkart has also said that those who received the priority access email will get the phone added to their carts shortly. I just hope it's before 7 PM so that I can get it by tomorrow.

BTW 10400mah power bank and Piston 2 now available. Grab yours till stocks last

OK now it's opening in my cart. They have listed a micro-SIM adapter and a screen guard as freebies. But the biggest disappointment is that it says it will ship by 13th Sep and no faster delivery options are available. I mean are you fuc*in kidding me right now? After a whole day of such bulls*it they won't even deliver my phone the next day? I'll wait till tomorrow before ordering to see if anything changes.

If anyone else has it in their cart please share what your estimated delivery date is.

Thanks for the tip about Pistons ,ordered one ! Hope its v2

"We couldn’t add your Redmi 1S to cart yet, but we’ve reserved one for you!
Please come after 15 mins to complete the order."

Congrats to all who bought. I have one in my cart and I'll order it after some time today.

Try mobile app, it worked without any issues.

For those who failed to buy, use "buyHatke" browser add-on next time. I can't say how much exact it's effort was, but it indeed helped me to buy. What it does, that it adds the phone in your cart right at 2:00 and then you can straightaway do payment.

Finally!!!

I was using :flamewar:

Mozilla first and got the no payment page redirection issue :pullhair:

(tried it 4 times but no success)

then used Chrome and got the order confirmed successfully :bananana:

payed through my HSBC VISA card

will be delivered by Monday 15 sep

i got this option from my friend last week...and I believe it works though I had kept this as last option to try (if I wud have not succeeded in 1st sale)

Order went through using CoD .. The 1S is for my sis-in-law

And that damn thing was happening in chrome in my case. At once, I thought that the culprit was the add-on, but now I see the full story.

Those who failed could have asked me...Next time you can...I promise I wont charge extra money

Just that your address should be applicable for COD

^Well, I don't know how FK is calculating delivery criteria for addresses as it showed my address to be ineligible (come on, I am in National capital !! ), and my friend's address which is stone's throw away from my home is eligible with same colony and same pin code and everything.

PS: I have ordered on my address in past and it was a success.

Some questions about Redmi 1S.
1. Which glass does it have ? Gorilla or Dragon Tail ? is DragonTail good enough ?
2. The dual Sim are GSM and other WCDMA ? and is there 3g on GSM ?
3. How much free RAM is available ?i've heard MIUI takes up a hecking lot of RAM ?
4. Is this device getting some ROM support in near future ? or at least and android update ?

How did you manage to open page if left click was not working ? Or you could not open page atall? For me, it was my first attempt and it ended in failure. Not disappointed, but I next time will try in better way.

It happened last time also, during the last sale of Mi 3.... i sat on the same computer.. did the same drill and today it again happened...

anyways, I will be going to order using my mobile app next time.... lets see what happens.

btw, all the best for the next time

1. yes DragonTail is the brand similar to the Gorilla Glass by Corning Incorporated... it is some chinese brand. Some phone which have used this branded glass are Xperia Z/Z1/Z2, Galaxy Nexus and other Xolo, Lava,etc
2. yes one WCDMA sim only will support 3g . other phone can utilise one 2g from other sim card.
3. 400MB is available. Yes it eats a lot of RAM.. serious -ve point.
4. Can't say at point of time.. ideally there should be some custom ROM available in future. And Xiaomi has announced that they will be giving an update in December for next android release.

Almost all dual SIM phones support 3G in only 1 slot. The only difference being that some phones allow 3G to be activated on both the slots while some restrict that to a specific slot and this seems to be the case with Redmi.

pulkitpopli2004 said:

Its Dragontrail not Dragontail. It is made by Asahi. Its a Big Japanese Company. Very highly respected for making one of the finest glasses in the world.Its owned by Mitsubishi now. Very well known in the automotive industry too. Corning is a smaller entity in front of Asahi.

If anyone has one in their cart but don't require, then I'd appreciate if they could order it to my address.

I am in college till 7pm and there is no network coverage so can't purchase. Also, if anyone could register for the 9th Sept sale and order a piece for me, it would be great. Thanks.

redmi 1s is a really great device!! way too good processor & camera for sucha price.

The only downgrade is Ram managment.. the miui takes up a lot of ram.. 60% and this causes a slight lag,heat.. other than that.. the mobile outshines.. :-D

if you charge your phone with high ampere rating charger [ex:2A] but your phone has low ampere rating [Ex:1A] then phone will take what it deserve to take. So iits safe for the phone as well as battery

It turns off automatically you just need to remove the power cord from both the ports.The button is for reset.
Correct me if i am wrong.

It turns off automatically if there's no activity. The LEDs will do long blink and switch off. Since I bought the imported one with all instruction in Chinese had a hard time!

Will do a small review of the Pistons once I recieve them.

Hi.. which video player are you using other than the stock?
I tried two HD video palyer and Mobo video player but, both were failed to open after installing in my mi3.

Try MX player ?

HEy guyz im going to but a mobile . can you guyz tell me which one is better from RedMi 1s or Moto E ? i've heard that only 400mb free ram is available in RedMi ? how much is there in MOTO E ?

When your choice is between moto e and redmi 1s ,you should definitely wonder what are you gonna do with all that extra ram you are trying to salvage ,jokes aside redmi 1s is the better phone there ,hands down,the whole package is good

If you are developer you can go in for 1s!
But if you are a regular guy stick to Moto!

Guys, do you think Gorilla Glass of xiaomi mi3 needs a screen protector ? Which one are you using ?

Well if you try to choke a phone it would suffocate ,for a daily regular use ,I don't think miui "suffocates " redmi 1s, I think part of the lag can be blamed on it still being on jellybean ,they have promised update to KitKat ,which could address the ram issues ,at the same price , you are getting a better specced phone and with a more than decent camera and flash ,the software issues can be ironed out in future
Here's a direct comparison
Xiaomi Redmi 1S vs Moto E: Clash of the budget champs Tech2 Mobile [MENTION=146650]nikhilsharma007nikx[/MENTION]
I don't have any tricks mate get online from a relatively new computer which offers snappy browsing ,and stable net ,refresh the screen around 20sec before sale and click right on time ,when buy button appears and then hope
I also forgot to mention about android one ,its gonna be announced next week ,I suggest if you can wait for it and see how the phone turns out ,could be better ,who knows

Android one ? hmm ..indian contendors ? i would be better of a RedMI

Well, get redmi first! (if you can, as flipkart is not willing to do so)
As google is going to provide full software, hardware manufacturers too have to meet some standards.

TPU case for Mi Powerbank!
How will it affect my phone design?

--------------------

That's what I said to OP!
If he can root 1s a perfect go!

Or for regular use go with Moto E!

Im inclined towards the RedMI just because of a lot better Screen and Camera. Also rooting is not going to void warranty.
And i also liked the design, much better than Moto E IMO, but moto E's stock android is also attracting me.
Im confused.

Dropped my Mi3 on a vitrified tile floor. The phone fell flat on its screen with no screen protector or case. No damage whatsoever. B|

delivery date for my order on 2nd Sept is 16th sept.

One can surely arrange 6k between that period for COD.
also you can pay till 11:59 PM on 10th if ordered successfully at 2 PM on 9th

But i have a cheque dated 20th so i cant pay that easily. Do i have to pay for the unit as soon as i put it to cart? or i can avial COD option on 15 th and then pay ?

COD is cash on delivery, i.e pay at the time delivery.

I don't think you'll get delivery before 20th if you order on 9th. You'll have to select a payment option before 11:59 pm on 10th to complete the order.

Skyh3ck said:

COD is available.

Adding to cart does not mean purchase, you'll have to click purchase from cart to get it. But be sure adding to cart does not guarantee its availability at the time of purchase later. Else a lot of us would have kept Mi3 or Redmi in our cart for months.

dont know how its going to perform, one of my co worker has Mi3, and so far its good,

had already wasted money on xolo q700, which died withing 6 months,

anyone got their phone yet, please put some words here

Well, ill try and have this product on 9th and if im able to get it on my cart, ill try to get Hold of money, if not then god knows.
Well, will there be any other sale for the RedMi 1s after 9th sept ?

If someone wants redmi, i can again try my good luck in next sale and order for the intended person.

My review on Piston 2 is up

Redmi 1S sale will continue at least until Redmi Note launches in October.

Successfully sold off a spare Xolo Q1000 Opus @ 6k so now I'm trying to gets Redmi 1S. Any tips?? Is flipkart app useful?

Is it ok if I try to book from one single account from different locations. I'll be outdoors so will be on Flipkart APP & my sis in law will try from her off. PC.

please share your experiences. Timing of Flash sale is bit odd.

Received Mi Pistons today. Undoubtedly the best in its class, but not working with Nokia feature phones(My C3-00 and mom's Nokia 112) and my 2yr old Beetel phone. SM ES18 worked quite well with all the phones but Piston isnt. I think these Phones are not able to provide sufficient power to the earphones.
But it works if I keep pressing the Play/Pause button.
Also works absolutely fine with all smartphones.

1mbps from morning 7 to evening 7 & 1.5 mbps from evening 7 to morning 7.

I just kept refreshing the page continuously from 1 min left untill it reached 3 sec left & just clicked on buy now but it took almost 1 min to add in cart. BTW I was active on mobile too...

Got my redmi delivered. It was a surprise as i didn't get any shipping notification.

can you tell me what actually happened just after you clicked Buy Now ? Did the button vanish, or was it present and it vanished after a minute ??

For me, I clicked on Buy Now, the button didn't vanish, nor anything happened, waited for around 1 minute, then I logged off..

S

when i clicked buy now button, it said congrats wait till we add phone to your cart and after 2 minutes again it said we couldnt add to your cart but a piece has reserved for me.
After 5 minutes i checked my cart it was there & ordered it. I had logged in from 11a.m.

If nobody needs it I'm there!

Got my pistons today,, it's v2.1 the impedance is 16ohm, 2.0 have 12 ohm
Play around with the tips, the fit helps with quality of music to certain extent

first impressions, they are definitely good but it hasnt evoked any wow response from me ,not yet
back when i bought sennheiser ,that was when i went really wow, when i started hearing sounds in songs that i never knew existed.. this is coming close

Bye Hatke or any other extension will not work, because the URL is dynamicallly generated by flipkart with random numbers. Only manual method of clicking will work. Buying using code/program will work only if you know Action URL of Bye Now button and name of URL parameters and values used. Not so easy. You can try these automatic methods, but don't rely on it. Rely on clicking on button, it will work if you do it fast. Else one will have to keep watch on how flipkart generates URL and parameters on few sales. I have not done r&d on it, but this may be reason why bye hatke will not work.

dont think so, you order when they are stock, but they are going OOS pretty fast i guess

Finally booked RedMi 1S using COD option.
Expected delivery for Red Mi 12th sept.
for free micro sim card tray 22nd sept
for free clear screen guard 23rd sept [Hope the quality is better]

Any reviews from earlier buyers from 1st lot? Have they received their RedMi ?

Sandynator ! you know what ? I HATE YOU !

I may receive the redmi1 1s from the first sale in 2-3 days. added another one to the cart in today's sale. :bananana:

got my redmi delivered yesterday from Tuesdays flash sale, first impression is the phone is better than expected.

Piyush said:

Received mine too yesterday @11 a.m while I was in office...FK didn't send me sms or updated tracking online :duh2:

I also bought this for my Dad

The box is tough and is better than other brands packaging boxes....just knock it to see how tough it is (kevlar)

Display is brilliant though not better than Super LCD 2 for viewing angles but still good to see
UI is smooth and fast till now (lets see how it progresses day by day)
Camera quality is excellent thanks to BSI sensor & f2.2..front camera is also good and can be used for video calling in skype etc
Loud speaker is not impressive as my bros Xperia M has better speaker output

but what more u can expect from a 6k phone.

much satisfied with price I paid....paisa vasool phone

Q1: Did u guys get any software update notification?
Q2: what is the use of two silver stickers that came with scratchguard? (u can also see them in the diagram last one)?
Q3: the outer packaging says "user manual" but I haven't got any? do you
Q4: specs say MSM8228 but cpu-z says MSM8226 and same in hardware-info tool?

^ Never trust CPU-z, it reports that Mi3 has SD801 instead of SD800.

suggest some flip covers for Redmi

how about this one

Zangetsu said:

Flipcover sucks. they don't do anything to protect the phone AFAIK.

BTW people who received Redmi 1S, how much RAM is free on idle usage? and is there any overheating after gaming?

S

on normal usage ram available is 130-275mb max you can get is 300mb free.

sushovan said:
^ Never trust CPU-z, it reports that Mi3 has SD801 instead of SD800.

It is because Qualcomm has listed 8274AB under Snapdragon 801! Its nomore SD800 officially !

Running stock out of the box without even setting up google for 6 hrs, RAM is at 75% with 25% remaining free. But there's a run lite version in settings will check with that.

Have >320 MB ram free. removed apps which weren't required by dad. will root and freeze play store and google play services after updating required apps.

Also, did anybody came across this video in the phone?

[YOUTUBE]*www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmL8rMoHlNw[/YOUTUBE]

Yes that's the Chinese Mi3 ad right?

so i can expect around 200MB free RAM. I can manage with that

Check the battery temps with Cpu Z, max I had seen with my G2 is 39c and that too after long gaming. Not sure about the upper limit but I think above 40c might be an issue.

You can get it from here: Original Xiaomi Brand Power Bank 10400mAh Power Bank Spark Pink With Free TPU | eBay

They have excellent overall reviews, specially for this particular item, and some person in another forum had bought from them and they had provided excellent support afterwards. I just ordered one for myself, added a 6% off coupon to get it @1600/- which is a good price considering I also get a free TPU Case with it.

Flipkart just lost one sell and one potential flipkart first customer.

Will anyone of the mi3 owner tell if "splay" launcher works on their mi3.
Playstore link *play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.els.splay&hl=en

It crashes on mine after touching on agree, tried every version out there.
Am i missing any setting.

D

After using Redmi 1s for 2 days I found these bugs and cons in miui

1. If we apply live wallpaper and use camera and take some picture and press home button homescree background blackout.

2. Music stop playing sometimes when used other apps then have to play again.

3. Ram management shitty but can be solved by rooting.

4. Unable to move to sd card but again solved by rooting and then using foldermount software to move app data to sd card.

5. Camera app crash multiple times not after root.

6. Battery life is good if used for light user not for heavy user.

7. Heat up when play games.

Still exploring the device so will update if I find out glitches or bugs.

Guys check your redmi 1s for these bugs and tell me because if I'm the only one then I will exchange it from flipkart.

Do reply and this mobile worth it even with these bugs lets hope xiaomi fix these in next update.

[MENTION=52329]tkin[/MENTION], thanks. I'll wait for a week or two if its still not in stock with WS will look at eBay.

So guys any idea when redmi note is launching? What do you think, will they keep the price 10k or reduce it as they did with the other two phones. Personally I would say the price is perfect at 10k.

That'd be a good idea. I wanted to wait as well, but I have a trip coming up on 29th Sep and I need the power bank before then. If fk ever stocks one I might get one more anyway.

Even I am waiting for redmi note.

I bought the 1s already so waiting for the note just to see the launch price. I hope the price difference between the two phones is reasonable so that us redmi 1s buyers don't suffer from buyers remorse :lol

Ram management is really bad I am getting only 280 - 300 mb ram free even after hibernation all my running apps

Guys do alternative Launchers like Nova launcher etc work on redmi 1s?

installed miui 37 now pics to external card is solved, I have rooted the phone but not able to choose custom ringtone. As far as heating issues I am not facing any I downloaded whole miui 37 zip through phone and it didn't get even warm have to check with games.

Accessories Suggestion for RED Mi 1S which are readily available here

1. Quality non slippery Back Cases which will keep the phone cool &
2. Matte Anti Glare Screen Guards .

Had checked flipkart but did not like any of the available stock & I cannot wait to get it from Aliexpress this time.

Guys am unable to create MI cloud account. So can't download themes. Please help

Use +91 before number or use your email id

I created the account from browser. The cloud app wasn't connecting when I tried to create account

BTW.. any glass screen protector available for 1s? the free screen protector is crap.

Check the battery temps with Cpu Z, max I had seen with my G2 is 39c and that too after long gaming. Not sure about the upper limit but I think above 40c might be an issue.

It was 39°.

what are the cpu temperatures while idle and when playing a game..

An aosp ROM has been leaked apparently by some xiaomi Dev for mi3,its flawless and people are claiming its uber fast with antutu scores on the higher side of 40k ,
Hope some good ports starts coming up,but XDA seems to be on a crusade against xiaomi ,I don't really get it,I'm pretty sure there are other devices on XDA which are breaking the rules as xiaomi themselves ,isn't amazon kindle one such device ? That zelendel guy seems overtly zealous to close that forum !

Update
Seems the static like noise isn't there in videos recorded ,using the new AOSP rom, as per a user from XDA,if anyone is looking for a fix ,I suggest this ROM,phone is buttery smooth ( not my experience ,just relaying )

i need some help...i think my redmi 1s's loud speaker is malfunctioning...the sound quality is bad and i hear odd disturbances from the speaker. i just got my phone yesterday ...what are my options ?

Thanks for the update [MENTION=107549]kamikaz[/MENTION]. In the meantime one can use open camera app to record videos without noise ( there's very minute noise, almost unnoticeable ), will have to set audio source to External mic. Can use any other app that allows to do that.

I don't think it matters ,the first thing you have to worry about is getting your product accepted for return ,they might make it a hassle ,and once its confirmed ,they will ship the product and will take back your original phone only after giving you the new phone ,I don't think they would check for any software changes ,only the phones general condition is assessed , you can also try going into settings and do a factory reset ,that should reset it to original state

The loudspeaker IS bad. There is nothing such as it's malfunctioning. The muffling which it produces, is it's default nature.

i get these wierd noisy disturbances whenever the phone rings or a song is playing...even when it is in idle mode..it makes a tic tic tic noise....it's definitely malfunctioning (coz i didn't notice these noises on day 1).

. I think being on 16.0 is the reason its not running on mine. I tried every version of it ever made but none of them worked. It crashes on start.
I will be updating my mi3 now not for this particular reason but...
This splay launcher is inspired by else intuition ui. It didn't launch in 2009. I always wanted to use this mobile.

Its ok, This Splay launcher is really cool..!!! But, cant set it as 'default' launcher. and you need to open it as an app.

Perhaps being on 16.0 could be the reason. It is advisable to upgrade yours to 23.0. I did mine this way... (telling for ur n others info). Initially I didn't have data access on my sim and accessed net in mob thru PC's net via usb cable (didnt have wifi also). In the meantime it was automatically downloaded the update zip file (around 114mb), I was on 16.0 and upgraded later via offline, after completing/restarting I did factory reset (by keeping previous data while doing so) as suggested by many here.

Now if I open 'update' and select 'view available updates' option, it shows 2options as 'install later' and 'update (591M)' !!!??? Dont understand what is this 591M??? anyone knows, pl share what's missing? or why is it showing even it says 'you are on the latest ver of MIUI'.

Guys with Redmi, can you please report your temps from CPUZ after using your phone for 1 hour with wifi ON but not heavy applications, i.e. no games. Anything else would be fine. And do use camera as much as you can.

I'm asking for this as my Redmi is heating to 39° very fast. The idle temp is also around 33°-34°.

I will be willing to purchase Redmi if anyone gets it in their cart in tomorrow's sale.

Well you can't set the latest version v3.0 as default launcher, it doesn't show in my phone (Settings/display/default launcher),
but you can in previous versions.
Just Google splay launcher beta or pm me

I thought android OS took care of that, did Xiaomi modify that as well? Even big manufacturers don't mess with the core OS.

_

I don't think they might have modified it. If they work upto that level, they may be even capable of writing their own OS instead of using Android. The only possibility I think could be there may be memory leaks in the services/apps they added of their own and this could be because of bugs which they may fix if they notice it. Sometimes even though bugs are known, they stay there without being fixed because of lack of resources and time in fast paced busines model.

Redmi 1s user I need your feedback. How is the phone performance & battery back for day to day use except hardcore gaming?
My use would be calling, net surfing almost 4 hrs daily be it Wi-Fi or 3g. General apps like tapatalk, few social apps like what's app hike.. Sometimes if bored small games like subway surfers, temple run, traffic racer etc. while travelling.
I'm Lumia 520 user & only con as off now is battery backup. I'll get Lumia 730 after nice price drop & till then planning to get redmi 1s.

Btw does heavy games like asphalt 8 runs smoothly on it??

Phone performance doesn't matters if it can't save required amount of RAM. Multi-tasking is seriously restricted by the low available RAM.

two of my friends who had received the redmi 1s last thursday have experienced display blackouts, call connection/disconnection issues. even the reviews in flipkart reveal the users' frustration. let's hope the future buyers know what they are spending their money on.

rijinpk1 said:
is it safe to use with lumia 520? does it provide 1A output or 2A only? or is Mi 5200 mAh fine? any idea? 520's battery rated amperage is only 0.75A.

Mi 5200 mAh Power Bank at rs 799 and nokia dc-16 2200mah at rs939. little worried what to choose!

