    Downgrade to V4

    Nice, I figured that would be the case. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll just have to deal with V5 for now. It seems all the "new" features and add-ons in V5 are all fluff. I found V4 to be more polished.

    Downgrade to V4

    I've run into the same problem. Was using a MIUI V4 rom, decided to finally try a V5 rom, didn't like it and wanted to revert back. I followed Wajk's instructions and made sure to flash JLB 3.0 first before flashing a V4 rom, but now I'm stuck on the white Mi logo with no way to boot or get into...

    [ROM] Marvin [English\Multilanguage] Xiaomi MI2/S [8.11]

    Here are my initial thoughts: It is blazing fast as advertised so far, this is especially noticeable after I've restore my 200+ apps, and this ROM has not missed a beat. Turning the phone off and booting it up is the fastest I've ever seen a phone turn on under these conditions. All operations...

    Mi3

    Name another high end 4.3" that's available on the market right now. High end 5" phones are as follows: HTC Butterfly/Droid DNA Sony Xperia Z/ZL Samsung Galaxy S4 LG Optimus G Pro Oppo Find 5 And there are just as many 4.7" choices. Your turn. Swyped from my Mi 2

    Here's the thing though, if you like a 5" phone there are already many available to you. Swyped from my Mi 2

    Mi3

    It's almost like phone makers have completely ignored the fact that form factor plays an incredibly important role when it comes to people's preferences. One of the primary reasons why the iPhone is so popular is because of its size. That's not to say they need to make androids that small, but...

    Mi3

    vr-zone.com/articles/xiaomi-mi3-shows-up-on-antutu-scores-84000-score/20331.html Specs sound great (as is expected of Xiaomi), but if the 4.7-5" screen is true, than my relationship with Xiaomi will be short lived and end with the Mi2. Unless they can keep the phone as small as the Mi2 or...

    Why did you choose the Mi2(s)

    I've used many androids before and have flashed countless roms, looking for the perfect mix, and while that was fun and informative, I grew tired of the instability and uncertainty with each flash. With the Mi2 (with MIUI or WIUI), I've had no such concerns. It's been a pleasant experience and...

    Why did you choose the Mi2(s)

    I wanted a phone, not a phablet. Today's high end devices are all gargantuan in size it's almost comical, but manufacturers continue to build smartphones designed for elephants (see Samsung commercial for proof). Xiaomi is one of the few companies who still believe in making reasonable sized...

    Wow, is that with the regular 2000 mAh or the extended 3120 mAh battery, Wajk? Swyped from my Mi 2

    3.4.12

    I don't want to say anything bad about XDA because honestly, it's been a very good community to me and very helpful. The folks there have saved me numerous times and I'm truly thankful for the help. That said though, this forum is clearly superior in almost every way, from the the support to the...

    3.4.12

    ingbrzy You like how zelendel from xda closed the Mi2 thread because he doesn't like/is jealous of our phones? LOL! I reported him, but I'm pretty sure nothing will happen. Talk about sour grapes... Swyped from my Mi 2

    Wajk, just wanted you to know that WIUI 3.2.22 + Greenify (hibernating Google Play Services) = battery life gold! I've attached a couple of screenshots to demonstrate how much deep sleep and how little battery my phone uses while the screen is off. As for overall battery life and on-screen...

    Thanks in large part to the terrific development going in here! Your and MIUI android's work is greatly appreciated. Honestly, if I didn't stream so much media, I might even be able to stretch the on screen time to 10-12 hours! I think you're going to love the extended battery and I can't wait...

    I had my phone on Power Saving Mode and auto brightness all day for the first time. Extended 3120 mAh battery. Wifi, 3G, and GPS activated all the time. Greenify and Juice Defender installed. Edited (more info): At least 4 hours was spent streaming movies/TV, maybe even 5 hours. Of the 30...

    That's good. I figured there was a possibility I was the only one affected by this since I haven't heard of anyone else bring it up. Very unusual. It only hinders my experience slightly so I'm not that torn up about it. Swyped from my Mi 2

    After extensive testing over the past month or so, of all the roms available for the Mi2, I have to say I'm most pleased with WIUI 3.2.22. The Experimental version did manage to put my device into Deep Sleep much more often, but I can't say I noticed any real perceptible improvement in battery...

    Optimize Battery Life with Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru (Beta)

    It took 2 days for mine to exit learning mode. That said, ever since the learning period, I've noticed I've gone back to my old battery life, which is weird. I was definitely getting better life while it was learning, but now everything is just normal. If that's the case, I would just...

    Video calling in google talk doesn't work in any miui or stock rom.

    Two more apps that aren't working properly for me on MIUI are Netflix and Plex for Android. Netflix audio is out of sync and Plex control interface is not acting the way it should.
