the latest update is 8.1.1.0. so after you update to 8.0.6.0 , you'll still see another update. alternatively, you can download the 8.1.1.0 file from mi website and put it in your memory card for manual update.

Already dem don dey reduce the bezels of the redmi 4, meaning the newer ones will have better screen to body ratio, plus by the time dem announce the redmi note 4x and other new devices both from Xaiomi and other competitors, price must crash! Time to get more confused with options, dem better release a redmi pro x too with snapdragon chipset. cool

Oga am new to buying things internationally... How do I make payments on AliExpress
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by willian10: 12:47am On Jan 19, 2017
I've updated my Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 3GB RAM 32GB ROM Variant to MIUI v8.1.1.0 MHOMIDI (Marshmallow) a few days ago. Here's my detailed review of the update after days of observing new features and bugs.
1. 1 New Wallpaper Has Been Added
2. If first SIM is on 4G, second SIM goes to 3G instead of 2G.
3. The notification panel in combined and separate mode shows four toggles in a row.
4. Settings interface has been changed.
5. Screenshot option added under additional settings.
6. You can now launch camera from lock screen by clicking the volume down button twice.
7. Music Player Interface has been changed.
8. Album Arts (Album Pics) aren't showing up in the Music Player.
9. App installation interface is changed to look like stock Android.
10. MIUI Permission manager has been replaced with stock Android permission manager.
11. UI is very smooth now.
12. Fingerprint sensor is faster now but vibrates when unlocking and there is no option to turn off vibration.
13. On first boot, fingerprint sensor doesn't work, you have to unlock using your PIN, Password or Pattern.
14. Battery is draining quite faster in this version, maybe because the second SIM isn't going to 2G only mode if the first SIM is on 4G or 3G.
15. LED Notification is showing fail in CIT test but it works only if the device is locked. In the changelog it was mentioned that the notification LED was turned off by default in permissions.
16. Security App interface is changed too.
17. Camera Quality is same as before, no change.
18. Fonts are now officially supported. You can download fonts from the Themes app.
Check the screenshots from last to first.

Overall, I think it is a good update but needs some polishing and optimization to make the UI entirely look like MIUI by removing the traces of stock Android.

#13 is a marshmallow feature and not peculiar to miui

#2 is quite unusual, but you can manually set Sim 2 to 2G. however it reverts back to 3G whenever you reboot or switch Sims or enable/disable airplane mode.

#14 is normal with most xiaomi updates. grin battery hardly gets better with updates.

And if you prefer to make/ receive calls via headphone, stay away from this update (wrt rn3)

Firstly, You need either GTB master card or Access Visa card.
The card must be able to make online payment.. you and your bank should solve that.
You need to register an account with aliexpress, either website or you download their app from play store

Secondly... How remote is your location?
If you are in Lagos or other states. Ensure you know the post office closest to you..
Shipping address can be your home address, office or the post office.


Thirdly, how much is the item?
Equal or less than $100 then you are good to go
Ensure you use the shipping method like Aliexpress standard shipping, Post NL, Singapore post.. they are cheap shipping methods.. Also DHL, FedEx, EMS they are fast but you pay for shipping..

I am grateful for the quick reply. It's a touch screen for my Cubot Dinosaur smartphone costing $34. I only have an Ecobank MasterCard. Won't that work? China Post is the courier and they are doing free shipping... Are they owl or should I choose another courier?

If there is tracking and the delivery time is within 20- 35 days... Else use aliexpress standard shipping or POST NL, Singapore post..

You can also check out another store

For now only GTB and Access work for online payment

If it's the 2GB RAM version abeg dey manage it like that..

You can try to disable any power saver...

Also from the developer options
Go to about phone, Tap the Miui version like 5 times to Enable developer
Now go to settings -> system and device -> > developer options >>>> go to App and put off/low the memory optimization

If there is any update try to update...

Or Goto Mi forum if the issue has been solved there before

These were the solution provided to someone on this thread.. grin

Apart from the size and the highest edition(4GB/64GB), don't see much difference between it and the redmi 4 prime sha.

Any other difference(s)?
