My Redmi Note 7 just got an update that enables it to hide the notch at will or select individual apps, I was going to get the Mi 8 Lite for this very reason, I guess patience pays, a little forseeability too.
G mornin, how is call clarity on the RN7 when using earpiece or headset??
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by veekid(m): 7:40am On Apr 12, 2019
MI8 LTE or RN7

RN7. Because it has a bigger battery and a headphone jack.

I've not experienced that. Or maybe that's true and it has been fixed via an update. I'm not sure. All I know is that call audio is loud on my earphone.

Thanks for the concern boss. But do you think xiaomi phone security can be bypassed ? It's locked with password . Can it be formatted ?
If you have Mi Account logged in, you are ok.

Good morning everyone , my redmi note4 has just been stolen this night cry cry . Please any help on how to track it ?
Too bad, I hope you get a better replacement soon

Sorry for your loss, please call your banks so they can block your accounts with them because the thief might not even need your phone but your registered SIM. That's the most important and first thing to do right away, as to retrieve the phone I really dunno maybe others can help.

These days we're more preoccupied with just locking our phones rather than the SIMs as well which is now the new target.

This is why I now advice people to enable SIM lock on their main lines. Any switching off & on of the device or swapping of SIM must require a PIN code.

Remember when PIN code and PUK was popular?

Why didn't you activate the mi cloud when the option was just there?

Snapdragon chipset doesn't allow for easy change of IMEI number and most engineers don't have the resources to go thru the rigorous process.

Yeah that was why I advised blocking his accounts right way, when my Poco was stolen last November I took it for granted that the thieves wanted the phone alone and I got to the bank by 8am asking them to block my account. Long story short, since I didn't have any access to the internet, I got to the office only to see mail debit alerts. The thieves somehow found a way to use my registered SIM to initiate a fresh USSD on my line and withdrew #100k which was the daily limit. If there was no limit, am sure I would still be in the hospital right now if they had withdrawn all the money in my account. It was an eye opener,big one and before anyone ask ,no I don't have my account number or ATM card details on my phone (they can't even access that since my phone is locked with pattern). They used just the SIM.

if only these banks would allow complete deactivation of the USSD service.
I actually achieved it on my first bank account. The sim linked to the account has no USSD service after I went to them to apply for deactivation. Now if you type in any USSD related activity, the network will tell you that the sim card is not linked to any first bank account, meanwhile its the same sim I use in getting OTP from first bank even up till today..


UPDATE.

I just tried the *894* code on my sim and saw this. Not sure if they have activated it again.

Same poo happens to me last year march when my redmi note 4 was stolen from me on my way home in the evening. I call customer care to block my line immediately I got home, but it took them like 30 minutes to pickup. Long story short, I went to the bank next morning and it was not funny. 100k gone. I request for how the amount was drawn, they said through USSD, but I've never use bank USSD on my phone before. They said yes the thief activated it for me, since my register SIM is with him. All this operation happens within 10 minutes. The phone is still useless with him till date. SIM lock is the way forward, Airtel customer service advice.

I actually wanted to get RN7PRO with sd675 but 4gb 64gb variant, but Redmi didn't release 4gb 64gb variant, only 6gb 128gb variant and its over 93k so I just quietly focused on RN7 4gb 64gb is less than 70k on aliexpress, but it has a nice gcam port and the gpu and that in RN7PRO have the same capacity. So lets just chill with RN7



The Indian redmi note 7pro comes in two variants
4/64 and 6/128gb but Its only on Indian sites
