Who was it that said ntel works with his redmi note 3?

Well I've made a screencast of my experience here

I've concluded that maybe the sim they sold me has issues, because this is the exact thing I had with my zenfone 2 Laser

That NTel seems to work well on phone with both band 3 and 8... My phone has only 3, it fluctuates 4G...

The sim has no issues. I had an RN3 SE myself, and i experienced same on miui, whether on dev rom or global stable. Trust me, i did everything possible to get it to work, but to no avail. But it worked perfectly without hassles on LineageOS, AOSP and CAF based custom roms. I'll be getting a new RN3 SE by Friday. Will make similar video to show that it works on custom roms.

ntel works well with devices with either band 3 or 8, or both. The only difference you would easily notice is that devices with band 8, naturally, get better reception, since it runs on lower frequency, which means better in-building penetration and longer range.

This is why I look out for lte bands when buying a phone. But even with just one band, it's supposed to work fine. Those miui guys Sabi tamper stuffs

Seems that mtn modem is the best around. With great battery life too. How much does it go for? Did you have to hack it to work with ntel

I bought from reseller 8k unlocked, that time it was going for 5k without data...
But now it s 20k, plus 10GB data double data offer makes it 20GB

Had a bit of downtime around apapa yesterday but it was only for about 30mins. Service has been restored, as I was able to stream movies on kodi on my TV box, and it's been okay of late; limited buffering.

I see.

Thanks.


Meanwhile does anyone have any idea how to fix a Mifi that won't connect to 4G anymore?

It's a E5372s. It works fine with MTN 3G but won't lock signal on 4G.

Yes, it supports mtn 4G I've been using it for months.

Yes there's 4G in my location. If I put the sim card in my phone it works with 4G fine

Only started this style 2 days ago.

Any ideas? E don reach EOL?

Download the Huawei mobile app and set network to 4G only.

If it doesn't work reset the mifi.

It's been a very hectic day for me. I moved to a new place, hence why I've been offline since morning.

Anyway, normally you would need to unlock your bootloader and root before you can install custom roms, but there is a way of avoiding unlocking bootloader and still be able to flash any custom rom meant for Kenzo. Just follow the instructions on the following link and you will be able to run any custom rom or kernel meant for Kenzo on your Kate.

Wow! Thanks man! It seems miui still has a long way to go!
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by 4llerbuntu(m): 4:28am On Mar 22, 2017
It's not MIUI.
It's ntel and their funny network configuration that isn't compatible with majority of devices.
