Dam5reey:
Gptech was right
your alipocket is linked to alipay..
So you can pay into your wallet.. just like having PM.. webmoney.....

So no alipay wallet.. no alipocket.......

Nawa, have you been able to order for your phone?

BuzzRay:
They are not stopping alipay totally, it is only the balance service thats gonna be scrapped. Which means u wont be able to retain $, like Alipocket. U can still pay through alipay.

But both are confusing, what are the difference?

Then what's the use of Alipay or Alipocket if its not for retaining dollars, any explanation?

40manlappy:
There is a feature that I used to enjoy on my former phone that I am yet to experience on RN3 Pro.

When someone sends me a phone number via sms, I cant dial directly from my sms inbox. I have to copy it out manually on the dialer.

This wasn't the case with my previous phone. Any ideas?

cc: GrandMufti, Gptech,

Maybe not in the global rom for now, but I can do that on developer rom, in fact just tapping the number brings out the options to call, text, or copy.

[quote author=willian10 post= ;D51180234]See, patapata 4 weeks, i don tire, even that dealsmachine d price is almost double, I'm tired of dz international stores, & dz one wey dollar dey fluctuate, make GTBank no do turning head

Will never forget when I was getting my phone last year around this period, exchange rate was #220/$, but somehow I waited till the next day and it jumped to #238/$. I bought the phone in anger and refused to get the accessories hoping the Naira would bounce back! Since then na bouncing back we dey wait for oooo

I try to be considerate.. For me, no Gearbest until next year.. Aliexpress things now

Me too, but this Ali pocket ish is getting on my nerves.

temitimx19:
Am not saying Gearbest is bad, I have bought more than 100+ items from them.. But since October 2016, PostNL has been misbehaving. I can show u some of my tracked items, they have been shipped to country of destination for 2-4weeks now, and they haven't even landed Lagos..
The painful part is that Gearbest refunds takes 60days to get your money back, unlike Banggood which takes 35 days and Aliexpress which is an average of 50 days

Thats bad.

Depends on the branch. Not all their branch give instant card




Depends on the branch. Not all their branch give instant card. Don't collect Mastercard cos it won't serve the purpose you want it to serve. Collect visa card
Rate 325

Thanks alot, never knew that.

temitimx19:
I don't have access bank account and I don't know anyone who does.

I think you should open one, they give atm cards immediately according to their customer care representative.

Bookiemart01:
Gearbest? Hope you read what he wrote about 3 undelivered items
Try Dealsmachine

He has been unlucky, gearbest is very reliable, all my orders came out good, the only exception was a memory card that never got delivered( money was refunded). By the was popular speculation says gearbest and dealsmacine have the same owners, you can check their very identical prices.

I think its best to use Access Bank for those buying between $101-$200, to avoid stress.

temitimx19:
Bro, I tried buying $10 Alipay with my own card and it worked, unfortunately I am trying to buy another $10 with my brother card on my own Aliexpress account its not working. Please help

Am on same issue with you got that message too.

Bookiemart01:

Get a dollar account and store dollar now... Rates going to be crazy soon.

I have 1 domiciliary account with Skye bank, maybe its time to dust it.

Im2Busy2Bother:
Dear Customer, we regret to inform you that due to business adjustments, the Alipay balance service will be terminated from January 1, 2017 (PDT). Please use up your remaining balance as soon as possible. Click to find more details: http://sale.aliexpress.com/4AUiFoEAkV.htm


Yeah...I wonder why

Frustrating thing is that I have been trying to buy $100 since yesterday and I keep getting unsuccessful messages due to upgrade. Was only able to get $70 at night.

So Aliexpress are stopping Alipay by January, not good at all.

iXavier:
I want to use access bank
#325/$

I thought it was #380/$, are you sure of this?

Paxziano:
Same with me. I bought on the 14th of Nov and till now I hv not seen tracking num. Sent a mail to dem and dey sed 2-7 days. So I am waiting. But lately I hv read they r a scam site. I don't kno how true it is

Not true, but pray not to have any issues regarding your order, because their customer service is trash!

TFactor:
Pls where can I get this phone in warri?

Depends on how long you can wait.

vosquare:
How

Hope you nr go explode your battery so?

brandon180:
Ugly device..y cant d zero series ever have nice designs..

