My phone (Xiaomi A1) has band 40 but I don't get reception when I insert my swift sim card into it, is there something I need to do for it to work?

Create a new APN using this and enjoy

Swift Network Nigeria(4G/LTE)

Profile Name: swift internet(this can be anything)
APN: lte.swiftng.com
Access Number: *99#

On ur phone you might not have access number, so just skip that. You can also read up more here:

Does anyone have an idea if Swift works on 4G phones? Will appreciate a response ASAP

If your phone has band 40 (which it does, thanks to cris83 for confirming) all you have to do is create a manual APN using the settings below. choose your swift sim as the prefered internet sim and you're good to go.

I didn't recommend the RN7 because it would soon be two generations old, the RN7 Pro because it has no International model. No hard feelings.

None taken boss, quite understandable.

genius43:
RN8, Mi A3 and RN8 Pro

No RN7 and RN7 pro in Ur recommendations? These phones should be in the league of legends with the RN5 and RN4

My umidigi power is 4 months with me now, I want to upgrade is to power 3 or F1 F2.. I want to swap, anyone with ideas on how to Go about this?.

I don't believe swap deals work on this part of town, best and fastest way would be to sell this off and buy the phone of choice.

My 2 kobo.

Please how do I install this famous gcam on my new mi 9t, thank you

On mi 9t u don't need it. I prefer stock camera to gcam. That's my opinion sha

r1weeks with the f2
My. Honest review.
As we all know umidigi has never disappoint us when it comes to aesthetic. The build and the general design is sturdy and beautiful. I got the Phantom blue my friend got the midnight black but I love ❤ my blue
Ram: the 6gb ram isn't a hoax I can attest to that. I can run all social media apps concurrently without any of them closing:p I've opened pubg and call of duty mobile and played them intermittently without them closing. One last thing the ram is well optimized.

Processor: the heilo p70 on the F2 is a deal breaker, having use the F1 with heilo p60 I can authoritatively say that the P70 is way better than the f2. Apps open fast and process at a fast pace.

Storage: I don't know if you guys are aware of the Ufs 2.1 storage on the f2? Yes that means you can receive heavy files at a faster speed. the enormous 128gb is something I don't know how I'll use I quickly sold my 64gb sd card cuz I don't have use for it again.

Battery �: oh no the f2 battery � is enough and good for the phone. The battery � can last up to 10hrs on Heavy usage and 24hrs if on regular use cuz it takes time before the battery � drop a percent.

Display: the full Hd display on the F2 is pretty impressive and crisp.

Finger print: the fingerprint scanner is better than all the previous umidigi phones I've used. It can read your finger 4 in 5 attempts. Impressive

Camera: when i unboxed the phone the first I checked was the camera cuz I wasn't impressed with what I was hearing and seeing on youtube unboxing videos.
The stock camera is doing very fine especially when you turn on the HDR and the selfie camera on the stock camera is very sharp and crisp.
Then Gcam came and revolutionized the whole experience. I can categorically tell you that you can buy the f2 for it camera prowess… yes the F2 camera sensor is a true Samsung sensor that's on par with the RN8PRO. I've wowed my friends and even iphone users with the camera � of the f2. Just get the right gcam and config and you're open to good mobile photography.
See links for some shots I took Day and night .

My issues with the f2: slow charging, it takes up to 3hrs from 1 to 100 the F1 charges faster than the f2 I don't know why I believed this can be fixed via OTA.
Microphone: the microphone � isn't very sharp. You can converse well with it when you are on call with the phone on your ear but the moment you put the phone down a bit far from you, you'll have to shout before someone could hear you. Reason why I got the Upods and I'm satisfied.
The speaker � is excessively loud at the lowest volume you can still hear the sound � but It has been corrected via Mtk engineering tools thanks to the Umidigi community.
Thanks to oga Lexusgs430 for introducing umidigi to us and a very big shout out to baba Saint2ace

Wonderful review, every department was touched and critiqued. Well done brotherly.

U don take style dey tempt me oh. I might just try the F2

mank1234:
Exactly, a run through of his past post in other threads reveals his true identity.

Smart man

Lexusgs430:
The camera sensors on the Umidigi Power 3, seems more optimised (according to YT reviews) ........

The only difference is aesthetics in design + bigger rom......

I prefer the power 3, would simply use cloud services, to augment the storage aspect......

Opinions differ . I personally don't like the camera placement on the power 3

I hail all the guys here, but i think its also easy to identify a troll, they huff they puff but can't blow out anything. My word of advise "don't feed the troll". Let's just ignore certain comments and keep the thread moving.

