    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'.

    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...

    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 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 why does the G3 score so low on antutu benchmark?

    My Antutu score is lower than my G2 also but I think that it is because of the huge screen. It scores higher than my G2 in Quadrant which is more CPU intensive.

    Post [Q] Can't Rename Copy or Write files to External SD card

    I don't think that you should have to root your phone just to change files on your SD card. I had a G2 and I had to take it back for warranty fixes two times and they had a big sign at the front of the LG warranty repair center, rooting your phone voids your warranty:( . I don't think that you...

    Post [Q] US T-Mobile S4 won't receive 3G international

    Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try. AIS Thailand, my carrier, uses 2100 so I figured the T-Mobile should get 3G here also. I already went into settings and set it to GSM/WCDMA auto, I didn't see the other setting about WCDMA preferred.
