CONGRATULATION, we are on V8,

I really hope no more Tracking status or PB SOLD OUT?? SO FAST on v8 (but most likely going to happen again on next tuesday..)

omg omg omg, share the result after you done it
and update the page 1 accordingly


Yo, if you got time, try to do read from en.miui.com/forum (use the search function there)
or search using correct keyword in www.google.com

I notice that if you aware what you are doing on your Mi3, it will perform very well, but if you don't know what you doing, you will get stuck and the phone just make you angrier

Sometime it might be hardware issue,
Sometime it might be the MIUI limitation,
but most of the time it can be fixed....

so how you know it is limitation? post your Q&A/BUG question in the forum, the MIUI DEV team will look into it and give you an opinion




below is bias, but i found it quite true...
Please don't think that I kutuk you unless you think i am.

one basic rules,

if you are flashing from older version to newer version, it can be done without wipe
but if you are downgrading from New version to older version, you must wipe the data

if can't turn on totally, did try Vol Up Key + Power ? (Hold 10sec) , this act the same like you unplug battery and plug it back.

suntzulee my whatapps got no issue on notification since 4.5.30, but below is my setting

Security > Permission > Manage App Permissions > Apps >
Trust this app
1. Whatsapp
2. Google Services Framework
3. Google Play Services


That is normal, i got that issue before, make sure you have google play services / google services framework installed as well.

And if you already have that and still show no connection > Reboot your phone one more time

Not really, just extra 2 thing to do only compare to Stable to ROM

I using default charger, 16% > 98% less than 3.5 hour.

on any mode also no problem.
Just remember to Locked your Whatapps apps,
so it will receive the notification promptly,

FYI,
I just do a test, with the whatapps task killed from task manager, any new message will not get notify unless i open whatapps manually.

So the main point is, your Whatapps must locked in your task manager.

read back my post early, we take whatapps as example, you can add LINE, WeChat yourself.
(for me, i have wechat, messenger, facebook added and locked.)

Bro, i do appreciate you have ask a lot question,
Please follow the flashing guide given in Page 1 and do it

There is no point keep asking when you didn't start any action...


Bottom Line,
if you are not confident to do it, please stick with Stable ROM,
If you prepare to do it, please do with confident and be patience to read all relevant guide/step given.

No one here know how to do it since day 1, all is learn and read the guide carefully without asking people to spoon feeding..


ya, i am bias again!

Above information is not correct

anyways, this is forum, up to you

but i can ensure you that once you in Dev ROM, you will never think of Stable ROM

38% > 100% within 2hour, slow?

+6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6
all you need is country code, please do check the 1st page (if TS had updated in v8)
this has been mention since V5, v6, v7 and V8



yup, me also the same 38% > 100% less than 2 hours & using Mi3 Ori charger.

hahaha, this morning don't know who keep asking a lot and worried too much

anyway, welcome to DEV ROM,

you are now adult!

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

MIUI DEV team is currently looking at this bug, below is the relevant discussion

suntzulee

In your mi market, search Google, it will display as chinese 谷歌应用下载器，
After you installed, open it, will give you bunch of Google apps list, choose accordingly and install it
your Google playstore might not working after installed, you might need to uninstall it and redo.

Pm me if still not working.
And welcome to the new world.. (dev rom)


nickchk89 Mi3 is IPS screen, one of the screen that drink a lot of juice （especially with more brightness ）, and it is 441ppi, if your brightness is 50%, most likely you will get lesser SoT compare with 10% brightness... other apps usually don't eat too much juice, just the screen..

evolutionize

if you have the google installer from Mi Market,

Go to your phone, look for this ICON,

and open it

you will have lot's of Google relevant app/services, install it accordingly.



Thank you.

but warranty with directd not with xiaomi malaysia

anyways, good deal.

not much different, but directd ROM is pre-install using Taiwan or HKG

anyways, you can flash it at your own,

That the best thing for Android !

Xiaomi already official announce it is 8274AB, Xiaomi & Qualcomm also had announcement to clarify these thing..
It just the bloody naming convention , leave it and this is Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 - 8274AB

not bashing but just telling the fact..

yes, that absolutely correct.!!!

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.......)

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 ?

I know you happy, and me too..
please don't start this tracking thing again.

pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee

as long as WCDMA version, no different
don't buy TD version, you will cry as it only work as 2G in malaysia

Below settings (highlighted in green) is you will see the detail in the drop down status menu.
Below settings (highlighted in blue) is you will see the apps icon display in top left (when there is a new notification)
Settings > Notifications > Manage notifications >
Enable " Show in notification shade "
Enable " show in status bar"

Bottom line,
If you didn't have the apps trusted, MIUI will prevent it to run in background.
so if you need that apps to notify you instantly, make sure it is Trusted. ( how to do that, check back few page back which posted by me about whatsapp notification)

yup, code changed, anyone free go change the code try 1 by 1
