I want to ask is there a manual included in the mi3 box? I already bought one but it haven't ship. Buying for my mother who still using the old nokia feature phone

It is a manual included...On physical button intro & SIM card installation only.

anyone having problems in buying "paid" themes? always server unavailable even tho my micloud account is connected properly.

got simple literature ,but mostly u need to teach her urself,im sure it will took some time(as i did to my parent)

1. Is there any further manual which can be downloaded?
2. I want to maximise battery life on the phone, which settings should I tweak?
3. Do I need to disable glove mode?
4. Do I need to use Number Fixer if I want to install Whatsapp and line?
5. Do I need to fix the security issue for whatsapp and line?

Thanks

Great. I am not in Malaysia at the moment. Will only be back next jan-feb Only my sister in Malaysia. And she just came into the world of Android less than 1 month ago.

1. i dont think miui need anything beyond what already in the box,just tell her to buy a beginner guide/pdf for android user,so better,install simple launcher to her phone and let her play with it
2. just use it as it is,no tweaking for mi3,it already have great battery,if u curious ,there are performance,balanced,battery saving mode,just keep it default
3. yes
4. in my case,no actually,but alot of ppl having problem with that,mine works just fine
5. what issue? ur mom use it right?how secure u want?

What happened last time you tried to eject it?
I used nanosim adapter and had no problems with ejecting/inserting it back, or maybe I'm just the lucky one.

2. Which can can stretch the juice out of the battery?
5. Something about whatsapp not displaying pics. Is it only for whatsapp or line as well?

I see, so better not to use sim adapter. Maybe that's why xiaomi stopped including it in MI3.

It will break the pins only if you insert the adapter without a sim and then try to remove the adapter.

since im using sim adapter..now i afraid to push it out

The small seam between the actual SIM and the adapter pulled the SIM pin out.

There is nothing wrong with using a Sim adapter. Only don't put in an empty Sim adapter without the Sim card in it. Xiaomi used to ship with both a mini and micro Sim tray. Dont know why now they dont? There is also a nano mi3 Sim tray available. Buy at Taobao

As long as your sim adaptor got no gap/hole....should be fine. 1 pulled out my sim few times without issue.

pulling out the sim is totally smooth. done it many times, as i reused back the cut out sim frame of the micro sim,. so it fit perfectly

2. battery saving mode,but that is laggy and defeat the purpose of own a snapdragon 800 device
5. errr,my whatapps work(display pic) from v14,v18 and dev roms, mi3 shipped with v14,so,as long as u dont update it to v22,23,should be allright,just wait they solve it

I just flashed miui_MI3WGlobal_KXDMIBF23.0_69adb845f8_4.4 but the MIUI version shown is KXDCNBF23.0. I thought they should be tally with each other, no?

Me too, just realised few days ago. Received pre sales ordered mi3 yesterday confirmed no micro sim tray.

need to find any friend with un-used card tray ..
