Hi All,
Now that Redmi Note 4 first sale is through yesterday, wanted a thread to share your flash sale experience and if anyone has received thier unit already?
My order initially was Gold 64GB but got errored out at time of payment. Then got 32gb Gold variant , not without connection issues and hiccups. I also was worried if Flipkart will auto cancel the order. They do it many times. But the wait is over. My order has been shipped from blore and Flipkart States it should be delivered on Friday. I hope since it has already left Bangalore today, it should get delivered soon..
Can't wait to get my hands on it...
Kindly share pics if anyone has received thier unit already and of course your first impressions...Am coming from Redmi Note 3 which was a device which made me use my S6 Edge less.. Believe me it did.. and I use it only for taking pictures.And my RN3 is running 7.1.1 with all AOSP goodness and it's magic..Hope I have same experience with RN4..
What's your story??

I am also in same situation as you. Ordered the Dark Grey 64GB version. It has been shipped from B'lore today morning at 2 am.
It says it will be delivered by Friday.
I hope it has similar development scene as in Redmi Note 3. Hopefully this one also gets LineageOS, RR, etc.
Yup
Wow lucky dude..Got the 4gb one..More than the storage it's the ram part that's attractive with the 64gig.
I got it and missed it at the payment screen... Anyways happy at least got the 32gig one..

That's the most important thing..RN3 was more enjoyable after the AOSP and nougat experience..Hope that happens with the RN4 soon. Also it will free up Ram moving away from MIUI.. having said which, MIUI has come a long way and improved by a vast margin helped by new faster devices. Any day better than Samsung TouchWiz crap...
Do share pics once yours arrive. Cheers
Hoping mine also will be here by Thursday or Friday
With so many 625 phones out there am expecting good development .
Make a wa or tel group also
Btw Is kernel source out ?

Unfortunately it is imprinted. Not sure a light nail polish remover type stuff can remove it. Am worried if I use it it might affect the color. It looks really horrible. Donno why it is left at that huge font...I'm sure some daredevil will come up with solution to remove it for sure as it is a real eyesore..

Thanks, was pretty sure it was but it just looks more similar to the Redmi 4's build which is metal but with plastic at the top and bottom unlike the Redmi Note 4. The SD version looks identical to the MTK version except for the antenna lines, which look plastic on the MTK version but metallic on the SD version.

Hi guys,
thanks for lending me ur precious time towards my thread. I am out in the market to get a phone, lets say a smartphone..
And the only one that could impress me was the NEXUS 4 !!!
But the problem is , I live i India, and the phone hasnt released here...but yet a few websites. like ebay are selling 'em..
Is the device awesome? Compared to HTC One x+??
And is it capable of handling all future apps??
And last one, should i get a phone now or shud i wait...??
THANK YOU...Regards
bought the device 2 days ago .........
first impression :- design and feel = great
turned it on was dissapointed as the display was washed out as i came from amoled note screen ...... but fixed it with kernelsa and the brightness was too good in sunlight
started liking it alot
but suddenly started using 3G and phone got crazy hot in low signal and even normal signal
so hot that i couldnt take calls
the performance is the best but its a phone first so im returning mine
these problems can be fixed using kernels but i still wont be keeping it :/

I would wait until google io next wednesday to see if they announce an updated nexus 4, and then make your decision. Prices may go down on the original nexus 4 if they do.
Is the device awesome? I would say its the real google android experience, always first to get updates. So many roms/kernels to flash or you could just stay stock. Its really your decision, but more importantly I'd make sure you get good coverage with a nexus 4 in your area.

thanks a lot
I'm supposed to pick up mine on 15th. Can't keep an eye on the keynote due to time-zone difference.
I don't give a rat's a$$ about LTE support and 32gb storage so my question is: should I postpone the pickup date to 16th of May? Are there any features other than LTE & 32gb storage Google might have up it's sleeve?
A price drop seems kinda irrelevant too because it'll probably take weeks after the announcement for the prices to decrease in retail stores.
Appreciating any advice.
weeks? retail stores?
google playstore
Ordered mine 2-days ago.. I doubt we will see anything from Google l/0 re: a new Nexus..
I'd assume we would have heard rumors by now as Google is not very good at keeping secrets..

