Please what can I do to stop this battery drainage? D stuff is fucking annoying.. Should I port to developer rom or its general on miui8?... I use rn3 mtk


Maybe I'll go back to miui7

I use a redmi 3s prime. I got it from kulimart about 3weeks ago. Its a good phone. I've had no issues so far.

How much do you buy it?

Gptech:

Hahaha, am typing now with the redmi note 2,same socs as yours, though I suspect you use the 32gig version. I never complained of lag, yes my phone is really fast( that's the major reason I bought it though), and I know xiaomi is good in optimization compared to many brands. Am actually surprised that you don't experience battery drain because others using the Helio x10 complain of experience such, and the heating part especially. Right now my phone is at 37 degrees, the lowest, I have seen is 32 degrees and it can easily get over 40. The only rom I haven't tried is Chinese roms but 1 thing is certain, the battery and heating issues have never been good at any time no matter the rom I used, even tried the 'Bule' custom rom that was supposed to be good with battery.


Before I forget the temperature is acting normal now because I just updated some hours back, I know what to expect from tomorrow

I actually use a 32gig version of the note 3. Do you clear cache after updating? I just realised that helps the phone in maintaining its stability.

Please assist vosquare since you both use a similar device

GrandMufti:


No disrespect Bro, but incurring a loss of about 60k in these hard times does not speak well. Before you buy a phone, try to read the pros n cons. Weigh your options properly. 60k loss no be beans. Even if it's chicken change to you.

My 2 cents

Appreciate..... Altho it's obvious u mean well.... D fone has its great parts..... I don't regret buying it.....didnt buy it for 114k tho.... Lolz..... Just 2 let u know.... Will sell it 4 100k @ least if I did..... Thanks tho

No, I don't, might try that out though I don't think its necessary for weekly updates via OTA

Its obvious your issue has to do with the bugs, in terms of battery performance for my device it's dsame with miui 8 as it was with miui 7.

Seconded, Pls this guy needs your quick response.

2kurupt:

I smile whenever I see comments such as these. I bet most of you guys having supposed "reservations" are yet to handle the said MTK phones made by Xiaomi. What I do know is Xiaomi devices are well optimized irrespective of SOC.
Well my note 3 MTK that's running Chinese Dev rom has hardly got heating, fingerprint, lagging or battery drain issues for the past couple of months, and yes it can handle anything thrown at it

Please proove to the house that you are right by showing VOSQUARE how to go about battery drain since both of you have similar phone.

Hello house...

Planning on getting the Xiaomi rednote 4 3gb ram 64gb device (MTK version) soon...

Can someone please help me out with a review of this particular version?

There is no version, the redmi note 4 has only mtk socs.

Yeah I use the MTK version of the note 3. Sorry for the late response.

Here's the official China Dev rom am currently using=>
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.9.29/miui_HMNote3_6.9.29_1dbf35c044_5.0.zip


Here is the latest version=>
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.10.27/miui_HMNote3_6.10.27_ec55d1a232_5.0.zip

Follow this link to flash it via updater app(this only works if you're already on an official rom)=>
http://en.miui.com/a-232.html

This rom comes with zero bloatware or unnecessary tweaks thus no pressure on your battery & background activity from my observation.


Alternatively you can flash via SP Tool
Hope you've a PC? Don't forget to copy your entire media files unto your system because SP Flash tool will wipe your phone clean. Since you're having a buggy performance personally I'll prefer this method though it is more rigorous=>
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=294318&highlight=Flash%2BChina%2BDev%2Brom

Least I forget if you used SP Tool flashing method then you'll have to install gapps for Google services & play store yourself. Install those via this link then update them to the latest version when done=>

After running all these I hope you get a better optimized device like mine. Cheers

There's nothing to prove man, he obviously has a buggy rom installed. That's why I chose to stick with an official rom that gets steady updates & bug fixes via OTA.

With the rate at which these miui geeks are all churning out their own roms one can easily get confused


PS: I observe that the weekly updates perform differently too. So when I see one that's very stable with good battery backup I don't rush to update.

For now the device is for only for the Chinese market. So there is no 'version' per se. I will advice you to save your money and watch the direction miui is heading to. No point in buying a great device with a mediocre OS. But if you are keen on the device, then go for it.

Bro I just got the 3gb ram 64gb version and it is awesome. Am still setting up and trying to unlock the bootloader. It came with global rom. No issues at all. Go for it by all means

Why unlocking bootloader...
With locked bootloader Xiaomi security is unbreakable

Interesting.

But is it possible to port from Stable ROM to Global ROM without unlocking bootloader?

Does the 2GB RAM version of RN3 use the same ROM with the Pro version?

Is there any difference, am not talking about specs

Did u reset your phone after flashing?
How did u root yours?
How did u unlock your bootloader?

Thanks tho.. I'll download the rom

Every Xiaomi MIUI ROM flashing is possible without unlocking bootloader.

unlocking boot loader is only required when you want to move to from MIUI to other third party ROM.

BUT for me know other ROM I love like MIUI, though I love Lewa OS, FLYM OS and Huawei EMUI.

but MIUI the best.

Yeah want to go to rom from xiaomi.eu. Those guys have the best roms. No bloatware and its multi language.

Same rom

No rooting or bootloader unlocking required to start the procedure. Do read thru the instructions in the links properly in order to avoid mistakes.

As a matter of fact I can't remember the last time I rooted my phone, with miui I don't really see the need to especially since you'll lose root whenever you update.

What exactly makes the SOC mediocre? Am sure you dunno why American kids online keep saying snapdragon is more superior to Mediatek even when they've not used the two just coz it's a Taiwanese company.

FYI Americans the world over promote their products no matter how inferior they're to that of other countries's products because of patriotism. It's purely an American agenda in it's bid for world domination

What device are you using let's see how un"mediocre" it performs against mine?

I'm talking about mediocre 'OS' i.e Miui and not chipset. You just carry this mtk vs sd thing for head.
