I better look through the link before I bought if not later I buy Liao don't know how to do. Easy to flash anot? Or is there any link can teach me step by step how to do to the export set? Got English words anot. Then export set got 32/64gb which one should I buy? If not much different can buy 64gb? 128gb too big space for me already. Sorry I really know nut about phone just want to get a bigger phone easy for me to see and use google map. Actually this is just a spare phone for me.

I'm sure you can read English right? Everything you asked had been answered in this thread. Not telling you to read past the 116 pages, but I guess even if you read past the last 20 pages, you will get the answer.

Or, just go buy a GPS if using map is all you want.

Or go get an iPhone if you're really that worried about not knowing what to do with the phone. Especially now with iPhone 7 out, many will be dumping they're iPhone 6/6 plus.

Hey guys, bought the mi max about 10 days ago and it's an awesome phone! But I jus cracked the screen. Is this covered under warranty?

If not where should I go to repair?

I didn't end up going Y2K as I found a shop in Bugis+ on the bridge which had a transparent black plastic case from Mercury Goospery for $15. Then found a screen protector which was plastic (not tempered glass) at Hitec mobile (I am pretty sure it's the one they get for free with Nillkin case). I'm still waiting for my Frosted case linked below which I ordered for $13 with free delivery.

IMO just buy the local set. Cash price on the street seems to be $330: https://hitecmobile.com.sg/xiaomi-mi-max


I bought local set from hachi.tech (Challnger) using my existing rebate and credit card rebate so I wouldn't have to worry about any of that and it works great out of the box.

Just realized I've been using the phone 'kosong' without case for 1.5 months already, heng no serious drops yet, but the reports of cracks do scare me a bit haha

Not sure if many places will have such large screen in stock. Probably cost you nearly as much as the phone itself!

ps. Warranty does not cover things you do... unless you have paid for some extended insurance/warranty program.

But I would advise you not to push your luck too far. That day mine dropped on the hard floor from about 50cm height, even with full casing protection it opened a few mm from the side. I could pushed it to snap back but I had been more careful from then.

How daring of you. I felt so nervous carrying mine outside without any protection front or back... hence bought case very quickly!

Haissss mine is local set. Any bros have any idea where can change?

Anyone got their Mi Max from M1 Shop? It's 3GB RAM / 32GB ROM. My M1 contract expiring soon so looking at the phone. My 2-year-old HTC 820s is working fine but the big screen of Mi Max is a big pull factor TIA.

I think you can consider going xm svc centre and get service estimate first for a point of reference, and last resort if no other shops are servicing MM now.
Don't think anyone here has replaced it yet so we won't know... You might be the pioneer to find out this info for the rest of us haha

This shop seems to do a lot of xm repairs, so can try asking them - http://www1.technofied.com:90/xiaomi-repair/

Was at irepair sg to replace screen for a samsung note 3 last week, but the guy didn't even see a mi max before, so I doubt they have parts

 

[jace88]

Hey do you guys use the Mi Gallery app to view your saved photos? Trying to figure out how to get rid of the cloud with a slash icon (i.e. not backed up to cloud) on my photos because I don't want to back up to Mi Cloud (I already have 1TB OneDrive). Seems like the cloud integration is super baked in because at the top of the app it asks me to Turn on sync with Mi Cloud.

Anyone got their Mi Max from M1 Shop? It's 3GB RAM / 32GB ROM. My M1 contract expiring soon so looking at the phone. My 2-year-old HTC 820s is working fine but the big screen of Mi Max is a big pull factor TIA.

Make sure you can handle such a big phone. It's actually quite tiring I found when I was using it in bed last night to hold it up above my head to use! Definitely a two handed phone.

Local set has many meaning. But if from Local Xiaomi or Xiaomi authorized dealer. You can go back to Xiaomi service center. Tipically, they do not have ready spare for replacement. So you have to wait.

You have to pay for the part and service too as is not covered under warranty. As in previous post, it may cost almost like a new phone. So you must well get a new one and keep the old one as spare part.
