Hydronium:
I have an MTN sim which i've tried. Perhaps i need a 4G sim.

Upgrade the sim to 4G and get 4GB free for 1 week.

Gptech:
Why not get something like this? Earpieces with 3.5mm jack are still the best to deliver great performance to price ratio, plus they are the most versatile.

Personally, I won't advise my enemy to use the two ports of this kinda setup simultaneously. If power surge occur nko?
Na burnt brain be next thing ooo!

Except Powerbank charging sha! Even at that, I still don't feel it is totally safe.

Hydronium:
I live in Akure, so apparently poor, if any, 4G coverage. But I have 4G glo, airtel and etisalat Sims, all of which I've tried on the tab to no avail. It recognises that there's a 4G sim in it, but it shows no network coverage until I'm connected to wifi.

MTN 4G is available in Akure. Signal should be okay in popular locations.

shosky1794:
It's the other way round for me

You use MiUi 10 on Note 4 too?

acekid109:
miui 10 on note 4 doesn't play nice, xiaomi nuked it right from the beta releases then, not sure they ever fixed it. It works quite well in custom roms though

I am just hooked on MiUi, even though I use a custom rom "RevOS" it is still MiUi based. Until I upgrade to an higher model, gcam will have to rest.

lamidiinjury:
oya Gptech and Scot... Bros Biko share me the link to note 4 gcam

Sorry, ever since I updated to MiUi 10 I haven't been able to get Gcam working. Just couldn't sacrifice MiUi 10 for Gcam.
Oga Gptech should be able to give you link to a stable one.

IKON360:
ADM Pro is better than UC browser for downloading

Switched to IDM since I noticed ADM sometimes refuses to resume downloads that are originally labelled "resumable" this has resulted in wasted data on many occasions.

Based on my experience on both, IDM is way better and polished than ADM. It can also download torrent files , though I haven't tried that feature yet.

I know, was avoiding a ban when it comes to computer issues.

But right now I think the new HDMI 2.1 offers more than the Type C in terms of frequency & resolution

Not exactly and HDMI even has a newer standard 2.2. One thing for sure is that USB Type C/Thunderbolt is the most versatile and the future of ports on Laptops.

genius43:
Same uses as a normal usb port, just that it is faster

Damritoh:
Thanks Boss

The USB Type C port on most latest laptops are not just faster but also embedded with many functions especially when it is a Thunderbolt port.

The Thunderbolt port can serve and not limited to the following:
1. Traditional connections of external devices like phones, tablets, external storage etc. at the highest transfer rate better than previous USB standards.
2. Additional port for power input for the laptop
3. Connect external GPU to the laptop
4. Connect to external display at the highest frequency and frame rate possible. More powerful than HDMI and DisplayPort.

Importantly, the Type C port when fully implemented (i.e Thunderbolt) is like a swiss army knife of connection port on laptops and other mobile techs.

However, you have to note that not all USB Type Cs are thunderbolt ports on laptops.

It does on devices from mido i think...
Mido didn't wipe

Well, I use a mido presently. Things might have changed on newer models.

olayinkajnr:
I guess you unlocked your Bootloader that's why.

Unlocking your bootloader doesn't wipe your internal memory.
At least in my case, my storage was intact when I rebooted.

ubev01:
and those that just want to enjoy their phone the way it came and still updates when it comes? Do they still need to unlock?

It is not necessary, but might be your saving grace when you knowingly or unknowingly brick your device.
Reviving a bricked device through EDL mode is not easy especially for newbies.

An important tip for Newbies and seasoned Xiaomi users:

One of the important things you should do after you get your Xiaomi device is to Unlock the bootloader, especially when it is the Chinese Version flashed with Global rom.
Global version users too should endeavour to unlock if you have it in mind to tweak and mod in future.

An unlocked bootloader will save you a lot hassles if anything goes wrong during tweaking, modding and simple processes like OTA updates.

All you will need to do is to download the latest fastboot rom and flash through MiFlash whilst the phone is booted to fastboot mode. An interesting bit is that, an option "save user data" when chosen in MiFlash, will ensure the user data is untouched and available after the new setup.

The only negative to an unlocked bootloader that I can't personally attest to is that the device "might" be less secure after unlocking, at least that is what Xiaomi states when you request for unlock permission.
As for me, I am yet to experience any negative thing related to bootloader unlocking.

adamix:
Theres a guide to flash for RN5 without having an authorized account... reach me on telegram...i dont want to get banned again here

I actually saw that particular guide, but a few comments below the guide says it didn't work for them.

I don't know sha!

GrifindorHouse:
Chai... Remember last year when I tried to install Global ROM on my RN5 China, I did all the pre rituals as normal like BL unlocking etc.. Den comes the main installation through MI flash, So I forgot to uncheck the "flash and lock" option before clicking flash. Wen I noticed it, flashing process had already started, so no going back again. for my mind I was busy lamenting about how I'm going to stress myself unlocking the BL again not knowing that I've successfully put my device on the road to "Soft Brick" which could even lead to a Hard Brick.
Las Las flashing finish successfully, device now started rebooting. While I was busy waiting to behold the new MIUI 10 update. I was greeted with greatest shock of my smartphone life, "This MIUI version cannot be installed on this device" bros, better piss catch me. Lol. I looked up looked down I was like, guy who send u sef, who send u!! I tried redoing the whole process again, nothing. Instead I was getting one "Edl error" message. Mehhn I almost lost balance. I could not even think straight.