Sorry for the late reply, but I think its completely safe to use with Lumia 520 as the powerbank will only provide that much output which your phone can handle.
And Xiaomi powerbank is much better VFM than Nokia dc-16 according to me.
One thing to note is that the usb cable that came with it is not so good as its only 2 weeks I have used it and the usb connector on the cable already became loose.

Guys, all the reviews I read on flipkart mentioned about heating problem, battery drain and slow performance. Should I wait for Redmi or go with Moto-E? Usage includes whatsapp, surfing(wifi), listening music and sometimes gaming.

These are all mostly soft ware related issues and could be addressed with future updates ,those who are having trouble with redmi ,try the stuff mentioned in this thread
Is Redmi worth buying even after its battery drainage and heating issue? - India - MIUI Official Community - Mobile

S

In performance term redmi suck atleast my device I hope they fix the issues in next updates. You wont believe me but sometimes keyboard takes 3 seconds to appear and music app force close if you open facebook app and chrome browser simultaneously. It feels like I am running a 512 mb ram device

yesterday i successfully added Resmi 1S to my cart on Flipkart, but since Android One devices are coming at a cheap price with all Google updated for next two years, I decided to go for Android One devices, I ordered Redmi for my friend and will wait for more Android One devices to come

If someone desperately wants a good cam phone (plus gaming)in this budget, then Redmi, otherwise look at other options.

Plus, there's no battery drainage issue in my Redmi, but heating is surely there. You just browse wifi, and it shoots to 40° without any reason.

One last reason to get Xiaomi

Fcuk it. I never consider (major) software updates as a reason to buy phone after JB. Sometimes, people give too much importance to it rather than buying a "complete" phone.

If my phone works fine at 4.3, then I do not need any further, at least just to "upgrade".

I feel like making a mistake getting Xiaomi Redmi 1S now

& selling my beloved lumia 520 just for poor battery backup...

[MENTION=82407]sandynator[/MENTION] ,do not worry about those nitpicking negative reviews about Redmi1S, its the best phone under Rs 12K now. The RAM consumption is an issue but not a major issue. Daily tasks like browsing and listening to music and that awesome camera is not affected at all. MiUi 6 is going to address the RAM issue,don't worry.....

[MENTION=146621]The Incinerator[/MENTION]
Thanks for those supportive words..
Actually I had got one earlier on 9th Sept for my sis in law but she had not started using it. Camera is superb much better to my bro's Asus Zenfone 5. Display is superb too...

My Lumia 520's battery back up is an issue & it now almost 14 months used so wanted to have some change mostly in windows but nothing interesting as of now. I have high hope from Lumia 730 so for time being till 730 gets decent price drop thought of having Redmi 1s by just spending 2k more [4k for my lumia 520].

My daily usage would be calling 30 - 45 mins max, 3-4 hrs net surfing,
Apps like office app with PDF reader, Google maps, FB, Tapatalk, Whats-app, Hike, 2 Gmail accounts , 1 Outlook account, 5 popular online shopping site apps, sometimes while travelling may play small games like traffic racer, subway surfers, temple run etc., may try Asphalt 8 too as it my favorite which i love to play on my nexus 7 but cannot do while commuting in public transport.

Music would not be top priority on red mi as I carry my nationite n2 daily with me may try initially.

Ready to compromise a bit but MIUI 6 must resolve these issues Or may be an patch asap to address these issues.

thanks again bro..

Facebook is the worst app in Android remove it as soon as possible.You can access facebook through browser it is lot better.Both facebook and chrome are heavy apps so that is expected I think every other phone till 12k will face same issue.

[MENTION=82407]sandynator[/MENTION],
MIUI is having almost all useful apps So installing 3rd party apps is not really necessary except for games So i suggest you not to install apps unless it is utmost important to you.
This way you can improve a lot in battery backup.

MIUI is having almost all useful apps So installing 3rd party apps is not really necessary except for games So i suggest you not to install apps unless it is utmost important to you.
This way you can improve a lot in battery backup.

thanks a lot

havent you used it?
go to settings>battery>batteryuse>will show different apps/others that use your power , screen should usually top the list tap on it and it will show the time used by screen

btw if you are planning to use the phone for browsing ,depending on the source of internet the battery life will be affected
even on mi3 using wifi continuosly browsing (mostly browsing webpages using operamini/ucweb ,some whatsapp) i hve got 6.5hours average (SOT), it will decrease much further if you use 3g , expect lesser times on redmi

for mi3 users there is an official AOSP rom released on english forums

Fcuk it. I never consider (major) software updates as a reason to buy phone after JB. Sometimes, people give too much importance to it rather than buying a "complete" phone.

If my phone works fine at 4.3, then I do not need any further, at least just to "upgrade".

Its a stock android bro!!

thanks . will check & revert back
Actually one which I received earlier is for my sis in law & she has not started using it. Just checked the display & camera.

BTW could not find the app kill option anywhere[Generally it was long press home button on her Huawei y300] Or does it kills on its own in MIUI ? please clarify that too....

Is there any Manual for REDMI 1S??

Well I am reading about these issues in Redmi 1S and people are fed of even not able to pick a call ! what a phone is when it cant pick a call !
Any one here who is using it can shed some light on certain bugs and their minor fixes else im gonna go with moto e !
A review on TDF would help too.
Not like i've not read any review online but they seem to provide a cover knowledge not the real usage one.
Please help me guyz !

Does anybody knows when Mi3 will be available again ? I wonder why they discontinued it ? Redmi 1s is not in the same price bracket. It would not affected the sale of Redmi 1S.

It will continue for SURE in October. They will sell each of the Sets Alternatively. By gods grace it may be available with out flash sale ??

Infibeam will be selling as well

got my redmi :lol:

now link me to some basic tutorials things i must do before doing anything. and 1 must have game.

Guys by rooting RedMi 1s will I be able to transfer all apps & their data to SD card??

Just came across foll. video to root Redmi 1s. is it applicable for all roms?

S

Played with my friends redmi 1s for over 2hrs.. It's not as good as I expected. I own a moto e

1s's Battery drains like hell.. Mobile was on 2g.. After 2½ hrs of continuous usage battery dropped from 78% to 19% !!!!... Brightness was set to auto..

Pros
1. GPS performance is good.
2. Screen clarity is good but too reflective.
3. MiUi is refreshing.
4. Camera (both audio and video) quality is ok, completely acceptable for the price you pay for.
5. No issues with signal reception or call quality.
6. Touch sensitivity is good.

Cons
1. Heating issue exists, as we all know gets hot near flash. If used outdoors device heats up a lot.
2. Screen brightness could have been better, I mean if u put it zero u literally can't see anything, so minimum you have to keep it at 30%, hence battery drains quicker.
3. Camera app crashes a lot, crashed around 4-5 times in half an hour.
4. While shooting 1080p vids it lagged like hell, and the stutters were even visible in the actual video. But no issues with 720p vids.
5. Performance could have been better for a SD 400 chipset.

I compared app opening speeds of various apps with my moto e (2½ months old 50+ apps installed), but to my surprise being a dual core device moto e matched neck to neck.

Couldn't test any games as there were no games installed on the device.

Overall a good buy for 6k, performance and battery could have been better, may be some issues are software related and can be fixed.

E

any one here can tell if Moto 360 is compatible with Xiaomi Mi3 ???? I am planning to buy it..!

E

okay... I got it...

BTW, is there any chance to get the updated version of miui in India? Although I like the current version, which has no bugs.

Any news on MiPad launch in India ?

I

Hoping that Redmi Note does not have issues like 1S!
And waiting for launch...

Im not sure how many will agree with me, but the MIUI home screen is just horrible. settings/menu is okay. my sis-in-law has issues getting used to it, now switched to Aviate and she says its more productive.

Yes, the lack of "menu" system is something which takes time to get used to.

^ thanks for posting the link mate. total newbie i am not much affected by heating or low ram issues. but gonna try that

done!

rooted now.

Guys will Aluminum back case be useful for redmi 1s ?? I've got silicon transparent case for time-being but I guess the phone will get more hot due to it.

Which case will be ideal for protection as well as to keep the heat down?

I use Moto E and max free RAM that I have is 500MB and normally its around 300MB. won't recommend it as there's no OTG, the camera sucks, and screen is a little small(not much of a con).

Max free Ram that my friend got was about 683mb i guess. Dont remember it correctly but its surely much more than Redmi. Check you mobile and compare with others on xda.

How is the experience? What about performance, heat and ram management?

Heat is normal as i wont play any game just facebook whatsapp and chrome . Cm11 is good in multitasking as compare to miui. In miui I was feeling lag most of the time but cm11 is good in multitasking. Facebook is force closing in cm11 not sure why but only 1 or 2 times in a day.

on Windows 7 it will get detected and you will see a new icon in My Computer. it will have both Internal and SD Card storage and do your simple copy paste. on XP you have to install MTP drivers, but without drivers you can install their suite with English language Addon.

yeah. even I got that error.... what i remember is the following:

1. Download the installer along with the english patch. Install and overwrite files. Close the program (use task manager after closing everything related to it). Start the program. Check if it is showing in english. If not, then close the program as mentioned earlier, connect the phone, and wait if the program auto launches. if yes check the language is english. if not, launch the program manually and check. Still not then see the next point.

2. Uninstall everything related to the MiPhoneManager. Dont forget to delete the files at the place where you had overwritten it. Do a registry cleanup using CCleaner or other. Connect the Phone, launch its inbuilt setup. Finish it. Close every instance after installation. Disconnect the phone. Overwrite the files. Launch the program. Check if English. If not, close every instance of the program. Disconnect the phone. Make sure it is closed. Reconnect the phone. wait for the manager to auto launch. If yes, check the language. If not, double click the Xiaomi icon in the My Computer and wait. Check the language.

Do the above and let me know the detailed notes for both the steps. Screenshots are very helpful.

should i backup before updating?

Backup is always a good choice

I got only v41.1 update. Not v43.

I feel that launcher loading thingy has reduced a lot now, after update.

btw when is redmi getting miui 6

also i noticed today in morning the phone was heating up on its own , no apps open nothing, i restarted the phone it started to cool down ..............

I tried this guide [GUIDE][Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Solve heating issues, Ram Issues and Battery Problems - Redmi 1S - MIUI Official Forum a few days back and so far no heating issues even after heavy browsing/wifietc. I'm also getting around 350MB free ram after clearing the ram.

Redmi 1S ROM version 41.1 has been released. People are writing about better RAM optimisation in this version.

guys i just noticed that mi phone mangaer on pc app is sending huge amount of data at an ubelievably high speed from my pc to outside , usually my upload speed doesn't exceed 50 KBps its now arnd 110 KBps ul, what to do any insights plz tell asap.............

- - - Updated - - -

i have exited the app and paused the cancelled the update due to this.............

The FM Radio quality is very good in Redmi and we don't need headphone if the signal strength is sufficiently high. However the FM recording feature produces crappy sounding files.

gta0gagan said:
well its there an option to restart.................

I was talking about soft reboot. Google it

Anyone tried new ROM 41?? How's the experience now?

It seem your phone is rooted. Unroot your phone and try again

OTA update won't visible if you root the phone. First unroot, update and then root again.

BTW for these reason CM has soft reboot baked You can raise a request for this feature in MIUI

Disable Google apps except what you use that solved heating issue with my Moto E.

has anyone tried OTGing a HDD with Redmi 1S?

Nope. I've heard phones that have otg sometimes switch off when connected to a hdd. Pendrives work perfectly. I even managed to connect my transcend t sonic 610 1gb mp3 player via otg and transfer songs which I didn't think was possible

damn. if anyone can, please use and update

When 3 year old Galaxy s2 can, then why cant this. Sure it will

You sure? Because support for HDD OTGing will increase my chances of buying this phone will increase drastically.

Still I'll wait for someone to reply who has tested it.

External powered HDDs are possible but dunno about the USB powered ones

Anyway to power my USB HDD externally? I just have to change the wire with the one with an extra USB for power.

I can firmly say that RAM issue is solved at least up to 30% by this update. However, the total amount of free RAM is basically only 10% more than what was before, only the management has been much better thus resulting in rare (Read no) crashing of apps.

Yes it's not auto updating via updater. How can I update my Mi3?

You can download the package and after moving it to phone storage, you can use the updater app to flash.. Do check the miui forums though, it could be meant for a particular country

So guys any one tried any hd games on redmi 1s? Does the latest update plus rooting improve the performance?

Guys ,after using my mi3 for 1 month I am facing a plethora of problems.
1.The right side of the speaker has stopped working(I kept my hand on the left side of the speaker and covered it and played some songs and there was no sound coming from the right side.I then closed the right side then the sound came from the Left side).
2.When I charge my phone while it is switched off,the battery charges from 0-36 percent in 15 minutes. But when I remove the charger and use the phone,the battery runs out of juice in half an hour(I played just some music).Which means the battery indication is wrong or the battery itself is defective.
3.The phone hangs at least once every 2 days and I have to restart it.Apps like opera mini,miui explorer stops responding.
4.I can open only magnet links using utorrent,bit torrent etc.If I open a downloaded torrent file,the torrent client crashes.
Should I go in for a replacement? Do you think they will replace it at the service center?

- - - Updated - - -

Also I haven't received any update.still on v23.I rooted my phone earlier though but I unroofed it but still haven't received any notification when checked .

1. i think there is only 1 speaker in Mi3 which is at bottom. People should confirm.
2. A few full recharge-discharge cycle should bring out the complete juice of the battery.
3. 2 months here... never hung up on me yet.... fyi, I have done rigorous testing like playing games, using heavy applications, etc.
4. Running torrent clients on phone is one thing I donot recommend. Also, you have rooted the phone and I haven't. What if rooting is causing the hangups ?

AFAIK, you need to download the 565MB update file manually and update it using inbuilt updater.

Reboot your phone and then play the game. Use some game booster. I think this problem is happening due to low free ram

Did you update the firmware to 41.1??

BTW guys payment time is just till 2.30 pm so those who want to buy it for family members, friends or Sell it must act fast.

Is flipkart capable of taking such huge load??

The games could also be crashing due to overheating

I

It's not overheating that much for me. (other phones I've used in the past heat up to similar amounts without crashing.)
Haven't yet upgraded to 41 version. Is it better? Which performance enhancer would you suggest?

Also I have a buttload of apps which I dont need both from Google and from MI, can I remove them? Does using a them make everything slower?
Pls help guys.

Out of Stock at 2 pm....

We've added your Redmi 1S to the Cart. You have till 2:30 PM , Today to make your payment.
Redmi 1S comes with a complimentary screen protector and a micro SIM card adapter. :lol:

Overheating isn't that much. But the camera app crashes when the phone is too hot. Dunno about hd games but the games I played run fine. The update should help . It has fixed the app crashing issue iirc . As for enhancer, I use an app called clean master. It's a maintenance suite with ram booster, junk file cleaner etc. It has a built-in game booster. There are many game boosters on play store. Most of them work the same way. Try any one

Guys I was wondering, is redmi 1s really the phone with the best specs in this price range right now? I am talking only about the SoC. The zenphone 4 a400cg with its dual core Intel doesn't seem much weaker, and it has a better gpu, the powervr sgx 544mp2. Redmi has a better screen, better camera and otg. Can someone tell me the benchmarks of redmi 1s vs zenphone 4. Thanks

I wonder how Xiaomi gets their numbers, today the claim is it was sold out in 13.6 seconds
For me it didn't even take that much to show OOS

They are planning to give priority pass to the people who reigstered but failed to get it into their cart. They are in process of developing algorithm which will notice if this person has registered multiple times but could not get into the cart then that person will get priority pass which will add one phone in the cart automatically if registered for next sell.

i doubt any such is readily available, its a big battery, & they normally dont keep in mind to fast charge these kind of devices. but keep looking, if u can find one by chance.

also there is a limitation to charging current to the 18650 cells used in these chargers, they are normally less than 0.8C = ~ < 2.4Amps

The original Xiaomi charger is 2A. If you don't have it then buy MX brand charger from amazon.in. It is 2A and has dual usb outputs. The build quality is average though, but it is a very good charger.

And updating won't affect your data, however it's always good to have a back up. And before updating, it will prompt you to create a back up.

Guys anybody tried to install wsm tools on redmi 1s? Does it work. As you know xposed framework doesn't work on xiaomi devices

xposed doesnt work on Xiaomi ? k den. one more reason to not buy it.

Lol. Xiaomi devices have an alternative called wsm tools. It has all the features of xposed. It works on mi 3 but dunno if it works on redmi 1s.

If you do not want buy, don't buy but why discouraging others from buying? Which phone do you think is is giving you everything in 5999/-? Micromax, Lava, Xolo, Karbonn, Asus Zenfone, Huaweii, Lenovo, Samsung, Nokia, SONY, HTC, LG whichever you thinking giving you everyting in 5999/- you can buy that phone. I am highly impressed with Xiaomi phones and I will buy as soon as I have enough money to buy MI3 or Redmi Note. I am even ready to wait for Redmi Note 2(20 MP rear camera, 8 MP front camera). If Xiaomi phones were of not good quality, it would not have made news in international market. Everyone is talking about it does tell everyting about. But everyone has personal choice. If someone does not like, just don't buy it. But why making negative compaign of something in which others have interest.

Moto e is better IMO.

haha yeah, is the heating issue really that bad???

almost all the recent reviews are one star !!

Heating issue is there but its highly exaggerated. No offence to anyone, but the people giving 1 star rating could be first time smartphone users. Low rating could be due to RAM optimisation issues as well, but this has been taken care of in recent ROM update. Great value for money phone.

I just want a smartphone for whatsapp, music and surfing. Is redmi suitable for that?

I personally checked Redmi, it just get little warm thats it. Every device heats up.

And Camera in low budget :-D

this why I am interested in Redmi Note.

Played Dead Trigger for two hours straight last night. Phone reaching 42* C isn't an overheating issue. :deadbored:

same happens while playing on my Optimus G. it even reaches 45* C.

First time n00bs and butthurt reviewers who couldn't get it in sale are ranting on flipkart. If you don't have the budget, this phone is way better than any other phone under 10k and shouldn't expect it to do miracles. Want something similar from a big OEM? pay more.

Chirag said:

If you do not want a good camera, skip Redmi, go for Moto E. However if you intend to have a good camera as well, then Redmi has got no competition.

Well almost all are certified buyers, means they have one, but like said above probably first timers

SaiyanGoku Yeah the flipkart reviews are insane. And xiaomi being a Chinese company adds to their anger. They expect high end performance from a 6k phone. No matter how much this phone is touted for its specs people should remember that this is a budget phone. This phone is not for first timers it seems. Geeks like us are happy with it.

- - - Updated - - -

Finally rooted my phone. Using the cpu management feature of battery doctor has improved the battery life. Also greenify is working good. App quarantine is great. I underclocked to 1.4ghz. Maybe that is why the heating has reduced. It heats up as usual but cools down much faster. And that is only while gaming. The phone is just a bit warm while normal use. Now, I can't buy the greenify donation package and xposed framework doesn't work. So, anybody tried wsm tools? And SaiyanGoku You recently posted that were getting 350mb or 450mb free ram on boot. Can you please tell how you did that?

Haven't checked free ram on boot recently but, free ram on idle is ~430 MB now. ROM version 43 (global one, flashed from recovery).

Froze these using Titanium Backup:

Browser (the default one)
com.cleanmaster.sdk
com.securitycore.miui_t
Flipkart
Gallery (using Quickpic instead)
Gmail (attachments will hog up space)
Google Keyboard (Swiftkey FTW!!)
Google Play Music (stock player is OK, planning to replace it with PlayerPro)
Google Play Services (will unfreeze it when I need to update apps from play store)
Google Play Store (same as above)
Google Services Framework (same as above)
Google Text-to-speech Engine (don't really require it)
MiTalk
Sync with Mi Cloud (i don't want to -_- )
Uniplay service (don't know what it does)
Xiaomi Assistant
Xiaomi Services Framework

Removed Google Play bloats

Hibernated all the user apps using greenify (free version of course), as dad will automatically open the app if he wants to use it.

Ok thanks. You using greenify free version or donation package? Did you try wsm tools. I am using app quarantine for freezing apps.

Received RedMi 1S yesterday evening. It is for my Mom. Charged 100%, installed latest update ( 41.1, 515MB ) and uninstalled a few apps which she will never use ( Mi Talk, default Browser, a few Google Keyboards and bloats ).
I have installed a few apps only. If it heats up like people mentioned in reviews at FlipKart, I will install CM11. Downloaded all the necessary files for root/unroot, recovery etc.

Install coolify and One power Guard.Battery Doctor is buggy now.You can disable apps even on non rooted phone just go to setting->apps->select apps->Disable.

This way even you reboot your phone they will not autostart or run in background thus improving battery and resolve heating issues.

Its a really simple procedure.

1. Download update.zip file from here Plug-in RedMi 1S to your PC and copy update.zip to Internal Memory. Don't create any new folder. Just copy it to root folder. Unplug RedMi 1S.

