[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Made both the CSC edit and the build.prop modification and no change so far. Currently running my own kitbash of the N7105XXDMC3 ROM and kernel.

Update: I finally got around to making it work a while ago: you actually need to factory reset the phone for the related CSC settings to engage.

For minimal hassle:

-Apply appropriate CSC edits to your ROM. (There was a so-called "universal enabler" that forced WB-AMR on all networks, leading to no in-call audio on incompatible networks, not good.)

-Backup your whole phone through CWM or TWRP

-Factory reset

-Skip through setup menus, check that WB-AMR is activated through service mode menus.

-Reboot to recovery and restore backup. Check that WB-AMR is still active, make a test call just in case.

Done.

It seems like you need to be running stock or something because I've been unable to get it working on 4.1.2 Jedi. Either that or there might be something we're missing. OP needs to clarify what rom/kernel/modem version he's using.

Hi! Congrats for your new phone. I wish I could have it too and I want to buy it , but I am afraid of fake ones.

-But I want to ask you what is the stock version of MIUI when you received it?

-Also is it stable? I mean is it crashing and giving FC so much and frequently?

-Do you void your warranty if you put unofficial MIUI ROM, which is not made and tested from experts from MIUI China?

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi 2] wei2005yh:
agree to you.im a Chinese Xiaomi2 user,i like the phone very much.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
It ships with MIUI running off of 4.1.1 and there is supposed to be an update coming through in the next month or so.

My original plans were to run stock android once I received the phone, but given the weekly updates and stability I've had with MIUI, I have not tried out stock as I felt it would be a step back.

As for the stability, I havent had any issues on the current version from miuiandroid.com (MIUI 3.1.25) - This version isnt the official Chinese version, but is a build from a group that supports MIUI outside of China - they turn around the China updates very quickly, address issues, as well as add additional language support. Mi-2 ships w/ Chinese and English only (and the English isn't perfect on the Chinese ROM)

That being said, I havent had any FCs myself.

As for warranty void, I don't believe there is an issue, but you're ROM choices are very limited - It is either a variation on the MIUI ROM or it is the stock JB ROM. Bootloader isn't unlocked so there aren't a ton of choices, but so far I have been enjoying MIUI much more than I had anticipated (with the addition of Apex Launcher).
[Xiaomi Mi 2] cjim:
I never tried APEX laucher as i am quite satisfied with buitin ui, maybe I need to have it a try
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
It definitely gives it more of an android feel (over iOS) while still getting the great features of MIUI.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] sere83:
Thanks for the review....

I own a Mi One myself and have enjoyed using it a great deal, MIUI has some really nice features, the only really let down on the M1 is the camera and the lack of jelly bean so far is a bit annoying.

I had thought about getting a nexus 4 for my next phone just for a change and the fact it has a larger display, but from what I have read the M2 camera seems to actually be superior to the Neuxs 4 so am starting to think that despite the smaller display the M2 might actually be the way to go again.

How would you say the camera compares to the Nexus 4? And how would you say performance compares to the nexus 4 in general ? I have read it has the same sensor as the GS3.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
I would say the camera is definitely better than the nexus 4 - overall I prefer the mi-2 over the nexus 4. more memory, bigger battery, resolution is great. the only thing i miss is getting fast updates of stock :/, but I've really come to like miui and is strong development.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] spunker88:
There is some reason they send items disguised as gifts, I've heard of places doing it before. I think it may have to do with customs or shipping price.

What I want to know is how is the build quality on this thing? I've been in the market for a high end phone without a gigantic screen and this phone has both of those qualities.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
Build quality is great - feels very solid and had a little weight to it. I like the size and feel a lot.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] ava1191:
hi, did you prefer the mi2 over the nexus 4? can i ask you why? thanks!! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 2] spunker88:
I imagine size is a big factor as the Mi2 has a 4.3" screen and is more compact than the 4.7" Nexus 4.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] NHS2008:
Hi, You say the bootloader is locked, is there any chance of it being unlocked in near future???

Cause I am using an Atrix 2 now which has a locked bootloader and my sister has Galaxy s Advance, and I am writhing now seeing all the cool custom roms and kernels with unlocked bootloaders!!

Also. How are the VIEWING ANGLES??? It really matters to me. I dont like devices which mess up colours when looked at from angles

(like when put on table top) Which is why I am more inching towards Galaxy S3 or hTC One x...

Thanks!!
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
I just replied to your post on the Xiaomi MI-2 thread - check for my response there.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
In all, I do prefer the Mi-2 over the Nexus. More memory (32gb vs 16gb on the Nexus 4,) better battery life, replaceable battery with extended battery option (3100 mAh,) great screen, better camera, and I've come to like MIUI (w/ the addition of Apex launcher)

The miss about the Nexus: slightly bigger screen, stock android updates directly from Google.

