starting to get pissed off by the phone. install few apps only say no space. everyday will hang and have to restart. want to use smart band with it also cannot because of android version issue. sigh.

i own both and i dont see any improvement on redmi 1s to justify the switch

i think you should wipe your phone and reinstall version 19 or 16

Redmi 1S has 8GB storage with 4+ GB available for use and comes with Android 4.3 . Should be sufficient. :)

Fast Delivery. Received it on Friday. Charge fully overnight and been using it since morning Saturday till now. Now still left 75% left after normal talking, whatsapp and playing lets get rich. The performance is excellence for first try I would say but I hope it will not deteriorate as I charge more times ...

Hm.. For me I might just purchase another battery (troublesome to do battery swap but it's cheaper and more lasting in a way) @$5/- from Xiaomi site. I would prolly wait for the sale and ask someone to lobang instead of paying the additional $5/- delivery fee. :s12:

Ohh furthermore got extra free gifts..

1 x adapter
1 x battery charger
1 x screen protector

Does Redmi 1S have any ROMS that is able to enable 3G with SIM2 or switch 3G active from Sim 1 to Sim 2 & vice versa - similar to MIUI Ultimate ROM (by Sta-s2z)for Redmi1 - en.miui.com/thread-13092-1-1.html

I don't want to manually change the sim cards when I surf using SIM 2. Appreciate any advice. Thanks

think i know why le....

" is anyone else having horrible lag, long freezes with this and actually the last 3 or so previous OT ...
Yea, i notice the long freezing lag around the last few update too... Happen especially after i just clean up the device using cleaner or clean master. And the long waiting horrible lag happens in the dialer when calling someone. Where the call screen takes time to showup. Also when the phone switches from wifi to 3g or vice versa, lags would occur when launching apps that require internet connection for example, whatsapp. I really hope xiaomi could reduce all these lags on future updates "from miui forum

It's not a Rom issue. The SIM slots are hardwired.

got a Redmi1s model here.
(is the redmi & redmi1s 2 diff models or similar?)

Intending to get a protective casing (clip/snap on type from back of phone)

From the mi site, is the Soft Case a protective casing?
or need to remove the original back cover then attach the soft case?

They are essentially the same model, just some internal parts changes.
The soft case is just like a jacket to your phone, doesn't need to remove original back case. :)
