Xiaomi Mi Max - Part 2

[luei74]

bump, all migrated too mm3?

Never encountered any speaker issue on both of my sets with fw 9.5.4.0...My set speaker set at 75% quite audible and doesn't have the degradation... Perhaps time to move on to M3

My screen got issue. Export set can go xm centre? I dun mind paying.
Or go ah beng shop can repair?
Or buy new?

Export set can only go ah beng shop. Xiaomi wouldn't repair for you even if you throw them money.

think many jump to max 3 else honor note 10

No more huawei phones cos cannot unlock bootloader anymore.

Careful and it's a must to put screen protector....3rd times saving the screen while doing business at WC....Be it M1, M2 or M3

My brother's Mi Max cannot stay on for more than 2 minutes.

If need to switch on again, I had leave it untouched for a day before the button will respond with screen.
Tried wipe erase. Not helping after hard reset.
No able to go to the page to unlock bootloader. Not enough time to do so, since setting new phone took too long.

What are the likely problem?
Battery? MainBoard? or Flex ribbon for Power Buttons?
Taobao replacement parts are cheap if I knew what to replace.

My Mi Max (3 year old) has not received MIUI10 update yet. Anyway 9.6.2.0 stable version is good enough.

 

[lmf2501]

Feel 10 is slightly laggy though, nothing major but still ok lol

Do you get more ads now? Global ROM used to be quite good with very few ads, now there are more and I have to turned off some settings to get less ads.

 

[lmf2501]

Not really, occasionally only or when I reboot, those irritating ad icons will auto appear on my desktop (using mn launcher btw)

Now decision to wait for mi max 4 or get the mi max 3 lol

 

[cscs3]

I am still using, seriously no reason for me change to Mi Max 3 lol

Just wait for Mi max 4. Phone size same but screen increase to 7".

Thanks for the heads up krabs. That’s really helpful. I’m gonna order it. The bottom half of the screen is now lifted by itself due to the bloated battery but i’m afraid to lift it up completely in case I break anything. Noob question, how do we know the battery is genuine?
