    Same with mine…it says "processed at Hong Kong" as the last status…most likely it will be delivered 3-Jan…I can live with that, no dramas.

    • [Deactivated] on 31/12/2016 - 09:50

      I wouldn't be complaining at all with that result
      I have the same will be delivered by 5pm 3/1/2017
      In between public / new years holidays thats exceptionally bloody good for DHL
      and given I have always had no issues with customs and DHL I can live with this small delay :)

      I am keen as to try this Mimax out
      The galaxy s7 edge had being the biggest POS with this purple screen issue, sent back to eglobal for repair, whats the bet they try and worm their way out
      even the rep here won't reply to me, I will be fighting dont worry about that

      Worst case I'll convert to the MiMax and get the s7 returned and sold off

  • emddarn on 31/12/2016 - 00:57

    The charger that comes with the original packaging of Mi Max is only 5V 2Amp, though it supports Quick Charge QC3.0.

    Now, we need to look for a good bargain…

  • Mrbean007 on 31/12/2016 - 02:53

    The supplier is processing your order
    Is anyone else getting this ?

    • [Deactivated] on 31/12/2016 - 09:52

      nope, mines out for delivery by 3/1/2017 with DHL
      pretty good considering all the public holidays around this time of year
      5 business days is excellent from purchase to in my hand

    • mgtra on 31/12/2016 - 16:41

      I ordered a Mi max real early in the sale and DHL tracking says it's cleared customs.

      I ordered a mi5 a about 12 hours later and stupidly forgot DHL. So I purchased the DHL shipment seperate and have sent them constant messages but have heard SFA. Still sitting at the supplier is processing your order. They are bad at replying to order messages.

  • twister292 on 31/12/2016 - 08:07

    BTW, anyone who are going to unlock bootloader and rood Mi Max, pls let me know for the link to do,
    found many from whirlpool, Miui community, not sure which one is working without brick, thanks,

    • PR0r on 02/01/2017 - 12:00

      You'd be best to request an unlock using Xiaomi's official unlocking tool before trying unofficial methods.

      • tinkko on 02/01/2017 - 12:11

        I did and got permission, but not sure which way is best way to root, cheers

    • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2017 - 12:12
      +1

      I won't be doing anything than keeping official bootloader and software on the unit
      You can't "brick" most devices if you follow the instructions

      Also Whirlpool is full of useless clowns, you are better off using XDA forums for actual "support" and assistance with the device processes

      • tinkko on 02/01/2017 - 12:13

        I need to install foreign font and that's why I have to root, otherwise I won't,

        • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2017 - 12:15

          Ask the XDA forums would be your best bet, pretty sure keyboards and language doesn't need root access but then again I don't really fiddle around with the phone apart from make calls / send messages and facebook

          Good luck though, I believe once you unlock bootloader, any software changes instantly voids any support from the seller / Xiaomi directly

        Yeah and weekends too I believe. Best express service in the world.

        I need to find a custom ROM for the Redmi Note 4 though.. default OS is a nightmare. Cant even choose Australia as your country and restrictions are horrible.

        • Vladdo on 02/01/2017 - 18:17

    The Redmi Note 4 is a steal. Literally shocked at how a phone like this goes for $193. Extremely fluid, vibrant screen, sleek design, great camera for the average user.

    I've been using my Xiaomi Mi5 for about 2 hours now. Super chuffed with the performance and design! The phone is lighting fast and looks very Samsung Galaxy 6-like. I'm impressed by the accuracy of the fingerprint sensor and the audio volume. Going to a party this arvo so going to test out its battery then. Happy that I found this deal :-)

    My only gripe was the sim adapter was a POS and broke before I could get my sim into the phone
    Luckily the tray was out when it decided to do that

    already had an update out of the box, seems okay so far, its a bloody big phone lol

  • mudkipz on 03/01/2017 - 19:30

    Did everyone else's arrive with an older ROM version (V8.0.2.0)?

    If they flashed the phones beforehand, I would've thought they'd just flash to the latest, no?

    • PR0r on 03/01/2017 - 19:43

      Had your package been opened or was it sealed?

      • mudkipz on 03/01/2017 - 19:44

        Opened.

        • PR0r on 03/01/2017 - 20:27

          I'd say they would have mass installed your global version on a bulk order of phones. It only takes a quick click for you to update now as all the hard work has been done getting it there. From memory 8.1 is only weeks old.

    • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2017 - 10:32

      Nope, mine come with 8.1 preloaded already
      Mi-Max 32GB/3GB
      Box wasn't sealed but I don't think they could seal the unit etc

      I know customs checked it though because they put a slit in the DHL packaging and it was pretty obvious

      Happy with it so far, 18 hours with 9hours SOT and still got 43%

      4G speeds on Telstra are around 120mbit in my area down and 50mbit up

      Lol they told me money hasn't been transfered yet said normally takes 7 days wich i highley doubt that long money came out of my account instantly thru a visa transfer.
      What usually happens when the timer goes down do we just usaulley get refunded because my ones got 3 days left some things telling me they didn't have the stock in the first place for the sale

      • mgtra on 06/01/2017 - 11:06

        i ordered a mi max early in the sale and got it already. ordered a mi5 about 10 hours after the mimax and it has not even been sent. makes no sense. Guess they have taken too many orders and are trying to find more stock to fill the orders by the auto cancel dates ?

