I bought a Mi4c a few months ago convinced it was a great phone that could replace my Nexus 5 and yes it is a good phone with good specs but I bought it also when Xiaomi announced it would update to Marshmallow. My Nexus 5 was already running under MM so, I thought it would be a matter of a couple of weeks (Xiaomi announced update in Decembre) Today months have passed, many manufacturers like Motorola, Sony and even Samsung have updated some of their models even Moto E...but still nothing for Mi4c. Xiaomi makes good phones and I thought it was better than others cheap Chineses makers. It wants to be compared to Apple but it lacks support and compromise to existing customers. I probably had placed my expectations too high. Am I the only one? Next time I will buy a Nexus again.
Xiaomi uses Miui rom. There is no mutch different between MM based miui and Lollipop based miui.
Miui have most features of MM has already.

thats right! because of that i have no stress to get MM.
sMIUI runs great for me and have many many features!
IMO, they have too many devices to support. Just look at this table:

Many vendors only support their devices for 1 year, some 2, but here you can see Mi2S which is almost 3 years old and is still a supported device. I don't think Xiaomi has big enough development team to maintain all of those devices to match current base Android version. Moreover, they're advertising MIUI, which should have the similar experience between supported devices regardless the base Android version. 3 devices are already out with MM (still beta?), just wait for Mi4c turn. What features do you need from MM anyway?
"What features do you need from MM anyway?" My thoughts exactly.
Looking at the new features of MM, the ones that are interesting are the memory manager, per-app permissions and battery management. These are all things MIUI has built in already. Which probably also makes it that much harder to integrate into a new MIUI version.
Most of the other changes are cosmetic and most likely would not be reflected in MIUI anyway, when the MM update does come out.
or you can install TS CM13 - built by TS team or TS broken OS. They are 6.0 MM and pretty stable now. Great team with great supports and speed.

The only real feature M offers over L is SD card as internal storage. Since Mi4c has no external storage you aren't missing anything. MIUI already does a Doze feature killing everything in the background.
Doze, per app permission and memory management are thé most wanted feature un MM.
MIUI is good and I don't criticize his developping team very active. I am only mad at Xiaomi marketing team making announcements and not complying.

Like a few of us mentioned so far, those features have been built into MIUI for a long time already. So rejoice, you have your most wanted features
On a serious note, it's probably reasonable to assume the MM rollout will follow the release of the new flagship, the Mi 5. Which I think is like a day or two away. You can bet that'll be released with the latest MIUI iteration of android.

Please provide at least 1 quote from Xiaomi officials that said Mi4c will get MM soon.
And no.. gizchina "xiaomi mm devices updates schedule" is not official.
i use Broken that is 6.0 and it works perfectly...
if u want 6.0 that bad get it...
Smartlock is there but it is not working at all... That would be nice to have it, dont know if under Android 6 or 7, or actual 5.1...
Enviado desde mi iPad utilizando Tapatalk
i believe it's a matter of time before the mi4c reveives marshmallow... but judging from xiaomi history mm won't come anytime soon... i'd estimate (personally) early autumn the soonest......
Am I the only one that think Xiaomi won't update Mi4c to MM?

I guess so. Since Mi 3/4/5/Note get it, there's no reason to skip Mi 4C/4S/Note Pro/any other still supported devices. However, they seem to be in a discussion now, for supporting newer Android base with locked bootloader or stay with older one with unlocked bootloader.
Why shouldn't it get MM? The Mi4S just got released and should therefore get it, which is very similar to the Mi4C.
Maybe they will update Mi4c straight forward to "N" just like Mi4 which jumped lollipop to MM.

