I'm getting 6hrs and 15 min SOT at 50%, with 24 hrs on the battery , this is with miui eu 8.8.9 rooted , 40% brightness, and clever connectivity turning off wifi and data when screen is off
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] 4z4:
I'm getting about 13h 20min SOT at home (WiFi turned on, Mobile data turned off). It takes about 59 hours total to go from 100% to 0%. Best battery ever! :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] rjizzle112004:
Sot screen shot

Not bad
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] guilherme06:
Hope that you can show us the final result.

But It is impresive.

I can score about 15-17 hours SoT on normal use.

While Reading ebook on this phablet - even 20-25 hours Screen on time
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] guilherme06:
Can you post some proof if that?

Thanks!

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Mikromama:
1,5h ebook Reading - 6%
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] guilherme06:
If my calculations are good you will get more the 25 hours SOT....impressive.

Have you some different configuration to the original?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] lucaxxaa:
I am in Xiaomi.eu rom 8.8.23 and see that battery drain fast, compared to my old mi max 2 with MIUI 9 global stable
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] guilherme06:
Here are my results with 50% off battery remain.

I think it drain a lot in wait

But is not bad, 5 Hours in 1 day.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Mikromama:
Only ebook. Impressive

Any network activities during that time (2g/3g/wifi on?). What's the overall phone standby time? Also what screen brightness was set?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Mikromama:
WiFi on. Standby time.. About 4d 20h. 40% brightness
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Jwan:
Holy god! 27 hours???

offical rom?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Mikromama:
Xiaomi eu
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Jwan:
Did you have different results with the official rom?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] dinhvtai:
you should stop caring about that 27 hours SOT. The way you are using your phone will define how many SOT that you have.

He mostly read Ebooks, that result does not surprise me. You could get that SOT as well if you just use your phone to read Ebooks with the medium brightness.

I know you are new. What do you mean it is out of date? Bootloaders don't go out of date. That said, you should flash hard spl. See the sticky in the hermes upgrading forum for the links and instructions. The Wiki also has pages on this.

I've actually moved to this as my daily driver. Once you get used to that big screen, it's so hard to use anything else. I love the fact that it picks up T-Mobile LTE network where I'm at. The feel of the phone is still my favorite in the hand. The edges aren't square (Note 9) or overly rounded. I was worried that using the phone one handed was going to hard, but the google keyboard allows for rising and therefor makes for one handed use.

Mi Max 3 is heavier than Max 2 but it still feels lighter and more comfortable in the hand. I had wrist strain after using Max 2 a couple of hours. The reason I think is that Max 3 is thicker (8mm vs 7.5mm) so the density of the phone is actually lower.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] liguangming1981:
Size (particularly width) is not much different than my old Nexus 6, so it doesn't feel bad in hand at all.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] stephendt0:
This is my fist Max device. It feels pretty damn huge. That said I'll probably adjust to it.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] tweebs:
Coming from the Mi Max 1 and the Sony Xperia Z Ultra before that, I'm not sure I think this phone is an improvement in respect to ergonomics. I never use my phones with cases but am thinking about getting a thin one for this phone. My problem is this. I hold (and often use) the phone with one hand by putting my pinky under the bottom for support, holding the phone in portrait mode. The phone is fairly heavy and the edge of the USB-C port is sharp and cuts into my finger. If I move my finger to avoid holding it in the middle, where the port is, the tapered body is pointy enough to also cause discomfort. I've got fairly large man hands, which is why I bought the largest phone possible but it's not great for using one handed. The Sony Z Ultra and Mi Max 1 had a flatter bottom, no sharp edge and the screen was 16:9 which made it easier to drive one handed. I appreciate a large 16:9 screen but I don't see the advantage of the 18:9, and am reconsidering my decision in this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Spillunke:
Yes, but for me the fingerprint sensor could be on the same height like the power button.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Fearle55:
In my opinion as far as size/dimensions of the phone go, it's big but you can get used to it, but consider getting some sort of extra cover for it, as the texture of the material is rather smooth, it may slip out of hand especially if your hands get sweaty easily, like in summer for example.

-Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Smoked33:
Like the Max 2 you need a case with this phone... the size/weight/metal body will just irritate your fingers if you don't. I go with gel cases and instantly the phone feels comfortable and easy to hang on to.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] sharif_one:
It feels good without cover.

i think its just balanced by makers carefully to feel good as it is..

after adding a typical back cover, it feels heavier and unreasonable

Any plz tell me how the display performs in direct sunlight, is it legible or one has to struggle??
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] opasha:
100% legible. With auto-brightness, it turns up the display power similar to how my Galaxy Note 8 would with extra saturation/punchy color.

It's easy to read at night at lowest brightness and outside at highest. Surprisingly powerful lcd display.

Hi all,

I bought this smartphone and want to use VOiP with sip server in WiFi. I installed the cab WM6VOIP and after reboot today screen shows me Internet call: blocked service.

So, I think my mobile operator made some kind of block. What you guys recommend to use it for unblock this ?

Thanks very much,

Hey guys, so how's the minimum brightness of the Mi Max 3? I'm thinking of picking one up and I'd like to be able to use the Mi Max 3 in the dark without blinding myself. I can't seem to find info about minimum brightness anywhere so I thought I'd revive this thread to hopefully get some answers. Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] flipp0:
Minimum brightness is very low in brightness. No problem at all reading in the dark.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] SUPERUSER:
If the screen is to bright I usually start this app and turn it down to 15

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/giraffine.dimmer/

Very useful at the cinema or airplane where you have a lot of people around you and you don't want to disturb them.

Or get blinded by a phone that has a very bright screen even at the lowest setting like my Togari had I turned this app on before going to bed when I had that phone.

