My Bro, u didn't escape anything and paying #500 is by no means standard. it's voluntarily.
Don't allow anyone deceive u or trample on ur right.
Do you mean that apart from the custom charges(which may be bogus), the normal handling charge they have been collecting at the counter is bogus too?!

Funny situation, I bought an item on AE, let's say item A, it was on small packets, it didn't come within d stipulated time, buyer protection was even running out. I decided to be patient especially as the seller was cooperative.

Two days to d end of my buyer protection, I opened dispute for refund after informing the seller.

AE agreed and I got my refund yesterday.

Today, I went to collect another item(item B) at my PO only to see item A as well. Is there any way I can return the money to d seller?
contact the seller again and inform him about this. He will let you pay again without fulfilling your order. He/she might even give you a discount when paying again.

Within 60-100 days or sometimes never.

15 to 60 days but it's very risky and not advisable to use free shipping method. A Lil 1k won't tear ur pocket to use registered air mail or Aliexpress standard shipping. I prefer the former though.

Then change to Nigeria and try again, if it d work, you'll need to download an older version of developer rom on same miui version of your current rom. Forgot about this totally, that's why the rom you downloaded didn't work for you.

My Review on Stock Android

And What i missed about MIUI

And my verdict

Stock Android is not a match to MIUI, if you've truly used both we can agree that Stock Android is simply BASIC why MIUI add alot of ADD-ON'S if you're on MIUI you're missing nothing from not using Stock Android, rather you have majority, if not all, of the features of Stock, in addition to the extra features MIUI comes with.

To fully enjoy MIUI and use it to his full capacity you actually need to be Tech savy.

I've come to love Stock Android bcus of been just Basic I'm actually not that type who tweak and tweak, for me Stock is very much ok, but I'm surely missing some good features on MIUI.

One of the biggest app I've missed and will do anything to have on this Stock is the MIUI GALLERY APP Google photos is totally crap, I'm getting used to the Google File APP, But i will take MIUI FILE APP over this any day and anytime.

They is no basis to compare MIUI and Stock, there are on a different class entirely.

The irony is dat, I've actually choose Stock over MIUI not because it is better but because i can go through all the settings and feature in less than a minute, been BASIC does it for me.

So my preference for a device is now as follows

1- STOCK ANDROID OS

2- GLASS BODY DEVICE

3- USB TYPE C PORT

That means i need to start looking at the MI A series, i hope Xiaomi give us one with a Glass body just like what they have done for the Note series.

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by bwehdoneit(m): 12:57pm On Jan 31, 2019
So far, so good. The Redmi note 7 is ticking all the boxes for me,
Battery- 9/10
Display- 9/10
Design- 8/10
OS - Android 9 is keeping up, and MIUI.... Let me leave that one you all know the rest..muah..!
By the way this is a layman's review, don't come and be asking me complicated questions. Infact, no questions sef because it better experience than imagined... You get the drift.
Just did a security and bug fix update.

That will require more storage space for both OS, also meaning less storage space. It might also complicate android memory orientation.

I'm imagining something like after choosing your preferred UI , it downloads that one , then maybe if you are to do a factory reset there's an option to wipe the current UI. This way there's only one UI at any given time

It all depends on the item you know...
There're items of 10k and above that can come with free shipping. It'll be somehow telling a buyer to opt for the option where they have to pay a shipping fee.
Sometimes the only option to pay for shipping might be DHL and FedEx.

Use this old version of developer rom first, then you can use the one you already downloaded. http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.3.8/miui_HMNote5AGlobal_8.3.8_b396fc2955_7.1.zip
