I wish to buy Redmi note 4 but it doesn't not support GLO 4g only note 3 SE does and I don't want it. I keep having this feeling that GLO made a mistake by selecting band 28(700)

na you say you want Glo. Na you still dey doubt them grin . If you don't like the Kate design and you want to use Glo, go for mi note 2. Otherwise you can choose any other phone.

Your first question is not clear, please explain more. As for App lock, its just for security purposes, in case you give your phone out to people alot to operate and you don't want them to have access to certain apps, like your messages, App lock comes handy.
Thanks for the explanation on the 2 questions. Toluwani07, thanks for the clarification too, right on point.

You are not in fastboot mode oga.


i presume you have installed the necessary drivers?


UNTICK PRELOADER and

TICK ALL THE OTHER PARTITIONS

click on download button

then hold VOLUME DOWN button on phone, then plug in the USB cable

when flashing starts let the VOL down button go and wait till it complete



NB:
You should see a notification for MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM XX) if you have drivers installed and done the procedure correctly.

you can also check under device manager if your computer is detecting the phone in download mode

and the lower left hand portion of the SPFlashTool should show info about the board of the phone, like this

ehen abeg, those who have used free shipping on Aliexpress before, please can you interpret this for me?

the chinese means: [Shenzhen] [Shenzhen International bulk mail processing center] has been sealed (by the domestic transfer)

its some little items, but its been like this since 7 days ago....

i think you use china small packet carrier that can not be tracked after leaving china. Just pray you get the call from the post office when it arrives because you wont be able to track when it gets here.

yeah.

i see.

it was some small $2, $3 items usb cables and cases. i had some loose Alipocket change so i decided to buy those. paying for shipping would be more than the cost of item.

i guess i'll check next week when my big items arrive

you can use MTN or Etisalat, their 4G are very fast plus cheap data bundles.
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by bily(m): 1:37pm On Feb 14, 2017
GrandMufti:


Whenever you reboot or switch on / off airplane mode or switch Internet sim, the phone automatically reverts back to the default 2g/3g/lte setting, of which these networks with the strongest reception is given a higher priority.

If you were referring to the non-internet sim that's automatically set to 3G, that is a bug. But unfortunately it was not corrected in the latest update.

Actually it's not a bug. Some countries are now doing away with 2g network signal. So they have only 3g upwards. If they Made the 2nd SIM to default to 2g, those countries will not be able to use the second SIM. That's the reason for the change.

It is a bug. The only time xiaomi can restrict access to a particular network band is when it has license issues just like the case of 4G in Indonesia. There, no option of 'LTE only.

I believe all the mobile phone manufacturers are out to maximize their profit. So they'll continue to produce phones that cuts across the globe irrespective of any network restrictions.

This is not a restriction, it just defaults to 3g which in a lot of countries is more prevalent than 2g. you can always set to 2g.

The same way most new radios now default to fm frequency unlike before that they default to am radio. It's just the times.

Maybe in future, they may completely phase out 2g network, who knows.

Can't remember the thread on miui forum, but I read it that it was intentional and not a bug

If it's the same card try this first. Attempt to load in smaller denominations: 20USD × 4 + 10USD.

If this doesn't work you will have to appeal again. Sorry bro.

After appealing try to connect with a customer care agent so it can be fast tracked.

New AliExpress accounts can fit annoy person sometimes.