So about an hour later I calmed down, den I started looking for solutions, funny how I didn't come here, lol. First I had to figure out what could have caused it which I later did. I was made to understand that Global Roms cannot be installed on a locked (Bootloader) RN5 China (which I did), if u do the fone will brick. That's why all RN5 China with global roms come with an unlocked Bootloader.

To cut the long story short, i spent almost 2 weeks looking for solutions, which was no where upto many users who stayed upto 3 months without a solution to it. I found help from the most unlikely sourc, a YouTube tutorial video with just 196 views, when thousands of users lined up on forums like XDA, MIUI, android authority etc looking for help and found none.

The experience really opened my eyes and made help understand how powerful and secured xiaomi devices really are.

With all due respect, this your post doesn't in any way point to a specific solution for users that presently find themselves in the situation you pointed out.

What is now the essence of this post?

Why not share the exact steps and appropriate links?

xpensivealex:
am In ijoka area in akure.

Reply with a WhatsApp/Telegram number I can contact you with.

xpensivealex:
olukayode doesn't know anything about xiaomi, I went there on Monday to ask of hybrid SIM adapter, all of them r looking at me as if am speaking Japanese language

Be very wary of those kind of places. Most of the self acclaimed phone engineers don't know jack or just incompetent.

Very few of them are good sha.

Which area you dey for Akure? I might be able to be help.

xpensivealex:
i don't know Wat a bootloader is,i bought the phone fairly used without any problems,infact I told the previous owner not to do the factory settings cos I saw slot of application on it. Please Wat is the solution

If you still have a way to contact the previous owner, kindly do and ask about the bootloader status when he sold it to you.

elantraceey:
@Eseabed The original picture is too large

Thank you jare

But your Mail go receive messages tire today oo!
See as person pikin fine

EseAbed:
This is true... The 13mp cam is almost horrible.. I would never fall for any Xiaomi 13mp camera again.. Imagine I sold my Redmi Note 5A prime cos of it's horrible 13mp rear camera, only for me to buy a note 7 with a horrible 13mp selfie camera. The thing just dey pain me I swear!

You've repeated this "horrible" line more than twice on just one page now, wetin sele gan gan?

How are we to take you seriously when you ain't showing evidences? kindly post pictures taken in well lit and low light environment.

Another thing is that, have you tuned the settings very well? Beauty Mode set to Zero?

Are you sure screen protector is not obstructing the selfie camera? What of dust accumulation?


Lastly, hope your case is not like those wanting a sub 80k phone to peform like latest iPhones and Samsung Galaxies?

MeshachMARTINS:
please what are you guys thought on futminna (federal university of technology minna)
...
north dey fear me ooo
..
I wanted to go for uniabuja but the only course they have for me is geography(no architecture , no qs) , my uncle in uniabuja suggested futminna that minna to abuja is just like 3hrs journey
...
pls I need una opinion
cc protein0

You can put FUTA too in your list. They have arguably one of the best department of Architecture in any Federal University in Nigeria.
To top it all, Akure is a very safe and serene place to live.
2.5hrs away from Benin and about 4hrs from Lagos.

40+ likes on that fine lady's selfie Men for this thread no dey play

MeshachMARTINS:
architecture or urban/regional planning. ..... uniben

I would advise you stick to that Architecture. URP is not appreciated that much in Nigeria and career prospects is not encouraging.

Before you ask why, I did the course in my 1st degree, so I know whatsup.

Kceefresh19:
How.. Cause I hate that stuff
Shot on redmi note 7

Check under Camera settings for any labelling like "Watermark".

Users of Redmi Note 5 and later will explain better.

Holuwaxheun:
The picture ought to have SHOT ON NOTE 7 PRO, but the picture shared is not having such.

Kindly restore the camera to default

No be everybody dey like watermark na! It can be disabled in the settings.

[quote author=ennyhola post=78334976][/quote]This must be a bug. A software update should correct it.

Ps: Maybe you're ain't taking the pictures properly.

organism3:
how do i go about the flashing pls

With these your questions you might need to hook up with someone to get it done for you around your area.

jboixxx:
Far north I dey o. Have you tried the link I sent you earlier?
Acekid109, busuyi44, scotweezy any help?

Had to read back to get the real issue.

@Organism3 are you 100% sure the engineer fixed the screen correctly?
If yes, you might need to unlock the phones boatloader, download Fastboot rom and flash through MiFlash.

Osyxcel:
Yes, but with numbers scratched off first. Na naija we dey.

All my old ATM cards dey neatly packed for my wardrobe.
And I think Access and GTBank just replaces with a card with same Number albeit new CCV and new expiry date.
