Thanks for the review - of course the black cover that I like is the defective one.......

Looks like ibuygou has the second one bundled w/ a silicone case: http://www.ibuygou.com/p-original_keidi_3100mah_large_battery_cover_and_protective_case_for_xiaomi_m2s_smartphone-5470-usd.html It says it is for the M2S and doesnt mention the M2, but it looks like it is the same one that...

I don't know about this site, but I can tell you ibuyghou is trustworthy - my phone is legit and awesome. Great service from them as well.

Thanks for the workarounds - I don't rely too heavily on my G5, but when I need files I either Dropbox them or just drop the files on my macbook via my local network. This isn't necessarily a mi2 issue as much as an android ICS (and newer) issue. Previously you could connect an android device...

Also, while it doesn't apply to your macbook air, it is important to note that you will not be able to mount to a powerpc based mac (ie G5, G4, etc) - Intel macs are no issue with the use of android file transfer.

I chose mine based on the specs and the ability to use this phone on a dumbphone data & text plan w/ my provider. I have had numerous android phones prior to the mi2, but never used MIUI before. I've found it to be feature rich, great on battery, and very, very stable. I second boojay's...

If you read through the thread/forum, many have bought from them (including myself) and have nothing but great things to say - one of the most reputable sellers. If you purchase them together I think you may pay slightly more shipping than just the phone, but it wouldnt be as expensive as...

Agreed - I currently have a blue IMAK Cowboy quicksand case that I love (especially against the white back cover of the phone) - I would definitely buy one if they created it for the extended battery.

Thanks - This currently what I am on and has been treating me very well. I should be receiving my 3100 today or tomorrow. While I've been pretty impressed on the stock battery, I'm excited to see how far I can take this with the extended. Now if someone would work on some cases for the...

Are you still on JBL 7?

Stock Android (QCS) is released by Xiaomi - It is plain vanilla android so you can root and carries multi-language

Are you running Xiaomi 3.1.25 or Miuiandroid 3.1.25?

I'm on MIUIandroid and feel my battery life has been pretty solid, but I didn't spend much time on JBL so it is hard for me to compare. There's another thread where JBL 7/10 were compared to MIUIandroid that could give you some more insight. MIUIandroid and the Xiaomi developer Roms have root...

I would say there are three main ROMs that you'll see people over here talking about. 1. JLB Roms - These are the official stable ROMs put out directly from Xiaomi. I believe language wise they are only English and Chinese. Current version is JLB 11.0 2. MIUIandroid Roms - These are unofficial...

It never ends! :) I've definitely had my fair share of android challenges in the past - pretty happy with MIUI Android so I havent played around too much with the mi-2 -
