Hello there,

I mainly want this tablet only for two purposes, one is browsing and another is watching movies.

But i just came to know that this tablet has an aspect ration of 4:3 and watching movies in this tablet will cause the movies to end up with two black spaces on either side.

Will this take away the experience of watching a movie? Other than from Browsing(which i'v heard this tablet is very good) my main usage is at watching Youtube videos and Movies.

Can any of you be kind enough to tell me about these and if this tablet is still good enough to purchase?

Regards,

Adi4u4882
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Zeblade:
I have this tablet. Its great. Had I known it would NEVER get updated to Android 5 or Android 6.. I would never have bought it. Dont be deceived by the updates it gets now. Those are just APP updates. Since it launched what about 2 years ago now its still on Android 4.4.4.

I would buy something else.. In the long run its worth it.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] siekierek:
I have bought this tablet for my wife. Good thing was that i had few days for myself to test it. The big worry was that it will come all in China language and no Play store. As it turns out not to worry. There was English as default (even Polish was an option) and there was Google Play. All works superb. For this price its a bargain of the year. My wife use this tablet for imgur, google books and games so she is more then happy.

The only small problem... If you ever will want to do factory reset you need to have a google keyboard app ready. After FR there is no keyboard at all... so you cant connect to wifi and you have to have app on the sdcard.

Thats all from me.

For somebody who is not bother with the old software (kitkat) then this is a perfect tablet.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] lanc3lot:
Hey, can you explain what you mean? As far i know, Miui 7 was released sometime now and its based on Lolipop. Its available for Mipad here-> http://en.miui.com/download-229.html
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] tsg2513:
What he means is that MIUI 7 for MiPad is based on KitKat.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] naseeb sha:
Ya for watching movies it is a little odd one. In case of YouTube it's fine

Then about KitKat OMDG PLZ its crap

Don't know whether you are a nerd or not..... Any way its been 2months iam using it and here is my verdict

Pros:

1. Blistering performance

2. Nvidia CPU and GPU are doing best for a hand

held device.

3. Gaming is a whole new level

4. LG battery is a true power source for long time and

charge up quickly

6. Display is decend under direct sunlight.

Cons:

1. selecting Bluetooth from multiple windows closes

most of the time.

2. Brightness sometimes have its own idea about

changing to full blast ( don't say that auto

brightness is on or off ,I know well about how it

works)

3. Background app has limit ( even developer option

only gives choosing between number limits and

standard limit)

4. Background apps stops most of the times ( even

the second one in background stops occasionally)

5. Connecting to internet via Bluetooth devices has its

own mind about disconnecting all the times.

6. Camera didn't work always, its not stock camera

app, all apps for camera won't work occasionally

which inturn points culprit as nasty hardware

problem

7. All keys on bezel (back,home,multiple window) are

not good in response which is an inconvenience .

(you can use many soft key apps instead which

iam using now)

8. Mi Ui is not good(awful) which always take quiet a

time to load up if we prefer to go home directly.

9. Screen shot appear as a widget not a combination

keys which is inconvenient and annoying many

times

10. Entire system some times ( once in

thousand) slows in terms of performance.

11. Quiet a lot of heat builds up on gaming.

12. Last not least....... OMDG plz get rid of the that

stupid KitKat OS plz plz plz.....
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] lanc3lot:
Ty for the post mate, i was thinking to buy the device but i was hoping that miui 7 is based on Lollipop (that apparently itsnot) and that the tablet could be a bit more solid. I will check for something else, take care
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] stangri:
As far as device being stuck with KitKat -- are there any specific apps you wanted to run on the tablet and couldn't because they require the newer OS?

Without going the CM route, can the Google Launcher be installed on it?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] siekierek:
Funny enough that my wife did want this tablet to be her candy crash saga device she couldnt install it from playstore. We had to download an older version and put the apk on the device and then i installed. Apart from that all the apps she is using on htc one (LP) she is using on MIPad
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] cheeze.keyk:
Global Stable Build only. AFAIK it will still be based on kitkat.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] mixterz:
Have it since its release.

Its fantastic .

Great sound for movies and music.

Runs any game smoothly.

Browsing is effortlessly.

Nice is nice , not to big not to small.

