Was wondering if this phone is ok for its price? Or should I wait for a newer model? My Mi3 screen died for the second time so I'd rather get a new phone than repairing it yet again :/

Although the spec sounds tempting, screen from LG , camera from Sony or Samsung. If not mistaken.

But if looked carefully under the poster. There is little unemphasised remark where Xiaomi has the right to use components that have the "similar" performance from other sources, which is kinda a drawback.

Camera from Mi4C is the only thing that has two suppliers. Either IMX RS from Sony or ISOCELL from Samsung.

Not sure which is better, but Sony IMX258 in the Mi4C is one of the latest implementation by Sony IMX RS line ups.

I thought Galaxy S5 has one of the best camera around?

And of course, Sony sensors are better known and widely used.
Just not sure how good is IMX 258..since it's the newest addition.

5.0.2 has heavy memory leak issue. i am quite happy with the camera actually, just that if u go custom rom, u will always sacrifice on the camera perspective and some small features. for nexus 6 le, you need hdr+, else the pictures are just decent.

MIUI 7 is real bad.

well seems too horrible for current MIUI .. sweat.gif

i might recommend [flash-holics] do a flashing on CM 12.1S rom / find Carbon Rom for that..

i watch from zealer's S5 review and they compared Z2 by the night mode for S5 really terrify.. doh.gif

Something seems odd with my battery. I don't remember it used to take about 4 hours to charge to full from 25%.

Is this normal? Otherwise I'll be sending it down to the service centre (again) - which I am trying to avoid. Cheers.

actually is normal. one of the solution is use custom rom with sensei kernel. overall, i would say the phone has a great combination of spec, just the optimization is a b****. i want to hold a petition to hugo barra's house d

i second that. ISOCELL sensor is like the crappy sensor of S6 that makes night photo horrible. If anyone is buying an S6, pray to get the Sony sensor instead which does not produce a pink tiny at night photos.

Am using u mobile single sim. Works fine.
Mi4i supports LTE but u mobile will only allow LTE after activation via SMS. Could it be your phone is trying to connect to u mobile LTE but Umbilical is rejecting it because you have not activate LTE

suggest you flash to MIUI 7 beta or latest stable rom, then clean format before start using, http://en.miui.com/forum-80-1.html

I am using on MIUI 7 beta, but not as primary phone, not sure if Mi fixed the thermal design on latest batch or not

Hi,anybody experienced warm while charging the phone.Then a funny thing happened, after a full charge,Antutu benchmark refused to run,saying d device is hot.5mins later, d Antutu ran.First time came across, after using so many phones.Maybe its me,but the phone built too compact, d components little room to breathe.

I got a Mi4i from a lucky draw, testing on OTG & MHL functions. The OTG function works well on pendrive/ card reader but can't support portable hardisk (500GB/ 1TB).

Instead of watching movie on a 5" screen, I want to output it to a hotel LED-TV when I travel outstation. I've bought a MHL kit from Lazada (http://www.lazada.com.my/mhl-kit-with-micro-5-pin-micro-11-pin-usb-mhl-to-hdmi-for-samsung-htc-xiaomi-white-877200.html). I was dissapointed that Mi4i doesn't output the screen to LED-TV with HDMI/ USB port even after I've rebooted the phone. The screen just showed "No signal".

There are users asking about MHL function of Mi4i on xda & en.miui.com forum but no definite answers whether mi4i can or cannot support MHL.

I'm not sure whether the problems come from the China-made MHL KIT, or mi4i no native MHL support. Anybody has experienced this before? Mind to share?

Yes, I'm using a Y-cable - USB end connects to powerbank with 2A output. and the hardisk LED is blinking. Perhaps I have to wait for more than 20 seconds for the phone to detect it???

Just check my HDD, it's really formatted as NTFS. Let me check again... thanks.

Opps, it doesn't work probably because my device is not rooted yet. I have not rooted a device since some time ago. The first rooted device was my first android phone running on Gingerbread.

Why SatuGadget sell the mobile can customise the capacity? I thought the highest a mi4i will go is 32GB, how come they can offer up to 64GB?

