Xiaomi Mi Max

[batniss]

Battery type : 4850 mAh NiMH size AA rechargeable battery
Require : approx 11 hour(s) to be fully recharged with 500 mA charger

Sure is 500mA?

Feels more like 2000mA with the time clocked for mine to be fully charged - device is on while charging.

Amelia80, do computer stuffs like what?having problem using the phone out of the box?
why do you want to flash? what problem are you facing?

Wow! You mean it took them 30 days to grant you unlocking privilege?

I was told it would usually only take 3-4 days or 14 days max.

nono ,you can't use back the same account to unlock another xiaomi device within the 30 days period after you have unlocked the previous one.

Well it depends on where u got the set from.

Non local set HV chance of getting China ROM and nobody wants to use China ROM hence people flash it to global ROM

Some people like myself will flash because we want to try the latest OS such as Nougat. Miui only have marshmallow variant for now on this set.

And/or other reasons.

I have never bothered about how fast and slow the charging of Mi Max is coz I can charge it as and when at home, in office or on the move.

So, I'm gonna use my Samsung fast charger and cable to charge it from 45% onwards to see how fast it can reach 100% and report back later.

Just for a statistic reference.

So is can unlock another phone or cannot assuming you have not use the unlock at all.

What's the difference between flashing and rooting, and how do I know if the variant I buy is compatible with the version I want - which is probably the global version?

flashing is to flash the firmware.
rooting is to access your phone kernel and stuffs.like disable some system apps, can tweak the CPU too.

go to your phone settings, scroll to below and go to about phone. the internal memory determines what variant is your phone.

no problem if its the first xiaomi device you want to unlock. but for subsequent unlocking, have to wait 30 days later.

Great but if unlock if install miui will automatically connect to mi cloud during setup? Anyway to bypass that??

what charger you guys use ah? it is taking forever for me to charge. even using anker 6 port charger only gets 400Amp...

ME also use anker 6 port IQ charger. Out of box it was 0%. Took more than 4 hours to charge to full.

I don't think it will auto connect micloud unless you log in your mi account.

Maybe I should try with my Aukey QC3.0 and see if it "helps".

Chances are I believe is limited by the device

Okays, will try it later.

the reason why I'm still with china ROM ,because it is one of the earliest firmware to come with the device. 7.3.14

I believe in early firmware come with good battery life. probably the best.

I am on Global Beta firmware 6.12.8.

Just realised that the Explorer app got bugs. Details doesn't show details at all.

Mi Max HardwareZone Forums app

Just would like to clarify .....

This problem is due to the "ReMix" theme on MIUI Theme.

Those using, please take note.

 

[i1magic]

See this.

I cannot click on "Accept", can only click on "Deny".

Anybody kana same thing?

Mi Max HardwareZone Forums app

I am on MIUI 8 6.12.1 Beta firmware.

Whenever I install new app, it'll prompt to ask me "Deny" or "Allow". I can only click "Deny" and cannot click "Allow" leh. Any of you got this issue?

Update on this problem, found the cause.

The cause of this problem is the "PIE Control" app. When the "PIE Control" app is enabled, we cannot clicked on "Allow".

Once we disable the "PIE Control" app, it is ok.

Those using PIE Control app, please take note.

For everyone talking about slow charging, understand this: QC tech is made to fast charge the battery up to are 80% charge, then it reverts to standard charging till its 100%. So even with QC3 charger, you are still going to get about 3hrs charge time from low batt to 100% for such a big battery.

QC is for u to get more juice fast while Short on time, so you may get few hrs of batt time for half an hr charge kind of scenario.

Why it doesn't QC up to 100% is to protect the battery from
Overheating. This alone will prevent explosion and the shortening of lifespan.
