The Official Xiaomi Thread

I doubt we'll see it here - maybe at the end of its life cycle. MIA have not had good sales success with flagship Xiaomi's - both Mi4 and Mi5 were low number sellers and as can be seen by the R2999 sell off of the last remaining Mi5 stock, MIA would do well to concentrate on value for money midrangers rather.

It's probably due to the fact that MIA priced the "flagships" at ridiculous prices, where you could get one from Gearbest or Sunsky with shipping for almost R2k cheaper then they'd stock it for. So yeah perhaps if they had the MiA1 at roughly the same price as the Note 4 it would've sold better, but no they had it at R5k??
 
So my poor phone took another hit to the screen yesterday and it’s screen is officially dead. It turns on but can’t see anything : anyway to do data transfer off the phone. Normally when you connect to PC, you need to choose transfer mode. Not seemingly getting anything on the PC :(
 
Just took my phone out from charge and lost like 10-20% within like a minute or so. If i could go back to the miui the phone came with, i would :/

Does a factory reset restore to an older miui version?

For some reason the MIUI files download really slow over Telkom LTE...I have these files if you need, pop me a PM and I'll put them up on Dropbox or something for you

Use a free VPN app like VPN melon, boosts my downloads of xiaomi updates. Otherwise it crawls painfully.

I paid total of about R350 for customs, VAT, handling etc. On the Redmi Note 5 4/64 version.
