    The more I use my Note 4 the more I like it. Still feel it is a bit large.
    I've noticed that detection of WhatsApps messages is not as clear as previous devices.

    Still looking for a screen protector. Recommendations?

    Planning to do so once I can unlock my phone. Have to wait another 40 hours to do so.

    I have used resurrection remix before and I liked it. Might try that when I get my phone unlocked.

    I was using Lineage but for some reason I wasn't able to set notification sounds per app so I might get that a try. Its a fickle reason to change as it works great otherwise but that's me :)

    When you turn it on does it update to Android 7.1 or is it just Android 6?
    Would it have any issues changing from 3g to 2g if your 2g coverage was bad?
    Does it support 4g over here?

    It has an update to MIUI 9 7.0 (not 7.1.1/2 - someone with the device confirm - dev roms may have newer version of android)


    As long as you get a device with BAND 20 for LTE, you will get 4G!

    Geek Buying have $20 off a $200 purchase at the minute. Phone is 199.99 but add something to the basket to bring it over 200 (or don't bother and just get $6 off)

    My sister wanted one so added a screen protector - has to be from same warehouse as phone btw)

    This is a quirk of MIUI. Go into the Battery Saver settings within MIUI and either turn off the MIUI battery optimisation thing or else tell it to leave WhatsApp running.

    You can lock an app into memory too [MIUI is aggressive with RAM management and tends to shut apps off causing this to happen]. You pull the app icon down after seeing it in the "current open apps" screen thingy.

    I just turned the battery saver off. The battery life is amazing especially coming from a nexus

    Just couldn't get the twrp to boot. It was installing ok but wouldn't boot. Then I bricked it somehow, in a fastboot loop. Easy enough to solve using miflash and then flashing the correct global rom.

    Anyway...think I am on the road to success following this guide:
    http://en.miui.com/thread-667496-1-1.html

    I can't boot into recovery using the buttons, so having to do it via ADB.

    I finally bought one earlier today, expecting it to arrive on Monday :rolleyes:

    Just pulled the trigger and ordered one over the weekend, from IT warehouse. Has yours arrived yet, just wondering what their shipping times are like. Did you get any email notifications?

    I ordered over a weekend & got a confirmation email on the Monday with a DHL tracking number. Tracking said that it would be delivered Wednesday but it arrived on the Tuesday.

    Exact same device, except generally the one without the X has support for more LTE bands. i.e. Band 20 which is needed in this country.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/specs/redminote4x

    There is also RN4/X with Mediatek which should be avoided!

    Note: - Check the description and band support before ordering from a seller.

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.

    Hi All,

    Im finally about to bite the bullet and purchase. Can anyone confirm if this model from HK Goldway is ok for Ireland?

    https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Original-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-4-Special-Edition-Mobile-Phone-3GB-RAM-32GB-ROM-MTK-Helio-X20/311331_32766122092.html

    So many on the site it's confusing but this seems to have all the right specs to work here.

    Thanks

    You may aswell get the one with 4GB RAM and 64gb storage.

    I haven't used HK Goldway but I think this is it:
    Here

    But this one only ships from China. Have a look back and see the other links. There is one where you have about 30 diff options for type of phone and shipping combo.
