Some feature in miui anyhow really did a good work like dual apps that play store can’t offer that. ..

Can try this 50 Million downloaded apps...

I personally never use Parallel Space "yet" as the only dual apps that I need for WhatsApp is "GB WhatsApp"... Perhaps Parallel Space is suitable for Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, etc... There's tons of Facebook & Twitter 3rd party apps too...

Bought from Wow Phone. Says item shipped but can’t seem to find a tracking number anywhere.

Edy received mine today at 12pm sharp.... Just ignore the Laz tracking system... so long as you've got SMS saying the item has been SHIPPED, it'll arrive within 24 hours....

Sweet. Mine still in transit, I believe.

Somehow I doubt this phone replaces your beloved P2, bro? biggrin.gif

This A1 is not mine... I just helped my friend to order... At least I got RM35.06 commission from cashback... using his credit card though (RM779.00)... It's from WOW Phone (aka DirectD). There's EIN and Global version sticker but wall charger is 2 pin white colour....

any screen protector recommended?

There's a PET Film screen protector in the box... can use that temporarily while ordering better tempered glass....

Which means it’s not Malaysia set? Or Malaysia set also comes with a two pin wall plug?
*
As long as there is "EIN" sticker on the box, it's Local Manufacturer Warranty... no need to worry about the charger...

Can double check with Mi Malaysia for IMEI number verification/confirmation....

Get ready with your IMEI number and call Mi Malaysia at :
Mi Malaysia Authorised Service Centre

Hows the glass?

Usual OEM glass... nothing fancy... the same quality like RM3 tempered glass that we can get from Kedai Ustaz, etc...

Did anyone else noticed a strong magnetic near the speaker area of the phone? Is it normal or mine is faulty?

My LeMoto P2 also like that... this is the scientific evidence that the external speaker is powerful....

You can try the same...

Airplane mode + Offline maps + magnetometer (aka Compass sensor) = Offline Google Maps navigation!!!



No need to rely data connection...

Yes that's true... I'm just clarify to others that navigation does not require data connection if we know how to set properly...

I'm using DIGI. So far no problem unlike my wifey and bro in law's Redmi Note 4 Pro with MIUI but instability GPS.  bangwall.gif

MIUI is well known for aggressive energy conservation. The default setting in MIUI is "Manage app's battery usage = Standard" which stated as "Background access to the location services and the network will be restricted":

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


So, user needs to either set it to "Off" or let it be "Standard" and MANUALLY choose which apps not to be restricted... This is where MIUI is better compared to stock Android as MIUI allows very granular settings of energy usage for each individual apps...
