Developer rom will get updates every Friday, in MIUI community they called it Orange Friday.

You won't lose everything, just use updater app to update or download from PC and transfer to phone and flash manually without wiping your data and cache.

Try gravity screen from play store.

OK I managed to reinstall 4.6.6 Dev ROM from a clean install by wiping all data. Trusted WA, google play services and google framework. Managed to get instant notifications from WA momentarily but the issue of not receiving notifications came back again. Anyone still facing this issue? Had to lock WA in the background now. Still monitoring on the battery drain.

This Friday they have an update for the Dev Rom? I need to download and transfer to my phone right? Will I lose everything?

Bro, you win, your Mi3 is 8974AB, okay?

Although my phone info (About phone) also show the same
but this is definitely is 8274AB..

Not your's or mine fault, is just the bloody Qualcomm company don't know how to name their product properly..

hmmm wait, they have clarify it, 8x74 is their current latest in production chipset for phone,

so the X can be represent to
8074
8274
8674
8974

0 = no network chip set
2 = HSPA+ chipset
6 = CDMA chipset
9 = LTE chipset

so your Mi3 got LTE ? yes/no ?
   

anyone knows if we can use a multi usb port to charge more than one device at once for the PB?

as mention bykennethkee93, is a known bug, what we do is a workaround
but i receive my notification instantly even i have remove them from task manager .

I not sure why you all have these issue.

later tonight when i got time, i do some testing again.. then i will revert back.

For me, i think MIUI had too many lock down due to "Security" reason,
it is good to protect your privacy but sometime over protected , some people might pissed off 

but for me, it is an option to configure myself or the way i want
(That good about Android vs iOS)
Update won't affect your user data, it just change on system data,
but please take note that some application might not working after the update,
you  need go to the apps > application> clear cache/data
example: Widget, Theme and etc..

No need download from PC and transfer to phone,
Usually, around 6~8pm,
At your phone > go to "Updater" > it will prompt you to update to the latest one.
or
Your notification bar will prompt you as well asked to update it (which is OTA)

the naming convention for DEV ROM is MIUI 4.6.6 <<< (the .6.6 is date, so next one will be 4.6.13 and next next week is 4.6.20, and next next next week is 4.6.27 and next next next next week is 4.7.4.......)

Anyone having issues with the messaging app? Sometimes my contact names are not displayed in the messages, just the numbers, and sometimes they do.

Also, I find it annoying that the native messaging app does not recognize a 016-xxxxxxx and a +6016-xxxxxxx as message from the same contact, so they appear in two different message thread even if they are from the same contact....

I've just found out whysome time the ringtone come in 2 second later for incoming call..
(after some research in the past 2 day)
When this option is Enable, you will face below scenario.

Go to Phone > press "Menu" button > Settings > Call Settings > Incoming Call settings > Mute unknown numbers

Example:
a) IF the incoming call number is a "unknown number" (not saved in your contact list), it will not play the ringtone for the first 2 second

b) IF the incoming call number already saved in your contact (no longer act as unknown number), it will just play normally

To have these "good" features turn off, you must Disable the Mute unknown numbers

I think this feature/function in MIUI should annoying most of you guy/gal/gentlement/ladies/ajussi/ajuma here, especially your Mi 3 doesn't recognize the incoming call number, where you have saved it in your contact list ( your contact list saved as 0129876543 but the incoming number show +60129876543 )
Ok, since I have mention on this topic,

If your current contact list have most of the number saved as 0123456789 (without country code)
and you have call/sms/whatapps them, when they reply, MIUI will open it as a new conversation (instead of showing the name)

Workaround as below, (you can take this as permanent solution too, but MIUI Dev team is currently working on it)

1. Go to Google Play Store, install Number Fixer application
2. Open Number Fixer and go to Control > Add area/country code
3. It will prompt for option : Set number search options
3a. Find numbers that are this many digit long: (choose 10 or 11) > press OK
3b. it will display all the number (10 digit) currently found in your contact, KINDLY check it properly if all those are Malaysia phone number, simply press the "X" at left to exclude it from the list.
3c. Area code to be prepend: input +6 then choose "FIX ALL"
4. it will took around 1 minutes or less to complete and all set!

Additional !
If your WhatsApp cannot retrieve your contact list, Kindly go to Security > Permission > Manage App Permissions >
A) if you go by Permission tab , select Contacts > WhatsApp > Allow
B) if you go by Apps tab, select WhatsApp > Contacts > Allow

I will recommend you to Trust this app for WhatsApp because that will fix the notification delay too
