MI3 NO SIM CARD

Hi bros,

anyone knows the solution to my problem? My mi3 phone can't read the sim card!!
Initially, i tried using a sim card adapter with my nano sim but it didn't work. I also went to starhub for an exchange (from nano sim to the regular sim) and it still doesn't work.

Anyone has experienced the same problem/knows the solution? Thanks!

just 2 mins of him using and he told me, eh help me buy mi3 and find seller for my ip5s.

anw i notice a few minor scratches on the screen. certainly not made by me. but not noticeably when screen is on.

and also, u all got this screen with many blinking dots anot ah. like every end point of the grid of the display (made of many many small squares). like if got strong lighting, u will see many many shiny dots. is this how its suppose to be?

I got. I think it's the underlying touch sensor.

Best to bring down to Xiaomi Service Centre at Central. Friendly staff will help you.

Those with the sim card issue is actually facing a minor design flaw, compatibility issues. Nothing much to worry

You got the correct ver? Not nvidia tegra 4 ya?

Yup. As long as you tell them where you plan to use the phone in, they will help to find the right version. In our case, just say you need WCDMA and they will give you the right version.

Just came back from my backpacking trip. Landed in Guangzhou for a few days and bought a Xiaomi Mi3 there because my Sony Xperia Z1 broke down. Its a very decent phone and I got it from the "Ah Beng" shops in their version of Sim Lim Square. Slightly more than the retail price here but it's ok (+$10).

If online sellers from China tell you that they have connections and get the phones from Xiaomi manufacturers direct and can sell you cheap, they are most likely lying and selling you a fake Xiaomi. In my short experience there, even the "Ah Beng" shops there buy the stock from people who manage to buy from the Xiaomi website online and then resell it at their store (pretty much the same as what shops like WhyMobile, Mobile Square are doing). The big IT stores don't sell Xiaomi because Xiaomi doesn't have traditional distribution channels. Even in public, I see very few Mi3 phones too. More iPhones and Samsung phones.

The Xiaomi Mi3 that I have, comes with the official RMB1999 receipt from Xiaomi website.

Just wanted to share my 2 cents here for anyone who plans to buy one online.

True. iPhone and Samsung are very popular there, just like in SG. They don't really support local brands much, also the same like us.... hahaha.....

How to identify a fake Xiaomi Mi3: 正品米3 PK 山寨米3！超多对比图！揭秘山寨机跑高分的秘密　-　小米手机官方论坛

Not whether support or not. Those locals I met are just regular people and not tech geeks. They just use what is available to them. They tell me Xiaomi only releases a fixed number of units per month and they don't bother to go online to 'fight' for one.

So those who say they have wholesale units and can sell bulk, all either ********ting or selling fakes.

Even my unit, though I bought from the local 'ah beng' shop, I was given the original receipt from Xiaomi.

I wonder how much is the ah beng shop selling Mi3.

I wonder how much is the ah beng shop selling Mi3.

In Guangzhou, I got it from the 'ah beng' shop for SGD20 more than the MSRP. So it's not a lot.

Not like Singapore where people actually think they can 'speculate' in new mobile phones.

Partly cos $20 is equal to their rmb100. Guess SG shops likely selling from $500-550. Can't be more expensive than Nexus5 too.
