Hello Guys, please how much can I get Redmi 3, Redmi 3 Pro or Redmi Note 3. Mainly I need a phone with a gyroscope, good battery (at least 4000mAh) and good RAM (at least 3GB).

I practically fell in love with Xiaomi Redmi while reading people's reviews online but my only fear is that users say the Redmi 3 videos shake when when watching 360° videos.
I need advise on this please.

Thanks.

Which rom did you download? Ensure its the right rom.

Please read the comments in the link to get an idea of possible errors that might occur and how to mitigate it.

You have to use 'flash_all' option in mi flash tool. And sure you remove your sim card n sd card before flashing.

After flashing, do a factory reset before you start using the phone.

But remember ** at your own risk** wink

Grandmufti... I have been able to update the fone but it now has plenty issues. It cannot see my sim cards anymore. I cant view my contacts, gallery and phone dialer and lastly the phone has no imei again! Dont know what to do anymore as the phone is now useless.

Maybe not in the global rom for now, but I can do that on developer rom, in fact just tapping the number brings out the options to call, text, or copy.

Is that not how all versions of the phone are supposed to be? Even the low-end versions of Samsung have this feature.

I am also not enjoying Microsoft Outlook on it. Configured my office mail on it but the best I can get is receive mails on it.

Mails sent from the phone doesn't get delivered embarassed

Its early day if you as me, what stage is your goods at, processing?.. I ordered a Redmi 4a from geek buying because it was cheap and on promo, and mynorder is still been processed according to there website..

This is my first time of using them, but i have used other Chinese sites in the past..From my experience with them, you just have to be patient, it might take up to a whole month to get your goods; unless you paid for expedited shipping..

Yeah, patience is the game for free shipping. Your money nor fit lost sha, no need for panic. Time might be the only thing to lose in worse case scenarios.

If you mean 'global developer rom', no. The only issue is developer roms are like experimental roms. It means they come with more features and also may contain bugs. But since the updates come weekly, the bugs may be of no problem to you.
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Youngpo413: 6:59am On Nov 22, 2016
Seems this xiaomi is not a good phone, so many complaints on Chinese rom, stable rom, international rom, developer rom, bla bla bla, it has no stock rom on its own which someone can use in peace?

I paid for DHL shipping and It wud be shipped to my brother in scotland. When he is comin bk to naija in January, he is to bring it. So the time is limited. The strange tin is dey replied the mail I sent them and quoted the item I purchased but it's now on *pre-sale*. When I ordered it, it wasn't on presale. So I'm thinkin when dey advertised it on the site, they didn't have it in stock. Also, going by the reviews I read about geekbuying lately online, they r kinda shady and the reviews r negative. Now I'm wishing I bought from aliexpress

Why u dey fear.. Didn't u know that GeekBuying takes 4-7 days to ship out phones.. Your phone would be shipped out, just be patient, but the question is I hope the phone you bought is not Pre-Sale. Because Redmi 4 is not on sale until DEC 17th or so..
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by temitimx19(m): 11:50am On Nov 22, 2016

These Chinese resellers can be very shady in there dealings, my take is, they dont have stock. That's why mine is still at the "processing" stage. I didn't pay for shipping since am not in any rush, though if am in your shoes I won't be happy having used dhl..

Baws, when I was purchasing it, it was NOT on pre-sale o! Walahi. Na wen the tin delay dem come add pre-sale. And it's not the redmi 4 I ordered. I ordered the redmi 4 pro... I think ders a difference ryt? But if it's gonna go on sale by Dec 17th, I don enter one chance be dat cos I can't wait dat long
