I just got my redmi 3 and i was very excited about it. It has very nice look, and it has good grip in hands. I was suprised with battery life. I tried to drain battery in one day and after more then 8h of SOT, that include 4h of heavy use, i was at 20%.

So this phone can survive 2 day of heavy use.

Here is my unboxing and gaming video.

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] adddaamo:
After couple days of use, I can also write short review of my Redmi 3. My previous Android phones were MotoX, Razr I, Nexus 5, Huawei Mate 7, LG G2 - so that's my "reference point".

Phone design an looks

Back looks (and feels) awful - mostly because of added metal, this composition of plastic at top and bottom and metal in the middle looks and feels cheap, metal back is unpleasant to hold in hand - it's slippery and cold (it's winter here). I'm quite sure that this phone was designed with plastic back, but at the pressure from LeTv (whole metal body) Xiaomi added this metal "back". It's a pity because those plastic fragments at top and bottom feels very solid - actually more solid than the metal, they looks much better than metal, and they provide better grip.

Front is mostly screen, with capacity buttons and quite large frames around phone - unfortunately this also makes looks of this phone quite "unattractive", and lack of highlight of capacity buttons is weird.

Compared to my other phones (or Xiaomi Mi4/Mi4I) this isn't best looking phone (quite ugly frankly) - but there is whole lot of phones (even flagship devices) that looks worse.

Hardware

Screen is quite good. I've compared it face-to-face with LG G2, and it was at the same level (even considering that this phone screen has 720p resolution). It's less "saturated" and colored, but brighter. I've tried hard to spot difference between 720p and 1080p resolution in both phones and it was so subtle, that I was having really hard time to see any difference. So screen and it's resolution is a big plus (for me).

Perfromance isn't bad either, it's slower (obviously) than Snapdragon 800 in LG G2, and apps starts little slower on Redmi 3, but overall phone is quite fluid only with occasional "hiccups" (sometimes phone stops being responsive for 1-3 seconds). CPU used in Redmi 3 (Snapdragon 616) is much slower in single-thread-operations (2-3 times slower) which is visible in apps installation time (for example) - but in daily usage - performace and phone fluidity is good enough for me.

Camera is average. It captures quite good photos in good lightning conditions, but when sky is cloudy, or you're trying to take phone in closed room - photos have a lot of noise, and are "fuzzy".

Battery life

This is something that earns separate point here. Battery life is extremely good, frankly speaking is phenomenal in a smartphone world. I've have had Mate 7 which was reviewed for good battery, but Redmi 3 beats it without sweating at all. Unplugged at morning, after whole day of usage - which is about 6 hours of screen on time (mostly browsing, watching movies, little gaming by my son, couple phone calls) - I've had at evening 63% battery left ! This phone has so ****ingly good battery life, that it's hard to express it. It beats LG G2 three-four times at battery life or SOT. For me this was whole point of buying this phone, and I'm delighted.

Software

It's MIUI with all it's benefits and disadvantages.

So yeah, if you value battery life in a phone - you have to have this one (especially if you consider the price).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAGE-008:
I bought a brand-new Nexus 5 a few weeks ago. However it came with a 0.85A wall charger which is LG branded... and some 'generic' cable that was included too. Used it twice, but it took around 8-10 hours just to charge 80% of it. I plugged my old Galaxy Ace USB cable to the LG charger and it reduced to two and a half hours, same with my alternate charger from the aforementioned phone (5.0V + 0.7A).

But this led me to a question: Is using alternate chargers with < 1.2A of output a risky way to charge my Nexus 5 battery? I saw somewhere that it might even damage the circuit board (a rare case) and I'm a bit worried about it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Using a charger with a lower amperage output will take longer for the phone to charge. Also, using a cheaper cable will also lengthen the charge time as the cable can pass the full amount of power to the phone. This has been my experience with using oem cables vs dolls store cables me chargers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAGE-008:
But... Will a Samsung wall charger with 0.7A of output damage my phone if I use it as my main charger? Because I also have a chinaphone which came with a bad charger and the Samsung one works fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
No, the Samsung charger @ 0.7A will not damage the phone. I use a 1.0 A and 2.0 A Samsung charger with my N5 and it has been fine for months and months.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAGE-008:
With the Samsung 0.7A charger, battery gets charged in 2:10 hours. I still don't understand it since I came from a low-end Samsung device which could complete its charge in about three hours (and that one had a 1500mAh battery...)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grushteniak:
This is a tricky question, no doubt about it.

