Any Mi3 user encounter FORCE CLOSE on Asphalt 8?

it is common issue on Asphalt 8, just change it to medium settings and this is not Xiaomi Mi3 issue biggrin.gif

What he means is in June there'll be a new model of Xiaomi phone, probably Mi3S or something.
*
Mi3S or Mi4 will not launch so soon...................... (my prediction Sept-October < please mark my word) tongue.gif
why?
1. if just Snapdragon 801, really nothing to shout about.
2. it is just the same as Mi3 with only slight chances, which is a scam like what Sammy / apple doing biggrin.gif , and normally Xiaomi not practicing this, they do business with hearts ... Conscience

The button is it feel like any other click button ? Or metalic type ? I edi got the plug for that hole, and I worry I might accidentally click this button actually hence never wanted it.  hmm.gif

It is selling RMB4.99 (RM2.65) only in xiaomi website, still can wait till it come to malaysia and it is not a "must" to have it.


Bro WTSNWTB, didn't meant to quote you on previous post... it just annoy when keep answering the same question biggrin.gif that why refer to post 1 tongue.gif but you are right, with Dev ROM, it will have mi market and lot's of theme, ringtone can be get easily (especially i like Chinese song only!!! )

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ May 31 2014, 10:27 PM)
Same here, it's ridiculous the ROM itself take 1GB++.
*
The ROM itself just took about 600~700MB, why your Free Ram always left less than 600mB?
This is the nature of Android and how it work..
Android will load as much as possible apps into your RAM to speed it up when you using it, and also it will drain your battery lesser because your RAM is occupied.

QUOTE(kennethkee93 @ May 31 2014, 10:30 PM)
Don't think it's 801, there's already 805.
Normal to me, sometimes mine uses more than 1.4gb ram, left 500-600mb left after clearing cache.
*
Oooo, didn't notice got 805, 808 or 810.. but i don't care now, i am happy with Mi3
if got new one, just buy lor, another RM889 rclxm9.gif

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ May 31 2014, 10:56 PM)
4GB RAM is not practical?? our Android still running 32bit?? how to obtain 4GB ram when 32bit only can read up to 3.5GB ram.

QUOTE(DanceAgain @ May 31 2014, 11:14 PM)
Wow! To be honest I'm not sure if I'm gonna be ok knowing that right after I get Mi3, Mi4 is making its way here. I'm thankful for this thread because you guys make me feel so much secured making a decision to buy this phone, so far reviews have been very positive... I probably won't consider turning to the mainstream brands BUT Mi4, can you come like slightly later??? I haven't received my Mi3 yettttt... Haha!
*
Don't worry, you will happy with Mi3 if you configure it properly !! and with no regret!!!!!

QUOTE(DanceAgain @ Jun 1 2014, 01:39 AM)
It's people like you who make the buyers feel so much relieved, thanks a lot!!! But what do you mean by configuring it properly?
*
That the fun part on MIUI, it's allow you to do a lot configuration (not for those hardcore users),
sometime somewhere you will find some bug/error on it and required you to check their forum and seek for solution...
*ops, this is applicable for DEV ROM*

But if you are at stable rom, it will should be fine but if *so happen* there is a bug, you need to wait for a month or two for the official update/patch..

Below is bias, my own experience and finding (some how la, don't flame me) but if you choose to flame me, please don't open it.

No idea, I got wechat, whatsapp, facebook, messenger, active after clearing cache. Having 600mb of ram free doesn't mean it'll slow your phone down or eat more battery.
It won't be another RM889, usually the price is set at 1999RMB upon launching. Mi3 has dropped it's price last month due to the upcoming phone to be released soon.
*
okay la RMB1999, about RM1055.. still cheap biggrin.gif

got my phone already.

much better build quality than samsung, but still cannot beat the similar priced Lumia 920  sweat.gif

are you sure Lumia 920 better? in term of what? rclxub.gif
can you advice?? icon_question.gif
from hardware itself already " lose 9 street " tongue.gif

I cannot accept it !! if there is any current selling phone which had Similar selling price can beat Mi3 blink.gif

if you got a phone that have "similar selling price" as Mi3 and you think it is better than Mi3, please share it,
so this thread can discuss more about the phone itself...


Rather than tracking status..

Seriously, I don't meant to be like this to you, but other should take note on this... (to who intend to post tracking or ask about other did you receive it already??? rclxub.gif )

As I post before, maybe in V5 or V6,
There is no point you post your tracking detail here or ask about other, no one able to help you since we just forumer, HERE IS LOWYAT FORUM, THIS IS NOT FedEx or UPS

Call them up for more information, there is a reason why Customer Services has been setup for, is for you to call them and inquiry.

If your post about tracking but helping other to confirm there is two shipment from Xiaomi, then it is helpful...
but if just asking why not yet receive , why you have received ???

1. your parcel still with FedEx/UPS , you will not know what is the latest information if you didn't call them.
2. you will get angry or angrier because someone had it receive "earlier" than you, and they also order at 28May.
3. As I mention before, FedEx is try to please we all, they will delivery it before the promise date. but their SLA is still 6-8 Working day or 5/June/2014!!!!


FYI, SLA = Service Level Agreement.

if still doubt go to SC tongue.gif (i heard they do 1 to 1 exchange immediately if they can't fix it, perhaps this is what Xiaomi try to impress Malaysian.)

I want a SP which is Crystal Clear + Anti Finger print + (not so easy to be scratch), any suggestion ?

Another thing is, why need Corning Glass SP, our phone already came with Corning Glass 2 and why still need another layer on top?? not make sense right?

