Guest apple2005 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi all, I have installed MIUI ROM successfully in my zopo zp950 plus. But it is very new to me. The first thing I encountered is failure of updates. It says updates are available. But when I click on update, it take me to my TWRP recovery. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks.

Guest Frankish Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) It has come to my attention that these Chinese phones are bad for your bank account there is way too much choice and variation. I'm loving my THL W200 all except it could do with better battery life, sure it has two batteries but it's a pain to swap. I'm now looking at the MI3 and thinking should i buy when it is available?! I'll maybe see what Google come up with next but it will have to be amazing to beat the MI3. Judging by rumored/leaked specs i think maybe the MI3 is the best choice! On a side note why can't all companies release phones with software as stock as possible like the W200 it's a great stock rom.

Guest Titas Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 To recap, the Xiaomi Mi3 consists of a screen 5 inch Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels with glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3 , LPDDR3 2GB RAM , 16 or 64GB eMMC 4.5 ROM choice of a Sony 13 MP camera f/2.0 with dual LED flash, a 2 MP front camera, Wi-Fi 5 GHz, the 3G WCDMA 900/1900/2100 MHz , Bluetooth 4.0, the NFC , a Micro USB OTG connectivity, GPS and a 3050 battery mAh. Are you willing to wait another two months to offer you one of the best Android smartphones in the world at unbeatable prices or do you think that the Google Nexus 5 will be able to dethrone him?

Guest Titas Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 lol - I'm just trying to figure that out. Nexus is easier to buy, easier to run - the safest choice. Looks like Mi3 battery spec & camera spec is better tho & maybe the Gorillla Glass 3 screen? Haven't compared them in any depth tho. - in fact I've been following your info & comments with interest. I'll probably hang back until the dust settles around these two or even the Red Rice WCDMA & buy one as an early Xmas present. I've no idea which one yet tho! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 If the N5 specs are true and they hit those prices tillaz posted then the Mi3 is the better phone but the N5 is the best value for money plus updates.... And it's bound to get a MIUI port and a decent one too hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 i like both phones, but. the MI3 has no LTE/4G and 3 are updating their network in the uk for no additional cost at the end of the year (big thing for me LTE/4G) and i like miui but would not like to be stuck with it. best thing about a nexus for me is been able to build fully working CM / AOKP / PA etc, and port MIUI when its updated to 4.4 hardware wise they are nearly the same, even LG is providing the display from what i read, but i personally would choose the nexus 5 i also heard rumours that the 8mp camera is using new tech which would make it better if true (MEMS sensor) super fast focus and stuff, i watched a video of it will see if i can find it again here, the vids at the bottom http://phandroid.com/2013/10/02/nexus-5-mems-camera/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Yeah the fact it will have a variety of roms etc and i'm also on Three but i think the 3g is fast enough i have near instant page loading when browsing websites. Spend most my time on wifi too anyway... I really want a bigger battery though love the size of my W200 but the battery life is pitiful!

Guest Titas Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Yeah the Nexus is less hassle now & in future. As for camera rumours abound but either way it looks pretty good "Details on the Nexus 5's camera have, up until now, been a little murkier. Previous rumours of an 8MP camera with a MEMS sensor (for focusing after shots have been taken) appear to have been false. According to the Nexus 5 service manual, it'll pack in an 8MP camera with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) instead, which is very good news for smartphone photographers, if the LG G2's OIS-enabled camera is anything to go by. It should empower the Nexus 5 with particularly impressive low-light shooting capabilities, allowing for longer exposures to capture more light without increasing blurriness."

Guest Frankish Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 The hype is making me lean towards the Nexus but it's guaranteed to sell out within hours and i won't have the money til friday ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know what I mean by getting a phone and just leaving it, tried flashing the MIUI Rom, but it does not appear to have gone well, getting an 'unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped' error!! Time to seek help on MIUI forum!! Should have left well enough alone!! Edited October 14, 2013 by SG8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed MIUI ROM successfully in my zopo ZP950H but was having problems with the calls. The calls were diverted to one sim which is a data sim. I swapped the sims but still the calls were diverted to the same sim. I don't know why? Do you have the same problem? I had to uninstall and install the stock ROM.