Overall if you want a tablet that will just perform without hiccups then this is a good option.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] cheeze.keyk:
eventhough this device has cm12.1 port but still its not for daily driver. xiaomi doesn't even release the sources.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] vivdutta:
I was really looking forward to buying this device keeping in mind the specs & pricing. Cant really decide if i should buy this Mipad or wait for the Mipad 2.

So far the the Mipad 2 only offers a mild upgrade in terms of processor (whose gaming performance I'm totally unsure of) & build quality. Infact the lack of expandable memory slot rather makes want to avoid waiting for the mipad 2.

Although Mipad is stuck on Kitkat, the fine Nvidia gpu makes sure it can run any game you throw at it with ease. The real question is with the lack of updates from xiaomi, how long will mipad continue to be a master amongst gaming tablets ?

Please suggest me if I should buy this device or if there is anything better in the market around this price range, considering this device is almost 2 years old now.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] stangri:
You know what, as the micro-USB charging port on my Teclast P70 started to malfunction less than a year of use in, I've grown more fond of the Type-C connector. While wherever MiPad 2 being an upgrade over MiPad in terms of the raw power is arguable, the Type-C connector and newer OS would sway me to by a MiPad 2.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] ChooiWC:
Yes

I'm regret too. Better buy NVidia Shield Tab. :crying::crying:
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] ThePR7:
Its Great

Its a great device for media consumption , browsing , watching movies and playing games but not so good in terms of multitasking as MIUI is quite heavy and it has only 2GB ram but it does all other things smoothly without issues ! In this price range , atleast i think this is the best
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Crossvxm:
Simply put, NO. Nobody really mentions the overheat, the persistent lag throughout the UI, etc. I purchased this and the Redmi Note 2 together new and both have been a disaster. The Mi 3W was like the best thing in the world until the sim adapter ruined the sim pins. The Mi 4 was great although it overheated as well in Performance Mode, but performance wouldn't really drop because of the heat. The Mi Note was the love of my life until my son caused me to accidentally drop it two weeks after buying it.

Mi Pad? Terrible. It's nothing like MIUI on any other device. Heck, even the nice MIUI port for the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 give those two LIFE. But this thing has been a disaster. The UI isn't smooth, not even browsing or typing. The heat? I mean I'm typing this all on it on Balanced Mode, brightness a little over half, no other apps running, no vibration, no sound and average room temp and it's already at 37.2° Celsius (98.96° Fahrenheit). Gaming? I think you can cook an egg on the back. It will throttle. Even ran the 3D Mark "Ice storm Unlimited" benchmark while hot a few days ago and it told me that the device was not at its best and should probably have some background apps closed or given time to cool down. Sure, not everyone wants to game on it even though the GPU was designed for that, but again, typing this up is giving it a bit of a struggle to keep its cool.

It is a beautiful device, and no device is perfect, but I really wouldn't recommend it. Thankfully the heat has not caused my battery to drain at the moment it is occurring (I have seen this with other devices I've owned), but heat + battery = problematic battery in a closer than expected future.

I really don't want to shart on your hopes, but when I read about it, it was a must have for me. Sadly, it was not what I expected.

*If its at a good price and SEALED NEW, sure go for it. But otherwise, big no.

IF IT IS A MI PAD 2, RESEARCH ISSUES FIRST.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] stangri:
Thanks for your candid response. Any potential Mi Pad *2* buyers may also want to consider the fact that Intel has recently decided to drop the entire Atom division (Mi Pad 2 is powered by Intel Atom X5-Z8500), so I wouldn't hold my breath for *any* Android updates for existing Atom-based products.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] prahladyeri:
Has mi pad improved its software?

Its June 2016, has mi pad updates able to solve the heating and other issues till now or this is still a no buy?

Alternatively, is the cm-11 build stable enough for mi pad?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] tomix123:
Cm11 is quite stable.

I use Cm11 and it'sfine overall. I get the occasional unexpected app closure but it's not an issue.

I use it for browsing, ebooks and youtube mainly.

