Hey guys, I'm struggling to find a good replacement for my old Xiaomi Mi Max 3. I'm currently using a Xiaomi Mi 11 something or other, and while I like it, I miss the screen size of the old Mi Max 3. They have discontinued that series but I'm hoping to find a new phone that's similar in some ways: - Relatively cheap (under $800 AUD or so, I'm lenient) - Large screen - Higher refresh rate (90hz+) - Decent speakers would be nice, I don't use headphones in bed - Good battery life (Mi Max had 5500 mAh, so around there) - Something with a bit of a lifespan, I'll use it for at least 3 years - Android (I'm used to MiUI but any android will do, not a fan of iPhones) I don't care about the camera at all, and I won't do any gaming or heavy use whatsoever. I only use my phone to scroll instragram and watch shows in bed, and listen to music. Hopefully there are people out there who appreciate a good phablet and have some suggestions for me to check out. Thanks in advance for the help!

xiaomi Can i skip wifi while setting up my xiaomi mi a2?
vital_fresh posted a topic in Phones and Tablets
I had some problems with my mi a2, and i did a factory reset (i think, it was some time ago), and now while setting up it can't find my wifi, i know there is notthing wrong with my signal because it's working on my laptop, and theres no option to skip wifi in the xiaomi setup, so now i can't get into my phone. I've looked into things like using android platform tools to maybe do something, but it seem like i have to do something with my phone to get it to work, and i cant get into my phone.Anyone got any advice? -
Hi, I bought this TV on amazon - https://www.amazon.in/Redmi-inches-Ultra-Android-L50M6-RA/dp/B08Y55LPBF/ref=sr_1_4?crid=5V76LX1SG721&keywords=realme+tv&qid=1643346053&sprefix=realm%2Caps%2C629&sr=8-4 I knew that it would be terrible, it's a TV for a school anyway, but it claims to be Dolby Vision. The only time I saw pure blacks was when the backlight was off (duh). And except that it was edge lit, how can a Dolby Vision TV have a backlight? Don't you need pure blacks? Over that, it's not even IPS. They don't even disclose the display technology. It absolutely looks like a scam but it is by Redmi, a Mi brand, and I'm surprised they're getting away with this. Any idea how?

I have a Redmi Note 4(mido). One day it suddenly froze (while watching ltt video by coincidence), and started boot looping on MI screen. I had not installed any custom rom or unlocked the bootloader, so I couldn't even flash twrp and get data back. I had to send it to a repair person who somehow reset the android and got it working, however all my data is erased and I don't have any backup of that data I have switched the phone off from the time I have got it to prevent any data overwriting. Can anyone tell me how can I get my data back? (It would be very helpful If I could do it for free) Edit:- I also have a laptop (I don't know whether telling this will help)

I was wondering on which phone i should get. Between Redmi Note 11 Pro 5g and Mi 11 lite 5g NE (both are pretty much the same price).Mi 11 lite has a better cpu, smaller battery size and 90hz display, and a better camera recorder (64Mpx but 1080p at 120fps and 4k at 30fps). While Redmi Note has worse cpu, better battery size and 120hz display and worse camera recorder (108Mpx but only 1080p at 30fps). Now i dont care about those thing that much i can live with them but i know that Xiaomi has software restrictions between their pro and non pro models. And they have restrictions beetwen their "budget" Redmi lineup and their "flagship" Mi lineup. So i am more concerned about the software side of things like Android support and MIUI support.

Hi! We just transferred to a new condo and will be getting cable internet soon (25DL/2.5UL Mbps). I'm looking into buying a separate router as the provided 2-in-1 modem/router has really shitty WiFi. I'm already pretty much decided on the TP-Link C1200 which has everything I need and costs only around 70$. I am also a big fan of TP-Link as their UI is simple and easy to follow which means it's also alot easier to configure. I've had 3 TP-Link routers and so far I'm pretty satisfied with them. Just satisfied though, not amazed or anything haha. However, I found this sweet little router from Mi which only costs around 20$. It's already AC1200 but without gigabit LAN. I don't really NEED gigabit LAN as my internet speed isn't even near 100Mbps, but it is a big advantage when it comes to filesharing and streaming media from my PC to my AndroidTV (Mi Box). But, I really am a sucker for cheap bang-for-buck stuff (I have tons of Mi products) and it seems this Mi Router is one of those. Sadly I couldn't find a decent review about it. Most reviews are sketchy and seems to oversell the product without concrete proof of testing. So far my devices are as follows: Main Rig (AC 867 Mbps) - will probably be wired to the router. iPhone 5s old Macbook Pro (2013??) Dell XPS15 (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000) Huawei P9 (EVA-L19) Mi Box 3 The condo is a 2-floor flat with the router on the first floor and most of the devices mostly spread in the rooms on the second floor. Anyways TL;DR, does anyone have any experience with this "Mi Router 3". It seems too cheap for what it offers but hey, Mi products are usually like that (I have a Mi Band 2, a Mi Box 3, and a Xiaomi Hybrid Earphones)

Both of these two devices use Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. But their performance is different. How about make a video about these two devices? And which one is more cost-effecive?