I did like to use the phone without any SP, just the finger print is too annoying sad.gif....
now I am using Anti-Glare SP, the screen PPI is like 200+ standard sad.gif

can your phone bend to 90 degree? Wow.. that good model u got.. and as for the availability of corning, in fact, a lot of china manufacturer used the terms gorilla glass to promote their sp, its just most of them are fake claims.

this is imos Solid EX Corning glass sp after 4 months of heavy use on my iPhone 5. Let me know if any of the sp in the market can have this oleophobic effect after 4 months of heavy use. And also, if you might forgotten, oleophobic coating helps to reduces the fingerprints and stains on your screen.

[attachmentid=3996296]
the sp requirement is similar with the actual screen. n it gives u the reason y corning is needed.
Wanted to know why u like phone without sp? clarity?
your question on why need another corning on top? so that u will have the same feel as naked screen but with extra protection better than a soda lime glass which only gives u protection but bad user experience. hope this explanation make sense.

or u can think it this way, why do people go for Camry when a proton saga can also drives them from point A to point B? Then u should have the answer why corning sp and not soda lime sp.
*
Bro, no offence, this is misleading, but anyways, I got your point.
and no offence again, i sense you are hard selling imos Solid EX Corning glass sp and notice you're actually selling it tooo... no offence but let just skip this.. kthxbye.

QUOTE(ralfmars83 @ Jun 2 2014, 01:40 PM)
I was on Dev ROM 4.4 and wanted to downgrade to MY Stable ROM 4.3
So i installed CWM. Been able to downgrade succesfully.
I did not do any other things in CWM apart from dwngrading to the MY ROM.

Last friday, my phone suddenly freezed/hang when i attempted to open Gallery>Local Image.
Then i force reboot it (press+hold power button) and it stucked during boot up.
From that state, i can go into CWM (power button + Vol up) and Fastboot (Power Button + Vol Down) succesfully.

In CWM, it keep prompt me with an error as below
E: TrueDualBoot : failed mounting data

I cant do anything from CWM. Everything will just failed including formatting data and DISABLE tdb.
I tried to use FAstboot and MiFash to flash a rom. it fails. it says cannot load the rom directiory.

Appreciate if any of you can help.
*
why you need CWM rclxub.gif

If you still haven't sorted it out, please try below.

MIUI had default recovery, go to recover mode
Updater > "menu" button > reboot to recovery mode
then choose wipe all data, once done
copy the ROM and paste it to your phone,
then try from there...


QUOTE(blackamikaze @ Jun 2 2014, 04:18 PM)
its funny when some people already got their MI3 from the first batch, suddenly post about delivery is consider as spam and unnecessary. While on thread v4 and v5, all this same person also talk about delivery non stop.
What a bunch of assholes.
*
ya, i admit i am an assholes, but i just start replying in V5 after i got my phone.
the thread is moving too fast and a lot useful information has been missed out due to all those Tracking Status
again, some one had mention already (perhaps it is me), no point you share your track status in here.. what can other do about it??? you must find the correct way to get your stuff.

If you receive your phone and post here, I know at least you are asking TS to add into owner list.
this is Xiao Mi3 thread, not power bank, please open a new Thread to discuss Xiaomi PowerBank there, not here please.


QUOTE(Cynox @ Jun 2 2014, 04:43 PM)
The reason is plain simple - there is already a track record for the delivery time frame from the first batch.  During the first batch - no one has any prior knowledge of the delivery time frame by Fedex/UPS, so we updated each other of the latest development. 

But the second batch has almost the same time frame for delivery, so why spam the thread with updated status of your own delivery status if it is nothing out of ordinary and it concern no one else but yourself only.  rolleyes.gif

Dun call us assholes so fast.  If the 3rd/4th/5th/6th..... and later batch keep spamming this thread with update of their individual delivery status, i am very sure you will also be very annoyed and be an ******* yourself.  shakehead.gif 

I never encounter a thread like this before coz there was only a first wave, after everyone got their phones, discussions will move to accessories, mod, custom rom, problem/issue, etc.  But mi3 is very unique coz there is a new wave every week.  I am wondering when will the "first wave" syndrome ends, maybe until there is no more new batch coming or until mi4 is coming.  biggrin.gif
*
+1, I just wake up and I it is at 34page already.(yesterday my last saw is at 19or20 page) i lazy to go 1 by 1 and just skipped all smile.gif

I strongly suggest to open a thread just to discuss your Delivery status.



just my 2 cent, and I am bias, you can flame me as you wish but continue like this, this thread serve no meaning.

i need CWM to revert back from Dev ROM kitkat 4.4 to MY Rom JB 4.3.
Thanks but seems like you advise doesnt work for me as i cant boot into stock recovery
*
from 4.4 to 4.3, you need full wipe
try hold Power + Volume up key (10sec)
it will give you the option, wipe all data and try from there.

Anyone having any problem verifying number for WhatsApp?

make sure your contact , the number are saved with +6 infront.
i just notice Mi3 can't auto identify it if the number have a "+6" different.

example: your fren number you saved in your contact list as 0123456789
after you message him or called him, your log will show that you have call/message your fren.
when your fren return call or message, for sure it will showing +60123456789, it will just displaying the number , instead of showing the name you saved in your contact list.

for the same reason, whatsapp can't detect it and having some bug here.

I am not too sure about this, maybe some one can correct me if i am wrong.
I just add +6 prefix on my whole contact list, now my whatsapp showing me 200++ (previously just 120)

** application to help you add prefix in just 2min step.***

sometime Waze apps might just go hay-wire( you just need to reinstall )

Bottom line
When you about out to oversea, make sure it is off (data roaming).
