Guys:
1. What's the advantage of using PayPal instead of credit card?
2. Can we use other people's PayPal account?
*
1. no need to re-enter billing and shipping address and also no addition charge 1 USD if just using credit card.
2. yes you can.

Hello to everyone who doubt on Paypal.

It is very simple and don't get confused.

1. You are paying to Xiaomi Malaysia , hence you will not getting any extra charge on top of your total amount + the item is in Ringgit Malaysia not foreign currency, you will not get extra charge.

2. if you have an active paypal account, for the first time you like it with your CreditCard / DebitCard, it will charge you 1-3USD. after that any transaction you did via your paypal account, will not get any charge on transaction fee's

3. if you are not paying to Xiaomi Malaysia via paypal account, but using the CreditCard/DebitCard option directly, You will get charge USD 1 per transaction.

okay... nobody is gonna answer me sad.gif

afraid that i will regret only.. i guess i might as well wait till my iphone 5 kaput then get xiaomi

itll be like 2.4k? which is almost 2.5x more expensive than xiaomi. plus its fun to try new stuff

beras kechil hahaha. i dont think itll be that hard to transition from iOS to Android. I still young at heart. got kids but still young tongue.gif

might give this phone a shot.. might..
well, if you looking for someone to advice & give you the confident to buy it.
Just go for it, I can't say it is the 100% good phone..
but with such value, you can get a flagship model hardware (like sammy,htc)
+ the MIUI (software part) is a plus point.. basically you can't regret what you get for a RM889 phone.

QUOTE(Dannyl @ May 28 2014, 01:34 PM)
But Honor C is cheaper by almost 50% smile.gif
*
Ya, i know.
Cheaper 50% but performance wise also different more than 50%
at least this one, you are holding a "Flagship" spec phone can LCLY with sammy or htc biggrin.gif

hi sifus, i'm already on developer rom. everything is good except one thing...the gps location seem does not work...it keep on circling and i couldnt locate a place or location via facebook or whatsapp...what has gone wrong? thanks

my sister got an mi3 and i got an lg g2 , the mi3 can't be compared to g2 in terms of camera g2 .

The camera is there but the apps used by xiaomi3 good enough and it doesn't look nice (if you compare with other phone)

but if you install other camera apps on xiaomi3, it is different story.

QUOTE(ooikl @ May 28 2014, 03:38 PM)
by looking at the quality of the product itself, its seriously value for money.
sound quality wise, very subjective, i used to have cheapo headset, so after trying this, i feel great.... the bass macam "ada umphh"....

[attachmentid=3990175]

even with cheapo quality headset, once you enable this function, the sound is impressive

I think what people are trying to point out is that despite the similarly looking specs on paper, for the price of a Mi3, the quality that you get from the phone (ie, screen, speaker, battery life, reception, software for example) maybe a notch lower than top line phone like M8, S5, Note3, or Z2.

Of course if only talking about Snapdragon 800 speed, its more or less the same amongst all of them.

I will skip comment further related to how bad is this phone.
or comparing with other phone,

To those who own Mi3, you know the answer and let skip them smile.gif

suntzulee i got it from there as well, but GPS work fine.
please open > Updater > press "menu" button > select "Get latest version of MIUI" > if your "Update (450~510MB)" look like this, mean you required to update it.

at the same time i show this to you, i got new update biggrin.gif

QUOTE(anilin @ May 28 2014, 04:20 PM)
Been using Mi3 for 3 days. 
Anyone facing this situation:  When I try to wake the lock screen, there will be sort of red background with the wording "please do not cover the top of the screen" or something like that flashes for split seconds. I can hardly read the exact sentence so I keep trying to lock and unlock it to make it flashes in order try to see clearly what is it..
*
if you press your power button twice or hold a bit longer, it will become like that..

Bro, u misunderstood me. USB damage happen when I connect a pendrive to mi3 via OTG cable. Not mi3 connect to a desktop as shown in your pic. My pendrive is Fat32. It works flawlessly in my Redmi.....really don understand what went wrong.... rclxub.gif
*
Bro, now i know and i don't have OTG cable, cannot test it out blush.gif
have you try using different pendrive with different format? or ask in en.miui.com/forum
some pro or senior will answer it.

