    Xiaomi Explains Built-in Upload Feature

    During the public announcement for Xiaomi new smartphone Xiaomi 4, the company addressed and responded to the recent discussions of the Redmi Note's automatic upload function, which connects to a Chinese server.

    The company cited its users' agreement policy, stated that no invasion of privacy has ever occurred in their service and said that the alleged user information infringement is false and untrue.

    Xiaomi did not, however, dismiss the automatic connection and upload feature and said that Redmi Note does not upload personal information from its users but only calculations of the user's personal preferences so that the company can send appropriate upgrade and app recommendations to their users so as to improve customer service.

    The company also said that all phones come with automatic back-up and cloud features disabled, and they will only perform the functions with users' consent. Backed-up information will also not be used by the company or against the user, the company said.

    In hopes of further guaranteeing the company's product safety, Xiaomi said that all of their services are in compliance with the privacy laws of the countries in which their products are sold. Complex encryptions and algorithms, the company said, also protect the products themselves.
  • huawei meron rin ganyan...
  • Ang hirap bumili ng ganitong phone lalo kung ginagamit mo yung telepono sa mga bank transactions. Kaya yung mga cheap phones na tunog chinese wala talaga ko tiwala. Paranoid na kung paranoid pero di talaga ko bibili ng mga yan.

    bumili ng ganyan klaseng phone.
    Baka sa susunod yun cp na
    ganyan pa magpahamak sa inyo.
  • Pabili na ko ng ganitong phone. Really tempting tlaga due to its cheap price with high specs

    nakakatawa naman ito. makapagtaray lang. gamit tayo ng utak pag may time.
  • It is clear that the source of the whole thing is questionable at best � just one guy, a forum member, who merely posted a few screenshots without proper details or independent confirmation and from there on the story was picked up and blown out of proportion. One thing is clear, we shouldn�t be as quick to draw conclusions about Xiaomi here.
    We also shouldn�t be too quick to put our tinfoil hats on. Maybe the Chinese government is doing all it can do get its hands on as much personal data as it can. But so is the US government, using American manufacturers, who would readily submit your personal data to the authorities if a court orders it (or just because the NSA thought that is appropriate). Unfortunately, it�s just the world we live in.

    its hard to ignore the spying issue here.
    first, its xiaomi who is denying the spying activity. maybe, maybe not. lest we forget that xiaomi is govt subsidized company.
    second, why would the ip addressed to chinese govt ministry of information?
    third, maybe its a hoax and only one forumer posted the screenshot but then why no one examined if the screenshot was photoshopped?
    whether true of not, i'd still prefer nsa than the chinese if only to choose between the two.

    beside, gsmarena did not refute if china is spying. they are just playing it safe by not confirmig the spying issue and the forumer

    eto din nakaka tawa, may ma e post lang ^_^
  • ^sa kabilang banda e tama naman sya. Para sa akin hindi naman nakakatawa
  • Hahaha wala ako panahon mag explain sa inyo :)

    Mods paki lock nlang thread thanks
  • Lahat naman sila nag spy. Yung china nga maraming apple products yung ibina-ban nila. Pati windows 8 pataas banned na rin sa China.
  • third, maybe its a hoax and only one forumer posted the screenshot but then why no one examined if the screenshot was photoshopped?


    ^ di na luma yang china made cellphone. may ganyan din umorder ang germany na china made (di mi). may hidden software na malalim pero nung nag trace sila sino manufacturer di na nila na trace.

    alam nman natin idedeny yan at kung ganong pagsisinungaling ginagawa ng bansang intsik maski sa disputed island.

    kaya natatawa na lang ako sa bumibili nang china made na yan. good luck sa inyo.
  • And bakit nga naman tayo magtitiwala sa isang bansa na patuloy ang pang bu-bully sa atin at pilit inaagaw ang ating mga teritoryo? It's better to buy Samsung/LG/Sony. Huwag na lang yung mga gawang China. Pinalalago lang natin ang ekonomiya nila tapos pambibili lang o i-panggagawa lang nila ng mga eropano o barkong pangdigma na gagamitin sa atin at sa iba pang mga maliliit na bansa. They are not worth our time and resources. Sorry na lang sa mga importers ng Chinese brands and products na ito. Isa pa, most of the products na gawang China na mga nabibili sa Divisoria ang madalas pagmulan ng mga sari-saring trahedya dito sa atin. Kung hindi may nakakalasong kemikal, madaling mag-init at mag malfunction ang mga electronic products nila na nagiging sanhi tuloy ng sunog. Kaya tama rin ang isang group sa FB na i-boycott ang mga chinese products not only because of these inferior products but also becuase of their continued oppression and disrespect to our sovereignty in the West Philippine sea
  • AFAIK lahat ng CP ngayon na android ay nagpapadala ng info sa kung saan saang server... makikita nyo yan sa pag install nyo ng apps...
  • ^
    Oo naman lahat kahit ios ganun din, pero kasi nga iba yung sa xiaomi .:))
    Basa basa pag my time
  • "F-Secure found that the entry-level Xiaomi Redmi 1S sent to the Beijing located server, information such as the name of the carrier, phone number, IMEI number (unique for each phone), phone numbers from the contacts list, and texts.

    IIRC, xioami sends data even if the micloud is off. and the place of server where data is sent, china's ministry of information.
  • ^There you go... Hindi talaga puwedeng pagtiwalaan.
  • mas mabuti na yung second hand na brandedd kesa sa ganyang china brand...

    GO for Nokia 3310 :D
  • Xiami apologuzes. Its fukc ing true

    would you disclosed your bank transactions sa fb, google or twitter?

    sa west they spy to see kung may masama kang intention, i.e., terroristic acts. you can never trust the Chinese. they spy, they hack for their country's gain.
