using usb to laptop.. no i dont use it for anything.. it's the same even wifi turned off.
anyway, should i get the 30O incremental update? so that maybe later i can wait for the next update.?

yeap, i came to know that from XDA forum. Some of them still mentioned there are still Battery Drain even on Standby mode. So i decide to wait for the fix.

i guess i should be happy i don't have the OTA yet.

Good Morning Guys/ Gals..

I have reverted back to Ver25R, the Battery Drain Issue is unbearable. Since yesterday morning 8.00am (unplugged), put standby till evening around 4pm (with whatsapps and sms with mild usage) the Battery down ti 37% and by the time i reached home it left abt 10%.

Wait for the fix from CM.

Back to awesome battery life then?
Btw, if revert back to stock ver25, does it get your bootloader locked?

ultraportable

I want! Where are you located?

I've been using Mi 3 for nearly 2 months and since you're asking me, yes, I think its better than OPO. i mean, its pretty easy to get a photo to look good with Mi 3. i cant say the same for OPO.

anyways, both OPO and Mi 3 camera does provide pretty extensive manual settings in the camera. It is especially useful if you have an experience handling a DSLR, which if that's case, you'll love all these manual settings. like i do.

Ok, both got slow exposure, but Mi 3 range is even wider, you can control from 1/5000s    to 2 secs max, while OPO, only slow exposure, ranging from 1 sec to 8 secs max (which is much slower than Mi 3 2 secs, which is good). so each got their own advantage, like with Mi 3 u can specifically set high shutter speed even for dark environments, in order to capture certain subject..

P/S: all photos below have been resized for easy upload. original size: 10mp (wide). new size: 2mp

I forced high shutter speed in this photo to darken the areas which is not of my highlight.

Only problems here are the windows not very clean.

HDR on, on a cloudless day.

All white, alright. on HDR.

I slowed the shutter speed a lil, with ISO at 100. and pan. notice the van is sharp, background blurred.

HDR ON only. no other settings allowed in HDR. so everything else is default.

Mi 3 got manual focus (for photo mode only), but OPO doesn't.

OPO have 4k video, and slow mo video at 1080p (720p) and 720p (120fps). Mi 3 only 1080p n no slow mo.

ISO on Mi 3 is wider range from 100 to 3200, while OPO from 100 to 1600 only (but this can be compensated with slower shutter speed).

There are more things I'd like to highlight for Mi 3 camera but I don't have the phone anymore. and i forgot the details. all of the above are those I can recall. Below were the only screenshot I have of the camera settings.

Exactly. When I got Mi 3, it was the first time I knew that there are phones that have so many manual settings that usually only DSLR can offer. So when I wanna change to OPO, I already set my mind to low my expectation in the camera department. Then I discovered slow exposure is at least available and I'm relieved but to my dismay, I can't set the shutter speed to my heart's desire (which Mi 3 offers).
You're right. I'm still figuring out what settings is best just to match what Mi 3 can offer me last time.
that's what I think too.
So you haven't actually used the phone for a while? and what does the UI have to do with the camera photo quality?

look, i hate its UI as much as you do, especially since it's mimicking iOS with the no app drawer thing. and the fact i couldn't install any other ROMs on it is why I'm with OPO now. but if we're talking about camera, let's simply discuss it without prejudice would be best i think. 

my friend just send me a link to groupon, they selling OPO also, rrp rm2k yo!

Right on. It's one of the nicest theme out there that I always go back to. How's Find7? Not sure if the 3GB app storage limit is a bother to you or not.

unfortunately, i don't think there's an equivalent of GCC for OnePlus. not sure if it will work too... but i'm suspecting your USB port isn't giving out a lot of juice/ power. hence, the slow charging. cable and USB port plays a role as well.

on my laptop, if i don't adjust the cable properly, i may get about 200mAh... if adjusted properly, i can get like 400mAh. this is on my Note 2. but it should be the same with other phones. basically, need to make sure you got a good USB port + good cable.

i recently found out that best USB cable for charging should have rating of 28AWG/24AWG. unfortunately, i still have not found a way to tell if a cable is rated that way...

i find it kinda weird there are certain theme or icon packs when i apply but it doesnt change the camera icon. it remain that blue rectangular camera. anyone else having the same prob? it just the stock camera icon.
