For those who having issue with the latest Google Search update in Mi3.

1. Extra black icon appeared on the home screen after updated.

Not sure what is the cost, possible the Mi Launcher is not compatible. Solution is simple, go to Language Setting & change it to other languages. Then, you may see the black icon is gone, after that switch back to your prefer language.

2. Google Now is not activated in the Google Search.

If you're using Chinese language as preferred language & when you install or update Google Search. Google Now is not able to activate, you must switch to English language before install or update Google Now, may sure you setup the Google Now features before switch back to Chinese language.

1st solution works for me. Thx brah!

Been using Mi3 for 6 days. It's awesome and the battery life could even last me for more than a day ! Fantastic !

Downside is that I don't like the default ringtones, prefer samsung ringtones. And sometimes Facebook , Facebook messengers and Twitter notifications doesn't show on the notifications bar. Maybe my internet connection problem?
*
play around by going to Security > Permission >Manage app permission > apps.

tap apps and tap on Trust This App. nod.gif

Btw, I'm also loving this phone's battery life

Attached Image

I have like 1 hour and 23 min of voice call, screen time on 52 minutes. 8 hours on battery, now still left 79%. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Really impressive battery life.

Hello I don't see "Permission" after going into Security tap.

I think u got the wrong 'Security'. Not the Security in the setting, is the Security app by xiaomi. The 1 that is on the wallpaper, not the 1 in the setting. Sorry, my bad for not realizing, normal android user sure go the Security in Setting. doh.gif

No big deal, try to put Trust this app on apps like Whatsapp or Facebook, might fix the notification not appearing problem. nod.gif

U can also do many advance setting like not allowing ur phone data to access certain app, this will prevent the app from using up ur data plan's quota. Another key feature for miui. thumbup.gif

can open another real mi3 thread in android section again?
*
ideally. The new official mi3 thread in android must change TS, new rules, and play hard ball. WHOEVER that post about delivery status, selling their mi3 (scalpers), selling their powerbank, pistons, how to buy, everyone who post anything bout diz, straight away add 10% warning or 20%. This is the only way to stop ppl from spamming the official thread with these type of question, and also this will divert them to the kopitiam version for these type of question.

apparently my previous suggestion was done, but not much ppl take action. Before this I did suggest kopipeng's thread in kopitiam be the official thread for asking or enquiring about sales and delivery. He did change the title, but then, normal user will ask these questions in android subforum official thread right? So it's a bit hard to control them. unless TS mention the about kopitiam delivery and sales thread in the first post. and say whoever post about delivery and sales here will be added to 10% warning.

Mi3 nid a fresh start in android subforum, and nids to be clamp down hard. Which is wad the mod/staff have done to us. Move us all to serious kopitiam. That really hurts. haha. all discuss about gadgets, but then all of a sudden moved to kopitiam, a place for everything, a pasar. laugh.gif

let's wait for a day and see if any mod/staff speak out and tell us what is happening and what is next. We can only wait now. laugh.gif

unfortunately you are part of the problem with the longest list of Sales Listing as your signature as a TS of an official thread.  You can check other devices official thread, no TS put a loooooooooooooong list of sales thread as their signature.   So apart of the users who are annoyed at the big gaps at the first few posts at the first page becoz of the sales listing, other sellers also feeling not fair as your "advertisement" is displayed big big there at the first page while theirs can't.  And moreover, you always ketuk them when they post sales related posts as if you are more superior than them just becoz you are the TS.  So inevitably, they will report your posts, you might have reported their post too and I can imagine how fed up the mods is with all the daily "reports" to them.  laugh.gif

If you are sincerely want to be a good TS for the mi3 thread, you should either remove your sales listings in your signature or let another member to be TS, just to be fair to everyone.

Of course, this is just my unworthy 2 sen.  No offence, but i am not pointing finger to you personally, just want to highlight the obvious.
*
like i said, the new official mi3 thread in android subforum will nid a new TS, stricter rules. So only solution maybe ask mod to open the thread and monitor it.

But anyway, lets just wait for mod/staff response to our appeal. laugh.gif

Somehow I think it will be quite difficult. AFAIK, I never seen any mod shows interest on the Xiaomi devices, or should I say, left a message in the Mi3 thread. I really doubt that any mod would dedicate him/herself for taking care of a complicated thread. unsure.gif

haiz...seeing mod putting our thread in kopitiam shows how they view our thread. as a joke, as a rojak.

lost of advise and opinion dy, now juz can wait mod's reaction to our appeal. sweat.gif

i think the real reason mod move this thread because you guys spam too much on reports button, everything also reports. Then mod also fed up and transfer the thread here.

To be honest, even other thread not always talking about the device itself. They do actually talk about accessories, sales and other nonsense. But in this thread it become obvious because every week we have sales and every week we have new user joining in asking same question without reading the first page. Trust me, it happen on other thread too but not so much because they dont have so much users like us.

But Mod doesnt care because no one bising2, u think Mod really care what u guys wanna talk about. The problem start when u guys start spamming the report button and alert the mod. Thanks to you guys, they think this is the best way to solve the problem.
*
kinda agree. I c other tered they also talk about accessories, how to get cheapest price for that particular device, where to buy etc. Maybe too many reports for our mi3 thread. laugh.gif

i admit i report 1 post b4, i only report because that particular owner of mi3 give fake info about mi3, shoo-ing off ppl who ask genuine question about mi3. That person just first time ask question, then that reply post give him wrong info of mi3, say mi3 very teruk, and answer him very impatiently. I reported that post for giving false info for mi3. That's it.

Sometimes ppl ask coz they dy tried Google, but no answer, that why they ask in android subforum. But sumtimes, there are bound to have bad apples, why give fake info and mislead ppl who are asking genuine question? If u feel they bodo and didn't research, u dun nid to reply la. Let those that wanna help around reply those question. this is what I don't like.

well, maybe many ppl like me, I just report once, but when all poster report once, sikit2, lama2 jadi bukit. So mod will see it as spam report. laugh.gif

Between Mi3 and Note, which one would be the better buy?

My cousin is using a Mi 3, which is awesome. But a Note, would be good to since I'm used to Note II size.

But MediaTk chip, is it good? Last time I use a MediaTk chip is 9tology, super crappiest phone I ever used.

I also heard Note have some battery problem, only lasting 10h under full wifi use.
*
errr...what has Mediatek chip to do with mi3 and note series? both of them not using Mediatek chip. lol. fyi, mi3 uses Snapdragon 800.

Too much Notes on the market.

Thanks, I was referring to Redmi Note which uses the Mediatek chip. I'm considering the Redmi Note which is only at RM500+ rather than the Mi 3 since I mostly care about the battery capacity. But since i had bad memories using Mediatek phone, I'm a bit skeptical. A Mi 3 price tag is fine, but phablet size is really tempting.
*
aah...my bad too. Since we're in Xiaomi's thread, should've thot of Redmi Note instead of Galaxy Note. doh.gif

Well, if expandable memory, size, better front camera and removable battery is important to u, better get Note instead. hmm.gif

at least Mediatek not running on x86 architecture like Intel SoC which has lack of support for some app. For normal usage, I think Mediatek is ok.

Am using the Papago SGMY M11, GPS locks in within 2 second, and quite stable.

what I did is in Security > Permission > Manage App Permission > Apps > Papago > Trust this app (turn it on).

right after i open Papago app I get this.