2. Settings icon -> About Phone -> Tap on Android Version five times. It will activate Developer Options.

3. Tools icon -> Updater. Click on Menu -> Reboot to Recovery Mode. Use Volume Keys to navigate and Power key to Confirm in Recovery Mode.

4. Select English and then install update.zip to system. Recovery will detect/install update.zip. Reboot to System.

5. Security icon -> Permissions - activate root permissions.

Done !! Same procedure is for unrooting and I have added zip file for unroot too.

- - - Updated - - -

MIUI 41.1 is not that good even after installing Battery, CPU and RAM Management apps. Its a lot of work and negligible results. I am going to install CM11-R5 today evening. I don't why everyone is calling it stable version though.

Actually no need for pc even. If you have net on your phone and cannot get to a pc(my situation). Download the zip file and copy it to the internal storage. Don't copy it in any folder in the internal storage but just the internal storage. Now follow the subsequent instructions.

A few people at MIUI Forums reported root problems after downloading update.zip directly in RedMi 1S but I am not sure if its really true. Everyone is suggesting to enable Developer Options also but I really don't see any need of that because we are not changing any option in Developer section for root/unroot procedure. I will download unroot file directly on RedMi and check if it causes any problem in unroot procedure.

^^ Note and MI3 I guess. So probably Flipkart is selling MI3 and Redmi Note coming week and next week Redmi 1s, it's my guess.

dud3rulz said:

You mean galaxy note 4 ?
it can't be.
Samsung has decided to extend exclusivity on selling rights of 48 models, including Galaxy Alpha and Note 4, to offline retailers. (TOI)

Edit : forgot about redmi Note

that is possible.

Mi3 will be on sale for one last time
*pbs.twimg.com/media/BzFmHlWCMAAmLfG.png

I am not much interested in MI3, Redmi Note I may consider.

Wonder if they will keep the price of redmi note 10k or decrease it. Imo the price is perfect for what they are offering but the zenfone 5 will be offering stiff competition and people may be reluctant to buy the note after all those negative reviews of the 1s.

guys how to downgrade mi3 to v22 or v18 ??? Will i have to wipe my data ?

Anybody having mi3 checked whether their speaker at the bottom is working properly? Try closing the left half and check if there is sound coming from the right half of the punched holes at the bottom surface and vice versa.Also my battery backup has significantly reduced now.(on v23 there is no power saving mode).Is there any power saver mode on v32 other than balance mode?

What is the source for 1.5 lacs Redmi news?

Guys, I want to use this phone (Redmi) as my primary device. This would be my first smartphone. I need it for casual surfing, music, whatsapp and gaming (rarely). Should I go for this? The updates have reduced crashing issues and heating issue is normal or extreme?

Mi3 will be discontinued after this charity sale. I hope they introduce MI4 as soon as possible.

Will have Mi3 in my cart tomorrow. [Strike]Will do a giveaway of the order as soon as I get it in cart as I can't buy it :cry:

So I just notice that there's only 4 hours for checkout(10am to 2pm), so giveaway starts now, post numbers like 1,2,3,4 in order like first dude posts 1 then second dude posts 2 and so on. Will do a random.org selection tomorrow 12pm.

Heating is very much but at least i can ignore it drooling on other features. The camera is awesome man.

Heating issue is not very serious. All phones heat up, xiaomi is also no exception. I play asphalt 8 1 hr at a stretch. It never crashes, although phone heats up.

I am also looking for mi3 if someone can help me to buy tomorrow please let me know

@adityak469 hey mate, i am looking for mi3 too.. and no. 7 it is

BTW Is Xiaomi Mi3 even worth it considering the chinese server scam and the lack of after sales service?
Also, I heard that the UI is not very good. Is that true?

R

Seamon, you obviously did not lay your hands on mi3, the ui is best, simple intuitive and beautiful. You can always turn off Mi3 cloud storage , if you are concerned about safety. Even one of my student who is using a S3 wanted to buy it when she saw my phone

seamon said:

That was fixed, if you are still concerned about it, turn cloud storage off. MiUI is good but not the best, it consumes a lot of RAM but on Mi3, it isn't a problem because of 2GB RAM. You can always flash to any cROM you want. Moto's ASS is bad too, but no one bats an eye. (They took a month to get Moto E's screen back at stock)

Now you cant! Flipkart website is crashed completely

Looks like the Mi3 seems perfect only on paper.

I mainly use my phone as a music player. Mi3 seems to have only a mediocre speaker. Moreover, Mi3's audio output is bad too, so even if I connect a pair of headphones, the sound will be bad. This is a major deal breaker for me. Also, Sony's clear audio+ and Bravia mobile engine 2 are indispensable.

Meanwhile, Mi3 is useless for my dad too. He'll be in noisy places most of the time but the ringing sound of Mi3 is below average. This is where the Moto G shines.

Maybe the Mi3 is good for mobile gamers but it is just not good enough for me.

Well im using mi3 along with mipistons and im not having any problems with sound output with the headphones,in fact i rarely raise the volume above the level ,at which shows the warning prompt, you have to turn on the dirac optimization to get optimum output, but if you are trying to connect it to a speaker system or over the ear heaphpnes etc then i think the phone has a problem..this phone wont be able to drive it much, tried connecting it to the audio system and also my sennheiser, wasnt satisfactory, but i have heard there is a mod called viper mod which could solve the audio issues
Speaker seems ok and the sound output is regular, but i prefer to use vibration mode in noisy situations anyway,

The point is not about problems. It's about quality. Mi3's sound output is nowhere near comparison to Moto G and my Xperia ZR. I checked GSM review on this.
Also, the screen's brightness level is below average, making under sunlight use difficult.

I have read somewhere its volume control doesn't works with Moto G..so does it works with moto E ? was looking to buy one for my mom and one for myself as I have a 720.

The pistons have some well made copy products, Its better to get it from official channels than from other seller who isn't trusted and then be sorry about that
And yeah the volume controls of pistons aren't compatible with all the phones, but the headset will work without any problems
Check the review section here, piston has been reviewed in detail and I think it's tkin who has added a list of compatible headphones

not much difference.... this noise cancellation is pissing me out... however, that ghosty and robotic sound during AV recording is gone... that can be a relief.... binary selections are more flat... unit increase/decrease scroll bars are also flat.....

if you want, you can avoid it until a proper version is available via updater app... this is the best bet...

NOTE: Earlier people were saying about covering the speaker on right side and left side and were not able to hear from 1 side.... i also tried and it was the same.... I think there is only 1 speaker on left side and there is a microphone on the other side... else if you are talking on phone then your voice is directed downwards, not upwards, therefore its logical to think there is one microphone down below.. But I need to confirm this from people...

Flashed twrp and installed pure performance X, pure audio and the pure graphics hd mod one after another :-D

. The UI has become very snappy. Didn't try games or playing music. I am sure there will be some improvement there too.

Guys I'm interested in get Redmi1S for my mom. Need some inputs from you guys who may already be using the product. Is this worth it?
I see lot of negative reviews on this.

Honestly, the redmi 1s is a phone I would only recommend to people who have a bit of know how. The hardware is solid and the screen is gorgeous. The software issues are a bit overrated and can be solved with a bit of tweaking. If all your mom needs is a basic smartphone with a bit of multimedia and gaming, this is a good choice. The heating issue is overrated. It only occurs when you are playing hd games. If you just root the phone and install coolify and one power guard, the heating will reduce . Then there is pure performance X mod which after I have installed, the phone performance has improved considerably. But by no means am I stating that you have to do all this just to use the phone. I personally used my Redmi for two weeks before rooting. It ran pretty well. The battery life is what caused me to Root. If you are a heavy user, it drains pretty fast especially because of the hd display. My opinion would be buy the redmi, root and underclock it to 1.2 Ghz, install coolify and one power guard. It will be more than enough for your mom.
Personally I would say its worth it because of the gorgeous screen alone and then there is the camera which is way better than its competitors. Your other options are zenfone 4 or Android one. I won't recommend moto e since it is getting long in the tooth.

Had the same issue. Installed developer ROM and everything is fine now. Here's a sample video: *www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZIEi8sbaSk

BTW, even v32 of the stable ROM has the audio recording problem while shooting videos. That prompted me to flash developer ROM v4.9.26.

Hi... Mi3 & Redmi 1S users,

I'm successfully able to mirror (screen mirroring) to samsung tv from my Mi3 and also Redmi 1s :lol:

(can see what on my mob on big screen tv without any cables) :-D

,
Can not do it by moto g (as per google search moto g doesnt support it) Redmi 1s can do with half the price.

Sharing this for the benefit of others, or who have not tried can try this amazing feature :stirpot:

Guys how about the Xiaomi charger? How good is it?

No need of chromecast, only my mi3 and a TV capable of mirroring. Mirrored using wi-fi display.

How do you mirror ? Please explain, which app you are using?

rdx_halo said:

if you are connected to wifi with upnp enabled, along with a tv connected with the same wifi, then, when you open any image or video in gallery, you'll see projection icon, along with Send, Edit, etc. Click on projection and you can stream data to tv.

in case of mirroring, there is an option in settings, dont remember exactly, where you can enable it.

Just got the latest update seems good, lacks the crt animation though, seems a bit bland

B

rdx_halo said:
How do you mirror ? Please explain, which app you are using?

Mirroring is very useful than projecting and it takes few seconds now to connect to tv.

First it requires a TV having built-in wifi-fi (or dongle) and capable of screen mirroring or miracast.

I did as below....
In my mi3 under General Setting > pressed more > pressed Wi-Fi display, it asked to enable, i pressed ok.

In Samsung TV opened opened screen mirroring option under source, it started to look for device.

Then in mob Samsung TV name showed up, I pressed and it connected to TV in few seconds. Thats it, my mob screen was showing on TV :razz:

Photo, video, games, etc whatever on mob can see on TV. You can do n number of things with this feature.

Btw, first i checked on our Samsung TV also i was able to check this mirroring on Sony / LG TVs also at showrooms and worked well. only thing is, contents quality is little inferior than original we see on mob. I searched a lot for this and tried many things as we didnt have wi-fi router so this one came in handy. now you can find more info in miui forum also abt this.

So your TV itself is miracast enabled okay!!

How is this phone guys? I'm thinking of buying it! Please tell me some reviews on it I mean regarding heating, bad ram management etc.

Guys, I just received my Redmi but I am out of station till next week so till then it would be sealed. I want to use it as a primary device. I require it for whatsapp, browsing, music and gaming (rarely). Rooting/under-clocking solves all the issues? I don't mind normal heating issues. The crashing and other software related bugs can be solved by updating or tweaking a bit? Should I use this as my primary device or sell it off?

No no these are stable roms, I didn't lose any data, but it's always safe to have a backup before updating, use the built in backup option

Mi3 coming in stock anytime soon? Any idea or related news?

Guys when is redmi note launching? What will be the price? Will keep it 10k or reduce, what do you think? I think xiaomi is a bit late. The karbonn octane plus will be a stiff competitor.

I think it can be possible, open updater in mob and press option > press select update package > then locate the folder you've copied the update file on sd card and proceed. In mi3 update file download in the 'downloaded_rom' folder. Hope you get the same with redmi 1s.

avoid using external sd card,update using internal storage.

In that link its showing 'china' region, however i think you should update with 'global' version which is 43.0 with 515M (Indian specific update not yet released i think as in the case of mi3, any experienced FM can confirm this).

Before doing so, pl go through this thread to get to know more from who have updated their redmi 1s recently and also visit miui fourm.

Hello Experts,

We have a Redmi 1S at our home less than 2 weeks and update to the latest ver.41 when it prompt. My query here whenever Camera start for Video mode it always go back to 720P mode as a result Low 720P recording. As I still can't able to locate how to/ where to save 1080P settings.

If anyone find solution or workaround please share.

First you need to off Simple mode. Then you will see an option written 720. Touch it and change to 1080.

It says my Xiaomi Mi3 might reach on saturday , so if lucky i get by 1/2 days , Suggest good Screen Guard and Flipk Pouch (amazon /Flipkart) also if u use that Pouch , kindly Upload 3-4 pics pls

Get the Nillkin tempered glass screen guard, and Nillkin frosted back case. I personally am using a fake Spigen tough armor case, provides excellent protection, tho makes use of buttons difficult and adds bulk to an already large phone. But as we have read in posts, Xiaomi service centers don't have spares so protecting phone from damage is a top priority.

Yeah mx player works fine now without any codecs. I downloaded it from the playstore this time. The previous one was a side loaded apk I had got from my friend so that might have been the problem.

Guys I have a problem. I have a generic usb gamepad from a brand called atek. It resembles a ps3 controller. I connected the gamepad to my Redmi 1s through otg and used usb joystick center to enable it. I can even navigate the menus using the gamepad. But whenever I start a game, the gamepad doesn't work. The USB joystick app restarts whenever I start a game. So I have to again go and select my gamepad but again when I resume the game same thing happens . Maybe it is happening due to low ram. Anybody else faced this issue? Help?

Oneplus is popular around he world. Thats not the case with xiaomi

In terms of service one plus is way behind,if you manage to damage your phone you will have a hard time getting oPO repaired, popularity can't repair the phone
I think Xiaomi will definitely improve their service in India, they just appointed another ex googler jai mani as the product manager in India
I don't think they would make these kind of commitments without having a plan

Got the redmi finally
Didn't do much to it since its a gift, just updated to latest software and applied the screen guard
The phone did heat up while updating
I plan to do some tweaks before I hand it over

Yes, Led backlight is lacking in every Redmi 1s. I think thats why they printed them in red colour.

Regarding Option 1
Power cuts at our home during that time for the past 6 months or so
Flipkart blocked in office after the sale day
Mobile connection is pathetic so don't know how to go ahead.
How does COD help?
Ideally want to buy using CC(EMI) since tight on budget to buy using Cash.

Just open updater and check for updates, it should you the v45 update. That will solve your all heating issues.

To save images/music to SD card, you don't need to root but for apps, I guess yes.

Update to latest version 45. It will solve heating and low ram issues. Instead of OTA update, download the file to pc and transfer to phone or sd card and update. The OTA update has no resume feature, you have to start again if the download fails. After this update you can specify the sd card as save location for camera.No rooting is required.

I can not see any change in RAM management after v45 update.

I am getting around 350MB free ram when no apps are running and around 150MB when 3-4 apps are running. Previously, the free ram will get as low as 90MB on opening two three apps.

No more heating issues as before. The phone gets a little warm while gaming and browsing. Before it was like touching a hot iron. This update is definitely recommended.

Got hold of my Xiaomi Power Bank today. Any suggestions on how to start using this one?

Just started using Redmi. The first thing I did was update to latest ROM (v45).

The phone is getting kind of hot? I am unable to hold it over my ear. This update was supposed to solve the heating issues?

I have used my friends' smartphones and haven't felt this kind of heat. Also, the UI is kind of laggy. The pop-up takes at least a second to open up after clicking on the button.

MIUI and laggy?? I always found the ui to be pretty fluid. Kind of like iOS which is expected since miui is based on iOS. You can get stock android if you like. Jus install the cyanogen mod Rom for redmi. It is stock kitkat

A competitor for Redmi 1s has arrived on Flipkart. Specs seems decent except mediatek SOC.

Clear cache from recovery. Mine was slow too after update but after clear cache and user data everything is smooth now

C

Will do that. What about the heating issue? I switched on the phone 30 minutes back and I am just using whatsapp and it is really warm near the ear piece. Warm enough to be uncomfortable while talking on the phone.

Edit. Cleared cache and user data. Don't see any smoothness. Also, can't keep the phone over my ear for more than 5-10 seconds. It's that hot. Even when I am not using the phone, it isn't cooling down. Defective?

Edit 2: Also, the charger isn't working. I tried a different charger and it works but not Redmi charger. Well, this is a sad experience.

After an update to ROM 45 for RedMi 1S it is recommended to do a factory reset and restart. Then do a Clear cache etc etc.

C

^^
Did clear the cache. Still kind of slow and heating issues. Also, the charger is faulty. Should I just return the phone or I can use a different charger (Samsung)?

Do a factory reset first after the update. That charger is a 2000 mah charger,it charges the hone pretty fast, a lower Mah charger though will charge but albeit take longer to charge the Redmi1s. So raise a complain with Flipkart.

Root the phone and install coolify. Heating issue will reduce

C

The CPU-Z says the phone temperature is 38 degrees which people are saying is normal. But the ear-piece is really hot and the back cover feels warm even after reset/deleting cache. Is this how Redmi is going to be? I have used Grand 2 and it's cool/normal/not at all hot.

I don't know. The first thing I did after opening the box was update Redmi to latest version.

I haven't used the mokee Rom but from what I read on the net, it really enhances the performance of this phone. Stock android makes good use of this hardware. Heating issues and low ram to issues have vanished. The phone performs like moto g if not better due to the higher clocked cpu.

Received the RedMi 1S , woould not have been possible without Sandynators immense help, updated to ROM45 and everything is looking great at the moment.

lol, no one cared to check out those links? Well, neither did i

Well I have been looking at miui forums, of redmi
The consensus seems to be that though the heating issue have been addressed, and Ram is okish the performance isn't on par with v41.1
The phone I got has been in its box and I decided to check how it is, after browsing for like 5 min, the phone started to get warn was indeed surprised how quick it was , well I didn't wait much to see how far it went but decided to do all the tweaks then
Rooted, flashed twrp, pure performance mod, ramscript, and patched services.jar
Well everything looks good so far, phones smooth but it's warm and stays warm doesn't get heated up
Just to test out its performance can you recommend.a graphics intensive game and small size (within 50-100mb max)
I tried temple run it ran fine for the smaller period I tested should check more

Also I tried resetting the phone and ended up losing all the pre installed apps except play store including the stock browser :/

Guys need some help here
I did a foolish thing of doing a reset of the redmi without taking a backup
Now I'm stuck without stock browser and other apps
But that's not the problem here
The theme manager is showing Chinese themes even though the locale is set to us and language en
And I think the phones location is being locked into some place 2.5 hours ahead of us, Malaysia may be ( ie when I switch on the phone, it automatically acquires time of Malayasia/china I think) how do I fix this any help ( esp the themes)
Feels like I might have to flash the rom again

- - - Updated - - -

ok just remembered i had the previously downloaded update file in my phone and i flashed it , now i have got back all the google apps and stock browser but the theme manager still showing chinese damn

- - - Updated - - -

more update , can anyone extract the theme app from the latest rom and send it to me , i ran out of bandwidth on my broadband and downloading the whole rom is pain, if anyone has the theme apk from v45 that would be fine

try CM , i think it has minimal bugs , something like miracast not working ,etc, already mokee and pa roms are out too

i flashed CM and used it for a half an hour or so it appeared smooth ,couldnt find any issue,apart from the miracast,but i had to flash the fastboot rom since im giving this phone to my sis, i might think about changing to CM depending on feedback

Also flashed root, twrp pureperfromance mod

i checked the cpu states through no frills cpu control and it shows the minimum speed as 998 frequency i dont know why it is set so

you can lower it to 300 im not sure its working, but it appears to be so
the governor by default is cfq, row was available in options (thats the default in CM) so i changed to that

then i edited some lines of thermal throttling , as someone have mentioned which was responsible for the slowing down in v45, lets see how it goes

Got my redmi 1s today! It's a beauty! Display is gorgeous!

Guys help i think i am in serious trouble. Was using my redmi till charge dropped to 1 per cent. Switched off the phone(I seriously regret doing that) and put it into charge. The phone didnt start charging as it does when it turns on and shows the battery indicator. After some time i saw the indicator led blinking. It happens periodically . But it still wont start charging. After searching on the net from what i have understood the battery is completely discharged and the phone is in super low state slowly charging and then when it has enough charge it will turn on and start proper charging. Is that what has happened? Why is the led blinking periodically? Help, i am scared :-(

Put it on charger for a while like an hour or so then boot

setanjan123 said:

need a tutorial i havent rooted any android phones

Actually it charged for 2 hrs to no avail. But the problem is fixed. I plugged the phone into a samsung charger and voila the led light that was blinking periodically began to blink very fast and within a minute the phone booted and as i write this it is charging. I had assumed correctly that the xiaomi charger couldnt provide enough power. Gotta have to be careful from now on not to let the phone completely discharge, atleast until i can afford to buy a good charger.

Trust the government to do absolutely ZERO research on their own. They use F-secure's research which is a bit outdated since there have been quite some updates. Plus WTF is this "Quoting a reader from PhoneArena website". HAHA OMG. What a joke. That's worse than quoting wikipedia.

The concern is quite valid however. I'm interested to know exactly what data and detail they are sending. Plus the size of it. Don't want it to eat my data usage. If it's only metadata though doesn't google do the same thing? Plus what of the backdoors the NSA have supposedly got in both Android and IOS?

Xiaomi has already clarified regarding this. MiCloud Sync used to be ON by default in all Xiaomi mobiles. MiCloud servers are in China and it syncs almost everything, from contacts, MiTalk conversations to locations. Xiaomi has made MiCloud sync optional last month or so and its OFF by default now.

Users kept on complaining about data transfer even after disabling MiCloud. It was Software Updater this time. Xiaomi has stopped Software updater too. No background data transfers now but users have to check Software Update manually.

