Redmi 1S - JHCMIBH41.1 released on OTA

An update JHCMIBH41.1 for the global version is on OTA today. Some of the apps mentioned in the changelog were Messaging app, File Explorer, E-mail app and Calendar. The update is about 215MB in size and will take awhile for the update to finish compared to previous versions. Indian users who are still on version 36 will get a 500+MB update, and it's perfectly normal.

Users who did not get the notification, can goto Updater App>press Options capacitive button>View available updates>press Update.

If you can't see 'available updates', then you might want to manually update from v36 to v37. Some users have reported that they are not receiving OTA even on non-rooted v37. So in that case, you'll just have to wait. 

Bad News! The previous link I got from the MIUI forums was allegedly a leak by a India Redmi 1S Testing Group member. I will put up the link again, once the Mods give confirmation.

Xiaomi has added a scanner app in this update as well. Another most important feature of this update is the use of zRAM. In short, Zram basically compresses unused apps within the system RAM so it makes more available space.

    1. Your update size 515MB is normal if you're on v36. Don't worry, go ahead and update it.