Otherwise it was like getting scorched by the sun when looking at the clock or adding a note that I forgot before falling asleep!

yes..mine too.but its still good just lil bit lower than my #mimax

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] opasha:
1.8.1 now. Material. System app. I notice it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] nirur:
Installed Viper 4. Lot of improvement. :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] tweebs:
1/3 of the calls I'm on the person on the other end complains that I'm 'garbled' sounding. I can hear them (although not as loud as I would like). The signal doesn't matter, I can have full signal. This happens with the earpiece, bluetooth headsets, headphones with mic, and speakerphone. Using Rogers SIM in Canada and AT&T SIM in USA. Current OTA updates MIUI 10.2.1.0 PEDMIXM + Pie, also happened to the previous version, Chinese hardware with global rom.

Amazing piece of technology that doesn't work as a phone. First Xiaomi device that I'm really disappointed with. Might have to go back to my Mi Max 1.

Not so good, my first day out of the house with the phone and it dropped T-Mobile service twice while I was on a call.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] SUPERUSER:
If you like you can use Network Signal Guru and measure and take screenshots and post here to give some actual data if its good or bad.

Which bands are used when and how long and when a call cuts out.

And when its very good to give a comparison when the phone performs very well and when not so good.

However Network Signal Guru requires root permissions

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
I don't have root yet however I do have the so called global firmware. Maybe that's the source if it is indeed a fake ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
So I just noticed something. When I make/receive a call I immediately drop LTE. Once the call ends it's restored. I have to assume the phone is not capable of voice over LTE or I need to find a toggle.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] mac231us:
that is normal....all phones switch to 3g when on call (even U.S carrier phones)...unless doing VOLTE...then mobile data unvailable during call ...Samsung S8 does it on Verizon (so does Iphone 7)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
I know as I stated in the original post the phone must not be compatible with Volte as there is no toggle. Additionally it's dropping to edge instead of 3G whenever I receive a call
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] mac231us:
---sorry wrong info-not verified
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:

Could you please make it more clear and tell us exactly the commands you did in fastboot mode / not in fastboot mode and give us clear instructions? like I dont understand "erase cacne this went through

erase data did not work"

Thanks bro and Im happy that the problem is solved for you.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] omer919:
got any issues with the phone ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] mac231us:
No...I think there was no issue. I was doing something wrong in selecting bands that don't exist here through the service menu-so am all confused apologize for posting off and on and then posting a 'solution' for something that probably never existed. I see my post was quoted-hopefully it does not mislead and start a plethora of unnecessary questions-you may want to edit what you quoted from my initial post-just a suggestion thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
Everything is fine except Calls. I've been told my phone rings once then goes to voicemail and occasionally I will connect to another party but we can't hear each other. Phone calls work less than 2 out of 5 times. Text is flawless, data works great with the exception of slow handover when switching from wifi to LTE.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:
And you are on T-mobile ? My friend ordered one and he's on the same service as you so I can tell him what he might expect. I don't know if Mac321 is having the same experience or not on ATT.

I want to buy the phone but I'm trying to gather as much info as I can before hand so I don't have to return/sell the phone.

Thanks for the reply
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
Yeah if it's not fixed I'll have have my calls forwarded to Google voice number and do VoIP calls.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] DKM119:
Hey man, in what state are you located?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
Hey I fixed it. Found a post on a thread that will enable VoLTE on Xiaomi Phones. Apparently they disabled VoLTE starting with MiUi 9 due to lack of certifications in certain countries, the US being one of them. To activate it dial *#*#86583#*#*
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] mtonne:
Band 4?

Are you getting Band 4 LTE on Tmobile? Also, how about 3G/HSPA? I believe it supports Band 2 for those, right?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
Band 4 LTE is rock solid everywhere however I cannot connect to 3G anywhere. That's why I had issues with calls before I activated VoLTE. I'm not sure if it's the phones band capability or something else but even forcing 3G nets me 2G edge. Thankfully I don't need it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] Steamer2499:
Hey... Is T mobile wifi calling enabled on this phone?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ryanllts:
hi, which city are you using t mobile? i m in new york, i heard that t mobile had change 3g in that area so with max 2 only getting edge.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
I'm in Northern NJ. I do allot of driving for work, in multiple cities in my area. While on the road I'm constantly using data as well as making and receiving calls. I never lose 4g and my call quality is excellent.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:
I cannot make any calls on 3g or even 4g ATT with mine unless volte is enabled and then only in lte mode which is spotty at best where I live. If I enable 3g I get 5 bars basically all the time and I'd be fine with that but can only pull data down and no calling.

I've tried every apn out there and run out of ideas.

If anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
If you decide to continue using the phone use Google voice which now offers VoIP. Have you calls forward to that number. I've done in the past works fine. I know not ideal but its a work around if all else fails.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:
The issue is that I lose signal entirely a few times a day here so even with call forwarding I won't be able to answer unless I'm at home on wifi.

I'm thinking on flashing the EU rom and seeing if that will fix my 3g no calling issue.

First import phone ever that won't let me call unless under very specific settings Volte/LTE
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] ice0901:
I see, I thought your 3G connect was flawless that's why I offered the suggestion. I honestly doubt a different ROM will help with band support. Your only alternatives may be too sell the phone or try it T-MOBILE. Good luck.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Real Life Review] quazimojo:
I just flashed the china ROM and now I can make calls without enabling volte so progress has been made

Phone defaults to 4g I now I have 5bars all the time and calling works flawlessly.

Ota updates work on this and it's miui 10

I'm just going to install gapps and enjoy this ROM till global actual hits
