Xiaomi Mi Max - Part 2

[trichard]

Hi. Any idea where can try Global Beta Nougat 7.5.25 ??

I took your advice and changed the microSD card. This is the battery life now. Unplugged from charging for 23hrs and get SOT of about 7.5hrs and still got 19% battery left!

I am reluctant to change because the microSD card is the high speed one. But it seems to be the culprit.

Glad you found the culprit. Speed on the microSD card doesn't really make alot of difference unless you got thousands of photos lah. Still better to use one that doesn't cause any battery drain.

download for Mi max 64/128gb.

The 7.5.25 is in the year.month.day format, meaning it was released on 2017.05.25.

Please note there is a cut/copy bug if you try to cut/copy the URL in Chrome. The topof the Chrome window gets cut off and requires a restart of Chrome. Apart from the auto brightness bug mentioned by others of course.

It was ok. Only after the update awhile ago, then the drain problem happens.

Do you play a lot of games? If not, can get Mi Max 2.

U mean to say Mi Max is better for games than Mi Max 2?

Yes. 650/652 performs better in graphics than 625.

OK. 32 variant only...

Can check if the auto brightness works properly especially so after you switch off the auto brightness that the brightness level returns to the preset manual level fast and correctly?