^ what happen to the files which was synced before? User should delete them manually?

If you disable your account, data should be purged automatically but its good to delete everything manually to be sure and disable account after that. Its like Google Services only, Google Drive, Photos etc. Users can wipe out all info stored in their MiCloud account and disable it permanently. I haven't even enabled MiCloud in my Mom's RedMi 1S and cleaned/disabled my own account created through Mi3. I am not really scared of this spy thing. I just don't need MiCloud services. Zoho, OneDrive and a few Google services are enough for me right now.

Are you Charging a premium for it??

Pm for More details

I would rather prefer an answer over here as my PM box is full...

I have one in my Cart till 6PM, do let me know if anyone needs it.

ajayritik said:
I'm interested in this one. Please let me know how I can go ahead.
Please PM me.
Actually I would want this purchase to be done through CC so that I can convert to EMI. Will this be possible if someone helps me get one from your cart?

check pm.

^get their userid and password, change the address and book it.

15 mins left, anyone wants it?

I am cleaning up this thread.

If that guy buys the phone, and then sells the packed phone for Rs. 500 extra in the Bazaar section, I don't see any problem with it (provided it is still less than the MRP written on the box). People are actually ready to pay more for it.

Although this is something which should be discouraged and is against the ethics of any community, but it really doesn't call for a ban hammer. Like most of us, if I had added it to my cart, I'd not have charged any personal tax. Having said that I don't mind paying Rs. 500 more had I been really interested in that phone.

PS: If I have deleted any legit post, then please PM me.

Don't worry. FlipKart is not going to remove RedMi 1S from your cart for next 24hrs or so.

Do not worry you will have time till 9am next morning

Same thing happened to me on last sale when my close frnd rejected it for Samsung Galaxy Core

at the last moment. The same was routed to The Incinerator bro.

BTW Guys I have one doubt....

Will Flipkart suspend accounts of the repeated buyers of Redmi, Mi 3 or other fones??

Manu Jain of Xiaomi India had commented on MI India Page that even his account was deleted.

Just to have a backup if anyone misses the sale,ebay has it starting from Rs 51.

well, I am regular shopper of flipkart for last 2-3 yrs, consistently. And today was the 3rd Xiaomi Redmi from my account. Lets see what happens. Maybe consumer court awaits me.

Xiaomi slashes price :mrgreen:

I honestly couldn't care less. For all we know the NSA and a multitude of other spy agencies are already spying on us. What's one more anyway. Nothing is secure these days.

Probably a hoax. I haven't had any suspicious data transfer activities on dad's redmi 1s.

Hi!
Can some Redmi1s users please tell me, if there is a facility to switch one sim off without removing it physically (like in samsung sim card manager-- where u can simply switch one sim off with a software touch on/off button).

Thank you SaiyanGoku for the info. Actually I dont have that phone, but intend to buy one for my father, who needs to switch his office no. off daily after office hours, without physically removing it. Hence sought to know if such feature is there or not.

If the IAF is doubting Xioami, I will believe that it is actually a threat. There can be no smoke without a fire. These Chinese use our money to equip their soldiers who intrude our bounderies. I'll get off the Mi bandwagon. My Mi3 is up for sale!

Zangetsu said:

Its because the micloud is on by default in the phone and the micloud servers are in Beijing, Xiaomi has confirmed it and new units come with the cloud option turned off by default.

Guys, is there a way to make Redmi smooth and fast? Installing CM would help? I used Spice Android One and that thing is butter smooth and fast. Absolutely no waiting time after opening an application or settings. On Redmi(v45) I have to wait for a second or two.

Yeah you can try cm, if anything goes wrong it's pretty easy to restore to stock, since now there is fast boot rom for redmi
As far as I know the cyanogenmod bugs are trivial and it can be used as a daily driver
Try out and see
Use twrp recovery btw, cwm has some issue with cm
Or there is mired rom which is an optimized miui,

I have used redmi for only few hours but what I felt was v41 with tweaks gave me better perfOrmance and less heating when compared to v45

The Incinerator said:

Don't sell it bro. First research about the issue a bit. The issue actually is with Mi Cloud which can be very easily disabled. And it doesn't really break any privacy to be honest. Maybe the iaf just warned a little and as usual media hyped it up. I mean even apple 's I cloud is compromised. And that has been said by Apple outright but xiaomi hasn't said anything yet. In fact rumours are there that they will probably move the mi cloud servers outside of China. MI cloud isn't a security issue. If you really are worried install some custom Rom. Or Uninstall mi cloud and other xiaomi bloatware

SaiyanGoku said:

Actually he could just list it on olx and ask a higher price than what he bought it for. That is the demand for mi 3 lol

I never believed firstpost, I feel they are spammer

Actually the claim is there in many websites including digit. But I doubt it is true. I wonder what he did with his mi 3. The desire 816G seems like a strange phone. Mediatek crap at 20k. No thanks

Used skype for 20 minutes. After first 5 minutes of video-calling the device got smoking hot. Couldn't place it over the ear. Highly considering selling it. (Redmi)

Exactly huge downgrade!

I updated to miui v45 today battery performance improved alot but i am feeling ui is not as smooth as before what have they done in this update?

They are throttling the cpu a bit more aggressively I think and also I think they might have undervolted it
Not sure

Im thinking to sell My mi3 cause im bored to death with this crappy MIUI rom and its downsides and Xiaomi's false promise of releasing kernel sources before novermber. Even the Redmi 1s has an almost perfect Mokee ROM that eliminates all those much talked issues but Mi3's development has been halted since forever

you can try the official AOSP rom, many people are using it
but whats wrong with miui anyway? i find it perfectly functional, except for the times when i have to load the webpages again in browser ,its actually quite smooth and i have had no glitches in my phone , its stock and i have done nothing to it

Ram optimization is better in v45 update but overall experience seems a bit laggy compared to earlier firmwares.
Contact list opening or recent call list opening then delayed keyboard etc.... Heating is there but then my Lumia 520 too would heats up on par.

I did not do the factory reset after the update. Will that help??

For me nothing really to complain about @6k but getting bored of Android OS now. Had been using Windows phone till last month.

wcdma is for 3g. It is not the same as cdma. Slot 1 supports 3g, slot 2 only 2g. You can use gsm sim in both slots.

Totally agreed about sound preferences..

Had auditioned cowon em1 long back but at that point of time it was the best possible option under 1k

The OP was considering Some skull candies which are also know for bass heavy signature along with mi pistons.

Coming to Mi pistons [my exp.for 5-6 mins of audition] they sounded much clear & crisp compared to my Signature Acoustics C12 which are around 2500 INR[also known for bass heavy nature & warm sound]. Midrange of pistons do not get the blanketed/muffled feel compared to C12. bass bleading into midrange is almost none if not much lesser than SA C12.

Even joker a popular reviewer from headfi.org had reviewed pistons & spoken good about them..
Xiaomi Piston 2 Review | The Headphone List

Most people are looking for bass heavy phones, when I say bass heavy I mean the ones that can cause ear damage, I'm totally fine with the bass of my pistons
For me it's sort of balanced experience

Nah. I have used my friend 's spice dream uno. My Redmi seems much more slick

I used my sister's spice dream uno. Redmi couldn't match up. Redmi UI lagged (v45) while Spice was butter smooth. Absolutely no waiting time.

Slowly but surely this thread will end up Xiaomi Ranting Thread.

People who are complaining should not forget how much they have paid...
May not suit heavy gamers & multitaskers.
Very good for day to day use. Not to forget the quality display, excellent camera & finally music through earphones. Pair it with quality iems & you are good to go.

Different perspectives. Btw the lag isn't surprising considering you are on v45. It has aggressive cpu throttling. Stock firmware is smooth. And don't confuse snappy with slick. Stock android is snappy but looks ugly, atleast to me. Miui on the other hand is slick, what with the nice ui and transitions not to mention the much better screen of redmi. If you want smoother performance from your redmi flash pure performance X, you will surely feel the difference.

I have spice dream uno. Its by far the fastest and responsive UI That I have tried.

If by slick You mean neat and innovative, then I agree with you. Its does lag here and there at times.

I agree, My dream uno is much smoother but it lacks the quality on hardware side.

My friend played the demo video on default rom and the thing was hot like it was playing the video for hours. But apart from that it was running quite cool and there was no overheating after the system update.

I agree, stock kitkat 4.4.4 is quite boring.
The only thing I like about it is the ability to use a Portrait type wallpaper.

For for the plastic one. I have the leather which gets dirty, and the flash color is also tinted by the color of guard. So better get white or black one.

Friends, ordered a Redmi 1S today to replace my wife's Xperia L. Might get it by Friday.

After reading the reviews of that phone on flipkart, I believe the first thing to do to reduce heating and improve battery life should be to root the phone and underclock the processor to 1.2 GHz. What do you guys think? Would getting new updates become a problem if I do that?

Update to the latest V45 ROM, then root and install nofrillzcpu and under clock it. It will reduce the heat considerably, but it still can get warm. You can't OTA update if you are rooted, but you can download any new ROM in pc, transfer it to phone and update.

A friend of mine has Redmi 1S in his cart till tomorrow evening. If anyone wants please pm me. Can be ordered if COD is available.

Nah no need to do anything other than updating it to v45. It's doesnt' heat much unless you're using it while charging or gaming for long.
I'm using it since I say 20 days or so no heating issue experienced so far. I play Clash of Clans very often it doesn't heat much.

Experienced my first problem today with Redmi1s. It was saying Mobile Network not available even though SIM was available. Had to reinsert SIM and restart phone. Since phone was with my mom whole day I was not able to contact had to come from office and do the troubleshooting.

Do not update it to latest version(v45)Some redmi 1S user are saying after updating UI is laggy due to aggressive CPU throttling .Root your phone install coolify or you may try one power guard make sure you select conservative.

Corrected.

Anyone want redmi. I have extra in cart

I don't understand. How is the UI smooth if CPU is aggressively throttled?

I am yet to see any kind of UI smoothness problem after v45 update.

I have a redmi in my cart. Anyone want it? Can do cod.

I was trying the moronic thing of updating directly to 45 instead of updating to 43 than to ver 45

I obsereved recently that when I charge my phone via the Xiaomi charger even though the phone gets charged faster it's drains out faster as well. One of my colleagues told the same but I didn't believe till I experienced it.

Charger: Xiaomi 10400

Get the fast boot version, it's the local Indian version with all the apps

Got the phone... Updated to v45... Quite a decent phone for 6k... Almost as good as a Moto G... Total value for money.

Any recommendations for Headphone settings under Sound >> Optimise Audio Quality?

Also, please let me know if there is any way to disable capacitive hardware keys and enable software keys for the phone... That is one sore point while using this phone...

Good to hear that someone considers it as good as moto g. Have been reading too many bad reviews of redmi . People are focusing too much on the negatives of this phone.

I in love with this UI. some of the themes are so good.
Brings me back to nokia themes days.
Also the phone is so many features inbuilt, like recorder, notes, calendar, analog clocks, calculator flash light, screen shot, and all these widgets are part of the rom and neatly customized.
I have not even logged into the google account

If u Love iOS theme then u'll love MIUI, Meizu OS, Flyme OS etc

Redmi 1S is impressive for the price... It is not perfect, but very good. Have to keep reminding myself how little I paid for this phone and how foolish it is of me to compare it to a 35k phone...

I have rooted the phone, installed a custom recovery. Enabled soft keys using app *play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler&hl=en

This gave me a new hidden option inside Settiings >> Buttons to manage softkeys. This option should have been available out of the box. But for some reason, it is hidden.

I have found out that we cannot use Xposed framework with MIUI, so have not installed it yet. I have not found any way to disable hardware keys.

The phone is heavy, and very slippery. I have installed Google Now Launcher on the phone. 8 GB memory is not enough. No option to move apps to SD card.

Overall, for the price I have paid, I would give this phone 9/10... It would get 10/10 if this phone had AOSP of Cyanogenmod out of the box... Don't like MIUI...

Actually there is wsm tools which is a xposed alternative for miui. But I haven't installed it because it supposedly doesn't work on redmi. I don't want to brick my phone

Me too... I might brick the phone. If it was a Samsung or Sony, I would have done that, because recovering these phones is very easy as long as you can access Fastboot... But don't know much about Xiaomi and how easy it would be to recover from a brick...

wsm tools will work in redmi without any problem. I have wrote a tip on how to get back the electron beam (CRT) screen lock animation back in V45 using wsm tools.

Not tested. CRT effect is there in older version. Before trying take a backup using cwm or twrp.

I read it bro, that can't be true. You are yet to root your device remember :mrgreen:

do it will see what drains the battery

Don't know how to check whether it is genuine but All xiaomi products are sold in fk is by xiaomi itself so do t worry.

Since I have rooted the Redmi 1S, I wanted to downclock it a bit to save battery. I installed No Frills CPU Control. I was surprised to see the minimum frequency on the phone set to 900 MHz and maximum at 1600 MHz.

So, I reduced the minimum to 300 MHz, and max to 1300 MHz. But it does not work. It only accepts two options, 1600 MHz or 998 MHz. Also, values don't get applied on boot. If you reboot, you have to apply the frequencies manually. Unfortunately, there are no custom kernels for Redmi 1S at this moment... One good kernel can really help this phone...

Use one power guard. There you can set different profiles for your usage. I currently use it with on-demand governor and clocked at 1400 mhz. But still battery life is bad. It drains so fast, especially if you use 3g. On top of that the xiaomi charger is so slow. That is the biggest complaint I have from this phone. But the rest of the things are great.

Word of caution for future Redmi buyers

Moving on, what kind of price segments are you targeting in India?
We’re not looking at segmentation. We’re looking for these magic price points. We’re not actively saying that let’s make a device that we can sell for say Rs 18,999. Xiaomi has two kinds of devices, one is the high-end absolutely uncompromised Mi family and then there’s the Redmi family, which is high-end but with some compromises.

Dual SIM is nothing but hassle. You need to manually switch between the two whenever you need to call from one. Then when you realize your call isn't going through, you realize you forgot to do that. But this is not the most prominent reason.

Actual reason is that dual sim phone Android phones will never have the kind of developer support that a single sim have. Simply because most of the devs on XDA are from countries where only single sim phones are sold.

^^ I don't think single sim or dual sim matters as far as developer support is concerned. I think Redmi 1S has good developer support.

Between, I went through few reviews and I think 3G model has better performance than 4G.
But 3G model has MTK SoC where as 4G has SD.

3G Note or 4G Note or wait for MI4? Confused.

That octacore might get good score in performance, but SD 400 will be my choice any day as it has got 4G and costs just 1k more also dev support will be better for 4G variant...
[MENTION=149553]_prabhat[/MENTION] yeah redmi 1S has great dev support because it houses a SD chip inside....MediaTek has a whole different story....
By the time 4G model gets launched we will have an idea when Mi4 gonna arrive and OPO is coming soon too

I agree but 3G is dual sim and 4G is single sim. Also according to ndtv gadgests Xiaomi Redmi Note Launched at Rs. 8,999; 4G Model Coming Soon for Rs. 9,999 | NDTV Gadgets

The Redmi Note 4G, unlike the Redmi Note, will be also available in Airtel stores in six cities. Customers will have to register separately to buy a Redmi Note 4G from Airtel stores. It will be available in the second half of December.

So not sure how are they going to actually sell 4G version. Are they going to sell only in Airtel stores or they going to sell FK as well as in Airtel stores. I think they will sell 4G version on FK as well as in Airtel stores.

Agree. That is what I wanted to mention. Developer support is not based on single sim or dual sim. It depends on SoC and availablity of sources. Yes even I am interested in OPO

Yeah 4G is single sim only...Not sure if they gonna sell it through Airtel Stores also
And Mi4 won't launch anytime soon..OPO will have a good end year for sure...

Fk will sold 4G model but at a later stage. Initially the will start with 3g model.

Really?? Dual sim management on my Redmi is great. And I haven't had any call issues. The phone prompts which Sim you want to use when you want to call and the Sims are named unlike many dual sim phones where it is just written Sim 1 and Sim 2. I use docomo for calling and aircel 3g for Internet. Pretty good combo. And these days we do have premium handsets with dual sim support.

When I hear dual sim, I think of Micromax

Bought Redmi 1s today, kindly suggest good flip pouch

Also in today's sale there was screen guard, should I buy better

This phone I am planning to gift Dad (old phone Samsung galaxy duo music)

Guys how is the performance of note 3g ? Are the reviews good??
I've suggested it to my bro who lost his Asus zenfone5.
If reviews are good them redmi note 3g else Microsoft lumia 535

So does anyone recommend Pre-ordering Note 3g? I am thinking of gifting my dad at his wedding anniversary(he still uses Galaxy Ace-back from when it originally launched, not bad, but it lags terribly now). As I remember, Redmi 1S had a ton of software problems and patches after launch. It was sometime before you could hold it in your hand and not make an omelete on it.

On the other hand, Xiaomi is considerably more famous now and might not ship out an unfinished product(I hope).

Are you sure your dad will be comfortable with the huge 5.5" screen? How about Moto G with best android experience?

With Android 4.2 on board and no word on kitkat it will be a difficult pic for some.

Guys having a strange problem on my Redmi1s. Whenever I get an incoming call nothing is displayed. However after a while when I check the missed calls log I can find the incoming calls. I can however make outgoing calls without any issue.

This is most probably done by my 3 Year Old Daughter. It finds out almost 50% features we are not aware on our android phones.

Did you try the Sim in another phone?? Strange problem

I use only one Sim & that is working in 2g Sim slot.
It just stopped in evening around 7.30.

Did not reset the fone yet as need to take few backups

Check if the sim is set to use only 3g and change it to 2g only or 3g preferred.

Oh yeah, he's been wanting to buy a bigger phone for sometime now, anyway. I am more worried about constant software patching and whatnot. It's fine patching a video game, to correct the bugs and whatnot, but I expect a phone to just work when I buy it. Not after 1gb of patching up crap they should have done on launch.

There's also after-sales service. I heard-not very reliable, but still, that Xiaomi's worse than Micromax in that area.

Tried today also nothing happens

Cannot change the network setting its inactive.

Time to visit service center.

I think you should replace it. Even with v45 I have never heard of a problem like this. It could be that the handset is faulty.

the spec sheet is a turn off.. for sure.
but practically 720p on 5.5 won't matter unless you carefully scrutinize the display while reading holding too close to yourself! So I guess its fine.. but if you compare with other specs.. turned off.

I have seen the htc 816 display, it looks amazing!

I have the 10.1 inch xperia tablet z and ipad 9.7inch retina, at 224 ppi, its very good for reading! Can't see pixels..

On a tab anything above 200 ppi is absolutely ok you wont notice any pixels.

Hi guys, I want to buy Redmi note 4G

but i have a few questions ..
if i buy Redmi note 4G do i have to get a 4G Airtel connection with it as well?
or i can just buy it from flipkart or airtel store without taking any 4G connection?
Another Question , I am currently using Vodafone.. so if i take Redmi 4G note do i have to shift to Airtel network?
I hope someone can reply to my Qs

Thanks in advance

^ You aren't bound by any contract. Feel free to use any sim with it.

^^

Many thanks for the prompt reply , thanks mate

Got confirmation from flipkart that Redmi Note will be added to my cart at 6 p.m. tomorrow :owned:

^^ Do post a review

I

I am in for Redmi Note 3G. It has all things I need.
Big Screen, Good Camera, Dual Sim, 2GB with Octa Core.
Cons like old OS, low ppi, heating/battery drain no probs with me.

i should have waited :S

Got my Redmi 1s

Redmi Note, out of stock instantly.

This one is for my bro whose Asus Zenfone 5 was stolen during festive season, dual sim priority.
If I had to get it then Snapdragon would be my choice.
These fones are going to get Android 5 so no worries for me even my Redmi 1s will get it.

Do think of Zenfone 5 at same price but not so good battery in comparison.

kamikaz said:

In what sense bro.. :-?

I feel these specs are very good for the price. JB os is bit old but acceptable for average users.

[MENTION=82407]sandynator[/MENTION] agree with you on Snapdragon. But aint octacore and mali 450 better over snapdragon 400 and adreno 305? I want your views on the chipset and proccy.

Firstly I'm not that technical guys cannot comment much so my lay man's view...

On paper the specs are good but not sure of actual usage. IMO it could outperform 4g version but there are few question in my mind...

How will it handle MIUI?

Does any app on Android uses entire 8 core? Is it really required or for that matter 2gb ram to run device smoothly for day to day apps & small games?

Why can't the OS be optimized for 512mb or even 1gb ram & basic dual cores for day today usage in order to run the device lag free for months together. Heard Kitkat is smooth but can experience few lags on my Nexus 7 2012 too.

For me 4 core snapdragon will suffice even 2 krait cores will do

just the OS should be optimized well to run lag free.

Had Lumia 520 for 1 year & totally happy with it except battery life. Could play Asphalt 8 without any lags but I cannot dare to install it on my Redmi 1s.

Your point is very true too,it reminds of the Intel Q6600 days when we were all in dilemma as to what to buy Quad or Dual when in actuals those days hardly any application needed quad cores!!!

