    Welcome to the Xiaomi MI3 forum

    I've sent ibuygou a price match before, using the price from a local reseller in my country. I got my Mi2 from the local reseller and currently, the seller is selling the Mi3 64gb for approx $470 USD inclusive of shipping and local warranty. I've already booked one via my local seller since...

    so... whats new in v5?

    I've manually put together the stock JB font (Roboto Slim) for those who can't stand the huge stock V5 font. It's uploaded here: http://d-h.st/LDN It's .mtz format.. just update the theme when it prompts you to, then go to Mix>Font and select it.

    so... whats new in v5?

    So far V5 is working great.. I flashed the Roboto Slim font over it and now it looks much better. Not a big fan of gigantic fonts.. The calendar icon works, but I'm currently using static icons anyway.

    WIFI display?

    I've yet to receive the Mi-Box, but from what I know.. the interface will only be in Chinese.. not sure if it can be changed to English instead. Will definitely update here once I get to tinker with it..

    Xiaomi Mi2 Battery life better on JLB instead MIUI...

    Actually, I don't understand why some of you are getting bad battery from JLB 7.0.. I have a screenshot here.. whereby although I hardly use the phone that much, but I managed a 2 hour screen time with more than 3 days standby (WiFi, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth enabled). Even if I do use the phone a...

    Has anyone tried a 2600mAh extended battery?

    Normally it depends.. but I wouldn't trust a non tested extended battery due to 2 reasons: 1) Compatibility issues 2) The mAh might not be true.. for example, just like portable chargers reporting a capacity of 13000mAh, but in actual fact, it is only around 6000mAh or 6500mAh. So, if 2600mAh...

    Terrible battery life :(

    OK, I did an idling test on JLB 7.0 like jaypop's.. with WiFi on, but leaving it idling most of the time. Power mode is "normal".. I did bring the phone out, only to snap a few photos.. but other than that, not much usage. This is just to test the drain.. normal use would definitely drain the...

    WIFI display?

    I'm gonna test this out once my Mi-Box arrives. So far, no luck mirroring my phone's display via WDTV.. only video streaming and music works over apps like imediashare.

    My Mi-2 Review

    My HOX is in my drawer since I got MI-2. In fact, I found that the MI-2 is in every way better than the HOX.. even the camera.. but hey, it's just my personal preference. Thanks for the review!

    Xiaomi Mi2 Battery life better on JLB instead MIUI...

    I've yet to try JLB 10.0.. this is because I've read some feedbacks regarding the battery drain issue exists in the 10.0 version as well. I was initially on MIUIAndroid 3.1.11 and my phone heats up like a hot candy brick, coupled with the battery drain issue.. I used MiFlash to wipe and install...

    Xiaomi Mi2 Battery life better on JLB instead MIUI...

    Using JLB 7.0 with 2G only, and on and off WiFi usage.. I managed a 4 hours+ screen time.. The battery lasted for 1 day 12 hours+ with 9% remaining. Previously on MIUIAndroid, I only managed 2 hours+ screen time and battery lasted for around 9 hours+ with 2-3% remaining. I'm using the standard...

    I have everything turned on.. I even tried on 2G only + WiFi.. albeit drain slower, but still fast compared to JLB 7.0

    Terrible battery life :(

    As for my case, the 3G drains the battery really fast! Was using miuiandroid ROM.. then now switched back to stock JLB 7.0 and it seems the battery lasts longer.. even on 3G.

    Info needed on MIUI backup/restore

    Previously, what I did was.. after backing up my data and settings.. I would use the file explorer in MIUI and enable WiFi file transfer. Copy the "backup" folder located in "MIUI" folder on root to PC.. after that, upgrade or do a complete wipe and flash. Once done, I will then copy back the...
