    My Mi-2 Review

    I Alain - I have seen your review and the video I have seen numerous places from ibuygou's test. My review is my own and my apologies if it is not as in-depth as yours. This was my first review of a device, so hopefully next time I can exceed your expectations. :)

    The best case for this device

    Hi All, I received my IMAK Cowboy Quicksand case - It's semi-hard (a little flexibility off of the phone, but solid when on the phone) - It has a nice gritty feel to it. Lip just comes past the fron of the screen so there is a little bit of protection for the screen if you place it face...

    Has anyone tried a 2600mAh extended battery?

    I realize this - That's why I wanted to see if anyone had used this successfully/safely. Thanks!

    Has anyone tried a 2600mAh extended battery?

    I found someone selling a 2600mAh extended battery on Aliexpress and wanted to see if anyone has bought/used it. It looks like the battery would fit in the current casing, so you wouldn't need the added size of the official 3100 mAh - As I'm enjoying the stock battery I figure this could be a...

    Xiaomi m2 outside China

    Hi David - Welcome aboard! You won't need to root the phone and it already comes pre-installed with recovery so moving forward is pretty easy. The easiest way to solve the gps situation would be to use recovery to flash the latest English miuiandroid Rom as this will fix your GPS issues as...

    Xiaomi Mi2 Battery life better on JLB instead MIUI...

    As you know, I'm learning as you are so I definitely don't have the answer to the gps problem, but I am pretty sure I read a solution somewhere. The issue you're having is that it's trying to connect to the China GPS system which won't work for us over here in North America. I believe you...

    MI-2 Device Review

    It keeps getting better, and better, and better - the only other thing I am waiting on now is case I ordered off of Aliexpress. I'm hoping it makes it here by the end of the week, but expect it may be next week.

    My Mi-2 Review

    Agreed - I can't stand phablets. I can't understand carrying something that size as a phone; way too big. My only other complaint is the lack of backlit LED for the keys.

    Xiaomi Mi2 Battery life better on JLB instead MIUI...

    Are you planning to flash JBL 7 or JBL 10? Either way, let me know how it goes. I've really come to like MIUI, but would consider a return to stock if I can push my battery life a bit.

    MI-2 Device Review

    Thanks! I feel like the weight is less of a concern on my end - Looks like I'll probably order one sooner than later.

    My Mi-2 Review

    Agreed - I wish they made the screen a touch bigger, but I do not find it to be too small by any means. I have an iPhone from my company for work and its screen size drives me nuts - among other things.........

    MI-2 Device Review

    I find my concerns with it being too thick amusing considering that before my Nexus 4 and HOX I was using a SE X10 Mini Pro. While it was a tiny phone, it was thick as a brick. I figure the thickness wouldn't bother me much, but it is always hard to tell until it is in hand.

    My Mi-2 Review

    Thanks! I was a bit sad about leaving my HOX, but I'm really enjoying my Mi-2. Thank you sharing your experiences with me thus far, it's been a great help!

    Contacts Move From Nokia E72 to Xiaomi Mi-2

    The first time you link your gmail account to the phone it will sync all of your contacts. After this, it will automatically sync changes to your contacts between gmail and your phone unless you disable the sync. So you will only need to manually sync it if you turn this feature off. Is it...

    My Mi-2 Review

    Hello All - I recently needed to find a new android phone for use on at&t network in the US - I was looking only at unlocked phones, focusing on quad core phones, preferably 2gb of Ram, and 32gb+ of onboard memory (or at least SD card expansion). I mostly recently was on the HTC One X and...

    MI-2 Device Review

    How do you feel about the size of the phone with the extended battery? I've considered ordering it, but the size makes me a little nervous.

    Contacts Move From Nokia E72 to Xiaomi Mi-2

    Once you have them on your PC, import your contacts into gmail via the web. Gmail can import contacts through vcard files or csv files. Once your contacts are imported into gmail, they will sync to your phone via Google (assuming you have your phone set to sync w/ Google services)

    Contacts Move From Nokia E72 to Xiaomi Mi-2

    The problem is that I do not believe you can sync your contacts between Google and Symbian directly on the e72, so you would need to sync your e72 with your computer and then sync your contacts on your computer with Google.

    Contacts Move From Nokia E72 to Xiaomi Mi-2

    I moved from an e72 to android back around 2009 - I'm not sure if there are easier ways to do this, but I you could copy your contacts to your sim card and then import them into your new phone.
