what do u want in a phone?
many ppl here wont suggest xiaomi phones to u again for the fear of u coming back to abuse them for hoodwinking u into buying it

Lol it is not that joor. Redmi note 7, then if you want the best software experience, you can choose to Port to another rom.

This was wat i was telling one guy that said the RN7 would be better than x5 when it comes to pubg...
In tdm or just like u said when someone is close frame drops seriously and it doesn't go up again...
I play smooth extreme
... device doesn't really heat up...but the frame drop is much
I'm using the 4gb variant!

I think you are right, though not really. The SD 660 ranks above the p60 and p70 in every mobile processor ranking based on benchmarks and real life performance.

I admit that the performance of the p60 is very close the SD 660 and for the p70, it is better so effiency of cpu should be slightly noticeable, but the SD 660 gives better graphics and has more support.

Then reviews online of the SD 660 shows that pubg should play smoothly using medium graphic setting, except you are running highest graphic setting. I also feel using the game speed booster should further assist in that.

The SD 660 trumps the p60 and p70 on every review. This issue with your redmi note 7 baffles me. The performance should be better

Waawu. I no just like Samsung dominance

Traffic reading is not dependent on the gps. You only need an internet connection for that.
If all your Google play apps, system apps and device firmware are up to date, you have not tinkered with your device network settings and you test when you are outdoors in an open place, you should get a successful message.

If not, it means somebody's got a bug to fix.

Google apps have not been updated though. I get though.

Just came across an advert for Gionee M7 Lite, and on a little search, found it was very recently released by Gionee Nigeria.

Though, I searched on GSMArena, couldn't find any information on it.

Some few Nigeria blogs I found have no information on the particular MTK chipset, only generalized as MTK.

Any help

It is SD 435 abi 423. I cannot remember. But it clocks at 1.25

tstx:
I do so via settings

What browser are you using and how efficient is it in saving data?

I'm waiting for another 7 days before I unlock my BL.. Stock miui is shit, all my friends in telegram are on masik with evira kernel or havoc.. I belive all my issues will be gone when I'm out of stock miui

What are the cons to flashing or rather porting to another rom?
I have been reading on issues of ishs coming up after tweaking

Born2smile:
Well......... I would really appreciate seeing your successful screenshot.
While you are preferably out doors with a clear sky,

type *#*#6484#*#* on your dial pad,
Scroll down and tap on gps to start the test.
Wait for about a minute or two for the test to complete,
Take a screenshot and let's see.
If possible, you can crop the top half of the screenshot.

Anything short of a successful screenshot will not hold water in court

Hehe. Well I got the error message after a minute plus. Then I tried using the map and everything seemed good and valid inclusive of its direction and length of travel, even traffic reading. Then, I am a noob in this..so what do I know?

If you have time, maybe you could explain. Hehe e no too late to learn

Born2smile:
Great, could you post a screenshot of the results? I want to see what it shows when it is successful.
Thanks.

Honestly I do not know how to use the GPS stuff since I never use it. By successful, I mean I didn't get the error message i saw in your screenshot and my apps are all updated as I follow everything squarely. With this in mind, I think it is a fair conclusion to say it should be working perfectly

mykelshowz:
leave that one bros, I'm not a noob.. be like u no understand.. anyways thanks

The game booster should help with a better performance and a longer lasting battery. Then, maybe you have tried that already. I am just not a fan of tweaking

Born2smile:
So I noticed some days back that gps was not working as expected in my rn7. It takes ages, if at all, to zero in on my position. Google maps was practically unusable. Driving mode was not possible because gps signal was not functioning or was very poor (always saying gps signal lost).
Gps test using *#*#6484#*#* is never successful.

I spent a couple of days trying to figure out the problem. Came across this thread on mi forum

https://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5567417&extra=page%3D1&page=1&mobile=2

Very weird solution if you ask me.

And this thread on xda

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/help/gps-issue-t3902512/page1


After doing some further digging in the above threads and other sources, I was able to improve it a little by changing a setting I had changed before.
Apparently, if you have used *#*#4636#*#* to change the network setting of your second sim to GSM only, maybe to save some battery life, this affects the gps performance.

Also, there have been some System apps updates pushed by xiaomi which I ignored and refused to install. If these were meant to fix some of these issues, I missed the opportunity to install them. Now when I go to the system apps updater to check for these updates again, they are not there.