Are they opening up the phone to tamper with warranty?

FireVoucher have to wait them to post on Lazada Facebook from time to time randomly. So you have to wait right timing to do so. So be sure to bookmark their Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/LazadaMalaysia/
Those Voucher code looks like these: click here for sample

Also, download their Lazada Apps too. Lazada Official Apps @ PlayStore because sometime they pop up those FireVoucher from Apps too..

As for 6% CashBack I can't post here, some ignorant will report my posts because it was a referral link, that website just register and you follow the step by steps to purchase and you will get back your cashback after 30days if I'm not mistaken... I send you a PM check there..

For stock android experience, closest to it is mokee, but recently quite buggy at times.
Try resurrection remix, custom based on cm. Really good and loving so far. overall a phone wise, it is just not too bad over bad. need a normal performing phone vs price. i think is ok.

CM12 ma. long history of RR with CM12. After so long, sensors are all working perfectly.

got my mi4i a week ago 32gb version (24.xxgb actually). bought from xiaomi website. so far:

1 - camera really nice. much better than redmi note 4g i use to have.
2 - rough comparison, redmi note 4g much much better performance. less lag than mi4i which is weird.
3 - seems like overheat zzzz
4 - not so smooth i wonder why, it should be better than redmi note 4g

gonna try miui 7 later. its in xiaomi website already (developer build i think) or maybe i should try other rom?

Hardware problem caused by software update . Need to bring to sc to replace.

M4i is really one crappy product , not even a week already faulty and due to their own os update.

i found that the stock miui7, the minimum cpu frequency is 960mhz.
if i flash to RR Remix, does the kernel itself, cpu frequency lower than 960mhz ?

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 laugh.gif

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.

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 laugh.gif )
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 sweat.gif )

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

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?

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.

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?

I'm currently on MIUI 6.7.2, i can say it's stable enough for me.

It does feel sluggish at times.
Animation is sluggish at times. Launching apps sometimes take its own sweet time.

I'm coming from Snapdragon 801 before, and I could live with this phone laugh.gif

Alot did complaint of heating and/or battery drain issues after updating. I think xiaomi kinda messed up the updates. I never ran any updates hence mind is the stock MIUI 6.5.3 version which has one of the best battery life and less heating issue.
The phone can be laggy/hot if one stresses it out with high processing stuff.

to me this phone is a budget phone with slim body and fantastic screen. The specs are "just enough" to do basic photo and video viewing/you tubing. Camera hardware is medicore which i feel should have been improved.

For RM749, i never did regret purchasing my Mi4i. But i cannot say for others.
If i had RM1k budget for a phone i definitely recommend this phone.

Any news about when MIUI7 will be available for mi4i?
I'm new to Android and just got my new mi4i recently, but have not started using it (lazy to explore and migrate from my BB yet), was wondering shall I wait for the MIUI7 update first then only migrate my things or it doesn't matter?

So far after move to MIUI7, mi4i is getting better...

no more heating up issue....lagging is once a while...due to memory leak issue from lollipop maybe? or miui ram management itself?

before this i need to reboot everyday, if not sure lag like nobody biz...now no more reboot, if facing lag just clear the memory then will be ok back

Any news about when MIUI7 will be available for mi4i?
I'm new to Android and just got my new mi4i recently, but have not started using it (lazy to explore and migrate from my BB yet), was wondering shall I wait for the MIUI7 update first then only migrate my things or it doesn't matter?

it doesn't matter, upgrade is okay, downgrade then that would be an issue

So far after move to MIUI7, mi4i is getting better...

no more heating up issue....lagging is once a while...due to memory leak issue from lollipop maybe? or miui ram management itself?

before this i need to reboot everyday, if not sure lag like nobody biz...now no more reboot, if facing lag just clear the memory then will be ok back

ohh tot ur already on miui7 official update. is on verge of giving up on my mi4i. the frequent lag & unresponsiveness is getting on my nerves. giving it one last chance with waiting for miui7 update. if that doesnt help redmi note 2 do sound tempting.

