Xiaomi Mi Max

[azbyza]

Thks for your reply. Does it have any kind of quick charge technology for this phone?

Xiaomi doesn't officially state that Mi Max support quick charge but the specs for SD650/652 does mention quick charge. We think that it's about not paying the licensing fees for QC.

There are those who buy their own QC chargers and they really do charge faster.

For the export sets from local sellers, if DOA will be covered under lazada's return policy, within 7 or 14 days.

If worried then get local warranty set at $349 - http://www.lazada.sg/xiaomi-mi-max-32gb-gold-8422303.html

ThanK's for the tip

For those who bought the local set from Finis on Lazada, do you get an official receipt from Finis? Mine came without

The company that copies everything Apple and Samsung do has a problem with exploding phones
Galaxy Note 7 Explosions

Safety implications aside, this has to be the greatest and most hilarious story of comeuppance we’ve seen in a long time in consumer tech.

Xiaomi, for those unaware, is a China-based smartphone startup that has found tremendous success in the cell phone market. In the company’s early days, it launched inexpensive, relatively high-quality Android phones that looked like iPhones. In fact, it shamelessly copied every move Apple made. It even once launched a phone by having an executive in jeans and a black mock turtleneck host a press conference. Seriously, we’re not joking.


Then, Xiaomi moved on and started to copy everything Samsung did, too. It launched nice big phones that mirrored Samsung’s nice big phones, and it even has a line of phablets with built-in styluses. But now, Xiaomi has taken things a step too far.

DON’T MISS: iPhone 7 review roundup: Boring? Exciting? It’s time to find out

According to a post on Digitimes that relays a report from Taipei-based Central News Agency, Xiaomi has a problem with exploding smartphones. Why is that hilariously ironic? Because Xiaomi built a massive smartphone empire based largely on copying everything Samsung does, and now it’s inadvertently copying Samsung’s exploding Galaxy Note 7 problem that led to a global recall.

The post states that Xiaomi has hired an independent third-party company to investigate reports of two separate incidents involving Xiaomi phones that allegedly exploded. The first was a Mi Max phablet that is said to have exploded on September 5th and caused a fire in the city of Xian. Then the second was a Xiaomi Mi 4C that burst into flames on September 9th while it was in a man’s back pocket, burning his hip.

Xiaomi said that it has compensated the owners of both smartphones involved with these incidents, and it is unclear how long the third-party investigation might take.

And also, Xiaomi doesn't have any single device that has a built-in stylus. This report is clearly a report to bash on Xiaomi....

Every electronic products that has a battery will always have a risk of exploding, is whether you are lucky to encounter it.

I fine it hard to believe as there are no factual evidence. The person behind this does not seem to understand Xiao mi business model.

I've tried to test from 2% to 100% only once because it takes so long to drain the big battery down. It was about 4.5 hours using the supplied charger. Hence from 20% to full would proportionally be about 3.5 hours.

I'll usually leave it to charge overnight. Even if I forgot to charge overnight, it's still ok if the battery is more than 60% charged because that will still last me more than a day. When fully charged, the big battery will last about 2 days.

That's the advantage of a big battery.

Thks for your reply. Does it have any kind of quick charge technology for this phone?

I'd say yes, although may not be full QC3.0 speed (18W), but it gets pretty close. I got up to 15W at certain points.

So far, with a QC3.0 charger, for my unit
28-95%: 2 hours
50-100%: 1 hour

Someone else who posted previously got 2.5 hours for 3-100%.

Using choetech qc 3.0 charger to charge my max. From 3 to 100% takes around 2 and 1/2 hrs and as some1 mentioned previously, fast charge is supported but it doesnt seem to be true qc 3.0 speed.

On my yesterday flight with Jetstar called for passenger with samsung note 7 to off the phone at all time.. Not even to charge when off... Lol sibei satki Samsung Note 7 owner.

Copying mp3 files to MM from PC via USB File Transfer mode, keep getting this error:

Cannot copy filename.mp3
The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.

Phone is on though. Some files will clear, and some will get stuck at this. Anyone else getting the same error?

Edit: Looks like it was because it was connected to a USB3.0 port. Changed to a 2.0 port and seems to be fine now.

Guess no QC3.0 support. Unless you have a USB checker to confirm it did swtch to 12v for charging. Usually QC3.0 charger also has higher current at 5v, this is why you feel faster vs other charger.

This is due to battery design and manufacturing issue. Normally. It will get heated and burn but not exploding. How serious the burn will contain will depending on packaging design.