I pre-ordered a Mi 4c, but I haven't received it yet. I live in China, and I bought a Mi 4c for my China Telecom sim card and China Mobile sim card. Now I am using a Nexus 5 for my China Unicom sim card. I would like to have a similar experience on the Mi 4c.
I'm using nexus 5 too. I brought a xiaomi4c from tmall, and received it in September 23. i'm also looking forward to Cyanogenmod.
me too moved over from N5
eagerly awaiting for stock rom to be made available, hoping some mi4i devs can help!

btw I moved over from N5 due to 'sticky' power button; otherwise it was a rock solid!
The back cover of my Nexus 4 broken, got myself the 3GB / 32 GB version. Really like the form factor. I am so used to pure Nexus, I install the Google Now launcher, Gmail, etc, almost everything feel like like my Nexus 4.

CM12.1 might be coming soon
Found a thread at MIUI forum, CM12.1 might be coming soon..
The thread is in Chinese language.
miui.com/thread-3010052-1-1.html
Screenshot
The only reason I haven't bought this phone yet is there isn't yet a CM port. Wish it would come out soon...
Need Euphoria OS!
Would love it if Exodus was ported
Hi Guys,
It seems CM 12.1 is out but i dont know if it's for the 2G+16G or 3G+32G but i think it's for the 3G+32G didn't have it tested so if you do it do be carrefully !
I uploaded here : https://mega.nz/#!LBgRVIob!tQBTjbKCSQKYDK_7i-FxVq6SzDf335X6dnjCT6yb0qE

It seen that the CM12.1 for 4c have some bugs ( flashlight not working and cannot charge when phone is off) as stated on the OP post and I have not flash the rom yet. Waiting for the bugs fix version.
you'll be waiting a long time my friend, there's no such thing as a bug free version....
You just have to know which are annoying for you or not. Flashlight is not a big deal.
Will try this version this week-end and report back.
It is pretty amazing there's already a version out though !

Both versions work on the rom, there's no real difference in the kernels of the 2 devices.
Smartisan is one of the few Chinese manufacturers that pays serious attention to its design. The design of Nut pro 2 is quite stunning. More importantly, the specs is quite decent, 4+64, 6+64, 6+128 and 6+256, and i personally will like to go for the 6+128 version、5.99 Inch、Qualcomm Snapdragon 660、Face ID Recognition、USB Type C&OTG&Bluetooth 5.0
What do you guys think?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I own it.
Hi guys, I own and love everything about this phone. The design is fantastic, camera is great, screen is superb and the battery life is brilliant etc... There are a few work arounds I'm still having to get used to coming from an iphone, but there really are very few drawbacks.
The few niggly things (being based in the UK) are:
- I can't use Android pay as it doesn't pass Android safety net. Looking online this seems to be true of a lot of Chinese phones and all of Smartisans. This one is a biggie to me.
- All 4 app doesn't work on the phone
- Some of the unread badges (WhatsApp for example) don't show up on the stock OS. I believe this is an Android thing though? Same for no easy way to copy and paste images...
- it says 3G on the network even when you're getting 4G signal and speeds (I tested them using speed test).
Other than these though I couldn't be happier. Especially for the money. The phone really is beautiful, more so than I was expecting.

Are you still happy with this device? Seems to offer most bang for the buck of all chinese upper midrange phones. Do you have any major problem with notifications, whatsapp for instance?
Google play market is installed directly without any messing around, but were you able to find a way to root it?

Hi there, I’m using this phone for about 6 weeks now and I’m happy with it too.
For the money it’s a great device, looking beautifully. The 128/6GB variant is very smooth in all situations.
It’s easy to install Google from the Smartisan store, search for gugi app and afterwards you’ll find Play Services an Play Store working.
Screen and battery life are great, 4g is displayed now (after update) when receiving 4g signal. Before it always said 3g.
Sound quality is average, the camera is not bad but I expected a bit more from it (less pronounced colors, a little less contrast and less noise in some occasions). It seems the hardware of the camera is good enough, it just needs further tweaking in my opinion (i am a camera nerd, owning Vivo Xshot before).
I received already 4 updates, mainly for tweaking and stability but I never encountered a crash so far.
Idea Pills, Big Bang are nice to haves, software features are good but some are not so easy to find out. As are the settings for Google apps.
Notifications of WhatsApp is working for me, however you do need to change settings in the app manager otherwise Messenger and WhatsApp for instance freeze at 5 minutes after closing the app (for battery savings). Therefor it’s important to get settings right.
All in all I think for the money it’s a good buy.
I just received this phone with a "global rom" but now it will not update. Does anyone know where I can find the stock ROM and the update procedure. Thanks in advance

