You're using original charger or oem one. If original, then no choice. If oem, then you know why.

Anyway, if you have Xiaomi PB, try charging using that. Unlike direct plugon charger that do trickle charging after reaching 100%, Xiaomi PB will switch itself off after reach 100% for a short while. Its one of the best safeguard that not all PB has.

See if the same "hot" temp re-occur after that 100%. Wonder if your phone battery spoil or not.

just ceiling fan..also slow lol... but even with phone turned on also quite cool

Reflash to the lastest V23 stock version, factory reset, then see if it works or not.

You can use Samsung phone's 2 amp charger if someone have them.

As for quality of stuff, I agree, overall they are good but the small things that makes up the stability and actual quality, I still prefer my S4. Most likely will upgrade to S6 next year or Note 4 even tho way they are more expensive but less problematic overall and overall apps stability is better (yes, the small stuff matters to me too).

i laughed at your response bro...sempat lg tu selit lagu havoc...

i think you should upgrade your firmware...since my 1st phone which is htc desire till now,i always charge my phone overnight...no such problem encountered bro...give it one last try upgrading your firmware and see the outcome...

About update, even Samsung also screws up a lot lar. Their S4 kitkat is so buggy on initial official release, up to now, I still no want update, prefer to stay at 4.3 with its more stable system. Even then, my widget screen update will freeze permanently unless I reboot whenever I activate/deactivate 4G data connection.

Iphone firmware update is MUCH less problematic coz they do not have to deal with variety of hardware assembly, screen layout, etc. Just only 1 choice unless you jailbreak. So if you choose stability and stagnancy above all, iphone is still the phone to go for. More choices means more headache.

That's why I prefer Xiaomi PB, cheap and yet it has more protection features and quality than most below RM200 pb.

I often see many misconceptions about iPhone batteries, and Li-ion batteries in general, so I thought I'd write a mini-guide to address this issue.

iPhones have Lithium ion batteries. All Li-ion batteries have a limited life span, ie a finite number of charge cycles that they can undergo before becoming useless. The number of cycles you can achieve is determined in part by how you treat the battery.

The two biggest enemies of Li-ion batteries are heat and over-voltage charging. The latter is mainly taken care of by charger design (ie trickle charging and cutoffs).

Heat is a bigger problem. Batteries get hot when they are charging. Heat is also related to the other big reducer of Li-ion battery lifespan: Deep charge cycles.

Li-ion batteries function optimally and have the longest lifespan when discharged to around 60-80% then charged to full. Full (or deep) discharges* reduce the lifespan of the battery. Full discharges are bad due to intrinsic chemistry (small permanent changes inside the battery reduce its life) and also recharging from a low charge will inevitably heat (causing more permanent chemical changes) the battery more than shorter, more frequent charges.

Often people recommend infrequently fully discharging Li-ion batteries and sometimes even report better life after such treatment. This treatment of batteries is a legacy of times when Ni-Cad batteries were the predominant type and the subsequent conflation with Li-ion technology.

The apparent 'improvement' results only from the recalibration of the electronic gauge used to display the remaining battery percentage. Directly gauging a battery's current level of charge is not actually possible. The percentage shown is an average 'expected' value based on previous uses of the battery after being monitored by software for a period of time. If the calibrated values become inaccurate the battery gauge will also be inaccurate. A full discharge will recalibrate the software gauge, often resulting in more accurate battery-level readings. This in no way affects the battery at all. All that happens is the software is more accurate at reporting the estimate charge remaining. You will get no more performance from your batter by doing a full charge even if it appears to be so (actually, by doing a full discharge, you have reduced the lifespan of your battery by a tiny amount). Apple actually recommends infrequent full discharges. My guess is that they see this as a trade off; they know they are reducing the battery life by some tiny amount, but also receive far fewer customer support complaints due to poorly calibrated battery gauges being perceived as faulty devices.

* For the purposes of this guide a 'full discharge' is defined as reaching around 5-10%. For Li-ion batteries a 'full discharge' is not truly a complete discharge. Li-ion batteries have a cutoff within the battery to prevent complete discharge. If a Li-ion battery is completely discharged it can not be recharged. So when your device containing a Li-ion battery reports the battery is empty this is the cutoff coming into play and preventing permanent damage to the battery.

TL;DR

DO: Charge frequently. Small, frequent charges are best. Charge your battery first if you are going to leave it unplugged for an extended period. Charge your battery in a cool spot.

DO NOT: Let your battery get hot. Fully discharge your battery. Let your battery sit at low charge for extended periods. Believe the lie that full discharges improve battery lifespan.

just throw away..use back iphone

Guys wanna ask is there a way to bypass the miui browser. Right now when I click Google maps link or YouTube link it loads into miui browser.  Any help?

I see in app manager can uninstall the browser. Is it safe to do so? Will I still be able to recover it if I do factory reset?

I'm running stable rom v23. How do I downgrade to v14.? Can I use the updater app?

What's the point ?? I didn't nor did I have any problem.

You can just leave it as that way after the update. Use it for a while. If everything ok, then good. If got problem, then do a full wipe. That's how i did last week. First I thought it's ok after I updated. But after 2 times of freezing, i decided to do a full wipe. Until now. So far so good.

normally in android world, downgrade you should wipe data and clear cache, else the google apps will crash.

clear cache will do.

What the difference between the china set xiaomi with the version they sell Xiaomi Malaysia? other than the warranty?

Guys, a question here regarding Xiaomi powerbank 10400mah. I've been charging my new powerbank for almost 1 hour using my laptop. But it still stuck at second level. Is it normal or my powerbank is faulty?

It's an original Xiaomi powerbank which i got from flash sales. If its faulty, throw away dy zzz

Today I dropped my Mi3 from car roof height and it survived. One really bad chip at the back top left, and some smaller chips here and there on the back cover. Really not bad...

On a sidenote, my bro's wife dropped hers and didnt fare well. Shattered screen...

Ok i got a wierd MI Powerbank question.

I remembering seeing somewhere (cannot remember) that you can charge the powerbank and also power up your phone. Any danger in this like overheating?

Also i got this crazy idea of using one powerbank to charge up another powerbank.

Basically daisy chain the power bank. First unit gets power from adapter then plug the output of the first unit to the input of the second unit.

I tried it and seems to work but worry if got any damage long term charging in this way.

Tak tahu translate coz cannot fully read all words. Asked ppl to translate for me and I google translate some of them to make sense also.

The rough (not sure correct or not) bottom line is

CCTV China has conducted adhoc test on over 224 powerbanks in China, 9 failed battery weight impact test (whatever that is) with high risk of explosion upon short-circuit, 6 exploded, 20 units (not sure what is it), 17 units with overstated capacity. 53.1% of pb were not qualified.

In short, brands including Xiaomi 5200 mah pb has shown abt 50% to 75% of actual capacity. 10K pb not tested.

If they don't list in report, it make sense it is not tested....same thing lar..

The REPORT is by CCTV and is in today's Chinese newspaper. Don't know which one tho coz I was alerted to it by a colleague after he read abt it in newspaper.

urm, just wondering any fellow mi3 owners having problem with sound? both on sound recorder as well as video recorder. you hear alot of voice during replay.

Is it true that the Xiaomi Mi:3 is very slower in battery charging ? My friend said it takes a much longer time compared to Samsung S3, any truth ?

No need to give me that foul sign la.

Does it mean the 2.1A charger will be twice faster than 1A ? How much and where to buy ?
