Mi 5 good phone? - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

I want to buy but worried about camera quality and wifi strength..
Have root?

Root is no problem but you have to request the unlock permission from Xiaomi first and that takes a couple of weeks.
Camera I've found is excellent (really) and WiFi strength not an issue at all.

[HW_REV] Will Nexus 4 with not definitive HW_rev be replaced?

Hello all,
before open this thread i tried to find similar discussions, but i have not found it.
So, i've a problem as many other Nexus 4 owners: HW_REV. My Nexus 4 has HW_REV 10 but seems that newest stock of Nexus 4 have HW_REV 12, probably the final and definitive HW_REV.
The question now is simple: will Google replaces Nexus 4s with different HW_REV from latest?
I've read many post in many sites, but no one says "yes, it will be officially replaced"!
Thank You and sorry for my english
Re: [HW_REV] Nexus 4 with not definitive HW_rev, will be replaced
If you don't have a legitimate problem i doubt it.

Camera is not very performant, the touchscreen not responding sometimes, display with colors that stretch to yellow....are these problems valid for a replacement?

No. Because replacement will behave exactly the same.

Sounds like you are trying to find problems to get a Rev12...
stop being greedy and be glad you've gotten one at all....let some people who haven't had a chance to order one get it shipped before you strat asking for multiple replacements just because yours isn't new enough for you.
THIS is one of the reasons they are out of stock, people!!! If your RMA can wait, please wait!! You don't need to get a second one as badly as some need a first!

if LG has noticed some problems and if my smartphone is not as it should be, then I do not see why I should not let me change it! LG changed this: camera, rear glass and display! I think that thay make a BRAND NEW Nexus 4, so i want the FINAL Nexus 4 as ALL other users.
No, they will not. Every phone got many different revs, it's not a big deal. If they would recall every nexus for the new rev they would have stopped the sale of the old ones. Get over it, there will most likely be a rev 13 after 12 anyway.

All the problems you have described everyone else has. So you won't get an RMA. Rev_11 was meant to be new stuff and mine has those issues you have listed.

I've read of Nexus 4s users with HW_REV 12 that has not any problem...thay says that photos are best because the different rear glass and a different camera, and the display too seems to be best...someone can confirm that? if that's true, can we all ask for a replacement?

Can you link to articles/posts from people with rev 12? Also don't believe people just saying stuff, demand proof.

I work in electronics. When there are these minor HW revs, its usually a cost reduction on part of the manufacturer. All it means is that they probably took out redundant components. If they made any sort of change that would affect performance, there would most likely be a new part number.
I have an upgrade in April, so I could care less

Fake. It appears several days ago in an Spanish forum and seem to be just bull****.
How does one determine which HW_rev they have? What screen shows this and how do I get there?

[Q] Please Help

I bought my Mi3 on 12th August. It was working perfectly till last week.
I tried to call my friend on skype last week and found that the front cam is not working. It is now showing random black lines on white screen. I tried a lot of camera apps and none of them are working.
Can anybody help me with this? Is this a firmware issue or is there something wrong with the hardware? What should I do to get it fixed?
I am attaching a pic taken using my front cam.
Thanks in advance

Blocking Mode with LED control?

I used to have in the blocking Mode the option to disable LED notifications while blocking Mode was on. I know the Note 3 had it but I wonder why Samsung took it out. Is there any other way to get it back?

I believe it can be rooted but if that's true I just cannot figure out why we can root a note 8 but we can't root any galaxies lights at 8 or 9
