I use this article as a baseline for tips.

How to Take Better Pictures with Your Smartphone's Camera


Especially "clean your lens" part.
people tend to forget camera lens sometimes get smudgy or dusty, this reduces the clarity of the picture.


Actually it can be removed, only need to be strong.
pull it out slowly only.

after that just use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the residue.

If want to use it again, install another thin 3M double sided tape

This is very good info.

Can sticky this!

So the original has a black top, okay at least have an indicator.

Just tried NFC & Android Beaming with my Nexus 7.

Out of 20 tries, only managed 1 time



Not sure my nexus problematic or the phone itself.
Anyone tried?



I'm thinking to buy some NFC tags to put in my workplace & in car

very weird.

need to test with other NFC gadgets



Maybe it has something to do with the noise cancelling feature?

yeah..

but not sure if that's the culprit though

I can't seem to find any info on the max pendrive size which the phone can support.

I'm looking to buy 64GB OTG but not sure if it supports it.

I bought several 2A adapters from lelong (found one which was around RM15, cheap! )
And used that to compare with ori xiaomi charger which is 1A, and true enough it's 2A (incoming about 1.2A)

But yeah, different cables do affect the charger to, i used a cheapo usb cable, and the charging current down to ~600mA-700mA only

I used CurrentWidget & Battery Monitor Widget.

Read several posts about it in Google.
Actually if you use Battery Monitor Widget, it shows the current flow in +ve (flow from battery, not charging) or -ve (flow from battery minus incoming current)

Example:

Not charging = shows "600mA", so phone is using 600mA worth of juice

Charging = shows "-300mA", so phone is using 600mA but incoming juice is 900mA


I believe CurrentWidget is about the same, only it doesn't show the -ve sign



Correct me if i'm wrong guys

My whatsapp group of 50 friends, at least 10 units were bought in total.
Considering the internet penetration in malaysia, 5000 units in 1minute definitely possible.


Just saw this Kickstarter - Legion Meter

92% more power charging!

For that price to pledge, i wonder if it's really worth it

How the heck does a PB scratch a Levis jeans?

I had a superbike accident with levis also, damn tahan wey..If normal jeans, confirm my leg skin gone already




p/s:

Just read the comments at Xiaomi FB.. So much hate..

Finally had the courage to install the "real" screen protector.

Took out the "test" SP, then wiped with the cloth.
Apparently it's dustier also


So i used the good ol' sellotape trick.


Used it untill the surface is dust free the carefully put the anti-glare SP.
Luckily no dust but lots of bubbles, but just used a credit card to push them out.

Perfectoo..


Never felt so fulfilled over such a small matter

LoL..

Left for 1 day then so many posts to read



So what did your friend do? ask for refund?

How are you charging? If use PC/Laptop USB, then have to wait longer

If press means it's just refreshing the status, the last blinking is the actual status.

That should be correct

24 hours too long lah..

u use what charger?



Just received few batches of Klicks (Mikey for android)
So far quite good, feels solid.

Too bad the app is limited to 3 clicks only & the SOS function is all in Chinese, tested SOS sms with a friend, he also quite blur what to do when receiving the SOS sms

Only to the phone.

Can search in file explorer > MIUI > backup > Allbackup

Just sharing for those who wants to buy a Mikey.

You can buy any other Mikey keys like 360/Klick & still use Mikey app

Just tried with a Klick, definitely working with a MiKey App

Just tested, all the way up to 10 clicks successful


Too bad no long press function

Maybe it's the app..

You tried with other apps beside MiClick?

360 app perhaps
