Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

The app isn't always accurate, I think it might only work for phones purchased through xiaomis official store, but many resellers source them elsewhere such as through carriers.
Best bet is cpu-z or antutu to verify hardware is as it should be. Or check that Mi Recovery is installed.
The battery issues could be explainable. Which miui version are you on right now?
I searched Mi Recovery on the phone and it came back with a Baidu search pae only. Its not there as any kind of app on the home screens either. I also took a look at this
http://en.miui.com/thread-35092-1-1.html
and from those comparison pictures I'm pretty sure its miui 5 I'm on. In the 'About Phone' menu the version comes back as JHECNBF30.0 which doesnt seem to mean a whole lot but the pics on the link above convince me its miui 5
Regards the battery, I'm even more frustrated with it today. I charged it for a good 5 hours yesterday, it went up to 97 and after an hours light web browsing (no vids or music) it was down to 80. This morning I used it for the same again for about 2hrs and its now down to 8% which is pretty woeful imo
I think it'll have to go back regardless of what line the retailer might try to spin. I'm gonna charge it up again now but I'm not that optimistic tbh 0 -

Sounds fake to me, sorry you got stung like that.0 -

Just as a follow up to my search for a cheap Chinese phone to tide me over until new phone announcements later in the year - as I mentioned in old thread I wanted an ECOO E04 but couldn't get it in blue (!) so I order an MLAIS M52, just to try an even cheaper phone. In the end I didn't like the overall feel of it and ended up doing an impulse buy of the ECOO E04 when it popped up on adverts in blue (from the lad who posted here a few times since, nice guy, he let me open the phone packaging and confirm it started up etc before money changed hands). Delighted with the E04, the better screen and extra 1 GB of ram seems to make a difference for my fairly heavy usage.
As an aside, that means there is a virtually brand new MLAIS M52 for sale! Search adverts for MLAIS or M52 to see it. I'm throwing in a tempered glass screen protector, unopened as it arrived after I got the ECOO. I've just today put the very latest stock lollipop update on the phone and it feels great - maybe I should have waited for that

Oh jasus, well spotted A pity he didn't have that up when I was looking for one
He's screwed up the IMEI (caused by the fact that some of the custom ROMs for this phone overwrite the NVRAM). This shouldn't be fatal but it's surprising he didn't sort it out before he tried to sell it.
Mine has the latest lollipop ROM on it, warranty from 2 weeks ago and an unopened tempered glass thingy.
I'd say his is worth a shot if you know what you're doing ROM/NVRAM wise. Otherwise make me an offer 0 -

Mi Recovery isn't a phone app. To check if its installed, turn off the phone then turn it on by holding down vol+ and power button.0 -

It says it can make calls so it's OK to mention it here
Anyone grabbed one of these?

The dual OS and specs are tempting but I wonder of storage space would be an issue. Windows 8.1 must take up a fair chunk of that 32gb.0 -