Let's hope it's only a minor update :fingers-crossed:
Let's just say if 4.3 gets announced at I/O your phone the N4 will get it before any other non Nexus device. If the latest and greatest software is one of your needs the N4 will be a very good bet.
I'm interested in this too as I just received my N4. I haven't even opening the shipping box yet because I don't know if I should start using the phone or wait until I/O....if I open the phone box I get charged a restocking fee if I return it. I move to the UK in 2 weeks so I'm not even sure if LTE matters as it's quite expensive there. But, I am really more interested in a price drop in the 16GB.
Recommend waiting or just going for it?

I am by no means an expert nor do I have any inside knowledge but I doubt the 16GB will get a price drop even if they release an refreshed Nexus 4..
I just ordered one a few days ago and as soon as it arrives I am cracking that box open..
Plus, since you just bought it, I am sure if Google did announce a price drop you could call and get some sort of credit for the price difference..

You'll enjoy the nexus 4 if you dont expect a whole lot. Battery life definitely not as good as s4 but I still came back to it.

He came from a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket so he does not even notice the lag..
After the nexus and using it for two days i love it for its pure experience and performance but it heats up a lot according to my liking so going to return it if i can
After other phones go
S4 - dont like touch wiz and late updates
But i certainly love samoled and the octa core laggy
Htc one - bad button placements allround from power to home buttons and lack of detail in camera
I dont know which way to go even if i return the n4
Unlock the boot loader, root it and install a custom kernel and say goodbye to extreme heat.

This thread is for all Pakistan based users. Please share your buying experience, accessories info, questions and queries regarding Network Provider based services and ofcourse your experiences with this awesome device!
To start off, I bought mine (Black, 32GB version) a couple of weeks ago, coming from the N4. Got it from a retailer I've gone to before in Zamzama, Karachi,. for Rs 72k. Quite a lot to spend on a smartphone, but I got a good price for my N4 and I really wanted this Homeshopping.pk apparently now has the silver version for under 70k on their site.
There's obviously no warranty but after speaking to Brightex Pakistan (official HTC distributors apparently) they plan on launching the One with warranty by June 22nd, or so they said. Mind you, the price for that will be quite a bit higher than the non warranty version but I suppose the peace of mind is worth it for a lot of people.
After having used the phone for a couple of weeks, and going through several charge cycles, my one and only issue with this phone - namely the battery life - has pretty much been laid to rest. Getting about 3 hrs on screen time and 20-24 hrs total time on a single charge with sync on which is great for me as it gets me through my full work day. Haven't found any glaring glitches yet (thankfully!) and the experience of using this device is completely brilliant!
Have NOT rooted and gone flash crazy yet as I want to enjoy the phone as is for a while. Am just waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update to hit, hopefully soon The only 'accessory' I use right now is my own earphones with this set and they sound fantastic, much better than the included pair.
I've been looking for the MHL and OTG cables but haven't found them yet. If anyone has any info it would be appreciated.
Really curious to find out how many of us in PK have gotten this phone thus far so let us know y'all!

Thanks, was thinking abt rooting n flashing. Prolly gonna try it this weekend. Think I've been so spoilt by previous Nexus phones that trying to root an HTC device just makes me feel lazy
By stock odex you mean a Sense 5 Rom but with 4.2.2 instead of the current 4.1x yea? Could you link to the one you are on? Thanks

I'm thinking of getting the black but how is your experience with scratches and smudges? Is it really that bad? I'm coming from the black One X but I pretty much kept it in a minimal case most of the time.

