Is there a way to enable Double-tap-to-wake on global stable MIUI 8 without a custom kernel? I would really like to have stock reading mode and color chooser and still use D2TW.

There is an app on the play store, which enables dtw on any device. It just needs to run in the background, so lock it in the RAM while using it.

Guys,

I am using Redmi Note 3 MTK version with locked boot loader. I got the permission to unlock the bootloader, but mi unlock tool gets stuck at 50 percent. I have read that I need to be on china developer rom in order to be able to unlock bootloader. Do i really need to be on developer rom? if so, i do i go about flashing the developer rom? can i use the updater app on the phone?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bar4:
give it a try, u won't know until u try, http://en.miui.com/download-301.html , install develover rom, yes u can install through apdater app, my phone model snapdragon, i install developer rom before unlocking bootloader, and for me i have no problem at all, after i've got permission from xiaomi i can unlock bootloader in a minute, in two days i already go back and forth from custom rom and ori rom many times (bootloader locked again) but since i got permission to unlock i can unlock bootloader again in a minute w/out any problem
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PoseidonKing:
Hi

You cannot flash developer ROMs on top of global ROMs or vice versa from the updater app anymore. The firmware lock is on and Mi has forbidden users to update from the updater as it no longer switches from dev to global or vice versa.

since when? i just did it w/out any problem, i can install stable rom then switch to dev rom and install stable rom again then install dev rom again via updater app two days ago when i'm still on MIUI Rom, before bootloader unlocked and root device i can install any miui rom (Version: V8.1.1.0.MHOMIDI (MIUI8) or Version: 7.1.12 (MIUI8) ) my phone model is SD/kenzo, i don't know if MTK or Kate can or no, that's why i said try it you don't know it will work or no if you don't try,

Hi

It does not work on MiUi 8.0.6.0 and later versions. And I am talking about kenzo too. There is an error on the updater app saying 'Package Verification Failed'.

Best way to unlock the bootloader. Using Snapdragon miui 8
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PoseidonKing:
Hi there folks

I am facing a strange issue from today noon. Though I've disconnected the headphones off my RN3 Kenzo, the phone seems to think that it is still connected. The problem is- I can only answer to calls if I'm in loudspeaker, else I cannot listen to the voice of the person on the other side.

Phone Status:

RN3 Kenzo SD version

MiUi 8.0.6.0 Lollipop

No tampering done like flashing TWRP/unlocking/rooting etc

Headphones that I was using- Samsung H130

In hope of quick help.

Thanks

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Njaiker:
Try cleaning it with a Q-Tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and see if it goes away..If still the problem persists try flashing another ROM and check, if that didn't work..Maybe your headphone jack is damaged and you may have to go to service center..

This happened with me on my first phone it in that somehow the connection on headphone jack shorted out.. they had to replace the whole motherboard..

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Theoutbackdream:
I recently ordered my Xiaomi Redmi note 3 pro, and I was interested to see if it was fake. So I went to xiaomi's authentication site and it showed that the Imei was not valid. Also, the S/N, I can only find a short numbered S/N, which is 8 characters long.

Curious to make sure that device is not fake, I decided to search farther into it. there was a Mi app from Xiaomi, that uses a qr code to test if the device is valid, using jd.mi.com. This returned that the device was an authentic device. Now i'm wondering..

What should I do with the phone? It appears this phone is the real deal, but the Imei is not valid..

Thanks in advance...!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Njaiker:
In your case.. Probably your phone is legitimate..But as you've ordered it overseas..They must've flash the vendor ROM and that may have messed up your IMEI..

I bought mine in India from an Indian seller so I have no experience on this..But that is my best guess

Official unlock..

Thanks again
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Njaiker:
I missed out on "unofficial way". Well, unofficial unlocking has two downsides that it relocks itself, you have to modify the ROMs before flashing. . And it's unofficial (if you count that as a downside too)..Try unlocking your phone officially..You won't face a problem like that again..

I find unofficial good in case the user wants to flash unofficial recovery, root the ROM he/she is using or add some tweak to it.. It's not good for jumping from ROM to ROM..

In case you wanna know..My phone is officially unlocked :victory:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PoseidonKing:
Maybe it is all happening because I forgot to flash the lazyflasher zip when I flashed the recovery...... It wasn't happening on my friend's RN3 when I unlocked it, so I guess this is the issue. I still got a question, do I need to flash lazyflasher each time I flash something?

Thanks

PoseidonKing
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Njaiker:
You need to flash lazy flasher everytime you update the ROM.. I don't know about other scenarios when flashing something over the current ROM..But as it's a risk free zip file..It won't harm flashing it everytime..

By the way..Why not use ZCX if MIUI from official sources is in use??.. I never had to flash lazyflasher..And I got OTA working too..

Hello, I just bought this device now I have a question.

Official Bootloader Unlock method vs Unofficial method?

Are there any pros and cons between them? I've skimmed through the threads and I've seen some stuff that you can only do with Officially unlocked bootloader(like this one for instance: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708)

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

Also, are there any warnings and things that I need to watch out for? (I am forever traumatized of my AT&T Samsung S5. So here's the story: I never went to XDA to read about the device when I got my Samsung S5 and updated my phone to Lollipop from Kitkat. Then BAAM!I lost the ability to root my phone forever. It was already too late when I found out after going here in XDA. That phone has no way to unlock its bootloader. I suffered the years I owned that phone.)