We have stock android available from Xiaomi, but it is still 4.1.1 - We'll probably see 4.1.2 sometime after the Chinese New Year.....
[Xiaomi Mi 2] 10basetom:
The Xiaomi Mi2 is an awesome bang for the buck, but Ibuygou.com is charging a $105 premium to get the phone. If you want a 100% genuine Mi2 and can have it delivered in China for pickup later, then you can go to http://www.xiaomi.com/mi2 and reserve one for 1999 CNY (available after Chinese New Year). My colleague's friend works at Xiaomi and they said Xiaomi is ramping up production for worldwide expansion, so supply shortages should be a thing of the past soon.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zyncks07:
benn using xiaomi MI2 for almost a week.

I'm using development rom 3.2.1.

I'm very satisfied with this phone right now
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
The issue is that most people do not have a place in China to have the phone shipped to and then picked-up - While ibuygou charged a premium (as most retailers/resellers do) they were able to ship it to me within the US and shipped the 100% genuine phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] NHS2008:
I am gonna make some Chinese friends on FB...:victory:
[Xiaomi Mi 2] joint_one:
Hey, mymellowman,

Can you test Mi2 with Androbench and post results here?

Thanks in advance :)
[Xiaomi Mi 2] dodger the second:
Bench results

This is from my Mi-2 running MIUI 3.5.3

This is my daily driver, so I have skype, whatsapp, etc running, the usual heap load of junk installed (games, utils, etc) plus Go launcher and a Sony launcher (gotta love those sony weather widgets :D).

I did not optimize anything for the benchmark. WiFi was on and 3G was off.

Here's what I got:

Sequential read: 61.88

Sequential write: 10.52

Random read: 11.74 MB/s, 3007.38 IOPS

Random write: 1.05 MB/s, 269.41 IOPS

SQLite Insert 83.42 TPS, 3.59 sec

SQLite Update 117.73 TPS, 2.54 sec

SQLite Delete 121.06, 2.47 sec

Browser 112.75 msec

Market 339.25 msec

Camera 343.5 msec

Camcorder 868.25 msec

Some curious discrepancies when comparing results with other phones.

What intrigues me is that it seems to be faster than the Nexus 4, especially on Antutu (I get between 21100 and 21600), although the hardware appears to be identical.

My only complaint is the GPS. I also have a Galaxy S3, and the gps on that one definitely seems more accurate and gets faster locks.

Apart from that, I'm very pleased with this phone.

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 2] dodger the second:
Yeah, I heard it might get the snapdragon 800.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] dodger the second:
Guys, a little update on those scores I posted:

As you may know (or not) the xiaomi Mi2 has two systems (if one fails you can boot into the other). They share all apps.

Today I decided to flash Wiui (no, that's not a typo) onto system 2. Wiui is a tweaked version of Miui for all I know.

Ran the benchmark again and some values changed. Now they are as follows:

Sequential read: 49.1

Sequential write: 8.93

Random read: 7.94 MB/s 2034.37 IOPS

Random write: 0.88 MB/s, 227.05 IOPS

Camcorder 1003.0 msec

Go figure... SQLite scores changed drasticaly
[Xiaomi Mi 2] szukai:
So I had to dig around to find this thread, as so far the Xiaomi doesn't really have it's own forum. Understandable given how under-the-radar it's been. But what's the development and support community like? (As in, where is it?)

Does it support mhl?

I came from a S2 and I'm literally looking for a lateral upgrade/replacement. As mentioned all newer-gen phones are clunkier and bigger, and with the prices for the Xiaomi it got my attention.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] dodger the second:
Mi-2

Development-wise it's great or terrible. I'll explain. They're kernel is closed, so nobody, apart from them, is allowed to develop. (in fact this pissed off a moderator here, since they don't respect gpl, it "breaks XDA rules" so he closed the thread)

However, they do a very good job on development. We get a new release every Friday, and the guys at Miuiandroid (Miui is the xiaomi rom) do a really good job in translation. So practically every week we have fixes and/or new features.

mhl, well, some say they have it. I have a Mi-2 (awesome phone) and it doesn't work. But since they come out with a new release every week, I have hopes...

Flashing the device is a piece of cake.

If you go over to miuiandroid you can get a lot more info on the Mi-2 and Miui. I'm just a noob.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mymellowman:
I think Dodger said ti pretty well.

