just got my set last nite together with the in ear headphone. the volume of the speaker is ridiculously low, how to make it louder?

Start up of the phone also take very long..

How's the battery life? SOT roughly around how long?

Guide posted at early thread solved the low volume issue, thanks!

not that impressive...

if you're heavy user, expect to charge it twice a day...

still dilemma on buying phones. I have some treatpoints to spend at satugadget. Want to go for MI3, but also tempting to wait for MI3s. Now i am considering buying Hongmi just to test out Xiaomi and MIUI. Later when Mi3s official Malaysia set available then only go.
if hongmi i juz need to top up <RM200 

One does not simply install an apk to get miui.

Best lulz in a long time.

best option now is lelong.my IMO. though it is still limited option. can go check this seller "toprankproduct". i am now waiting for my MI3 shockproof case.

yup..5-9 days shipment..mine was shipped out after 7 days including sat & sun

you can check my threads for hongmi case
hongmi flip case just arrived.  available black colour

fyi, original battery cover i can bring it to you on preorder basis
pm me for further details, your desire colours

thank you

hongmi reporting in
the phone is great
take picture color also great, but when u enlarge the picture
the quality is blur one
and the speaker sound so soft so weak
anyway to enhance it?

default 5mp? now i realise...
only mono speaker 
i though my phone only got problem. so weak the sound, plug in my sony headphone also not tat impressive sound

but ok lar other than that the phone works graet, battery is much more better tahan then my sony experia phone
yesterday dinner till now 44% left
u test the gaming already? how is it? i no game to download dunno where can download

The new Redmi Note enhanced version with 8-core 1.7GHz, 2 GB Ram, 5.5" @ RMB999 (RM530) to be open for sale in China on 13 May.
When this phone is available in Malaysia, I guess the Malaysia hottest budget phone now, Huawei Honor 3C will have to give way.

Well, that's good news for me. At least my newly bought Huawei Honor 3C not depreciate in value too fast due to better spec but also almost same price Redmi Note enhanced version. 

But sooner or later, it will come, just like M3.

I will grab it a the first opportunity if the price is indeed RM530. Btw, the battery is a removable type, is it not?

Are you kidding me ?? Don't tell me you are not aware of Huawei just launched Honor 3C last week at RM499 ??   You everyday active in LYN's Android forum wor ....

Here is the link. Hottest best value for money smartphone in Malaysia right now.

Anyone wanna guess the official price for this phone? My guess is RM389 rrp?

Hy, my opinion there is more diference's beetwen JHBCNBA25 and JHBCNBA13.

JHBCNBA25:
multilanguage
300 Mb free ram after starting the system
no chines apps
there is no system updater
no video player icon in menu
Antutu: 13321

JHBCNBA13
just english and chines languages
<500!!! Mb free ram after starting the system, this is a big advantge.
UPDATER!
Video player.
Transfer, Miui Market, Search (in applications), and Weather application.
Antutu: 16215

I dont think the 13 is smoother than 25, but for me that 200 Mb free ram is important, I dont care the language.

hi, how to define either my hongmi is imitation one or ori one? i heard ori battery is gray color one, but mine seem is orange color...

Hy,

You can't replace the 25 to 13 just from update menu, because the 25 update menu dosen't function.
Put the 13 in the phone memory.
TURN OFF your phone,
Start your phone pushing down the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons, will show 3 option, release the buttons, and select RECOVERY option,
Here select : apply udpate from sdcard ( this is the phone memory),
Now you have to select the rom, and push the VOLUME button UP, this will install the rom.
Vipe the cache.
And restart, so here it is!

There is a multilanguage rom from 13.
For me work fine.
HERE can you find
