on full bar...MTN has won me over...

MTN is a criminal organisation assisted by a very corrupt society like Nigeria.. we celebrate 4G in less than ten select communities in Nigeria out of thousands and millions of communities.... this is nothing but scam and fraud.

I loaded MTN 3.5G data since October 1st and till now I have not been able to use 500MB! yet I have exhausted Airtel 5G n reloaded 10G on Airtel.. thanks Airtel with Airtel You don't need any fraudulent 4G to surf and download effectively!

yes...send 4G to 131 and you'd get a reply stating if your device is compatible and if your SIM has been upgraded...if you get green lights on both ends then FAM turn on that LTE and blaze off to Uranus

so you feel that all of us live in areas where there's 4G connectivity?
or that I have no right to express my ongoing experiences with MTN data services...as shown in the screenshot?
I will not tolerate such impetuousness from you or anyone else.

FYI check how we have been relating on this thread before your outburst...

hahahahaha the beauty about xiaomi is that you dont need special skills to tweek your phone. Just go to en.miui.com and you have all you need. There are two type of 4 main types of xiaomi roms.

These are
Chines stable rom
Chines developers rom
Global stable rom
Global developers rom

I prefere the global developers rom. Its all in english
Though the chines roms gets updated faster but you have to deal with chines specific apps and there is no google apps n stores installed by default. Though there are tutorials on how to get them on your chines rom

But i will advice everyone to use the global developers rom

All you need to do is

1 Download the latest MIUI ROM for your device from http://en.miui.com/download.html

2 Connect your device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable, and copy the ROM file downloaded in Step 1 into the folder ‘downloaded_rom’ in the internal storage of your device.

NOTE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD USING YOUR PHONE AS WELL N USING FILE EXPLORER TO MOVE THE ROM TO ‘downloaded_rom’

3 Launch ‘Updater' app on your device：
MIUI 6：Click the ‘…’ icon at the top-right corner, select ‘Choose update package’, and choose the ROM file you’ve put in ‘downloaded_rom’ in Step 2.

Press the Menu button, select ‘Choose update package’, and choose the ROM file you’ve put in ‘downloaded_rom’ in Step 2.

After choosing the right ROM file, your device will begin upgrading. Your device should automatically boot to the new version when the update is completed.

Its simple and advisable. Xiaomi allows its devices to be rooted

My mi4 is simple, no finger scanner but i enjoy the infrared remote.

I use it to control AC, cd player, tv, rechargeable fan and its cool. My remove is busy gathering dust.

Hello, i think if ure rooted and you use the updater app to update yr phone, it might get bricked. i read it in miui forum

sorry bro. i get update right from the updater app on my phone. why do i need root? you should always unroot the device before update, switch to developers rom and you wouldnt regret it

I have heard cases of users who unroot before update, but their phone stil got bricked, its scary. Developer roms are great but not free from bugs. I prefer the gobal rom.

Are you rooted? If yes what are the ways you updated without being stuck on bootloop.(i hate updating with Mi flash) Am asking because i don't currently use a miui phone, planning on getting the redmi 2 soon, although i have used redmi 1.

May I ask, why do you want to root? I know it's your phone and you can choose to do what you want with it.

How much can I get Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime?

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 11:31pm On Oct 15, 2016

For those planning on getting the redmi 2,unless you are on a budget, why not get the redmi 3?

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 11:32pm On Oct 15, 2016

Around 50k, for the 2gig ram, 16gig rom version.

I actually updated my rooted phone from miui 7 to miui 8 through the updater app. I only lost root privilege after the update. Since most of the apps I had bought while rooted still works even after losing root access, I see no reason to root for now. After switching to developer rom, I think custom roms( its a major reason for rooting) look useless to me for now.

most of what you typed are just fears. I am not rooted but developer rom on miui are quite stable. As a matter of fact when u are on it you do not need root. Most of what i need root for are already installed. I use a MI4 n its been working great. I have never encountered a boot loop. I will advice you have a copy of the rom on your SD, that way you could easily flash it from recovery when ever you mess things up

Check Initialize, Elijahdre, or kulimart. I think Initialize is cheaper.

Of course yes, its a very capable device. If not that I consider 5 inch small, would have grabbed it long ago. For memory, would rather sacrifice 1 sim.
