Hello I just bought the phone on 27 September and I have 3 questions :
1. is it normal for signal to be weak from time to time? 3g mostly and sometimes 2g as well.
2. how do I do dual boot?
Steps i did : Backup miui (didn't find where the backup was so i could transfer it to PC), then enable true dual boot, everything was gone even in internal memory and i couldn't mount usb to pc in CWM, luckily i have a usb OTG , and i installed slimkat to system one after doing a wipe, then i booted to system 2 and was shocked that miui started with the setup from slimkat and then the launcher started and i was in MiUi, but everything was bugged, i kept getting FC of all kind of stuff. so i checked the internal memory, nothing was there, then i got mad, downloaded official stable rom v23, put it on a usb drive, went to CWM disabled true dual boot, formated data cache and system for system 1 and 2, then i installed from usb flash the miui.
Question is, how do i make a normal dual boot without FC and everything running smoothly. I have CWM recovery v 6.0.5.0
3. How is the battery life? What software are you using and what apps.
Thanks!
ok, so i found out how to dual boot properly, it remains only 1 and 3 questions
Does your M3 WCDMA version or CDMA version? The signal with Xiaomi mobile always weakly, Its normal. especially of the CDMA/WCDMA version.
About Battery life, 7-10 hours is ok. If your phone more than 10hours,that's perfect.
i have the WCDMA version, today i got a sms from Orange saying that i missed a phone call 3 hours ago :/ wtf.. :/ im scared man.. i got 25 more days to send it back and get my refund ..i dont want to have a defective unit
how do u achieve 6-7 hours of screen time?

Hello Xda-Users:
I've been lurking this forum since I got my X8, like one year ago. I had a lot of problems with the stock kernel and ROM and they all got away when I flashed the excellent nAa kernel with the marvellous MiniCM7 rom. Anyway a few weeks ago I decided to try the S2Ext method in order to gain memory. I installed the app and prepared my sd card with variable results as I think it had a racing condition in which if the phone was booted and the sd card wasn't ready it made the cellphone crash in the worst of ways, though a reboot helped to get it straight.
Well I got fed up and decided to flash a fresh copy of MiniCM7 again so I could use the phone with no problems. Everything went OK except that the mobile connection now doesn't work. For convenience I will bullet point what I have done to this day in order to fix this:
I tried to repair the phone via PCC but it says it cannot find any software for my phone (Also it shows the phone as a X10 for some reason)
I tried to use SEUS but it crashed on start for no reason (My current pc is Windows 8 x64)
I reseted the partition in my SD card erasing the ext4 part
Got around and flashed a stock kernel I found with some ROM that could use it but that still didn't work
I tried my sim card over other cellphone and 3G worked
Of course I configured my APN accordingly and Mobile data is enabled
Also I ran a
Code:
logcat -b radio
and it showed a Wrong Network Type:0
Any hints? Every bit of information might help to solve this mystery.
Thanks!

Full wipe the rom or reinstall if you can, & i got to say mobile data problems is not related to kernel (I'm taking about nAa & alf kernels,they're the most bugless kernel for x8)
Do not repair with seus or pcc, they'll lock your bootloader again
& remember to reduce paragraphs in the next thread so others will answer you

Hello guys,
I was looking for the answer for a long time, but I didn't find a solution for my case. My problem is a serious battery drain AFTER making a call. When i finish a call, the battery starts to lose about 7-10% of the energy per hour, even though the phone is not used and is in the same place as previously (so its not a problem with the poor gsm signal). The only solution is to restart my phone - it helps immediately, but onlyas long as there is no new phone call made.
I have installed Better Battery Stats, what I could notice is:
- in "CPU states" before the call the processor stays in "Deep sleep" for most of the time, after a call it remains at 100MHz
- in "Kernel wakelock" a gpsd process appears and takes most of the time
GPS is switched off all the time.
I think that the problem had appeared after one of the CM 11 update, however during the last month i thing i have installed really many different ROMs - CM 9, several CM 10 versions (10, 10.1, 10.1.3 etc), finally i came back to the stock 2.3.6, unfortunatelly - nothing has changed. Before each ROM installation i did factory reset and cache wipe. Yesterday i alsohad formatted internal SD card, after that i installed CWM 2.7.4 with CM 10.1.3 (this was working well couple of months ago) and completely nothing has changed.
Could you please work out the reason and a solution? Its obvious for me that the problem comes after making a call and now I really can't work out any ideas how to solve the problem. Yesterday I changed the radio ROM - no change at all...
Hope you guys can help me
Strange issue. Did you recently try to format /system before installing any of those ROMs? It is usually not required in the i9000 threads, but for all other devices formatting /system is a substantial step to insure that the next installation will be fine.

