Hi,

Does everyone here updated the firmware to 14.0?

Just got it just now (Silver 16gb).

My hand is itchy to root, coz used to use MIUI for 2 years already, suddenly see bloatwares here and there, I beh tahan >.<.

Thanks in advance!

Haha thanks for the input!

Well, my phone is only 1 hour old, guess maybe I should just give it a go and see?

I just can't live without Titanium only T.T

I'll update using OTA sin.

I tried on my friend's Mi3 with that flipping case thing.

It didn't turn on/lock the phone.

Not sure if there's only 1 type of flip cases or he could be using other ones.

Yea, I'm an avid flasher (probably a core reason why I have never used an Apple phones) . I can live with bugs.. I just want full control.

So, I am charging my Miao.

The charging speed is horrendously slow T.T

Is this the way it is? I heard about this 1A charger 2A charger..so how do we speed things up?

Hey, you led me to my next question

How would I know which charger is safe to get? Apart from it being a 2A charger?

Like any particular good brand?

P/S: Will USB charging also apply? Or USB charger is always the same regardless of what cable we use.

Oh help me understand this. The thing that matters is the head plug right? The one with the ampere power. It's never the cable?

If that's the case then I just use my iPad charger only lah lol. (they don't have any conflicting issue right? You know, like incompatibility).

Interesting. So we can measure this current thing right? Saw it on a thread, like the output power showing on his android device.

I see. Thanks.

So, in theory... there's no way to speed up USB charging, like charging via notebook.

But, high quality USB cables (which I had no clue how we can see this apart from trusting good brands?)

I play Little Empire.

So this is the first game I played on Miao.

Very vivid graphics, huge boosts for me.

But the phone heats up until my palm sweat! Hahahah god damn it.

IF I were to think logically, the OS assisted the distribution of power and fasten the process with the use of some sort of software embedded in the phone(of course by not using data/wifi/gps on maybe)......whereas Off charging means it just does stuffs normally.

Just my opinion if it was true, otherwise, the poster was drunk as he was typing.

So here's my 1 day review after I got my Miao. (Silver)

I hope I can shed some light to people who intended to own but not too sure if you'd want it.

Info:

Got it from directd SS15 Subang (they have quite large amount of stock...macam ada underground cartel supplying to them haha).

Went there at noon yesterday, the shop was freaking packed with people. Till the dude shouted "Okay, Mi3 buyer please queue this lane, for other phones please queue on this lane!" lol..what a handful.

Price: RM 929, they marked up, but I didn't care. Coz I went to Lowyat Plaza the day before, almost everyone is selling at RM1,100-1,200.

Black/White - RM960 respectively.

Build: Very light and solid. I had a hiccup trying to pluck the sim card tray out, becareful when you use the pin, it could peel the housing/color layer. Be gentle. I dented mine lol.

Speed: Blazing fast. Godamn it no complains there. (I'm a skeptical douche la, when I did AnTuTu benchmark, mana tahu if mi3 can somewhat always come on top each time we bench it haha...coz no matter how many times I do it, it always score #1. Is this benchmark really legit?)

Heat: It heats up quite mad also, certain games really squeezes its juice to the max. If I play on conserve mode, then games slowed down a little, quite noticeable but the phone doesn't heat up as much. I'm a naked user, so the heat is quite intense, making me sweat. So, if you're concerned, use a phone cover.

Capacity: 16GB non-expandable, some people live through this, I do. But if you are the kind who likes to store images of your selfies all the time, better get cloud storage.

Display: 441ppi, I don't think I need to clarify further. It's awesome.

Camera: Not much of a camera man, but according to my fiance's claim, its pretty good.

All in all, it's a good daily use phone that's only a fragment of a flagship brands prices out there. I think the black Mi3 is the best among all colors. Very sleek like Prada liddat. But I chose Silver..coz it's RM40 cheaper. (Kind of regretting a little bit when my fiance said, I could've just closed an eye and pay for Black color and be happy and don't smoke for 4 days to make up for hahah...shit).

Reboot your phone, mine had a problem too. I rebooted the device and it worked.

Thanks! and hey, yeah I misquoted. I was actually referring to my fiance's feedback towards the frontal camera where people like to selfies. It's pretty good compared to her Note 2.

Thanks for pointing that out

Hi, thanks for the input.

Coz I never owned luxurious phone after my Galaxy Note 1, 3 years ago and recently changed to Mi3, I didn't know about flagship phones. Means even the likes of S4, S5 also heats up like mad?

And yea, I always use my phone naked. But the solid body still feel flimsy like I can scratch it any time haha.

But as you said, heat may not ventilate freely out of the cover hence it's better naked.

But to be honest, this is a primary phone for me which I don't really care if it's damaged physically for the price I paid. I am the king, not the phone. So the phone has to take care of me lol.

Ohhh okay bah liddat.

Then I don't think I got any negative feedback on this phone..people say 16gb isn't enough, I don't take pics much and I got an Ipad to enjoy games.

Software-wise also is so good it doesn't feel like bloatwares.

..will stay stock for awhile until root is more friendlier. Can't wait to have full control over miself~~~

I think it's pronounced as Mi-yu-eee.

Watched their presentation and hear them say that. But maybe I was wrong. Heck maybe the company was wrong pronouncing it hahaha!

Yea, CPU load is above 50% for me as well, but as the poster said before this, as long as it doesn't lag your phone, don't bother trying to reduce it. This isn't Windows hahahah!

Darn, thread moved too fast.

Sorry if it was posted before.

I couldn't find a timer on camera, like for selfies for example...back/front camera..I can't find it in the settings.

Any ideas?

Lol exactly. Why so ma fan wiping? Just go PlayStore and re-download only. I did the same too.

My phone did not come with SwiftKey (I opened from box, and turn it on, and there's NO SwiftKey)

So that alone exclude the fact that it came with it, unless my Mi3 came from different planet.

Omg new discovery! I just leveled up!

Thanks bro for the tip! really handy.

@De Gaea: Mine didn't come with SwiftKey -.-..weird.
