Xiaomi Note 3 now R1899

[airborne]

Hi guys.

I'm thinking about getting covers from Xiaomi hong kong store.

Than will be using aramax global shopper to get it here in 1-2 weeks.
From there SAPO from my address to yours about 1 week. So about a month or two faster than ebay/aliexpress.

Looking for anyone else interested in getting it as well to put it into the Aramax pot
We will divide the cost of Aramax and Taxes.

Individual covers and Sapo envelop shipping will be on you.

PM if anyone is interested.

My itrader points: for anyone who wants a bit of assurance.

Apparently Aramex doesn't charge duties if the value is under R500, I'd keep that in mind.

I tested the Takealot one (hardcover) and it doesn't fit properly. Same thing reported by other people on here

Mine is 152mm

Soft cover is also a bust as mine was delivered just yesterday.

Jeez I see now how the cover doesn't cover the whole phone

I bought this one from Takealot and it fits, but the charging port is partially obstructed.

Bring out the Stanley knife and modify it a little?

Problem is that that rubber top but doesn't cover the screen properly.

Nah it'll do for now I'll live with the flaws until I get something else, I just wanted something for grip since she's a slippery gal when naked. Takealot had next day delivery.

Some very cool themes in the theme shop, like the Batman theme.

I've managed to install TWRP without needing to unlock the bootloader.
I've used ALKATwrp to backup all partitions.Currently installing ZCX_TWRP.

I will make a backup using this twrp too,then attempt to flash CM13 while keeping the bootloader locked

Update : I realised the CM13 Kenzo flashes the modem file which renders our Kate simless.
Currently thinking of a way around this issue before i proceed

How are you guys finding the Bluetooth streaming?

I get a stutter or pause only when playing songs in my car, regardless of media player and it's driving me nuts.

Phone calls are fine.

Same here over Bluetooth speaker. I use Google Play for music and sometimes while browsing artists/albums the song playing will stutter a little bit

I now have the rattle when I put the phone down on a hard surface or tap the back at the top by the camera. Must be the camera surely?

Mine stutters every 10-15 seconds while the phone is idle.

Any idea how to fix this?

Mine had a slight rattle too.
It seems it was the simcard holder for me,seems a bit loose

Thanks for the link.
I've decided to keep MIUI 8 on here for now.
Rooted without the unlocked bootloader.

Side note: Got the approval from them to unlock the bootloader,however it gets stuck on 50% saying the account on the phone isnt the same as my Mi account.Its no biggy now that i have TWRP on there though
