My mi mix 2 with original battery have screen on time 5 hours. With lineage you can expect littke less. 4 to 4.5 hours.

mi mix 2 July 2020
I got one last July. It works perfectly and the battery is as new. It had never been used but you should probably check that the battery has been kept above 0% else it might be damaged. Mine lasts 1-2 days (2 days without charging if I don't use too much).

lol yes wrong place. but for battery. you pick any device. any rom. but customize it for battery with only two devices and you get the best battery for you. and those apps are 1. greenify 2. amplify (xposed) :fingers-crossed:

Split screen Pokemon GO simultanusly

Hello, I have read in some post that when we have 2 applications openened at the same time in split mode one of them get freezed when we use the other.
Someone say that it works with the 5 plus but not with the note 5 pro.
Does anyone succeded using 2 app running simultanusly on the note 5 pro ?
I wanted to buy a Xiaomi and I have to choose btw the 5 plus and the note 5.
Thanks
I was running two PoGos simultaneously without any of it getting freezed (only ocassionaly, but that was more of a lag). That was on 9.5.13, haven't tried on miui 10 beta yet.
Works fine with any Android 7 or higher Xiaomi phone. I tried or saw it working on Redmi 4x (too small screen for me but worked), Redmi Note 4, Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi Note 5, Mi 5s (gets hot, battery drained in 30 min), Mi Mix, Mi Mix 2, Mi Max 2 (works very well, battery lasts about 4h) to name a few.
Warning:
You must not turn off Miui Optimisation in Developer Options. I did this once and after a reboot, I could only play one instance per split screen and the 2nd instance completely froze until I clicked on it and vice versa.

Questions about Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Global 6/64

Going to buy this phone soon
I'd like to ask several questions regarding it
Which is the best ROM, Kernel, etc
- Good for gaming
- Longer battery life
Also does it support fast charging?
Did my research and it says yes but I have to buy other charger. Any recommended charger for it?
anyone gonna even reply? lol
You are not going to buy that phone. AI Global 6/64 doesn't exist. You did a poor research.
Ai ist China only ...
There is no "best" ROM but I like AEX or MIUI.
It Support quick Charge but is not certified so you may need to test some chargers. I use one from Anker.

well 'scuse me for not being a phone geek, there's a lot of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 type that I can't remember. First I thought my phone is Note 5 Pro but it's Oreo so I research again and I think mine is AI. And by Global, I mean it's Stable ROM, and support several language and not Chinese only. I just ask for some tips not for you to judge me. so F off
i use htc 10 charger for my note 5
from 1% to 100% in 2 hours or less
i use original cable from note 5

Is Mi Max 1 worth buying in 2018? or is there any better alternatives?

Hello everyone, I need your opinion and help
TLDR I need phone with big screen and good performance, is Mi Max 1 still worth buying in 2018?
Long Story
I need device with big screen and good performance vs price. After long searching, going back and forth in tablet or phablet
I found that Mi Max is one of the best contender, with old but strong SD 650 and humongous 6.5" screen.
There's Redmi Note 5 Pro with 5.99" screen, better performance but I already have Mi 6 with 5.2" display, the display difference isn't that much, so I think there's no point having Note 5 Pro.
on the other hand, Mi Max 2 is good but weak, and Mi Max 3 is beast but too expensive.
On the good side, Mi Max is big,cheap, and good performance and rich XDA community. There's less to no bug on each new developed ROMs, right? as Zenfone 2 user I'm jelly haha :silly:
On the down side, it's 2yrs old already, still use micro USB.
I find it difficult to find another device that can beat this proposition but I'm open to any new suggestions.
I'm thinking of buying the 3/32 variant around $124
I'm gonna use this phone for multimedia, little bit of gaming (PUBG, Vainglory etc), and probably as car HUD.
So, what do you think? is it still worth it? Is there any other alternatives?
Thanks in advance
A.f.a.I.c. there are no better alternatives yet. First of all, screen size and ratio is most important for me. All phablets have that ugly notch these days and no dedicated hardware buttons. I've been looking at the Mi Max 3, but found out it has no coloured LED notification light (how stupid is that?). Huawei Honor Note 10 may be an option, but don't like the EMUI shell.
What's wrong with micro USB? You could use one of these if you don't like the micro USB connector, a lot cheaper than buying a new phone
https://www.ebay.com/itm/RAXFLY-Mic...1b:m:m7hqOpyZpTqJRBibCHhC9_A&var=601537300954
The Mi Max 3 has much better camera but the CPU is not very fast, does not have NFC (AGAIN) and no LED colour notifications. I wouldn't but the 3/32, get a deal for the 652 ones or wait till something better comes our way.
maybe LG V20 ?
I just bought a LG V20 on aliexpress because it s shock proof, has removable battery, better camera and better performance (but smaller screen) than mi max 1.
I believe there ll be promotions next week on aliexpress and you ll be able to find them for less than 140E (so more expensive than the mi max 1 ... but maybe you ll be able to find them cheaper elsewhere ... I am in France and they have not be sold here so it was kind of logical for me to import it ... )

I don't trust LG. And it's not that big....
I would not buy the snapdragon 650 variant, maybe the one with 652 (3gb/64gb or 4gb/128gb). But just save up for the mi max 3. It is only $250, similar to the new price of the mi max 1.

