What's your screen on time like?

I must really be bad on phones - my note 4 battery lasts about 14 hours.

My Redmi 4A battery performance also deteriorated drastically (not sure whether because I installed the developer firmware).

Oh in that case its gonna be they can not find your address. So you gonna have to find another postal code close to you that works.... may as well raise a ticket now and ask why its taking so long so you can get the ball rolling. Gearbest normally ships no more than 2 days after packing unless there is errors.

Yeah thats what I have been doing,there support consultant via the online chat said I should give them 24 hours so will wait till tonight and cancel the order if nothing happens....
They haven't said anything of the address so far and the guy on the online chat gave me a tracking no ,but I think they just created a waybill no

Amazfit is not worth it, can get way better Android Wear for just a couple of R extra. Also note the Amazfit is not a true Xiaomi device. Xiaomi bought the co and re-branded it.

I would either go full Android or skimp it and go for a Mi Band 2 like I did for just $21.

No they just partner with the company like they do with many other. Huami also makes their Mi bands.

Check if your phone is going into deep sleep

I have to watch Videos 24/7 to drain it within a day, so that is not right.

Screenshots of power (App + hardware) to prove you get it from 100%-0 in 14 hours cause I don't believe you

I haven't charged my phone since I got it.

Where do you see this. Sorry still can't figure out these settings sometimes

Never mind. Found it

 

[CamiKaze]

Never mind. Found it

These settings are quite something to get used to hey?
I was expecting an icon that displays all my apps, like on my Samsung Note 3...
On the Samsung, you have shortcuts to your apps.
On the Xiaomi, you actually just have the apps.

Unless you opt for a launcher like I did. Running Nova with Swipe up for App drawer and swipe right for Google Now.

I decided on doing this instead.

Best theme pack that you guys are running?

 

[The_Librarian]

Not really though. I like both platforms.... Both have pros and cons.

Are OS wars still a thing? Grow up already.

Just pulling your leg

 

[The_Librarian]

Just wow.

Anyways.

Pity the Asus launcher doesn't like the Xiaomi device.

Using the Nova launcher for now.

 

[PhireSide]

I found the Asus launcher too busy for my liking. I quite like the stock Google Now launcher but I still stick with MIUI for the most part
