Mehn.. Still not working o...changed network.. Still d same ish
You may need to download another playstore. Or download playstore fix. To use playstore fix you must be rooted .
Alternatively, try clearing the cache and data of your playstore and then force stop. Reboot your device and open your playstore

can one update directly from KitKat ROM? or I have to go through miui7 first?
Miui update is not actually an Android version update. Depending on the device you use, your Android version is likely to remain the same. And yes, miui 8 runs on kitkat, lollipop, and marshmallow. Just check miui forum for the version for your particular device, you are covered. Even redmi 2 has update for miui 8.

@Gptech: Is the MIUI8 of Stable ROM different from that of Global Stable ROM? Pardon my ignorance cheesy

How do you determine if a product is "Chinese ROM" or other? I am on Stable ROM MIUI 8.0.1.0
We have two stable roms, global stable and Chinese stable roms
The nomenclature of MIUI 8 stable version is V8.X.X.0.XXXXXXX, with the first two X representing the version and revision number, with the other seven representing the Android version, phone model and China/Global ROM. While there used to be many codenames for different countries, it is now united under one MI code for the global market, while CN stands for China. For users who have provided feedback using the built-in bug reporter application, you might find yourself receiving updates unavailable to others, these are called grey updates meant as a beta-testing platform for the public.

gptech am interested in the benefits of the miui8.. can you share your experience especially ba3 wise
Its the best miui update yet! Performance is better, phone runs more smoothly. The new gallery app is more organised, you can now create folders. The notification bar has changed twice now (am on developer rom), I like it. The recent apps can be viewed in grid form optionally, and its smoother than ever.
Taking screenshots it very sweet and easy, plus the ability to make it scrollable to the length of your choice makes it even more fantastic. Though I have noticed it doesn't work for Chrome and UCweb, maybe a bug.
With 'quick ball', I hardly use my power button, unless I remove my battery. The list goes on. For now few themes are compatible for miui 8, but it's already getting interesting. wink
There is also wallpaper carousel, in all its like you have bought a new device.

No problem at all... Only play store not downloading
Try using another network, it happened to me with glo network before updating to miui 8. If changing to another network fails, you may need to download another playstore.

People, we all know that no machine is 100% efficient! Thats why paper/theoretical specs will never translate to real life/ practical performance. Of all the above mentioned chipsets, mtk is farthest from real life performance, especially in battery backup. Its high time Tecno and the likes switched to snapdragons for their flagship.
Phones › Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 11:26pm On Sep 28, 2016
If you need to change to global roms with Google play services, then you need to unlock the bootloader. Hope you are enjoying miui 8,its really awesome!

Done bro.. But no play store
Thats because it is Chinese rom, good to have you back. Now that you have been able to resurrect a bricked phone, I see nothing stopping you from unlocking that bootloader, just be more careful this time.

Who know how to boot into recovery on xiaomi redmi note 3 mtk?... Anytime I try it will just show MI then reboot.

I want to update to mi8 just now, I downloaded d rom for d phone and when I try updating d error I keep getting is couldn't verify this update check other versions.. Abeg who has witnessed this?.
You don't need to go through that to update. The rom you have downloaded, copy it to a folder(create the folder and name it downloaded_rom) in the internal memory of your phone. Then go to the updater app(you can find it in tools) and click on the three dots at the right top, then click on 'choose update package', you will see the folder you created (downloaded_rom), just select the rom there and update will initiate.
Hope you downloaded the right rom?

I wanna buy MI4c dual sim...is it a good option or is there a better option besides that in it's price range...BTW 50-55k
If you can deal with the snapdragon 808 issues plus I believe its the 16gig version you can get for that price, then its a great device if those are no limitations to you; otherwise add small cash and get redmi 3 pro

Xiaomi redmi note 2 battery has improved. It's the only Xiaomi device on MTK that receives enough support.


Note: We have this phone in stock.
Sorry, the battery issue is still there, you can check out other users' comments in miui forum. The support for this device though is great, really great!
Concerning the new update for this week, battery improvement has been promised, I will monitor it for like 3 days because right now there is really an improvement. I normally get such improvement in battery performance after updating but everything changes to normal after some days. I hope this is different.