IMO, the cable quality is way more important than the current output (0.7 A, 0.85 A, etc).

I have a Samsung S4 charger with its cable (it seems very well built and it's thicker than other cables) and my N5 goes from 10% to fully charged in less than 3 hours.

Funny facts - happened to me:

- I had a very cheap cable (probably from China) that came with a battery bank. Surprisingly, it was the fastest way to charge my phone - reached almost 2.0 A. Later I found the trick: this cable doesn't have all the four wires, it only had two (positive and negative, without the data wires). I believe the data wires is used to perform some kind of amperage control; without it, no control was done and led to a very fast (probably dangerous) charging. I don't use this cable anymore, chances are that this nasty cable screwed up my notebook battery :(

- My N5 is almost two years old. Recently I had a problem with the Power button, the internal contact of the switch on the board was stuck 'pressed' and this led my phone to an endlessly force-reboot. I discovered this behavior after some google search and one of the possible causes of it is exactly the usage of a non-default / faster charger, it said that this could melt something - SOURCE

It makes sense, but I can't confirm this. I was able to fix this by smashing the phone on a table a few times (lol) and I'm still using a non-default charger :cool:

Can anyone confirm / say something about these facts?

For those who wants to see the diference between cables and chargers, give this app a try:

Play Store - Ampere

This app is a current meter, I use it on a regular basis and it is pretty reliable - the dev it's a XDA member and this app can be discussed here

Hope this helps!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerosum0:
You can not harm a phone with a 5 volt charger. The phone takes the amps it needs. More is better than less. I use 2 amp, 5 volt ones. As has been said the usb cable is the key thing. The better quality the better charge.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colroe:
I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7" with Android 5.0.2. Quite often on the bottom right hand corner of the screen, generally when in a web page, a red lined square appears. Nothing in the square, other than the underlying page, and if I leave it it shrinks the page. If I get it quick enough with the cursor and move the top line of the square upwards it turns blue and the page stays full size. My guess is that it is something to do with multiple screens, but I have not located anything to tell me how to switch it off or to use the function. Pls help, and please excuse my lack of appropriate terminology, so I hope you can understand the issue.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amusingduck:
Hello All,

I received an OTA update last night, which I accepted and installed. The phone rebooted, and began installing the update. After a while, "Error" was displayed underneath the android alien.

I rebooted my phone, and received a message similar to 'There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.'. It still prompted me to enter my password, like normal when I power on my phone, which I did. The screen then went black, and I have been unable to power it on since.

The phone was stock, not rooted, no custom bootloader/rom/anything.

I have tried every combination I can think of, power, power+vol down, power+vol up, power + vol up + vol down. Charger plugged in, charger unplugged. Nothing seems to work.

The phone was running perfectly with no issues before this OTA update. Is there any way I can get my phone working again without RMA'ing it?

Thanks

Tey getting into the stock recovery and wiping your cache partition.

If that doesnt help then you should repair your cache partition as it might have gotten corrupt.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I think your only option is to RMA the device, even if you could get into the bootloader you wouldn't be able to flash anything because you never unlocked it, plus you can't unlock it without enabling the OEM unlock setting in Developer Options.

[General Questions and Answers] GUESTK0020:
Hello..

I think ist better for you to install a custom recovery frist

after that you can make a nandroid backup using the custom recovery...this is important..because you will messed up..it will event android guru messed up their device once a whaile..

after you have the nandroid backup..you can flash any custom ROM for your devices..to find a devices please use the search bar at the top..

after you gain enough knowlage to build a custom ROM you can compile it for your devices..but for starter I highly recommend you to use any custom ROM for your device first

I do know we are a minority here on XDA, compared to the whole mobile phone market. However I also know that many of us are asked when a friend or a relative tries to decide to a new device. So we actually have the power to influence enough amount of customers and shape the market. I, for one, have been doing this for many years. Now, there is no single person in my life with a Samsung device. I have talked them into other devices.

I know that this is a technical forum and needs to be well-organized. But in this case, just to show the power of us, customers, a few extra topic wouldn't hurt anyone.

I remember the times when companies backing off to "ok, we will honor the warranty because it is a manufacturing fault, so it has nothing to do with your device being rooted" and giving new phones to the rooted users couple years ago. And the reason behind it was the topics here, on XDA, about many people having the same problem.

So, long story short, showing how we are feeling about our devices and their companies (and also carriers sometimes) is necessary in the way I see things.
