Xiaomi Note 3 now R1899

[RanzB]

What'd you get?

I'm still enjoying the RN3, but have been considering another Chinese import - Elephone S8 or P8

Yup, S7 Edge.

Really like the upgrade but nothing beats that 4050mAh battery from the Xiaomi.

Yeah but in my real world usage the 3600mah last me a full day. I'm at home in the evening with 40% left on a normal day.

What screen on time stats do you have on the Xiaomi?

I don't know, it's been sold. I'm not a heavy Screen On user to be honest. When I'm in front of my PC and TV, most things are handled via that as opposed to the phone. Obviously that effects it quite a bit, but I'm not sure what other phones would last 48 hours + with even that use.

Anyone having a lagging issue?

Ja, I've noticed something after the previous update.

Just updated today to the latest version, haven't had enough time to get a feel for the performance.

 

[RVR]

It's definitely the update! Suffering big time here. I cant wait for the next update so need a fix ASAP :/

 

[FlashSA]

Yip. Not all the time, but sometimes clicking a link in Gmail opens Chrome and then the phone just sits and thinks for several seconds. Removing Facebook app helped a little, but it's still an issue.

This battery drain issue is a pain in the ass, I've done a factory reset twice and no joy

Which network are you on?

It's a Telkom Data Sim.

It's a Telkom Data Sim.

Try setting it to connect to MTN. I have the same problem, since roaming on MTN, my battery lasts at least twice as long.

Interesting, it's an integrated data Sim though don't think I can use roaming.

Forced it on to Mtn, service us terrible though.

I still can't figure out why it does that. It's not just on Xiaomi either.

After seeing FlashSA's ad.... I noticed that the phone has a 2 year warranty.

My battery started swelling which is causing the metal frame by the volume button to bend.

Do you think the warranty will cover this?

Has anyone claimed from incredible connection on the warranty?

Yeah I believe it's a factory defect.
