Guys have argued same nonsense with me in one Whatsapp group like that.
Saying after three years, all other flagship phones except Samsung start to lag and stuff... And you won't be able to use them to play games again.

You mean people who don't even know what flagship means?

orogodoganyin:
LoL... Some guys just like to talk

The boldness naim surprise me pass. Still wondering if it's pure ignorance or na sarcasm.

Kaczynski:
Yes

If you are an average normie, by all means go for Xiaomi. Xiaomi limits people from tinkering with their devices, certain things you cannot do on Xiaomi without getting your device turned to toast.

Out of curiosity, things like?

nwabuwa:
15c is just not good

It's a very good entry level phone. What do you expect from an approximately $100 phone? The least Xiaomi phone even as at 2017 sold for around $90, that was the Redmi 4a. Leave the 'a and c' series for our grandmas. You should only consider them if you are really really tight on budget.

Will drop pictures tomorrow when I get home

Bros, we don wait for tomorrow 19 times now, how far na .

Indigbo:
Any idea please?

The size of generator you need does not depend on the size of your house, it depends on the load to be powered. It's better you state the power of those your non inverter ACs. Even if you finally get a gen to power them, it's advisable to turn them on one at a time, maybe you give an interval of like 3 minutes in between.

How much is xiaomi 15, then?

Used Xiaomi 14 is around 500k depending on the condition, Xiaomi 15 new is well over 700k

stephinnoyewole:
I have the IMEI, not carton though
Meanwhile, I am sure the phone is inaccessible yet, I just want to be sure if deleting it from my Mi account would make it accessible

I have not tried thar out personally, but it should make it accessible.

Mrluv:
That is what i am saying after flashing the phone mi account would lock the phone make it impossible for thief to use if the thief could not use the phone there is no way the phone can be track that is why i said that option should be remove and even after flashing your mi account should still be active

Ok, I understand your point now.

Mrluv:
all this mi account and anti theft app are rubbish i think producer of phone should create an app even if the thief flash the phone the mi account should be still active that locking of a thing should be optional allow the thief use the phone and immediately another sim is insert on the phone let the number be sent to your email and very password of the thief social account it would go a long way to solve phone thief

Everything you said is exactly how it works except the social media account part. If your bootloader is not unlocked it is practically impossible to even flash the phone. By the way, I don't think many phone thieves these days are dumb, they know about tracking and all, in fact, thieves are seeing what we post here too, so they are careful.

December 2023 my phone was stolen, it was a miracle we found the thief the next day because someone saw him running out like a thief from the premises the previous day. The thief in question was around 16 years old then and didn't look very sharp in my eyes. But was shocked me was, in less than 24 hours he was in possession of the phone, he already deleted all my media files and replaced them with his. He also ensured all apps and settings were locked. All these was possible because I didn't bother using any lock feature on my phone, I only enabled find my device from my Mi account. The plan was if anybody steals the phone, he/she won't need to flash the phone to use it, just delete my files and move on. That was, I can even allow the person to use the phone for like a week before tracking him or her down.
To my amazement, the plan worked, the thief did not flash the phone, he just deleted by files but he was smart enough to ensure that he didn't use the phone with any sim or with any connectivity to the internet. He later confessed that he was planning to sell off the phone as scrap. Nowadays, many times, stolen phones are torn apart and the parts sold off to avoid any form of tracking.

stephinnoyewole:
But would that fulfil my goal?

Assuming the thief is not wise as to use the phone like that and you still have the carton of your phone ( for the imei number) then the police can use that to track the phone.

Offpoint1:
I mentioned 4k...

Not here for argument, then you shouldn't have mentioned the screen size since it is not necessary.

Offpoint1:
If you want to know what data gulping is... Try Netflix 4k on 88 TV 😂

But screen size does not affect data consumption.

stephinnoyewole:
Thanks for this boss
What if I delete the phone from my Mi cloud?

