Concerning this issue, I went to the shop on Monday and they said I would get the phone in 14 working days.
Since I had another phone I say no wahala only for me to get a call this morning saying the phone refused to come on because I did not update it and they need to install something else inside for it to work and I should bring 10K.

Which kind of stupid excuse is that.

You are under warranty and not liable for that.

It got the hair correct, Nairaland algorithm has tampered with the pic after I've reduced the size of the pic...which app can I use to resize my pics,the one I use makes my pics blurry a little after compressing.

Lit Photo is my go to.

As for the hair it blends with the blur at the edges, hence my observation.

folash:
Thank you very much, but I can't find redmi note 10 pro on the store I want to order from on AliExpress, but Poco x3 pro is available.

Is Poco x3 pro also a good option? I'm sorry for my too many questions.

In terms of Camera Poco X3 Pro isn't as good as RN10 Pro, it was made for the Gaming community.

As for AliExpress it is a 50/50 thing try your luck.

Horladayod1:
Super shady entity, that's what Nipost is. They said, on 5th of May, that the parcel was in transit to Nigeria. Then they said they didn't have it in their system on the 2nd of August.

I guess Aliexpress disabled my account because they thought I received the parcel and still filed a dispute for refund. It was my first order on that account.

They said Nipost should give me proof that they don't have it, Nipost said there's no such thing.

They all just wasted my money, effort and time.

I'm glad Speedaf is here, honestly.

Sorry for your Ordeal.

michaellovaldo:


Jokes apart tho, Nairaland reduced the quality and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the edge detection,the original file size is 8Mb, reduced it to 3MB.

To be honest the edge detection is not as I expected. Look at the hair area it is very visible there.

But overall the picture is good even though I would prefer a more subtle blur.

folash:
Please I'm torn between the following devices:
Redmi note 10pro
Poco x3
Mi note 10 lite

The camera is the most important thing to me as I would be using it for vloging. So please which should I go for among these three?

Redmi Note 10 Pro. Mi Note 10 lite is no longer in production and it will also be difficult to get Poco X3.

Horladayod1:
Track 24 say, "There was a problem delivering your package, contact sender".

Postal Ninja reads the same thing as Global Cainiao, as in the screenshot I posted earlier.

I already contacted Soundpeats and Aliexpress after the buying protection period finished, they both claim the package was with Nipost. Nipost said they didn't have it on their system. I opened a dispute to have it closed and my account permanently disabled.

That is serious. Nipost can be messed up atimes.

Horladayod1:
Please who understands what the latest event on this item means?

For context, it's a Soundpeats Sonic I ordered since March and it was sent through Nipost. I have not received it yet. I opened and lost a dispute on the item. I had given up but just decided to check the item today.

Track with track24.net or postal.ninja

Princessayot:
Thanks for your help

You are welcome.

Dat2jo:
What's the least I can do? Not necessary Xiaomi

The least you can do is get a used phone. This is just me being honest.

Naira is ₦550 in the parallel market meaning 40k is just around $73.

Princessayot:
Oh thanks alot
I tracked this other one though NG001206672O(New Tracking Number:NG001582545R) but it's not on speedaf

Just keep your fingers crossed

TheLoneCitizen:
So I can't make a one-item order of $150?

That is were Barter comes in. Seems you weren't paying much attention.

Princessayot:
Please do you have an idea what that may mean?
The delivering time in the picture, does that mean that's the number of days it takes to be delivered to me?

This is the state of your parcel.

Dat2jo:
Guys mek una help na! Abeg

Sleekness and Camera and 40k don't belong in the same world.

That aside even in Xiaomi's portfolio 40k can't get you any brand new phone.

These are why no one answered you.

Ernesttoby30:
Hello house, Since the very moment i upgraded my Redmi 9 to the latest version (12.5.1), it has been lagging seriously. Is now frustrating my activities.

Please any solution to it? Note: i still have space in my storage, yet the phone be hanging everytime

Backup and do a factory reset

Princessayot:
My package has been stuck on that same place too for the same date

Sorry.

TheLoneCitizen:
You're 100% accurate on this. Access Bank just confirmed this to me.

So can you kindly help me with how I am to contact the seller to split?

Most sellers don't accept this.

lastburn:
I want to swap my Redmi note 8pro 128/6g ram for mi 10 will add cash if it's clear enough.

There is no way on earth you won't add money to buy a Mi 10 even if it is used.

UPDATED2020:
HOW CAN THEY BYPASS IT AND MAKE IT WORK AGAIN, DO THEY NEED TO FLASH IT OR HOW DO PEOPLE FACTORY SET STOLEN REDMI LOCKED WITH MI CLOUD

Why type in Capital letters, don't you know that it means shouting?

