The info on the back of the phone is authentic.

You can try the method below to get ntel or smile working on your phone. Credits to @vanchi


Set your apn as ntel

Then go to settings and make sure that the ntel sim is set as default for data. Don't bother going to preferred network type thru settings

From dialler *#*#4636#*#*
Select the sim slot which is he ntel line is in and set as LTE only.

Go back to sim settings and select the other line as the default data sim. Then switch it back to the ntel sim for data.


You've got 4g.

If you tamper with preferred network type through settings then u have to go and set it to LTE using that code through the dialler.
No need for manual network search


The original thread is here

https://www.nairaland.com/3121922/ntel-unlimited-internet-worth-it/59
I always use that code to set my phone to WCDMA/LTE and when I tried the smile 4glte sim, it was only the one in my phone but it didn't bring out any network bar

I know my note4 global came SEALED, rear camera sensor is Sony and same model no as yours. Can't confirm if it supports band20 cuz there's no LTE bands in my area.
When and which store did you buy yours? I bought mine a month ago from ETstore

My global version of N4x's model no is 2016102. We should ask seyema if his/her note4 came SEALED or opened.
That's exactly what's at the back of my phone also and on my carton, it Was written Note 4 and global version as a stamp on it instead of note 4x global you are talking about.

Thanks for the confirmation
It came sealed

GrandMufti:
So note 4x 32GB is 2016102.

The sticker is xiaomi's default way of identifying a device.

So the seller cannot clone a carton nor the sticker. You can also compare the imei on the carton and on the phone.


Awaiting other note 4x users
My carton is far from where I am presently. When I tried to remove the sticker, I thought I will find everything written on the sticker on the phone also but No I couldn't

Chairman, abeg wetin be the name of that your triple-sim phone?

On the issue of bands supported, I have personally not tested 4G on mine so I can't comment much on that coz I got the Global version which was stated to support band 20 and one other band missing on the Redmi Note 4x.

We will appreciate hands on testing by any Redmi Note 4 global version user.
It's Tecno T401.

We hope we can see other user who would confirm it

What is the model number written behind your phone? Mine is 2015161 for rn3 se 3GB/32GB. Drop your's so that others with similar device can confirm.

It should tally with what's written on the carton
They wrote 2016102

After doing some research on my phone, I discovered that what sellers sold to people as note 4 global is note 4x.

Before I bought my phone then, I did a lot of research on the advantages note 4 global has over note 4x and I got to know that note 4 global has more useful lte bands that we need in Nigeria than note 4x like band 20 and note 4 global uses Sony sensor for its rear camera and some other findings.

Few days ago, someone on this thread ask a member how he manage to use smile lte on his xiaomi device and he replied that one of the reason why he buy that phone(Redmi 4a) was because it support band 20 which is what smile lte uses. After reading that, I just remove the smile lte from my sisters mifi to try it in my phone since my own phone too support band 20 and to my surprise, the network refuse to come up, I even searched manually for available network and it shows 62127 but all my effort to register on it didn't succeed.

And evidence is the camera: There is a small tutorial on this thread sometimes ago on how to know your camera sensor and i discover and also disappointed that xiaomi actually uses Samsung sensor contrary to Sony sensor I read earlier before buying then. Only those that bought the phone earlier when it's still more expensive actually buy the one with Sony sensor.

Although I don't really care about camera as I'm not a camera person but the unavailability of LTE band20 might be one of the reason why I have never receive lte signal from MTN since they too uses band 20 despite paying more for it then. I actually saw a cheaper note 4x then but because of that lte band 20 and Sony sensor, I decided to go for note 4 global.

Yes, as a matter of fact, the best thing for lithium batteries is to do top-ups with it, i.e charging from time to time, but not full discharge and charge cycle. It is advised to maintain between 30-80% most of the time, and some articles have stated that 20-90% is also okay. One can do full "discharge and charge" once a month for calibration

BeardedTraveler:
Actually you are, cos Lithium batteries have a life-cycle that is mostly determined by the numbers of deep charges u have, which is roughly the amount of times u use the battery till its very low or till it goes off and then recharge.
So, does that means I shouldn't wait for my battery to low before charging it and charge it any time there's light

Me, I am not surprised but just be very cautious when buying from someone, Outlet or mini shop. Also, it isn't a bad idea to seek help from folks around here also Xiaomi has its thread on NL and Xiaomites are one symbiotic family.
Yes o, thanks bro...

That is why I love Naija countrymen, we all stereotype major outlets and stores. In a way, OP's message is a wake-up call and in the other, it is baseless to a lay man (no offense OP).


OP's experience ====>He wanted a Charger, He saw the rating on paper, He bought it, discovered the rating seemed not real in reality and now he wants a refund.

Solat Business View====> We get a customer, persuade him with specs even though we haven't sampled the commodity, Customer buys it an later wants to return it under what precept: Not charging Fast. We test it, it charged 4% in 10mins (not a biggie for Solat, so far it added up). Also, No business venture will own up to cheating its customer o!


Now in the Nigeria market, You can't use such simple cases to win off (except in the case of visible fast charge technology like Infinix's flash Charge⚡⚡ and Qualcomm's Quick Charge) since you haven't much proof to convince those who know nothing about smartphones (imagine the staff labelling Xiaomi as an ordinary Chino).

In light of this occurrence, I hope the OP will learn from past experience, reach a pact with your seller (especially when you are on a budget) and fully test the commodity within 2 days (with the third day being the max). So my brother, this is Nigeria for you.. Shipping is nice but it isn't without its flaws too. Everyone cheats and get cheated on (not every form of cheat is money inclined)... That is a posi-negative thing called L.I.F.E.
Nice word, The 1st time I saw the charger was with someone that bought a new Samsung tablet and the charger was so good that I even dey beef the charger. By the time I lost my xiaomi charger, something just felt in my head that this the perfect replacement for it not knowing that i'm actually buying a crap!

Later some people will be saying we should buy naira to grow naira. Sellers on aliexpress don't behave like this cos they will do anything to get the 5star!

Anyway, I have counted it as my loss. I will soon order for Aukey charger from reputable seller on Aliexpress.

Please, do not get me wrong. I am no advocate for rip-offs, it pisses the hell outta me but an awful lot still hold SOLAT in high esteem, including me. To an extent, most staff in places like that are not well train in complaints management, all they know is persuasion for first buys. OP, should move on and get a better of it by making use of what he has or try my aforementioned viable option.
Check this thread and see how someone complained about them also last year https://www.nairaland.com/3045308/experience-solat-telecoms-cocoa-mall

LMAO, Really sorry for OP but you can not sod off potential buyers of SOLAT like that... If you want a traditional charger, I will completely recommend the conventional BB playbook Charger (5V 1.8A), make sure you look out for mediocrity cos our Aba brothers have indulged us by creating a cheaper knock off. 'luck with your quest.
I use to use that bb charger you are talking about but it's cable always break with few months of use

This post shaa, you already made the mistake by not scanning the barcode immediately before leaving there, it's been really helpful, I don't confirm orders from AliExpress especially when it has to do with Memory cards, and USB cords without scanning and searching the website.
I have learned my lesson hard way now... I should have Google that shop before buying from them since like two people have previously complain about the product before
