Is f/w 36 sluggish for you guys after updating ?

I rolled back to f/w 35 and every things pretty fast

For me, the V36 is better.
At least when switching from wifi to 3G.

Got a new 1s, first smartphone ever. Got some questions:

1. Anywhere that sells screen protector and casing at good prices? West side preferred, but central is fine too. Reputable shops are preferred.

2. Steps to take to secure the phone?

3. Can't find the folder to put custom ringtones and notifications?

Hi, any way to transfer downloaded files from the internal memory to the sd card? Say a downloaded movie from funshion.

Ps: the keyboard keeps closing as i type. Zzz.

3. How to use Custom Ringtones for your Phone - MIUI General - MIUI Official Community

I tried applying the screen protector myself on my tablet, but failed badly. I would prefer to go to a reliable shop which can help me apply the screen protector.

Hmm, the custom ringtones need to be on the sd card? Not possible for internal memory?

Here's a trick that you guys may want to consider when applying screen protector (SP) including, the cheapo $1++ ones.

Say you apply the SP and bubble forms or lint, dust and thumb prints gets under the SP what you can do is wash the SP with normal dish washing liquid and to dry it just place it in between the pages of a newspaper. Keep moving the SP to a dry part of the newspaper until it's totally dried and then simply, re-apply. Done it many times with 100% success.

Note not to dry with tissue or cloth you will end-up back to square one with lint, fine scratches and fine dust particles on the SP.

Take photo, appear in camera roll gallery.

Connect to PC, can't see **** capt'n! Photo folder is empty!

No SD card, just internal memory, default settings. No rooting, no extra ****. No MIU cloud or whatever.

WTF?

With my Samsung tablet, I can find my photos straight away. WTF is up with Xiaomi?

And not to mention that every darn icons are dumped onto the home screen instead of the app drawer for the MIUI. Really XiaoMi????

The contact names does not appear in whatsapp unlike other android phones. Redmi 1s only show the phone numbers and some with phone numbers (with a dash then name) e.g. 91234567 - John Tan

Is that a bug?

 

[battledome64]

Xiaomi you get what you pay for

My phone came with cosmetic defects and they refuse to exchange

The paint job was done badly

Gotta live with it

Customer service says too bad

As for the Whatsapp problem, go to
Security app -> Permissions -> Monitor App Permissions -> scroll down to 'Contacts' and allow Whatsapp to access your contacts list.
