Warning! Don't buy at android-sale.com

I made pretty bad experience with android-dale.com. If you think about buying Mi-2 at this store. Just forget it. After several delays I cancelled my pre-order for this phone. Although answering my Emails and telling me to refund, nothing happens. Hong Kong Police is already informed, but I'm not very confident that this will help.

Hope to prevent others to make the same mistake.

I havent seen any cases for the extended battery either - So far I've only seen cases for the standard battery.

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

It works well on at&t - no complaints here. I should note that there is no LTE, which is not something that is an issue to me. Speeds and voice have been solid and has been getting as good if not better connections than my work phone (iPhone 4S)

No idea about T-mobile -
[Xiaomi Mi 2] reasons:
Thanks. 3G is still good though right? Only "heavy" data I use is streaming music from my server w/ subsonic. Also, if it' s not too personal, about what do you pay/month?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
It's running well on at&t's HSDPA - I stream some stuff from youtube on my drive home to work and there is only one area I tend to have issues (and this also happens on my iphone 4S as well)

I'm on a plan that's discounted through my employer (my work phone is on at&t as well) - so it's not necessarily comparable.

Would this device work on T-Mobile in the United States?

Does it have text to speech in English?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
The mi-2 bands are:

2G,GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

3G,WCDMA 850/1900/2100MHz

It doesn't have T-Mobile's 1700, but does have 850/1900 for 2G. I think T-Mobile uses both 1700 and 1900 for 3G/HSPA, so I'm not sure how well it will work without the 1700 band as they're not my provider.

[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
This may be the case with some Chinese manufacturers, but I do not believe this to be the case with Xiaomi.

1. They've only been producing phones a short-while and have had supply issues with the demand they have in China alone

2. They have begun exporting the Mi-2 to Australia and the UK and have expressed further interest in expanding (including into the US)

3. Their have been tear-downs of the Mi-2 and its internal components showing that it has everything that it is supposed to and that they've use high-end parts: http://www.chipworks.com/blog/recen...iliar-on-the-outside-different-on-the-inside/

I believe the reason they are not wide-spread yet is that they are a growing company - I expect we'll see and here more of them internationally in the coming years.

Ever heard of RealpricesfromChina?

As everyone here, I've been searching for a trusted way to get this amazing smartphone out of China. Yesterday I discovered a site:

realpricesfromchina.com

And they only ask $10 US on top of the original price. That is the best deal I've seen by far, but I'm not sure if this can be trusted. The site looks legit with several ways for payment, several options for shipping. So my question is, has anyone here have any experience with them? If so, please let me/us know. Thanks in advance.

[Xiaomi Mi 2] ermacwins:
Its beyond me on how they decided to leave out micro sd support. BUT apparently there will be 32GB version as well.

Just need a way to import to UK. Will wait for 32GB
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Vangarm:
Personally I don't need 32Gb of storage. I have an 8Gb SD card and I don't even use half of it. That might be, because I don't play tons of games on my "smart"phone (Samsung Wave; can't call it smart when there are no proper apps for it). I don't need 1000 hours of music or videos. When I travel, the longest time I'm on the road, is about 2 hours. The only thing I mind of not having a SD-slot, is a possible back-up problem. But there are ways around that, like cloud/synchronize-servers.

Back to my earlier question: Has anyone ever heard of or had any experience with realpricesfromchina.com? Since they have the best deal on the Mi2 and other chinese phones.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] ermacwins:
Well since the phone is HD, personally I would like more storage because of vid recording, HD vids, games, apps etc.

While the price from realpricesfromchina.com seems very good, I wont risk it with them. Doesn't look profession and would go with someone who is established even if they prices is $100 more just for reliability. Rather pay more than lost $300 on a gamble.

Its not just the app drawer. It is the whole UI and yes it would hold up in court. Look at the apple suit that made Samsung change the icons. Everyone knows MIUI is an IOS wanna be.

[Xiaomi Mi 2] mine420:
I do see how it is like ios other than no app drawer. I'd use apple phones I'd they were more like miui. With themes and toggles and being able to add abt launcher I want. I would think dimensions would get them in trouble first since size and shape is very similar.

I assume you are using the stock MIUI OS that came with the phone and you are not in China -

You have a couple options:

1. You can install a MIUIandroid ROM w/ Gapps which will connect to GPS outside of China: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/a-simple-update-guide-for-xiaomi-m2.18942/

and finally why the full version cant found

oneway roads and road signals ...

Never used that app so can't say specifically but a couple questions/troubleshooting. Are you using MIUI direct from xiaomi because i have heard that it has issues with GPS/location outside of china.

as for your last question i would say contact the developer of the app about that...maybe even contact them about the whole issue since you say the trial worked perfect and now it does not...

I have 4 MI2 phones flashed to latest version

And in all the phones i have low mic when use in normal call, when im using speaker the other side hears good even far from me, but in normal it's just terrible that i went back to my s3

If i move a bit the other side almost cant hear me at all

It's 100% not a hardware / mic problem- im sure, it's just a config of noise cancellation mod or gain value on ear mode
[Xiaomi Mi 2] boojay:
I'm the opposite, I've noticed issues with the mic on speakerphone (people can't hear me well, but I hear them), however, no problem during normal use. Not sure if it's related, but unless I speak sternly and a with a little more volume, Google Now is often incorrect. This was never the case with my old phone.

Otherwise, this phone has been goddamn near perfect!

Thank you, I hope it's only matter of time...heard something about a "locked xiaomi" kernel, with no released sources...

Now I'm really confused on which device to buy.... I can buy Mi2 for 430€ or the honor2 u9508 2gb-ram for 320€...also on huawei there's no cyano yet, but they should release 4.1.2 and kernel with their relative sources.

What would you recommend?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] MetalsTool:
@francescod:

If you plan to buy Xiaomi M2, I highly recommend you sciphone.fr where you can get Mi2 for 330€ (=370€ including DHL shipping+VAT). I say that because in my opinion, 430€ is starting to be too much, knowing that Mi2 is sold around 250€ in China.

Otherwise, concerning sciphone.fr, this is a French seller living in China and he has sold many Mi2 since November 2012. Many french people bought from him, including me, and we all have been pleased. He can test device before shipment also so it's really a good deal in my opinion.

Moreover, I also bought a Honor 2 before but it was really too large, unlike the Mi2 which can stand in my hand easily. The formfactor is much more better for the Mi2. Despite that, the Honor 2 is quite smooth and you can't feel the difference of power in common uses.

Feel free to ask for any question ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 2] francescod:
Thanks for your info.

On sciphone.fr the Mi2 32gb would costs me about 390€.....(now it isn't available!)...while, in my country Italy, I can take it for 430€....yeah 40€ more, but with a little support if something bad happens. I really like the "small" dimensions and obviously its raw power!

On the Honor2 (320€) I like the stereo and so powerful speakers, the sd-card expansion, 4.5" lcd and maybe one of the most relevant aspect to me: it could be supported by cyano community, or at least, with the kernel sources some cyano-aokp roms could be made....

I really don't know......now I'm on atrix with aokp 4.1.2....but officially is stuck on 2.3.6!