If any one has one in cart and won't need it please COD to me.

I'll let you know about note in next 20 to 30 minutes but do accept any offer if you get in between. I'm note able to connect with my bro
My bro is confused between Note 3g, Asus Zenfone 5 again [but when back to 10k] & Microsoft lumia 535[my suggestions].

Will update you soon

Though Antutu doesn't reflect real word perfomance Mediatek Octacore will score 28k while Snapdragon 400 will score around 17k so yes it surely is better.

And then paying Rs 10,000 for a phone which Xiaomi themselves sell at Rs 6000 as the Redmi1s with the same chip set is making me iffy.They could have priced both note 3g and 4g same,would have looked more rational IMO. Paying Rs 4000 more for just a larger screen and 4G which is yet to take off is putting me off. I think the 3G with octacore and a much better Mali 450 ( over adreno 305) will be a better bet and save me Rs 1K. What do you think?

Ah it was just my point of view,
But what matters is the preference of the buyer if you are happy with it, then that's it

Guys do you think with the launch of redmi note 3g the redmi 1s feels a bit overpriced??. I feel they should have launched it at 5k. Considering all the issues at launch

ravi847 said:

The higher battery capacity will benefit the 4G version more Imo if you don't use 4G. SD 400 is quite efficient. But the Mediatek octa core otoh will consume alot more power resulting in not so good battery life.

Minion said:

In day to day usage, the Mediatek won't make much of a difference. 8 cores aren't even used except in a few games. But the deal breaker is the gpu . Mali 450 far outperforms the adreno 305. But as a gamer who mostly plays retro titles or casual games, snapdragon would offer better battery life and dev support.

More people are black marketing the Xiaomi note than the actual number of people who purchased it :greedy:

Like someone said "NO FREE ICECREM 4-u"

So guys I used the note for some time and all I can say is its a great phone.
Only thing that bothered me is its large size but phablet so acceptable.
Display is crisp ...no pixels visible anywhere..colour reproduction is good...30% brightness is enough.
Camera is not that great. Front camera is good though.
I am yet to try any heavy games..played jumpy tile which played smoothly..no biggie there though.
Also ram usage reduced significantly after the first update.

MTK never release Kernel Source , hence custom ROM support is bleak.

_prabhat said:

Developer support is non-existant at this point. But we will see something in the future...

I got the Redmi Note today for my sister, replacing her aging Galaxy S3. Phone is huge... heavy... fat... very fast... less than average screen quality (compared to Galaxy S3 superamoled) but good brightness.

Overall, a worthy phone for 9k...

Main con is only 8 GB internal memory, out of which 6.5 GB is available and only around 4.1 GB left free on a clean phone with MIUI and assorted crapware... I would have been happy to pay 10k for a 16 GB version. Such a powerful phone hampered with low internal memory.

Have you guys used PC suite that comes with redmi 1s? It is in chinese. Can I get an English version?

They released for Android one. But mostly they don't release or ask for license fees to release.

Otherwise it's value for money phone as far as h/w is concerned but not having developer support is big NO for me.

To put it across simply and more clearly they don't release,there's no support. Android one is a different story altogether and not part of enthusiast level chipset.

It was the issue with SIM and Phone , even though it was working perfectly with Old phone , when i check the SIM it looks very old ( might have some old tech or something ) - I Replaced the SIM from BSNL , now both sim working perfectly

Redmi Note Camera quality is very very poor. Not expected. Thoroughly dissapointed. Red Mi 1S a Rs 5999 product is way way way better.

Sale tomorrow should I buy? What are the cons of this phone(one that you really notice-jellybean is not that slow, though a drain on the battery)?

Has anyone noticed the redmi 1s is still on sale, yet to go out of stock even after 24 hours, guess the demand has waned

So final verdict: I should get Redmi note,yes? Max budget is 10k, and no other phone offers these many features at this price. Any thoughts??

I would say go for it, if you manage to get hold of one during todays sale.

A Dummies guide to why Xiaomi phones have been banned in India - Hindustan Times

Im gonna sell My Mi3 now for 12K. anyone up?

Seems likely to be out of court settlement. Negotiations,Deals,Channel,...,etc., will ultimately make the device costlier for Indian Market.

Chances are that these patents are the same ones that Ericsson had mentioned when it filed a lawsuit against Indian phone maker Micromax last year.

Ericsson has also sued other smartphones makers like Gionee, Intex, Samsung and Acer over patents in the past. And yet, these brands continue to sell their devices around the world

.,....

My order for Note is actually still on the way(most likely won't be cancelled by FK). And Iam conflicted. On one hand, you can't get better features for less than 10k. I wasn't honestly expecting any service from Xiaomi even if the sales hadn't been banned(seriously, in tech like this, it's matter of luck. Either it works top notch-no problems, or it will die within two hours).

On the other hand, FK will stop selling Xiaomi soon. Obviously, the ban isn't permanent. India is X's 2nd biggest market, they won't give up without a fight. But its very much possible that some products will be discontinued, or X uses some new tech and the price will rise. Hell, the price is the only reason I even ordered a Note. Then when it comes back, I might regret the fact that I could have bought the lesser-priced version of Note, but chickened out.
That, and Ill still need to get a new phone for less than 10k. What will I get then? Asus zenfone? Moto E? Acer Liquid(12k)?? C'mon.... :???:

Cool down guys, this is an interim injunction, that means it has a due date after which it will be lifted. Currently I also filled an injunction against WBSEDCL for some dispute. So, from my experience this is not permanent and getting a permanent injunction against any company is almost impossible unless they are committing heinous crime. This is a tactics taken by profit leveraging companies to force their patent users to caugh up money.

_

It's not serious problem for today. But future Xiaomi phones will be sold at little higher prices. Because finally customers will have to bear this licensing fees to Ericsson. I don't know about these technology patents. But for pharma companies, all inventions are protected by a patent for 20 years. But I think technology patents are protected forever? Not sure.

Xiaomi's Letter to Indian MI fans *www.facebook.com/MiIndiaOfficial/posts/1562774497270449

Asus Zenphone 5 for 9k on offer seems like a better option than Redmi Note... Note is heavy, and very large to handle comfortably. And Android 4.2.2 on it is not well optimised. I am having a small regret buying the Redmi Note. Even the cheaper 6k Redmi 1S is faster than the 9k Redmi Note...

But Note does have a phenomenal battery life... That is the one good thing with this phone.

If I had to choose today, I would go for the Asus Zenphone. It also has 2 GB RAM, 8 GM ROM like the Redmi Note. The best thing, 720p 5" screen and 145g weight instead of heavy 200 gms of the Redmi Note.

How I ended up buying fake Xiaomi earphones from Amazon India | Digit.in

Guys have this strange problem whenever I Charge with my Xiaomi Power bank my Note2 gets charged very fast compared to normal charger however the battery gets drained out faster as well when I Charge with Xiaomi.

So I finally got my note on the 13th...and the back light indictor(the 3rd button from the small three buttons present at the bottom) was not working ie. it did it's job: exit out of apps,go back etc, but the red light LED wasn't working. I thought it's most likely a software bug, so I flashed to phone with the newer JHDMIBH38.0. Still not working. Everything else is fantastic: the camera, processor, GPU, and the Battery, man, I love this battery. Lasted nearly two days with 3g usage, texts/calls and some gaming. Still have 12% left.

What do you guys think? Should I call FK and check whether a replacement is possible(with the ban and all)? Thanks to the fact that you can switch off all red indicators in settings(to save battery;I enabled this option) I don't even notice it now. More importantly, I don't trust Xiaomi to serve an even more defective piece-this one is working fine except for that one fault. Maybe the saying "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush" will apply here??

PS: I posted this in the Official Xiaomi thread and My new purchases to get max replies.

By default, when you connect Redmi 1s to PC, it is detected as MTP device.

What is MTP?? Mass storage?? But when I connect my phone it shows device not recognized. Has happened on two different pcs running Windows 7 and Windows 8. Dunno what's wrong.

Go to device manager and check whether the driver is installed properly.

It will appear as a portable media device and not as a removable media. Checked both in Win 7 & 8.1 without installing any drivers. Double click the portable media player icon to view the internal and external memory.

same happened with me too phone used to connect to xp windows 7 without any drivers and stuff and it has stopped now so installed their MI Manager and working again. it failed to detect SD card before.

BBC News - China's Xiaomi unveils two thinner, lighter phablets

Mi4 launching on 28th in India

For your information. Xiaomi announces Mi Note and Mi Note Pro.
BBC News - China's Xiaomi unveils two thinner, lighter phablets

Your logic did not work. Check specifications of MI Note and MI Note Pro.

that's not redmi note buddy .. redmi note 2 will be announced wait for it..

that's a high end flagship phone .. redmi Series is for low budget.. this is even expensive than Mi4 starting at 370$

Redmi note 2 will have snapdragon 615 or Mediatek MT6752 ..

they might announce it at MWC which is in march .. by that time even 6795 will be ready .. so they might go with that as well.. but that's just me wishing for it as it will perform close to Snapdragon 810.. most likely it will be either SD 615 or Mediatek 6752 + 2gb ram for it to come at 140-150$

- - - Updated - - -

also didn't Redmi 2 turned out exactly what i stated

_prabhat said:
I think you are finding escape route.
Ok, tell me how long you want to wait? lol

Anyway just using common sense. Redmi 1S successor is named as Redmi 2. So I guess no more phone with Redmi series is coming otherwise they would have named it Redmi 2S etc. Another common sense is when Xiaomi just launched 2 Phablets Note, I don't think they will launch 3rd Phablet Note immediately. Keep in mind that you are just making speculations without anything to support your claims. It was a guess in media that Xiaomi may launch something like that. But Xiaomi surprised everyone with high end phablet, not just one but two.

escape route ? lol ... did you come and quoted me when redmi 2 turned out right ? no .. this is not even Redmi note 2 .. price difference is not just slightly apart it is more than double .. they are not even same products

waiting ? CES and MWC are the events where mostly all cellphones are announced apart from private events.. at CES they announced Redmi 2, and today they announced their flagship products at private event .. they got to have something to show up for MWC as well .. its
Mobile world congress afterall.. CES includes everything from the world of tech , while MWC is primarily related to mobiles..

Just like you would expect Most game related announcements at E3 Expo

naming scheme hardly matters .. it's the price + product placement that matters .. if they launch a phone with Snapdragon 810 , 4 gb ram , 1440p display , 5 inch at 350 $ and called it redmi 2s will you consider it as a successor of redmi 2 ? no right.. both are worlds apart and it will be considered as a successor of Mi4 , a flagship phone

anyways if you are not interested in speculation why are you even talking about it ? just follow Xiaomi's facebook page and you will get all the latest official info , no need to read any other speculative news or posts this is a discussion thread not an official news/announcement thread
you can discuss anything here .. reviews,opinions,upcoming products,leaks,analysis,troubleshooting,buying help, everything else

and leaks are not even discussed here that much.. it's usually when somebody else brings up a point or is considering a purchase in future,comparison , the discussion gets rolling

check this section for strictly official news

*www.digit.in/forum/technology-news/

we like to discuss about upcoming products as tech lovers so that we can make informed decisions with the info we have .. if you feel offended feel free to report

95 % of the time these things( quality leaks+ logical assumptions ) turns out right.. still nothing is set in stone and may turn out wrong as well.. if you don't like it simply ignore

my last post to you , good luck have a nice day :wave:

You are like astrologer. If predictions come true then you will say see how correctly I predicted. If they don't come true, then you will say now I don't want to discuss it. Bye. Don't get upset buddy. I just asked you "Do you have reliable source of information". You started giving me lectures about mobile industry, how information is leaked and how much you are expert in predictions etc. I did not use word official. I said reliable. I know from where to get official inforamation. Let me reiterate, I follow Xiaomi.

Your predications may or may not come true. There is no gurantee. But I wanted from where you got this information and this model is going be launched in 1-4 months etc. From where you found that Redmi Note2 will be launched in 1 to 4 months that too in India? Now you say the model will not be named Redmi Note 2. You clearly used words Redmi Note 2... in 1-4 months. If you don't want to discuss it further, I don't have problem but keep in mind if you are predicting, write it's my prediction and refrain from giving lectures. Sorry this is discussion thread, not lectures thread. I don't have interest in knowing how expert you are in predictions. If you are interested to discuss further, discuss in Private Message. Don't pollute thread with long essays.

Looks like you got really hurt by my reply ..

calling me an astrologer buhaaaaa...

the reason i said don't want to talk with you is because you don't actually listen .. and tell not to write long replies . whether you read the below reason or not i don't care .. atleast this info will be useful for somebody who actually wants to know .. for your convenience i have put it under spoiler tag so you don't have to read long replies if you don't want to read the reason

do you know what a smartphone is made up of ????? it is made up of SOC - it's called system on Chip .. its the processor,GPU,Radios all on 1 chip ..

it is the heart of every phone.. and it is officially announced at least 6 months before a Phone's Launch

and these SOC's come in classes .. there is chip for low end , mid range and high end .. this is all official data..

A smartphone manufacturer like Xiaomi,Nokia,sony,samsung, are Component assemblers , most of them don't produce anything themselves, only design it

they buy parts from other companies, and details of those parts are publicly available

have you used a laptop/pc ? it has a processor,GPU in it .. it will be either by intel or Amd .. you can easily tell what sort of configurations you will get from HP and Dell .. if you know what chips are being used by them .. and that data is officially available .. and when if tomorrow HP launches a PC with similar Specs , most likely Dell and Lenovo will come with similar processors as well .. same thing i said look at other chinese Competitors that have actually launched phones..

what i said wasn't even a prediction.. there is nothing to predict actually and i never said i am the one predictor or how right i am .. don't make false assumptions, it was not even mine what i was just pointing you that Leaks turns out right .. i simply said either it will be Sd615 or Mt6752 .. its like saying hey it will be either Amd or intel's mid range chip , based on competitor's products

for other specs you only have to look at past products ..

and then there are leaks .. benchmarks , pics , everything gets leaked in today's world.. look at majority of smartphones of 2014 .. from iphone to Xperia to LG g3 and you can find most of them leaked before launch ..

this is the basis of logical assumption, not baseless predictions

and what's up with this don't spoil thread, Pm me business ?

who started this ? i even forgot about you .. and suddenly i see your quote out of nowhere ...old discussion ended almost a month ago , and i even apologised for wrongly misinterpreting your post and ended the matter there ..

where did your sense of not spoiling thread go then when you started it ? you could have directly pm me if you wanted ..

and you asking how do i know that redmi Note 2 will be announced .. it is because it has been 1 year since original redmi note was announced .. and it is time for yearly upgrade, its getting too old now .. CES and MWC are easy expected targets , and not just for redmi but for all other phones as well .. they announced only Redmi 2 at CES leaving redmi note 2 for MWC.. and i never said they'll change the name .. i said naming scheme doesn't matters that much .. Price + Product placement does

ofcourse that is obvious that leaks can turn out wrong .. what's defensive about it ? leaks aren't coming from company CEO's you know, but since most of the times they turn out right , it is good to rely with confidence on them but you can't be 100 % sure as the leak itself sometimes comes from fakers and many times wrong as well.. and you never know when a company can change its practices/decisions.. take for example xiaomi itself .. now since xiaomi has become the next hottest thing in valuation , they have slowly started to raise prices on their phones .. both Mi note and Note Pro while still cheaper than rest are actually slightly expensive than expected ... Sony did the same thing .. they had a good 2013 and then in 2014 they started overpricing their phones.

nobody is lecturing you here ok .. you are yourself trying to start conversation and then later calling somebody else's post a lecture..

did i contact you or replied to any of your post since then ? or was it you who started it ?

now reply through Pm if you really care about not spoiling the thread .. matter already ended from my side

You need to grow up. This is discusssion/debate not gyan. Grow up, I am ready for discussion/debate. Not interested in your gyan and predictions. I believe in hard data not on speculations. Anyway let me know when you grow up. Bye

Copy contacts to the sim card in Nokia phone. Then in Redmi, open contacts, press menu button > Import/Export > Import from Sim card. Select save location as google (your gmail id). It is better than keeping contacts in phone memory.

B

If it is more than 250contacts it will be a hassle.
One more option is, open contacts > press menu button > Import/Export > import from another phone > then select your old mob brand like samsung, sony, nokia, etc and proceed further. It'll import your all contacts via Bluetooth from your old ph to redmi 1s (or any xiaomi mob). and save them in gmail id as suggested by our FM. Pretty easy option than others (if your old mob supports it).

Hope it helps! :thumbs:

I might get one if 64GB is around 19 or 20k.

Our Mi3 is better than mi4 in terms of price/feature, i think

Definitely 20k is bit overpriced, for a 3g only phone, considering other options in the same price may be they will reduce price by another 2-3k
I think honor 6 is a better phone over all I think
And those who were deliberating on OPO will surely go for it too now
Mi note is expected to be released here during Diwali, thats a long way off

And if you are updating, give us a shot review, bugs if any etc

There is no mention of 64 gb it's gonna be 3g only version. And white one
It's a backward step from Xiaomi, imo

I was hoping MI4 will give a tough competition to OPO. But OPO has an upper hand now

This mobile phone has superb features but it is now banned in India

In the mi4 Chennai event today hugo barra has said that mi4 64gb will be coming pretty soon, (considering how he had responded to queries regarding mi3 before, I don't really trust this guy, but let's hope for the best)
Also from mi note devices, kernel sources will be released from the date of release in china

They will eventually release note series but when and how much is still the question.

Mi note, is scheduled to be released on or around Diwali, thats what they said, and its around 10 months from now isn't it, thats quite a bit of time!!

S

Got MIUI v6 update on my dad's Mi3 today. It's smooth but every once in a while "google play services has stopped working" pops up. Let's hope Xiaomi fixes this soon. The UI though is totally different from v5 and it will take some time to get accustomed to the changes.

R

Why no update is still not showing on my phone ?

Guys Is Mi3 worth for 9-10k with 1 month seller warranty? The sellers price is 11k.

The phone is used for 10 days & seller quotes that he has got 1000 pieces from flipkart which are returns under return policy.

He is also selling for higher price on ebay with 6 months sellers warranty.

Guys Is Mi3 worth for 9-10k with 1 month seller warranty? The sellers price is 11k.

The phone is used for 10 days & seller quotes that he has got 1000 pieces from flipkart which are returns under return policy.

He is also selling for higher price on ebay with 6 months sellers warranty.

what say?

Flipkart gives a 25% refund to the seller along with the returned phone.

At 9k, Mi3 is an excellent deal.

Could you please elaborate.,.
I find it bit risky as no official warranty..
9-10k for six months warranty left piece is fine for me.

Will I get it serviced (I mean paid service) by Xiaomi India in case problem arises?

Got an assured mi4 16gb to be added to my cart as a flipkart first customer. Since i wont be needing it, any intesrested tdf member may pm their address and details if they want a cod order for it. Ask around. Few days to go.

Lol, no one is forcing anyone to buy, for flipkart first customers the first 2.5k people who register for the sale get an assured mi4, in the cart
Which he got
I had also registered and should have one in mine, atm though my cousin is on double mind
So if the phone free's up on that day I'll let it be known here for those who are interested

Correct mate. I'll not be buying it. Someone might. And getting one in flash sales is frustrating to say the least. So I was asking around. If nobody bought it, it will expire(pun intended) from the cart.

amjath said:

No, not at all. I had registered early. Wanted to check whether they considered me a flipkart first customer at all!

My cousin has a channel on Flipkart. He says up to 1% of sold phones are returned. Some buyers are as*holes. They buy a phone, usually to show off in some party, then return it, even though everything with the phone is fine. There will always be such buyers, and this is the cost of doing business.

So, it is possible that the Mi3 phones are good, but still returned. You will just have to check before buying, as there is a small amount of risk.

I had myself bought a 10-day used Moto G for 9k instead of the ongoing price of 14k in March last year, and it has been working fine.

Started using a Micromax charger that I found lying around for my redmi 1s. It is supposedly a 1000mA charger whereas on the xiaomi one it is written 2000mA. But this charger is so damn fast that it's not even funny. Can't say the same about the xiaomi charger. Wonder what's wrong with it.

Yeah it's true, I have heard the same from the delivery guy, he mentioned people buying phone and then returning just before 30 days!! For no apparent reason

Has it affected your battery drain in any way? Does the phone discharge faster etc?

No the discharge speed is normal ie same as before but the charging speed is phenomenal . Much faster than before.

You could reset while keeping the previous data, in settings > backup & reset > leave/disable the option 'Erase apps' and 'Erase store content' and press reset phone. After this if u dont find any problem leave it or you need to do full reset.

But before doing reset, I strongly suggest you to wipe the cache memory. sometimes it create conflicts between previously installed apps with updated version. If wiping cache solves ur prob I think no need for reset.

but how to wipe something calle vkalir cache idk but something to do with cache.

B

How to wipe cache? actually the below way I used to clear my mi3 cache, hope it is same for Redmi 1s also.

Open updater app > Menu > Reboot to Recovery
After Reboot..... in Recovery use the 'volume keys' for moving up and down.
Select Wipe Cache and then press the 'Power Button' to select the option.
Pl DO NOT DO anything else in Recovery Mode unless you know it very well.
It takes around 5-10 min, be patient during the process.