Thank you all for the great information and knowledge shared here. Gracias

dunsin125:
Okay, which one is better between Power 3 and F2

I think the F2 is better than the power 3, helio P70 vs helio P60 on the power 3, then a bigger rom.

Then even though they have the same camera sensor the pictures will come out better on the F2 cos of better software processing of the pictures.

Then for those talking about gcam on MTK devices, it might work for lesser MTK devices but u will only notice it when they have good processors like the helio P60, P70 and above.

Just my opinion

cris83:
See this Swift network. I don't know what is wrong with their brains. I saw this from the twitter page. Seems they have reverted back to the free browsing at night on a daily basis. I dey suspect some wuruwuru somewhere. What about other swift merit promo users here. The past two nights, I have been downloading as usual at the normal time no deduction.

Got a mail to confirm this too, I guess someone finally talked some sense into their head, cos they would have lost almost 40% of their customers.

Good for them sha. Nice one swift network

I need dedicated SD Card slot for my 100GB of music. Even disappointed that my OnePlus 7 Pro 8/256 is already halfway full.

Why not do an OTG flash, that way you only use it when u need it....

Thanks. I got this link but I don't understand how things work around there. I would appreciate some help.

That's the thread, start a few pages to the end and check for offers, though majority are foreign used but extremely clean. TLC means total landing cost, AIN means already in Nigeria.

Choose the one that suits you but u can ask for people to verify a seller before making payments.

All the best.

Crazeworld:
Good afternoon bosses. I need a new laptop and my budget is 130,000 Naira. What laptop would you recommend based on the following;

Battery life
RAM
Ability to perform high task like graphics designing
Durability.

What store would you recommend on AliExpress? Kindly help a brother. Thanks

Carmal90:
Check for OfferUp thread on nairaland business section..
You will see what you need.

This is the best suggestion for anyone out there who wants to get a laptop, but make sure u verify the seller before making payments.

cris83:
My brother, thanks for the correction. This new development dey pain ooh. I called customer care just to clarify and na true true. To upgrade to the next desired plan cant be done from the usual account profile as they will do it for you

They sent me an email and it was indeed painful. And yes changing of plan is always done by customer care, u either call or send an email.

Truly sad

cris83:
None. Even spectranet free night is 1am to 7am and strictly weekends. Speeds get throttled when a data cap is reached to 512kb which swift doesn't do, at least to my knowledge...

Most of Ur points are correct but the free night browsing is everyday and the throttle is after using 100GB for the month, but as duly noted, Swift offers better service but that increase... Hmmmmm

khattab008:
I don't think there's an alternative from other ISPs, the merit plan was the cheapest truly unlimited plan.

Spectranet has an option, not as cheap with a small marginal increase but an option all the same

cris83:
Swift merit promo free night browsing daily is gone. New plans restrict browsing to weekends alone. Chai

Byebye to swift, this is one of the plans that kept their customers loyal to them. Hope they thought these through.
Wishing them the best, next network pls. Who knows an alternative?

khalidx:
how is their subscription like??
Cuz Airtel is giving me 17GB for 3k

New SIM?

macbeyland:
Good evening house.

Pls i understand that part of the aim of this forum is to ensure the safety of buyers and sellers on the xiaomi thread.

We know that over the years, buyers have been free to use this forum as a means of calling out sellers when they have deals gone awry,.
I hope that sellers too will be given the same courtesy because I have some buyers whom I will soon be calling out for items bought and they have refused to pay despite my best effort.

One of them is particularly very painful given my previous engagements with that person.

I will be making update soon.

Are you kidding me? Na wa oh, pls avail us the info let's know the wolves amongst us....

The Redmi Note 8 Pro support the following bands

LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

We don't have 20 one of MTN bands and 28 one of Glo bands in redmi note 8 pro

It has band 28 for Glo

dustmalik:
If you have met all the conditions I mentioned on my previous post and your device signal type isn't still showing 4G+, that doesn't necessarily mean that carrier aggregation is not happening on your device. It's just that some carriers don't force implement it to show 4G+ on all devices. To be sure, download an app called NetMonster from Playstore, then launch it. Now, check the app to be sure. See below screenshot for reference

Just downloaded, like I said before it works with MTN but not with Glo.

Find screenshots attached.

Themaths:
The other 4G band glo added to their 4G has not been unlocked everywhere...they are rolling it out gently. For now, enjoy 4G sir.

I stay close to UNILAG and my area was amongst the first in Lagos to get band 3 after it was launched in Ibadan.

And I can tell u that I have never gotten 4G+, maybe if u tell me Ur location I might stroll down there just to experience it, but I can confidently say it's not available in Glo.
