Oh, end of Line, Okay.

Yes I'll think about this. I will may be wait a little for the moment as a result of all this considerations, saving my pictures on my PC and on the cloud.

Even though to have a second one would have be convenient. I could clone mine, as a preventive measure. For now it works wonderfully.

I remember my experience with the Nexus 2012 tablet, when getting messages from the play store like : "The version of the app is not compatible with your device"!

Not simple. it's an ecosystem. Apps, OS, Hardware-RAM limitations. That's it.

EOL for Xiaomi only, but there is a chance custom rom's will be supported for a longer time.

Even releasing a new Android version could be possible.

That is why I insist that the bootloader could be unlocked.

Ok. First, i still have a Mi A2 unlocked and with A13 PE, before that o had a Redmi 2 also unlocked. Now I use this RN11 6/128GB for 2 years. Travelled a lot and haver great pictures with It. O just updated to HyperOS and hacer absolutely no problem. I did a clean update Just like any custom ROM change (factory reset after update). Battery still lasts 2 days for me. But still o bought a Motorola Edge 30 Neo até A14. This Will be my Secondary phone and think It Will serve me for some 3y. If you're not heavy user, dont Care about latest Android and 6/128GB are OK for you, go ahead. My Mi A2 is still great with 4/64GB. Think RN11 Will be ok with 6/128 for some time.

Important to say that I only use Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook lite, Outlook, my health insurance, some government apps and few other things. So its note like a heavy user with Full Instagram and lots of apps. Take that into account.

Okay, here's what I decided.

Since I haven't had a smartphone for over 10 years, I don't have an old smartphone as a backup and rescue phone.

Used to computers, I know that a breakdown can take a long time to repair, and having a plan B is always a good preventive measure. It means having two working computers.

That's why I thought about buying a second Redmi Note 11 (with 2 GB more RAM this time). You can find it for 170-190€.

I eventually have decided to buy a "RN 13 pro 4G" released in last January (if I'm right). It's 230€. Not much much more then. A case costs 10€.

There are between 5 and 10 dissatisfied people on the sales site under the name beginning by A... (France) but this could be for several reasons, for example lack of knowledge of the people, lack of experience.

I will of course test it thoroughly, and if it does not fit, I return it. The goal is to keep it of course.

The RN 11 has a lot of quality, the battery for example.

I haven't seen any smartphone with the same qualities and such a durable battery. But the "RN 13 pro 4G" was released three months ago, and the camera is noticeably better, it doesn't have a radio but so.

My decision is driven by the desire to have a second phone, a rescue and backup phone. having a better camera is nice but I could live without it. It cost me €240. Yes. if I couldn't do it, I obviously wouldn't do it.

I'm lucky.

A phone is required for OTP codes in some cases. What if you lose your phone? Perhaps you use an Authentication app as an alternative? I do.

You need to look for the backup codes that you printed on a paper... it's not simple.

If you lose the phone, you also lose the SIM card, but you can get another one pretty quickly.

But to fix a problem on a phone can take a while. Hence my decision.

I thought about an alternative : getting an inexpensive tablet. The Redmi Pad SE for example. In my opinion not an optimal idea . I preferred to opt for a decent phone and to keep my R N 11 as a rescue device.

For me a tablet is an extra device, therefore an unnecessary luxury. If I was rich it wouldn't be, but I'm not and I live in a small space. I also have old PCs but they are still functional.

When possible I renovate old recovered equipment, it's inexpensive and it works very well for computers.

It can also do it for a laptop in certain cases (except that the battery does not hold up) but for a smartphone I would not venture

IN the end all this stuff costs us a lot of money, it's certain.

I've canceled my order . I'm not 100% sure of my choice. I 'll take more time to decide. My Note 11 works fine for now.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Elinx:
If the RN11 works fine there is no reason to hurry.

For me this RN11 was a cheap replacement for RN8, that was also good working, but wasn't underwaterproof. My mic and loudspeaker were protesting against it.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Gottogetout:
Yes, Elinx, you're right.