Hope you had 'backed up' before updating. Keep that safe until all probs solved.

When its clearly stated from MI/Xiaomi that only Flipkart is the authorised distri/retailer of its products in India, still people take an unwarranted route is sheer example of an ignorant fool!

Rather than ranting about it, good he learned his lesson the hard way!
Why should MI/Xiaomi even keep a check on such activities, its the buyer who has to look what he/she picks up to his/her whims; even after a clear statement from the company!

Infact an ebay seller "allphoneunlock" too had a good reputation initially about originality in the MI products he sold online, but yes it comes at a slight premium!

so anybody bought the 64GB version today :-D

C

Have one 64gb mi 4 in cart if anyone needs please pm time only till 5:30

I did. Mi4 64 gb. Excited to see how is miui.

Yes that might be true but its matter of personal choice. Nothing else. This phone is for my brother and he prefers a flip case. The phone will go through a bit of rough use. Keys and stuff.

I was thinking of buying mi4 16 gb for my sis but when I read the reviews on flipkart, all the buyers (certified) are only saying one thing that the device overheats a lot even with minimal use!! :shock:

Anyone who bought mi4 facing this issue?
I am not sure now wether to buy it or not....

I think mi4 is not a proper upgrade from mi3...

stay away from Xioami thats all.

Overheating has always been a problem for Mi4 may be a construction problem like xperia lineup used to have.

Has anyone updated their mi3 to the latest version ie. Miui 6?
How's it?
Is it worth updating or still stick with old one?

Dude, you may be right about Mi4 not being a big update, but that's the culture nowadays, with mostly every company.

Regarding overheating, let me tell you that I have a Redmi 1S which I've posted a review of too, on this site.
Earlier it also used to overheat, but on software update v45, the issue is solved.

When a Rs. 6000 phone can get updates even today, I have all the reasons to believe Mi should solve your problem too by a software update. They might underclock the hardware slightly, or make some other adjustments to other internal conditions...

I would say, if you can wait, then wait. You'll know about the update status on internet. Otherwise, get it.

TheHumanBot said:

Ouch! That's a kick to Mi's nuts.

Let's be positive... Surely, an update will roll out.

Maybe unrelated but here it goes.

Check out ebay seller allphoneunlock... he imports xiaomi products in India..... I have bought powerbank from him...
He has also listed some components too so may be you can buy display online and get it fixed from local shop...

I went to official service centre.
6500 rs

The only good news is that they took an hour to replace it.
I have also bought a new bag to carry my phone around.

Ps: how is the powerbank? I am interested in it

Man i would say wow so fast they replaced your screen within 1 hrs while others take anywhere from 15 days to 3 months for replacing display.6.5k is a fair price all other manufactures will charge you half the price of phone for changing display.

Get the 10,000 Mah one.Heard good things about xiaomi powerbanks.

Try setting a pattern or password unlock instead of the normal unlock. Maybe the phone is getting unlocked by its own in your pocket.

The phone was worth every rupee when it was on flipkart for 6k. At 5.5k or even 4.5k, its literally a giveaway. You don't get that hardware from any top selling OEM under 12k.

I'm looking to buy the redmi 2 tomorrow in the flash sale. But the thing is I will be away from home and I won't have access to a computer. So I was wondering whether I can secure the phone via the flipkart app or should i log in using desktop version on phone browser and try that way. Please advice.

It was gone in a few seconds.

Guys quick reply please if you don't mind. I am in kinda hurry. How much will be the difference in speed between class 4, class 6 and class 10 SD cards in a phone like redmi 1s. Can it even take full advantage of the class 10's speed?? Class 4 is 249, class 6 285 and class 10 315. All prices are from flipkart. Which one should I get?
8gb card btw

Get Class 10. It means minimum 10 mbps write speed. More the Class the better.
Phones usually take advantage of higher write speed card while recording videos of 720p or 1080p.

My Z10 and Lenovo tablet have issues if charged from anything other than the original wall charger

My 720,820,Nexus 5 and 7,iPads have no issues whatsover

^^This must be a problem with these chinese ones. This is the reason I do not use these chinese power bank.

My Redmi 1S wasn't getting detected in my pc no matter how much I tried. Installing adb drivers, installing USB drivers. But still it showed USB device not recognized. Then I decided to use a different cable. This time a Micromax cable from the charger I use (which is btw much better than the xiaomi stock charger) and lo and behold it worked. Strange issue. The xiaomi cable works fine for charging though. Now I am wondering if slow charging in xiaomi charger was due to adapter or the cable itself. Will have to test it

If our purpose is to have phone charged for say an hour or so then I think it serves the purpose even if it's charged to 100%.

this wire problem happens with many things (it due to quality of wires AFAIK). I used a local USB cable and my phone's battery was being depleted rather than being charged, its the same reason why you cant HDDs using some USB cables

For using Resurrection Remix ROM you have to stick around for a long time. They update is regularly but it is rarely bug free.

I think there are plenty of options for redmi now
Check its subsection on XDA
With custom kernels people are getting 5 hours + sot and so on
From what I have read the "xcelerate". Kernel seems to be the one that gives good efficiency,

No Frillz CPU Control doesn't work. I'm on 1.19GHz and it's still overheating like before.
Anything else?

Check its subsection on XDA
With custom kernels people are getting 5 hours + sot and so on
From what I have read the "xcelerate". Kernel seems to be the one that gives good efficiency,
Wanted to test it myself, but sis has become a big fan of miui and its themes... Women!

Will look into that.

Yep. Will flashing kernels work in any way?

adityak469 said:

Well I cant say for sure but you should be able to control your cpu frequencies after flashing custom kernel
But for redmi you need to flash cyanogen mod or other custom roms too, I don't think there is a kernel that's useable with native rom
It's pretty easy to revert back to original rom if you want to
It's better to flash and see how it pans out for you

only reason i am not flashing to custom rom is it will like any other android device :S

Yes, you can increase battery life by just selecting smartass 2 CPU scheduler.

Kernel is a different story all together. CM already has it's kernel.

dude, go to xda and try the xcelerate kernel, read the thread about it ,i think you should be able to get some kind of solution, it has optimised a lot of parameters, i have seen people posting images of heavely underclocked cpus
they are using another app called synapse to change the parameters , so you will have to go through the last few pages to find the settings others are using
since i dont own the device , i cant say for sure , it will all work ,so the only way for you to find out is to try out the options on XDA, or ask around that forum, there is QnA thread
bear in mind to read and find out what to do and what not to do

Never encountered any issues like that. Do you run many apps in the background?? What firmware is it running on?? It could be the cpu throttling kicking in.

Root it and hibernate all user apps from greenify. That'll not only prevent them from running in the background but also increase the battery life. Also remove unrequired apps from startup.

Surely this game shouldn't require all that steps.

MIUI 5 is bogging down that hardware. Else on AOSP based roms or MIUI6, it shouldn't be a problem.

Used a friend's Redmi 2 some days back. MIUI 6 is way smoother than MIUI 5.

Indeed MiUI 6 has made a lot of improvement but RAM consumption is still a issue.

Hey, can any one of you please try playing an H265 codec based video in redmi note 4g using mx player and report back if it plays it smoothly (audio video in sync) or not...
The moto g2 with the same processor does !!!

^^Any phone can play that format with ease considering the same chipset is used in moto g it should play similarly.

Thanks for the reply. I was hopeful for a while after reading your post. Then I checked and found this is not the case. I disabled reenabled it multiple times but nothing doing!! ;( Thanks for the reply though, I didn't know there is such a setting. Incredible that miui does not have inbuilt onscreen navigation button option. Or does it?

Looks like the new Mi4i does not have a memory card slot !! what a bummer !! :/

Yeah that phone would have scored a 10/10 if it had a memory card, but even still its a pretty enticing phone

It can also automatically unlock Mi phones and other Android 5.0 devices. First 1,000 units will be sold for Re 1 and registrations for the same starts on April 28. The Mi Band is water-resistant and will be available in several strap colours like Black, Blue, Green and Pink along with leather straps too

After my Asus zenfone 5 display failure & seeing the entire MI 4i event I'm getting inclined to it. Just 16GB memory is bit let down for me.

I want compact phone especially 4.5 to 4.7 inch with quality HD Display. Battery Backup is also important aspect. Do not want to carry a brick in my pocket anymore.

My zenfone 5 is almost as huge as any 6 inch phablet.
I guess all Zenfone 2 are 5.5 inch at present so I believe it will be similar to my Nexus 7 in dimensions

.

I'm not an avid android lover but this Mi4i caught my attention. Still unsure to get it or not.

At present I'm using my old Sony Ericsson Cedar java phone & cannot access net while traveling so pretty fed up & I may even get some 3g tablet to replace my nexus 7 2012 wifi 32 gb if I found any good alternative around 10k
OR
I may even get some cheap 3g phone with WiFi hotspot feature to access net on Nexus 7 WiFi & Lenovo Flex10 netbook.

Yes, something like Huawei E5220 data card is useful but I will require a decent budget mobile phone to keep it as a spare phone as my SE Cedar may not hold on for long. The spare phone will be handy at times when the main phone just like my Zenfone 5 lands in service centre for repairs Or in case when I sell off my phone to get some better one.

I need to plan. Most probaly I will be in office so need to check if I have access there.
With so many guys buying products from flash sale I thought someone will know.

The other day when I selected the Register option for Mi4 it directed me to the flipkart site hence that maybe the reason why amjath is suggesting flipkart.

Still nothing on page also keep checking FB page too.
Possibility at 00.00 am too....

Go through last 10 minutes of launch video, there he mentioned Mi band exclusive on mi.com while mi4i will be first on Flipkart & then all channels including mi.com

Guys looks like there is sale today for Mi4i today at flipkart.
How many of you are planning to get one?

I got one in my cart.

S

I bought one for my Mom. She's currently using Redmi 1S and this seemed like a nice upgrade.

S

I have a MI 4i in my cart.

anyone interested to buy it??(at the original price i will ship it to ur address directly from flipkart with COD so the person buying it pays for the phone on delivery.)

Please do reply fast the phone will be deleted from the cart at 6pm.

I have one in my cart too. Interested ones contact asap, I will do COD.

I bought one. COD. No next day delivery even for Flipkart First subscribers. Delivery times were May 7th for Hyderabad. I will be in Maharastra at that time, so gave that address. Delivery time is May 12th (small town). That is slow delivery.

I just hope the phone is as good as is being hyped up to be.

Since I was trying to get a hand on Yureka I couldn't get hold of this.
Got a message out of Stock in flipkart after I was trying to get hold of Yureka.

For 13k, I'd rather get Zenfone 2 than Mi4i.

All those who have booked mi4i today please post your views.

bro any specific reason or just for large display. Memory of 12 gb usable is let down for mi4i but I feel its perfect for those who love compact design.

Don't like MIUI and Z3560 is better than the SD615. I'm willing to take a hit on dev support too. HD screen should give better battery life than FHD one.

Display/phone size isn't a concern. Mi 4i doesn't feels VFM when compared to their previous flagship Mi3.

Zenfone 2 ZE550ML (13k) vs Xiaomi Mi 4i

Asus Zenfone 2 ZE550ML vs. Xiaomi Mi 4i - GSMArena.com

Zenfone 2 has a 5.5" screen @ 720p (267 ppi)
Mi4i has a 5" screen @ 1080p (441 ppi)

Zenfone 2 weight 170 grams
Mi4i weight 130 grams

Zenfone 2 has an SD card slot, which Mi4i does not.

Rest of the things are similar.

I believe Mi4i is a better phone at 13k because of better screen, other things being equal.

So you are saying the main 2 Reasons against Mi4i is
1. No support for SD Card
2. You don't like MIUI.

I think they will release 32 or 64 GB version also

No, the SoC is one of the main reasons.

ZE550ML's Intel Z3560 performs similar if not better than the higher clocked Snapdragon 801, while Snapdragon 615 performs better than previous gen Snapdragon 600/ S4 Pro.

Nope, its a good device.

Okay. Thanks

Should continue with it. Why didn't you went for mi4i?

I guess, it costs 13k. I don't have much money. I'm asking about a phone that's understood its a budget restriction. Else I would have got anything. -_-

If possible try to get the A6000 Plus. It costs just 500 more but has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal compared to the 1 GB and 8 GB on the Redmi 2.

Or maybe a yureka?

A6000 (both regular and plus) have the Snapdragon 410, same as Redmi 2. So I guess it might have been something else.

Probably due to the bloated UI of lenovo.. And maybe the subpar service centres that some are complaining about.

Yes only due to the bloated software, I skipped lenovo.

I bet there was no unit for sale. They are just toying with us.

They just made the best hit for the site today.

This is like FBB sale all over again.. Ch***ya bana diya sabko

their Facebook page is getting some huge "Love" from the guys who didn't get the Mi Band!!

Xiaomi says sold out in 7 secs but I think it was sold out even before sale started.

I was able to buy it both time and as soon as I click buy it takes me to page saying you are in line and then sorry we are out of stock. WTF man. And yet so sign of that full cost variant.

I'm hoping this doesn't ends up selling for 1500-2000 on ebay, olx etc like previous products from flash sale ended up. :lol:

And for those who try to sell it for profit, may somebody cut their internet connection off forever. :twisted:

Copied from Twitter : Next time if they ask how many friends or followers are there just say over 1000

Lol. Totally forgot about this sale.

Allu Azad said:

Saved yourself from disappointment.

Before logging in I just had a thought in mind what if seriously these guys sold the bands at higher prices to somebody else?
And I'm pretty much sure among the 1000 bands there is atleast one person who is going to sell that a premium price. Mean to say his purpose to get the band was to sell it to someone rather than for self.
If that is the case then the guy who buys from him should screw him up after the band goes kaput.
(Hoping that band goes kaput in a day of the 2nd person buying)

This was just a publicity stunt.....I was online at 2 pm... can't be sold out in 1 second. I hate scumbag companies.....

Most of the people buying it for Re. 1 won't even know what it does basically. :rofl:

I think only ppl who have more than 1K followers on twitter have got it.

I have doubt even if the people who developed this know what it is supposed to do based on a review I checked just now.
Also with these fitness bands sometimes it can end up being a lottery.
I invested in one which costed 12k from a reputed brand as I bought outside of India.
It hardly lasted for couple of months.
If this one lasts even a month it would be great I should say.

well, there the great indian summer sale on amazon on 6th, 7th & 8th of may.. Amazon says Lots of good deals will be present( lightning deals, of course..)
Look out for snapdeal as well.. They're Notoriously famous for Having a sale on the same day as flipkart/amazon...

The thing is .. I want the Mi Band ASAP. I had canceled my order for GoQii few months ago and was waiting for MiBand to be launched in India. I thought I would be able to purchase the product with full price. but alas its that freaking flash sale. :/

Even I was keen to check this out especially if it's available for Re 1.
I had checked for an international review couple of months ago and liked the product.
But one local review wasn't so promising.
Any news on when this will be available again?

D

I don't get why only 1k bands were there on sale? They should have at least put 10-20k bands. Only the first 1k should have got for Re 1

just saw Mi4i from friend...
Its so lightweight...feels like handling wool :-D

I hope you are right but I think metro logic may be valid. Many like me who live in smaller towns clicked on Buy Now in fraction of seconds and got one more screen with one more Bye Now and You are in Queue before seeing screen sold out. Whole this thing took placed in 2-4 seconds, and Xiaomi is saying it went out of stock in 7 seconds. I don't believe it. Why Xiaomi want information how many followers I have on twitter or how many friends I have on facebook for 1 Re sale of band? The reason I think this logic of metro city may be right because probably Xiaomi may not have ready network in smaller towns. There is one more logic which is being talked on twitter is only people from south India got it. Now they sold only 1000 units. So difficult to conclude something. But I am surprised when I saw sold out within 2-4 seonds while Xiaomi claims they sold out in 7 seonds. I am not convinced. Either sold out in 4 seonds or Xiaomi's claim of 7 seconds is wrong. Something is wrong for sure.

Just got my mom's Redmi 2 as a mother's day gift. But she is out of town and will be back only on Tuesday

First impression
The device is lightweight
Looks cute
MIUI/device lags like hell. The device is just opened and I installed the latest update too.The lag is unbearable for me. Will replace the $hitty launcher with some other. I don't think Aviate will be smooth in this mobile. Let me try a few out. But as my mom won't be using it anything other than phone calls and a few games, it should be fine.

And a question.. Please suggest a good tempered glass screen protector. Price up to Rs.700 is fine.

^ try Nova Launcher instead.

And if I were you, I'd rather flash an AOSP rom on it, get rid of MIUI.

Which rom will you guys recommend for Redmi1s. I am still on v45. Waiting for stable miui 6.

I'm having a issue in replacing the Mi-Recovery with CWM.
Dev options are enabled + USB debugging.

guys i bricked(soft i think) my mi3 can anyone help me to recover it. Need suggestion asap.
It stuck in mi logo.

On a Redmi Note 3G, I tried to install WSM tools v2.3.3. I didn't know not to reboot when it asked me to(we have to delete files with .jex extension). I can't seem to boot into my device anymore. it's stuck at the start up screen.

I entered recovery.(Volume - power together and select recovery). It shows me message:" NO COMMAND."

I entered fastboot mode to use custom recovery, using Command Prompt. It gives me the message :"Partition recovery not support flash."

Please, some help??

EDIT: Nevermind. Practised google-fu, found the solution: Unbrick Redmi 3g.

I actually started going to park and running about a km. Maybe it's a craze that will soon fade soon after the band is about a month old.

Also I always try to walk in my house whenever I get time. Increases my steps
The alarm feature is quite handy. I like the vibrate feature much more than the alarm tones.

^Great

I had pretty bad experience with one of the bands I bought for around 10k. It did ok for the first couple of months.
But it died eventually.
Some of the areas where I think most of these bands may not work is in case if someone is working out say in gym.
Will be good for tracking sleep and number of steps.
I think mi band will do the same.

2. No it doesn't heat up like Redmi 1S. It may get a little warm on prolonged use, but its not uncomfortable like Redmi 1S.

^1S is now perfectly stable with no overheating.

V53 update now available for Redmi 1S, no major changes though.

I also have a n4. Ordered mi4 64 GB for 15.4k. 5k exchange for my n4 and 10% off for axis card. The deal was on for 2 days on Flipkart about 2-3 days back.

Ordered a redmi note 4g .
Cost me 7.2k under exchange for my micromax a110 and axis bank 10% discount .
Already have redmi 1s and s3 , s4 and moto g (2013) .

I won't because I simply don't want a phablet.... Mi4 has width same as my N4, that's why it is under consideration.....

My first option is Z3 compact (Z2/Z3 are not suitable for me), i want to keep Mi4 as second option if I'm unable to spend for Z3 compact

I was on the same boat as you are, owned galaxy s2 wanted to use a device of same size and mid budget so I was looking at compact series. When one plus one arrived it looked huge to me but feels smaller. I once thought I might not handle this size but I moved on. My hands is experienced now I'm typing this in one hand standing in public transport. Everyone will move on.

if you are fine with miui os, consider it, otherwise look for alternatives

^i have seen best Dev for the oneplus than any other device either it is rom or kernel

I was on the same boat as you are, owned galaxy s2 wanted to use a device of same size and mid budget so I was looking at compact series. When one plus one arrived it looked huge to me but feels smaller. I once thought I might not handle this size but I moved on. My hands is experienced now I'm typing this in one hand standing in public transport. Everyone will move on.

If you don't leap to get things from the heights then you will never become taller.

Now after using 5.5" OPO my good old ipod Touch 4G (3.5") feels like Nokia Smaller size phone....all bcoz of brain inception

I'm fine with MIUI..... Moto X2 doesn't please me that much, then there is size issue..... I prefer using phone with one hand.... Anything less than 70mm wide should be fine

Paytm n Freecharge..... Mobikwik is also one, i guess..... Isn't paytm n freecharge apps running in your 1S with MIUI?

yep , problem is these apps require otp or msg code sent by these apps for activation is directly read from inbox . But MUi actually interferes with it n hence cant use these apps

I have a query regarding Xiaomi Powerbanks.

I want to know that If I attach a device which requires 1A or lesser to run (like Huwaei Wingle E8231) to one of the USB ports of the powerbank, will it be able to adjust the output current according to the attached device and hence, will be able to supply 1A current instead of the regular 2A. The Huwaei Wingle doesn't run on 2A.

The Huwaei Wingle doesn't run on 2A.

There will be no current restriction from power bank or any other device. The receiver device should restrict the extra current.

[MENTION=127004]amjath[/MENTION] Sadly, that's not true. I have a OPO powerbank and it supplies 2A current, instead of 1A current to the wingle when it is attached to one of its ports.

