The update you downloaded is it the stock ROM or the multi language ROM from XIAOMI. EU?

I was initially on the stock ROM, released by MIUI.com n their forum and the battery was wacky and to many Chinese, as soon as aieromon posted the link for the multi language ROM, I changed mine ( thanks to glo, I d able to do it in 2 hours!)

After downloading the multi language ROM, the battery improved greatly

Secondly it is common knowledge that some people don't want to hear the word 'flash'

Well, FYI, I did didn't flash or root my phone to download the multi language ROM

I just used the updater app on the phone, by tapping the the dots above it (...), and choose the file I've already renamed as directed

For people who are sceptic, this phone is very great, especially it's speed

The in built browser ( baidu) is way faster than Uc Browser and opera combined. ( I have both browsers, but I don't use them now)

The picture quality is way better than its specs (better than Meizu's M2 note, which have same spec with it)

Is it the themes or the baidu music player, where you can easily stream and download western songs without going through the browser? By now I think I've listen to almost all the songs one direction would have sang as I continuously stream their songs,
The beauty of it is that you can see the lyrics and sing along with them. Who can beat that on a stock/in built music player?

I've been as astute Meizu fan apart from a few features ,(that are negligible) Redmi is great

I would recommend it for any one

Fyi, Google ' compare Redmi note 2 and Samsung Galaxy s5' and you would never advise any one to buy s5 again!

I don't have any issues flashing roms (Tested xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_5.9.18_v7-5.0.zip) and I can say have flashed more roms than any average android user(Wasted about 4gb paid data already testing diff builds since i got on Xiaomi). Devices have used in the past one year and flashed with numerous roms ( Oneplus, s6, note 4 & Ascend mate 7).

I guess its because I have always used high-end phones and I had too much hopes on this cheap device. The battery barely last 7hrs in a day with all background sync disabled apart from google contacts and I never install or play games on my phone.

I do the same stuffs on my Lumia 640 xl (3000mah) and it takes me almost 24hrs. The 3,000mah on this device is equivalent to the 2,600mah on the samsung s6.

I can agree with you on
the camera,
super fast charging
Average screen quality compared to some other 1080p phones
Very fast and responsive generally
Headphones output is quite good
Speaker is very poor, especially the loudspeaker during calls

At this point it is good to wait for the next release on friday, I am already experimenting with my Lumia (wp 10 developer preview) can't be doing the same on android too grin

i just got my xiaomi redmi note 2 from inizialise.
it is a very good phone
But the only problem i encounter is that there is no use ONLY 3g under preferred network type like the phone i was using before.
XIAOMI has prefer 3G.
This makes the phone display EDGE when I'm browsing.
Any solution to this?

Your location doesn't have 3G network. It's from your area.
There's a way to do this. If you're using miui 7 global developers rom, download mtk engineering.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter the testing menu. Click on Phone Information and scroll down to the network option. Select what you want and exit. Note that it will revert back to status quo whenever you reboot the phone.

There is 3G network in your location but the signal appears to be very poor. You might experience high battery consumption if you force your device to lock down the 3G reception.

I've used their services like 8 times had to pay duty once, chance of paying is like 10% due to random sampling by customs,you choose the Courier Services you prefer among UPS,DHL and FedEx and also whether express or economy shipping,all are shipped by air..