I have the 650 variant, and it is a bit slow and youtube 2x speed freezes at 720p60fps or higher.
If your S650 device is having issues with 720p YouTube content then it is purely your private issue. I own Mi Max 1 3/32 for 2 years now and never had a lag/spike during watching any videos. This goes for YouTube, Twitch and many other services.
And now to the topic:
After 2 years I'm still able to get 3-4 days up with 9h sot (it used to be 10h+). Device is fast. Heck, I'm using miui 10 right now with CPU governor set to powersafe and battery optimization turned on - no lags at all. Modded gcam improves photos a lot. If you can get this phone really cheap then go for it. If you do not need such phone right now then do the same thing I'll do - wait until November sales (11.11 if I'm not mistaken) - most phones get their prices cut down a bit by then - and buy a Mi Max 3 (6.9 inches with same phone size will be great for media consumption). I used to change phones every 4-6 months. Mi Max is first phone I own for such a long time because there is simply no competition for this price.
No problems here with youtube or Twitch. I have the 652 variant, though.

Despite the color, the notification led of Mi Max 3 is barely noticable. They should allow to use the front flash instead.
Thank you for the responses so far, I really apreciate it, guys :highfive:

I agreed, no better alternatives yet for this such price vs display vs performance, and ofc notches be gone lol.
I have no prob with colorless LED Notification tho'
Honor Note 10 price rn is $510 for 4/64, that's crazy. Also I don't want to do the same mistake with Huawei/Kirin like I did with Asus/Intel. I would love to have stable custom ROM for once lol.
MicroUSB is just me being nitpicky hahaha, I don't have anything against MicroUSB tho, since most of my gadget still use it.
I also looking for that particular acc but Xiaomi Mi6 isn't compatible with magnetic adapter..meh..too bad (CMIIW)

NFC might not too important for now, not in my home country at least hahaha
Hm.. but how abt the custom ROM compability for 652? I heard 650 is more popular and stable.
I checked Mi Max SD652 3/64 is about $147

Nice idea, but V20 still too small, I wish they went full Max like Mi Max
The price difference not that high for the V20 2nd hand unit tho'

How about the SD 652 compability for custom ROMs? and also I read SD 652 consume battery lot more and over heat more than SD 650
here's the article https://www.techcenturion.com/snapdragon-625-vs-650-vs-652
And what about normal speed? does it struggle too at 60fps?
$250 is twice the budget I have right now for Max1 lol

Beta MIUI 10? Even my Mi6 didn't get official stable MIUI 10 yet lol
3-3days up? sounds promising hahaha
I'm thinking of putting Ressurection Remix in Mi Max tho' and I'd like to try gcam mod
The price rn still stable at $124
True, Max 3 have nearly identical physical size of Max 1. But the price is still outrageous (but it's a new new device ofc), I checked it's around $270 in here, price cut won't do them much justice.
I might not need such device urgently but I'm itching to buy one lol

Yea, MIUI 10 from Xiaomi.eu - most of Xiaomi phones got their builds there, you might wanna check it out. I had to switch back again to RR 5.8.5 due to WiFi drain for me on MIUI 10. $124 is a pretty good price for Mi Max. I'd go for it. Or just like I said before - wait until 11.11 (but I wouldn't expect for price to drop that much on Mi Max 1). After doing more research I think I'm gonna wait for some other phone to show up for upgrade, so looks like 1 more year with Mi Max for me . Mi Max 3 is not really an upgrade if you take a look on that closely (battery feels even worse). Who knows, maybe Xiaomi sub-brand POCOPHONE will show up with something interesing (F1 already looks promissing, but there is no IR blaster for remote nor NFC for payments, so already too much to give up).

Where to buy?

Hi y'all
This device is the one I should have waited for.. I jumped in and got a Mi Mix 2 about 3 months ago.. But coming from a Huawei Media Pad X2 it feels very small. I want the Mi Max 3...where is the best place to get one at the best price and shipped quickly to the United Kingdom? I want the 6gb/128gb model. My ceramic 8gb/128gb Mi Mix 2 should more than cover the cost
Cheers and thanks guys

EGlobalCentral.UK ordered mine from there, 4/64gb €244 with code SAVE559 . 1 week estimated shipping.
Edit: oops, saw too late that you needed the 6/64gb version
Wondering if Mi Max 2 feels very small how is Mi Max 3 going to feel any different!? Don't let bigger diagonal screen size fool you. The difference is for the software buttons which Mi Max 2 doesn't need....
Overall don't think you'll feel it any bigger... If I recall it correctly screen width is 1.3mm smaller on 3.
