Sorry about that, factory defects are prevalent with any product. Maybe your unit is one of such.

Next time be sure of the workmanship level of a repairer before handing your device for repairs.


MODIFIED: Just seeing your comment on your power bank with swollen battery, am 90% sure it is the culprit of your phone charging issue

Are you saying it's the power bank or an unregulated charger. Cos the swelling is a sign of unregulated overcharging. I'm pretty sure the power bank can regulate charge output.

Just my thoughts sha

I really don't know why this issue should be trending. If he collected money and didn't give service, it's a different case entirely.

Scam is when someone pays for something and the service provider fails to deliver after receiving money. In this case, money never changed hands.

My experience over 4 years on Xiaomi... Only experienced ads once... Mi 4... Since den i never see ads for my phone maybe because i know wer to turn of ads. I have never seen ads anywhere in phone since mi 4, i turn off all recommendations and ads option.
For upgrades, i never pass up the chance to upgrade... Not in my lifetime... And I've always enjoyed all the updates.
For audio issues ehn... ... I go give Nokia coloud pop for 2k kpere and if u suffer bad audio ehn make i 24.

this your Nokia coloud? My mi capsule with just one working earpiece sounds way better. Currently using both

lovelani:


Thank you sis for this clear and straight forward review . I hope by now , those asking for what a premium device is would understand.
I'm done in this forum as I've gotten answers to what I am here for .

this is the Xiaomi thread, not the redmi note 5 thread. If you need a Xiaomi premium device, Go for mi mix3, mi 8 pro, mi mix 2s etc

acekid109:
it does

I have tried but can't seem to get it to work.. Can you pls help with a working link for MTK6757

CuteMaro:

Sennheiser earphones are great for audio, however you have to manually set up your equalizer.

I use a very cheap earphone and i get quality audio. V4A standard.

Just check the attached image. It might be of help to u.

Manually adjust the equalizer to ur taste.

As for the cut off on balance stuff, i get that too on d Note 6 pro.

Then the adverts, just turn off recommendations on each of the apps and you are good.

wow.. Thanks a lot, will set my equalizer that way.

MY USER EXPERIENCE/OPINION ON THE REDMI NOTE 5
.
After using redmi note 5 for a few days.. Here are my thoughts!
It's a pretty phone (i got the rose gold). The battery backup is amazing. I am a heavy user, yet it takes me through the entire day (on 3g network), and i would still have 25-30% battery left by the time i get home.
.
.
The camera is good also.I love the fact that the front camera has a flash to take great photos at night.
It has some amazing features which makes for an enjoyable user experience.
.
.
Now, to what i want everyone to be aware of (because people just come here, say "I am now a proud owner of xiaomi..." and boom! Off they go, without dropping any review to help prospective buyers decide if it's the pros and cons of the device are what they can live with or not.
.
.
Before anyone comes for me, asking if am expecting flagship features on a $130 device, take a few moments to ponder on all i will point out here. The cons i have noticed are basic features even a 20 dollar phone should have and handles decently, without and hassles.
.
.
1.There are a lot of ads in the phone's system apps.. Themes, wallpaper, fole manager, music app, video app, security etc.It's like MTN, it's everywhere you go on the phone. I had to read up a thread on the miui forum on how to turn off the ads from everywhere it is displayed.
.
.
Now that's really low from xiaomi! I have used devices, from the high end flagships to feature phones, never have i encountered ads in the stock music player or other system apps.Like the phone has already been paid for, so why the ads? Even apps with pro versions gives the user an ad free experience after paying.
.
.
One day xiaomi may roll out an update and you find the option to turn off ads missing, then what next? The user gets stuck with a phone that has ads everywhere.
.
.
2.The audio output when using earphones is beyond poor on my device. This isn't an issue of "change your headphone. I am an audiophile so I don't slack on buying good earphones. As soon as music is turned on, through the speakers or headphones..
.
.

I can observe that there is no clarity. The voice of the singers come off as croaky and muffled,with a lot of noise. I tried my senheisser mx 365 earphone, a langsdom headphone, a sony headphone and lastly zealot sparkle.. It was the same. I went on miui forum, a lot of people were having the same issue even as far back as march.
.
.
The mi audio enhancer/equalizer is of no use. It seems to normalize a bit after you have listened to music with it for a while. Still you can't get that crispy clearness. I recently got a tecno torchlight phone that uses memory card for N3800.
.
.
I transfered some songs there and the audio output was clearer and way better than the xiaomi redmi note 5.That's a big let down because i listen to music daily. I have sent a feedback to xiaomi, and included audio logs report. I doubt if they will ever address that issue.

