I forgot my mi account password. Tried resetting through code, didn't work. Tried manual procedure after filling information I was told I will be getting code in 3days.

Who has tried it? What's the experience like?
Didn't you use an email or phone number during registration? It's advisable to use mail, because your network provider can disappoint you at any time.

There's gcam and there's gcam grin tongue

There's one with Lens blur and no portrait mode... But the real deal is the one that has portrait mode. That one needs camera2api to work.

The one with Lens blur is no different from regular camera app. You won't see any magic we are talking about it that one. grin
Observing grin, even the main gcam get different apks with different outputs for dame device, today has been interesting cheesy.

Coming from someone that has a DSLR camera and a photography knowledge, I would say phone cameras are what it, and you actually pay for what you get.

However, what google did with gcam, I would say it's unbelievable. I would never have imagined software could make so much difference. I'm sure I would have argued with anyone about this in the past. But gcam has humbled me.

Now I can know the limits imposed by hardware can be broken at an exponential level based on software in some cases.

You would not believe me, some shots with gcam viewed on a small screen can be comparable to shots on DSLR viewed on the same small screen.

Recently someone with an iPhone x had to beg me to transfer the pictures I took with gcam on a dirt cheap Samsung a5 2017 as the pictures I took with gcam was way better than the ones he took with his iPhone x.
For most Samsung phones however, camera2api is enabled by default, so no rooting or flashing is needed to install gcam

Will I advice newbies to root because of gcam? No.
Does gcam make a difference in mobile photography? Yes, a big one!

Ultimately, everyone is responsible for their decisions with respect you their phones and the corresponding outcome of the decisions assuming we are all above 18.so if you like use your phone the way it is, if you like install anything you let, it's your phone. But dont come crying when you brick am or blame seller as this is so wrong
I love this comment, was just like you some months back(never believed software can make such a huge difference), I too use Gcam and also a DSLR, the outcome really is mind blowing. The main limitation still is in low light for mobile photography. About your last statement, this issue has been treated many times here, that's why there's a second thread, but many still bring such issues here either deliberately or not.

Can someone please help me with the direct link to download miui 9.6.2 for redmi note 4x global version on my phone? The present 9.6.3 I updated to has been a mess, my phone is heating up and battery draining up real fast, And is it possible to downgrade?
Do you have TWRP flashed ? You can't just downgrade like that unless you use the fastboot method, this will mean you'll lose all your files. If you don't have the file for your current rom, you can download it and flash via updater again, that's a better option. I used a note 4 on the same version as yours some days back, everything was fine.

I currently use camon CX .. I dont want to move to a camera downgrade.. Thus my many questions about d redmi note 5..
Does Snapchat filter hang on video.. Nobody has answered dat question
The questions you ask actually look like an insult to the note 5. Maybe you think we are just overhyping, imagine snapchat shocked. Bros, let me repeat myself, the note 5 trumps the Phantom 8 and Infinix zero 5 in every department, maybe you will understand better now, or will be scared to upgrade to any of these?

You don't get the point, no one is against rooting. If you know your way around it, fantastic. The problem here is people talk about MIUI and the redmi cameras as being thrash, unusable, poo etc which makes the average person on here immediately wanting to root and do whatever on their phone without considering the risks should they find themselves in tight spots. A separate thread has been created for modding etc.

You can't buy a Hyundai i10 and expect it to perform like a Toyota Prado.

Spot on but the note 5 supports VOLTE calls on ntel 4G though... Even though the network has that provision.
Totally ignored the likes of NTEL, don't think they are really looking at voice calls.

So I should go for the redmi note 6... But can u say if the camera is better than dat on the tecno camon series
Camera was not omitted in my submission, the note 5/6 is way better, the difference is clear, both front and rear cameras. I can deduce you a 'notch' lover, you can go with the note 5 pro then, otherwise both are essentially same phones.

What of camera what's d rating.
And Snapchat video does it lag with filter like texno and infinix phones.
And
Gaming how's d experience.
And volte(voice over 4g) does it support calls through LTE
Sorry for d many questions..
Ive been using d tecno all my life. So am stuck between redmi note 6 pro and tecno camon cx pro...
Am currently using camon CX
Am into camera and gaming performance..
And am an app junkie..
Help a Nigga out.
The Redmi note 5 /Redmi note 6pro is better than any Tecno or Infinix in existence in terms of all what you have highlighted. Also, phone supports VOLTE but our network providers here don't have the infrastructure yet. I can understand your apprehension considering where you are coming from grin.

love this theme but the white notification doesnt blend well with the colour
If what you love about in the theme are the icons and maybe wallpaper, why not apply another theme, then customise and use the icon from this theme, maybe lock style too, then go to settings - wallpaper, and apply the very wallpaper you now have?

Reading through this thread and I can see the redmi note series dont have fast charging and it has slow charging issues.. Is it safe to get please.. I am planning on redmi note 6 pro
Wrong observation, Quick charge is supported, but you need to get a quick charger if your want that. Meanwhile, the charger that comes with it is fast enough, it takes approximately 2.5 hours to charge from 0-100%.

Good morning Great people.

As one of the sellers here, I have decided to update my terms of buyer protection in line with global standards

Pls from now henceforth, anyone who buys phones from me will be eligible for return/Refund ONLY IF THEY GET A FAULTY PHONE.
To ensure fair play on both buyer and seller, before I package your item for transit, I will record a video showing phone in working condition and send the video to you same day your package ships.


At the point of receiving package, buyer MUST record an unpacking video of package and testing of the phone, and if fault is detected, video and complaint must be sent to me same day package is received.

Pls note that I will NOT accept video or complaint made days later.

The reason for this is that I have noticed that some buyers take the decision of flashing G cam or whatsoever on their new device, and when these devices are bricked, they come back trying to claim that they got a faulty phone. This is a dishonest act and should be condemned.


Flashing of custom rom/Gcam is a personal decision and the consequences should be borne by the person who decides to.

As a seller, I don't subscribe to altering the software phones come with and I also don't give technical support in that regard. [/b]
This naim b Nairalanding AliExpress.
