By next year, na dey get full charge in less than an hour for >4000mah batteries go b d trend, mate 20 pro don start am, over to mid range phones. Maybe Redmi note 8 pro sha, fingers crossed. .

iambakay:
I have 7 of the phones that are having one or the other fault

Are they yours or you are trying to fix them for the owners?

GrandMufti:
How come? It's supposed to take longer......

Supercharge , some miui 10 users dey experience same.

Tiger2020:
My rn5 takes 2hrs 16mins to charge from 0% to 100% is it normal

Yes, it's normal.

Maxcoded:
Well it only happens if you flash the so called "global roms" on a Chinese ROM....

and by so called "global ROM", I mean those ROMS aliexpress sellers put on Chinese version phones.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough with my first comment

Maybe you meant shop/fake roms. Almost every rom flashed by sellers are genuine roms, and such phones won't have any issue. The very few times sellers will flash fake roms will be due to the unavailability of official roms or lack of Global roms.
Let's take a little drift. I got a Mi Max 3 Chinese Version some weeks back with a controversial Global rom installed by the seller (miui 9.6.4.0). If you check, online, till date, there's still controversy whether this rom is genuine, fake, or in between. In fact some moderators on miui forum declared it as fake and warned of the potential of bricking your device if you attempt to flash the official rom on it. They even claimed the rom won't get OTA. That rom has issues with modems / network, plus lagging issues. Some early buyers already attempted tweaking their devices, some rooted, unlocked bootloader, re locked bootloader, flashed eu roms, flashed China dev roms, and some got their devices bricked during the process. To cut a long story short, after reading through the 59 pages of the thread, I was convinced that the rom is not fake afterall mainly because I got a miui 10 OTA update on the device after connecting to WiFi ( note that some fake roms also get OTA updates, the Redmi 5 plus comes to mind). Device is currently running miui 10 Global Stable rom.

I think there's issue with logistics, might be reshipped, have you messaged the seller?

darkhorizon:
Abeg I flashed a zip file (camera patch by nhappyman) on my Redmi Note 5 ai. But it's not working and my camera is not coming up either, I want to remove the zip file mod, how do I go about this


Fibonacci Gptech Grandmufti

You should have searched for a way of removing it before even flashing na.
Modified : Please don't flash just any just magisk module, some will mess up with your device. Hope you have removed it by now?

harryakand:
Oga Gptech, abeg wetin this wan mean?

. Which shipping method is this?

Maxcoded:
I have heard stories of the so called global ROM installed on Chinese version phones having OTA update feature missing after flashing, plus the possibility of the phone been bricked

How is this even possible?

lanre316:
No sir. I prefer the Chinese phone with global rom installed. I just want to be assured that updates will not brick my phone, based on some things I heard about Xiaomi trying to discourage global rom installation on Chinese phones.

I actually don't care whether bootloader is locked or unlocked. I just want a phone that won't brick when updating.

Thanks.

Like I said, you are fine, there's nothing to be afraid about.

Maxcoded:
But I don't get, the shipment already arrived at Lagos Air na, why sending back

I nr even understand why dem return am, seller don refund me less than 24hrs after opening dispute.

Meanwhile, this na wetin person nr dey pray to see after waiting out for your order to arrive , thank God say na phone case.

gidieberry:

Sleep don run from my eyes , exactly something like this.

klexycole:
Be like say I go run from this thread las las.

From experience, you only fit hold your comments for a time, but u must definitely dey follow up, how many we don catch here . Just wait till somebody make that comment wen go finally force u out of hibernation .

Mrcalxy:
Leave that to the professionals... If you no Sabi do flashing of ROMs, take it to someone that knows how. It's not even hard

Blike to flash rom just dey sweet u abi? When b d first time u flash rom sef? . Imagine taking your phone from one kind interior part a town to another, and spend the whole day, plus cash, plus d stress, just to flash your phone . Andy who say bugs nr dey?

klexycole:
Definitely sir. Meanwhile, before you know it, another jaw-dropping mid-ranger has been launched.

Naim b more wahala na .

traecey:
I know that, I asked because of the lanre316 question u answered

Ok, I believe he is not planning to lock his bootloader, most persons like theirs unlocked.

klexycole:
I personally don't rely on GsmArena anymore. They don't have accurate information about phones. I watch unboxing and hands-on reviews on YouTube to get all I want.

Similarly, I've watched several video comparisons of both phones, and the 8x seems better marginally. Regarding software updates and all, Honor push constant updates on their phones too, safe for the inability to unlock bootloader.

But then, I haven't chosen the one to buy yet.

Definitely a tough one, the Honor is even cheaper currently, decision should be based on what one can live with/ without.

traecey:
Is it possible for global Rom to be installed and bootloader locked?

If you buy the Global rom ( Chinese version with Global rom installed), your bootloader will come unlocked. Trying to lock the bootloader is where you might have issues of bricking.

klexycole:
True that, but individual usage differs.

Just saw a video now, and the included charger is not a quick charger, you'll need to get one if you need quick charging . On the plus side, Gsmarena and some of their wrong info, phone actually has an hybrid sim slot contrary to what Gsmarena says.

On the battery stuff, yes individual usage affects alot. Network stability, temperature, luminosity, etc also affects. If you are a traveller, you'll really suffer .

lanre316:
The global rom installed. Will it be safe to update it later in the future. I heard that Xiaomi has started making it impossible to update Chinese redmi with global rom installed, unless bootloader is unlocked. How true is this?

You are fine with updates, there's no cause for alarm, what you heard of is something totally different.

pharmtasy:
Is it a hybrid sim slot phone?

Yes, it's hybrid sim.

klexycole:
Nice. Seems I will be going for Mi 8 Lite too then. But one would need to get the Xiaomi 2c powerbank because of the low capacity.

Won't say battery is low, you know the S660 is power efficient, and there's quick charger out of the box. Getting a power bank should not be a must here.

klexycole:
At bolded, was it for your personal use? If yes, which did you later settled for?

Its for a friend, later settled for the Mi 8 lite, she too like updates plus usb type C. Also, she already is used to using Bluetooth earphones-work and play at thesame time.

WCUB3:
Pls is it advisable to use 2 tempered glass on a fone screen? What are the pros and cons?

Cc @gptech grandmufti henry007 et al

Your phone will be less responsive to touch if you do it. There's no advantage of using two tampered glasses at thesame time, it won't add to your phone's protection.

acekid109:
that ability to unlock bootloader b d koko for some of us. Even as xiaomi don dey increase am to 720hrs now, we go still wait

I dey tell you .