.
.
I am hoping it's something an update can fix, I am on Miui 10 right now, but i am not even ready to update the device for fear of the unknown.
.
3.The updates rolled out have bugs. Even the "stable versions" are not so stable. You update to a new version.
.
.
You discover your camera functions differently, pictures are unclear, some functions have disappeared, volume is low or your battery drains fast. With the issues relating to updates i read about, i am not even sure i want to update my device to avoid saying "had i known"!
.
.
4.It doesn't display glo network messages fully. When i dial
*127*0# to check data, on gionee m6 and samsung S8,the pop up message from Glo about my data balance is displayed fully. I never experience any issue with that using those phones. On the Redmi note 5 , the message is slashed and just one third of it is displayed with the heading "class zero message".. I run two to three data plans concurrently, glo night plan, weekend plan and normal monthly..
.
.
I don't get to see my balance for about two of them , just the active one shows whoke d remaining is slashed out. I placed my sim on other phones and i got tbe full message, so i know it's a xiaomi issue.
.
5.The stock music player doesn't play .wma files, and the stock video player doesn't play. mkv files
.
.
These have been my observations so far.. It's a pretty sleek phone, battery lasts long and the pictures are pretty decent for the price. The audio clarity issue is a big turn off. I won't be using this phone for long because of that.

There is only one thing I want to comment on here which is the stock music and video player... I have one question though.

Do these stock video and music player app differs with device? Or they are the same once you are running same MIUI versions?

If they are the same, I guess it's your device that has issues.
The reason why I asked is because I play .mkv files flawlessly on my device without no issues. But as for the .WMA files for the stock music player, one thing I have noticed is that the stock music app doesn't display songs that are not having the .mp3 extention with them but that does not mean it won't play if you go to your file manager to play it. One hack I use for songs not having the .mp3 as their default extension is just to rename the music file extension from whatever audio extension they have to .mp3. Another thing is that hope you are aware that most WMA files are protected with one DRM encoder in which without proper Autorization, you can't play them with no other player than the "Windows Media Player". The only thing you can do if you want to play them is to use the " Real Player" converter.

But if the stock music and video players differs the device, then I Can say you win with your point or perhaps experience

please modify your 1st post, it sounded as if the phone was crap whereas your swollen power bank was the culprit.

Ifedith:

Which model of the sennheiser u buy... Cus wetin i dey see for Google dey do my eye one kyn.
And to be certain... The coloud wey i dey offer u so ehn... U go believe na. Ask for here ppl wey i don sell am ... If u hear the beat... 32ohm impedance.

I use Sennheiser MX365.. I siezed it from one of my aje butter friends that can buy headphone and gadgets at ridiculous prices. Maybe i may try d coloud, just that I already have too many earphones and headphones. But i believe it's a software issue, na d updating dey fear me. Make another wahala no enter d phone.

Meaning the one crying foul is even the person meant to pay some money for data used up.

Eeechenmeelee1:
I am surprised no one on this thread noticed the design direction Google took with Android Pie, Google sneaked in some low key iOS type design style and essentially pulled of what MIUI has been trying to do for years. I know because I have AOSP Extended v6 on my redmi 5 plus and I went through the complete circle from miui 9 to 10 to AEX. Anyways it will be interesting to see what Xiaomi will do now as Google is low key trying to make android to look as simple as iOS

Are you implying the MIUI interface ain't simple or what? IMHO MIUI has an infusion of simplicity and functionality.
Barebones Android is boring, am sure you already know that

ProFuhrer:
When Infinix has been adding fast chargers for medium phones.

You guys are misunderstandings one thing here "Fast Chargers" are different from "Quick Chargers" the follow come charger is a "Fast Charger", but the phone supports Quick Charging and Xiaomi did not include Quick Charger probably to cut cost.

try Google music player nd open the equiliser option in other to utilise the full power of snapdragon chipset it never fails,dont know why xiaomi didnt include it in their default music player. However Check it nd give feedback. cheers

saint2ace:



Are you saying it's the power bank or an unregulated charger. Cos the swelling is a sign of unregulated overcharging. I'm pretty sure the power bank can regulate charge output.

Just my thoughts sha

If battery starts swelling then certainly the PB voltage regulation is bound to be inconsistent. At this point it doesn't matter since phone has been fixed already, just be weary of the PB
