Does anybody have the Xiaomi 2c 20000mAh and can recommend it? My Aukey power bank is swollen and I'm looking for a new powerbank.

2kurupt:
Why exactly was it opened?

Out of the blue the phone refused to charge.

macbeyland:
What fault did it have?

It just stopped charging.

I haven't had a phone go under the knife in less than one year of usage but it took my Redmi Note 5 about 6 months of usage to do so. I can't tell you how sad I feel seeing the dents and scratches the repairer left on the phone.

I charged my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 last night but just tried to charge it now and it's no longer charging even my laptop is not seeing the phone. I've swapped charger, usb even tested on another phone and they are all working. Hard to believe it's spoilt after just few months of using it.

I'm looking for the best laptop I can get for <$300. My primary consideration is portability and battery life.

Noobody has delivered once more. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 delivered to Nsukka. Thanks once again.

Your Excellency, as you know, the world didn’t start from order; it started from anarchy. The default state of human community is anarchic — survival of the fittest. It was a predatory world with fellow humans as the prey. Therefore, as a prerequisite for modern human organisations, some countries of the world have gradually built up order. Others, especially weak democracies, are struggling to do so. Nigeria falls in this category of struggling nations. If so, Nigeria must do everything possible to strengthen her democratic institutions, including the Nigeria Police Force, for a world of anarchy is an awful place to be.

The Nigerian police is arguably the most talked about public establishment in the country. What dominates the discussion of most Nigerians on the police is not an outstanding corporate image. What manner of image does the Nigerian Police parade? Any Nigerian who is unaware that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is apostatized cannot be exonerated from three facts: being deceitful, simply lying and/or what I can’t describe.

Aggravated by insurgency and terrorism, insecurity has dealt convincingly with the NPF. In recent times, the police has suffered losses in personnel, ammunition and properties. I am unaware of any database chronicling these losses in a comprehensive manner. However, here is a randomized data set from the mainstream media to paint a picture for you, Mr. President.

On April 30, 2016; no fewer than 359 policemen were killed on duty between January 2014 and April 2016, the then IGP, Mr Solomon Arase revealed. Arase made this known at a lecture he delivered at the University of Jos, entitled: “Police and Public Partnership in Prevention and Control of Violent Crimes and Conflicts in Nigeria”. He continued, 272 policemen sustained various degrees of injuries within the same period, while intervening in civil conflicts.

On November 24, 2016; the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, described as worrisome, the rate at which officers and men lose their lives in the course of discharging their statutory duties. He stated that in the past three months (September to November), the Force had lost 128 personnel in various parts of the country due to activities of those he labeled undesirable elements.

On June 22, 2018; it was reported that Shi’ite protesters stoned a policeman to death in Kaduna. Recently, on April 06, 2018; a gang of robbers invaded police and bank headquarters in Offa, killing 15 people including nine police officers in Offa, Kwara State.

Your Excellency, that the personnel of the Nigerian police have been murdered or killed in their numbers should not be surprising to close observers. They die almost every day. The heavy casualty usually sustained by the police, does not elicit public outcry because of their unsavory reputation for brutality and human rights violations. The police should protect lives (including their own lives) and properties. Anything to the contrary brings the organisation to disrepute and causes them to be derided. The consistent failure of the NPF to proactively respond to aggression and win public trust in return has contemptuously made its members, especially the dreadful #SARS, to be ridiculed.

Sir, your disposition to appease Nigerians by ordering that the deadly police unit, SARS, be rebranded to Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) is hasty and never persuasive (at least, that is the current perception). The image of the police is terrible; changing their uniforms and nomenclature is convincingly a cosmetic intervention. Security is hindered, not enhanced, in an atmosphere where the police has lost her corporate image — it suggests a systemic decay.

Sir, I expected a re-appraisal of police training and education programmes. A 21st century policing is all about intelligence, thinking and problem-solving. I expected a decentralization that would give way to a multi-level policing that would comprise federal police, state police, local police, and Vigilante. Decentralizing the police would see Nigerians and communities taking ownership of police structures and that would encourage productivity in return. Where a multi-level policing exists, community safety would be habitually guaranteed.

I expected an executive order that would address the welfare and emolument of the personnel. The police should be properly paid for them to maintain the correct appearance at all times and gain public respect as acknowledged by best global practices. Importantly, I expected an executive order that would immediately; declare a state of emergency in the Nigeria police Force. The government should begin enlistment of able-bodied, educated and emotionally intelligent Nigerians into the police. Can’t we see the inherent danger without doing so?

In part, the apparent failures of the police agency have led to a citizens-led movement to see that the Nigerian police is reorganized and reformed. National discussion on the movement to reform the police can be tracked or monitored using: #ReformPoliceNg and #EndSARS, as led by a tireless Nigerian and Lead Campaigner, Segun Awosanya. The indiscriminate assault; human rights violation and varying degrees of brutality by Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) can deteriorate to widespread civil disobedience and lawlessness, if allowed to fester. Can’t the authorities recognize the emergency status of this situation and treat same as such? A comprehensive review of the police is a task that must be done if the imminent condition of anarchy must be halted and reversed.


Your Excellency, I was trained first and foremost as an Agricultural Extensionist. It is my desire for rural development, social justice and social change that drove me into activism and #EndSARS movement, just like many other Nigerians. What I have done is pleading together that I may be justified. Changing SARS to FSARS is unsatisfactory, snobbish, offensive and condescending. I call for a comprehensive reformation of the Nigerian police with SARS/FSARS disbanded.

