    New Battery Drained By "android" (rn3pro And Mi3)

    You're right, sms don't depend on Google Play Services, but you're not right in saying a MIUI update can't fix anything, since THIS forum has ONLY Miui roms with Google apps integrated. I suppose devs work their asses off for having a MIUI system that operates together with Gapps with as less...

    New Battery Drained By "android" (rn3pro And Mi3)

    Good for you if those steps helped your phone sleep again, but 1)no more sms for you 2)I would NEVER go around and block processes all willy-nilly like you did: you've been lucky your device didn't end in a boot loop. But hey, if those gets you through the day, I repeat, good for you. I...

    Huge Battery Drain On Latest V8 Stable (max32gb)

    I don't think you can be annoyed at 90% with 40 minutes on battery. Let it go in the full day and repost the screenshot then, they might be more useful.

    New Battery Drained By "android" (rn3pro And Mi3)

    I'm trying today with sync off, so far the phone has been off the charger about 6 hours, have 2 hours of Screen on, some whatsapp/Telegram notifications, half an hour of Chrome, and I'm at 80%. MiMax Pro, with weekly 6.8.18. So far, it seems fair to assume that battery drain issues are related...

    [guide]root/twrp/multirom On Locked Bootloader + Hardbrick Recovery

    The only things I miss from Sony rom are the clock (I always loved it) and the widget with the latest calls made/received. I still have to find a widget that gives me those things in a manner Sony delivered instantly. On the other hand, I rely on Google apps so much (even if I don't use them...

    [guide]root/twrp/multirom On Locked Bootloader + Hardbrick Recovery

    Great guide, already followed when you posted it on miui forums, but had to do a +1 here too to recognise your fantastic work. May I suggest, like you suggested me before, to flash the official TWRP you linked me, so that we can't incur in errors (error 7 in my case) after? I since updated...

    Huge Battery Drain On Latest V8 Stable (max32gb)

    I actually have issues with Android or Gplay services draining the battery even with the last weekly release... I think it's something related to sync issues... I will try tomorrow disabling sync for the entire day...

    Rookie Question: Mimax 4gb/128 From Gearbest / Rite Way, Rite Rom

    I simply downloaded the latest weekly rom, so you can download that now (6.8.18), just make sure it's the MIMAXPRO one. Just one thing though, download the right TWRP here https://dl.twrp.me/helium/ and save it to a microsd, as well as all the other files you need to flash (so that when you...

    New Battery Drained By "android" (rn3pro And Mi3)

    Mi Max Pro here, same problem, but today Google Services beat Android System. I have 6hrs of Screen, and currently at the end of the second day (9PM here) but I'm on a 4850mah battery, it should do almost double that. Also, I can't freaking upload the screenshot because chrome doesn't let me...

    New Can't Open Links In Apps Nor Share Links Via Whatsapp/telegram Etc. Via Chrome

    Hi there, I'm on the latest weekly rom, MiMax Pro, and this problem happened just now. I tried rebooting, clearing cache, dalvik etc. but nothing seems to do anything. Basically with the previous release, when clicking a link (for example, a YouTube link, or a Miui forum link), system asked me...

    Rookie Question: Mimax 4gb/128 From Gearbest / Rite Way, Rite Rom

    I see you're Italian like me! I didn't know because it's my first Xiaomi device and also my first smartphone from Gearbest. As said before, I asked them and they replied they have Xiaomi permission to unlock the devices... But hey, maybe the customer service reads "unlocked" as "works with all...

    Rookie Question: Mimax 4gb/128 From Gearbest / Rite Way, Rite Rom

    I can try tonight, but I would rather have some confirmation whether this is possible or not. I mean, what happens when I select the zip file? I couldn't when I posted because the device was under 30% of battery. Will it give an error? Will it proceed installing and then I'll have a bricked...

    Rookie Question: Mimax 4gb/128 From Gearbest / Rite Way, Rite Rom

    I just checked other threads, and putting the right zip files in the phone and selecting it through the updater app seems to be working for updating to the China Dev rom, so why bother with fastboot? Even the flash guide provided by xiaomi official site describes it as "download, move it to the...

    Rookie Question: Mimax 4gb/128 From Gearbest / Rite Way, Rite Rom

    Update: I received my Max Pro(4/128), checked with ADB and... SURPRISE SURPRISE! It's bootloader locked. I already applied for unlocking with Xiaomi... More waiting...

    Rookie Question: Mimax 4gb/128 From Gearbest / Rite Way, Rite Rom

    If you bothered reading my post after his, you could have seen that Gearbest told me they ship Xiaomis with bootloader unlocked from the official Xiaomi channels. Installing a recovery and flashing Xiaomi.eu roms are not that complicated tasks, especially if you have a pc, where most of the...

    Rookie Question: Mimax 4gb/128 From Gearbest / Rite Way, Rite Rom

    Are you familiar with ADB tools? I'm going to receive the same device you gave next week, and they told me before that it comes bootloader unlocked. If you're familiar with ADB you could check if that's true, and if it is, you just have to flash the TWRP Recovery, and then flash the latest rom...

    Twrp For Mi Max Pro 3/64 Snapdragon 652 (helium)

    You just answered to your own question: your device, as you stated before, is a 3/64/Snap650 hydrogen, therefore it's NOT a helium (also called Mi Max Pro), those are just the 3/64 and 4/128 with Snap652. The package you need is the one with MIMAX in the link, not MIMAXPRO. ;) Let me know how it...

    I'd Like To Know How To Flash A Rom From Here

    OR, or, you could, since we're talking about the Mi Max here, which has 2 Sim slots or 1 Sim one MicroSd card, put the Rom in the external memory and flash it from there once you formatted everything internal... ;)
