Guys, I ordered a tempered class for my redmi note 5 from AliExpress. It didn't cover the entire screen. Is it supposed to be so or did the seller send the wrong item?

macbeyland:
Price of a xiaomi redmi 5 plus 3gb ram on one popular store on aliexpress.

That should be the 4gb RAM version

GrandMufti:
Yes if you update through OTA . You can avoid the factory reset by downloading the full rom and flashing manually.


Your best bet is to read the changelog before deciding to update or waiting for about 3 weeks while reading feedbacks from those who have updated

If you don't mind my asking, does flashing manually requires you to be rooted?

GrandMufti:
If you wish. Be ready to factory reset afterwards

Does it mean that we factory reset after each update?

After watching that, �I think I'll stick to my present MIUI version

Ochima75:
Go to settings >> installed apps>> WhatsApp>> notification>> and disable floating notification

Thanks. That worked.

GrandMufti:
Go to whatsapp notification settings and select 'no pop up'

Yeah, I did that already and it still pops

How do I stop WhatsApp notifications from popping into my screen? ??

busuyi44:
Available, come to WhatsApp

Can I get a SIM adapter from anyone here?

Elxandre:
You set it to preferred, not only.

To set it to 3g only, dial *#*#4636#*#* and select phone information, them select wcdma

Thanks. Solved

Guys, I changed my preferred network to 3G only but I still get Edge only. What I'm I doing wrong? #RedmiNote5 #Glo

pussymoneyweed:
Please, who have upadated his xiomi redmi note 5 to miui 9.5.17..hope there is no bug. Abeg?

I've been skeptical about updating too. I read some not to good reviews about it. Battery drain, camera, volume...

Gptech:
You updated?

Not yet. Wondering if I should wait awhile as I read not so good reviews about the update (i.e MIUI 9.5.17)

kstan:
Go buy transformer

How will that help? �

Ayam not impressed with this battery o! #RedmiNote5AI

JulianoB:
This is the latest and it still has bugs in it, messed up front camera.

Is that so? Then I'll chill with my present version

How comes I only have the option to upgrade to MIUI 9.5 and not 9.6 (I'm using redmi note 5 AI)

JOHNSCARLET:
how much did you buy

Plus shipping, about 77k

Finally finally.... I'm officially a Xiaomite
After waiting for 3weeks.....funny enough it took just 2weeks to get to my state capital from Ali express and our very own NIPOST took aawhole week to bring it to my locality....when I asked the NIPOST man how much, he said I should give him anything I want.... I gave him N500

GrandMufti:
Go and collectus itemtinho...... Next time hide your tracking details

OK thanks

Microsoft or Arrow launcher

Come o! What does that mean

They say some Chinese are cannibals. Intact they like dinning on blacks. . Have you gotten any hint if that's true?

2nd week, still de waiting for my note 5 arrival. Meanwhile, what's the best launcher I could use on the note 5? I always like an app drawer on my phones and xiaomi usually don't offer that. Or is the default launcher really cool?

isco10:
Just used Zenith Bank Naira MasterCard to pay for an order of $0.75 from Aliexpress. Let's see how much Zenith Bank go charge or debit in Naira.
Who has used Zenith Bank to pay for orders from AliExpress b4??

Just change the settings in aliexpress to see what the cost is in naira. They can't charge more than that.

Oyeleye101:
RN5?

Yup

Abeg o, is unlocking of bootloader the same thing as rooting?

SammyAi:
And then how much is the 4gb/64gb version??

Plus shipping cost, it costs me about 77k

The 6/64gb version is just about 4k higher than the 4/64gb version

Darkseid:
My cousin wants to buy my current phone and I don tire to dodge the guy. If I sell it to him now, my only option would be to fall back to my old BB curve 4 or E71.

Haha, I was in the same shoes. Someone wanted my gionee m5+ urgently. I sold it to him and I'm now using tecno droid pad 7D while I wait for my xiaomi. I wish I waited for the 6gb RAM version

Darkseid:
Is anyone experiencing shipment delay from AliExpress here? My ite my item left it's country of origin since on the 4th and I've not gotten any other info since then. It was shipped using AliExpress standard but the tracking number is that of Singapore post. I don tire to wait.

When it comes to aliexpress shippings, patience should be your middle name. My order was shipped 2 weeks ago, ayam still giving it another 2-3weeks to get to me. So i quietly comot mind for there
