It's sad when some of us abuse the dispute process just because we can especially those using small packet plus. It's very unfair.

Small packet, hehehehe.

Good thought of you. Although , you’ve got a genuine reason to demand for a dispute.

Yeah, reasons plenty.

However , there was a sad trend I learnt about recently about how Nigerian buyers truck the Chinese sellers into making false claim of not receiving their items. Thereby making the seller refund or resend the package.
Please for the good of everyone at long run, desist from dastardly act.
In the near future, most of these sellers will decline to ship to Nigeria. Just like the case with Argos, Amazon, EBay and other western brands during the early 2000s.

Noted. For the good of all, we should just remain as transparent as possible. Was contemplating opening dispute with a seller for flashing a fake rom on a Meizu M6 note I picked up since around Thursday. Phone didn't show any other battery level apart from 50% and didn't last up to 20 mins when charged. Messaged seller for such a mess but up till now there is no response. Actually wanted to punish him /her in anger, but just decided to take my time and about 2 gig of data to flash the official rom. Your post just made me totally erase any possibility of dispute with the seller. Don't want to be a source of obstacle to anyone including myself in future, but some sellers can push you to the wall.

I noticed lately that sometimes when I open my Calls or Messages log or Contacts, it takes some 4/5 seconds to populate. It's never been like that. And ideas what could be the cause? Redmi 3s Prime on MIUI 9 Global Beta

My Xiaomi rn4x is awful at minimising. After few minutes, the app needs to restart. What can be done?

Settings - Battery - choose apps - select the app you need to stay in the background - no restriction.
It you are not satisfied then go type settings - About phone - tap miui version for about 6 times to enable developer options. Then return to settings - Additional settings - Developer options - scroll down to the last option and Turn off miui optimisation.

You can turn off MIUI optimization...but I think if you do that, you may not get updates..

Grandmufti, am I correct?

Not correct, updates will still pop in.

black looks better, hence the price difference.

OEMs should really ditch the white front and just make them black. They can use whatever colour they want on the back but pls use BLACK on the front.

Make dem even ban other colours for phone, black all the way.

Lol. I checked on Aliexpress and could only find mi 5x. I guess that is the Chinese version. But then, the phone is about two years old! Technology, including hardware has moved on.

Mi 5x is not the Chinese version of the Mi 5, it's an entirely different phone.

Greetings my people.

Please help me solve this JAMB question that I have been battling with.
I am currently using a xiaomi redmi 4x. I want to upgrade to something a little higher in chipset and other features but I don't want anything bigger than 5.2 inch screen. I am not a fan of big screens.
My budget is about 65 - 75k.

Kindly drop your recommendations. 10Q.

If you can still lay your hands on the Mi 5, get it fast, phone manufacturers don't care about people like you anymore grin

I hav china dev rom (miui9|8.2.1) on my redmi 5 plus, but d layout option is not thr.. hw do i get it? i nid it badly

Settings - Home screen and recents- home screen layout.
If it's not there then you'll definitely get it later, there is nothing you can do to get it now.

how did u get d home screen layout option

Its there if you are on developer rom, should hopefully get to stable rom soon, those using Mi Max and Mi Max 2 have had it on stable rom from inception, but only have 2 options to choose from.

Please @Gptech how do you make your app notifications to be seen at the top of your notification bar because all my whatsapp and notifications as scattered when entering (I.e separate). Please is there any additional settings required.

Thanks

I think it has to do with your current rom, an update should fix that.
