Samiceman:
Thanks alot. Have you gotten anything from aliexpress before? i have like a ton of questions

Go ahead; a lot of people here have

Samiceman:
Guys, i am finding it difficult to fund my alipocket, i keep getting "payment unsuccessful" using a Stanbic Mastercard.

Stanbic doesn't allow dollar payments.
Use
Access (preferred cos of $200 limit)
Or UBA, GTB FCMB..... all $100 limit

Richiy:
Thank you very much for your response. Which of the banks have 200 dollars monthly limit, because I might need to open a new account. Also, how long will it take to get to me in Abuja?

Access Bank offers $200
All others have $100 limit

Some of their (Access Bank) branches in Abuja have instant ATM..... Open your account and pick up ATM same day.

Cool features/tricks I found on my rn3 SE
1. Swipe from "home" to "back/return" changes the phone to one-handed operation (reduces the screen size so that you can easily use the phone with one hand).
"Home" to "back" or "home" to "recently used" takes the screen either to the right or left.


2. Turn on the Front camera, and you'll get age estimate and gender of the person taking the selfie.


Add more you've seen/used

I so so love the fact that they offer Qualcomm variants of most of their phones... That takes away the "China-ness" of their products.

Got my rn3 SE case/glass today.
Took over a month
But everything fits perfectly well.

How I wish more Xiaomi phones support all 4G networks in Naija.
For now, seems rn3 SE is the only in that category

[quote author=fibonacci2526 post=52483005][/quote]Wetin be SOT?

I sure get more 8hrs....Rn3 SE

bily:
How is your phone. Hope you're enjoying it.

So far, how is the battery life? All day, 2 days?

Is both sim supporting 4g or just sim 1?

Battery life not so great.... Though I stream a lot.(again too it could be the upgrade)

Both Sims support 4G

Dam5reey:
The only downside is IR blaster... Still awaiting the launch of new phone from Xiaomi.. mi 5s plus is bigger with IR blaster..

IR blaster (aka, remote control) and finger print is almost a standard with most Xiaomi phones, mid-range to high-end

Na so so Xiaomi I dey see for Antutu high marks..
<... This should help those looking for high-end Xiaomi>

Even my beloved rn3 SE scored 74,185

Is this a better option?

No problem mistake already made.

The post office will still notify you when your item arrives;
Else, check on them when the tracking information shows "Arrival at processing centre. (Country code: NG)"

In all, you're safe with Aliexpress...... Either you get your product or you get a refund.

GrandMufti:
Bro did you order a casing? I heard the special edition casing is difficult to get as the phone is slightly longer than the rn3 pro

There are casings/glass in Aliexpress for the phone; add "Special Edition" in your search query.

I ordered them from different stores...... Taking ages to arrive.

For the meantime, I visited a phone store in my hood for something to use temporarily.

Does Aliexpress Standard Shipping tracking track down to Nigeria.
If so, which site do you use to track pls?

Of all free shipping methods, Aliexpress Standard Shipping is most of the time the fastest.
Tracking info is right under your order details

kenny2osh:
Please what's the equivalent of the 100usd to Naira??

Naira is between 320 -- 325 per dollar across those banks.

$100=N32,500

emmohh:
No.. Just use any atm card

No, not any ATM card.

GTB, UBA (limit of $100 dollar per month) or ACCESS bank ($200 dollar limit)

GrandMufti:
I've searched miui forum for that your 8.1.1.0. It seems it has been pulled down. Read comment #21 from the link below

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=431448&extra=&page=1&mobile=2

@ONJ did you update via OTA?

Yes, updated with the Glo SIM directly from the phone

Glo speed remains the same but the MTN is way better

Dank1u:
Thanks, please can you guide me on the process of downgrading,

Happy new year in advance

Bro don't bother downgrading, I really think location is the issue here....

Just upgraded mine to v. 8.0.5.0 (latest stable ROM) and I'm still getting Glo 4G

GrandMufti:
His rom is 7.3.7.0. Would it be convenient for you to downgrade to this rom?

Came out-of-the-box with phone.

Did yours come with something different?

Stormyweather:
thanks alot mehn. whats the camera and battery life like? does any of their phones come with air gestures?. also what of this redmi 4 pro?

Battery, 4100mah.
Camera, 16mp/5mp

Don't know about the air gesture, but at least it has finger print.

Don't know about the Redmi note 4 pro.... Check online

Stormyweather:

You can add about 5k and get Redmi note 3 Special Edition
Qualcomm 650
16MP
3GB/32GB, supports memory card up to 128gb
Supports All the 4G networks in the country
Remote control (for your other gadgets)

GrandMufti:
Glo 4G

Yes, Glo 4G

quivah:
I saw 4G, or is it Photoshop?

Not at all.
It is the Redmi note 3 Special Edition.... 4G capable.... Using it on Glo

The remote control.....

GrandMufti:
@ONJ sir any updates for us?

Lol.
Just rocking the phone.
But I noticed the sim 2 slot is tinier; I'll need to swap my MTN for 4G sim

GrandMufti:
Amazing. What's your location?

I believe it's location, confirm if another phone in the same place picks up Glo 4G signal

Abuja

Damoxy:
oNj can we chat on whatsapp?

Alright, leave your digit
