updated my phone earlier this morning. after checking out this thread, i tested my GPS using google maps. it can't lock my position because i switched off my wifi, so i switched it on. straight away locked my position accurately. i tested waze and foursquare/swarm as well. both the same. can't detect my position accurately if wifi is off.

for screen sensitivity, i think it's getting more sensitive instead. even if i just touch my screen lightly, the phone will detect my touch.

Actually not that surprising.
Xiaomi never actually released data who are the suppliers for each components.
have to rely on the teardown website only know  brows.gif

Even Samsung also have different suppliers even for the antenna itself  laugh.gif
LINK!!!!

Go outside and try benchmark lock time between off & on data.
Maybe have something to do with the Assisted-GPS
hmm.gif

any apps for that? i rarely do these benchmark stuffs.

So the new update? What is general consensus? Update or wait 2 weeks first.

Some say ok, some not ok.

Only constant is that Maxis users seems to have more issues then others.

up to you wanna update or not. this is like the debate on to buy x phone or not. if you like it, you buy. if you don't then just move along. the updates are buggy for some but hassle free for others like me. so it's a hit or miss if you ask me.

i believed he mean memory usage is increase so available memory is less.

yes. you know the widget to release memory on home screen, it shows 78-86% on my phone. before this around 60% only.

QUOTE(deadravel @ Jul 23 2014, 11:30 AM)
updated. same as before.really dint nth much diff

so..not an issue there. free memory = wasted memory.
juz let it be.
unless ur phone really LAGs. then got problem la.
no LAG no problem good phone good life  cool2.gif
*
true. there's no noticeable lag so far, but I hope it won't affect my phone in the future.

this should not be a problem  biggrin.gif

i think  78-86% is OK for MIUI. since it does not LAG
my mi3 can reach as high as 95% used memory.
but still doesnt LAG doing normal stuff(online,browsing,fb,insta,whatsapp)

unless i really wan to play graphical GAME. then i would clear the memory first.  cool2.gif

thanks for clarifying. icon_rolleyes.gif

Nope

After ugrade to kitkat 4.4.2, i don't find any problem but many improvements

1.) Camera getting better in low light & no more auto focus problem.
2.) Battery perform even better than already good during JB.
3.) Never experienced drop call, Data connecting also very stable.
4.) The phone doesn't heat up like it used to be after prolonged usage.
5.) Phone call volume is louder.

In fact 4 days after upgrades i find zero defects & all goodies.  thumbup.gif

same here! no issues so far.

after i update my wife mi3 to latest rom, found this issue.

- sometime very lagging on scroll and sometime it just stop scroll and treat it as a click.
- another issue is the her umobile now show as my maxis as operator. but not sure she got face any drop call issue or not
*
that's not an issue bro. refer back to previous posts. we've discussed this before. the phone will show the parent network (dunno this is correct term or not) i.e umobile will show maxis, tune talk as celcom
