Mi2S Shuts off by itself

Bought Mi2S from their website directly about 4 weeks ago. I have already updated the OS twice over the air. I have this problem with my unit - that it turns off by itself for no apparent reason. I had hope that the OS update/tweaks would take care of this but it's still happening. I thought it could be hardware, perhaps the battery not firmly connected to the pins, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I have been looking around but have not come across user/owners with the same problem. Can anybody help with this?

Thanks!

I took the plunge and bought an mi2s from Ibuygou.com.

The shipping is fast and im really happy with the device. It works just fine on T-Mobile because I live in a 1900mhz modernized area. Speeds are similar to my galaxy nexus.

Just for everyone who reads this.. Be prepared to flash the miuiandroid ROM asap. It corrects a lot of the Chinese characters present in xiaomis "english" language setting. Also, the stock recovery sucks but there is cwm recovery which will allow you to dual boot miui and aosp if you want.

Its a great phone for a lot less than a gs4 or HTC one... With the same hard ware and soc. (32 gig, 13 mpxl cam, snapdragon 600).

Hope this is helpful for anyone who reads this.

[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
Android is all about being open and yet the reason they are even able to have a device is due to the open source kernel that they are required to release the source code for yet they refuse to do so. To be honest I couldnt care less about MIUI. Its all about the kernel source code that they refuse to release. This is main reason why the company will never have a device with a forum here.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] leledumbo:
The phone is quite difficult to get outside China, so most won't pick it up.

Have a look here to better understand how Android is licensed and why it is required to make it open source.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
I am fully aware of all the licenses that android is under. The only part that is required to be open source is the kernel. Which they refuse to release

I'm really interested in this phone and looking to order it in the next couple of days from ibuygou.com (to the UK)

Just a couple of questions.

What type of sim card does this take (Standard, Mini, Micro)?

If i get the 16GB version how much space is actually available?

Is it easy to switch the language to English?

Whats the 8MP Camera like on the 16GB model (I've got the HTC Sensation XE so if anyone knows how it compares that will be great)

Can i use all standard Google apps on it (Google Keep, Gmail, calender, Hangouts, Whatsapp, all my games etc)

Can the storage be expanded?

What version of android does it run (Jelly bean, 4.1, 4.2?)

Does Google Now work on it well in UK/Europe

Is there anything else worth knowing? (Issues etc)

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 2] leledumbo:
Standard

Around 12-13 maybe. My 32 GB has >28 by default, but you can have more by uninstalling bloatwares

Very easy, it will ask you at the first boot

No idea, I only have 32GB one

Yes

No

4.1.1

No idea, it does in Asia though

Autosync is not available in the settings, it's only accessible through toggles in status bar

Profile management apps (MyProfiles, Profile Scheduler, etc) doesn't work very well on volume control (even after the app is set to trusted)

It has its own permission & autostart management system, separated from standard Android ones, check the respective apps if you have problem running some apps requiring certain permissions

Maybe more, but that's all I remember ATM
[Xiaomi Mi 2] catashtrophe:
Thanks for the reply

How is the camera on the 32GB phone you have?

As someone who's has strictly used HTC phones and likes the smaller size, I'm looking forward to getting the MI2s although its a little scary since its not an internationally released phone
[Xiaomi Mi 2] leledumbo:
Lovely :)

Open fast, take picture instantly (unless in night mode, HDR or under very low light), autofocus and face detection are nice, details are great though not the best, even the front camera can take quite sharp pictures (with some additional lights when it detects your face).
[Xiaomi Mi 2] jordanishere:
The 32 gig is what I have as well. It takes really good pictures.

I flashed the MIUI android Rom the same day it came out of the box.

It's an amazing device for sure. I'm more than happy with it.

If any Xiaomi's employee reading this: I will NOT buy this phone ONLY because of kernel sources' lack!

Android 4.1.1?! Now we 4.3, 4.2 is from some time. 4.1.2 is a minimum in most phones. Good hardware, good quality, ZERO support for developers.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] leledumbo:
I don't think they will care. After all, they don't even plan to sell the phone outside China. Most of us who have the phone get it from 3rd party seller such as ibuygou.

The default ROM is intended for China only, it doesn't have google apps at all. However, it has replacement for almost every google app (market, talk, email, etc.). The replacements might be useless if you need google services such as contacts backup. That's why you'll need to flash another ROM with google apps preinstalled.

Cons of buying this phone ?

I have researched a lot about this phone and I am very impressed by it. I am almost at clicking 'Buy Now' button.

But just as there are two sides to a coin , I want to know what the cons of buying Xiaomi mi 2s are.

Here are two I thought of :

1. I live in India and I wont have access to service centers.

2. Also, since its relatively new brand , I don't think I will get any resale value here.

370$ is still a lot of amount for me at the moment , so need to be well aware of the pros and cons while buying. :)

Please let me know if there is something I need to know about it while buying.

Thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Mephisto Zap:
I have a mi2 and its a great phone and I don't have any issues. Phones don't really break that often but usually you can send it back to who you bought it from and they can get it fixed for you. EBay or other online places is great for reselling phones like xiaomi. Its a great phone and just as good as a lg or Samsung. I'm really happy with mine. But you'll be happy with it you might want to wait for the mi3. It should be in production soon and not cost much more than $400.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] yash3339:
Hi,

It is true you won't have access to service centers, but buying from a reliable seller will help as they fully test the device before sending.

About resale, Xiaomi is getting popular in India, you might get more than what you think.

Good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi 2] guari:
Hi, just need an info before buying Mi2S 32GB version, can you confirm that the 13MP camera sensor is a IMX135 Sony Exmor RS CMOS BSI?

I can find only some vague and generic info that said it's a Sony Exmor RS but not the sensor name..

(If it's IMX135: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201208/12-107E/ , I suspect that Xiaomi did not a great job in embedding a good camera driver.. and it could became really better with some tweaks..)

Xiaomi mi2s glass type

Hey

Really interested in trying out this phone, however have 1 question about it.

Does it use Dragontrial or Gorilla glass?

Some sellers say it does have Dragontrial glass like the mi2, but nothing is mentioned on xiaomi site on the mi2s.

Can someone confirm? I'd prefer not to use films over screen so ideally the glass has some good scratch resistance
[Xiaomi Mi 2] no.0ne:
I'm pretty sure the Mi2S uses Dragontrail glass, which has almost the same properties as Gorilla glass. Dragontrail is from Japan, while Gorilla is from the US. Sony mostly uses Dragontrail, so that's gotta mean it's fine :)

Anyway, I've had this phone for a year or so, and I've never used a screen protector. The screen is fine and I'm not very gentle with it either. Bottomline, it's the same as with any other higher-level phone - your keys won't scratch it in your pocket, but if you put it screen-down on a shelf and slide it, some tiny scratches will appear from the tiny hard particles of dust.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] soleons:

[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] dejello:
Sorry for the late reply, yes, currently Ubuntu Touch is running in a chroot on a mini build of android.

Other notes, today I started trying to figure out what exactly breaks the display on the newer ubuntu fs images.

dmesg shows ubuntu-session terminating with: "terminated with status 139". I still have an image from May 24th that works, and upon updating libplatform-api1-hybris or ubuntu-platform-implmentation-android (both of which will install the other) the display breaks with ubuntu-session terminating with: "terminated with status 127" or depending on what I've done ocassionally some other error.

More searching to follow....
