Something like this? I've not tried it. Another alternative is to connect your rn3 to a WiFi / Hotspot and turn off the mobile signal of your phone. But I think the 'block everything ' feature should work

Gptech: Thanks a lot bro, I doff my hat for you There are still a lot of features to explore on this phone |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by 40manlappy: 11:09am On Oct 28, 2016 |
GrandMufti: Thanks, the blocklist feature worked! I simply activated it and put a few essential numbers on "exceptions" so that their calls and SMS can come in. |

fury123:If itz not much trouble for you can you give us an Hands on review, various reviews online are not encouraging atall. I will love to know how the battery fares (SOT on heavy usage), the charging time(is it fast charge compatible?), also the camera (Anything unique), lastly how is the build compared to the Redmi Note 3. I just have my reservation about the MTK SOCs. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 1:27pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
scotweezy:Me too, am really suspicious of the mtk socs majorly in the battery department and heat generated, reviews have shown the redmi note 3 performs better, really better than the redmi pro. Also the rn3 seems to be better than the rn4 which uses similar socs (slightly different in clock speed) as the redmi pro. But again would love to see user experience. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 1:30pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
40manlappy:Yea, miui can be very addictive, there are features I haven't really tried But this one you are blocking people's call, hope you never take people money run so? |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by FBS: 2:48pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
It seems to me that the "block sms/call" feature is a hit and miss. Sometimes it just does not work. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by 40manlappy: 3:15pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
Gptech: I just wanted less distractions today and I didn't want to switch off the phone so that I can see my mails and chats. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 4:42pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
40manlappy:Its sometimes needed, its quite understandable. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by fury123: 6:47pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
scotweezy:The camera is very good especially d front camera. The phone fully charges from 0- 100 % in almost 2hrs. The phone feels solid. I don't have d RN3 so i can't compare dem. The fone heats a little up to 42 C while browsing or charging. I have played MC5 nd WWE immortals and d games where super fast. I have experienced no lagging at all. The only problem is the lack of official global rom The battery is very gud. i used it for up to 18hrs b4 it went off. Overall d fone is very fast. And @ the price its a very gud will send pics later |

Accessories include charger, 2 screen protectors.... Pack and rubber pouch..... Hit me up on whatzapp or call 08123288351,price is 100k..... negotiable.... No jokers pls... Location:Sheraton, ikeja |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by GrandMufti: 11:22am On Oct 29, 2016 |
Feyitumi: No disrespect Bro, but incurring a loss of about 60k in these hard times does not speak well. Before you buy a phone, try to read the pros n cons. Weigh your options properly. 60k loss no be beans. Even if it's chicken change to you. My 2 cents |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by 2kurupt(m): 1:23pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
KuliMart: If one disables all that's listed up there at once then what's the joy in using a smartphone? Anybody that's got heating/battery drain issues obviously has a faulty rom flashed. I advice you stick to only official rom releases that's not burdened with too much tinkering. Go to the appropriate section of your device in the miui forum, read other user reviews before flashing. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by 2kurupt(m): 1:35pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
Gptech: scotweezy: I smile whenever I see comments such as these. I bet most of you guys having supposed "reservations" are yet to handle the said MTK phones made by Xiaomi. What I do know is Xiaomi devices are well optimized irrespective of SOC. Well my note 3 MTK that's running Chinese Dev rom has hardly got heating, fingerprint, lagging or battery drain issues for the past couple of months, and yes it can handle anything thrown at it |

Dgunnerz:so why blame Xiaomi and say you won't buy their fan again? |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by heroshark(m): 2:34pm On Oct 29, 2016 |

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Dgunnerz(m): 2:58pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
harmbhrosz:Because I contact their Support team and they didn't respond. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by harmbhrosz(m): 3:31pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
Dgunnerz:it's a hardware related problem and I'm not sure it's a job for their support team, have you tried contacting Kulimart if he can help send it for repair. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by harmbhrosz(m): 3:35pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
Feyitumi:which phone did you buy for 114k and wants to sell for 83k? |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by GrandMufti: 3:45pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
Dgunnerz: They'll advice you to take it to their service center, that's if they even try to respond. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Dank1u(m): 4:01pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
heroshark: Please how did you pay for your order and at what exchange rate. Thanks |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 4:02pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
2kurupt:Hahaha, am typing now with the redmi note 2,same socs as yours, though I suspect you use the 32gig version. I never complained of lag, yes my phone is really fast( that's the major reason I bought it though), and I know xiaomi is good in optimization compared to many brands. Am actually surprised that you don't experience battery drain because others using the Helio x10 complain of experience such, and the heating part especially. Right now my phone is at 37 degrees, the lowest, I have seen is 32 degrees and it can easily get over 40. The only rom I haven't tried is Chinese roms but 1 thing is certain, the battery and heating issues have never been good at any time no matter the rom I used, even tried the 'Bule' custom rom that was supposed to be good with battery. Before I forget the temperature is acting normal now because I just updated some hours back, I know what to expect from tomorrow

Feyitumi:Bros this your price sha. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 4:09pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
fury123:Nice, and thanks for the review, the heating part just confirmed my fears with the mtk x20 socs, not surprised. |