Anyway, the performance of this phone is seriously a lot better if you root and freeze the miui apps, did it and the phone don't overheat for normal social usage and even if the top gets hot the phone is still smooth

ya lorrr.if got for 300 definitely wouldnt complain much. guess my so called "upgrade" from mi3 to mi4i wasnt much of an upgrade after all. on another note managed to get miui7 "stable" working. guess if update thru recovery rom have to clear cache & user data also. thats a waste of effort to install all my apps back. should have waited for OTA but couldnt stand the lag of the dev rom.

latest miui7 seems to address the heating prob. imo however i still think redmi note 2 is the better option. considering to upgrade myself. mi4i on stock is still too laggy for my liking.

You're on MIUI 7 ?
I got read somewhere in MIUI forums saying charging takes super long.
Can confirm?

The diff is at processor. One uses mediatek, while another use snapdragon. Mediatek is cheaper.

I find were u, I will go for mi4i. I heard mediatek gets overheat easily.

if ur using/have used mi4i's snapdragon 615 before thats not the case imo. cant comment on redmi note 2's mediatek helio x10 performance/overheating issues. but mi4i definitely got overheating issues esp. on previous roms. more or less adressed on latest miui7 rom but its still there.

For the price, 2GB of RAM is still viable for today's market standard.
There is other phones with higher price tag but offers similar/lower tier specs.
Huawei P8 lite for example. 2GB RAM, average 720p display with less capable cameras..

No lag issue for me.
I'm a light to medium user.
Social medias, spotify, youtube, movies and no heavy games.

Mi4C is really bang for buck. Snapdragon 808 drool.gif

Not really sure...
But to my knowledge, either DirectD or the same forumer that you mentioned earlier.
I wanna buy, but quite skeptical regarding warranty.

Hopefully Mi will bring it here to our shore

DON'T BUY THIS LAGGY PHONE!!

This lousy phone is damn lag. Is not the specs problem. The main culprit is the MIUI

This China company trying to copy iPhone interface which is against Google Android implementation and resulted in huge disappointed lag.

I do not play games, installed only 25 common apps on phone but yet still lag like hell.

Wasted RM900 to buy this phone during the 11 Nov event promotion.

Hmm what is the fuss is all about? Seems like a serious issue.
I'm perfectly fine on 6.7.2 smile.gif

Snapdragon 615 is underpowered and not being well optimized by Qualcomm itself.
My friend's Galaxy A7 with 615 also feels sluggish and heavy.

If you blame MIUI, you should try it on other Mi devices like Mi3 / Mi4 / Mi Note
Flying buttery smooth

V2 bass is way too much and actually making a great loss in clarity especially in mid-high.
V3 bass is deep too, with more powerful punch yet keeping everything in check.
The driver in V3 is more capable and the damping system works as advertised.

Sometimes it does lag, but very rarely. And many developers have stopped doing work on CM12 because they are busy with CM13. It's not perfect, but it's smooth and buttery, most of the time. Well, it fares better than MIUI, for sure. I'm not going back to that bloated ROM ever again. So yeah.

I can't seem to find any.
I'm looking for the actual back cover that covers the inner chassis and parts (motherboard, battery, etc)
the one that you hold when using the phone naked without any aftermarket/3rd party casing.

If the normal phone casing, i wouldn't ask here laugh.gif

Ha ha finally to be let go my iPhone 5s, due to the reason for dual SIM card, and bigger screen with lighter for my used mi4i now.

The phone not too performance but still recent, lesser issue like lag or hang, that is fine for now, so far so good.

Battery life still consider quite ok.

The rest no comment, just the design of volume and switch button too close already, something might be accidently press on volume button LOL

But still hope can be more powerful like mi4c but make sure have officially launch in m'sia or SG market.

It is not recommended to flash using normal recovery method since you're about to downgrading from MIUI 7 to MIUI 6.

Download MIUI 6.7.2 fastboot ROM from MIUI forum and flash it through fastboot method.
You need to find fastboot rom for 6.7.2

I can't seem to find fastboot rom for 6.7.2 because they already updated file to the latest 7.0.3 MIUI 7 fastboot ROM in the download section.