Thanks for reply. As far as i remember - I did it last time (as well as I formatted /boot, /data, /cache and rest of the format options from Mount and Storage in CWM).
Hy guys,
I'm facing some issues with my Z3C. I bought it 2 weeks ago, unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightly on day 3. Updated CM twice with OTA since then.
My problem is that the "sim" card (GSM/LTE) is randomly not noticed by my phone, like if its removed. I checked the sim tray, everything is stable and well seated, the sim is also OK, never had an issue with it. I just have it in my pocket or on the desk, pick it up to do something and there is already a No SIM icon on the status bar, and "Emergency calls only" If I lock the phone. Only a restart solves it.
I could not find any noticeable trigger which would lead me to the source of the problem. Sometimes its OK for 2 days sometimes it happens 2 times a day. The really frustrating part is that when the sim "disconnects" the phone starts to heat up significantly. I usually only notice it because my phone is burning my pocket. Also it looses around 20% battery before I notice it. After the restart everything is fine, the phone cools down.
Went to the Cyanogen forums for some possible solution for the problem, they suggested that I should try to update my baseband to the latest version, and if that still doesn't help, do a full wipe / clean install of CM nightly. I tried downloading the latest firmware using FlashTool and XperiFirm, creating an ftf, and flashing only AMSS_FSG, AMSS_FS1, AMSS_FS2 included into the flash ( I only wan't to flash the baseband ?!?).
My question would be: Anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it somehow? If not, anyone could please help me with a small guide how to ONLY update the baseband of my Z3C (D 5803) running CM 12.1 nightly on twrp recovery?
When I tried the flash above, my baseband version did not change. Currently I'm on "8974-AAAAANAZQ-00005-40" Baseband version, and I would like to move to the latest most stable one.
Thanks for the help in advance!
If it were my Z3c, I would flash back to stock completely and then reflash with Cyanogen. This is a device on which you have the freedom to do that, and that gets the job done safely. Backup your CM install, and then flash everything.
Hi,,
I'm running OOS 4.1.6. ,Rooted with SU,Custom Recovery TWRP and Elemental X Kernel Installed..
Recently I flased some 8-10 Fonts in the phone via TWRP...But Only one which is last flashed is alone taken..Is there any option to choose the various fonts installed via twrp??
Also My Phone is getting heated whenever I've a Conference call (even I use Handsfree) or Charging Up (it takes roughly 60-90 Minutes for a Full Charge)
What may be the reason behind and What may be the solutions ??
Regards!
I was wondering if one of you beautiful coders can point me in the right direction.
So i manged to get it booted running, making phone calls, updating fine. However, I can't connect toany wifi network, it just saves it without attempting to make a connection and mobile data only works when plugged in usb tethering, im assuming thats because it triggers a service and assigns itself an ip address, as soon as i disconnect usb cable it drops data.
So im on a sm-n950f greatlte Exynos
I have a tiny crack on the corner of my screen every other rom ive tried doesnt wake up the screen cause of it, this is the only rom that i can unlock/wake my screen up like normal.
With bootloader unlocked and twrp already installed
i patched Treble project convert dot zip via TWRP 3.7
Then flashed twrp 3.3 Reboot back into TWRP
Flashed no verify (Some reason it won't install on later twrp)
Flashed RevOSLavender's Miui 12GSI Rom (Tried flashing it with 3.7, got boot loop)
Then installed treble's vendor dot zip
Then flashed RevOSLavender again, some reason theres 2 system image partition, sometimes, really depends which twrp i used to flash the convert zip, so i flashed it again because this time it gave the option to flash both partition.
Rebooted into Miui, took about 10mins the first time

Update, not sure what I did, but I clicked on some random file while browsing in root explorer and it executed/extracted a bunch of random things which knocked out my root access but got WiFi working, just need to figure out the mobile data portion if anyone has a clue,
I'm on a sm-n950f greatlte Exynos
Ok I got the mobile data working, I think I've figured it out. I signed into the Xiaomi account from my mi note 10 which for some reason can't make outgoing calls. So while flashing and running random scripts, I some how got xiaomi's provisioning frameworks script to work? Because it just keeps on trying to sync data, only problem now is to get the complete miui experience it needs a 2 step SMS verification to keep get their awesome skins, themes, and other settings. Yeh cause it was trying to sync with my old fone, it sent me all the hidden apps and services it normally configures after flashing/resetting
ok so this is what happens when it tries to activate your simcard / services. But you have an invalid device id /IMEI
