So does anyone have any Xiaomi alternative suggestions? My primary reason for getting the Mi2 was because of the size, but now that we know its successor, the Mi3, is a gargantuan phone, I'm ditching Xiaomi. Even Meizu has gone mega size so it seems there are no options left for those of us who...

Yikes, that is an ugly phone. Really disappointed in Xiaomi. Swyped from my Mi 2

It isn't so much the thinness I'm concerned about, in fact, I like my phones thicker, makes it easier to pick up off of a table and hold. I even like the added heft of thickness, makes it feel like the phone is tough and worth something, not cheap and flimsy. It's the width of the phone that...

Yeah, I'm not too keen on protective cases. I do prefer rubberized feel for added grip, but one of my primary reasons for getting the Mi2 is because of the smaller size and ease of one-handed use. Making the phone bigger with a protective case defeats that purpose. I find all of today's...

Hey Craig, I'm actually referring to just the back plate, not the battery itself. I'm using the extended battery and know how awesome it is, but the back plate that comes with it is kind of ugly, IMO. Thanks for your input tho! Swyped from my Mi 2

UPDATED Sep. 23, 2013: Please see review of cases here. Hey guys, I'm looking for a replacement back cover for my Mi2, there's nothing wrong with the original one that came with the extended battery, I just want a change. So far, I've only been able to find two that interest me. This...

Hey Wajk, Firstly, congrats on your sister's new baby! Also, the secondary hot reboot doesn't really bother me. I've tried wiping all data and reflashing, but it still happens, it's not even an issue for me since I reboot my phone maybe once/twice a week. It also only happens on V5, not V4...

I thought I was the only one with that issue since no one else mentioned it. It doesn't bother me too much since I rarely reboot my phone and once it's settled down, there are no issues and it's silky smooth. Swyped from my Mi 2

LOL, I asked the exact same question almost word for word a few posts back. Your answer is also there. Swyped from my Mi 2

Great work, as always, Wajk! I'm curious though, since you've posted all these new mods/tweaks that are meant to super charge the phone, how come they're not implemented as part of your rom? I know you've said before you wanted to keep WIUI clean and I am certainly in agreement because it's...

Definitely agree with you, V5 is more pleasing to use and certainly more polished UI-wise, but at the cost of functionality. It's a shame MIUI decided to release an unfinished product and that it's taking so long to sort out the kinks. In any case, you've done great work with that's been...

You're probably right. I did try a couple of more floating apps that didn't work on V5, but did on V4. If you want something nice to look at and don't mind a slightly crippled system that's very good on standby, the latest versions are more than adequate. If you want every single one of your...

So after using MIUIandroid v5 for a month now (WIUI 3.6.14 up to 3.8.2), I've decided to flash back down to V4 (WIUI 3.2.22) and here are some similarities/pros/cons I'd like to report: The Similarities Both WIUI V4 & V5 have fantastic battery life. In fact, I might even get a bit better on...

Would also like to see some improvements in audio quality during video recording. The picture quality is great, but the sound leaves a lot to be desired. I would say it's currently average to slightly below average. Swyped from my Mi 2

I'm happy to report that battery life on WIUI 3.6.14 is pretty amazing. It's been almost two full days and I still have about 40% battery left (am using extended 3120 mAh battery) so with my current use, I should be able to go over 3 days with no problems. Albeit the use has been relatively...

Thanks for making a V4 downgrade available for us, Wajk! I still think your 3.2.22 version is the best, but I will give WIUI 3.6.14 a shot ;D

According to this: http://en.miui.com/thread-1885-1-2.html IMPORTANT : Once you updated to QDT07/JLB14/3.3.29 Then you can't downgrade to earlier versionsof V5 or V4. If true, that is bad news.....

Thanks leqqy, will look that up when I get home. V5 is just murdering my battery right now, LOL Swyped from my Mi 2

No worries, forget what I said about the menu search button. Once you reinstall Google Search it becomes an option. My bad. Excited to see where you will take this ;D Swyped from my Mi 2

If I decide to give downgrading another shot (and am successful), I will let you know.
