Phones consumes more data with mifi? Never noticed that as the consumption is normal for me.


You can look at the redmi note 5 or the mi 8SE.

Note 5 doesnt hv band 28.mi 8se is above my budget.
By consuming data..i mean google play apps update.auto download of whatsapp vids etc...guess there is a workaround..just lazy asf.

Have you given all the necessary permissions to the Google contacts sync app in the app settings? You can also set your battery saver to no restrictions. Then reboot.

Yeah I did, I even gave it all permissions but I couldn't sign in. When I get to the sign in option, the app would just hang there. At a point, I just deleted it.

What app? Once you download Google installer from the mi store, you should get all the necessary Google framework and services. You can then navigate to Google contact sync in your app list.

Maybe server issues. But if you have activated it before, disable it so that you don't get charged unnecessary.

Finally!!! I have become a member of this proud xiaomites,the journey started about 4 weeks ago when i was discussing with someone who got a new mi max 2 to add up to the same one he is using just because it has a cracked screen. I was like who does this and he replied with you don't know what i am enjoying. Instantly i told him as for me i am not buying any China phone again after what Infinix did to me,and he replied; empty barrel makes the loudest noise(referring to what these other products do) and immediately i decode.

For assurance sake i came onto Almighty nairaland for a thread on xiaomi and i found wonderful testimonies that is more than convincing,then i began to follow up while i am gathering the money for the one that caught my eye *REDMI 5* though my pocket sef follow join. grin.
Leading on it was time to chose a seller and i contacted Holuwaxheun even though i have seen testimonies for other sellers a decision that NEVER came with a pinch of regret,all of transaction ensued and brethren in 12 days my bae landed in Lagos and i picked it up this morning with #200 as coke money.

The interesting part is all through this transaction we never had a phone conversation everything was on whatsapp messenger,(i no know how the bros voice be) till this time.

Thanks boss Holuwaxheun,i appreciate.

Did you factory reset your phone?
As it is with China ROM, factory reset is advised.
Then install "Google Installer" from Mi Store...and allow it to run its course... Then locate Google contact sync in your phone.

Have you activated it before? if not, Logout of your mi account and login again. And set up everything without skipping any step. You'll be charged o! So be ready to dash out out ₦50.

You may want to save data by preventing gallery from auto sync. Go to system apps / gallery

Yes

You will not be able to receive calls/ sms if 2g is the only available network mode. If you try to initiate a call, you'll get 'emergency call only' or 'no service' even if it's still displaying 3G.

But with 'wcdma preferred', it will switch you to 2g.

Tested on different phones across all gsm networks

My phone battery is %99 since yesterday afternoon...even though I never on the data...but I've been listening to music all day with the headset and calls...just only %1 deduction.... Greenify application is really doing a good job...download the application and make sure you set it to help you hibernate unuse application...you'll like your phone battery more.... I downloaded the app yesterday afternoon after factory reset and since then...my battery is more than good...
if u are using miui based rom both official and custom believe me greenify na likr bloatware for u... Ya battery neva calibrate hence, dt almost magical drain u never experience
