afaik, the only way is to use 3rd party camera app

the key is to choose what we need at an affordable price. by adding rm80 we can get a better spec phone. but once u have 3c, there will be ppl who say add another hundred bucks and you get a better phone and so

yeap. totally. just choose 1 that suits you. no point bashing this over that and vice versa

if got second battery, should have a battery charger with you. else no point keep swapping battery to charge in phone, so hassle.

I think the whole point of a discussion thread is to talk about the pros and cons of the product without getting overly defensive when someone points out some issues.

I have bought mi3, 1s and H3c. Will most likely buy mipad when it comes out (and maybe Redmi Note since someone pointed out to me that it has multi-language options). Already bought iPad & ipod touch btw. I would say all the models have pros & cons.

I think its fair to compare products within a similar price bracket, with +/- RM100 being a reasonable range. Someone may say, oh why not top up 1,500 for an iphone, I think that's just the fool talking without sense.

Within the 419-519 price range, there is 1s, Redmi Note & H3c.
Within 499 - 599 price range, there is H3c, Redmi Note & maybe one of the Asus Zenfones. What else is there?

For me, 1s with Snapdragon sounds good technically. In real-life performance it falls short of the H3c, especially in terms of features...so many to name... but this is a 1s thread so I shall not mention them here.

The real question is, are the additional features worth the extra RM80 for another phone? That is a question only YOU can answer.

However, if some day the 1s come with 2GB ram and multi-language options, I would not hesitate to get a few more units.

Peace! 

one do not simply compared smoothness of iOS device with android.

atleast not a non highend model. 

Anyone willing to buy the rechargarble battery?
I sell RM25 + free shipping for you.
I need the 5200 powerbank instead. PM me please!

Download from here :

Copy the file to root of internal memory - rename to update.zip
After that, go to Setting > About > Update [MENU] > Select Update Package - go to internal memory root.

TADA...

Not yet....1st boot, look into Mi Market - search & download "Google" package. Download playstore & gangs....

Reboot - you log in to Playstore. 

Thank you . And if something goes wrong, I can use "restore factory default" right ?

I tried volume down and power keys and see only fastboot photo there.. No recovery menu.. Anyone know what I am missing? Just want to make sure I can recover and don't brick the phone if something goes wrong...

Thank you.

what is the different Global rom vs China rom ? why it the battery is better ? i thought the same

The link which I posted up does not need other recovery , just use Mirecovery. Do read the page carefully and follow each step then you should be fine.
I think it has been mentioned alot before by other posters here. Global rom(more languages) got Google apps and no Mi market. China rom(only chinese and english language) the other way round. They did put up the v31 international briefly, but taken off later probably still need more testing due to some problems.

Able to root using the same zip file ?

And if I am on the global rom now , will I lose the google apps ?

Thank you.

 

On the v31 global (which they put up briefly for download) probably had about 100mb more free ram than v29, could improve further if some Gapps are removed.

Hmmm, maybe I should try using the two methods.

Because this time using on MIUI device, thats why.
Mana la tahu if it dont works.

Any flip case selling for it ?

wanna ask.. if buy from seller.. without receipt.. so how to claim warranty? the seller say just send it to service centre through postage.. anyone know?

you do realise malaysia xiaomi redmi 1s doesn't come with receipt right?

Order no is more than enough already.
In fact they should have record of the warranty date.

Just ignore him. He dont even know theres no warranty card in it too....epic

That is very good question, I just received Mi Note yesterday... No warranty card too, while last time received Mi 3 got... Xiaomi how come not so consistency one..

International ROM had also been updated to V34. Includes a fastboot room that you "flash all" if you don't mind starting from fresh. Totally liking it now.

Thank you very much!!

V34 is a good upgrade over V27, much better RAM management now. I think if you do a OTA update, it'll be the V35 now unless you had the V34 pre-downloading onto your phone when you got yourself connected to WiFi.
Yes, Fastboot ROM for Malaysia is available, unfortunately they pulled that V34 version and replaced with V35, Thank God I still have a copy on my PC. Personally starting to feel those Mi Cloud pop up warnings are starting to feel annoying! Might flash it back to V34.
It's actually over here. That is the Chinese version. Fastboot ROM is country specific, unlike recovery ROM. No ideas why, but I like the fact that when you flash using fastboot ROM using the "flash_all" command, the phone goes back to factory defaults, including all the pre-loaded apps that I have already uninstalled on my previous use, flashing a recovery ROM surprisingly, I can't seem to get that done.
