you might want to know how RN3 look like oya take it

willian10:

When was it dispatched cos mine has been dispatched since 13th & i no get ham last week

Mine was despatched on the 5th of DEC

Gptech:

Don't know where you got the analogy from, but again your opinion. Redmi note 2 came with miui 6 and Lollipop out of the box, but the best miui for me so far has been miui 8.
Regarding ram management you are correct, but unused ram is wasted ram don't forget that. I know a lot of phones with plenty of free ram, even almost double mine that can't dream of half the multitasking ability mine possess. Yes miui uses lot of ram but the big question is does it affect performance? Watch reviews on you tube and check antutu and see how Xiaomi flagship outsmart many rivals out there performance wise. So in the end one might really be tempted to ask what devices like the One Plus 3 does with their much available ram.

You are right. Unused ram is wasted. But my issue is using my free ram for useless bloatwares ( like Google hangout or Google music). Mind you, there are ten of such Google apps which I don't use and they have serious negative impact on my battery life. Even stock Android allows you to disable of freeze such apps. LOL

kolomax:
it's network I had same problem few weeks ago

Thanks just hope it works

Gptech:

If the info is correct, I may have found a proper replacement for my redmi note 2

Lolz

Dank1u:


Thanks for the reply, still having same issue. Please how you using the rn3 with Glo?
Even after selecting LTE Only , after rebooting it goes back to default.
Anyone using the rn3 pro prime, snapdragon special edition, global with Glo? I bought it because of the band 28

Haaa;
It had better be "network" cos I ordered that phone(still on transit) precisely cos of GLO band 28

I understand you bro, if those 10 apps are such trouble to your battery , disable their background activities. Indeed this is a case of different strokes for different folks. What is bloatware to you might be very important to others, in fact your most important app might be bloatware to me. As far as Xiaomi are concerned right now, what you call bloatwares are important part of miui, just like the stock miui music app, don't expect them to let you uninstall them. If you really are so keen on getting rid of them, you use the backdoor (root). All manufacturers does what Xiaomi does regarding what you call bloatwares. I wonder why mostly it is users of Android phones that complain of bloatwares, Apple users would rather call them features.

It seems you didn't read my initial posts. You cannot disable them. Xiaomi have a default music app, why include Google music app? They also have a stock browser, why add chrome which is much heavier than the stock browser? Who uses Google hangout? It has since been phased out by Google and replaced with Google allo.

Funny enough, all these Google apps are available on playstore , whoever needs them can easily go there and download them.

How these apps enhance the user experience of the miui is what I'm yet to understand.

No wonder the Chinese roms perform better than the global rom in terms of system stability and battery life, because the Chinese rom by default does not come pre-installed with these bloatwares.

Any third-party app that is forced on the end-user is a bloatware.

PS. Motorola phones don't come with bloatwares.

Understand you perfectly, I knew you would refer to moto, we all know that Motorola uses almost stock Android.

Very true..

Ever since i switched to Xiaomi, i have not stopped wondering why tecno and infinix are still in business, cos everything bout their phones is nothing short of been premium..

Even a die-hard Samsung and iPhone device lover held my redmi note 4 pro and was like "Mehn! This your phone make mad sense"

Think it's high time dey move into Africa and establish their offices in key countries..

Is xiaomi note 4 pro different from note 4 prime?

Intellab:

Not actually, the difference is in rom size, one is 32gig while the other is 64gig.

Gptech:
Ok, finally Marshmallow update for redmi note 3 pro, better late than never.

Yea.. The prime comes with the snapdragon 652 chipset assisted with 4gb ram, while the pro comes with the mtk x20 decacore chipset assisted with 3gb ram..

The redmi note 4 prime is the snapdragon version of the redmi note 4. Based on online reports, they are planning to release this particular version for the Indian market only..

Which is plausible, as mtk devices aren't allowed in the Indian market, at least, based on what i have been told...

You could check Google as well..

Didn't even notice the error, true all redmi note 4 no matter the naming run mediatek x20 chipset. Thanks toluwanimi07 for pointing that out.

Yea.. Read that too. Buh other sources choose to differ.. Ask yourself this.. Do you think Xiaomi would be willing to let go of their share of the Indian market, even if it's a tiny bit of it?

They even have a factory there. I'd be surprised if they don't release a snapdragon version because India is their biggest market outside China. But sometimes this xiaomi guys act funny. See them see potential to hammer big time, they'll be dulling.

amadika:
It's been so frustrating trying to fund my alipay pocket. Both GTbank mastercard and Access bank visa card has refused to work.
Pls can somebody put me through on what to activate on my cards for this transaction to go through. I want to buy a item of $290

Finally after so much verification and appeal on my cards, I was able to fund my alipocket balance with $280 for mi5 and other things.
Pls guys is this the best time to place order from aliexpress considering that we are approaching the Xmas season.

I think if you place now you are still safe depending on the seller. Dreami store has so far been effective.