Hope this helps.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] aces170:
I am using the mipad extensively for media consumption and a little bit of gaming. It's great at that, although the ui has stutters. The android kernel update wasn't an issue till recently when a few games stopped supporting kit kat. I got it last year, think it was a very good deal for the price. It's one of the few tablets even at present which has hardware hevc decoder, plays most of the x265 files without a sweat. I know because even the nexus 5x with SD 808 struggles on those files. If xiaomi just released the sources this device would have been killer.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] BKPepe:
Will it have CM12 or even CM13?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Artemka2008:
May be. I and my teammate ported 3.10.33 kernel from shield
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] InTheCage:
I've sold mine.

My irritations:

Kitkat miui

Running music app and browsing not possible, stops other app after while.

Browsing not so smooth, not really bad but i expected better.

Only one usb, no OTG hub charging support, so u cant charge and use any other usb thing. One or the other.

Hardware navigation touch buttons extremely annoying, very small sensors and or need long touch.

Hardware power on en volume buttons very tiny and annoying to use.

Back really slippery, cheap cover will solve.

Good things

Stunning screen, i loved it.

Games run great and look excellent.

Loved the sound, although sometimes it sound a little hissy (voices), nonetheless great sound for tablet.

Battery life is good, someone said quick charge but i don't think so, normal to me.

I like the aspect ratio, nice for websites.

Charger have long cable (at least not short).
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] chibiwings:
Is this still worth buying today? i'm thorn between this unit and Nvidia Shield K1.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] drakonizer:
K1 any day. Xiaomi support sucks. Their software support is non existent. They violated the GPL for almost 2 years, leaving Mi Pad users on Kitkat all that while. Personally, the Mi Pad will be my last Xiaomi device, and the only reason I bought it was it's price. I do not wish to support Chinese corporations that do not care for the GPL or after sales support, and I will do my best to convince others of the same. If you're comparing the Shield K1 with this, then that means both are within your budget. So go for the K1 without a doubt. The K1 got official Nougat whereas the Mi Pad is still rocking Kitkat ~3 years later.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] thx84:
I would also choose the Nvidia Shield K1. But if you feel adventurous, there are custom (buggy) ROMS for marshmallow and nougat (thx [MENTION=7737930]highwaystar_ru[/MENTION])
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Navin9:
To say in one word it is "BEAST" considering the hardware part, But xiaomi has chained him to 4.4.4 kitkat.

Now atleast they have released kernel sources, we can expect some after market development.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] drakonizer:
But if you had an option to buy a device with the same hardware and infinitely better software and support (NVidia Shield K1) would you still buy the Mi Pad?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Navin9:
Here there are two options considering to price point i will choose definetly the mi pad it is lot better than NVIDIA sheild.

If you consider the software support and you are good with money. go for NVIDIA SHEILD, recently i heard it released naughat to this tablet.

but for mipad (mocha) after market development is going on. [MENTION=7737930]highwaystar_ru[/MENTION] is working really hard to bring stable roms if you can wait a little while for software support go on with mipad1.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] drakonizer:
Explain to me one way that the Mi Pad is better than the shield k1. Other than the marginally higher dpi, there's nothing else.

I understand your need to praise the Mi Pad because you own one, but let's be objective here. Yes, the Mi Pad might get a couple of ROMs that may become stable in the future thanks to highwaystar_ru, but does that beat the stability and overall better experience of software support from the OEM? No.

If someone is comparing two devices, it's obvious that both are affordable to him. There is no reason to buy ANYTHING from Xiaomi, considering what an ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE company they are. In fact, even if you cannot afford the K1 yet, I'd recommend waiting and getting that, for the psychological satisfaction knowing that you didn't give away your hard earned money to a greedy Chinese corporation.

Also, you made a mistake in purchasing the Mi Pad, as did I. But please don't push others to do the same.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Navin9:
just shut the **** up and find out yourself if you are lazy then check the below link.

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/nvidia-shield-tablet-k1-3104-vs-xiaomi-mipad-1604
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] drakonizer:
First off, I wouldn't be so arrogant with your level of experience here, and your language skills. You'd better keep a check on the profanity (google it if you don't know what it means).

Sharing a link to a random website doesn't prove anything. Specifications wise, they are both exactly the same. Your "website" has neither reviewed not rated the NVidia Shield. They are just putting the specifications side by side, in which case both devices are exactly the same, with the slight edge going to the Shield, for it's speakers and software support.

