Does anyone have problem with the radio? I try the FM radio and it cant pick up any station and every freq I have tried are all noises. Was it suppose to be like this or did I get a faulty set?

Also, are there any shop around the north selling casing and SP? Not quite happy with what was sold from the website.

Lastly, did anyone manage to buy the power bank and their headphone? Is there like a "golden period" to order it?

cuz mi4 coming soon

 

[kyleongwl]

Did benchmark test & antutu result drop by almost 10k diff.

OS 4.3 Jelly Bean

OS 4.4.2 KitKat

Based on it, it appears so.
Same hardware but differ sw, it drop so much. I guess not optimise
however, the experience feel smoother...previously kind of jerky when swipe frm page to page

I feel its kinda soft.. Even at max volume as compared to S4.. Any solution?

use in-ear headphones [these prevent audio from "leaking" out], especially those with low impedance [this makes it easier for the phone to "drive" the audio out]

personal pet peeve; handphone users on public transport who use open headphones; everyone can hear whatever they are hearing

I have similar query. So i spoke to one of my friend who been a xiaomi fan since they were in China, at the very beginning.

According to sources, the mi3 is currently out of production. Meaning to say, they no longer ramp production for it. But the stocks availability is abundant, left in the warehouse. Apparently, they have distribution sequence, and would probably be using this stock to distribute to other parts of their new market.

However for SG market, we may or may not be getting any more supplies.

Dealers may be hogging onto their set, and expect to make a profit of $300 and above. thats a big gain if demand is high. However, with the introduction of LTE MI4, i would say, the fall of this gain is extremely near.

Xiaomi will not be delaying their shipment that long anymore given the more robust logistics tie-up with big logistic firms, as well as local courier like SINGPOST.

So current MI3 user may get the MI4 as the replacement in the future.

Yes and no.
If im on 12gb plan, a mi3 with a reduction cost will be good. Snapdragon 800 at sub $280, why not?
If im on LTE and a tech geek, why sacrifice speed and such a high specs for sub 450?
