Don't worry dude :):):) Keep try and will surely help you if I can,

Anyway, here is my experience, How I got MI3 on my first attempt ( I was aware about MI3 only last week and ordered it on Aug19)

I used Chrome for this trick

I checked my computer time with google (india time) and it was correct

Logged into flipkart before 2 hours on the sales day, and clicked 'buy now' button for other products ( it was actually for testing, whether I can add any product to cart, because, lot of people complaining that they have got response like 'you are not registered for sale' when they had clicked 'buy now' button)

I keep refreshed both tab in between 15-20 minutes interval until the countdown reached 30 minutes

When it is in 30 minutes, I did more focused on refreshing the tab ( Because I know everyone ready to click this product :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:)

Used two chrome tabs and keep refreshed in between 3-5 minutes alternatively when one is finished

Last 5 minutes , I keep refreshed the tab in 1 minute interval and checked whether both chrome tabs showing the countdown time as correct :confused::confused:( Hope you people will see a little difference on both tabs, Just refresh that tab which have time delay and it will resolve once you refreshed )

Refreshed.....Refreshed......Refreshed alternatively both tabs till last 25-30 seconds. then I stopped it. After that, I placed mouse arrow near to the countdown timer and clicked 'buy now' button alternatively on both tabs when it comes.

Suddenly I got the message in 2nd tab like you have already purchased MI3 ;):angel::angel:

After few seconds I got the message in first tab as 'your MI3 is added into the Cart and blah blah .....":D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I feel like,, I made it ... I made it......... :D:D:D:D:D:angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Use this trick and hope everyone will get your MI3 on hands.......THE TIME AND TIMING IS IMPORTANT :good::good::good::good:
[Mi 3 General] forthe:
Guys, I think that a lot depends on the internet connection speed and latency. I have tried all methods and failed all the times to procure one because of my slow connection and high latency.

Hope some gentleman here will help me to buy one in the flash sale, coz I don't see anything wrong except my connection for my failure.
[Mi 3 General] sujithar37:
PM me with your email and contact number ..I will try to order for you on next flash sale. Also please do remember me on the sales date .
[Mi 3 General] PrimeNexes:
I was lucky to get a Mi3 on 19 August sale.I am very excited to get the phone,Flipkart dispatched it on the same day and I got the AWB No and guess guess which courier company Delhivery. I had a very bad exp with them it was from another e-comm site but there delivery was pathetic the item was delivered to me after 20Days of my order placed. I thought Flipkart as always will git it to BlueDart but they did not.

So my question is that people who bought the phone can you please tell me how many days it took your phone to reach you with the city you live in.I live in Mumbai so people who received the phone in mumbai with Delhivery it will be very helpful if you share your exp with me :D
[Mi 3 General] bilalvoh:
Called in Noida , got it a day late from the mentioned date.. Your fear comes alive :p

Sent from my MI 3W
[Mi 3 General] PrimeNexes:
So how many days it took and which courier company was it ?
[Mi 3 General] bilalvoh:
E comm , I guess it took 5 days.. Best thing was they were supportive unlike Flipkart rudents :)

Sent from my MI 3W
[Mi 3 General] PrimeNexes:
well its the first time I heard of "E comm" name of a courier company but 5 days seems good,Mine is estimated to 25th on Monday so lets see if its early or late.BTW a friend of mine ordered a GamePad from Flipkart at noon and he got delivered to him the next day.Flipkart has always been early but lets see how this goes .Many people has complained that they got faulty phones and had a hard time to replace it.
[Mi 3 General] x017in:
Bragging: MI3

I was able to order on all 3 weeks to date. total purchases - 3 phones
[Mi 3 General] PrimeNexes:
How many days it took and which courier company was it ?
[Mi 3 General] x017in:
To Bangalore it was delivered in 2 days. Courier is by flipkart itself.
[Mi 3 General] PrimeNexes:
Luck You ! Flipkart warehouse is in Bangalore.
[Mi 3 General] bilalvoh:
That's a b2b company, it doesn't make a diff if it's Flipkart or not what matters is who's the seller behind the product and their tie up with Flipkart , I guess :what:

[Mi 3 General] reshampanth:
Anyone facing problems like Bluetooth not working, wifi not working or apps crashing?
[Mi 3 General] usc_b:
My Bluetooth n wifi r working fine.

But, sometimes i am facing problems to make outgoing calls in 1 try. It's a problem with nos beginning with +91xxxxxxx.. If a dial the same no with 0xxxxxxxx it works fine somehow.

I think ive to change some settings to make it with smoothly.

Otherwise I've not been able to find any faults with this phone.. Ive moved from Galaxy S3 n Mi3 is way better in ask departments just that it has limited storage n no speed dial in the stock dialer..

[Mi 3 General] shhbz:
well seems shortage of stock in flipkart though every week i bag 2 to my account so people must be thinking how here goes the ball if you have not been following it this way

go to Flipkart

#log in before 2 hours or so by 12pm even if you are late no issues to that but yes considering you are registered log in before 2 pm

#go to countodown page as shown in figure and keep presing F5 in frequent interval of hour if logged in earlier orelse just before 2 min of sale keep refreshing and stop refreshing at 20sec and keep your moise pointer at the position shown in picture just between sale---starts (note: the pointer should be here only as each sec matters on click )

#As soon as countdown get over just click at the location between sale---starts and it will succeed for sure

But I'm guessing the bottom line of any manufacturer is to sell the product so they would and soon.

***If I helped you or even tried to help don't refrain yourself from hitting the thanks button :)***
[Mi 3 General] shhbz:
@ reshampanth

your product out for delivery enjoy your mi3

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

yes,as still many have not been able to get their hands on it and they know through registration process the actual number they could sell ,so in a way they are planning their sales strategy right but redmi wont sale as hot cake as the mi3,and since they allowing early access to first 2000registration seem I would fit intoone for sure but dont need to buy one
[Mi 3 General] bilalvoh:
I think 1s is gonna be another hot pie as it's dirt cheap and people have the crave for this brand now . lets see what happens on Tuesday

Anyone updated to the official dev miui v6 ? can we directly update it to that from the stable rom shipped with device ?
[Mi 3 General] sujithar37:
There was no stable miui6 update yet, but miui 6 developer version is available in the miui downloaded section. You need to flash wcdma/China developer version to get the OTA updates for MiUi6 (coming weeks). Take the backup of current rom via CWM and flash the developer version after a full wipe.

I am using miui6 currently. Its a pretty sexy look and feel :D:thumbup:
[Mi 3 General] skarma103:
can we revert to miui 5 with a wipe if miui 6 isnt stable enough ?
[Mi 3 General] sujithar37:
Yes.. You can. That's what I said earlier. Restore the stable backup from CWM after a full wipe

I have been using Mi3 for 2 weeks now, by the end of the first week, i noticed that there was some play near Volume and Power button,

If i press the back case, I could feel some depth, I got it replaced in a MI Customer care outlet. Even the second case is resulting in the same issue. Is it a common issue or should i ask for replacement. Please help.

To check if your GPS is working or not try this,

First of all, make sure you are at a place where there is nothing between you and sky, as in no ceiling or big trees. You can achieve this by going up to your roof top or just standing on a road with no trees overhead.

Then dial *#*#MIUI#*#*, scroll down to GPS, after selecting GPS if it shows some satellite count, that means there is no issue with hardware.

If all goes well, now you can download GPS Essentials app from play store, stand under clear sky and select satellites, it shall be able to lock your location in 2-5 minutes.
