[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack_21:
The only problems for me are:

- Rear camcorder fps drops during recording in non optimal light conditions (from 30 to about 16 fps with visible lags). This issue could be solved by a new build of the camera libs... When xiaomi will work on it??

- When connecting aux cable to a powered audio system (like PC speakers or car stereo) the phone will produce a very heavy clickering noise. This noise starts at boot and also in recovery mode, so actually it's not a software problem. It's like that audio chip inside the phone and the electricity power that feeds the speakers goes in conflict.

A workaround when you hear the clickering sound is to remove the aux cable from the stereo side and re-insert it. It will temporary solve the problem and you can listen high quality sounds from your speakers :)

Good fast phone.

Got this as a update to my Jiayu S3. Came with the Chinese dev rom so I flashed the Global equivalent and found it still didn't include Australia but worked and livable with.

Didn't like the stock launcher so installed Nova which is what I usually use but currently trying GO; might stop using Nova.

Then I wanted root access (which was built into the Jiayu) so I could install Australia via MoreLocale 2. Flashed TWRP recovery and root via SuperSU.

Still wasn't happy with the final package and flashed Cyanogenmod rom onboard. Much better.

I may be picky but I guess the conclusion is: Great hardware, let down a little by so-so firmware/software. Still a good value phone but ....
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcc2:
Update.

Although I liked the Cyanogenmod rom, I found it was considerably slower than the Mi roms, and some of my favourite games would not install.

Now using the most recent stable global rom from Mi instead of the developer versions.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PytSkee:
I have had my RN2 for a few weeks now. First thing I did was to remove Gearbest's insufferably slow and malware-infested ROM by flashing TWRP and the latest official global developer MIUI. Also rooted via SuperSU, and finished it off by running the custom CPU handling script via Automate that xmister so kindly made for us. I attached screenshots of yesterday's battery performance; it made me very happy.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Lyno:
My biggest issue with this phone is it will only do 2G in the US. Mine only has LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40 ,41 enabled. Nice phone if always close to wifi but on the open road, only 2G. I guess when they say the Redmi Note 2 is not marketed for the US, they mean it.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
Battery life is good for some people but terrible for others. Search on MIUI forums. Many people struggle to get 2 hours SOT. But people here are saying its good for them. I am one with bad battery. It drops at 1% per minute when playing games like Boom Beach. or Clash of Clans and heats up even when downclocked to 1.4Ghz. I am guessing its GPU related? Also same issue when using in car GPS.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidaem:
Which ROM do you have?

Battery is pretty good on 5.12.10.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy82711:
bet they are using a bodged aosp rom

tried loads and battery was terrible

on the latest smiui rom i get 5-6 hours
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbage:
Mike Lyno, I'm also in the US, and I have 3G service no problem via AT&T. Even if you are on T-Mobile, I think you should probably still get 3G service on the 1900 MHz frequency. Anyway, I'm not sure why you only get 2G service, but 3G is certainly possible.

I'm not so worried about LTE--I am generally around wifi so big bandwidth is usually not a problem. When I am not near wifi, and using cellular data service, 3G bandwidth is usually completely sufficient. Sure, I wouldn't mind if LTE did work in the US, but for me it is not a dealbreaker.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Lyno:
Well I'm currently using Ting and it uses 1700/2100 for 3G which my phone doesn't have. T-Mobile supports 1900 for 3G in some areas. The info on gearbest (where I bought it) for this phone was misleading or should I say didn't provide any info on the Bands (and I was too stupid at the time to know what to look for). I like the phone since I got rid of miui and all the malware/bloatware crap (that came pre-installed as some kind of a joke I guess) with an AOSP rom but if I had it to do all over again, I would have bought something else that had all the right bands functional.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crim Soukyuu:
I don't have any problems with this phone either. I was using the 5.11.20 rom until recently and had some problems with playing music over headphones (echo, lack of bass even with all effects off). Now I updated to 5.12.25 and not only did it fix that, but the phone feels much snappier, too. Battery life stayed about the same - 4h SOT on average, 5:13 SOT max, about 3 days of battery life according to GSam. That's more than plenty for my taste.

If I use the CPU to the fullest (h264 10-bit playback), I'm losing about 9-10% per hour - so it's 10h of software video playback, much more than the result GSMArena got with their 6:37h of playing an 8bit video (which uses the much more efficient hardware video playback). The phone's well worth the money, and if you're using a clean ROM then you won't have any issues.

