I have 50k and I don't even know which of the xiaomi to buy, I love the xiaomi redmi note 2 but the way people are complaining about the battery got me worried beside I don't even know where to purchase it again because it's out of stock in Jumia

Thats my phone the battery sucks big time, but the phone is a machine in terms of performance. If you are not a heavy user, the phone is perfect for you, or you may need a power bank to keep up. If you are busy most of the day and normally use phone just for calls, then maybe Internet surfing in the evening, then you don't have a problem with the battery. If you listen to music via earphones a lot, the battery will wow you. Afterall it all comes down to how you use your phone.

Please I don't know which xiaomi to buy, between redmi note 2 and redmi 3 pro and please how much for redmi 3 pro because Jumia are selling redmi note 2 50k

Jumia sells redmi note 2? Anyway if you care for power over battery get the redmi note 2, otherwise get the redmi 3 pro or 3s prime. By the way I think the redmi note 2 is the worst performer battery wise of all Xioami phones.

aw much is redmi 3 pro and where can I get it within a week?

This phone seems elusive for now, or maybe it has been replaced with redmi 3 prime. Ask Initialize he may get one for you.

this ROM wahala nko

Ok, which wahala? Name am make we see.

Phones › Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 11:44pm On Dec 12, 2016

Just observing for some time now. Some people talking about rom this, rom that, as if there is even anything wrong with the roms. Some people when nor too know about some terminologies come dey think say rom na 1 kind big thing. For those scared of the so called wahala, have you asked those who bought theirs with various roms, if they are faced with any issue? Worst case scenario is you have the Chinese rom installed, and you think it is written in Chinese? For your information the Chinese roms remain the best roms out there. There are persons on this thread that changed from global rom to Chinese rom, because of the added features; yet some persons who haven't even installed it paint it to be whatever they can imagine, shm. As for those complaining about sellers installing their own roms on devices, don't you think its better because that way, they have checked for possible faults from factory before selling, or you prefer discovering factory faults yourself? tongue

Enough said, stop scaring people from enjoying what you already enjoy. This thread is here to help with possible issues users may encounter. We are our own customer representatives. grin

According to whats on d net, apparently i have a "Fake ROM" installed on my phone that's why i can't find the settings.
And i have some reasons to believe that.
The phone app doesn't have the caller ID option.
The calculator doesn't have the converter
The lock screen doesn't support the wallpaper carousel
Note app looks a sammy notepad.
The global ROM version isn't supposed to have "CN" in it yet mine has it.

How can i change my ROM to an official one and get root access.

An android phone without root is like jeans without pockets- Mugabe 1675

cc grandmufti vosquare

Don't be in a hurry, don't think there is an official rom for your phone now, just be patient. And about root access, don't think you have much to gain since you already have miui.

I'm interested in buying the redmi note 4 or note 3 but I was told that their 4g bands only work for mtn . Is this true? Pls who has either of these and do you use 4g on networks excluding mtn?

Their phones support 4G for other networks, the problem is not with Xioami but with Glo ( their 4g band is very unpopular and very few phones support it).

Hello guys,

What's the way forward abeg...

Ensure you install TWRP recovery, then you can install as many custom roms as you like. Of course you should be rooted.

Change your network, it happens to me when I use glo. Also if you are on developer rom, you can't customize themes for now, hoping they fix that asap. Those on stable roms can customize themes though.

Has anyone here successfully unlocked redmi note 3 bootloader so as to root. I am on stable rom. And don't want to install custom rom to unlock bootloader as I read on some blogs. I only want to root it. Your response is needed. Thanks.

Someone here has unlocked, rooting is not difficult, just make sure you install a custom recovery, twrp preferably. But if I may ask, since you are not after custom roms then why seek ye root access? grin

K.. what about downloading fonts?

Sure you need root access to get good fonts app, but those using Chinese rom enjoy that without having to root. Will advise you to stay off fonts apps for now.

I haven't got any miui update yet, but I don't want to stress myself with fixing bugs. pls I want to turn off updates.

Even if you have updates, its not by force to download it, just ignore the notifications if you don't want the update. I did same skipping about three updates from miui 7 global stable, before miui 8 was eventually released.
