Re: Since Xiaomi have lost their way, Huawei is "it"
Some of us have a life outside of the forums, so now is the first time I have logged in since my posting.
To clarify;
Other than SWMBOs iPhone, the house is Windows/Android/Ubuntu.
SWMBO is Chinese, so it is very difficult to sort out her phone problems when the phone is displaying Chinese text, ESPECIALLY if I am not familiar with the Apple OS.
It doesnt like playing with Windows, at least not when the PC is also in Chinese; we had big problems just getting it to recognise her phone network, needing a 3rd party program to override the OS (I forget the name, but it came from Australia).
Getting photos off of it can be a biotch, the easiest way is for her to upload them to QQ or WeChat and then for me to download them.
To be fair, the battery is still nearly as good as when she got it 2 years ago, but that "good" isnt very good, it spends more than half its life plugged into a 10,000mAh power bank.
If it wasnt for Xiaomi going all Apple, I would have been buying her one as a replacement, at least she could get support in Chinese.
I would also like to point out that Xiaomi update my phone every week, even though it is now 3 generations old (RedMi Note 3G). Depending on how you want to run it, you can have monthly stable updates, weekly beta updates, or nightly "developer" updates.
