I already traded in my old phone when I bought the Xiaomi 11. :rolleyes: I just have the backup from Mi's software.

I just bought a brand new Xiaomi 11 flagship phone. After doing a full backup of my Xiaomi 9 to the cloud and then doing a full restore on my new Xiaomi 11, the Wi-Fi settings are completely gone. It didn't even recognize my home network. I had quite a lot of networks saved from work, friends'...

I'm about to buy a Xiaomi 6 to replace my Xiaomi 4. What are the hardware differences that will let me roam internationally? The Xiaomi 4 only got 2G service in America, and America is discontinuing their 2G network. Which kind of Xiaomi 6 has the greatest international capability?

For some reason, my phone has stopped showing up in the devices of Windows Explorer, so I can't just move files around. The Xiaomi software has a file explorer - of inferior quality and all in Chinese. It pops up automatically when I turn my phone on, but I don't want it. I used to be able to...

What I'm trying to say is that me and a lot of other people won't try unless we know what we're getting before we try. That's the real issue here.

It's a lot of work to try for myself. I might like it, but I'd really like to see what I'm getting before I try. Even if I do try it, how am I going to know what the new features are? I could go for months and never discover them, that's definitely happened to me before when I used to mod my...

No, I haven't, because there's not a good explanation of the differences. Read the thread, the advantages 1 - 13. None of them is particularly compelling. Reason #1 is the poor English, which may have been a problem in 2012 but I haven't noticed any problem in 2015. To you, the advantages...

Sure, you're supposed to download the ROM. But what does it do, exactly? Why is this site here? It's not really explained anywhere. I found a stickied thread on this forum "How is this different than miui.com?" but that was written back in 2012 and hasn't been updated. It seems the main...

Where do you download this from? It's not in Xiaomi's store.

So I just bought a Xiaomi 4 the other day. I'm pressing the button with three lines on it, and it brings up the task manager instead of the menu of whatever application I'm using. WTF? How do I get to the menu? I have software that depends on this function. I tried long-pressing the menu...

I've searched for how to install Google Play on my Xiaomi 4 and it says search for 'google' on Xiaomi store. However, the only search result is Google Input Method for writing Chinese. The Google Service Framework by Eric Xiang is not there. Searching for 谷歌应用下载器 returns no results. I...

I was just sitting around today when my Hongmi made that "reboot sound" from across the room. I ignored it because it's spontaneously rebooted a few times before. When I looked at my phone later, and it was still sitting at the "MI" booting screen. It never finishes. It takes a very long time...

The answer to localization problems is not "force users to use units with which they are not familiar". I'm sure it feels really good to let the Americans have it like this, doesn't it? "TAKE THAT!" Yeah, nobody is going to learn a different system of measurement in order to use a single...

In computing, internationalization and localization are means of adapting computer software to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization#Scope Paper sizes, currency symbols, writing...

It's non-localizable? That's disappointing. Isn't there a design document that requires localization?

I live in China, and like a lot of people I use fqrouter2 for a VPN from my phone. It works great. However, MIUI kills it all the time. I've tried marking it as a no-kill process (pull down on task manager screen) and it has the lock icon, but it doesn't help. How can I fix this problem?

Like Xiaomi would ever keep their documentation up to date, anyway. They just change things for the sake of changing them, then the users try to figure out why their apps don't work any more after update.

It's because Xiaomi ripped off GPL software and then refused to release the changes back to everyone. Typical Chinese thinking.

It's done by default by the Security application. It's a bad decision by Xiaomi, but you can't tell them anything, they think they know better than everyone.

In Xiaomi's latest update, there is a "Security" application. Click "data usage" and then "restrict". Your app has been blocked from this screen. Click the red X to enable data. Xiaomi introduced this problem and it's affecting a lot of people. It seems that all new apps installed after...
