Ya, Im using Maxis, about clearing cache, it might lost the temp memory data on your device, however yr data is still intact, dont worry, Best is just backup your MIUI settings, message, wifi, or others that is important to you before you perform this cache clearing 1st.
To go to recovery the fastest way is go to updater, press menu option, then you will see go to recovery option.
*
In updater's menu option, I only see reboot into recovery mode. Are you mean this option?
After reboot, I don't see clear cache, instead I saw Wipe & Reset. Is this mean clearing the cache?

Try experimenting like power button slightly faster than volume button, or reversed.

Not about the phone but rather the NFC reader itself, lots of types and not all follow standard

I learned it the hard way, bought so many NFC stickers & cards, some can read & write, some can read only, some cannot detect at all.
After some googling, that's the reason la laugh.gif

hey guys, i'm still in the old version of MIUI (JXDMYBD14.0), unrooted. I'm often having some problem with my wifi, but I'm not sure whether it is my wifi's problem or my phone's problem. When I connected with wifi, showed connected, it sometimes seems to be have no connection, as my whatsapp unable to deliver, fb unable to refresh and etc, this problem will only gone after i disconnect and reconnect wifi or even rebooted the phone.

having the same problem with you

I do notice that, after i clear the cache, the settings of the apps or permission level has to reallow it again. So do in some of the apps they will ask permission to read yr contact list or network. etc etc .. for me i just allow it or uninstall then reinstall the apps again.

I still havent encounter frozen boot so far after the update, maybe my apps/data still lesser. But MIUI apps permission level is really powerful that until voice command "ok google now" is not functioning until had to open the google search apps.

i agree on this, it is so powerful
before installing apps, you will get prompt all those permissionn is needed which you agree and install it.
but after install it. miui still have it disable ohmy.gif ohmy.gif
so you need to manually allow it again (if you miss the security prompt)

Hi anyone here facing Facebook and Google maps unable to detect location using WIFI or 3g? Outdoor using GPS is no problem. But when you are indoor using network to determine location it's not working for me after the latest official update

Depends what "indoor" you talking about, if normal landwd property no problem, commercial building like 30-40 storeys & i at middle or lower floor & far from windows then non of my current phone can lock into gps, either Samsung, Black Berry, Nokia or Xiaomi can't do that.

In fact my Mi3 can lock to gps faster after the update, then again could be apps update since i get goggle map uodate after Mi3 KK update.

Mine is a condo. Normally if there is no GPS signal the data connection will provide the location(might not be accurate). I have 2 mi3 one on older 4.3 able to use google map to determine location in the condo through data.

I'm wondering that you guys that have call drop problems updated the phone OTA or via desktop? Mine seems fine (Maxis user), the only thing is that the GPS works at first, but once you turn it off and turn it back on, it goes weird. Loading GPS seemed like forever, especially in Waze. Still haven't find a way to resolve this, maybe I should do full ROM download and install?

kuching side effected as well, funny thing was it happen on my cozen unit (who buy my mi3).

Suspect the line prob as no issue on digi line doh.gif

Google uses pre-cache IP & Wifi Scanning to determine location.

A bit complex method, can't find the discussion thread, read long time ago but if i remember correctly, it can be improved.
Maybe reset wifi & login location manually first? hmm.gif

I used S2 also that time. I can say from from experience, depends on the driver too.

mine with custom rom with different modem driver (i think mine was EU version) because more stable at my place.
Maybe your cousin's s2 same situation as mine? hmm.gif

Anyhow, too many variables to consider. Just hope in MIUI V6 in 3 weeks would resolve all of this issues tongue.gif

I think that's the GPS problem we are facing, but I think you put it better. GPS works outdoor, but once in door the GPS (or data or wifi) does not work, rendering Map, Google Now etc useless
