The Xiaomi Mi3 thread

[jordanlowlowlow]

Hi bros, i just bought a xiaomi 5200mah power bank from SG TECH SHOW. the problem now is i dont know whether its genuine or fake. It was at the booth at the corner selling the redmi as well. I have checked some threads and still unable to decide whether its real or fake.

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.

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

Noted. Will be careful from now. Thanks bro!

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.

Anyone knows how to preset radio station frequency in the radio function?

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.

install firefox android, then install the adblock plus add-in

no root needed