To your question I don't know how they do it but some people do.

Reminderz:
Thank you so much. I'm going to try this later. atheistandproud, thank you too.. Please will I be able to change back to the default font after applying a new one? If yes, where would the default font be in order to reapply it? That's just in case I don't like the font I applied, thanks.

Change region to India, go to your font list and select Roboto

Reminderz:
How can I change my font on my Redmi Note 9, the option is not there? How do you guys do it. This is my first Xiomi device.

From your theme app.
Method 1.
Search any of Aafont, Moby Fonts, free or the exact name of font(Note if the font is region locked you may not get it when you search the name).

Look through fonts select one, download and apply.

Method 2.
Change your region to India. You can search for region in your settings search bar.

You will get a Font panel in your theme app you can do method 1 or play around with top fonts, popular fonts etc.

When you are done after restarting change your region back to Nigeria

slimmiee:
Thanks for assisting. I used track24.net and this is what I saw. What does failed delivery mean? They never contacted me for any delivery should I still wait a day or two?

Wait a day or two.

It depends on location, for mine, I get two failed/unsuccessful delivery, first at the State HQ and second when it finally gets to my Post Office.

So failed Delivery usually us that it is at your post office.

slimmiee:
I got a mail from Ali express that my order arrived on September 8th, I usually get a call from nipost that I have a package and they usually deliver to me. But over 5 orders now from Ali express I stopped getting my parcel. But getting this mail that I should go and get my package from my local post office that my order has arrived. Should I go there or wait for a call from them? Has anyone experienced this? Please assist

Wait for a day or two for their message.

Track with track24.net for more details of your item movement.

I personally don't check AliExpress tracking once I get my tracking number.

Tiger2020:
not just lagos but everywhere

There are places in the North you can do it and get away with it.

Moneyboyz:
See the tracking below.
Is there a way to contact them to send out my parcel.

Contact who? This one is for you to take up with the post office. If they don't have it. Contact the seller.

TheLoneCitizen:
I'm afraid you're confusing me, sir.

The image below is from Access official website. They say the Mastercard is available only in naira. In fact, no access bank card eligible for international transaction is lower than the $300 limit, according to the site.

If this is confirmed I don't think I need a prepaid card again, I think I'll opt for the regular mastercard/visa card.

But I want to understand you sir: if I go for a naira card, I get the bank exchange rate, while if I go for a dollar card, I have to find myself at a higher rate?

This info is before the current currency regime.

If you doubt dabble it. You will come and give us feed back of how you spend $1000 daily on a Naira Domiciled card.

Shegun010:
I thought the Note 10 Pro doesn't have a proximity sensor? But uses the calibrated simulation of the movements of the hand to turn the screen off while taking a call? Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are very wrong.

It has a proximity sensor

Moneyboyz:
I ordered 5 items since the 27th of July, received 3 over a month ago and the last 2 are yet to arrive. What baffles me is that one of them shows arrived at destination country over a month ago I haven't received it. Tracking number starts with RU. Does this mean my package is lost or something fishy is going on, I'm very concerned cause it's very precious to me.

Track with track24.net to know the exact state

TheLoneCitizen:
I read that the mastercard has a $1,000 daily transaction.

Don't get it twisted. Naira MasterCards has a $100 monthly limit.

If you want to do away with the limit you have to get a dollar MasterCard and fund it yourself.

TheLoneCitizen:
Thank you so much, brothers, for your tolerant guidance.

I have learnt that the best option is to use a Nigerian prepaid card due to their cheaper rate over virtual cards.

I have settled for the Access Prepaid Mastercard over UBA's. Is this okay?

One more question (might not be the last):
I read I will need to submit some documents in case my purchase goes awry.
But the problem is that I am seeing international passport or driver's license, papers I can't produce.

How do I go about this?

Hope you are okay with the $100 monthly limit on Access Bank Naira Domiciled Visa(Which is best for Access Bank) or MasterCards?

Because if you are been dodgy about exchange rates then you should be prepared to buy things around the $100 cap.

TheLoneCitizen:
Thank you. Parallel market is the one on Google, right?

Read it through, and discovered the best options are UBA dollar prepaid card and Barter?
When it comes to exchange rate, which will you recommend?

Please can someone help with the other questions.

Parallel Market is Black Market or BDC.
Any Dollar prepaid Card you would be responsible for funding it yourself meaning you will have to resort to the parallel market again.

Barter only saves you the stress since you can fund the virtual card with your normal Naira debit card.
