Anybody has experience getting their mix max battery changed by outside shops? I checked with a few handphone repair shops at sim lim square and the price difference is quite big. The cheapest i got quoted is $35 + 6 mths warranty. I guess the biggest worry would be the authenticity and quality of the replacement battery. They claim the replacement battery is brand new original, but of course they will say so.

Hard to verify, unless they are getting the replacement battery from Xiaomi. If from Aliexpress or online store...Can use for half a year consider good

Same issue with you lor. I bought my max last september. Currently getting battery degradation issues. I am still getting good standby but when i use the phone for things like surfing the net or watching movies, i experience quite drastic battery drain. I am very sure its nothing to do with rouge apps or firmware. Currently considering whether worth it to change the battery or just sell the phone off.

Owe the Max prime variant since march last year..it's a good phone with amazing battery life..always bring it out when I travel. Good to use as a mobile hotspot.. battery is still quite ok for me.. one key point ..just to highlight for battery preservation ..is not to charge the phone and use it at the same time.. it will degrade the battery..

Why cannot charge and use at the same time?

Anyone happen to be keeping extra power button ribbon to spare?

(Phone dropped buttons kaput, stocked 2 at home, can't find. Ali/eBay taking too long)

is there a setting to keep the network alive while the screen is sleeping? I want to upload 1000 files to onedrive, but after 8-9 files the screen turns black and when I wake it again I see the transfer is interrupted at that point.


Also how to enable file mangagers to use usb thumbdrives? They keep saying I must 'select the usb drive' but I cannot see it in the file manager apps at all.
