/k area is best to create dedicate thread for it.

so true..if you wanna post about issues or mi3 related stuff, go official miui forum better..
but here still got some users who really look into mi3 related posts rather than the buying subject which makes the thread move fastest to the maxx

Anyone having problem with their Mi3 network reception? My phone always have network error. The phone can suddenly have no network connection and I need to reboot it. Same goes with the 3G as well, despite showing H+, I can't access to internet and need to reboot as well.

Not sure if my sim card issue or hardware issue hmm

Yup unlimited

Sorry have to debunk your theory. China never subsidize any China phone maker include Xiaomi as well. I can't say Xiaomi don't make profit but just a little bit to cover all their costs. There are already some interview and report on Google which you can find it. Another reason is, they don't advertise like any other big brand out there.

PS. I just went to my local Fedex center to collect my Mi3 which I can't wait to unbox it to find out

performance wise, screen lost to note.. OLED is the best.. battery unable to last me till 8pm.. changed all night last night.. which part did I do wrong? =_=

1. I unpack from box
2. Put simcard
3. Switch on
4. Use the fon till battery almost out (3%)
5. Charge till full
6. Switch on
7. Use from 8pm - 7pm (most on whatsapp)
8. Need to charge already

sot is?
yeah.. now on day 2.. most on 3g network.. rarely on wifi.. some said wifi sucks more juice..

Sot = 70%
hmm.. here I use digi.. normally for full bar on Note2 but I realize on mi3 the signal got 1-2 bar for HSDPA.. is there anything wrong? now charging.. what is the name of that app battery monitor? Hmm now almost full battery.. should I just let it charge till tmorrow morning?

Not only Mi3, all NFC enabled smart phone can scan a Visa Wave credit card........my card, passport, touch n go card also can scan. Just need a special apps to read what contain in the card.
U all can try it and also can test wheather your phone NFC is working or not. Just enable NFC, put MyCard, Touch n Go card, passport and what ever card that are using NFC technology. U can hear a sound ting tong ....mean your phone NFC is working.

sorry 3G is sucking more power if u r in a building cos weak signal means it will serch...
8 am or pm??? what is your sot??? ur calls???
please refer to my attached stats...
BTW the 1st is weekend stats (17+ hrs) and another is weekday (10 hrs)...
me 3G data or wifi when i'm home... K9 mail, whatsapp, wechat, facebook, gmail, CoC, Slots and some others...
background sync on also...
i never on NFC haha... surprise why ppl always let it on...

Have you tried it before? anyone have visa wave to test?

now screen on time : 28mins (70%)
mobile signal : 58mins (5%)
clash of clans : 7mins (14%)
after 1 hour usage battery already : 91%
some said need few cycle of charging.. let see first..

i got mine yesterday... at my area alone there like 7-8 delivery for xiaomi... even the fedex driver also asked me... is this phone so great? haha

Clash of clans is a battery drainer. Proven. It didn't matter on Android or iOS, it just drain like hell. I always limit myself when playing Clash of clans on mobile.

I only play Clash of Clans and 2048.. else sometimes whatsapp & fb only.. call few mins only..
Haha.. kinda true.. coc can play other than mobile?

seems like Clash of Clans is battery drainer~ how about TOS? I am playing with my phone P780(king of battery life). I tried be4, play almost wholeday, the battery still wont finish~ I wonder whats the difference when play at Mi3... Hope I can GRAB IT LATER~

sure p780 last longer because:

Mediatek MT6589 Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7
PowerVR SGX544
720 x 1280 pixels, 5.0 inches
Li-Po 4000 mAh battery

while mi3:

Qualcomm MSM8274AB Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400
Adreno 330
1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.0 inches
Non-removable Li-Ion 3050 mAh battery

mediatek known for battery saver, while snapdragon is powerful cpu.

and 720p screen save a lot of battery compare 1080p, most of the time, screen use around 50% of battery juice...

I saw many members asking about the charging issue on Mi3 & many members here already answered it.

Here I may explain a little based on my own understanding & experiences.

1. Can I use 5V 2.0A or above charger to charge Mi3?
Yes, you may but the maximum input voltage of Mi3 capped to 5V 1.2A. No matter how high the Amp the charger supported but still Mi3 only can charged at 5V 1.2A max.

To those who saw the launching video of Mi3 in China before, may aware that Mi3 is claiming supported fast charging technology & can boost the current charging speed up to 30% faster by purchasing optional higher Amp charger. So our original Mi3 charger is rated at 5V 1.A & battery capacity is 3040mAh, the formula of charging time from 0% to 100% is simple.

3.05Ah(3050mAh)/1.0A = 3 hours 5 mins if you're using 1A charger.

3.05Ah(3050mAh)/1.2A = 2 hours 35 mins if you're using 2A charger. (Maximum charging input voltage is 1.2A for Mi3)

This is what Xiaomi claiming about up to 30% fast charging technology.

However, there is one statement to be cleared here, don't assumed that charging time I posted here is accurate because the charging time is normally higher that what I posted due to below reasons:-

1) The Amp charging of phone will be fluctuated within 10% to 40% due to your phone is on or background running task that may consumes battery. That's why when you're playing games while charging the phone charging speed is slow.

2) The charging speed will be slowed down when phone battery is almost full.

3) Other factors like battery temperature, charging currents losing & etc.

Therefore, don't provide wrong statement to Mi3 users that if using 2A charger can finished charging it 2x the speed where our Mi3 didn't support 2A charging input voltage. However, if you're using Samsung S4, Note 3 & others then you may see the different because they are supported 2A.

2. How to I check the charging input voltage?
There are few battery apps available, my personal favourite would be Exilir 2. You may monitoring the charging current based on below screenshots. For example, negative value means the phone is charging & positive value means the phone is discharging.



3. Does it means Mi Powerbank is useless if it supports up to 5V 2.1A output voltage while my Mi3 only supports 5V 1.2A input voltage?
Powerbank is designed to suit & support most of the devices in the market & that's why Mi Powerbank is designed to support charging devices up to 5V 2.1A where you may charge your iDevices, Samsung, Xperia & etc.

Don't you want something that can rules them all?     

Statement provided above may be wrong & I'm not an electrical literate ppl. I just shared what I know & hope it will be knowledgeable to you. 

coc got fb version?
I agree mi3 faster than note2 but the screen responsive kinda slow, sometimes not working when I try to deduct training archer from barrack.. like, need to press the screen or something..
hmm.. so I just play coc on note2.. I tot I can expect more from mi3..

Using battery current monitoring app to check when you're charging using S3 original adaptor & Note 2 original adaptor. You may see the different. 

this phone is good? any bad side?