    The seller gave all excuses and finally when i asked them to refund the money they changed the status to shipped..I ordered the item within first hour of the sale on 27th…From the tracking it still shows as awaiting pickup..Hopefully it doesn't take another 1 month to arrive from China as i used standard shipping.. May be lesson here is not to use standard shipping use only DHL..

    • McLarenHonda on 07/01/2017 - 00:07

      Ditto with me with Mi Max. I bought two within 8 minutes, that's right 8 minutes of the offer going live. One got shipped the next day after the purchase but the other sat as not shipped so getting sick of the wait, I sent a message day before yesterday wanting to cancel but got a "just wait dear" message. They finally sent it out just now. Not happy at all as I won't get it before I probably leave for overseas now.
      I wanted to cancel as I'm going to Singapore anyway and can buy this cheaper there. Now I'm in limbo land.

  • looks on 06/01/2017 - 23:54

    I paid for DHL. Asked seller to ship asap so they issued a DHL tracking number that doesn't work. It's been two days and I know DHL doesn't take forever to update. I doubt they have the item to ship in the first place.

      They don't have stock which is why mine was held up too. Now because asked for a refund, they have marked it as shipped to get me off their back.

  • Vladdo on 07/01/2017 - 15:50
    +1

    Having owned the Mi5 for 4? days now I'm still undecided if I like the phone.

    I hate the form factor. I've made a handful of calls on it and have twice turned off the phone without realising it. The power button is right where my index finger grips on. I'm not keen on physical button, my old phone had soft buttons. That said the 'back' button, you really have to push it for it to work. Also the touchscreen becomes non responsive from time to time. Perhaps it's a MIUI issue, I don't know. Turning the screen on and off fixes it. Whenever I tether or connect the phone to my PC, it constantly disconnects. A quick google shows it's a known bug in MIUI, apparently. Very frustrating.

    There are a few things I do like tho. Speaker volume is loud, so much more than my old Xperia Z2. Camera quality seems pretty good given you use it in good light. MIUI seems pretty light, not that much bloat. Build quality looks good. Doesn't feel cheap or plastic'y.. The rounded back edges feel nice in the hand. The included 'free' case is ok, but the included screen protector seems a little too big which results in the edges peeling. I like the Marshmallow theme, everything seems nicely laid out.

    Have yet to use the fingerprint scanner (I doubt I will, as I don't want that in the cloud somewhere) and have yet to try NFC.. I have a couple of digital cameras that use NFC so am keen to try that out.

    • TheOneWhoKnocks on 28/01/2017 - 19:38

      You actually reckon they store your fingerprint data on a cloud? Not trying to be patronising, actually asking.

      • Vladdo on 28/01/2017 - 21:12

        I don't doubt it for a second. Everything else is cloud sync, why wouldn't my finger print be as well?

      • Jenny Jingle on 28/01/2017 - 22:05

        Good question… Off to do some googling abt it

  • mgtra on 07/01/2017 - 16:55
    +1

    has anyone managed to get them to actually reply to chat ? They just ignore me ?

    With oder messages they take atleast 2 days to respond and its a generic copy and paste line of "we will ship as soon as we can" every time. Im sure they dont read what i have said.

    So i have 3 days left before the order autocancels. Have people see them cancel before, or, do they wait to last minute and then mark as shipped even though it probably hasnt to avoid the cancel?

    • Phreaker on 07/01/2017 - 20:45
      +1

      Mine only shipped this morning.
      I ordered within the first couple of minutes, so it looks like they processed the orders backwards.

    Curious about overseas deliveries when ordering snail mail deliveries. (not speedy DHL ones) Specifically Amazon and these guys Aliexpress. My package has been reportedly in AU since the 7th but now it just sits there, in the sorting room until what? What initiates the next movement to where I am because often its as though it books a hotel room for a few days and then thinks, oh wait, i'm supposed to be in ADL. F#$%.

    Like, what's with the delay?

    • PR0r on 10/01/2017 - 23:07
      +1

      Often once your items makes it to Australia, tracking stops. So it's likely to be delivered anytime given its been days ago. Though I just reread and 7th was only last Saturday. I'd expect it end of this week or early next.

  • 02LyW on 11/01/2017 - 21:44

    my standard shipping arrived yesterday. like yours, it was in Australia on the 7th. and like, PR0r said, there was no further tracking after that. it just arrived. so, I'm assuming you received it today or will receive it very soon.

          I have received mine today too, still charging but I don't understand the 2 adapters that come with it, both have no USB port and not Australian power socket compatible. What about yours?

          Also, I cannot locate Mi Max user manual online, anyone has one to share?

        • simplexity on 12/01/2017 - 18:30

          OK, I found out how to use the adaptor now lol.

          Now I am having problem with the screen protector. Mine does not stick to the screen at all. Am I the only one encountering this problem?

          @yeuwen:
          Mine had the back and front labels incorrectly labeled. Might be that you're trying to stick the outer surface onto the screen

          Thanks, you are right.

    I have recived my Mi5 today. Looks like a great phone. One observation: when setting up, it asks you to chose the langugae and then Locale. Australia is not listed in the locale. I m not sure if this will have any implications on updates etc?

      Reading through Whirlpool threads, people use Singapore without dramas.

      Nothing to worry about. The locale at setup basically changes date format eg. DD/mm/yyyy
      Singapore is a good choice :)