QUOTE(DanceAgain @ May 28 2014, 09:12 PM)
Hahah so true!!! Confirm I will snap loads of pics! I'm using HTC One now, aiyo so tired with their after sales service and the purple tint camera. And when I use waze right, it drains 1% every 3 mins...

When got the new mi3 do I need to charge like 8 hours like that? And is it ok to charge overnight? Sorry damn noob here.
*
yo, charge till it reach 95~100% then unplug it, this will prolong your battery life.

QUOTE(snigapoe @ May 28 2014, 09:22 PM)
ever since i got my mi3 always on charger overnight no problem for me
*
doing this too frequent, you will find your phone battery degraded.
some bro already explain, although modern phone have protection circuit, but once it minus from 100% to 99%, it will start charging and when hit 100% it stop again, so you are stressing your phone battery.

QUOTE(kennethkee93 @ May 28 2014, 09:45 PM)
I'm on dev. rom right now. It's much smoother in term of scrolling and so on, but there's still bug here and there. Ram management not too good either, now it took almost 1.4gb+ ram after clearing cache.
*
yeaahh, DEV ROM is good !!! but you have to be ready if any bug occur, you need google it for some time tongue.gif

Bro, make sure you are not always on "Performance" mode which drain battery a lot.
Please do also check how many Apps you allow it to run in background? (Settings > Permission)

that the reason why you can't get it right tongue.gif tongue.gif
you need to find "google installer" in Mi Market and have those relevant application install
you also need go to "Updater > press "Menu" > Select > get latest MIUI > then choose "update"

my mi3 been on for 1d 21hr since last charge..when i check on the battery usage, Weather consume the most...80%

At the graph where it shows batt percentage v time, GPS has been ON all the time. But i in normal toggles or location service menu, its OFF

any sifu know what is happening.
*
I am not sifu la, you can always check the settings on those apps, it is a pain to figure it out until set it right.
to start with
1. Security > permission > Auto-start management/permission manager
just allow those apps you want it to be auto-start and run in background.
2. if your weather is taking up your battery juice, go to your weather apps settings, change the refresh interval to 1 hour or none ( depend on your preference )
I guess you still in stable mode which the weather app is using Accuweather (this apps drain juice a lot )

3. lastly, once your settings all done, reboot it once and try again.

QUOTE(suntzulee @ May 29 2014, 04:34 PM)
im going to write a review on developer rom i installed yesterday. Well, first it started with some bugs like google play will FC when open. However it was resolved when i reinstall it again. For some reason, dont use greenify as it will screw up the gps location...My whatsapp also got problem whereas it cant get auto notification...my 2nd issue is the
USB damage when i try to connect a pendrive to mi3 via OTG cable. i know my pendrive is good in condition. It works flawlessly in my redmi. However mi3 couldnt detect it and become damaged...still looking for a solution here. My pendrive is FAT32 and i already format it many round even using different format like NTFS, exFAT but all also cant work....

I thing good about developer rom is the rom version is kit kat 4.4.2 and it can install google camera on it. so far im using it and quite good. Another advantage, developer rom is pre-rooted. just access it thru permission tab. very easy.

I'm monitoring the battery consumption as compare to stable rom. Will update once i got the result...till then, stay tuned tongue.gif
*
waiting for your review biggrin.gif

to play Asphalt 8 in Dev rom, you need to use Medium resolution setting ( this not your phone or MIUI issue, but more toward Asphalt 8 not yet update to support KK 4.4 )

QUOTE(kealtam @ May 29 2014, 05:30 PM)
I read somewhere in miui forum is that the app crash on jellybean which is currently what miui v5 stable rom is running on...using developer rom the game can run on high setting...;D to play on stable rom just use medium setting... smile.gif

Which is another way round...
(OH Wait ! I can't recall d, but I can ensure you that using med settings can play it biggrin.gif )


BTW, I am trying the Google Camera and have snapped few photo, too bad cannot upload now.
the blur effect is nice, sames goes to the 360"

I am not photographer, so for them maybe it is bad camera/phone/[what ever your like to fill in here] and yet it is RM899 phone.