I was also a bit put off by the iOS feel of the launcher, but by now I don't want anything else. A matter of personal preference, certainly.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbage:
Hmmm, sorry to hear about this unsatisfactory result for you. As you have learned by experience (like many of us...), the main thing that many Chinese vendors like GearBest have going for them is simply price, and also the basic fact that they can procure these Chinese phones that don't normally make it to the US market and other places. But their customer service--the whole range of it including accurate product descriptions--is sometimes not up to expectations. Then again, even the official Xiaomi page for the RN2 is not completely accurate because it says the RN2 has GSM coverage on bands 2, 3, and 8 (i.e. 1900, 1800, and 900 MHz). But if you fire up Engineering Mode, it's also clear that GSM band 5 (i.e. 850 MHz) is also available. If Xiaomi, the manufacturer, can't even get it right, not much hope for the vendors who often just copy specs.

Anyway, regarding cell band coverage, it can be pretty complicated for somebody just getting into it--at least that was my own experience. Fortunately, there are now a bunch of helpful websites available to navigate the muddy waters. For example, try http://www.willmyphonework.net/. It's too late for you now given that you have already purchased the RN2, but if you dial in all the details there, yeah, it tells you that the RN2 will only have 3G coverage with Ting. One option for your would be to change providers, for example, to an AT&T MVNO that would provide 3G bands that are compatible with the RN2. Obviously not ideal, but maybe workable?
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibeqa:
Ok people, reading this thread I see that you are not aware that Xiaomi has published Official Global Rom for Redmi Note 2. You might give it a try, I for starters am very satisfied with it (more than I was with latest Xiaomi.eu unofficial Rom). Also, battery life is very good!

Cheers and Happy New Year

How good is the battery?
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PytSkee:
5.12.10 official global beta gets me 6-7 hours SOT on WiFi and 3G (on T-Mobile networks) and HSPA+. I run Xmister's custom CPU handling which greatly helped battery life as well. Makes me quite happy.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibeqa:
Very good, especially after android security patch - December update. With moderate usage I could stretch 2 days ;)

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibeqa:
In the MIUI download page it is written that you have to wipe everything. When I flashed it apparently I forgot to wipe something (don't know why :)) and I had some issues, it looked like modem was not working. I did factory reset [there I had an option to erase SD (not the ext. SD) so I checked it]. After factory reset I had no problems.

Oh I forgot, I had backup...

5.12.10 Weekly

After a battery calibration (complete discharge and recharge) I had this result

with WiFi / 2G use

The problem is that the result is not always the same, as sometimes it discharges very quickly and sometimes not)

That ROM has also the problem that sometimes WiFi disconnects without motives and you must reconnect it manually :(
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PytSkee:
That's weird, I've never had that problem with the same device specs. Do you have anything abnormal running or disabled in the background?
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feds64:
Personally, I used Redmi Note 2 and currently using Redmi Note 2 Prime and Redmi Note 3 for testing, Among the three, I still prefer RN2 Prime, good battery life and the 10% processing power is a bonus to the flawlessness of the phone....
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack_21:
Maybe now the battery is stabilising. In fact I can reach at least 5/5.5 hours without problems.

WiFi is a little bit unstable... With older ROMs no problem. But for now I will keep 5.12.10 for great battery wife
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PytSkee:
You know what... maybe karma, maybe just bad luck, but today my WiFi randomly disconnected a few times. I'm a little mad, but it's also really funny. But yeah, I totally agree; my biggest problem with this weekly is that sometimes the lock screen doesn't show the music preview when it's playing :(

Hardware wise the phone is great for the price with the only hardware issue I have being the 4G reception is worse than on my Lumia 640XL.

Software wise MIUI is OK overall, but the latest global stable rom is a bit crappy and laggy
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibeqa:
Maybe because the phone does not support all 4G bands of your country?
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_mouse81:
It supports both Band 3 & Band 5 which are the 4G Bands used by my provider. Reception and network throughput are just worse on the RN2 than on the 640XL which seems to indicate the antennae are not as good. Not a big deal, but it's worth mentioning as it might be important to some
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Lyno:
Don't know how you have band 5. Every other Redmi Note 2 (including mine) that I've read on only has bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_mouse81:
Well damn, looks like you're right. That would explain it.