I've recieved my Smartisan Nut Pro 2 Smartphone this week! I was so impressed. This is really one of the best looking (and performing) Smartphones.
But as @reefmonger I have the same problem with the fist OTA update I recieved.
It will download, but when installing it just comes back with: Error --> Press Volume UP + Power button to return...
I'm looking for a way / file to install the update manual. It's about Version 4.1.6. I'm now running V4.0.4.
Hope anyone has got an idea or better: the solution

So a difference in Chinese / Global / international version ??

I have used thier flagsship for 2016 before (Smartisan M1L for 1 year), and now I am using this Nut Pro 2 and have been using it for about 3 months;
There are some points I think you need and others need to know:
1) Smartisan does not upgrade Android version. so if your phone released with Android 7.1.1, it will stick with forever; but they update the security patches after few of monthes ( 4-12 months )
so don't expect big updates, the maximum update size you will get is 400GB
2) The old phones get the new features (related to softwaare) that packeged in the newest phones, no matter what version of Android is.
3) The Nut Pro 2's camera is very sensitive, mine' camera glass got wrekt but it is still functioning and no any effect to the quality
4) Updates changelog always in chinese, but you can translate it using Big Bang feature.
5) others around you can hear the voice of the caller or the one you are talking to with vie Nut Pro 2.
6) the company is going to release another new phone in April, you can check thier official forums http://bbs.smartisan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=182
I hope it is flagship, I will buy it and sell my Nut Pro 2 then
7} there is upcoming major update ( Software version 4.5.0 and size will not be higher than 400GB unless you are on very old ROM) - mine is now on version 4.1.7.1 (the latest version for now)
the chinese people are testing the beta now.
8) you can delete 90% of the bloatware and some of main apps such as the primitive calculator.
9) You cannot root the smartisan phones, at least not the new phones.

Well this is something Vivo has to answer.
They need desperately bring new re design UI to Nex S as was their No 1 flagship that sold not only in mainland China but internationaly.
Only then will gain respect from user base aspect by strongly support their previous flagship on software matter.
Or else Vivo will loose many current and future customers and will not buy future smartphone by them.
Personal talking no matter what Vivo do I'm going to purchase OP7 day one if all the rumors come true(4000 battery,pup up camera and no redicules notch or holls)
I prefer Oxygen no matter how Fantouch will evolve.
I'm user who like a lot of customization and oneplus will deliver without any compromises.

Unfortunately as I can see this details review the native dark mode with Fantouch 9 it's useless as its light gray so no any impact to battery life and looks horrible.
Vivo should had add very dark gray or total black option even better.

I'll probably go from Nex S Global version to 1+ 7 Pro too. The nex S is a great phone, but I find it very disappointing that the Global Version is still on 8.1, I'm worried how this phone will receive future updates and this is not a problem on OnePlus's side, their developers are a lot closer to the community than Vivo's.

The Oneplus 7 sounds great but the lack of a headphone jack is a let down. Someone on another thread says he's downloading Pie to his Nex right now. If true I'm good with this phone for another year.

Yes oneplus 7 pro seems to be solid upgrade to Nex S.
But again will be missing 3.5 audio jack.
But the main differences is in software between Vivo and Oneplus.
Majority of western world users will prefer Oxygen than Fantouch that's the advantages for oneplus device.

Yes I saw that earlier. Thanks.
I've heard rumours that ColorOS 6 doesn't allow you to install custom Launchers, could some confirm or drop me an interesting link about what's so wrong with ColorOS before purchasing one?
Also, as I never had Oppo before, should rooting and removing Chinese market apps be easy?
Thanks!