Read my review of OPO powerbank to know the details of this problem. This is why I want to be sure before buying another one.

so wifi bluetooth stopped working and now my phone won't even start nothing. put it on charge nothing happens. left on charge whole night 16 hours nothing happened. when i plug in charger those indicator lights won't blink at all. it's dead. :lol:

last evening went to service centre without carrying invoice and guy asked me money which i agreed to pay as i am in need of a phone =/ he took the phone put it on charge nothing happened gave me back my phone after wasting my 45 minutes and he did nothing phone was still dead and he dared to ask me for the money i agreed to pay :lol:

Guys, if anyone know the sale date for Mi 16000 mAh Power bank then please do mention here.

Thanks in Advance.

Picked redmi 2 yesterday for 6.3k

Received my mi 16000mah powerbank.

Poor packaging but prompt delivery. Got it under 48 hrs from booking.
The plastic protective sheet which comes over mi powerbank was removed earlier & full of dust stuck to it. It was just kept over it & fell off as soon as I opened the package. So I guess it was returned by someone.

I had contacted nearest service centre to get adaptor for my powerbank & their quote was 800 rupees for adaptor only. I was asked to book it by paying now & wait for 20 days.

Better look out for adaptor which has an output of DC5.0V == 2000mA

Not using any case. Just front and back screen guard bought from online..not any particular brand. As of roms, using stock. As kernel source is not yet released, so performance might be bad than the stock one, What about you?

prudhivisekhar said:

Dual booting with CM11 and MIUI... Though I predominantly use CM11... Using a tempered glass and a flip cover (Apple smart cover type)...

I do wish they release the kernel source...

Cancel it upfront.
Incase it arrives do not accept it & call customer care mentioning it at same time.

No worries amazon service is better if its fulfilled by amazon.
I had returned a watch & got the amount credited back by the end of 2nd day after pick up.

Zangetsu said:

No. A couple of settings get reset like privacy settings i.e. which all apps have been marked to ask pass before opening, nothing serious though.

Overall, it's a refreshing change, and it's much much smoother now.

Many required options are a welcome change for ex- call/sms pref for any particular SIM; earlier it asked every time you dialed a no.

Some things have been left out for ex the lock-screen earlier provided options to open messaging or dialer directly, which is now restricted to camera only. Plus, the app drawer had option to go to other toggles, now there are fixed 9 toggles, which can be just replaced with other toggles. But I normally require more than 9 which troubles me.

Overall, it's a must update. But you have to first update to v56, then only it'll show MiUI v6.6 update.

One more thing, it unroots the phone, and I guess the older root method doesn't work for this. :-x

You can root it by following [Device Team] Easiest way to root Redmi 1S with MIUI 6 Global ROM by MI-Recovery - Redmi 1S - Xiaomi MIUI Official Forum this method.
I did that.

My antutu score is only 16422. Can you please check yours?

Anyone got a zip for Redmi 1S stock recovery? My phone is one TWRP, and so I cannot update to v56.

Did you check OTA? Try with Mi PcSuite. Afaik all of those files are in miui forum.

SaiyanGoku said:

Well, if you compare it with MiUI v5, then no, there are many reasons to switch.

Counting:

- the overall UI seems a refreshing change.
- swapping between apps has become much smoother now.
- free RAM is also higher, only a bit though, may be 10% (at least in my case)
- every things seems to be smoother now
- a couple of features here and there are added for better UX

If you ask a reason not to switch to v6, then that'll be in only 1 case, when one doesn't like MiUI in the first case.

Zangetsu said:

Should be final build. Makes no sense that a beta build will be pushed as OTA.

AndroidFan said:

IIRC I had also flashed TWRP but my phone was still able to update through OTA. However, in mid of updates, my recovery got reverted to stock (I never realised till now)

Guys on my friend's Redmi 1S he is unable to view the contacts name instead their numbers are being displayed.
Is there any fix for this problem?

The camera has improved a LOT after the v6 update (1S).

Taking DoF photos are a piece of cake now. Focusing has improved a lot.

I had a tough time figuring out why whatsapp is not working while using mobile data in redmi 2. All other apps work with mobile data. Later I found that it is due to wrong apn settings. If you are using bsnl sim, set apn as bsnlnet instead of bsnlgprs.

Mi3 has SD 800 so it is worth to spend 6.5k My suggestion is to fix your phone in official Mi service centre. if spending 6.5k is too much for you. You can get redmi 2 for 6k but don't expect same performance as SD800.

None. Mi 4i is a downgrade. Better wait for a year or so.

my mi3 screen cracked,i have replaced it with a local one & giving it to my brother. 15K max.

You will run out of space on a 16gb Mi4.Extend your budget and get 64 gb version .If you are fine carrying a OTG pendrive get the 16gb Mi4.Also do remember Mi4 is a single sim 3g phone.No 4g.

get it eyes closed.

I bought 3 16000 mah so far for my friends and colleagues.

My short experience is good. Hardly full charged 2-3 times. Retention of power is good.

It takes longer time to charge competely. In my case around 13-14 hours

I have had a bad experience with Mi4i. Good hardware burdened by buggy software. MIUI is crap, total garbage. Everything is slow, especially in the Lollipop builds. And no decent custom ROM support on XDA.

Nothing can beat stock android. I would recommend Moto G 3rd Gen, with 2 GB RAM.

Greetings!

This is a small question and I'm not sure if it belongs here, so please bear with me!

I was thinking of selling off my current phone and go for a Redmi 2. Current phone - A Micromax Unite 2 that does not have space for more than 3 apps after updating it to Android Lollipop(All apps and updates are installed onto some 850mb internal memory and not the 8GB phone memory). Is the switch worth it? Does the Redmi 2 have the same storage problem?

Imo it is worth the switch. The Redmi 2 is available in 8GB/16GB internal storage + expandable with SDcard. That much internal memory should be enough for apps plus a few games. In any case, if needed you can always use the app called Link2SD to move app data to your external sdcard. I have used the Redmi 1S before and did not face any storage problems. The Redmi 2 (especially the 2GB RAM version) is an awesome phone for the price so go for it without hesitation.

I see. But I'm also kind of interested in the Moto E, mainly because I have a feeling it'll last much longer than either the Redmi or my current phone(by long I mean at least 2-3 years!) for now I'll sit still and try to steal...erm.. earn some more money so that I can increase budget

After exactly 6 major drops and more than a dozen minor ones, my Mi3 is still going strong WITHOUT any screen guard or case. Shouldn't be generalized.

My wife using redmi 1s since last October . She is not one to handle phones with care . It's still going strong , also the camera is awesome .
My redmi note 4g too gives me no problems at all .

I drop my redmi 2 like once in every 15 days.

My friend was a fool then...

Anyway any body excited for mi4c...
Tomorrow is the launch...
Maybe 32gb grey one would take a month or two to be available in India

If only Mi shipped stock android. Its time all manufacturers teamed up. No more skinning android, they can provide features via standalone apps. Unified operating system, easier to manage. They can cut significant costs by going this route.

Android L with material design is already very matured, the ui is fast, fluid, and filled with uber cool animations. It does not need third party skin. Companies can provide launchers and lock screens. And android will benefit by being consistent across all devices. They will cut significant costs and turn their company around.

Amazon.in is having a I love Mi discount sale - Rs 1000 off on Mi 4, Mi 4i and Mi Pad. Sadly, no discount on Redmi 2 and Redmi 2 Prime. :-?

I ordered Redmi 2 Prime with COD. I wish to gift my mother a smartphone and still confused between Redmi 2 Prime and Yu Yunique....it will be her first phone. I am using Redmi 1S and thought she will like it, especially the normal SIM type in it but since it's discontinued favouring Redmi 2 Prime, however Yu Yunique is more pocket-friendly in terms of price. It will be her first smart phone. Any suggestions guys?

Fixed my mind on Prime, may be will have another chance to play with Yunique if I am able to gift it to some other family member!

Why is Xiaomi not releasing all of the colour variants of their phones in India?

For a *very* long time, only black/white versions of any model were available unless imported through unofficial channels. Now the Mi4i 2 additional colours only are made available. The Redmi 2 is available in Light Green, Pink and Yellow outside of India but not here... methinks the marketing people here are too biased towards "You can get any colour you want as long as it's black or white" (or grey).

This attitude prevails towards a lot of other things including but not limited to computer accessories, components etc.

Hope they change this situation soon.

I've ordered the Mi4i 32GB grey variant from Flipkart. However, while researching more about the phone, I've come across many complaints regarding the phone's extreme heating and rather low battery life. Not to mention, the new OTA updates did not help.

So, should I cancel my order or wait and see?

If you plan to game then cancel it.My dad has the 16gb version and games stutter while playing due to throttling in order to keep the temp down.Battery is good.Cam is really good.

Xiaomi service center guy says if phone temp is <=50 degrees than it is normal

I have been a huge proponent of Mi 4i from the beginning. I made my Dad, Uncle and Sister buy this phone... But I will tell you the truth. The chip Snapdragon 615 in the phone is a piece of garbage. Older generation chips are far better.

That is the reason why, even though this phone has excellent camera and an awesome screen, lack of processing power causes this phone to overheat and stutter. Maybe MIUI 7 will improve things when it launches in a few months, but right now, the experience of using MIUI 6 on this phone is subpar.

I would recommend not buying this phone. Buy the Mi 4 instead. Snapdragon 801 in that phone is a champ...

That's the only minus point of mi4

Redmi Note 4G - Phone was working fine, after restarting it IMEI says invalid and baseband unknown. Need to take it for servicing.

I just need to take just the invoice to the service center right?

Well i have been using MI4 for quite some time now & have to say its a great phone!! as I don't require 4G couldn't get a better phone.
The Performance,Camera,Display is amazing!!!
But Miui provides no updates,no lollipop yet,battery drains a bit faster.
Other than that,its a very great phone.

FYI, Xiaomi pushes weekly updates on Developer ROM. Although they do not contain much new features but bug fixes are present.

I'm using the developer rom on my redmi note 4g . It's better than miui 6 and very stable . But still no lolliop or a stable cm 12/12.1 with a working back camera .
Miui still has issues with auto killing of apps in the background to save Ram .

Redmi 2 Prime arrived today. Will review it after a few days.
Can anyone suggest good 4.4.4 ROMs to me? And also a working TWRP link?

I

Hi was just reading specs on gsmarena for Mi4 and it said "
4G bands LTE band 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300) - 4G model"

Doesn't Airtel use 2300 band for 4g in India? Why doesn't 4G work for mi4 in India then?

In general it costs around 40% of the mob price, i.e., around 2 - 2.4k. and also the cost varies depending on the condition of the damage.

Is Mi4i a really good? I want to buy a new Android phone for my dad and want as least compromises as possible with under 10k budget.
So far the only con I have seen is absence of expandable memory card. And for this reason I am starting to prefer Moto G 2nd gen which is being sold at Rs 9k on Flipkart.

Really confused. Read of stuff in Mi4i seems pretty damn good, including the looks and display resolution which is fHD. Battery also seems too good in Mi4i with above 3000 mAh!

And is there stock Android ROM available for Mi4i?

Apart from no sd card and perhaps miui there is no fault in Mi4i

And its definitely much better than Moto G2

Yes, if I keep a pen drive handy, and teach my dad to copy files on it using OTG, then I guess we can get by this limitation. But seriously what was Xiaomi thinking by keeping this ommision!

Nerevarine said:

Yes, display is 1080p and the PPI along with the battery is making me consider this phone, especially at 10k price on FK app.

Also, I went through XDA for Mi4i for a while. Turns there are many custom ROMs to play with on this phone. But I was interested in only Cyanogenmod. At this moment, there is one CM 12.1 based ROM for MiUi. (Link). And the omerjerk developer who is working hard to make a perfect Custom ROM have resulted in a good ROM, but still needs some polish. So maybe after a month or so, there should be a good ROM for this phone.

But, I don't want my dad to get used to MiUi much before I upgrade it.

Well, looks like Mi4i is the only good choice when specs are considered.

I

Nerevarine said:

Same with Camera.

Personally if your Dad is not already used to Android, I find MIUI is excellent for new smartphone users. It's heavier than Stock android for sure but MIUI's specs can easily handle it. The ease of use + feature set in MIUI I find is better than all other OS's, personally.

Personally if your Dad is not already used to Android, I find MIUI is excellent for new smartphone users. It's heavier than Stock android for sure but MIUI's specs can easily handle it. The ease of use + feature set in MIUI I find is better than all other OS's, personally.

The lack of App drawer is a con for me. All your apps in one place, and only the apps which you want to access easily - on home screen, is what I prefer. Maybe I can install a third part launcher like Apex to overcome this.

Also, the settings menu is a mess. Acknowledged by a video review I saw (from iGyaan) that the options in Settings menu is very haphazard. And this is something perhaps even Apex launcher can't fix.

Aren't you buying for your Dad? If so more important what your Dad prefers than you.

My Mum had a tougher time with Stock Android than MIUI, same with my sis but I prefer Stock over it. Depends upon the type of user.

Yes, need one for my dad. My dad is a clean slate and a quick learner and hence can learn whatever is taught. You mean MIUI interface is easier than Stock? My comment on settings page says otherwise.

Hope you have updated the OS. Check for updates from settings if you haven't. Mi4i had heating issues before the update. Now users report heating issue have gone down by a significant margin.

Maybe you're right about the settings menu but I feel your average user barely ever goes in and fiddles with settings often enough for it to matter much.

But the confusion with Android is that multiple shortcuts of the same app appear and this confused people and they are not able to find some apps because they never made a shortcut for it etc. That's the one thing i like about Apple's UI (same in MIUI) Plus it's quite full featured: permissions manager, themes antivirus, space cleaner, battery profile manager block lists for calls and messages and several others.

^^ So you saying that UI of MIUI is better in terms of stock in terms of the accessibility of apps. Well, I haven't used it much so can't validate the claims.

Anyway, the Mi4i have now gone back to 13k on FK, so that means I am more inclined towards Lenovo K3 Note, since its specs rich, with only one con of that of looks. But looks are subjective anyway. Will let dad decide.

There is Diwali sale next week on MI Store.Wait for that. MI4I camera is really good.My dad is using it and he is pretty happy.He is not tech savvy yet he found it easy to use the phone. MIUI is easy to use IMO.

Mi4i's camera and display are great. During normal usage it doesn't heat up that much ( two of my cousins use it and bought 3 for my friends). Just non expandable storage is a concern.

I will give the Xiaomi sale a chance to lure me into buying Mi4i. FK already had it for 10k. If they want to lure me, the price has to come even below 10k.
Let's see if this sale returns some fruitful devices.

Btw, I can't seem to find where the sale would occur. On their official India website or on Flipkart?

Installed the Mi App. Played the draw pattern game through which you can play to win prizes. The patterns are not always easy. Anyway, got a Rs10 discount voucher on Xiaomi accessories. Tried playing after logging through more numbers. No donut.

Celebrate Diwali with Mi!

well they are clearing their old stock/returned pieces and whatever that's left in the storehouse. :mrgreen:

and i guess 100 pieces every sale ?

Eff Xiaomi. Seriously. Worst sale. And not just because I couldn't get anything for Rs 1.

Their sales are down by 46% already (Read somewhere). They should stop the stupidity called flash sales or they'll disappear pretty soon.

It's quite absurd. I'd like to put in an order even if they have a waiting list then that would be fine. They just straight out don't let you buy except for 10AM in the mornings when most working people have meetings or most have classes.

Exactly. Just one of the reasons.
1. 10 am flash sale
2. Rs 1 flash sale, where no matter how fast you press the button.. it never works
3. Out of stock items, which are not even on flash sale.. seriously.. I wanted to buy the 10k mAH powerbank for so long now. Why list it on site in the first place?
4. The Rs 10 and Rs 20 coupons that I collected while playing their dumb "light diyas" game.. I can't merge the coupons..
5. Prices of products more than what we get on FK sale (Mi4i ws 9999 on FK on sale, while on Xiaomi sale it was 10,999.)
6. Limited phones. Many good phones are not even on the sale. It was just a clearance sale. And pathetic one at that.

SUCKS Xiaomi. Sucks.

iaomi recently lost its position as China's No. 1 smartphone brand to rival Huawei. A similar story is now being seen in India for Xiaomi, whose sales decreased by 46% in the July-September quarter.
According to data by Counterpoint Research, Xiaomi lost the market share primarily due in the low-cost segment due to competition by the likes Lenovo and Micromax's brand YU. This is the first decline in sales for the company since it entered India a little over a year ago, says the research firm. The Chinese startup did not figure in the top 5 smartphone vendors in the country.

They lost its place in India and also in China to Huawei

Xiaomi sales in India down 46% in Q3: Counterpoint Research - Times of India

Huawei Overtakes Xiaomi To Top China’s Smartphone Market For First Time: Report | TechCrunch

They want to do some publicity. Yu is planning to launch a premium flagship at very low price. Xiaomi sees no place in India

Xiaomi sees India as dumping ground they are not releasing some good phones/tabs in India like Mi4c they should change attitude and consider India as huge market rather than dumping ground.

How is the general service experience for Xiaomi?

For most of my friends it's been around 3-4 weeks, one/two cases was over 1 month. The Redmi series was the biggest culprit, Mi4 has relatively better build quality.

Yes the dev support is decent ,but the camera is still **** ,and unless someone ports miui camera app ,it will remain so
The details are there in xda , I'm talking about mi3/mi4
Not to mention the sources were released after months of trolling by xiaomi
They did make a promise of releasing sources with 3/6m ,I don't remember exactly ,
But I'm not sure whether they have kept their word
The latest ,what they have said ,they will update the miui straight to M skipping lollipop

Ha-ha its not like that actually ,for the phones which have been released with KitKat ,the miui is KitKat based like for mi3/mi4 etc and for those which were released with lollipop miui 7 is based on that ,eg is mi4i
Xiaomi did publish a road map for M update (which excludes mi3)
Though sort of official aosp rom has been there for mi3/mi4 ( a xiaomi developer apparently releases the aosp versions ,with the sources he have )
And a M version of aosp has been released
But AFAIK ,compared to other Chinese manufacturers ,their update speed is quite crap ,when it comes to stock roms
Dev support is another matter

Actually they done great not jumping to lollipop lollipop is still buggy and google fixed most of the lollipop bugs in android M this is the reason why I think they are still building upon KitKat.

5 was buggy but most of the bugs were fixed in 5.1.1, so that's not an excuse to stick to kitkat.

They don't care about OS. Most of their profit comes from selling accessories.

Also, its better to just use an AOSP rom on their phones from the start instead of MIUI.

Nope. Google still has not fixed mobile radio active bug in lollipop 5.1.1 which will drain phone battery very fast if you use 2G/3G.

What's the point of the updates exactly? What I mean to ask is, what benefit do you get from the updates?

I'm genuinely asking as I've never felt it to have any major effect?

Well, I'm not sure which version are you on but 4.4 to 5.0 was a massive change visually, granted 5 to 6 will not have much visual upgrades but doze mode will help with battery backup. Same with 5.0 to 5.1, number of stability upgrades and speed improvements.

I

Well visual upgrades matter 0% if you're using MIUI anyway. I guess other bug fixes & small improvements type matters though.

It's nice to see Google attempt fix one of their ****ups, but don't do that. In 6.0 SD card isn't pre-cached effectively (still hollow support for SD cards sadly), due to this the SD Card would be much slower than internal memory.

Anyways, when is the MiPad 2 coming out? I'm in the market for a tablet around Christmas.

Hi - My Note 4G's screen has a single crack from side to side, not the shattered type of breakage. The screen has to be replaced right?

Your phone has downloaded the latest version of MIUI to update. It just failed to apply update.

Click on Update.zip to test if the update process begins.

You can also try to download the latest MIUI update file in zip format, and flash it with MIUI flash tool. Check out link for download options and instructions -- MIUI China Stable Version V7.1.3.0.KHCCNCK for Redmi 1S Changelog&Download - Redmi 1S - Xiaomi MIUI Official Forum

I any my friend have the Redmi 2 prime for the last 6 months and we are quite happy with it. The ui is lag free and customizable with free themes and fonts from the store. The camera quality is above average and the speaker is also good wihtout any distortion. The battery backup is decent and I get around 4 hours of screen on time/5 hours of talktime with a single charge. Another friend of mine has the Mi4i and he is also very happy with it. The only problem with the brand is the software update. We are still struck in kitkat and my friend on lollipop and we have no idea when we are getting the marshmallow update. But ui wise it is impossible to detect which android version you are on due the heavy skinning. As far as the redmi note 3 is concerned, it comes with marshmallow out of the box. So you should be fine. Go ahead with the purchase.

It comes with 5.1.1 , not marshmallow. but yes, xiaomi phones have come a long way since the day they were launch. have a smooth operation and multitasking as well. Heating issues if any are solved with software updates. Even redmi note 3 got an update within days of launching, further eliminating any bugs/problems present earlier.

Guys, I'm looking to buy the Redmi Note 3, OnePlus One (Refurbished) or the OnePlus X (Refurbished). I want to know which is the best option among these three as I'm moving into college this year and I want the phone to last for at least 1 to 2 years. I use the phone for light gaming such as Clash Royale and do a lot of other stuff which includes browsing, a lot of app switching (so I need the phone to be smooth for the entirety of the 2 years) and listen to a lot of music! I also want the phone to last at least a day and should charge at a good rate. Which should I go with? Also is the Snapdragon 650 faster than the 801?

