GrandMufti:
That's the reason I stay away from dev rom. The thought of reflashing and re-entering numerous app passwords

Don't get you, you don't need to do anything special on developer rom, no reflashing and whatsoever. The reflashing I stated is useful for any rom whether global or stable. Sometimes when flashing a rom for the first time, your device might become unstable, and reflashing the rom can fix it. Something similar happened to me when I first flashed miui 8.

Exactly! As as stated by GrandMufti, hope you have a backup before flashing new roms?

Mehn... Dz developer rom na wa o.. E clear my contacts on sim 1..I no ft save contacts also... Abeg o.. Hep me

Which particular developer rom do you have installed? You can reflash the rom to get rid of such bugs.

Seriously waterproofing should be considered as a must for phones. I know its expensive to get that done but by the time every manufacturer jumps in the train, it will become cheaper.

I tried unlocking d phone with mi flash unlock.. It brought unlock reboot phone now, I did reboot but when going to recovery it is still d same thing

Hmm, have you tried applying for unlocking bootloader officially?

vosquare:
Yea... But d battery is out of it.... It's charges very very fast... But drains slowly... Thats d only issue I have with d phone

Is this suppose to be a con? Its a pro for me.

SmartChoices:
are you referring to this?

Welcome on board.
What's your device's name?

vosquare:
still waiting bro

I thought you already updated! Anyway seems they are battling with some issues because they just released for redmi 2 prime.

amadika:
There's no better rom than the ones from European forum Xiaomi.eu

-better optimized
-no Chinese bloatwares
-google services preinstalled
-Easy to root,
Plus many other good things.

@bolded,like?

40manlappy:
Any idea of how much Mi4 and Mi5 cost?

Hmm, concerning mi4, if I really need that device, I could get the 64gig rom version for same price as redmi 3 pro, reason is because its on flash sale. Only con is the lack of 4g. If you don't care about 4g, you might consider it.

seyema:
is redmi 3s(2gb ram version) still worthy of buying since dollar no allow person buy note 3 pro?

Of course yes, its a very capable device. If not that I consider 5 inch small, would have grabbed it long ago. For memory, would rather sacrifice 1 sim.

This temptation though

BuzzRay:
Hello, i think if ure rooted and you use the updater app to update yr phone, it might get bricked. i read it in miui forum

Not really.

Ochasky23:
I'm interested please,how do I get it?

Check Initialize, Elijahdre, or kulimart. I think Initialize is cheaper.

BuzzRay:
I have heard cases of users who unroot before update, but their phone stil got bricked, its scary. Developer roms are great but not free from bugs. I prefer the gobal rom.

Are you rooted? If yes what are the ways you updated without being stuck on bootloop.(i hate updating with Mi flash) Am asking because i don't currently use a miui phone, planning on getting the redmi 2 soon, although i have used redmi 1.

I actually updated my rooted phone from miui 7 to miui 8 through the updater app. I only lost root privilege after the update. Since most of the apps I had bought while rooted still works even after losing root access, I see no reason to root for now. After switching to developer rom, I think custom roms( its a major reason for rooting) look useless to me for now.

Ochasky23:
How much can I get Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime?

Around 50k, for the 2gig ram, 16gig rom version.

For those planning on getting the redmi 2,unless you are on a budget, why not get the redmi 3?

toluwanimi07:
I think am gonna wait for redmi 4 it has good specs

Hahahahahahahaha, if you don't settle for one now, you might likely wait for redmi note 5s pro

dauddy97:
hope the phone is cool. I need money urgent that is why I want to see mine

25k? Serious buyer

nagoya2:

aimmydidi:
Someone by this phone now.

Igemburg:
Please can we get xiaomi accessories in Nigeria like back cover? I need it for redmi 2. Thanks in anticipation.

If you are in Warri, could help, otherwise ask kulimart and others.

Harus:
I'm on global rom. Which rom improve battery life sir.

Let me assume there is a bug affecting your phone, otherwise the battery of the mi5 is very impressive.

Harus:
Pls kindly guide me.

Please you will have to upload your miui version lets know if you are on Chinese rom or Global rom. Goto settings-About phone.

Harus:
If the thief go to mi account to sign out so that he can erase the data on the phone, it will ask for password.
Click "forgot password" and in the process, he'll get to set new password, erase the data on phone.
Go to mi cloud and uncheck "find device".

What use is the account ID if the account name and password are changed?

If you follow procedures above, u can do factory reset..

Please try and do a random factory reset on your phone lets see how far you can get. I posted a link on nairaland of someone who tried to do factory reset after selling his Xiaomi max, he couldn't.

Harus:
It's a very good phone to have but battery spoil the show.

You need to change your rom.

Harus:
I just unbox my mi5 on Monday and I discovered that
Xiaomi mi account can easily be changed by any intruder.
Just go to settings, click on mi account, change username and password easily.
Xiaomi no smart on this.
It should have asked for answers to security questions before change of password.
So if my phone is not yet locked and it got snatched by a thief, the phone is gone forever!

So xiaomi phones users must put "settings" in
"app lock" otherwise, phone is temporarily yours.
I'm disappointed but finger scanner make it easier.

The security feature is far far smarter than you think. First you can't just change a password randomly. Then even if any thief succeeds in changing the password, he has not even scratched anything regarding being tracked. He is all yours if you want to catch him because there's no way he can change the mi account id.


As you can see there is an option for security question.

NgcoboP:
are you sure about the security issue? gptech kulimart over to you...grandmufti too

He needs time to understand miui

KuliMart:
This MIUI text message scheduling is saving lives since 350 AD. Have you tried it?

Very wicked feature for those who have so many schedules, will try it soon.

NgcoboP:
