Can this phone use apps like "screen filter"? I tested on Hongmi Note it can run the app but as soon as I leave the filter screen the effect is gone.

I need this app badly for low light reading. Having a bright screen in dark environment wont do any good for my eyes

NEVER refer to the ETD, it normally send a lot earlier. I think you will see the status change to "on Fedex vehicle for delivery" latest on Monday

I believe 1s has a better camera. I am a Note user myself, now sold and change to 1s because the size does matter icon_idea.gif

I don't like to operate my phone with 2 hands, and I like Snapdragon CPU compare to Mediatek

This is a really good phone. Such a waste Xiaomi only put 1GB ram on it. The battery charger just awesome, no more power-bank or wall charging, means can play with the phone all day long. Needless to say the perfect size and superb camera.

The biggest issue for this phone is the ram management, it cause random crash on game like Dead Trigger 2, Fifa 14, Asphalt 8, Summoners War and maybe more, its so so annoying.

Any solution to solve this (not clean master etc, it wont help)? Sick of waiting solution from Xiaomi really.

I am running between Browser, Facebook and Messenger. It's crazy when I can't reply messages on both Facebook and Messenger. It forces me to shut down the Messenger app while I just started to text and I can't reply directly on Facebook too (it opens up the Messenger apps again and close and again...). End up I have to close my browser (which I have an article that's being read, it disappears after the apps restart).

Even when I am running Kuwo for music then opens up browser, the music player got shut down. This really annoys me, any solution to this?

Just "add" ram like I did from 1gb to 2gb will do. You just need a class 10 SD card and its easy like abc. The best part is its free if you know how thumbup.gif

You can see my ram now is 1874MB biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Add ram? Android is something like Linux OS , I believe that is called "swap" . Means when RAM is running out of space, it will start using "swap"(the SD card storage).  You have to define what is the "swap" size.

thats why I put " " in add there tongue.gif

Just finished hardcore test lol. I think that's it, scare will spoil the phone and mmc. I am using 8GB mmc for the swap only.

Best result as below, I open Kuwo + TTpod + Build in music player + huge size Racing game at the same time, its running smooth without lag. But when I try put in another music player, the game crash before race start yawn.gif yawn.gif

I don't follow, if you are afraid of degrading the mmc why did you use the 8Gb mmc for the swap?

8 GB MMC = less cost if anything happen to the mmc tongue.gif

There is no such thing as adding ram. What he is doing is adding swap space on an Android which is similar to configuring the paging file settings on Windows.

And its no big secret on how to do it. Theres a guide on the official website:
[Tools, Tips & Tutorials] [HowTo] Expand your RAM using SWAP partition on SD card
*
Nobody say it was a secret sweat.gif sweat.gif . Yes I notice the tutorial above but I found it a bit complicated for a beginner Android user like me. Below is what I did in "easier" way. Source : shared by my expert friend

I am not responsible in any way for damaging your device. Although this is fully tested method do it at your own risk.

Step 1) Root your 1s and buy a class 10 memory card. I am using 8GB for the swap because I feel +1GB memory is more than enough for my usage.

Step 2) Download Roehsoft Ram Expander, it cost RM 15 in Playstore, pay or download the xxxx version from this website : http://9androidapps.com/, your choice.

Step 3) Install and open the software, first adjust the SWPFILE value to the memory size you would like to "add", you can see my value is set to 1000MB because I think it is good enough for my phone. Max you could go is 4000MB. Next set the SWAPPINESS value between 40 - 99. The higher the value the faster the Swap process, hence more chance to damage your sd card sweat.gif . I am using 70 here, so far so good.

Step 4) Take a look at the RAM FREE value, it shown your current ram information. Finally touch the SWAP ACTIV at the top, wait for it to process. You're done , now refer to the bottom TOTAL FREE value and see your phone fly thumbup.gif

The software also come with a widget that display memory infor. Just go to your widget screen and drag it out to the home screen.

This is not a full solution for our phone ram issue, still hope Xiaomi could rectify it soonest possible. Thanks for reading.

Are you using an 8Gb sd card or the 8Gb internal storage for swap?