But zero was nice, perhaps the best of the zero series ever.

gadgetsngs:
This is the highend phone they announced http://www.gadgetsng.com/2016/11/vivo-xplay6-specs-price.html

Correct! Hope those who scream higher number is better can see that the camera resolution for the high end vivo is just 12MP, whereas the midrange is 20 abi 16 MP, and you think the 16 MP will take better pics than the 12 MP. Also note the price difference between mid and high end! Makes me wonder why some companies that sell like mad here in Nigeria call their best devices high end

davthom:
do u have this phone in hand yet coz it is impossible for mtk helio x20 to be 8cores 4 d inf zero 4 as you stated

Something is fishy here, I suspect the mediatek p10 processor just like the phantom 6.

Abdstrakt:
Snapdragon 400 family-----Entry-level

snapdragon 600 family-----Mass market or Mid-range

snapdragon 800 family------Flagship

So make I ask you and the person wey like your comment, una know wetin be Mid-range?

Seriously, until we educate ourselves on this, many manufacturers will keep overpricing their gadgets. You will see people rushing to buy a mediocre device because of 3 gig ram and the processor is trash! I keep asking them, Infinix hot note with 1 gig ram and 2 gig ram, what's the difference? Nothing! Both phones have similar speed! They think bigger ram will ensure smooth multitasking even when the processor is incapable. Imagine a device with 1.5gig free ram with only one running app as slow as hell and keep restarting apps but another with 320mb free ram running like butter, and one will begin to wonder!

JeffreyJamez:
How the hell do you call this Mid-range?

You know wetin be mid range?

Bros dey call midrange phone flagship because of big ram, rom, and camera resolution. You never see midrange laptops with 1 Terabyte rom and 6gig ram running Intel inside processor?

Phoenix619:
Alright thanks. Is note 4 affected by this too? Though I don't know why some note 3 specs is better than 4, like the camera. 13 to 16

Bro paper specs are not always the same as real life experience. Though reviews say the note 3 is slightly better in camera, take note slightly. Concerning the note 3 battery drain, its definitely a bug that they most likely have started working on, don't let that bother you; like GrandMufti said, you can remain in miui 7 if you desire.

40manlappy:
I have been managing but I just want to feel less "chinko"

I get MI messages in Chinese, MI videos are in Chinese and sometime, I mistakenly type in Chinese alphabets

Time to prepare your Chinese visa

40manlappy:
With all these experiences that you are going, is it not better for me to continue managing my Chinese Stable ROM like that?

Just tired of seeing those Chinese alphabets. Also, the fingerprint sensor has never worked.

cc: GrandMufti, Gptech, semid4lyfe, NgcoboP

Experienced this in one Redmi 3 pro, should be some bugs. But are those Chinese alphabets so annoying that you cannot manage?

Bookiemart01:
I do not think I experience this or is it that I don't keep tab of my battery usage?
I'm not on mobile data network though cos note 3 pro doesn't support 3g and I don't like edge

How do I know if my battery drains out faster than expected?

Your phone should support 3g and 4g, maybe you are in an area with no 4g coverage and your network is set to Lte/ edge.

GrandMufti:
As I'm speaking to you, the developer rom has been suspended for five weeks now. No official word on why they suspended it.

Thought they already lifted the suspension two weeks ago. Redmi note 3 is listed in the supported devices.

GrandMufti:
He uses rn3 mtk, I use rn3 sd. So I don't think it's about processor here.

Miui 8 is heavy and has so many bugs recently. The best rom I have used since getting my redmi note 2 is miui 8 (have used miui 6,7,and now 8 ). I think the very first upgrade to miui 8 was that particular rom. In the last 2 months I have installed miui 8 on two separate redmi 2 devices and they perform excellently well, infact one of the owners made a very positive comment about the battery refusing to die just yesterday. So miui 8 is not bad at all, the developers just messed it up.

vosquare:
Now I'm in trouble and I don't want to bliv what I'm thinking..
Flashed eu latest rom on my rn3 mtk, d rom is dope tho but battery is not normal yet
Flashed miui7,battery was very abnormal

Hope it's not that my battery had been damaged by this silly miui8 rom?

Cc Grandmufti
Gptech

Bugs, bugs, and more bugs! This your experiment of different roms must have injected some bugs in your device . I remember after flashing a Bule custom rom in my redmi note 2,the phone never remained the same even after returning to global stable rom. You may need to do a full wipe of your device to get rid of that bug. But don't forget your Helio x10 chip.

40manlappy:
Why? Does it have anything to do with their quality?

Looping: haibe, Ngcobop, GrandMufti, Gptech

Not really, I think popularity matters here. If infinix can sell lets say 10 million units of a particular model, then that can make them popular and get the attention of international review sites. We all know that in order to be popular, they need to up their game because becoming popular can either make or kill them.
