Redmi 1S - A new update JHCCNBH40.0 Chinese version is out

A new update JHCCNBH40.0 Chinese version is out on OTA today. No change log is released yet. But users have reported that the 'CRT' effect when turning off the screen is gone. RAM management seems to be the same as v37.

Redmi 1S - Calibration of your phone sensors

While I was playing GT Racing 2 on my Redmi 1S, I noticed the car was swerving slowly to the left even when I hold it straight. So I decided to re-calibrate the accelerometer and gyro sensors.

Goto your dialpad and type *#*#6484#*#*

You can also type *#*#64663#*#*  to access Engineering mode.

As you can see the menu is still in Mandrin (Chinese). Scroll down to 29 and 31 to calibrate sensors.

*Update: Good news, Prince.Paul.K on the MIUI forums has done a translation to English on this. You'll need to download the apk prepared by him and push it to the system/apps folder. Follow this link.