I was trying to install stock rom on the MI A2 after installing RR rom. MiFlash said "flashing is not allowed for critical partitions" and when i did "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" from cmd i got "remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed". I then used the allinone tool from xda and pressed "lock loader" to unlock it again and ended up bricking the device as it now shows "your device is corrupt. it can't e trusted and will not boot" I can't enter recovery either only fastoot and nothing works. PLEASE HELP FAST

this will be my first review ever on this forum, and why not about the phone I've been using for about a month now? My beloved huawei p8 lite wasn't working properly anymore, so i needed a replacement, and i had some money for it. so i wanted something high end, and came out after a discussion here on the forum to get myself a xiaomi mi8 in white. I'll be listing my positive, neutral and negative feedback here, based on my own use, no reviews or anything, just my own experience. Unboxing: the unboxing starts with a couple items: Quickcharge 3 charger type c to 3.5 inch headphone jack the phone (duh) a case manual Screen: the screen is a beautiful OLED display, which I enjoyed really well because it's my first one, the blacks are black, the whites are whites and everything looks what I would like to see. The little problem with it is that it is a bit of a weird resolution. It's a 18,7:9 screen, which makes some content have black bars or not being fully visible, I know this is the case with any 18+:9 screen, but I wanted to adress it. Sound: the sound is nothing special. the speaker is loud, but only buttom firing and as on many phones low quality. They are loud enough to frustrate my little brother, but just of a quality I would rather get my headphones to watch a video... if I could at least. my dongle broke after a week of use because i bent it, so I have to borrow my mothers bluetooth headset. Security: the security of the phone is in android 9 really nice. You can use face unlock or fingerprint, and you don't really have to wait around for it to unlock, because there's no swiping or pressing required. The only problem with the fingerprint is that it can react when your hand is in your pocket, but that's about it Android: MIUI is something you either like or you don't, just like with EMUI. I personally love them both as I don't need the perfect stock experience, and they work around the same from my expierence. They have done a great work on it, but the only thing I would want to change is the bloatware that comes with it. You get mi cloud and some other Xiaomi apps that I won't be using any time soon, as I have my own solutions for it already, and if possible I would have deleted them. I had some small problems with updating to android 9, because I had to manually press update, which is as far as I know uncommon. One thing that did annoys me should be menioned, it sounds like a little thing, but it has been pretty frustrating. when I hold my phone in landscape and I want to paste something into chrome (a website for example) I get the paste button on the spot where the back button is. You can alternatively download the Poco launcher in the play store, it's a lot cleaner. Design/ports: The mi8 looks great with both a front and back glass panel, with my model being in white. It feels really nice, but I recommend using a case, as the camera module is sticking out a bit. The case that came with it is minimal for what it is, but it's fine for my own use. All the ports that can be found is a type C 2.0 for up to Qualcomm Quickcharge 4, and can be used for sound too of course. Camera: I see a big difference here. The pictures are or really good, or just straight up blurry in the wrong hands. The phone uses Ai to make the photo optimal for the usecase, and gets it mostly right there, but I've seen other people trying to make good pictures with it, but failing with it. But that also happened with my Nikon, so it might just be them... The double lenses on both sides make for a great experience for me, but it's still not up to the level of a good camera. Speed: oh boy, let's get started here. Snapdragon 845 is one heck of a fast chip, it came out at 99th percentile in 3dmark slingshot extreme, and 39th of the world. my own performed better than most ones, and fully outperformed the Iphone X in opengl (benchmarks shown below), weirdly enough it seems to struggle in Vulcan, with a way lower score on it. The geekbench scores are a bit lower, but still pretty good. Conclusion: + great screen + hella fast + great camera + facial recognition but still a fingerprint sensor + for me a great ui + everything in the box + quickcharge 4.0 - ui not for everyone - some kind of weird aspect ratio - no headphone jack - single buttom firing speaker - weak headphone dongle benchmarks or other tests can be added on request