FASTBOOT METHOD
Mi4i fastboot flash guide

Or you might as well give MIUI 7 global stable ROM (version 7.0.3) a try and see if its any smoother than your current ROM.

I need some advice on LCD replacement. Where do I go to to get my screen replaced. Any recommendations? Or should I just go to MI service center?

i found the reason for lag usually during keyboard entry
uninstallling swiftkey makes the experience much better, even if you dont use it.

Mine 6.7.2
Navigate with Google Maps and spotify on the background.

It is warm but not overheating considering that Google Map and Spotify is quite heavy if running at the same time.
and yeah.. my phone is under my car's A pillar shade and barely gets direct sunlight while navigate.

My phone only heats up quickly if using while charging.

can you enter recovery mode? (Turn device off, press and hold power on + volume up till Mi appears)
if you can, try enter system 2 instead of 1.

If your phone still can't boot, try enter fastboot mode (Press and hold power on + volume down),
If you able to enter, you can reflash new firmware with fastboot method. Your data will be erased.

Follow this steps : http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

I reflashed a new firmware using fastboot method. Everything went smooth however the phone is kind of laggy and, whenever the phone is lag, it will automatically restart..

and, I didn't use the phone, it still automatically restart. ughh

Time to get a new phone, I assume ? cry.gif cry.gif

Hi Guys,

needing help pls. I'm needing the SIM Tray for the Mi4i but the service centre don't allow replacement if its not the same colour with the phone. My phone is white but they only have black & grey. White no stock.
don't mind diff colour but they don't allow.

Is there anyone nearby to Amcorp / Lowyat service centre which can help pls. Your phone must be purchased from Xiaomi Malaysia & you can just walk in to get a SIM Tray replacement (lets say your's is lost).
It only cost RM 15, I will pay another RM 50 extra if anyone can help pls.

if possible try boot to recovery make a factory reset. i would say if you dont mind going into modding, is still a not too bad phone. the camera is considering pretty good with f2.0 compare to ifon f2.2.

how about mi4i vs a7000 plus, camera wise?
*
Mi4i camera is one of the best 13 megapixel shooter. In fact, Camera is Mi4i's main selling point.
Mi4i camera has it all, good dynamic range, excellent edge to edge sharpness, accurate exposure and exceptional macro. HDR is amazing as any other Xiaomi devices. Also, Mi4i offers full manual mode to suit your needs.

Mi4i's front camera is also decent, that f/1.8 aperture laugh.gif

A7000+ can't come close at all in camera against Mi4i.

I've taken many beautiful shots with Mi4i.

I don't think Mi will bring Mi4C to our shore in near future.

Yes, the price is slightly more expensive than Mi4i. Mi4C is an upgrade to current Mi4i.
AP sets 16GB variant is around RM900+/-, 32GB with 3GB of RAM will cost you RM1200+/-

Phone was OK, not much problem, but when usage longer hours may feeling the phone turning heat on body back with slightly lagging on Web browser too.

The rest all is ok

But if compare over RN2 should be RN2 much value for money n processor much faster than Mi4i also lesser lag on others apps

i realised that the most powerful part of xiaomi is not on the hardware, but rather the bloatware apps that comes with it.
all chinese, but loads of content. audiobook, movies, ebooks
1tb cloud storage etc etc.

only on the developer version.

mi4i is damn laggy..especially when u leave it there for some times then u have to use your phone, it will lag like shit macam waking up from hibernate.

The camera is slow also, the screen become black for good 2 seconds then only show up the camera.

updating of apps in google play is a nightmare, it will just freeze there doing ntg, u need to redo many times for it update.

I'm looking for a sub rm1k phone to buy for my parents.

They're both using ancient phones (nokia dumbphone + s2).

Do you guys recommend this model?

Also mom takes lots of picture so camera is important

Personally I think the Zenfone 2 is more than enough for their usage, but the camera sucks.

Cpu frq control exchanged to interactive.. but still running in that 960/800 Sox cores pattern. Heating lppl..

Tested with mi manager pc software, backup and update function is working.

