thanks bro.

currently using 6 inch phone, thought of downsizing for a secondary phone
*
If you need small sized secondary phone, I think moto-e will suit you best.
Cheap, battery friendly, lag free android phone.
Only downside is the camera and the internal storage that is 4GB only. smile.gif

4gb is too small.
currently using 8gb, quite difficult to reduce.

any issues you face with 1s ?
fyi, I use phone mostly for email, browser, whatsapp
*
I assume you are a mid user.
If only doing stuff like email, browsing and whatsapp then Redmi1S is suit to your mid usage.
You will need to concern about the battery drain issues only.
Last time I using my redmi mid usage I can get about 4 hour Screen On Time.
But now, Im using the phone high usage mode due to my COC game it get only 2-3 hour screen on time.
Lucky me that I have spare battery (and waiting for my second spare battery from last saturday sales tongue.gif ) so I dont have to worry about the battery drain issues anymore. biggrin.gif

thanks for info.

another thing, 1s is easy to pocket ? easy to use with one hand ?

getting addicted to xiaomi stuff, bought the pb and piston, both also good  tongue.gif
*
FYI, I have small hands(and feet tongue.gif ). before this Im using xperia Ray that is a 3.3" phone.
So, after upgrading to Redmi1S I think this phone is the max size phone for me.
Phone bigger than this is a big no for me. smile.gif
No pocket issue for me.
From my experience with the phone, I can text using swiftkey single handed on this phone.
So it is good enough for me that have a small hand.

Finally, thank you very much. I am actually an apple user, first time use android.  blush.gif

Who are the official retailers of Redmi 1S in Malaysia?
Is there a difference bwtn the 'Malaysian spec' and the 1Gadget AP and the Directd "high specs version" other than the warranty? Are the AP (imported) sets firmware Chinese only?
*
Only one retailers so far that is Lazada.
Malaysian Spec and High Spec version is the same.
Low spec version is the one that uses mediatek processor that is Redmi 1(without 'S').
It is Chinese and English.

Who is in charge of the warranty by Lazada? Xiaomi themselves?
Is there any difference btwn the Lazada product and 1Gadget/Directd (both selling the 1S)? Is the firmware the same?
*
About the warranty I dunno. But I think you still can sent the phone at the xiaomi service center itself.
Lazada sell Malaysian set REdmi1S same as mi.com/my. 1Gadget/Directd I dunno but you can flash China or Global rom yourself as long as the phone is Redmi1S.

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Aug 23 2014, 09:36 PM)
I haven't even inserted Sim card inside yet.  laugh.gif  But the phone already is very impressive. The smoothness feels so much like the Lumia 525 that i wanted to buy. This phone is bigger and cheaper though. I'm thinking of ways to make it a little more dust and water resistant. This phone is heavy. Seems to be a little heavier than my dinosaur Nokia C3. But its probably the glass. Haven't install the screen protector. Phone is still charging at 86% and i'm running a LiteFM at low volume to run in the speakers. Yes its a stupid unnecessary thing to do.  laugh.gif

There are some little annoying things though. The additional charger did not come with an additional USB cable. So i could not charge both battery on phone and the spare one at the same time. The Mi software for PC is only in chinese. And i could not locate an english version of the software.

But the screen protector is 2 pieces in a box. So somewhat unexpected as i thought i only paid for 1 piece in a box. No they did not put 2 box inside. Its 1 box with 2 pieces inside. The label says so too.

My nephew says the phone feels and looks like Sony Experia which he likes very much.
*
Actually the they give 3 pieces screen protector. biggrin.gif

Dunno about Redmi 1 battery life but you can compare it using this result.
This is my yesterday result with 24 hour 3G using the latest rom V36.

Had to disable the MIUI interface. Uses too much memory. Now using Aviate. Much faster.

You can disable MIUI launcher? How to do that?
Last time I try to install Google Now Launcher cannot bcoz cant disabled the MIUI launcher.
Using Aviate how much free memory you can get?

First startup with no charging. Can use over 6 hours semi-constant playing games or even calling people.

Now charging up after shopping. Very nice impression!

Should make "User List", so that we can see all the users including me.
Go to Settings > Lite Mode (Already enough la!)