Prices are decreasing too. there are special offers here and there. But my Note 11 is beginning to lag. I guess I will have to reinstall in a next future, I'm afraid. There's something else, it begins to get very hot at some moments. nothing serious.

reboot,n stop apps.

I never charge the battery above 80 percent. it happens sometimes accidentally. i never use it under 20 percent charge.

My first idea was to get another Note 11 in order to have two working phones. but of course I'm now thinking about getting a better and more recent released device. the price differences are not so big. I've then thought about getting the note 13 4G.

The 5G version seems to be better, but ... the price

There's a special offer today on Aliex for this phone ( €230)

but I do not trust much that site for hardware, because the product are sent from far away and I believe that it can be very tricky when having a problem and when sending back the device if you have to.

Another thing I consider : A chain strength is the strength of the weaker chain's element.

The note 13 4G is criticized for a low quality camera, but worst the battery management is not a success and it lasts less than it should according top what I read. I've also read that the sound volume is weak too.

The note 11 is definitely a super device, for a small price, no doubt.. I will think twice before doing a choice on a new phone - pocket computer .

"Evil is hidden in details" .
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Gottogetout:
Hi guys,

I'm annoyed. headache in view :) Why ?

I would like to spend little, getting a second phone. I the idea is to have two working phones.

Option 1: buy a Note 11

why not ? but it came out 4 years ago. that doesn't seem reasonable

Option 2 :

to buy a note 13 released in January

why not ? it is recent but imagine : not as good as the note 11! amazing!

Option 3 : To buy a "Note 13 pro 4G"? around €220 (+€50)

The choice of the processor by RXiaomi is severely criticized. old, slow and impacting to much the battery draining. The experts suggest to better get for example a "Note 13 pro 5G" (< Option 4)

It's well rated

some people complain about the battery draining too quickly too, but this is probably not a real problem and if it is it will be solved or is probably already solved by adjustments or via an upgrade to HyperOS, I imagine

yes but here the price rises to 270€. Wow, It's a lot.

even though some better phones cost much much more. and it's just

may be impossible to get a good decent smartphone for less. I don t know.

so the question becomes complicated for me . I can't make a clear choice for the moment :)

Then I'm putting again the question aside for the moment :)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Gottogetout:
I've ben really fed up, and ended buying the €277 smartphone. note 13 pro 5G.

Is it reasonable ? I 'm not sure but so, that's how it is.

With computers, my favorite philosophy is usually to use old PCs when possible. It appears much more complicated to me with smartphones.

I was up to spend €224 a few days ago, I did the leap to €277 (plus a phone's case of course to come, not expensive. 10 to 15 €).

Ouch, it hurts the wallet.

The choice has not been simple, between prices, android versions, battery capacity, charging option and speed, camera qualities,

Super complicated once you try to consider and compare all the question aspects. Is the smartphone important to me? It seems to be! it wasn't for years. it became, clearly.

Sweet (with goodix) first, then spes.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Elinx:
Why?

A phone is nothing more like a small Android computer.

As long there are safety updates and support for older Andriod versions, imho you can stay with it as long this is possible.

When something gets irritating, breaks, lagging, or app. support stops, you can invest in a new one.

I've been in a store, and seen the device. The screen is too hot. I canceled again. I give up 😄

Hi

A/

Before sending back the "Redmi Note 13 pro 5G" I decided to test it. The fact is I thought that the two ones I saw running in a store were constantly plugged on a charger and with a presentation video running endlessly. hence overheating. Logical.

Here are my personal conclusions on the phone :

All good except two details that made me send it back, sadly. This may be won't bother others, but for me it's no way.

a/ Impossible to get a screen not too blue or not to yellow! I tried all the available ways, you can believe me.

b/ Impossible to get fonts not to big not too small!

To be very precise, (BTW I didn't try to change the font, only the size. may be a possible solution,I don't know) I spent a lot of time, to much, on this two things because I wanted to keep the phone, which is a good device, otherwise.

