The Xiaomi Redmi thread

[iamlenon]

With some getting used to the shutter lag, and right amount of natural sunlight ...the $169 Redmi continues to surprise me.

In Gold Coast now as my defacto mobile device.

under good sunlight i agree the pic quite surprising for a cheap phone

under low light quite terrible lol

Does the latest update (V 13) fixed the date format issue and GPS accuracy issue ?

Are you able to gets the compass to work? I swing until 5 min figure 8 also cant calibrate the compass.

i am able to calibrate, the GPS is still very buggy. location still 'jumping around' even with WIFI and GPS turned on.

Dun think so, but this version cannot be rooted

Tested and I fall back to ver 12 because of root

Hey, after a call, the phone doesn't wake up. Any solution to this? The sensor seems to think I'm still on a call, even after I remove it from my face and hold it on my hand. The screen remains black.

How to solve this, anyone?

Any bro wish to purchase Redmi? I have an extra set with screen protector and a black silicon case. Phone is still sealed. Can let go @ original price.

Thanks.

Try go to Setting -> Sound -> Optimize audio quality > Select "General" under HEADPHONE TYPE SETTING.

Have you turn on the Proximity sensor under the Incoming call settings?

Iphone earphone is harder to detect and have to plug in slowly...

i use S3 earphone...no issue with that and the bass is good...

How do I go about it?

v13 got any other problems so far? bloody hell dont know is it v13 giving me the not responding browsing problem on miui browser.

 

[mrboys]

so far encountered two problems with redmi,

1. GPS cannot find a fix location, and when it established a fix location it's not accurate.

2. SMS problematic (i.e OTP, checking prepaid card value)

updated to the latest official MIUI version via OTA.

anyone has a work around on the above issues?

anyone tried any apps which fix the issues?

 

[Egoistee]

what r the benefits of rooting?

 

[savage]

It basically gives you the right to do just about anything on the phone... even damage the phone...

I can't call myself to be a photographer but from 2005-2011, I took photos very frequently in various light conditions and did a lot of photo editing using photoshop.

I can see that your picture is full of digital noise even in such bright light condition, meaning that the image sensor is of low quality and any picture taken in low light conditions will be so full of "noise" that it cannot make it.
