There is nothing lower dere actually.. Least u can get RN4X is 53k there about nd same with note 4..it's alternative forgone...i love great camera that's y RN4X isn't for me. Besides i ain't ready to be fighting bugs up nd down.. Doing updates.. Flashing rom nd all.. I see all dat in xiaomi thread..
You obviously visit the thread to view people's comments that love updates and flashing. Not everyone does that or has time for updates, some persons in the thread have not updated for over a year, because they don't want to, I have not updated for a month because I am waiting for Miui 9, I usually get updates every week because am on developer rom, point is if you don't want to update nobody will force you to. Why am I even quoting you? Because you spoke about a device you literally don't know about.

With that xiaomi redmi note 4 camera that can't stand beside hot4 pro talkless of infinix note 4.. Xiaomi only shines in performance and battery..
Are you sure of what you are saying? Or do you mind a camera comparison? Even the Camon Cx is no match for the Redmi note 4x. I don't like blabbing about things like this. Can promise you a camera shootout within 7 days between the Redmi note 4x and the Infinix note 4.

Okay sha.

I had just gone through the photos I took immediately after the update only a few minutes ago only to find out that they're disappeared again!

But I just saw your post only now.

Maybe I'll take your word.. since you said the photos will start appearing with time.

As for the large files in my memory card,

I honestly have no idea how they arrived on my phone.

If I delete them, would I experience any drawbacks whatsoever?
Don't delete for now, until your gallery loads well, you don't see the pics you take now because the gallery is undergoing shuffling.

Brother...


Thank you very much again!

I was finally able to follow your advice instructions and im no on the 8.2.10 updated version.

But

l motnoticed that all my hidden files weren't restored.

However, when I took newer photos, I found out that they actually remained in the gallery!!


..for now sha.

But again!

Thanks for helpful ng me kill two birds with one stone!

You be good.

Ps.. I noticed that my internal storage is almost full only less than 5months after purchasing the phone.

I don't have any heavy files there.. only two videos or thereabouts, the photo album is emptier than normal and I don't have more than 7 apps installed on the phone.
I've used the phone cleaner app countless times but to no avail.

Meanwhile, I found some really heavy files like the ones in the picture..do I delete them all or what do you think?
Your photos will start appearing normally with time, also your app data is responsible for the small available internal memory, that's not avoidable since your rom is 16gig with about 10gig available for use. Lastly, those large files you see on deep cleaner are on your memory card, not phone.

Thank you but I don't like apps jare. If mi mover can do it, I'll rather use mi mover
Use mi mover, it even your app data will be saved, it will be as if you are still on your old device. Also, the moment you login to your Mi Account, your contacts, sms, call logs, notes, etc will be restored, provided you enabled Mi backup.

But you know newer doesn't always mean better, there is an article on androidauthority.com which discusses about this issue, some latest midrange phones match the previous flagships in terms of performance. You are also right in terms of support and manufacturing process, I rest my case cool
Yes, newer is not always better, but for this case it is.

Which is the official one exactly?

The stable or the developer?

Hmm.. no wonder I've tried updating the phone to 8.10 times without number but it kept reverting back to 0% after it clocks 100%!

By the way,

I have no idea how to flash via updater app... embarassed

I dont even know where to get the said app from sef.
Both are official, but since you are on stable, download the first one, which is stable rom.

To flash via recovery :
After downloading the rom, copy it into the Internal memory of your device in a folder you should name ' downloaded_rom'. Then go to the updater app, touch the three dots on the top right of your screen, then click on choose update package, select the folder 'downloaded_rom', tap the rom and your phone will be flashed.
Note : This might take up to 15 mins, don't stop the process until your phone boots to the main screen. Also, ensure you have upto 50% of battery juice before starting.


If I were you, I would save a copy of the rom after downloading, might be useful in case of any bug.

This has been an issue of debate :- "Latest Midrange Phones or Flagships of previous years, which category is better?" so in this case it's a matter of choice..
Of course newer midrangers are better, because of better support, GPU, and a superior manufacturing process in the case of the s625. Its like comparing a Toyota corolla 2016 to a Benz 200.

Greetings house! I'd like to know, who uses developer rom based on Android 7.0 for Redmi Note 4 here?
Here.

you have a point here, but you know it's good to have a 'future proof' device, right now Im using a SD805 phone which I'll be selling soon (Motorola Droid Turbo), so going from SD 805 to SD 625 would be a bit of a downgrade right..?
Don't let the way Qualcomm make their device scatter your head, the snapdragon 625 can be considered a slight upgrade over the snapdragon 805. Of course it's not a flagship, but the performance is on par plus farrrrrrrr better battery performance on the 625.

wow that's cool, because I may switch to one of the xiaomis soon, though I read about users of the MTK complaining about some issues with their phones..I dey fear because na MTK RN4 dey my mind...
All recent Xiaomi phones get global rom except Redmi pro. Nothing do the mtk version, people dey use am here, just ensure say the rom seller flash na official. But e still dey baffle me why you want the mtk instead of the snapdragon, the small almost unnoticeable speed or tweak? U really prefer those to better support?

Yes sir, can't pick on both when they are not on 3G. The screenshot explains what happens whenever I try to pick or reject a call
Its a bug, not hardware related issue, flash the same rom again before we think of a more drastic measure, like wiping before flashing.

Oga Gptech, that mi 5x worth the 'upgrade'?
Just saw this now, incidentally I have been weighing this up this afternoon, why the high price tag? Unfortunately, apart from few camera comparisons with the Galaxy s8, Nokia 6, Mi 5 and 6, there is no proper review yet to justify the price. For me, shouldn't cost more than $200.