B/ OVERHEATING issue

I updated my Redmi Note 11 to HyperOS two days ago. following that it Overheated crazily and dangerously! Amazing! And doing nothing.

I did contact the customer service by chat. :No problem at all for Xiaomi!

- Tell me the IMEI, I will check the warranty and you will sent it to us.

- No, it worked perfectly before the update and I'm not the only case on the web. It's not a hardware issue. Are you not aware of that problem?

Luckily I eventually could resolve the problem. I thought I wouldn(t, never. it has been a big relief. The phone was in danger.

1/ I backed up the files

2 / factory reset (WIPING the data too)

3 / I restored the backup

Magic ! I did need some time to believe it. No more overheating, end of the story.

BTW : when you do a factory reset you don't get back to MIUI, oh no! But to HyperOS. Xiaomi has done it that way. But the fact is that the problem disappeared.

I lost some "notes". Not so simple to think about everything . Try to be careful if you ever do that

When wiping the DATA don't forget withdrawing the SIM and Data cards' drawer,

it would wipe also the sd card content. I did this the right way, no problem.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
No external SD card slot? You do realize internal SD is wiped when you wipe data and move to different ROMs, yes? Plus, if the phone conks, and if on the external, the data is safe. Always periodically back up your external card, as well.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
I can tell you after working myself in phone tech support, these folks are seriously hoping for an easy way out of your call. OMG
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Gottogetout:
Hi, SHeist, I actually believe that the woman I got (in North Africa probably but it could be elsewhere. Not in France) was simply unaware of the issue. I have been working in a support like that too, a long long time ago :) and yes, for most of my colleagues customers were all idiots unable to understand anything, by definition.

I actually believe that for the moment Xiaomi is not recognizing the problem.

I've recently read that many Samsung phones owners have now a green vertical line on their phone and same story for the moment. Samsung doesn't recognize the problem. For the moment.

I'm afraid that a long overheating can destroy the hardware, graphic card etc. It's a very serious question.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
If your primary issue was overheating, a factory reset is typically recommended early on. Surprised they did not recommend it. In terms of the screen coloring and font setting, it is possible these are not defects but settings issues.

They may not be experienced in offering useful tech support, and were first-swinging for the warranty "home run."
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Gottogetout:
yes

the font size: the note 13 is bigger than the note 11. this plays a role in the issue. The fonts : you have 2 ( or may be 3) choices. "small, medium, large" . impossible to get something more precise. Hence the problem in my view

The color of the display : there's a scale for the reading more settings. I tried everything. It didn't t work

this two points don't bother everyone. the fact is I wear glasses with a big big correction it's kind of magnification.

I you want I see everything very big. too big. When I read a newspaper it's okay. the column mode is fine for my eyes and brain. On my eBook reader i set big margins for that reason

we are not all the same

Other thing : A "simple" "normal" person will may be say something like "Oh something bothers me with this screen" and that s all.

I'm quite experimented with computers (less with smartphones), hence I really search to try to change the settings and to understand what' goes on.

Hi. Guys, I have been thinking about all the options I had. Keeping with my Note 11 without buying another phone. Buying another brand, buying and using a tablet (it s also a second Android device)

I 've been studying the midrange smartphones an so on. Galaxy A54, Pixel 6A , and other models, I find them disappointing on some points. the battery. The charging time, or fingerprint, or other details.

I've eventually decided to get another Note 11 with 6Gb this time.

Not mandatory at all but my intuition tells me to do so. I really love this device, inexpensive and with many many qualities. Fast charge, excellent battery, fingerprint working fine. Okay it's s going to be the end of line. But there are the custom roms.

I just ordered it. I think it will may be help me in case of trouble.

I do not want to have an expensive top notch phone that cost the price of a good computer in my pocket. The Note 11 is definitely for me an excellent tool.

By the way, HyperOS is nice. No problem at all since I did a factory reset.

Hello, i recently got a Redmi Note 11 with NFC new unopened for 110 EUR. Have spent alot of time unlocking the bootloader, and flashing cdDroid 10 + OrangeFox onto it.

