Flyme OS isn't as good as what I initially thought..
First, it isn't optimized enough which caused battery consumption & heat issues. 2ndly, the UI. Some of English words aren't translated properly and some of the English settings in menu, if the words are too long it'll be replaced with ".." and numbers & letters are merged together like "4fingerprints".

Although the 2nd issue i mentioned doesn't seem like a serious one but if they want to be well received outside of China especially by English language users, they need to address this issue.

Which one did u buy? The one that's with front cover or back casing only?
For tempered glass I'd personally choose the one from nilkin as well. They got only one type i think.

One question though: Is there a way to lock the screen without pressing the power button or waiting it to timeout?
*
I use the home button.

Btw, u can just swipe down two times to reveal all the toggles without using the top corner thingy.

Last night I got in touch with Meizu MY regarding issues such as, ussd code, battery drains & phone heating. Below was their reply about the latter.

QUOTE
Hi Adam, yes opening system privilges is rooting, after rooting, warranty is voided. Adam, we have already tested it and using it. recent heating can be caused by the new implementation of the 4g/lte in new areas by telco which cause 3g and 4g to switch on and off, right now this is one of the major reasons. for the rest, running 8 cores on aluminium will have a little heat, is completely normal. those who complain, they are not used to it, u can try other phones including iphone.. it will still give of heat, . if u really feel that the phone indeed is really  super hot, u can come to our service center or send it to us. we will test it for you

not all usb cable can support data transfer and USB interface with PC.. especially cheap ones e.g (Daiso cables). Can only be used for charging, even so its quite slow. The best is use original cable for data transfer & charging.

after using the MXPro for a week, i feel that battery lifetime isnt that really good... anyone have the same opinion?
*
Yeah. Battery life is very² dissapointing. Even in power saving mode it makes no difference.

QUOTE(leroy87 @ Feb 25 2015, 03:37 PM)
any reply for USSD code? it seems that most chinese phones have the USSD error . they are only made for china USSD or something as ive read from some forums. Meizu must really have a proper update for International users man. Im running mostly on 3G "priorit" but still drains quite fast. I can only imagine if you have 4G connected most of the time.
*
Regarding ussd code, they said "Yes we noted this, we will let hq know. will fix"

QUOTE(leroy87 @ Feb 25 2015, 06:05 PM)
i really hope they fix the issues in the March update. The MX4 / Pro has such good hardware and specs but very poor software management and OS. I hope they can make a difference.
*
I agree 100%. I love the hardware. It's the software that undone this phone. Really hope flyme 5.0 will be miles better than current one.

i feel this statement from them is damn cheebye. why need to compare against iphone? i would have accept the statement more if they said they know of the problem and Meizu has been informed for bug fixes in the March update.
*
Ya lor.. They're really shameless comparing their phone with the likes of iphone.

Is it true that we can root this phone directly within settings? (with flyme account registered)

However by doing this will void warranty?
*
Yeah. As per their reply, opening ur "system privileges" aka rooting under accounts> personal settings will void ur warranty.

Anyway, in meizufans website, one guy reports that after rooting his Pro, install xposed and a module called amplify, the battery afterwards was like "night and day", before was losing 10% per hour, after is 3%.

Yeah.. I was mislead by supposedly good review from the likes of mobilegeeks, android authority & anandtech. Should have waited for local reviews.

Thinking about letting this phone go aswell.

isit just the battery sucky or the device itself  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

The problem is with its software namely the flyme os. It got bad management. I bet if this phone runs on say, cyanogenmod, it will most probably optimise this phone's hardware better than its native os.

can they detect if you root it then u reset back to original ROM? SOT average usage can get about 4 hours 45mins (battery now at 4%). this also i charge about half an hour before dinner. If can get 5 hours + in a single charge is consider good d lor.
*
Usually when a phone is rooted, the status will be permanent even if u unroot it back or flash ori rom.

really so bad ? haha

The upcoming lollipop update for flyme is something to look forward to that hopefully may fix all those issues. I was originally planning to keep this phone until that update arrives but today I found some flaw on the hardware. The volume rocker on mine is unbalanced, it is slanted to the vol+. That's the last straw that I couldn't tolerate no more. I admit, I'm very picky. Haha.
