Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Deals & Offers

Well, mine showed up eventually. It was delivered while I was away so I'm not sure how long it took. Customs was £14.

Ah mine lasts for 2 days on pretty heavy usage. WiFi is always on and GPS. I lose about 5% overnight at an estimate.

This is what I 've got. Will do reset tomorrow, hopefully it will help, Thank you!

settings->about phoneyou are not doing anything wrong, battery drain is most likely system related.if you have the same version of the system, do the factory reset, should help.

Thank you for your reply. How do I check the ROM? It's showing as android is the biggest drain of the battery at 13.5%, the rest are 1apps at 1-2% each. Scanning always available was switched of, so it must be something else I am doing wrong :(

I'm not arguing yet, but simply laying out facts (with links) and waiting for you to show (with links) which of my facts you dispute. You seem unable to do that, it's sad that there are people who will blindly defend cheap Chinese phone manufacturers simply because it lets them buy cheap Chinese phones....

Naive people like xx123 think that they only need to worry about other ("bad", says the media) governments spying on them. Wake up.

Well, as I've said Huawei infrastructure equipment is considered safe in the UK (due to GCHQ overwatch of all Huawei network infrastructure being brought into the country) and ZTE is banned from supplying infrastructure. So which of those are you disputing? Its also well known that ZTE is a state owned company and the founder of Huawei is an ex senior officer in the Chinese Army's Information Technology Research unit, the actual ownership of Huawei is virtually unknown other than that. Unless you have different info you'd like to share?

Coincidentally, they're not. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23355950 https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/gchq-oversight-of-huawei-increases-29846069.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/02/20/uk-cyber-security-agency-sticks-chinas-huawei-despite-us-spy/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/17/gchq_spooks_told_break_huaweis_grip_on_critical_uk_antivuln_cell/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/04/16/zte_gchq_warning/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/uk-telcos-warned-on-use-of-zte-equipment-report/ http://www.afr.com/news/chinese-telco-zte-on-australian-spy-agencies-radar-after-uk-us-bans-20180418-h0yxlq https://www.caixinglobal.com/2018-02-26/australia-defense-department-hangs-up-on-huawei-zte-101214157.html

Huawei is the BT preferred brand for Fibre enabled exchanges, their equipment is much faster and more stable than the only other brand of equipment BT uses. So the only way to avoid their equipment, if you are worried about the Chinese spying on you; is to stay off of the internet. (bye!!)

Just a tiny island! (cheeky) Its not just us that needs band 20, there are lots that need it to get full coverage. How much its used is another story as the networks restrict VoLTE use for example to a limited selection of phones.

Turns out that band 20 is a bit niche and we're not very important as a country

I think they have just posted the wrong spec at the bottom of the page, the title and pictures both say global version, so it probably is the global version.

Dont ask why "some" and "models" is one word; I have edited it twice, and put several spaces between the two words, but it keeps reverting.

As I have tried to explain many times, Global means OS ROM other than Chinese, and the inclusion of the Google Play Store; then they have two physical versions of some models, with a lower spec for the Chinese mainland market.. This could be a flashed Chinese version, as the genuine Global version of the snapdragon powered phone HAS Band 20 (I have one sat next to me); either that, or the sellers has posted the wrong spec list (which happens a lot, as most of them cannot actually read English). They dont currently have the Chinese ROM version for sale, so I cannot check to see if it is the latter. Until recently, customs werent an issue, but my last phone via this seller was stopped by customs, so they might be cracking down. On the other hand, the charge was £4, plus £8 handling fee from the Post Office.

Tax fraud? Go away, you sad case.

Crossbow, gone for this last week. Will see how we get along with the bigger screen when the mobile arrives. Thanks

Wouldn't buy a Xiaomi phone from AliExpress ever again- they are useless at resolving issues. Avoid!

If you ever buy another Xiaomi, I'd recommend an Android One model, like the Mi A1 (or the upcoming Mi A2). They have (& will have) pure Android (no skins, overlays or bloatware of any kind) with regular updates directly from Google for at least 2 years.

I really wouldn't recommend this phone. I've had it for more than a year. After about 7 months the audio jack quit working. The mic only records garbled sound if you take videos (voice messages are still okay) and the screen cracks quite easily if you don't have it in a case. There are sometimes software issues and there's something called Kika Keyboard inside that you can't uninstall and sometimes goes on update request sprees. I also had a problem with the SC weather app you don't seem to be able to uninstall.

Mine goes blocky. On mi mix 2. Honorary view 10 perfect. Mi goes blocky just rotating screen

I have a xiaomi MI 6 and a redmi note 3 and have no problem mirroring unless the streaming source is bad use it quite often to watch live sport through mobdor

Does WiFi display mirror go blocky on this? Like every other miui phone

You must be lucky or an imposter selling for AliExpress.. Most people like me are not.

That flash sale just keeps on going! The phone has actually been as low as 106 quid recently and as much as 145. Got to time it right lol. A LOT of phone for the money, no Band 20 but has NFC. Camera gets v positive reviews. PS, yes, exact same phone! https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-sharp-aquos-s2?gclid=Cj0KCQjwn-bWBRDGARIsAPS1svvOFe_hNulwJ8F3Z6_LqHAN3tfwXxoBvrwOY0lKHGYpMnn4qJFENR0aAijlEALw_wcB

Second phone arrived today, £14.85. I'm sure they make it up as they go along!

I ordered the 5 plus with a mi band £140 middle of Feb it was in the uk 17 days later and has been returned to sender i have to wait another 5 days before the order is cancelled before i can get my money back

Yeh apparently They have got Stricter a few months ago , before it was random picking parcels,. Now they are taking time checking all or if not most of the parcels.

Ordered two of these the last time they were on offer and one arrived a couple of weeks later, after I collected from the post office with a £12.85 customs charge, and the other one has been in the UK since the 8th. Never had this with any of the stiff I've ordered from China before :/ Anyone else had any similar experiences lately?

In daylight the camera is fine, it's low light where it suffers.