So far it's been pretty great. Been testing RethinkDNS using wireguard VPN.. I think battery is pretty good, i don't have any reference though, like OP my previous phone was a Galaxy S2 :D

Now i'm studying which camera app i should use to get the most out of the camera, some helpful hints in this thread

But for 110 EUR, and running LineageOS with no gapps, microG + Aurora store etc.. and no rooting so far

Pro Tip, if you really want this phone to look and feel like a 500 EUR+ phone, well ofcourse unlock bootloader and run a custom ROM, plus buy the Kalibri Aramid case for it!

I just love the case, it's extremely thin, fits perfectly, just the right grip, and makes the phone look like a high end device :)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Gottogetout:
Hi postafoa,

Certainly a lot of good information in your post. I don't understand everything because I never installed any custom rom yet, I probably will do it one day. I keep it for later.

My 4 GB does great. I bought a second one with 6 GB because it could be better but the 2 extra GB are not really necessary now.

Personally I prefer flap cases, but thanks for sharing. The Note 11 is truly a great tool. the good tool is the one that knows how to be forgotten and that does the job. good battery, fast charger, great audio, great microphone, good screen, a fingerprint detector that works... The strength of a chain is the strength of the weakest link. a device with a better camera BUT with slow charging and/or a less durable battery, with a fingerprint reader that works from time to time, etc. and which costs almost twice more! Oh no! That doesn't interest me at all. The Note 11 is great.

Hi,

Yes, this not expensive phone is fantastic

I have to say nevertheless that mine has some noticeable lags when scrolling in Google News for example, nothing serious, but yes

My second Note 11, with 6 GB, I bought recently and I'm using, doesn't lag at all. I noticed that the battery drains a little faster than the 4 GB Ram version, nothing really serious. All this is logical

I also sometimes, have, on the 6 GB, a known bug when using the volume level buttons : the sound goes immediately back to the lower position or the opposite. a little nerving but not a big big problem either.

I updated both devices toward HyperOS. The 4 GB overheated like crazy after the update, the issue was resolved with a factory reset.

The 6 GB didn't overheat after the update.

I won't install a custom ROM if I can avoid it. I will have to maybe do it one day, I will see.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Hinz_K:
I agree. You can make that phone work great. Camera is the worst part of it, but with GCam it makes good photos. Mine with only 4gb shows no lags in google news. I don't use "memory extension".

Since an update holding the home button suddenly opens google search instead of google assistant.

I haven't found an official way to change this back.

I always use(d) assistant when cooking to start timers with only one finger (or my nose if I have both hands full). Now I manually have to open my alarm clock and set a timer which wastes time and is sometimes impossible to do.

I already googled and didn't find a way to restore the function. But I hope there's some magisk/lsposed fix to hack the functionality back in.

Any advice?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xunholyx:
The easiest way would just be to tap the mic icon in the Google search bar, or you could go to settings > gestures > press and hold power button to long press the power button to bring up assistant.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] d4m4s74:
The mic in the search bar doesn't open assistant, it just googles whatever I say.

Power button does work but it isn't the best for my use case. But thanks for the suggestion.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xunholyx:
It doesn't open assistant, but you can start a timer with it. At least I can with my Pixel 5 on Android 14. My 7 Pro got stolen.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
So, apparently, Google had made the decision to remove Assistant from the microphone option in the google homescreen search bar and holding the home button/bar. Supposedly they deemed it that it was "underutilized" and that "you can just use the hotword or power button" (which is stupid because I manually and willfully turned that off because I actually want a power menu!) -- i personally think they just want to force you to use the hotword and/or they're preparing things for Gemini. I constantly used the mic pressing option; it's quicker, more accurate (opens assistant when I exactly mean to), easy access than hoping my phone is listening. There was glitches and bugs where Assistant wouldn't launch with the hotword! I had to either reboot or re-initialize Assistant!

In any case, even though our phones comes with Assistant built-in, you can still get access to it by installing it from the Play Store. Then, what I've been doing is adding the app shortcut on my homescreen and pressing it and it works like the mic.