Your Excellency, thank you so much for reading this passionate letter. If this doesn’t get to you directly, I appeal to your uncountable aides to brief you as appropriate. A new Nigeria is possible. The message is clear: #EndSARS and #ReformPoliceNg,

Please remove Asus ZenFone 2 from the list because I'm using it and it doesn't support Glo band 28.

4llerbuntu:
APN: Ntel
Everything else blank.
If it asks for MCC and MNC (some phones ask) it's 621
40
respectively.

Thank you.

Can someone help me with Apn, proxy and port setting for ntel, there's no automatic access point on my phone so I'm trying to create one.

It's almost a week I received my order, @OnePunchMan is really a great guy and flexible too.

I was able to unlock my redmi note 5 bootloader, I launched the mi flash tool and connected my phone. The process was instant, no waiting. So tonight I will download resurrection remix rom and flash it for a start.

GrandMufti:
What all settings have you tried so far?

Optimization to background process limit to turning off battery saver.

lanre316:
There's a simple solution. Just lock the apps so they won't close in the background. It's not redmi 5 problem, it's it's Miui9 feature. I experienced that when upgraded my redmi note 4x. But it's not a problem for me as I prefer my background apps closed to conserve battery. Go to recent apps, drag down your favourite apps a bit and it get locked. It won't get closed when other apps are automatically closed.

It's a simple case of one man meat another man poison

that's a useless feature.

klexycole:
I strongly agree, very true. My 5A Prime doesn't close apps at all as long as the battery isn't down or the phone off.

But that ain't the case for my 5 Plus , it closes my background apps once in a while.


Any solution? 4GB RAM oo

I have only had bad experience using my Redmi Note 5 4gb/64gb, apps hardly stay in the background. I've used every setting possible, I don't mind my battery life being affected, all I need is for my apps to remain in the background. Funny thing is that I only use my phone for browsing not even a single game, I just need all my Chrome, operamini, brave browser tabs, pdf reader to remain open but it's like I'm asking for too much.

Hello Xiaomites, I have been trying to add my account and device so that I can start my bootloader unlocking process on my Redmi Note 5 but I keep getting an error to connect to the network and try again but my data is active and the network is quite strong, I have even tried while connected to WiFi but the same error. Please who has idea what I should do because on a serious note I'm having a bad experience using MIUI and I wish to install a custom rom.

iheanyi4u:
Something funny happened yesterday, A case I ordered April Last year Just arrived yesterday. When the post office guy came, I was confused cos I wasn't expecting anything. On opening it I discovered it was a case ordered last year that the seller had to send another one after the order exceeded 30 days. China post small shipping is just erratic I swear , even if na camel them use ship am

I ordered a USB cable in January after waiting 60days I had to open a dispute, funny enough last week the post office man called me that I have 3 items whereas I was expecting only 2 but then I knew it had to be the cable. I have messaged the store, I will have to pay them.

adamix:
Works well for me...i didnt even tweak anything...just turn off batter saver

It has been off since the beginning.

gidieberry:
welcome to miui.. Miui is a heavily skinned android UI but ram management aint dt bad as u trying to paint it... U cn whatsapp me 07033301712 for what to do

Thank you, I'm going to install a custom ROM when I'm ready.

adamix:
Its a problem with their old rom...the leaked global 9.5.6 rom is incredible.....you can actually turn off battery saver that stops the apps killing.. Try get the leaked version if your BL is unlocked or miuipro 9.5.6 global...both have superb memory management

My phone came preinstalled with 9.5.6

Gptech:
Settings- Battery- Choose apps- No restriction

Thank you, hopefully it will work.

Elxandre:
Go to developer settings and turn MIUI optimization off.
It will impact your battery life for sure though

It has been off since I started using the phone.

Miui ram management is too aggressive for my liking, on my Redmi Note 5 4gb/64 I will just open a few apps only to come back and meet them closed. My 3 yr old Asus ZenFone 2 4gb/32 memory management is far better.

House, is there anyway I can increase the vibration intensity of my Redmi note 5? I can hardly feel the vibration for notifications and calls and my phone is usually 99% on vibration, the other 1% on silent. My Asus ZenFone 2 vibration is on steroids when compared with the Redmi Note 5.

I have a case suggestion incase anyone wants to buy a phone case. I bought this case for my Redmi Note 5 and I can tell you that it oozes quality. The back is fabric and the silicon edge of a high quality not like your typical silicon case. This is the link to the store http://s.aliexpress.com/EnA3U7JJ?fromSns=Copy and it took only 2 weeks to reach my post office.

zainkay:
how much did you get it bro?

I ordered it during the AliExpress anniversary sale over 70K.

@Noobody has done it again, 3rd time and he delivered as promised. Always prompt in communication. The first Xiaomi phone I will be using and I'm really impressed so far.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Global version), Tempered glass and case landed in Abakaliki courtesy of Mr Noobody, second time I will be requiring his services and he has delivered to the fullest.

He's one of the few Nigerians I've come to really trust.
(Don't mind the picture quality)

Antispexish, I have been following your story and it has been a nice read so far. Keep it up, but I'd like to call your attention to your use of "Their" and "There", you tend to use "their" instead of "there".
