Hi, I just bought a M1 and when its working its amazing! But, the problem is, the wifi connection 80% of the time had error and so I cant connect to the internet. Also, I cant boot up the phone by pressing the power button, I have to take out the battery then put in the charger then wait for the MI to come up then I can switch it on. When I put in the battery, it will continue working but the moment I take the charger cable out, it switched off and I cant turn it on. It shows a blinking orange light after and most of the time. What can i do?
Wifi Problems, not charging......

how did you get it to charge then? same thing happened to me too.
i plugged it in before going to bed.
woke up next morning seeing that it did not charge at all, and the battery is at 0%
unplugged it, and it turned off, wont even turn on.
i swapped a new battery in, and it worked for a week.
then this morning same thing happened again.
now i'm plugging it directly into the computer, and it blinks red....hopefully it charges..
the thing is..it can turn on when plugged in + battery taken out.
need to buy a separate battery charger...

after browsing the chinese sites, it seems to be a VERY common problem wit mi-phones.
this is a case of dead battery due to the following conditions.
- phone will turn off if battery < 4%
- phone will NOT turn off if connected to power source.
- faulty phone fails to charge(sometimes) ... loose connection maybe?
- a battery that becomes completely discharged is dead.
- phone runs an app
- user plugs it in and went to bed
- phone detects connection, but FAILS to charge.
- app keeps running as user sleeps.
- battery < 4% but refuses to turn off because it is connected to power source
- battery becomes absolutely drained.
good thing the batteries are only 100RMB each.. doesn't hurt too much >.<
i am able to boot into recovery mode without the battery though

It is very interesting how they set:
"Not turning off when phone is connected" as a HIGHER priority than "Turn off phone when battery is under 4%".
if only they switched it around, it would protect our phones against faulty charger/faulty boards...
which doesn't charge when connected.
Nah, i live in the USA.
i got lots of relatives going back and forth to china though.
have a cousin going back next month, going to bring back a HongMi for my mom.
probably grab some MHL cable and new Mi batteries for me
i'm waiting for the next mi3s or something like that before upgrading...which i'm sure they'll release sometime in spring..
they always release a new one every half year...lol
