Run Antutu Officer . If it checks out with that then stop worrying. If it doesn't. Proceed further in researching how to spot an S8 fake...

I had the same problem a few years ago with an HTC. It would show battery at 100% but only work when plugged in. Turned out to be a hardware problem, a bad connection to the battery. Either a bad cable or problem with corrosion on connector I never fixed it.

I never said it wouldn't work, did I? You'd do well over at Crackberry. Their all a bunch of cranky know-it-alls too.

Re: Initial impressions- I'm on the fence 1. So, knowing all of this, you still bought the Oppo? 2. You mentioned poor customer service as a reason not to buy the Oppo, Have you dealt with HTC customer service? Its non-existent. Plus, HTC is crap quality. 3.,Still waiting for multiple 'true...

Cheers for pointing out my mistake. It is the Mi MIX not MAX & you're correct it is missing the LTE band 13. But Band 13 is the MAIN LTE band for Verizon (For ATT it's band 17) That may present a problem depending upon your area. Plus, no CDMA backup...

Xiaomi has a pretty aggressive security app. I'd go into it and check your permission settings. Maybe there is one preventing it from connecting?

Pokemon GO is a battery killer. I'd suggest you remove it for a day and see what your battery life is then. My guess is that this is the culprit.

I think it would be a good idea to look at the MIUI forums for your answer. It is a much more comprehensive forum for Xiaomi phones and a very active community. Xiaomi MIUI Official Forum

Mi 4 all the way. Flagship phone 2.5 years ago and still a great phone. Xiaomi supports and updates their phones much more consistently and there is a great community of Mi users.

Old thread I know, but she may be referring to your Mi Cloud account. The phone will ask you to sign into you Mi Account every time until you do it. Not sure of the solution other than her trying to sign up for a new Mi Account.

This. Go to the Xiaomi website for instructions

They are Flagship phones at mid-tear price. Don't let the low price fool you. They are top quality in every way. I have two.
