The Xiaomi Global vice president Hugo already mentioned that it will be a OTA release. Also, I checked the miui forum just now, v23 is not available in their download section. The miui mod also don't say anything about it. In short, there's no full version 23 firmware available at this moment.

591mb? Then congrat bro, you got special case.

Anyway, I also got same update page like yours, but it didn't state how many mb. I went ahead to update just now. Found out it's only a small file. Update successfully after 1 min. The only difference is I didn't download the last night version one. But you did. Perhaps that's the reason why yours show different info to this current update?

May be you can download it and see what happened?

No worry. The drop call issue already fixed since v22. And yes. I am maxis user and I can verify that.

May be your mi cloud is still on? Check the setting and turn it off.

Then it's kind of spooky. Micloud should not pop up any notification unless it's turned on. I must say this problem is unique.

Yes. The latest stable rom for China rom is v23. The latest stable rom for Malaysia (Global rom) is also v23. But it can only be updated via OTA.

Not sure about it, but I did heard the most China brand phones have the similar problem.

I am not an expert for this kind of stuff. But if it's Mi3's fault, then it should have been blown up as well along with the charger and extension.

Now the situation is HTC charger is blown up, extension is kaput, Mi3 is fine, your computer is fine.

Something happened between the extension and the HTC charger. Hard to say what was the exact cause. And when they blown up, Mi3 somehow managed to survive from the accident (due to its protection system I guess?). PC also survived because it was not caused by the PC itself. So it was shut down since the electic current was cut.

From this case, may be we should say that MI3 was designed very well on its protection when it comes to charging.

Ah yes, your explanation sounds more logic. Sorry for my silly explanation earlier.

Nothing can do. Just take it as a lesson and don't simply buy stuff without doing research in advance. That's how I dealt with it when I bought a fake piston.

From the garage forum. Anyway, it's an old story. Not worth to mention it.

No worry. I already talked to the seller personally and he already pulled off the sales.

Why not just update straight to the v23? The full rom of V23 is available now in miui forum.

Check the screen protector. It's blocking the phone proximity sensor.

It depends on all those 3 factors:

How many phone you bought?
How many accessories you bought?
How many days you have been registered to Xiaomi malaysia site?

Once you fulfilled all those 3 criterias, then you are eligible to maximum 25 ringgit (I guess) coupon and you have a chance to win a Mi4. Also, you will get a title. Mine one is Mi Star.

Here's the thread in miui site.

The rm25 coupon can only be used on phone purchase, while rm10 and rm5 coupon are for accesorries.

That means I claimed Rm25 for nothing, since I don't plan buy a new phone now. Oh well...

It's unknown yet for Malaysian Xiaomi fans. But if you must know now. it should be around RM50-55, based on the price tag they put in Singapore site.

May be the update changed your default setting?

settings - apps - change default app settings

Either way. You can either update to v22 by flashing the full rom, then update again to v23 via OTA, or, you can just skip v22 and go straight to v23 since the full rom of v23 is available now in miui forum.

Normally people would always prefer to skip all the old version and go straight to the latest version, unless, you want to find out what's the difference between v22 and v23.

There's no significant evidence to prove that updating from v14 straight to the v23 would be much stable than from v22 to v23. Stable or not stable, most likely, it's all depend on your phone and a little bit of luck.

Your phone will detect OTA of v23 once you updated to v22.

See this.

That msg which keep pop up to ask you to upgrade, that's OTA.

OTA = Over The Air