Quick help would be appreciated since I'm going out of town in a few days and require to order the phone today so that I receive it as early as possible. Moreover, the Redmi Note 3 flash sale is in an hour from now!

P.S. I don't mind refurbished phones. Also, I like both Stock Android and MiUi.

no disadvantage until battery starts to wear out.
Silly disadvantage is if the phone hangs popping the battery turning on seems convenient. But 2016 will have non-removable battery except for some [like lg g5]

hello guys,
I have Redmi note 3 and suing 32gb class 10 micro sd card.
can i not move apps to memory card in redmi phones (i know it can be done in lenevo phones)
And now if i install nay game or app will it be installed in memory card or internal storage?

when are the selling these phones on open sale? and bdw since two weeks I haven't participated in the flash sale and what's with the 3 GB variant? is it out of stock? they don't have any more of them?

and how many of you got 3 GB variant?

Guys, mi5 heating issues? Any experience with it?

For all those using Redmi 1S, I'd like to share some 'tips' which I found out while tinkering here and there, which resulted in much better memory management. Now I never see that irritating "loading" screen.

1) First manage start up apps through Security > Permissions > Autostart. Only the much needed apps should be kept there.

2) Settings > Additional Settings > Battery

Power settings - Balanced
System animations - Hide
Manage apps' battery usage - Advanced

3) Activate Developer options by tapping MIUI Version info (under Settings > About Phone) continuously. Now go to Developer options (Settings > Additional Settings). Make following changes:

Window animation scale - .5x
Transition animation scale - .5x
Animator duration scale - .5x
Memory optimization - High (This will require a reboot)

You may completely turn off animation scales but I kept have kept them at .5x and it works good enough.

After you reboot, your free RAM should be at least 50MB more than what it used to be. My total free RAM was 400MB+ for the first time ever but it hovers around 300-340 MB now. And no more loading screen.

I tried this in two Redmi 1S, and it worked as expected. I hope it works for everyone.

Good Luck.

PS: There are many more factors which affect the running of phone for eg I just have 2 apps in start up, and have greenified almost all apps except a couple, which even includes gmail, Google App, Whatsapp and many others which most of the people skip, so usage scenario might differ from person to person.

Any got the Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro ?

how is it

I got Mi Basic 299 ones, and it's surprisingly good. Don't feel the need to spend 999 now. The only thing I miss is volume +/- buttons, and at this price I couldn't ask for more.

Well they just want more internal memory I suppose. Other than that the models are more or less same.

By paying 2k extra we get 3gb ram instead of 2gb & double storage.

For me dual sim is important so need that 32gb model & currently using asus zenfone 5 old 16gb along with 16sd card
(All apps & their data transferred to sd card)

Me too was unsuccessful in getting 32gb. Wanted it desperately as my 4g connection is getting activated by 20th april

Now one big question in front of me which 4g phone to choose around 10k???

Bro, don't you think both 16 GB & 32 GB will have similar features except for the Phone memory. I don't think the 16GB one will have any other better features.
Only difference could be the internal memory +RAM.

I doubt if anyone will very soon introduce snapdragon 650 chip fones in 12k.

The life cycle of xiaomi fones is less too so I do not think RN 3 32gb would stay for long like mi4i 32gb.

If battery back up is important then go for Redmi 3. And since it isn't launched and in case you do not want to wait, go for Lenovo P1M. It's basically a Redmi 2 prime + Excellent battery back up. I've used it, very good battery back up. No issues in the phone.

Probably without any registration or say particular time flash sale.

In Flash sale, you've to register for the mobile in advance to buy mobile in mi/amazon on the particular day.
In Open sale, you don't have to register for the mobile in advance and you can buy directly on the particular day.

Except registration, i guess both will be same. 32GB will be out of stock in seconds and thereby leaving users to buy only 16GB.

Very lucky. I tried all the preceding weeks. Never got one.

My sister clicked on "Add to Cart" on Amazon after me. But she got a 32 GB in cart and I did not. So, I guess the system is so overloaded that most clicks don't register.

Bought two RN3 32 GB version yesterday - a gold and a grey one from amazon, for a friend. I had bought a 32GB grey one on the April 6 sale. Got added to cart somehow in a couple of tries. But yesterday, it was a different experience. Had been trying from 2 PM till 2:15. It showed "Checking deal status.." and got waitlisted and finally waitlist got full. Was about to close the browser when suddenly "Add to Cart" showed up. Clicked on it and it got added. Strange

Have been using for three weeks and the experience is pretty good. Never seen any heating till now.. though haven't tried heavy games yet. There is no app drawer in MIUI, which will take some time getting used to, coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Fingerprint sensor unlocks in an instant, faster than an iPhone 6.

How is SIM slot very sensitive?

Its made of plastic, but looks durable enough. I'm using two sims. The second being a nano sim, I had to cut the micro sim manually to fit in. The connectivity is better than the earlier Samsung Galaxy core II phone in which both the sims were used.

Yes, very few items available for sale. And things are getting expensive. A couple of months ago, I had bought their white earphones for Rs 300. Now, they have increased their prices to Rs 500.

I too bought them at 300 (+50 shipping) but now they're rebranding them as something blah blah and selling for 500.

But it was too good at 300. The comfortability factor is even better than 999 one.

If I am not mistaken the 300 rupees Mi Basic earphone was made of Plastic body while the new version worth 500 rupees is of Aluminum body.

From specifications, yes, but design looks exactly same so unless I get a hands on or see a realistic image (as opposed to what MI's official pics), then only it's possible to tell the difference.

So, how is the Mi basic earphone? I'm thinking about buying one.

Great for its price

I got it for 1.7K from aliexpress and that is the cheapest dual band wifi ac router afaik
Only drawback is no gigabit Ethernet

But again it only has 2 LAN ports and it is meant to be a wifi router

Gigabit Ethernet is essential for speeds above 100 Mbps right?
4 Mbps it's useless na?
As this router is cheap I thought it will increase my file transfers between my PCs at great speed.

Didn't get you
Gigabit Ethernet means allows speeds up to 1000Mbps

And yes this router will allow for faster transfer speeds between phone and PC due to dual band and AC support

Again it will go to Out of Stocks...:crying_NF:

How many days that's the questions? Currently any one better than RN3?

Hello guys,

I have been using Mi4i, Redmi Note 3 and trust me or not these mobiles actually deliver the best. I have been using them for almost a year now with neither speed issues and nor gaming. I do a lot of gaming on these mobiles and they work pretty well(**If your internet speed is good). And above all I am totally in love with the camera picture quality. It is available in such amazing prices and they are worth every penny spent on it. I am in love with Xiomi mobiles. If you are planning to go for one, without a doubt you can go for it. Thumbs up to Xiomi.

Got the beast. Looks really great in the dark grey colour as well.

Getting a tempered glass soon. Don't usually like back cases. So, will use a few days before deciding on it!

Still unable to get RN3 32GB Gold:thinking_NF:

Any Specific time to check?

5 pm every day at mi.com
Check everyday in 1 hr intervals.. They might have changed the time now but when iIbought it was 5 pm

Wow, I finally got the RN3 32G silver model in my hands and wow the camera is disappointing. Especially in the evening. My 3-year old Galaxy note II still takes better pictures.

Also there seems to be a number of small software problems in MIUI. After I installed Nova Launcher (I like drawers), I can't seem to set wallpaper/lock screen from the gallery app. Anyone else had this problem? I've only used Samsung phones before and never had this problem.

On the plus side the screen is great, especially for the price. And MIUI has some neat features especially suited for India.

Miui lock screen and gallery will work with stock mi launcher and not with nova launcher .

Generally yes, if its a well known seller, the only difference you will find between a new and refurb product will be that the box will already be open, otherwise it should be spot on clean and looking just like new

My 32 GB Gold Redmi Note 3 was stolen. I went to Koynanagar in Maharastra on Saturday. Phone stolen there. Nauja Waterfall. Very sad. It was a beautiful phone. Android Device Manager traced it later that day to a mobile shop in Koynanagar town. It is unrecoverable. I have asked customer care to block the SIM card. Is there any way I can block the use of phone for the thief? I still have 10 installments of Rs 1100 per month to pay for that phone. I will be paying for a phone for the next one year which someone else will enjoy. That is sad.

Please let me know if there is any way to block the IMEI of that phone, so that phone becomes useless to the thief.

Does this happen for normal calls also? If yes ARe you applying some screen protector? This issue usually happens with protecter that blocks proximity sensor just try calling without screenprotector if still not then its smething else.

I took the phone to the Xiaomi authorized service center at my place and had a technician touch the back panel while charging and he definitely said that it is abnormal behavior for any phone to give out stray currents and that it might be caused because of a shorting inside. But one another friend who uses an April 2016 make is not getting the issue.

Have checked with another charger and different sockets at different places. Asked one of my friend who got a recent one and he too confirmed the issue. But another friend with April build is not getting anything.

I took my phone to service center and they too confirmed shock/tingling and asked to replace if that option is available. I got a replacement and still the same issue.

[MENTION=325148]thoma[/MENTION] I suspect it be an issue with grounding. No other phone gives any kind of shock?

try with a better charger from other reputed brands, like samsung etc and reply back to us. if persists, try another power outlet at an another house at another locality.

this is normally the charger issue, either internal shorts during manufacturing or new design related. if u charge from PB or computer usb, u wont get this.

Tried different charger and different locations.

I searched a bit on the internet and someone said that all metal back panel phones do give out similar stray current.

I checked with an ipad at another place and similar issue persists.

But now I am wondering why not every RN3 user is feeling the same shock/tingling

Its Very awesome price.I would like to buy this one...because I am already using Xiomi Redmi2 Prime.It is also working fabulous, that's why I am very desperate to buy Xiomi Brand Mi 3....

then you may just continue charging with computer usb or battery banks. the chargers are supplying 5V right, but their both -ve & +ve potentials are floating a bit high from ground level. you can feel it because of the metal case of the fone.
if some metal back fone not giving the shocks, then there is probably some bigger insulation with the cover.

not an ideal situation to get the shocks, so.....

Has anyone bought 'Mi Max/Mi Max Prime' phone? what is your impression of it? and does it lag when you play a 1080p x265 encoded video?

also if anyone has a device with qualcomm 650 and/or 652, can you test this video whether it lags or not -

thanks!

I did buy a Mi Max for my father as he can't use a small screen device. Have never tried to play an x265 file on it though. (Normal x264 videos mp4 and mkv play fine) I will try it soon.

Edit: Tried playing, works OK. MX player is smoother than VLC.

Let's analyse your issues.
Charger scratches may be a genuine concern, but I can't say without seeing pics. But then, you say "speaker issues", by that I presume the issue you mentioned, that only one speaker is working.

Well, guess what? Redmi Note 4 has only 1 speaker, buddy.
My wife and my friend has 2 of them, in both only right 5-hole section has a speaker, and its loud enough. The left set of 5 holes is the MICROPHONE.

If you don't believe me, I can point out Gsmarena & Xiaomi links, which all point out that it has only one speaker.

If you could elaborate what camera & brightness issues are you facing?
If you're saying the camera has lesser quality then its not a defect. Brightness can be managed from within settings and drop down menu.

Redmi 4 or Redmi Note 4? Budget 10k.

Digital Fragger said:

below 10k,
if you want to use MIUI (stock rom only) then go for Redmi 4 3GB version.
MIUI uses too much RAM, 2 GB ram will be not enough.
but I can't tell you exact ram uses, please check respective variant hands videos reviews..
but 3gb ram at least needed in my opinion..

but overall redmi note 4 is better choice.

D

Just ordered Redmi note 4 3GB version. It's fine I suppose.

Digital Fragger said:

11k right?

D

Yes 11k it is.

You made a wise choice. I've ordered both of these, Redmi Note 4 (4-64GB) for my wife, and Redmi 4 (3-32GB) for a workplace colleague.

Redmi Note 4 has a superior chipset, it can do slow motion video recording (720p@120 fps) and also 4K30fps (although with another software, not stock camera). I recommend using "OpenCamera" from Play Store for 4K.
With twice more pixels on the screen (1080p screen) and bigger screen too (5.5 inches), its a no branier.
Its good for 3D too. I just ran Asphalt 8 and its running at around 30 fps reliably. Not sure how the Redmi 4 would run it though.

And Audio quality tests also put Redmi Note 4 ahead, its in the league of iPhones. Loudspeaker is rated as "Very good". (source of info- gsmarena).

So, all the best.

Confirmed working in Redmi Note 4.

MiUi 9

The first problem relates to the Mi-Mover app, which allows you to transfer apps and some settings from any Android device (running 4.2 or higher) to a Xiaomi phone. This is a pretty common feature, even on Nexus and Pixel phones. However, if both devices are running MIUI, Mi-Mover will copy all system data to the new phone. This includes confidential information, like saved payment information, overriding Android's built-in sandbox protection in the process. Some applications are unaffected, like ones check the device or require a PIN at launch, but many popular apps like Twitter and Airbnb don't check the device. So if someone had access to a Xiaomi phone, they could copy all of a user's information without much effort.

Another flaw was found in how MIUI handles device-administrator apps. As you may know, many security/anti-theft apps (like Android Device Manager) can use Android's administrator permission to wipe the device. Uninstalling these apps usually requires the user's password, but eScan discovered that no prompt was given when deleting an administrator app. Theoretically, someone could steal a Xiaomi phone and quickly delete any anti-theft apps before the owner had the chance to use them.

Try charging with another brand charger. If the heating continues, you may have to service the mobile - because there's an alleged incident that RN4 got exploded.
Redmi Note 4 explodes, owner suffers serious injury; know what happened and reaction of Xiaomi

^why all mi phones heating up..
My Redmi note 4 temperature is fine, while charging and while watching x265 8 bit videos.

I think, it's all started during China border issue, who purchased mobiles after that incident.

Clap clap, for that analogy..

What's the temperature you guys are getting?

I thought it's normal when charging. Redmi 4 goes upto 45 deg, that's the max I noticed when charging, video calling. BTW, lowest I got was around 35/36 deg when it was idle.

Same here..

but some days back, other 2A 5V charger (I have Lenovo charger) take more than 4-5 hours to complete charge. And temperature also became high around 50+
So I started using OEM charger and its charging device fast. It takes 2 hours to complete charge.
I think, if you are using other than OEM charger, redmi device or some system app (in Installed apps) recognize which charger you are using and slows down charging.. :blink:

Dolby Atmos is very simple to use while vipre is great for someone who knows how to configure it properly.

Xiomi's all phone are heating too much... reason??

Either you consider 37-45 °C as overheating or there is some crapware app like cleanmaster which keeps running the CPU at max frequency and doesn't allows the phone to go into deep sleep.

Hello,
Xiaomi India Teases 'Desh ka Smartphone' Will Have Great Battery Life, Redmi 5A Expected

*preview.ibb.co/hrF5Nm/screenshot_gadgets_ndtv_com_2017_11_26_10_54_52.png

Xiaomi is all set to launch the 'Desh ka Smartphone' in India on November 30, a device the company started teasing earlier this week. We don't know much about the smartphone, with the company leaving very few hints for us to speculate too much upon. That being said, the Redmi India Twitter handle on Friday teased the smartphone would have a great battery life - pointing at either a large battery or optimized software in the form of MIUI 9. The other hint is the wording of the tagline, with 'Desh ka Smartphone' implying it will be an affordable offering.

India is certainly an important market for Xiaomi, with the company holding several 'global' launches in the country, or more specifically, unveiling products for the first time globally at events in the country. Examples of this include the Xiaomi Mi A1 and MIUI 9 Global Stable ROM. Xiaomi's Desh ka Smartphone may be one of these offerings, one that hasn't been unveiled anywhere else (read, China). Or, it may be an offering that has already been launched.

Speculation points to the Xiaomi Redmi 5A as the prime candidate for launch on November 30. The biggest factor in its favour is the fact that the Redmi India handle was used to tweet, revealing it would be a Redmi-branded device. The second biggest factor in its favor is its price - CNY 599 (roughly Rs. 5,800).

If Xiaomi manages to bring the smartphone to India at a lower price than it was made available at in China, the Xiaomi Redmi 5A may be significantly cheaper than the Xiaomi Redmi 4A, which is currently the cheapest smartphone offering from Xiaomi in India. Another factor pointing to the Redmi 5A as the smartphone to launch next week is its battery life - Xiaomi says it will offer a battery life up to 8 days, which is quite extraordinary. It also runs MIUI 9 out-of-the-box.

As for the Xiaomi Redmi 5A specifications, the dual-SIM smartphone features a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display with a pixel density of 296ppi. Much like its predecessor, the new model is also powered by the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 Soc, clocked at 1.4GHz, and coupled with 2GB of RAM.

The Redmi 5A comes with 16GB inbuilt storage which is further expandable via micro-SD card (up to 128GB). The dual-SIM smartphone packs a 3000mAh battery which seems to be a downgrade when compared to the 2016's Redmi 4A.

The handset sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with f/2.2 aperture, burst mode, panorama mode, HDR mode, and more. It comes with a 5-megapixel front camera with f/2.0 aperture lens. It supports 1080p and 720p video recording. Connectivity options on the Redmi 5A include 4G with VoLTE, 3G, GPRS/ EDGE, Bluetooth, WI-Fi, and Micro-USB. It comes with a hybrid SIM slot.

Xiaomi users seem to prefer Stock Android to MIUI

A Twitter poll conducted by Xiaomi backfired

*i.imgur.com/CSV0KVr.jpg

The Xiaomi Mi A1 did wonders in the market last year, but it may have backfired in some ways. Xiaomi posted a twitter poll online earlier today, asking it’s users whether they preferred MIUI 9 or Android One, supposedly having faith that they had enough MIUI fans out there.

What they got instead was 57% of the users preferring Android One to Xiaomi’s in-house UI. Before you start running off and checking on twitter, you should know that Xiaomi deleted all the tweets that were related to the poll as soon as they saw that MIUI 9 had lost the battle.
Honestly, why ask questions if you can’t handle the truth?

What’s the difference?

There’s Stock Android and then there’s MIUI (MI User Interface), which is Xiaomi’s own OS, which is based on the Google's Android system.

Most Android phones in the market today come with one or the other customisation on top of the core Android system. Different brands do it in different ways.

The Stock Android system is for users that are overly concerned about their phone’s stability and data security. They can do without all the bells and whistles, just wanting the smoothest user experience. The upside is that Stock Android is tested thoroughly by Google’s Android team before it’s released and is as stable as can be. The downside is, well, that you can’t really do much with in terms of customisation.

MIUI, on the other hand, is about as user friendly as it can be. The development cycles are more frequent, and thus, always prone to certain vulnerabilities. This is because of the pace at which codes and features change, so the company has to stay abreast of the curve.

The disappearing act

So, back to the poll. It happened. It’s done. 14,700 people spoke out and it is what it is.

Anyone living in this day and age knows that once you put something online, it’s going to stay online forever regardless of whether you delete it or not. And so does this.

The results of the poll weren’t all that surprising as compared Xiaomi’s actions afterwards. The company has often been questioned for not providing fast Android updates, despite being on record in saying that MIUI 9 is as fast and functional as Stock Android.

When the Xiaomi Mi A1 was launched, many questioned Xiaomi's choice. While the company said it wanted to give users a choice between stock Android and MiUI, experts suggested that the move could backfire. And it seems they may have been right.

Xiaomi Deletes Twitter Poll when more people prefer Android One over MIUI

A big draw of the XDA-Developers forums is the availability of custom AOSP-based ROMs such as LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix, ParanoidAndroid, and many, many more. Thus it’s no surprise that most of our readers will prefer how stock Android looks over a third-party OEM ROM like MIUI. MIUI is the heavily modified Android version that Xiaomi releases all of their phones (except for the Xiaomi Mi A1) with. While you would expect many of Xiaomi’s mainstream consumer base to be fans of MIUI over stock Android, it seems that a large number of Xiaomi customers actually prefer Android One over MIUI, at least according to a now deleted poll posted by the official Xiaomi Twitter account.

Users were asked to vote for their preferred Android software experience between MIUI 9 or Android One. It’s likely that the social media team behind the Twitter account misread their own audience, and as a result, it backfired hilariously. Companies often do this, as it shows off their reputation and can even convince consumers interested in their products to buy them if they see fan polls go well. However, shortly after the tweet went live, it was deleted when 57% out of approximately 15,000 voters voted in favor of Android One over MIUI 9. Oops.

It’s not too surprising that many fans of Xiaomi’s hardware are fans of stock Android, as according to LineageOS statistics (disregarding the unknown category) India and China are number 1 and number 3 for LineageOS installs, respectively. These are the regions Xiaomi is most popular in, so the results are not quite as surprising as they looked at first glance.

It’s unknown if Xiaomi will take this particular feedback to heart, as it simply seems like the company’s social media was trying to engage its audience in a fluff poll rather than actually asking a serious question. That’s not to say that users, when faced with a custom Android skin, won’t prefer MIUI over others. This is ultimately a pretty embarrassing (but funny) ordeal for the company and showcases the dangers of posting controversial polls on official social media pages when you expect your own product to win.
