What i did to unlock bootloader is
•Created an mi account on my phone(in settings), logged into miui forum and created a nickname(username)

•Then i applied for bootloader unlock approval on this site http://en.miui.com/unlock/ using the latest chrome browser for proper Chinese translation to english.. i clicked unlock now to then input the same mi account i created on the phone and also gave the same nickname (note it will open forum, just go back and click unlock now again from the above site you will now see d application form site)

• I then put my name which is thesame as my nickname or username then i gave my reason for unlocking, dont copy someone's reason but you can get point frm there ( my reason was i wana use i wana use apps from my old phone the requires root like titanium backup and i feel stranded cus i need d apps and also i wana try new miui roms as they are released and also people are encouraged to get same device as me cus of d way i use it then i thanked them at d end) i got approved in less than 10mins

•Then i waited for 48hours before attempting lock

And this is the bane of our problem in this country,we are too lazy to read. You'd imagine someone creating a thread on how to check Glo balance when he/she can as well use that same time and data to google it. It's really mind boggling.

I just tried it on an infinix phone I got H+ but the browsing still slow .

Make sure your Xiaomi isn't set to 4G only coz the problem seems to be that Glo has turned off 4G temporarily. Better still use manual network search to find the 4G network if you even see it
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by henry007(m): 5:42pm On Jan 18, 2018
Gptech:
henry007, you have been noticed, still don't know the point you're trying to prove, you sound like someone on a mission lately, what would that be? You said something about the K7 versus Redmi note 4x but didn't say anything about the Redmi note 4x versus the Camon cx,still waiting for you to say something or maybe the k7 is actually better than the Camon cx grin, don't know why this issue is still here today, glad to stretch it further a bit cheesy.

If the K7 camera bested the RN 4X that i never even expected, is there any need to go on arguing about Camon CX camera. I just don't get why y'all are attacking someone for saying the truth. Is it the small market that you're selling that is making you people hate the truth. Pls even if you want to stan for a brand, stan with sense. You are a Nigerian.

noobody:


My point exactly,he is on a mission,his sudden interest lately,very suspicious,does notin but to hate upandan,if we can stop replying the bros,mk he dey rant on ehn own,honestly,he has no other job of recent,as dem nor gree release new phone wey he go review,he is paid to do all this shii,
No one in there normal 100% sense would see all dis facts and still keeo arguing blindly,only those paid to market do this kind of shii.

Well i got a Xiaomi Mi band 2 and that heightened my interest in Xiaomi products. The smart band is amazing!


Protein0:
no, his recent interest is really nice. You know those feelings you have when you are sure of your facts cheesy
I challenge Henry007 to send a new tecno k7 to a mutually agreed techie while I will send a new xiaomi redmi note 4x too, for an head to head comparison. However, if he's unable to take up this challenge, we all know the meaning.
In another news, BRING YOUR XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4X/4 FOR SWAP WITH TECNO K7. Contact on signature kiss

This contest does not make so much sense coz 1.) both phones are in the same price range. and 2.) someone neutral already shared photo evidence of both and 3.) What are we winning from the well ochestrated comparison - Nothing.

If you have money for Xiaomi RN 4, you won't be looking at K7 at all.


Protein0:
Good morning fellas.
It seems I missed the camera talks. There are absolutely more to the camera samples posted by donfamous. Just as if it's not the note 4x I know. I challenge you to provide the k7 to a famous NLer who stays in Lagos and can do a camera comparison with a note 4x I will arrange in Lagos too. A tecno Stan once created a thread on a similar topic in the past and we all know the sequela. Gptech did a camera comparison with a supposed camera-targetted model of the tecno and we all saw.
To sum up, we all know the selling points and Achilles heels of samsung, iPhone, LG, Motorola, and some other smartphone giants. Tecno, let's assume is a smartphone producer too, has what selling points? Don't let's ask for its downs undecided

He's not the first user to tell us that the RN 4X camera is poor. The first guy might have over exagerrated a lil, some were just disappointed and seeking ways to improve it but donfamous didn't even say it was poor he just provided us comparison pictures yet you people are angry, even using style to insult him on top of the phone that he bought with his own money. Is it military regime you people are running on this thread?

Ochima75:


I no even dey commot my note4x 4 public pics ooh coz na dsgrace i no dey ff any1 drag note 4x on camera basic bt build processor nd oda stuffs i fit drag


But all in all no fone without flaws
freebuddy:
Good day all,

Any tips to improve redmi phones camera performance in low light conditions? Will appreciate it big time.

The photos don't come out well at all in low light conditions. Also very disappointing wherever there is shadow or if the person or object you're taking is backing the sun or a light source.

Thanks.

The way some people compare camera pix quality is so so so wrong,once dem snap pix,dem see say dem saturate one pass one,its automatically the best,not considering some major yardsticks,

@gptech has thrashed dis issue way way back,not anyones fault dey dont know how to use there camera thou.

Sadly,they all shout the camera is bad,but still would not dump the xiaomi in favour of a better camera phone,

Confused souls

The most objective way to compare cameras is to use default settings on both and snap the same still object within seconds of each other. Anyone that says otherwise is not an objective person because default settings is how majority of users would use the camera.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 better than Uhans i8: CPU, Operating System

My humble opinion on this Xiaomi Redmi Note 4's camera matter is that the sensor is very okay but Xiaomi's algorithm is very very shitty evident from samples gotten with the use of the GCam mod.
I initially made up my mind not to root but as it stands me I can't miss the awesomeness of the GCam mod.
For me the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4's camera as it is on my phone is not okay and I am not necessarily comparing with other phones.

Nobody should be attacked based on their opinion on what they bought with their hard earned money and if you must kindly do constructively.

And we must also put in mind this is a public forum, it is nobody's own except 'Seun' who created it grin

Conclusion; if you ain't okay with the camera output, find a way to tweak the phone by following instructions succinctly to avoid stories that touch.

#My2kobo opinion.

I actually know nothing about Gcam and people have been talking about it but pls can you take a picture before the Gcam and after the Gcam setup so we can compare. Thanks

Seriously u dnt have to be rude with all your reply, if people wan buy xiaomi dem go buy weda dem talk bad about am or not, u are starting to sound like a fanboy or a bias seller which i dnt think you are... Redmi note 4/4x camera can be better thats it, i love d phone just d camera is d let down and dis midrange una de talk, gionee a1 lite has a great camera but its 65k, giving a phone snap 625 is not enough but we know they cant put everything inside cus of future market, but dat one no mean say person no go talk abi no be xiaomi thread be this? D guys on xda dnt react to complain and comparisons like this they even concure and den look for d way foward.

True look at Apple fanboys regretting all the nonsense stanning. Apple is now doing the most. Objective feedback is how they bring better devices. The first TECNO device i owned, the phantom A has a shit camera and now we're comparing their low end K7's camera with that of a midrange RN 4X. They got there through feedback and they still have along way to go tbh. Honestly, this is why i review phones, they need to know when the improvement is worth buying on not, i even said it in my Infinix Note 4 video that there's no upgrade from Note 3 so no need to buy. Honesty is the best policy.