But stil feel battery drop faster when surfing, jz like 6.5.6

Phone feel more smooth compare v6, and more a bit free ram also, 100-200mb..

been using Mi4i for a while now.. besides the fukcing lagg and stupid overheating issue, camera is superb and fast. photo quality is awesome. low light shot is nice and fast. the best thing is, it is a DUAL LTE .. i can switch between two different 4G sim easily haha

nice phone.. the more i get used to the flaw, the more i appreciate its beauty.. macam awek pulak

Guys.

Why is my device volume so low even though Ive maxed the volume for all settings?

This problem started happening to my phone 3 4 days ago.

Really appreciate if one of you guys can sort this problem out for me.

Mine no facing overheat issue, no lag, also good volume.
But mine still got random voice call drop issue..

Try to disable photo backup to micloud or auto ROM airpush update, it might reduce heat issue.

As for lag, u can try use task manager app, by kill/ignore which task Ur desired. It is safer than ram clean build in.
Also enable 4process max in dev option.

using 7.1.1 now and it works better than 6.7.2
last time I don't dare to upgrade to 7.0.3/7.0.4
7.1.1 seems promising and it doesn't disappoint.

animation and opening apps is quicker.
animations in various app is smoother. Most noticeable is in clock apps, swiping from clock to other functions in the app is silky smooth now.

but I miss MIUI 6 music and gallery.
white background is not so nice.

got my mi4i a week ago 32gb version (24.xxgb actually). bought from xiaomi website. so far:

1 - camera really nice. much better than redmi note 4g i use to have.
2 - rough comparison, redmi note 4g much much better performance. less lag than mi4i which is weird.
3 - seems like overheat zzzz
4 - not so smooth i wonder why, it should be better than redmi note 4g

gonna try miui 7 later. its in xiaomi website already (developer build i think) or maybe i should try other rom?

I didn't claim mi4i is faster than any lol
Mi3 is faster than Mi4i is no surprise at all, even before Mi4i launch to market we know Mi4i falls short in performance and sway its way from typical Mi series in terms of performance.

No doubt snapdragon 800 miles ahead of 615 in many ways, period. No argument there.
I know, because I was using Mi3 before changing to mi4i.

For a normal user like me, who did not require too much processing power is able to forgive Mi4i's SD615.
Because SD615 is more than adequate for me and I valued camera, display, 4G and compact design more than in a smartphone. Hence, the reason why I change to Mi4i.

my statement was only to claim 7.1.1 seems better than 6.7.2 on mi4i on my previous post.

I have it on hands and I like the design, slim and compact. Redmi Note 2 is a bit bigger than mi4i n heavy too.

I am not gamer and only use it for normal tasks like email, whatapps, wechat etc.. No gaming, no video at all.

But heard the lagging and heat issue are exist... thus, lagging is a big no to me especially when I need fast...

btw... how lagging it is?

My friend wanted to buy my mi4i and if I let it goes, I will go back to Redmi Note 2 and forget about its size.. LOL

errrr i tot both should be the same size 5" on both mi4i & mi3. not sure if you meant RN3.

nways imo between mi4i & RN3 depends on what u use ur phone for.

if only need for general usage(normal surfing,occasional gaming) + picture taking go for mi4i due to its superior cam.

if browsing internet more frequently + more gaming RN3 is the way to go due to its bigger size screen

just my opinion tho. cheers

Where got 10%?

899 = 849

If Lazada, 859 - 10% = 77x...

Yes, warranty by XiaoMi... I got the sticker sticked at the bank of the phone

well,pdaf works fine,but i dint notice any edge on that,as mi4i lock in target equally fast.

rn2 camera sometimes out of focus,and you have to tap to focus to get it right, so pictures come out blur,noise level on mi4i keep very low as well.

main different is sharpness,mi4i much sharp and vibrant compare to rn2 camera, I'm not sure but i think isocell from samsung doesnt take as good pictures as sony sensor does.

so my next target will be rn3 pro,with the new 16mp,if its release in Malaysia,hopefully

Theorically, it should be better. Mi4i has more ppi & pixel intensity compared to RN2. So it's sharper. Personally, I think different people have different perception when you compare them by naked eye. wink.gif
