The Xiaomi Mi3 thread

[caterham7]

Okay that's good news to me. I'll hoot one soon.

Should I just get phone only or go for the bundle with case and SP included? I read from here that the SP is a fingerprint&oil magnet. But the case looks quite nice.

Do you guys find the remaining 13+GB storage adequate for normal usage?

note: the case selling on xiaomi singapore website, is attached to the mi3 using a piece of doubleside tape, not an elegant solution in my opinion.

Xiaomi china website has more variety of accessories, e.g. silicone case for mi3, think they will bring more in next time. They are doing a poll on their Facebook page

I can see all the daily events by scrolling the widget without opening the app, unless i tap on the date to edit or add events. What do u intend to see the moment you tap on the date?

basically with the stock calendar widget, all i can see is the calendar, and today's date, circled in red. I can't even see the events I've input, until i tap on the screen and the app opens up.

I'm hoping to be able to actually just, on the widget, look at the different dates and see my planned events on the dates without going in. (which i think is what you're saying).

did you have to change any settings?

on a side note, does anyone know how i can find hwz forums on tapatalk? First time user of the app heh.

You should see 2 calender widget options. Choose "Agenda". That should do what you ask for.

Dont think HWZ is listed in tapatalk at all.

you're a star! Thanks very much on both counts. Still not exactly what I'm looking for, though. Perhaps I'm asking for something not already available, but in the Samsung (my prev. phone) stock calendar I could see my whole month and still click on the individual dates. I found that to be immensely useful.

 

[shichuanhua]

Yeah taking contract for both fibre and phone. Phone gt additional 100 off, no Stock bobian take fibre only

Was a Samsung user myself and i understand perfectly what u meant now.

The closest calendar i could find was the aCalendar from Play Store. It allows u to see all your events in each individual day boxes even in month view.

At least give your reason why it sucked. Havent u heard of something called "constructive criticism"?

Its like a total stranger suddenly walking up to you and says, " you suck" and walking off as abruptly.

IMHO, The Alarm Module is quite ok. Every OS will have room for improvement. At the very least Xiaomi is open to user feedback. Unlike Bigger player out there who do not.

Being open and transparent is important in the current context.

yes, one of my favourite feature of the stock alarm is the ability of the alarm to go off even when the phone is totally powered-off!

dont quite like the scrolling of the numerals (hours and minutes) when setting the alarm (same goes for setting calendar events). prefer to be able to input the numbers manually, or at least similar to stock android where you can manually move the hours and minutes' hands to the desired time.
