Lol... Nothing spoil Sha... I always tell my one of my guy sef, he loves to hype his Gionee M series.
.
Lol, i used oukitel k6000 plus and my brother, I hear am. The phone must be switched off after charging unless you won't recieve calls. You can use it to iron your clothes sef. The overheating can cause global warming. And the battery life though good isn't as I expected. I decided that wasn't a phone for me. I mistakenly saw mi max on jumia and in getting to know it, I found out it has an improved version, mi max 2. This was going to be my first Mi phone. After using the phone, my life became illuminated. All I wanted was a phone that's warm on heavy usage but xiaomi gave me a phone that remained cool no matter my heavy use.
.
I said am using gionee and I regret buying it. Those comparing tecno, umidigi, infinix, with this brand need Holy Spirit intervention. It will give you what Samsung will give you and halve the price with better camera and better battery juice. If a brand can conquer India that's over 1 billion people within 2 years, then it's not just hype but excellence inclusive..
.
I have bought over 10 xiaomi devices for friends and family. All I get are good and wonderful report.
.
Don't worry, doubters go believe when they use one.
.
By the way

N50K FOR MY GIONEE M7 POWER

The phone is worth N100k now oo cheesy

Holla if you are interested..

You and any other persons that have this and other similar issues can buzz me if you want your device returned to Xiaomi after sales for assessment and subsequent repairs, you'll bear the shipping costs plus the repair cost if it is found out to be user's damage, otherwise repair is free. A certificate of the assessment will be given prior to repair to make you decide

Below is an example of such case.
Customer bought note 5 4/64gb. After 4 days, he called to say screen has stopped responding to touches. I retrieved the phone from him and refunded him. I sent the phone back to xiaomi after sales unit, below is the assessment report. Phone has had contact with water before. When I retrieved it, it was just the screen not touching, but the phone, on reaching China, could not be powered on again, obviously due to continuous moisture effect while in transit
To pay ¥350 for repairs.
There are instances when some buyers chickened out of having their items returned for assessment by xiaomi on being told dt factory faults will be repaired for free but they'll have to pay if buyer's damage.

Point of reference is that, people will flay the brand for such short duration of usage B4 developing fault, oblivious of the fact that even a new born baby exposed to harsh conditions will "develop faults", if not die. kiss
.
Can this be done even though I bought the phone from jumia? And could you give me an estimate cost of the shipping in Naira (tro and fro) so I can bear in mind?
.
Will repairing the phone cost as much as buying a new cell from your previous experiences?
.
Thanks for your concern..

Hmmm... I've sha never faced such issue, this isn't cool. Did you try reverting back to the previous working MIUI version?
.
Yes I did. It was the same issue. I almost gave up on xiaomi after it. I bought a gionee m7 and I was convinced leaving xiaomi was a mistake..

Bootloader locked or unlocked?

It's been unlocked. Them don flash many roms on it. The phone's issue never improved. I'm beginning to believe it could be a hardware issue but no one agrees with that.

Once I get a solution I will make it known here..

I did that. Everything was in order. I did everything within my power and I didn't find a solution. I have given it to engineers at Callus Miller in Port Harcourt. It's been a month with them and they hadn't found a solution.

Are you sure it's not from mtn? Put a different network sim and see if you can. If you can, then you have to contact mtn and if you can't, then it maybe from the cell..

I'm seeing some insane flash sales on Aliexpress this morning, but most of the Xiaomi products listed can't be shipped to Nigeria. But I saw an IPhone X that can be shipped to Nigeria via EMS. How recommendable is that EMS?
.
Don't buy Samsung, iPhone phones on aliexpress. It's either refurbished or its fake. There is 10% chance you can get original though but that is not a risk Worth taking. Use jumia to buy Samsung and apple phones..

Okay,
@ Noobody Abeg release a statement regarding how many Poco F1 sold compared to Mi 8, Note4, Note 5
..
We are talking of poco which you dispise. Why not make known what was or were said about the other phones and compare them with what is said about poco?
.
The biggest phone sellers in the Indian market said at the stated date that poco has been their biggest and fastest flagship sale, why not argue with them?
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by PaulThor: 12:46am On Nov 11, 2018
Dam5reey:
Don't follow blindly, Wait for Fact Xioami produced the phone and not until unbox therapy..
..
Unbox therapy only confirmed what poco India said. Pocof1 had the biggest and fastest flagship sales ever in India.. That one cannot be argued. From the money made, you can calculate the amount of cells sold..

Poco F1, is like running Snapdragon 845 in a Tecno phone.. grin

S7, is currently selling at the same price you will buy Poco..

S7, has all feature you need in a 2018 phone..
Camera wider aperture 1.7 compared to 1.9, OIS present
Super AMOLED display, with 2k resolution.
Premium build - Front and back Glass, IP68 rating, Compared to plastic toy on Poco.
Fast Charging, Wireless charging..

He was actually right.. wink

I will go with the poco over the s7 anytime..

See amazon comparison

There are people you can tag that will even take up the matter for.

This custom blah blah is a case everywhere not just Nigeria. The only issue with Nigeria own be say its actually going into individual pockets. Exactly why you have to pay cash instead of official bank accounts..

It's not a fair fight but you knew that. No fowl play or information withheld.

Lots of comparison between Pocophone and iPhone X not because of price or specs. Just for the sake of comparison..... coz people want to know.

If you don't understand this one that is simple then that means you cannot understand the need for $1000 vs $100 smartphone videos.
.
Pocophone vs iPhone x?

Im sure that must be on YouTube.
I know you must have forgotten you said YouTube was a place for unbiased review.. grin grin

Rushing to invalidate what is obvious.

I find it weird that speed tests are globally acceptable between 3GB RAM iPhones or Google Pixel(4GB RAM) and Samsung phones with twice the RAM/Storage but somehow it's an atrocity when a Nigerian does it. Speed test isn't just about RAM/Storage for one and speed tests aren't only for phones with identical specs.
..
.
Nigerian wetin?
.
Honor note 10 was compared with mi max 3. The honor note 10 beat the hell out of the mi max 3 but when you bring in the value for the price, the mi max 3 still won.
..
Comparing a 4gb/64gb vs 3gb/32gb android devices as if they are same is bias.
.
We all know the prices of 3gb/4gb phones are different. And not that they even run on same processor. One is kirin, the other is snapdragon. It would have been a clear fight between the two if the rams/roms were balanced, so we don't have anything to talk about.

Me na huawei fan. I'm even planning to buy either the honor 8x max or max 3