You will get almost no support here at XDA for a couple reasons. - Older versions of MIUI (android ROM) didnt respect GPL and (more importantly) since they keep everything locked you find little to no 3rd party non-MIUI support. (i.e. You'll be using a MIUI rom or a stock Jellybean rom (4.1.1) released by Xiaomi)

If you are happy with MIUI, then this device is awesome. I'm not a huge fan of the MIUI look, so I use Apex launcher which allows me to use a great, stable rom with many added features while ditching the ios look that I don't like.

I don't use MHL, but I'm pretty sure it supports it.

All-in-all, I love the mi2 and would definitely recommend this and other Xiaomi devices. The mi3 should be coming out later this year and the specs are even better.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
Its not just older versions of MIUI. The company itself doesnt follow the GPL but that is not all of it. There are many reasons why thye will not be allowed here. Included taking the work of other devs and not giving back to the community. This is part of the reason why they are having so many issues porting the latest version. Developers are putting code into their kernels to check if it is being used on MIUI and if it detects it is then it causes issues and breaks things.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] dodger the second:
Zelendel! You're the very guy I was talking about :D (Sorry I forgot your name, but I had read the other thread only once and then lost it)

It's good to know about this stuff. Is there any place we can get some more info on this? Any reading you recommend?

I for one, didn't know what xiaomi was getting up to. If they're not allowed here it must be for a reason and we should all know.

I always had the impression they (xiaomi) are trying to be the chinese version of apple. Just never had solid evidence (apart from graphics).

You see, I love apple's visuals, but hate the company's philosophy, ergo, I don't support them. So I was well on my way of becoming a miui fan, but if they're going to be the same, then it's one less fan they have here.

So if you have any interesting links to share, go ahead Zelendel :)
[Xiaomi Mi 2] xXxWOExXx:
MIUI source is on github, the kernel is not public by now and the kernel gets updates every week like the ROM itself.

I'm not a dev but i think it could lead to some problems if the devs want to get their work up-to-date...
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
Part of the reason they are not allowed here is that they do not follow copyright laws or the GPL. The GPL you can look up easy enough. It requires all kernels to have Source code for the kernel to be available upon request. It is well known among developers that they take, take and take from other developers without giving back. They even stated that their OG roms were based on CM coding. Of course they removed all posts from their site stating this. Thye are known for taking the code from other kernels to make their rom boot. This is why they are seen as a joke, there are also other issues as to why alot of people dont trust them. While these Security issues have not been proven I dont think they should be taken for granted. No company comes out of nowhere and has the money to do what they did. It is rumored they have a huge Chinese Gov backing. This makes people uneasy due to the fact that it is well know that they are allowed to monitor personal information and telecommunications.

No MIUI is closed sourced. All that is on the Github is some patches to make porting roms easier for the people that support them.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] dodger the second:
That was the kind of confirmation that I was looking for. Since I'm not a developer (just don't have the time:eek:) I'm not aware of all the things that go on backstage. I was suspicious of them (but then again, I don't trust any corporation (THAT is something I know about)) because, as you said, their quick ascension does raise some eyebrows. I mean, they've been in the market for what, 3 years? And they offer best in class hardware? I think they were one of the first to put out a quadcore Krait device. That's no small feat. I've also heard that they get chinese gov. funding. How else could they offer those prices? And have you checked they're cloud service? i.xiaomi dot com (ok, that's spelled out because I'm not allowed to post web addresses) It's such an obvious apple ripoff.

Anyway, thanks.

They might be the bad guys, but they're sure dressed up in white. It's hard not to be attracted to their hardware specs and price.

Can't a little more be done here at XDA to warn newcomers that those guys hurt the community?

I've been around here for a little over a year and you're the first one I see to bring this to light.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
We are working on removing them from the site completely.

As for the hardware don't trust everything you read. Slot of times these devices don't have what they say they do.

If I was gonna order something like this I would shoot for the Oppo 5.

hello! I am Chinese xiaomi2 s users. xiaomi2 or 2 s, it has become backward product, because the new xiaomi 3 will be available to the public. In China, xiaomi mobile phone is not good to buy, at least you want to go to "seize" (millet company marketing strategy), is set limit to snap up online, if you have foreign friends want to buy the xiaomi mobile phone, I can do an intermediate (if enough to believe that a friend network), and then send you the past, of course you can also go to millet to snap up official website, but should not send abroad.

朋友们你们好！我是中国的小米2S使用者。无论是小米2还是2S,它都成为落后产品，因为新的小米3将问世。在中国，小米手机也不算好买，至少你要去“抢”（小米公司的营销策略），都是限量网上抢购，如果有国外的朋友们想买小米手机，我可以做一个中间者（如果足够相信一个网络朋友的话），然后给你们寄过去，当然你们也可以去小米官方网站去抢购，不过应该邮寄不到国外。
