Need a really good cam to capture that display, that too with proper positioning. Max out the brightness and reduce lights coming from surroundings

The news of OnePlus One making its way here is giving me second thoughts. Or how about, OnePlus Two ?

So going through the Flipkart reviews, there is one problem you will be getting out-of-the-box

The infinite boot loop when the phone dies due to low battery. Currently the solution as per the user is that you will have to put it on charging to at least 4% before using turning it on

I believe no one has stuck into a boot loop as of now. They say that's a bug in the MIUI update, but the devs should look into it ASAP

I'm not really sure, it's a software bug my phone died day before and it booted just fine after plugging in. The charging started off 1%
Man I might keep this phone, a lil dim edge is nothing compared to all these troubles :/

Update
For those who are using Maps make sure you close maps BEFORE stopping GPS, instead if you stop GPS before exiting maps, it will keep looking for gps and will continue to do so,somehow,even after clearing it from memory using the task manager...which is how i ended up draining my phones battery to nil

the standby battery usage is simply amaing it barely used any yesterday night

What about your trip to the service centre ? Is Xiaomi responding ? I just wish if I get mine I won't need to run around for service centers

i havent done much , few minutes back sent a mail to service.in@xiaomi.com asking for a replacement, lets see how they respond

im still weighing my options ,the defect isnt something that could affect me on a daily basis and provided if this doesnt progress, i think ill be able to overcome the minor OCD im having about this

My nearest service centre is 80km away and they arent picking up the phone , so going there without any confirmation will be a waste of time

Now if you look at flipkart reviews almost 10% have issues ,ie they have rated it as star..
Im also hoping I dont end up with a far worse unit than i currently have

Its not 10 % it's far a lesser amount; as always flipkart reviews are just bogus trolls or rants, even though people have asked those reviews to be moderated it just goes unheard! Its done by people who hardly have seen a device in the hand!

Hey why don't you contact flipkart for replacement instead of going after the service center. They have a pretty hassle-free 30 days replacement policy. Try shooting them an e-mail.

You will not have a guaranteed replacement and he might have to wait longer if at all he is looking for a replacement, one can really tell after today's sale at 2PM

Sold out under 2minute it seems!!

Well if I was stationed at Bangalore I would have called flipkart Straight but now I'm at a place where it would take at least 2-3 days for their stuff to reach, besides I have read couple of posts on Facebook where flipkart haven't responded to replacement queries.. So I decided to try xiaomi first

Damn...sold out at 2:03pm. WTH@#$%*

I'm done. This lucky draw strategy is annoying

As a side note, on Flipkart I see that all reviews, yes ALL OF THEM, have vanished at the time of posting

BTW I saw posts on Mi India FB page that the phone went OOS literally within seconds after 2 PM. This is pretty much not possible. So either Xiaomi and Flipkart don't have any stock and are just hyping it up OR Flipkart still haven't fixed stuff up on their side.