If it's like the Chinese Funtouch version then probably not but there are workarounds for launchers I understand. Don't know about rooting and removing Chinese bloat.
First suggestion would be to wait for the Global model and second is to check the Oppo forums on here and elsewhere.
So... is this video up-to-date then?

I'm asking this because I don't have too much that I ask from Android at all - Nova Launcher + quick-shortcut to turn on LED lamp (e.g. long press on some button) and honestly I would be happy enough

The video looks old because the phone is definitely an old model. What do they say on the Oppo forums.
I long press the volume down button on my Nex. Probably the same for the Oppo. Again, you're asking in the wrong forum.
I like the oppe reno 10x much more than the Oneplus 7. But if there is no development possible on the reno it's worthless

There is an Android Q preview already for the Oppo Reno and soon Oppo Reno 10x Zoom.

But the main question is why would i upgrade my phone within just 9 months?
I'm looking for information about this phone, as I'm considering buying one to replace an ageing Sony Xperia Z5 Compact.
Specifically I'm trying to find out if this phone will receive the upgrade to Android 11, when it comes out (I can purchase it with Android 10 installed).
I'd also like to know if it will actually receive OS updates at all, eg security updates.
I've tried emailing the company directly several times but either receive no reply at all, a canned response that doesn't answer my questions, or mixed-up answers that don't seem to be related to my questions at all.
I've also noted that the X8 doesn't seem to be on Google's list of Certified devices (https://storage.googleapis.com/play_public/supported_devices.html), and again, a question to Ulefone about this is ignored.
Hopefully someone here knows some information about this phone and company?
Or has anyone got any experience with the Armor X8?
As an alternative - if anyone can recommend an IP68 phone (preferably a rugged phone) that has a smaller than 6" screen (preferably smaller than 5.5"), which is Android 10/11 compatible (ie will receive upgrades), has an SD card slot, and has chip/memory specs significantly better than the Xperia Z5 Compact, I'd appreciate it.

I got it for my wife a few days ago.
It is a certified device.
Whether it will support official updates or not, since it comes with Android 10 and having a Mediatek chipset, it shouldn't be too hard to port newer releases to it. There's some thread here about that for the Armor 6 IIRC.
Overall I'd say it's one of the best phones you can get for its price.

The Armor 8 is on Google's list - but not the X8. Do we think for certain that they're the same under the skin?
I'm not much of a modder/rooter, generally quite happy with the stock OS, but I do like to receive the security updates, and OS upgrades when they're available. Maybe having a Sony has spoilt me?
They are most definitely not the same under the skin (the X8 is newer and slightly less powerful), but I have had it in my hands and it is certified.

Without wishing to be argumentative ( ) - what's telling you it's certified?
Google Play says it's certified (bottom row, "dispositiu certificat" = "certified device")

Good stuff!
Have you received any security updates or OS upgrades?
Considering she's had it for 10 days...
No, no system updates yet.
Just for reference: I received this, rather abrupt email from Ulefone today:
Hello,
Armor X8 will receive the security updates for Android 10, but cannot upgrade to Android 11.
Best regards

Hi,
Can you confirm if the Armor X8 will receive security updates for Android 10?
Will other phones from Ulefone receive an upgrade from Android 10 to Android 11?
Is it just the Armor X8 that will not receive any upgrades?
Many thanks

I think I'll be looking elsewhere for my next phone.
I know this is an older thread...
but here are the official Android 11 files for the Armor x8, also linked from their support site:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wh8BOdNX0aMUDdOt66FyiktFyq5BIZ7t
They state you will brick it...I just did mine 10 minutes ago, works like a charm! and no more ADUPS !!

ditto .... this being an older thread
treb42 do you know if your updatable phone was a SH1 or SH2 model as disclosed at the bottom of settings/about phone?
Has anyone else tried to update this for SH1 or SH2 models (or is this irrelevant and I am barking up the wrong tree)
Looking at the warning on the upload page my "guess" is its associated with the SH1 (same column) and no such warning sits under SH2.
Great little tough-phone and I'm using adb to manage ADUPS but I'd prefer to banish it to the deepest depths of hell