Hi guys, Just a quick one, I'm not sure if I should be posting this here but anyway, I'm looking at getting a drone soon and I was about to get a dji spark with the fly more combo, or a phantom 3, however I just stumbles across a drone made by xiaomi and it's 4K!, the mi drone is about $100 more with an extra battery, here in Australia compared to the spark, and the phantom 3 is about $230 more then the spark with only one battery, I just wasn't sure if I should get a spark or the xiaomi drone, any help would be greatly appreciated. ~Tom

I'm very disappointed with a couple of issues: 1 - Not so accurate white levels in screen (bluish tint) 2- No OTA yet (hoping to get fast charging and below fprint problem resolve soon with that) 3- Fprint reader sucks (takes 1-1.3 secs on avg) (not enough load...only 180 avg. apps installed) 4- laggy, stuttery, and slow performance overall (app animations are so damn laggy) 5- Camera app hangs at video rec. times 6- volume/ringer/alarm/media bar doesn't disappear after 1.5-2 secs. (takes forever or around 1 minute to self close)!! 7 - RAM usage never goes below 3.1 GiGs (Already the phone is advertised at 4gb) I'm still cautious about: 1 - I'm a fan of restoring to previous customized state so that after reformat/full wipe, i don't need to do the same hassle and start over. 2 - I wanna root my device but for only and only my favourite audio player viz. "Poweramp alpha build 704" (because of it's exquisite variety of settings and customizations ?). So I just want to ensure proactively if my device will whether return to normal state (as formerly unrooted) or not? Want a detailed and expert reply. ty in adv. ?

Hello, I can't make up my mind between The Xiaomi Redmi 3s and the Xiaomi Mi 4C. The Mi 4C is lighter, thinner and smaller than the 3s (which matters to me) but has a smaller battery and 16GB of non-expandable storage which might not be a problem but could be one in the future. I'm not sure about the performace, that's why I can't choose between them, the 3s has a octa core at 1.4 GHz and the 4C has a Hexa core (2 fast cores at 1.8 GHz and 4 cores at 1.4 GHz) and the 4C also has a higher resolution which could potentially make the performance worse and probably drains more battery life. Also has anyone bought from Geekbuying? I saw both phones almost two times cheaper than in my country on their site.

We already have a thread about the Xiaomi Mi Note, but the company also announced something I think is far more interesting. The Mi Box mini is a really really tiny Android (4.4.2) powered streaming box. Can we even calling it a streaming box? It's almost as small as the Apple wall wart. The only port on it is a HDMI port. You plug it straight into the wall and then run the HDMI cable (1.5 meter cable included) from it to your TV. Specs, cost and other stuff: Quad core Cortex A7 CPU at 1.3GHz (made by MediaTek). Mali-450 GPU (specs says "4+2core" so I assume the GPU is a dual core) 1GB of RAM 4GB of onboard storage (no microSD slot) Dual band 802.11n WiFi. It is nice to see them not cutting cost by removing 5GHz support like we saw Google do with the Chromecast. Bluetooth 4.0. A bluetooth remote is included as well as a 1.5 meter HDMI cable. Supports HEVC (H.265) video decoding. Dolby Digital Plus as well as DTS 2.0 are supported. ¥199 (about 30 dollars) Goes on sale January 20.

Uh oh, some not so great news for people who were hoping that Xiaomi wouldn't mess up and do something silly while trying to sell a phone. Apparently they have put in a rather dicey version of Android that is loaded with things that aren't so above board, yet Xiaomi claims the phone complies with the guidelines set forward by Google on what the OS is supposed to have. Given the allegations against Xiaomi in the past, I'm not entirely inclined to believe them that this was some mistake. You only get to use that excuse so many times. http://thehackernews.com/2015/03/Xiaomi-Mi-4-malware.html?m=1 http://www.techworm.net/2015/03/xiaomi-mi4-comes-with-spy-adware-and-a-forked-android-os.html

I know this is more of a PC forum, but I figured that since most of you who have an iPhone/iPad probably have jailbroken it it would be great to have a thread dedicated to iOS7 jailbreaking and tweaking experiences So first of I would love to hear what tweaks you use that actually works with the Evasi0n7 jailbreak on newer devices? Since there isn't that many out there at the moment, any input would be great ;D Currently I'm using just a few myself; Usefull(ish) tweaks: -activator(beta) -CCControls -Five Icon Dock -TransparentVolume -iCaughtU Tweaks for fun/show off: -Barrel -FakeCarrier If anyone knows about anything more they would consider essential, please do share
