Yeah right. hope I've gotten the attention I needed. No one owes another a thing, I noticed you people don't like it when someone mentions an issue with a xiaomi device. Make Una Continue, this thread go soon cast.

i really dont understand people on cyberspace really,people should know that:

first off: how can anybody reply with a solution when they haven't experienced the said problem before or when they dont have a solution? the complain on opera, i have also being experiencing such with my opera mini recently,and have being looking for ways to solve it myself,but no solutions yet but i will keep looking for solution.

secondly: people here need to know, nobody on here is employed(that am aware of) directly to xiaomi company,we all are end users trying to help eachother out,so dont feel obligated to get a reply everytime,if nobody can solve your problem here.

thirdly: all of us gat our own private lifes and hustles,and you cant expect everyone to be glued online 24/7 ,na xiaomi customer service be this?

personally have being a ghost reader up till last month,that i decided to help once awhile in cases i could be of help, RN7 is the first xiaomi product i will use too, but i read and knew alot of things about MIUI,xiaomi phones even before laying my hands on one.

my talk done dey much,its cool to ask questions but please lets be civilized about it, we aint in the stone age, we are humans and everyone needs respect in any sphere of life(online or offline),abuse,insults, and curses are not necessary at all.

please lets all be guided!!! peace out

I don't even use here to solve my problems. I use YouTube. If YouTube fails then I use miui forums before coming here.. And when I don't get my answers, I don't descend and insult people over that. In fact here has helped me more in topics unrelated with xiaomi.. Cos me no dey for all the bootloader, gcam stuffs..

I posted this yesterday with pictures and Everybody looked the other way, if it's to praise this device to high heavens now you will see 200 likes. They'll say, yeah, it's better than Samsung S10. Xiaomi rocks bla bla bla, Value for money etc. But here is the revered device having an Issue and the so called people marketing this device will not see it now. Thunder Fire anybody that Cajoled me to get this device. It shall never be well with you and your family. Also all those that see no faults in Xiaomi devices, it shall never be well with you.

Because of phone, you are saying it shall not be well with people? To me that's too harsh and uncultured. Why not throw your phone inside the river to show how angry and frustrated you are..

You're a fool! A big one!

From my write-up..I never mentioned that Note 7pro is a thrash! It's Stull going to be my second phone if I get a new phone.

I dumped tecno and infinix since 2016.

I like xiaomi, does that mean I shouldn't ask for people's suggestions again ?


You people are already acting like TECNO users

Any phone that isn't xiaomi these days are rootlessly bashed. That aside.. Why not try the K series? They might be able to handle your humongous WhatsApp contacts..

Evening all.

I need guidance.

I ordered 2 tempered glasses from aliexpress (from the same store) on the 5th of June, and they were shipped some days later, together.

Fortunately, I got a call to pick "them" up today.

After opening the pack they were kept in, I saw only one of the glasses.

I've chatted the seller, he asked for picture confirmation.

Now the issue is.....

Do I give confirmation for the delivery of one of the glasses and, if all goes awry and he doesn't give a reasonable response, do I open dispute?
.
Did you order from different stores or the same store? If its from the same store. Snap the glass you have. If you still have the package also snap it and send to seller..
.
But if you bought from different stores, then they won't come the same day...

Oga what are you even saying ,most phones you are buying do you know where they produced,i have been using RN5 for over 6months now and am loving,and how is the brand over prized?an infinix,tecno or Samsung with the same or less specs will cost much more,just check Samsung A70 or A50 with less specs and see their prices compared to RN7,Or infinix zero 6 with lesser specs and see its prizing
.
Samsung A series are good. Good you check their specs so your arguments can be more logical.. I use A30 and its a wonder to behold..