Well so far I have not used a cover or case with it since I couldn't find any good quality, minimal, ones. There are no scratches yet but the back does get some fingerprints which you can wipe off. Admittedly since its new I have been careful enough with it but I do carry it in my jeans pocket. So far so good. I think if you're used to having a case on your phone this one will not disappoint you.
That said, I've noticed the camera lens picks up smudges much more than my previous phones. I use a lens cloth to wipe it down after a couple of days or when I can remember.
My other reasoning for not having a case/cover so far is that it just looks so darned nice without them

I think the issue would be one of power. A low power device like a thumb (usb) flash drive gets its power from our phones via the OTG cable but an external HDD requires more power than the phone can provide. Its suggested in the following thread/link that you can use a powered USB hub to power up the Drive and then the OTG will work with the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931990&page=2

Any of you guys who haven't registered your HTC One device with your serial numbers at http://us.htc.com/googleplay/redeem should do so now.
I am not in the USA but was able to receive and redeem the $25 Play Credit by using an alternate Google account then downloading app to phone and switching back to my regular account. Works great, so try it now if you haven't already!

I know Benchmarks don't say much but how does the device compare to let's say a note 3 (which I got now) and what does emui 3.0 feel like? Is it just like MIUI or looks like that but the experience is different? Just asking becouse miui is very fluent in usage. Thanks in advance.

* How does it feel? Does it feel natural at 6.1" in your hands?
* is it heavy? How does it compare to the Note 3 or other comparably-sized device?
* Does it fit in your pocket easily enough?
* Does it work well-enough with EMUI 3.0 with one-handed operations?
* I know you only just got it, but could you report back in a few days after continuous use about how the battery fares?
* Are you going to try it with a few games to see how the processor performs?
* Did you do any download/upload speed tests?
* Where are you located and were you able to activate it with no issues on your network?
* Was the device difficult to set up?
* How is the charging? Does it take a long time? This is something that hopefully you'll report back about in a few days after charging the device a few times.
In terms of your Google contacts sync issue, what exactly is the issue? You need to give more information about what is "not working" before we can offer some help. The first suggestion I'd have is to delete the google account you created on the device and recreate it.

* How is the charging? Does it take a long time? This is something that hopefully you'll report back about in a few days after charging the device a few times.
In terms of your Google contacts sync issue, what exactly is the issue? You need to give more information about what is "not working" before we can offer some help. The first suggestion I'd have is to delete the google account you created on the device and recreate it.

I used OPPO N1 and Note3 last year, the weight is note3< mate7<N1, it's not bad. But holding it while laying face up is kinda hard xD hands get shot easily.
Yeah it fit my Levi's pocket pretty good.
One hand operation is okay in EMUI, if you have the xposed mod fly android installed it will be way better.
Games work fine as the GPU is pretty mainstream.
The phone I got is the CMCC version. Only works on TD LTE network in China but can be used on FDD LTE or any other 3G/4G in other country. I think if I can flash the China Unicom version's modem it could work on FDD in China to as the hardware support it. I'm planning using it in Canada on Bell. Will test it out on 22nd when I get back.
Set up? What you mean by set up?
Charging takes around 3 hours from nearly dead battery (10%-ish) to 100%. With my four ports universal charger it takes longer, maybe 5 hours but I'm not sure cuz I was sleeping

* Does it fit in your pocket easily enough?
* Does it work well-enough with EMUI 3.0 with one-handed operations?
* I know you only just got it, but could you report back in a few days after continuous use about how the battery fares?
* Are you going to try it with a few games to see how the processor performs?

And the phone feels good, really good in hands. It feels very solid and slate. And didn't feel too huge like the OPPO N1 which is also 6 inch.
Haha thx freefrank for answering them for me. The phone itself is pretty light, feels much lighter than the Mate 2.
Well under my Google account, I see sync for everything, such as app data, calendar, email and even people. But I don't see contact there. I tried to look into the Huawei store but no luck. Freefrank are you able to get contact sync? if so did you need to do anything special? Please let me know. Is there a googlecontactsync.apk I need to install?
Is there a built-in contacts app that would work? Can you use one that comes with the device to sync your google contacts?

