Hi

I've just bought a mi3. Trying to connect my phone to my PC using windows 7.

It keep showing a F drive which is more like a CD rom drive. How do i connect it as a USB mass storage?

Thanks.

As long as you bought it outside of xiaomi website. The chance of fake % is high.
Xiaomi Singapore has warned buyers that the booth selling redmi 1s is not from them.

xiaomi singapore only selling the 10400mAh model

they had a fb post previously, but dis-assembly is not recommended :)

the xiaomi china webpage for the 5200mAh model
小米移动电源,小米充电宝
scroll to the bottom of page; they apparently have a scratch-to-reveal label on the box; not sure if yours have

actually, if you want to buy xiaomi powerbank, best to buy from xiaomi singapore website; safer, as fake batteries may be dangerous

just avoid buying xiaomi products out of their official webstore, please spread this info among your family and friends.

mine also shows the Mi3 as a CD drive initially, but after a minute or two later, the entire Mi3 internal storage appears under "Portable Devices". Maybe you can try another USB port and wait awhile longer for windows to scan and install all the necessary drivers.

In the FM Radio app,
1. press the on-screen left-most button (the one that has 3 horizontal lines).
2. Press the capacitive menu button (left most button at the bottom of the phone)
3. Select "add new station"

fyi, another picture of the label seems to show that it is on the cardboard packaging, not the transparent plastic casing

Anyone knows how to check FedEx delivery status?
Ordered the Mi3 but the site doesn't allow me to see status and no FedEx/UPS reference ID. Only have a DeliveryID, which I used to check via the FedEx tracking and found nothing.

The deliveryID is not the tracking ID. Just means that the package is not with Fedex yet.