Means you'll no longer be able to control the phone remotely.

stephinnoyewole:
They keep removing my comments, dont know why ooo

Now I understand what you want. In summary, you want to use the stolen phone as a bait to catch the thief right?
You cannot logout your mi account from the device remotely. Assuming lost mode was enabled and you didn't turn on screen lock (either by password or fingerprint), then your best bet would have been to just retrieve your sim(s) and allow the thief to use the phone. That way it would be easy to achieve what you want. But even at that, if anyone makes an attempt to flash the phone or even do a factory reset, the phone will be locked and will be difficult to track too.

genius43:
I believe we spoke about this the other day. Let's wait for suggestions from Oga Gptech

Some of the question nr clear oo.

ebenezer880:
Irrespective of the longevity or how long it last what can you say about the selection

They are all budget devices so don't expect too much from them. If you are cool with Xos, consider the Infinix hot 60i.

Misterlecturer:
Hello bro. I got the Mi 11 Ultra from KunlexyInc1. I'm really glad U introduced him cos guy was really helpful. The device itself is excellent.

Uwc .

ebenezer880:
Note : please a phone that will last 4 years cost I don't change phone yearly

It will be difficult for you to get answers to your questions. How long a phone lasts depends largely on how you handle it. A friend used a Google Pixel 9 pro xl for only about a month; now phone is dead because of an accident.

olatunjithomas:
Good morning, thank you so much for your support and your professional advice. Though I may not be able to give you battery life in term of percentage, I can guarantee that the battery performance is still okay.
However, if replacing the battery will get the issue fixed, I'll explore the option. My only concern is that what have in the market are fake batteries.

Since you are in Lagos contact @Igemburg. He should be able to help you out.

Change the Xiaomi to 'Redmi note' .

eby001:
Abeg o, after all the yabbing, my people go still buy the blord version. Apple has nailed the build quality whether titanium or steel, just falling short in this rat race of software development and ai. Missed my good old redmi7 and rn10pro.


Thread still going strong, I hail gptech, ityp, genius43 and other guys from as far back as 2019.

We hail oooo.

olatunjithomas:
Though the screen has been once replaced, that was long before this issue started. I gave it to a phone repairer in Ikeja after every attempt to make it work failed. The first time this happened, the guy opened the back glass and did one or before the phone came back on. He's been trying the same thing ever since, but the phone has refused to load past that MI page .
The rubber band was used to hold the back glass in place so it doesn't fall of.

How is the battery life of your phone like? Still ok? It's possible a new battery might just fix it.

olatunjithomas:
Good morning everyone.
My Xiaomi Mi note 10 is stuck on the "Mi " screen and won't load to homepage. It's been like that for more than 2 weeks now.

I sent it to the Redmi office on Awolowo road, Ikeja, but they couldn't do anything. It's currently with a phone repairer in Ikeja.

What is the genesis of the whole matter? It's looking like the screen just got replaced.

saky18:
Try here. I recently got Redmi Note 4X battery from them.
NOHON official store:

Please drop your review here after using it for a while. Those days they were not shipping to Nigeria. I hope they won't compromise on quality.

ityP:
Lmao. Come buy my Poco F5 1.8 million na. I get like 200k to add

I hope you get plenty bullet .

Heathen:
My charger has developed a weird problem. The charger can't charge my phone or earbuds using a usb c cable, it flat out doesn't work. At first I suspected something was wrong with the usb cable but I've tested it across multiple charger and even laptop and it works. The charger also works, I've tested it with micro usb cable and it worked perfectly. It just seems to not work with usb c anymore. Has anyone encountered such a problem before?
Both chargers and usb c cable are OEM by the way.

Have you tested another usb C cable with the charger? If it doesn't work, just buy a new charger.

ityP:
My Poco F5 no go get Super Island. Very annoying

Na to vex buy IPhone 17 pro max na .

abdsamad:
Redmi 9s in general.
Note 9s seems to have.

There's no Redmi 9s in Xiaomi portfolio of phones.

Mrluv:
my redmi 9s does not have compass sensor is my redmi 9s fake

I belive you meant Redmi note 9s. Try the default compass and see if it works. This looks like a hardware issue particular to your device.
