alternatively, as advised from a previous forum-er, push the pin till it's partially in and make sure it's up straight, terbalik your phone and press it against the table/floor/wall

sometimes your finger start feeling painful and thus you thought your phone might feel the same

the Mi 3 flip protective and soft gel case from official website, is it good? my requirement:

1) good grip
2) doesn't make the device bulkier
3) price vs quality

this looks interesting: Rubber casing

so... sorry for being a noob and all, does it mean no matter which plug/USB cable you use to charge this phone, it'll take the same time and won't damage it?

i know charging through PC is much slower due to 0.5A output from USB

thanks! keep these tips coming in and post on 1st page

looks like the power button is the only wake-up button on the phone. I assume the MiKey does the same?

or is there any other method to wake up the phone without pressing any hard buttons? kinda phobia with the spoiled home buttons on previous phone...

I can get in

Xiaomi Malaysia

yes, i did

settings > buttons > wake with volume buttons. there are also some other options there

good tips

a stress test on the site to prepare for the mass invasion later

i just need to buy 2 pb for each of my sister bday...

me too...

Time to list out what's wrong with this phone:

1. None

glad to hear that. i was hitting SOT 5hrs+ with 10% left on my first full charge

has been using 2A charger too

Is that the soft gel protective case from mi.com? i planned to get one too as i don't like flips

can do a quick review of it?

erm dude... are you referring to that flip casing? there are 2 types offered in mi.com.my

the flip, yes, has a 3M adhesive tape inside to glue your phone to it but this soft gel casing has edges to hold the phone

for those newly joined who is asking for a quick review:

1) price/performance factor is my primary drive on this phone
2) solid build, not plasticky feel like other flagships
3) smooth MIUI (android with IOS theme) and very user friendly interface
4) i've used SGS2, Note 2, Iphone 5 before, Mi3 battery life is able to suit my needs longer (light call/sms, light browsing, heavy whatsapp and Line, medium gaming) -> at most charge once a day, sometimes can last 1 day+

sure, it doesn't have LTE, external SD slot and other fancy features like Samsung but i do not need them

today must get 2 units! don't wanna disappoint my sis again

Go Keyboard? been using on across few mobile platforms suits my needs