You forget to consider that there are other countries than India, where the Mi Pad is more expensive, or where the Nvidia Shield is cheaper. This would put both of them at around the same price, in which case there is no reason to even consider the Mi Pad.

It just pains me to see idiots like you posting crap across XDA ruining my country's reputation.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Palm Trees:
There's an offer on Ebay now. 134.27 USD (about half price of Nvidia). This price is acceptable, but I can't really decide whether or not to buy it.

With recent development, would you recommend giving this old lady a chance? :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] jitendra.singh.sola:
yes

if you are a game lover u cant get better option under 15000
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] udaan:
Don't. Wait for mipad3.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Sean De Jesus:
no, stay away from this tablet. better get the old Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 or iPad mini 4, those are some decent tablets worth your $$
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] AbhaYsinGH007:
Very correct [MENTION=5258151]drakonizer[/MENTION]
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] ahmed.zakut:
Agree

Just listen to the guy and never buy this Tab, it is useless crap , not because of the specs but the support and the software , Kitkat till today..!!?? that is a joke ... Xiaomi just forgot about this tab and they are moving on with the tab 2 and tab 3 ...but honestly, i would never bother about a company throwing devices here and there without support. Nvidia surprised everyone when they supported their device up to Android N, so i would pay the extra 50 or 70$ for that..

Good luck
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] l4d:
Is there any active deals for the Mi Pad (1st Gen)? :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Palm Trees:
On Ebay you have a few options. But beware, most sellers only ship domestically in Italy.

There is an option buying from China, but you will have to pay an additional 100£.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] AbhaYsinGH007:
MiPad 1 is now very very rare to find,

Check if you find any second hand MiPad

You can check ebay
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Crossvxm:
Many people have upped the price, or only the 16GB is available, which I find too small. Try Swappa, but I suggest you check daily as devices there come and go very fast. If you want an alternative, I suggest the Nvidia Shield Tablet, which is faster. But no MIUI. The Mi Pad never really received updates for Global, or for anything else...

Very true. I still have my 64GB and it works perfectly, but the screen is shattered. Screen replacements are also difficult to find, especially the full assembly, although it usually drsins battery.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] AbhaYsinGH007:
Storage should not be a issue as you can always expand it using SDcard (up to 128GB)

I own a 16 GB Model +64 SD card and don't find storage a issue :)

True, Xiaomi will never update MiPad but there are some people like [MENTION=348064]highwaystar[/MENTION] who have brought Android N to MiPad ;)

Hi,

I would like to know where is located the HTC animated logo which is included into the Wm6 from HTC ?

i changed the "primary splash" and "secondary splash" NB files by mine but this HTC animated splash/logo while booting is still visible.

Please, could you tell me how to remove it ?

thanks a lot,

M.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Your best bet would be to install a ROM that just doesn't include it.

If you're happy making your own ROM using Pandora, you can just not tick the box for animated startup on the list of items to include. See Pandora thread for this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=316881

If you don't want to do a DIY ROM yet, just browse through the current WM6 cooked ROM threads and find the one that most closely matches the setup you'd like and doesn't include animated startup.

There may be some way to disable it during the startup process if it's already part of your ROM but I doubt it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] maileen:
but unfortunately, all WM6 ROM i found are with this HTC animated splashscreen :-(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
I think that is the problem.

The animated screen will remain until you overwrite it. Most Roms do not include one and so do not overwrite it.

If you have tried changing the splash screens yourself then i am not sure what is going wrong - did you follow the guides completely?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] maileen:
Yes i did...once i flash, my splashscreens aredisplayed (primary and secondary) but the animated HTC logo is still there.

once i flash it into another hermes 100, my splashscreens are not displayed :-(

i'm completly lost now... :-(

anyway the animated HTC logo is still displayed :-(

help me plz.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JR_de:
Taken from the WIKI:

Disable Startup Animation [HTC-Logo]

Who wants to remove and install another splash screen (different from the one provided with Schap's ROM) REMEMBER to disable the original Htc splash screen by editing the registry (e.g. with 'Resco Explorer') in this way:

To disable the startup animation change the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled = 1

Well, you only have to swap 1 with 0 and the splash screen is disabled! So after that, the reg. value will be this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled = 0
