    Xiaomi TD-SCDMA doesn't work with USA's T-Mobile data, even at 2G/EDGE speeds

    I asked a question in this thread whether or not my Hongmi would work with USA's T-Mobile. The consensus was that it would work at 2G speed. Having arrived in USA and purchased a T-Mobile SIM card, I can say that this is not the case. Data does not work at all. I changed the card into both...

    MIUI killing my alarm clock - what to do?

    Delay the alarm? MIUI doesn't interact with Alarm Clock Xtreme Free's timing at all. What it does is kill the task to free some memory. This shouldn't be happening with apps in the app drawer, that's the whole point of the app drawer.

    MIUI killing my alarm clock - what to do?

    I tried the "app locking" trick. However, that only affects programs running actively in the foreground. The alarm and data meter both run in the background, in the app drawer. They do not appear in the "broom screen" (whatever it's called when you hold down HOME). Thus, you cannot use this method.

    MIUI killing my alarm clock - what to do?

    It's also killed my data statistics app that also stays in the app drawer. My usage stats are wrong, but that's not nearly as important as the alarm clock.

    MIUI killing my alarm clock - what to do?

    I'm using Alarm Clock Xtreme Free in the app drawer. Last week, I overslept and lost $75 for a training session because my alarm didn't go off. I checked and it didn't go off because it wasn't in the app drawer. This morning, I woke up a bit before my usual time and decided to check the...

    Miui doesn't allow installing app using network data

    None of China's three providers offer unlimited data, so the developers probably never thought of this situation.

    Screen dimming too quickly

    My screen dims after 8 seconds of idle time, and turns off after 10 seconds. In Settings ->Display -> Sleep it's set to 1 minute. What could be the problem?

    Google Play and Gmail don't work on hongmi

    Try an app called "GPS Status". Let it lock on, then use Google Maps. Sometimes Maps won't lock on which is infuriatingly annoying.

    What happens to a TD-SCDMA phone in USA?

    I have a Hongmi that I'll be taking on vacation with me. What will a TD-SCDMA/GSM phone be able to do on, for example, T-Mobile? Can it make phone calls and send SMS? Or will it just degrade to 2G networking? Does it matter which of the two slots you use for the SIM card?

    New icons automatically created by app installation

    Every time I install a new app, the system creates a new icon. The problem is, when I first started this phone, it put the first icon in the first empty space on the first screen to the right of the home screen. Thereafter, it just kept moving the icon one to the right. The problem is, I only...
