Jazzman80, you see your battery page looks different from ours.

What is your firmware version?

Yah. There are a few hiccups here and there which if they don't fix it in the next update soon, I may just switch back to MIUI 7 Stable version.

Might want to consider the miui8 global dev ROM. Has been using it since flashing 2 weeks ago. So far so good for Google services. No China ROM bloatwares too.

I'm on 128gb model. Doubt 32gb global Rom works on it.

A few pages back, someone said they did. 2.5 hrs for 3%-100% I think.

I ordered an Aukey QC3.0 charger a few days ago, will see how it does when it arrives.

Got pic? Tttttttt

Am outside now, uploading and attaching pic not convenient. You can search for this vendor on Qoo10 - Revelion. They have many brands for Max Casing. But, the free screen protector they give doesn't cover the screen entirely.

I'm using another tpsg with white front but that has got the rainbow effect. Not visible with the screen on though.

Don't mind can share what model u bought?

Sure, ordered the AUKEY PA-T15. Prefer this type with extension cable vs wall plug type cos I tend to charge mostly at the desktop, so this gives access to the sockets quite easily. Good for travel also, bring one charger can charge two phones + two tablets.

The listing if anyone is interested.
http://list.qoo10.sg/g/463917554

Purchased this with the recent qoo10 coupon for $30 off $200. Total cart with other items was approx $220, less $5 Mastercard item coupon, less $30 event cart coupon, less $10 qpoints. After breakdown for specific items should be approx $28+ for this.

Taobao approx S$23-4 (109RMB), before shipping fees.

Finally made up my mind and ordered the 128GB Mi Max.

I was the first few who bought the Note 1 when it was not cool to own a jumbo phone.

I was the first few to go to Far East Plaza early in the morning of the first day of Note 1 sales even before the official release and unlike the big crowds for iPhone, it was quiet but the few of us there knew what and why we want a big phone. We want to support the sellers and help spread the usefulness of the jumbo phone.

Sure enough, I got stares and unkind jokes whenever I used my jumbo phone; "is that a brick?" , "waaa can use as weapon already", "alamak so big, uncle phone leh"...

So I purposely always leave my phone on the table to let people watch the apps that I'm using. At that time, there are many new and exciting apps to explore.

I can show them that my Note 1 will play almost any media files whereas iPhone was very restrictive. I was quite surprised that even rm video files could play and I don't have to waste time transcoding like iPhone. I owned an iPhone 4 before simply because it's beautiful LOL. It's simple to use but very restrictive in hiding files from users. I got frustrated and gave it away free to a friend.

Leaving my Note on the table, people can gather around and we share photos, videos, work related pdf documents or I can teach them about new apps like Whatsapp. With the iPhone I can't do that. The screen is too small and I had to pick up the iPhone to bring it close to their faces one by one, very troublesome and waste time.

Very soon many people realised the usefulness of a smart phone and bought either an iPhone or Android phone. In my office, there's even rivalry between the iPhones and the jumbo phones camp. It's quite a victory when one day when a big group of us were taking a lift together and each brought out a smart phone, then someone lamented to another, "why did you betrayed us iPhone people and joined the enemy? I'm so sad leh."

When the Note 3 came out, there's no doubt that the jumbo phone has become the main stream. There's hype enough to rival the iPhone. I took my time to order from Singtel and lined up to collect at MBS in an unprecedented major launch event rivaling the iPhone.

This time I don't have to buy from Far East Plaza just to support the sellers to keep the jumbo phone sales alive.

I skipped the Note 4 and waited for Note 5. But I also skipped the Note 5 for lack of removable battery and uSD card slot. Patiently waited for the Note 6/7. Meanwhile, I was mesmerized by the beauty of the curved S7 Edge. But if Note 7 follows the same design then again no removable battery and uSD card slot.

I'm seduced by the beauty of the curved glass but I'm not willing to forego removable battery and uSD card slot. So I decided to look around the Internet for any phone that matches my ideal Note 7 equivalent. But alas, there's none.

The closest is the MiMax in some equivalent ways,

1. No removable battery but the huge battery is equivalent.

2. uSD is shared with a sim slot. But the 128GB is equivalent. Even my Note 3 is 32+64GB only. Still I filled them up with videos and work related documents.

3. Having 2nd sim slot is a new requirement since I go Malaysia frequently now. It will save me a lot on roaming charges.

4. No S pen for easy copy and paste but the big screen makes copy and paste much easier so it's not an issue.

The biggest problem is the huge screen. My Note 3 is already jumbo enough but I'm comfortable holding it but this humongous size is something else altogether LOL. I went down to SLQ to try it out for size. It's indeed difficult to hold securely with one hand and scroll with the thumb while reading. I'll have to think of a way to add support at the back for this to be securely done.

Finally when Note 7 came out recently, I read all the specs and reviews closely. It confirmed what I was afraid to be true. But the beauty is so seductive. I still hesitated for a few days. Finally decided that since Note 7's beauty will sell itself for beauty's sake without my support so I'm buying the Mi Max where the enthusiasm and excitement here in this forum reminded me of Note 1. Enthusiasm is infectious like the Note 1.