I guess that's what I get for trusting the info on the miui forums instead of doing proper research.

Hey guys,

So I flashed CM 12.1 finally and its AWESOME :) Really loving it! Big ups to Quarx and contributors.

I do however have an issue with my internal storage now. I keep checking and its freaking me out actually. I only see 3.9GB space usable all in all. I have the 8GB model and before it used to show me 8GB. But since doing Lollipop update I can only see 4GB.

I ran various tools like Disk Usage etc and it still only shows 3.9GB.

I connected via terminal and ran 'df' and I see all the normal partitions, but then /data and /mnt/shell/emulated are both the same stats showing 3.9G total size.

Can anyone confirm this is correct?

If not, what can I do to fix it? I found this howto for a Nexus, is it a similar procedure?

Even under Settings -> Storage I only see 3.87GB total space, is that right? After moving almost all my apps to the SD Card the internal storage is almost full already. WTF.

Thank you for the assistance :)

Now that Three UK has officially declared support for 800Mhz VOLTE on the Xperia Z5 I was wondering if anybody tried connecting to 800Mhz frequency.

I have got a EE sourced Z5 and I wonder whether it will connect to 800Mhz if I fash it with Three software.
[Xperia Z5 General] sovanyio:
If you flash it, possibly. There's no harm in flashing to find out and flashing back if you aren't satisfied.
[Xperia Z5 General] olisun39:
no change..

It keeps connecting to H+ and occasionallt 0 to 1 bar of 4G.
[Xperia Z5 General] sovanyio:
Sounds like you're just in a bad coverage area, but there might be a certificate required for VoLTE on 3 that isn't on the EE firmware, not sure how its implemented outside of the US
[Xperia Z5 General] olisun39:
I installed the Three firmware but I haven't done a factory reset as yet.
[Xperia Z5 General] sovanyio:
I don't know why you would need a factory data reset. But if you want to go ahead :p
[Xperia Z5 General] jeremy_inc:
Your phone should connect to the best band provided by your network by default, I don't think it's going to matter what European firmware you use. If you are on Three I would flash the Three firmware anyway so you can use VOLTE when it comes out.
[Xperia Z5 General] olisun39:
Looks like the update is arriving in mid December even though the website says otherwise.
[Xperia Z5 General] olisun39:
I did a reset of my phone last night and today I noticed I can connect to the 800Mhz and actually use it.

I don't have VOLTE but it works as a data network

Use the flashtool to automatically download the firmware for you.

It downloads and prepares the files for you to flash your Z5.

[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
That's the gist of it, yeah. You've just flashed your phone with the 3 customisation so that's who updates need to come through.
[Xperia Z5 General] chrisully:
Cool thanks again ?
[Xperia Z5 General] olisun39:
You will have to factory reset your phone because you will get a small system update from Three, which I think enables the 800Mhz network.

Not sure if it supports VOLTE but my phone doesn't show the VOLTE arrows but I have made calls while on 4G.

Or you can try to connect to the 800Mhz 4G network by going to a area where the 1800Mhz 4G signal is weaker.

Real scenes will make it much better.

Also, some effects, specially in the aquarium/marine apps made them even less real.

Leaves floating over the scenes (and not all apps allow changing the effects) are not real too..

Otherwise, all work great and the scheme of ads shown before download seems a good inovation. Hope ads don't polute the normal use of the apps.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RemnantKing2:
Not sure if you're rooted, but there's specific apps to help narrow it down, for that hopefully someone else more knowledgeable can chime in. I do know however that both Facebook and Facebook Messenger are horrible when it comes to maintaining good battery life. So an option would be uninstalling those and logging into Facebook through Chrome or any other Web Browser that you use. And now it gives you the option to notify you through the browser for new notifications.

I'd also reboot the phone once you've done that, charge to 100%, take it off the charger and reboot again and let it drain. Give it a charge cycle or two and so how it goes.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alon3232:
I would recommend GREENIFY app , even for non-rooted devices you can manually or even automatically force close any apps which are not necessary to remain active all the time (e.g WhatsApp and messaging apps should not be included). You'll be surprised how many apps keep running and using cpu and network resources even after you "close" or stop using them.

I join the recommendation about FB and FB messenger - same for Instagram - these are memory hogs. Your situation is absolutely not right - please report - would like to hear how you are doing.
