This...is a POINT.
Xiaomi secretly sending your info to Chinese servers
one thing it could be is diagnostic data, crash reports and stuff, which is actually important for making the phones better. anyone has idea of what is being sent yet?
ps. all those who suspect some kind of pan-nation intrigue to steal all your data, wanna know what exactly do security agencies do with all of everyone's cat photos? especially Chinese? There is a difference between every device being target-able, even having a backdoor or a pre-installed toolkit for doing various spy stuff, and actually going ahead and constantly using that backdoor on every device.

^Its better users / prospective buyers of/for MI3 take it with a pinch of salt what MI is sending through its PR channels, What Hugo is saying is neither entirely true. They cannot manage to damage their image at launch itself, so its a well planned PR strategy! So take it or not, upto you; but what they have been doing is really getting worse by the day! They are taking data! My data plan is currently 1GB, no luck to take it more from shitty telcom providers, and MI doing this too spoils the entire fun!
No wonder they havent yet realeasd the kernel for MI3 till now.

^The discussion is relating to Xiaomi, its better not to wade OT!
eh this was not malicious or spying, it was a bug in the system... easy to happen and there are many apps out there with such "holes" that sends data or saves private data without encryption. even twitter API had such holes, and facebook is swiss cheese in that respect

Exactly totally agree with you
some people are still delusioned and are actually defending xiaomi is even more absurd
Lets sum it up:-
No source code for public
Users info reaching a Chinese server
They issue an apology but we all know that's for formality's sake,they cant admit they were wrong right
Even changing ROMs cannot stop the flow of data to that server
Nothing wrong at all right

A bug which sends users data to an unknown Chinese server and even changing the rom cant stop the data from being uploaded and a closed source seems rather fishy to me especially since they started out as a custom rom maker for android which is supposed to be open source and open source is the reason xiaomi and miui were created
Best thing is to wait and see what happens next
