Xiaomi Note 3 now R1899

[Noob-Noob]

I didn't even get a mail



I'm already regretting it to be honest... I needed this as a temp phone and will probably end up using my S4 Mini.

Same here, I'm starting a new job next week which is +- 70km away and requires a little traveling, I have a G3 which restarts every time you turn on the GPS.
Seems like im going to end up using my old Lumia 1320.

My Xperia X10 Mini used to do the same thing. It ended up being the camera module rattling. You should hear it actuate if you hold the camera lens to your ear while opening the camera app.

Bit of googling seems to confirm it's the camera housing or lens that's slightly loose when not engaged.

Oh well, dropped into case now (the exchanged unit came with one) and am moving on.

One thing I noticed, the exchanges unit came with MIUI 7.2 and there is an update to 8. But rather running android 5.1. The other unit ran 7.5 and android 6.1. Busy updating to 8. Should I even bother updating to android 6.1? Is there any difference?

I'm struggling to understand why takealot is able to deliver so quickly without all of these hassles... I honestly don't think WeChat is to blame here

Ordered mine today now a bit concerned although guess it'll be an ok second phone.

Is marshmallow available for it without rooting?

Bought mine from geekbuying, someone on this forum somewhere said they deliver to him in around 6 to 7 days.

EDIT: See mine was orderred on the 25th, 8 days ago.

Thanks for this. I just got tempered glass from there for dirt cheap. Will take the hard cover from Takealot

Here is my battery consumption for my current charge. 6h of screen on time since yesterday about 13h

I bought this but made the mistake of only opening a IC account after the purchase. (i thought i had one, i was wrong), now i cannot track&Trace the bloody thing

When did you make the purchase? I also made an IC account after I made the wechat purchase. I checked the IC account after a few days and the purchase reflected on it. Not sure if they have to manually process it.

Preloaded, although still on MIUI 7, but at least Marshmellow

 

[Aharon]

Thanks at least Marshmallow

 

[Aharon]

And the battery life looks reasonable at least. Two key points.... Is xioami good st updating?

 

[Mental]

Missed out on this.

If anyone wants to get rid of theirs let me know, please

The free shipping option says 30-40 business days?

 

[Aharon]

I didn't get asked for shipping option?

Took the registerred mail, shows 15 to 30 days on invoice (but like I said, someone on the forum once said they got it in a few days). Got a tracking number too. Shipped from Amsterdam. Tracking number is useless, shows "pre-advised, South africa"..

Where did you get the option? Or only when it appears on incredible's site?

:wtf: Me and Brucem is talking about the Geekbuying and shipping thing. I orderred screen protector and cover from there.

 

[Aharon]

Sorry lol

This whole thing reminds me of the Huawei tablet DSTV deal somehow

Some company that owned Kalahari owns a massive share in Tencent that owns WeChat.

How long does it take for imports? I bought stuff from ebay and it took 3 months but I see some people getting theirs in 3 weeks?