Now, I would never want something like this to ever happen to me again, so I swore to myself that everytime I get a new device. I would ask this same question to the device's respective sub forum.

So, are there any warnings and things that I need to watch out for like for example: Not updating/downgrading to a specific firmware after X, Things that shouldn't be flashed at some points? blah blah blah etc, etc,etc

boot time too long for redmi note 3 pro after unlocking bootloader. Every time i boot into system or recovery boot time takes 5 to 10 minutes to boot. Can anyone help me with this?? is the problem because of encryption?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Njaiker:
I don't think there's anything to worry about..I would just suggest you to be careful while flashing and switching ROMs.. Rolling back, updating, unbricking can be done and many bad situations can be evaded by using MiFlash and flashing fastboot ROMs through it.. It's like a panic button, it brings your device back to zero from anywhere..

The only bad situation that I know about happens while flashing ROMs when somehow people get careless about flashing ROMs and mess up there fastboot mode(I saw someone managed to replace their stock fastboot with cyanogen one).. Another one is when you fail to flash a fastboot ROM and the phone is stuck in a wrong EDL mode..Then you need a deep flash cable.. I would recommend to have an extra USB cable just in case, asmaking a deep flash cable needs splitting a USB cable (it can be done without splitting it, but it's a lot of hassle to do it that way..Plus splitting method provides you with a permanent deep flash cable that can be used later)

And for your first question..I would say if you have patience (lots of it) then go for official method..As firstly it's official..So you get lot more support from developers secondly, in unofficial unlocking you need to modify the ROM everytime before flashing (there is a workaround, but then it's one extra step)

Lastly, if you want to flash another ROM just for a test run or for any other reason and plan of rolling back to MIUI..DO REMEMBER TO REMOVE SCREEN LOCK AND THEN MAKE A BACKUP.. other ROMs mess up the lock and you'll be stuck with a fully working phone with all your data in it, but you won't be able to unlock it..

Update : there is a workaround for the last one you just need to type "rm /data/system/locksettings.db" in terminal in TWRP.

i unlocked bootloader in 3 days officially and i'm on MM when i unlock bootloader, day 1 i apply to unlock bootloader -- two days later i've got the approval to unlock -- then i reboot my phone to fastboot mode (i already sign into Mi Account and also Enable ADB interface before reboot to fastboot mode) -- open Miflash unlock tool -- login into Mi Account -- Press Unlock -- Bamm --> Bootloader Unlocked -- Done. I'm on Developer Rom when i unlocking bootloader, i try to flash Nougat Rom many times but camera not working at all so i go back to Miui Rom (bootloader locked again) at that time when roll back to Miui Rom i flash stable global rom but to unlock bootloader again it's easier no need to ask permission again ( with this i can say that i can unlock bootloader both when i'm on developer rom and stable rom) by the way my phone is Snapdragon 2/16, try to factory reset before u unlocking bootloader so ur phone completely clean, then try to install developer rom which is they says more easier to unlock bootloader http://en.miui.com/download-301.html the key to success is don't afraid and never stop to try. goodluck...

Which one?

Hi, so I'm looking to buy a new phone, and I thought giving Xiaomi a shot, since it seems they are the kings of "best bang for the buck" category.

But damn there are many models and the names don't mean anything. I logically thought that note 4 is better than note 3 and to buy that one, but then I saw that they are about the same maybe even note 3 being better: benchmarks are pretty much the same, snapdragon is less battery hungry and has better support, note 3 has a better camera...

So which one do I take? I was also thinking about redmi pro.

How is this phone in day to day use, doe it have some glitches not found in any reviews?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Njaiker:
Note 3 is better than 4 unless you want better looks. Snapdragon 650 is better than the Snapdragon 625 present on Note 4. Note 4 provides more RAM but I guess 4GB is an overkill for a budget phone. So, if looking forward to Note3, go for Snapdragon version.

If you're considering Redmi Pro. Only drawback is that it has a Mediatek processor, if you're ok with that then it's the better choice. It has a better camera (Dual setup, great bokeh shots), better screen (AMOLED, although not manufactured by Samsung but still it's better than LCD), USB type C, plus it looks great..

For Note 3 I can tell you day to day usage is awesome. It has great battery life (Day starts at 8:00 from 100% in the morning and it lasts itself till the next day's evening with my normal usage, as I am writing this, I have 80% battery left after a little bit of online multiplayer gaming and web surfing, SOT is 7 hrs avg.), Powerfull processor, Snappy interface with, no lag. Only drawback is bad WiFi reception, it's just WiFi for some reason..Not Bluetooth, not cellular, just WiFi

Hi everyone,

I am waiting for my new Redmi Note 3 (Kate) to arrive any day soon and I'm looking at my options with ROMS. I have some questions that I have struggled to get clear answers for and was wondering of you could all help?

1. I seen someone mention somewhere that all Kate models have the Goodix FP scanner? Is this correct?

2. If so, I've noticed some of the Nougat ROMs mention that they don't support Goodix FP. Is this true for all Nougat ROMs or are there any that do support it?

3. I see that all the Nougat ROMs have issues with the camera. I'm guessing it's a driver issue with Nougat? Is it a lost cause or are any devs actively trying to resolve the issue?

Thanks!