TS dont have Redmi1S I guest. tongue.gif
Need to wait for V2.
Lite Mode for old people la. laugh.gif

u can use 3rd party launcher instead of miui launcher..

need to set default in apps management brows.gif

How come I dont realize that. laugh.gif
Now using google now launcher.
Feel a lot smoother when browsing through homescreen and app drawer.
But cannot find how much the free ram.

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Aug 24 2014, 06:36 PM)
Should i upgrade to V36(stable version)? Its still on V27 now.
*
V27 battery perfomance is the best so far.
V27 to V36 updates do not fix any major problem like battery perfomance.
It only fix about security issues and just a tiny bit improvement on RAM.


*My battery perfomance for today in high usage mode.
Most of the time gaming and 3G always ON.
V36.

It is said to have a better RAM management but there's also a few compromises

hi. biggrin.gif

i heard that 1st cant transfer apps to external storage (memory card). is it true? have xiaomi fix it? unsure.gif
*
It is not because Xiaomi. It is because R1S uses Jellybean that strict the app to stay in internal memory only.
But you can use folder mount or script to transfer app.

QUOTE(BlackGold @ Aug 26 2014, 11:39 AM)
anyone can spoon feed me on how to clean restore my redmi 1s?.
1st time using android and its kinda complicated for me..
thanks...
*
First,
Download the ROM here.
http://en.miui.com/download-226.html#325

2.
Put the downloaded file in Internal Memory of the phone.
(Use Explorer copy and paste it. Dont make any folder, just put it straight away in Internal Memory)

3.
Rename the file to "update.zip". (all small letter)
(to rename, hold on the file, choose 'More' then 'Rename'.)
Usually after you rename, the file do not show the name u just enter. Dont worry, just navigate to SD Card and navigate back to Internal Memory, ffter that u can see the correct update.zip file.

4.
Go to Updater App.
Menu>Reboot to Recovery mode

5.
Choose the language. (use VOLUME key to navigate,use Power Key to Enter.)
Choose Wipe & Reset.
Perform all three options.
Back to mainmenu.
Finally, choose install update.zip to System.
Wait untill finished.

If you follow my guide here, all of your downloaded app will be gone.
It is a fresh install method.

finally received my xiaomi after self pick up at fedex  rclxm9.gif

here is my first review:
screen is bigger colour quite good compare to my old motorola phone
responsiveness is good, no lag thumbup.gif 
when i using the phone, the top is very hot  vmad.gif  is the heat from CPU or wifi?
the return button is on the right instead of right, always press wrongly  sweat.gif
battery drain very fast  rclxub.gif
the 1GB memory not enough, always >75% used one, i think the MIUI use a lot of memory  icon_question.gif

i'm still new to it and haven;t ready try all the things yet...
my MIUI now is rev27, is it worth to update to rev36 which appear my phone update? other than fix the data breach issue to china server and better battery saving, got other benefits? scare it used up more memory

what the used of SD card?? i can't save my photo and video to there mad.gif  any way to transfer the photo and video manually to SD card?

how come all the apps i installed will be in my wallpaper? can't i delete it and choose from app list like in other adroid phone? so messy  vmad.gif

how to use google now in redmi? my previous android phone just swipe from bottom to top then it will show up liao, but i can;t find a way to do it in redmi  icon_question.gif
*
V37 is better at handling memory.

Manually, just copy paste using Explorer.
If you want automatically then you can use FolderMount to store Video or Picture or apps to Sd Card.
http://en.miui.com/thread-23310-1-1.html

It is MIUI environment which I think inspired by IOS.
Some people like it, some people dont.
I dont like it so my solution is installing third party launcher. Im using Google Now Launcher.

For activate Google Now, U need to long press Home button.

Enjoy your R1S.

that beats the entire purpose of getting a Mi phone, but i must agree the MIUI offers very restrictive profile. I'm using nova on my note. can adjust the icon sizes. 1s still use MIIU.

any way to disable a specific features of miui theme pack. My current theme pack shows weather status on lock screen, but the animation (like raining, sunny, thunder) causes the unlocking become slow and lagging.
*
I buy this phone because of the value. Hehe..
One thing you can do is, use different lock screen.
Can go to Theme>Category>Component>Lockscreen.
