    Post Night Sight Available

    Thanks for the info. I downloaded 5.3 here, com.google.android.GoogleCamera_5.3.015.199570961-42349277_minAPI28(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk, but when I try and install it I get the message 'problem parsing file'. I have a stock MI 6 with international ROM, although I read that you can...

    Thread Night Sight Available

    Is there an app or custom ROM that will install the Pixel night sight camera on our MI 6s?

    Thread Fingerprint Scanner Doesn't Work

    I've been using my MI 5 Plus for a couple of weeks now and everything is working except the fingerprint scanner. I saw in the MI 5 forum that this is a common problem. Several solutions were given including letting the battery run completely down but this didn't work with mine. I don't want to...

    Post Search music for ringtone

    Well I answered my own question. I couldn't set the MP3 as my ringtone from the music or file app that comes with the phone so I installed ES File Explorer, found the file, opened it with the ES Media Player that is part of the app, and there was the option to set as ringtone. So if anyone else...

    Thread Search music for ringtone

    I'm just setting up my MI 5S Plus and I'm used to using a custom ringtone that I always put in my music file. When I go to set the ringtone, I click the + at the bottom and what looks like some of my music MP3s come up but the one I want as a ringtone isn't listed. It's listed in the music app...

    Post Xiaomi MI5 Pro (128)

    I think that we need a separate forum for the MI 5 Pro.

    Post Would you recommend getting the Mi 5???

    I come from a Samsung S6 and my MI 5 has the global ROM but I find that it has much less bloatware than my Samsung and everything that I have wanted to do works perfectly. All of my apps work fine and I really enjoy having a screen that is bright enough to see in daylight. I see some guys on...

    Post Would you recommend getting the Mi 5???

    No, I live behind a hill that doesn't have the best signal and that's the main reason that I bought the phone, I think that the Snapdragon chip has a much better phone radio than Samsung's Exynos chip that we get in Samsung phones in Asia. With the MI 5 my dropped call problem disappeared. Mine...

    Post Would you recommend getting the Mi 5???

    I've been using the MI 5 for about a month now and I really like it. I was coming from a Samsung S6 and I think that the MI 5 is every bit as good. The things that I really like about it are the bright screen, one of the most visible outside that I have seen, and the slim body and the light...

    Post International availability

    I bought mine last week in Cambodia, a 64 gb for $490. Probably a little too much but I'm pleased with the phone so far.

    Post Make mp3 Ringtone?

    Thanks for the reply lokoros, it seems that I hadn't given my phone time to propagate my music to all of the necessary apps so nothing showed up. Now it seems that there are several easy ways to do it.

    Thread Make mp3 Ringtone?

    I just started using my MI5 today, installed my sim and added my apps, music, photos, etc. Everything seems to be working OK but I can't find a way to use one of my music mp3's as a ringtone. I've been using the same ringtone for years and don't want to change. The only one that is listed on my...

    Thread Two Sim Cards?

    I'm on a trip and just purchased a Xiaomi MI5. I have been setting it up with wifi and putting all of my favorite apps on it but thought that I would wait until I get back home before I put my sim card in and start using the phone every day. First impressions are very good but I would like to...
