Redmi 1S - JHCMIBH43.0 update released

Xiaomi released another update for the Redmi 1S version JHCMIBH43.0 today. The difference between JHCMIBH43.0 and the previous JHCMIBH41.1 in the changelog is the addition of unified Mi Cloud settings page in Mi Account. The rest of the changelog are identical.

JHCMIBH43.0 uses zRAM to improve it's RAM management as well. It will use more CPU power for the compression process, so we will see if would affect battery power. Will post up screenshots later.

My own experience

Overall battery consumption has definitely increased on this version because of the zRAM implementation. Multi-tasking is not a problem anymore. And the phone seems to heat up less and noticeable when playing games. Apps and UI is not as snappy compared to version 37.

Redmi 1S - JHCCNBH41.1 released on OTA and ROM available for download

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.
