I know of launchers that wake a phone up by double tapping, but not making it sleep. I am also curious to know such

Double tap to wake up is a system feature and not controlled by any launcher.

Granting "device admin" authorization to a launcher can give it the ability to lock the device. So I grant this authorisation then set my double tap gesture of the launcher to lock the device.

Note: keyword is lock & not sleep.

One is the full ROM (1.2) and the other is incremental updates. Just do the incremental updates. Also switch to Mexico and update to version 10.3.12 then switch back to Nigeria
Obrigado. For knowledge sake, please how do you know regions that have special features?

It's the same version. Are you on MIUI ROM? Try flashing the full ROM first, maybe u will get the option if you're using MIUI.
MIUI.EU.

Exactly. That's what it does, turns a non-smart TV into a smart TV. It also allows you to cast your phone screen on to the TV. It comes with a wireless keyboard, remote and hdmi cable.

It's really beautiful.
Thank you. Is the keyboard chargeable? And does the android box hav a port for flash drive?

Happy Sunday Xiaomites
I have been monitoring my data usage for a while now, and discovered the major data zapping apps are my whatsapp and ucbrowser. For whatsapp, media is not on auto download, the culprit is my "status" and my terrific 4f network isn't helping matters. You would hav watched a status before you realise it's a mumu video but befit you can "next" it, the video don buffer finish.... Mb don go. Within 5mins, 100mb fit Don go. So I think I know how to handle that one.... Will be avoiding videos... Only text and pix now... While avoiding those ones that their timelines are like beads..... Too many pix
About uc browser, I only check nairaland on it and many a times spend time on threads without pix or less pix, yet after loading like 10 threads, 30mb would have gone. Image quality is on low, and ads blocker has been enabled long ago, I stil can't comprehend the reason for the data zap.
I tried opera mini in the early hours of today and spent almost 1hr there even in pages with many pix, I was amazed the data consumed is not much. The thing is.... I enjoy accessing nairaland on uc browser than on opera mini and the newer versions of opera mini don't have memory (when you launch the browser after using it in a while it reloads the pages, is does start from where you left off). Sometimes, you outrightly lose the page you were currently on esp if you have several tabs open cos that current page will be on "home" page.
Is there a setting I am missing on my ucbrowser or does anyone know a version that consumers lesser data?

Guys, I noticed that my phone battery doesn't last any longer. It's Redmi Note 4 and I'm interested in getting information on how to buy and change the phone battery.

Thanks

It is not a special feature persay just that Mexico was among those that got the update first. As for special features apart from font for example India no other big deal. If you follow Mi Community (Formerly MIUI Forum) you would be getting some of these infos

WhatsApp Status is the culprit. Ucbrowser is still learning compared to Chrome in data consumption

If you're having so much issues with Gmail sync, just export your contact to your memory and import it to your yahoo mail, and make your mail the default contact storage.
I'm believing you're on Chinese ROM.
I'm using chinese rom on K20 Pro, no SD card slot.
Oga sir, those people never buzz me o. (I hope you understand) Not on whatsapp yet becos of this contacts matter.

Do you have sync turned on and did you sign into your Google account from settings>sync>add account?
I did. I have downloaded my contacts from Google in .csv format, trying to see if I could convert .csv to .vcf so I can import my google contacts.
I'm using K20 Pro.

So no remedy for this uc browser? Cos the 66mb in that screenshot, I didn't download a single file and the fee uploads I did were the pix uploaded to this thread. That was all. And it was only this thread I was surfing with the 66mb. Somethingbrrally is wrong somewhere