I am going to China next month and would like to pick this up. So the CMCC version is the one I should get if I want to use with US At&t? Does CMCC offer the white color? And is it unlocked? Thanks.

I found a Chinese retailer that ships to the US, the price including shipping using DHL wasn't actually bad, total shipping time was 3-5 days. Actual "wait" time was 45 days. I'm guessing they're taking pre-orders.
From everything I've read so far, this isn't due to be released until Q3 which is the only date I've seen from a lot of the press and Huawei. Does anyone have when these will be sold or at least available to be sold?
I think I'll wait until January to see if I can get a device for myself. By then software and hardware and possibly sourcing issues should be a little better.

Are you sure? All the reviews I've been reading say that the gold version is for the 32Gb version only and that the 16 comes in multiple colors. I'm not doubting you, but the Chinese retailer was only offering the gold in 32Gb. Maybe that was why it was delayed 45 days?

The only color available for the 32GB model is gold, while the 16 GB model comes in black or silver. I must add that it is in VERY limited supply right now, even the official stores don't have any yet until October at the earliest. For those that do have then in stock, only the 32GB version seems to be in stock.
When I was there I saw 4 people bought one while I was testing my unit, and before I left the store they already out of stock and had to turn people away.

I sent you a PM but maybe you didn't see it. If you're willing, would you be able to pick up more than one? i'd pay you for the unit.

I don't have any PM in my inbox, May be I am not senior enough to receive them? I would be more than happy to pick up a couple of units for you. Let me know how you would like to arrange this. Keep in mind they are in VERY tight supply so I am not sure I can find them at the moment.......
And I must say, the adhesiveness is absolutely horrible. I tried to go with the 3 piece skin first, because it seemed nice, and it just wasn't cut out for the actual phone. Plus the corners never stayed down correctly. I tried the full body skin. Corners won't stay down plus the edges on the phone flare up. Just horrible situation right now.
????? r u able to get your money back ?

Should've used Dbrand skins. Haven't failed me yet.
Wow that's really disappointing since I've already order and it's on the way to me to receive by next week.
But still not have even the phone
With that huge delay in availability in Europe seems first will get the skin and the phone have to wait much further.
Totally frustrating.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to order any skins from DBrand.

I don't think they give refunds anyway, just replacements.
Should I bite the bullet and go to DBrand or what?

Just go with dbrand. Mine came out almost perfect....remember to take your time. They are offering 30% off everything.
Btw, have you tried using the hairdrying on your sllickwrap?

I didn't, but I didn't feel like asking females on campus for a hairdryer either. All of the adhesion on the corners was gone anyway.
I received mine as well, this past Monday. I love using these types of skins, but there's always one of two issues. Either the skins themselves are imprecise, or my application is off. I ordered the black carbon fiber. I followed all the directions and made sure to use a hairdryer to apply the edges. In the end, it came out OK, but the edges are a little rough. I still have my full body skin and I just received my DBrand skin, just on case this skin doesn't last.
Here's some shots of my Slickwrap handy work.

Ordered a OnePlus 8 pro case on eBay last week just until OnePlus launched the official ones. When I got it there was an extra hole under the camera for another lens or a flash. I looked at the picture on eBay and sure enough it shows a flash there that the OnePlus doesn't have. I got to looking at some others and they all have it as well. Looked at one I ordered on Amazon and it has it too so I canceled that. What is with all the cases with an extra hole for that flash that doesn't exist?

Some of us have been reaching out to companies about this. It's undoubtedly OnePlus's fault but hopefully they update the case designs. We have confirmation that Spigen is aware and has/is updating them.
Tudia responded to my inquiry seeming fairly interested and said they would forward to their design team. I think it'll get worked out.

It's not the biggest deal but when all your cases have a random hole or extra large cutout it's kind of annoying.

Same here. I've just ordered a slightly different one which according to the photos is without the extra hole.
Sounds like the case developer's jumped the gun or got some duff info from OP. Love the phone though ?

Looks like the took the OnePlus 7 Pro design and added the new flash and sensor on the left and didn't remove the old flash