Bros, go ahead and order. I have been using the fone for some days now and trust me i did so much research before i eventually settled for it. Its really worth the hype. The call volume is okay except maybe you are already used to some fones that have extremely loud call volume.
For example, a particular Infinix has extremely loud call volume to the extent that people around can clearly hear the conversation. If you are already used to that, then u may feel the call volume on the Redmi 7 is low but with time you will get used to it. The call volume has been okay for me.
Another thing u may see online is complaints about the display in sunlight. Plz the display is very okay and u can use your fone comfortably outdoors. The battery life is also impressive. Fingerprint sensor is sooooo fast and very very very responsive.

* 1 camera bump ring with glass.
All for #2,500 with free shipping.

There's no way the fifth largest phone company in the world can be a scam. I think you are too dumb to see that. If you were one of the owners of the samsung note series that turned bombs, what would you have said?

Hmmmm... Nothing is truly perfect, not even RN7. So sorry you became a victim of human imperfections. Its really sad xiaomi could launch their phones here with poor customer care. Really really sad. I know how my max 2s got spoilt under 2 years. I'm unlucky i guess. You can contact a lawyer who might use legal means to excalate the issue. They shouldn't have blocked you.. That alone is an offense xiaomi will do anything to erase. Make sure you don't just ask for a new phone, ask for compensation too. You may end up getting a Mi9t.

The truth is that this guy has inferiority complex. That's why his friend could just convince him that X6 is better than a whole redmi note 7. If I was using a note 7, and someone with an Infinix s4 would laugh at me calling me chinko user and would just smile because the things my Note 7 does, urs can't even do it in its dreams. Imagine someone buying a low tier phone over a high one because of brand name cheesy grin As if Tecno Infinix and Itel aren't Chinese phones.
.
Do you know how much I have been challenged by my colleagues? First I praise their tecno and infinix them. I also praise their camera until when opportunity comes, they will use their mouths confess and ask me to transfer them the pics. Are you buying phones for yourself or for your friends? I mean these are issues we as a people should address. When you want something, buy because you love it and not to impress others. Me self feel uncomfortable when people hype my phones unless I plan on reselling and then I do the hype myself..

Since you all wanted me to point out obvious fact for all you, I was hoping you would all figure yourself but I'm disappointed

This was the reason I said X6 was better than Note 7 is

- In Nigeria Nokia is a far better known brand to Xiaomi, I've been using Xiaomi now for close 8 months and I can tell you one of the bad side of using the phone is being tagged as chinko user. One of the main reason people people prefer to use a low quality iPhone to Android. Brand name is very important.


- Nokia X6 supports the almighty very useful Glo 4G which Xiaomi does not

- Nokia X6 is more affordable

- And with its affordability still provides competition to Note 7 that is more expensive

- Nokia X6 has superior camera

- X6 is very easy to fix when it get broken unlike Xiaomi

- Don't want to talk about the fact that you get 6gb ram and 64gb for 55k that's a steal for that price no phone I can think of in that price range comes close not even Note 5ai

I will still repeat my statement "In some aspect Note 7 is better, in some aspect Nokia 5 is go"
.
Go and buy the x6. At times taste and style or what is considered best is with the eyes of the beholder. If you have found x6 better, then ask for an exchange.. By the way, some people still prefer Nokia 3310 and of course, they have their reasons..
.
Because the more you try to prove yourself, the more your evidences work against you...

Na so, I can attest to the fact that you took your time before getting the device. At least I dey here that time. The uncalled hate for RN7 by some people na him go make me buy mine by September God willing.

Make I dey manage my Redmi 6A for now.

When Ewu-Onye Ara see say people no dey give am attention again, he go leave na.
.
Fact is some people feel inferior with what they have. Give them iPhone, their friends will convince them that samsung is better. Give them nokia, their friends will convince them tecno is best. And when that happens they look for who to blame.
.
Before I bought my a30, I damned all consequences and be it good or bad, I blamed only but myself..
.
How can someone keep blaming the thread for making him/her buy a phone that is less better than his/her friends? I mean not to insult but some lads genuinely need psychologists..
