The Xiaomi Mi3 thread

Assuming you have not tried to pull out sim tray and no other damagem then it should take less than 2-3 minutes.

Any document need to bring to service centre ?
i tried to pull it out but cannot so i just push in back .. shouldnt be any damages.

Can install Kii keyboard

Thanks bro, i installed Kii keyboard on my Redmi and it is huge improvement not just in term of key layout, the spell check/correction has also improved.

Anyone bought the bundle?
Is the cover worth it? Or get 3rd party one better? Got card slots in the flap?

Currently using nexus 5, dont know to make e switch anot? Hahaha.

im also using n5...dont think its a big upgrade to go mi3...dont monkey see monkey do...

it's not an upgrade that's why I can't convince myself to hoot, got LTE why don't utilize it.

waiting for the MIUI rom to stabilize then flash on the n5.

the flip case i heard use double-sided tape to stick to the back so I don't think it's worth it. Better buy from ebay or something

I am already using Redmi, 2 of them but I find the gps sucks and not so good for gaming so that's why I was looking at Mi3.

MediaTek CPU are well known for its GPS issues.

there should be a fix somewhere. Google ba.

It would be good to know exactly what issues the original poster was talking about. Like I said good for navigation in car and on foot.

Yeah... No more.. The set I choped still awaiting payment still avail....

I just cancelled my order. 16GB really not enough.

I just cancelled my order. 16GB really not enough.

still feel that my redmi is good enough. mi3 is not perfect and it has many hiccups too.

Just a Quick Question. Why do people need so much memory on their phone ? What is there to store ? I m curious. I uses a MI3 and I have no issues with the 16GB or rather 12 plus GB of storage space.

And the fact about LTE, honestly local LTE is not as fantastic as what the SP claim it is. IMHO I honestly find that 3G is more stable as compared to LTE.

This is something that I really cannot understand.

ppl will always want moar, machiam buffet liddat... cannot be satisfied one lor.

To me i mainly need more GB for watching dramas. I intend to buy a dual OTG and usb 32gb drive to store movies inside. Easily plug into device to view. Yes its more troublesome more not something i cant live without.

LTE? My note2 on m1 always get dropped down to h+ or 3g. I think ill be fine without LTE.

Non removable battery is indeed a down side for someone coming from note 2. But heck their portsble battery only cost 14 bucks. Just hope.someday they will have stock though.

Using singtel, moved to lte last year, it is ~5-6 times faster ( 25-30 mbps vs 3-4 mbps) , latency much lower ~50ms vs 200ms and most importantly, more free capacity, it is the fact that things don't even load at all on the 3g networks that bothered me, and comparatively, the 4g networks are less overloaded