Currently, my gps performance has improved but it is nowhere near the efficiency I got in my r5plus.
I will continue to probe for a solution and avoid any "surgical" solutions such as factory reset or flashing a new rom.

Any suggestions from you guys will be appreciated.
Also, if you are using RN7, kindly test your gps on Google maps or using *#*#6484#*#* to be sure everything is working as expected.

My advice:
(1)if you are using rn7 and your gps signal is working efficiently especially in Google maps, don't change network settings in your sim using *#*#4636#*#* as this might break something else
(2) keep your OS/MIUI and system apps up to date. The updates do actually fix bugs, some of which you may not have come in contact with yet.

I just checked using the dial code and it is working perfectly

lilbest4:
how is Redmi note 7 Pro better than A70?

Redmi note 7 pro have one of the best mid-range camera. A true 48mp Sony camera,not to talk of when it is used with Gcam. The A70 camera does not even come halfway to be honest. The camera review are not nice. The problem with the optical fingerprint of the Samsung a70 even after 2 updates.

Tweaking potential of the redmi note 7 pro
Longer battery
Faster update
Infared Port
Cheaper parts
Better GPS tracking
Better build
Better screen protection
Cheaper
Etc.

The Samsung a70 have a better display, bigger screen display, faster fast charge, etc.

For the others I do not include, I think they should be negligible

mykelshowz:
what's the name please

Sweger v10

IKON360:
IamNegro and Mizik
This is what I did

I have done it already. Thank you

mykelshowz:
old how ddyu change ur nav bars

It is the theme I am using

ErnyyBobo:
I had same problems of Gmail pushing new mail to my notification.. please check your Gmail and confirm if you have up to four labels there??

Like primary, update, forum, social, promotions??

Until I applied some settings before I now get notifications every time.

Open your Gmail app goto settings. Click on your Gmail account you will see inbox category.. open it then untick labels you see there like Social, promotion, update and the rest.

It means your mails will now come into one inbox unlike before.. and you will get notifications immediately..

Please try this and give feedback

Let me check this out and get back to you. Ernnybobo

Thank you. It worked

My Thanks to everyone who assisted me. The problem with the notification of my Gmail was my sync setting. It was set to WiFi only, and I just disabled that.

ErnyyBobo:

I only have primary, social and promotions

It is not a problem of restriction I think. My battery saver is off

CitySect1:
Putting on battery saver turns off your sync which makes it difficult for other applications to push notifications to your phone. use the normal mode and u will see the difference

I deactivated my battery saver and I asked 2 of my siblings to send me texts via Gmail...yet nothing.

IKON360:
Ok I fixed the Gmail not showing notifications. Thanks at Lordchiz and the other wonderful young man that helped.

How did you fix yours?

elantraceey:
Not all though, I receive mine promptly both in the previous one and this one.

Do you know anyway this can be tweaked to work on my device?

genius43:
The Gmail seems like a general problem for RN7 users for now

Oh i see. Thank you and I really appreciate

genius43:
Sorry, I don't use RN7, but you can go to settings>notification and Status bar>

You will see app notification click and see the apps and ensure they are enabled.
You can also enable show notification icons.

I hope this helps

It is enabled. I guess you miss something like this, then I do not get any but I am most particular about my Gmail account.
Yet I never get any notification from my Gmail.

genius43:
I don't know the help you need.

As for GCam, I doubt if there is a GCam port for your device.

Also do you know if your OEM allows enabling of Camera2api?

There should be things you consider before choosing a smartphone.

Do you know the way around notifications settings?. I only get notifications from my WhatsApp. I do not get from my Gmail and other apps.

acekid109:
this can be fixed by setting the app battery saving option to no restriction

How do I do this?

Acekid 109.

I don't know about others but I do not receive notifications at all only on WhatsApp, then seldomly on Facebook. My battery saver is usually on as I am not in a power friendly environment. Could that be the reason or there is another way to do this manually? Clarification will be nice

nurez305:
and what make it better than official whatsapp? I thought the only thing they use it for is whatsapp status or is there another thing to do with it

Lesser restrictions
More features and all.
More contacts can be accessed
Etc

nurez305:
which app is whatsapp TV again?

They use WhatsApp to go business
