I'm using global + freezing those miui apps = same thing Global can set that as well btw

may i know which apps that is safe to freeze? using titanium right?

Most of them are system apps so you'll need titanium back up pro to freeze it

or, you can just use my script as it is a "free" way to do it

Download Automate from play store then follow the youtube video below

Use this. Is FREE.
Disable Application [Root]

In case you are curious which to freeze, here some idea for you, I freeze these on my MiPad.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=76696982

Here are the list of apps that I've frozen:
Analytics
Android Live Wallpaper
ANT Hal Service
Basic Daydreams
Calendar (MIUI Calendar, because I'm using Google calendar )
FM Radio
Galley
Live Wallpaper Picker
Mail MIUI_V7_EMAIL_*
Market Feedback Agent
Mi VIP
Notes
Print Spooler
Radio
Report Bug
Themes
Video Player
Weather
Xiaomi Assitant (not typo)
Yellow Pages (this feature only available at China)

Performance improved a lot when I disabled those apps, free ram is around 800mb-1gb on stock when you clear cache, and the most important thing is that doesn't lag like hell most of the time when the device heats up(which is considered a major pro compared to before freezing those apps )

If you're not using the MIUI launcher, you can disable com.miui.wallpaper also because the wallpaper will be handled by your new launcher

Hi. i am thinking to purchase mi4i. thinking to use it for taking picture and video recording when i travel oversea.
I search online many saying the phone gets hot. can reach 50 Celsius.
Can i know is it true? What is the way to solve the heat issue?

Thank you

out of sudden, my phone got problem charging. tested with a few different usb cable and chargers but no luck. however, i noticed that after reboot, charging is okay, and the problem will come if i disconnect and reconnect the usb cable. even if i connect to pc, my phone is not detected. tried on fastboot mode, working just fine. haih.

Is this normal?

why are you not running anything what is inside the other?

That y i ask...i using fb, WhatsApp, telegram, wechat, Instagram, browser....

Inside the other also nothing.

not sure can't comment because I'm not using the same modified rom as yours anyway, you can use betterbatterystats instead to track your usage

Guys, currently using Nilkin Frost shield case.
It's good, but it doesn't protect the top and the bottom.

Is there any good case that protects every corner of the phone?

search at taobao

I read it at MI Malaysia facebook that many people were facing this issue after they updated their miui. The only solution is to restart the phone. Check their Facebook page out.

Anybody know how much does it cost to replace the battery cover?

i've already sent it to the service center this morning. turns out the "sub board" (idk what this is) is faulty. they got no stock so need to wait from 2 - 4 weeks for that.

My personal experience with Mi4i, It does have a medicore camera. with lack of IOS, u might wanna use a tripod to take pictures. However, its HHT and manual camera (pre and post processing) does help alot. I d suggest getting another camera phone, like Samsung's Note series, LG G series or Sony Z series. Or maybe Mi note?

In regards to over heating.. there has been alot of talks about it, mostly from warm climate countries. My Mi4i is still at 6.5.3 (one of the few version that does not have major heating issues), and i do not notice the heating issue. But maybe its because i work in a controlled environment of 16 Celsius and 20% humidity.

Also since u did mention travelling overseas, Mi4i have a good battery life so you should do fine. But if you do get another phone, try to get one with a good battery capacity.

Feel free to ask anything if u need more clarification.

I recently made up my mind to go for Mi4i then I noticed wayyyy too many posts in Garage Sales selling away their Mi4i.
I mean, most of the sellers have only used it for a pretty short time, a lot of them put down "upgrade", or "wanna try other phone" as reason.

It got me scared a little. Are there hidden problems with this phone that tend to appear after certain usage?
Does it lag a lot after some times?
