Earlier with Citibank Card on Lazada can get for $253. Citibank voucher last I checked ran out.

hi, just want to check, i install the lmc8.4 which is an apk file so that is a camera app? How do I install the XML file after that?
Type #load_xml on the telegram chat, rose bot will provide instructions. Sorry I can't help in detail as it is specific to the version that you downloaded.

Hi all, I just got my F4 migrating from X3 NFC.

First scare after I got my phone.

My 67W charger didn't work, phone doesn't charge.

I tried the new charger on a spare phone which doesn't have 67W fast charging, so i thought it would charge albeit at a slow rate.

It didn't. :eek:

Now i got a phone that doesn't charge and a charger that doesn't work.

luckily the phone start to charge after i connect it to my 33W charger from my X3 NFC. when it finally started up i switched to the 67W charger and it now works. 😥

Conclusion: 67W fast charge doesn't work on flat battery, neither did my spare phone which wasn't able to support fast charge of up to 67W.

Any new users of F4, don't freak out like me. give it some time to charge.

Wait for at least a good 10 to 15 mins plug in to the 67w charger before it starts charging.
The batt quite solid, now still at 100% batt life span on accu battery app.

Got the POCO F4 equivalent but higher spec (12G + 256G) RedMI K40S on China ROM at $320 from taobao to replace my old secondary Android phone for app development work and testing. Immediately unlock and flashed to custom bootloader and ROM. Really fast and snappy without the bloated MIUI.

For some who think that the adaptive brightness function is not working well, it is due to the default protective temper glass that comes with the phone.

Just replace it with a better quality temper screen protector like those from UGREEN. Immediately you will realise the adaptive brightness feature works as it should.

Hope it helps.

The reason why I decided to get this phone (instead of a 13 Pro) even though it was an older phone is because it is well supported by several custom ROMs like pixel experience, pixelOS, LineageOS and MIUI.eu, etc. For those who want better camera features, just install the Gcam apk, and load the user configuration file if the default settings does not work for you.​

That tym 9.9 after vouchers its like 50% off its RRP

at abt $275 iirc

Hope 10.10 or especially 11.11

they can go past below $250 mark

Previously they got slash up to 60% for their F4GTs (moi definitely hoot if not for the overheating and battery drain issues)

praying hard they will do the same to the remaining F4s

as moi intent to get 2 units for mama/aunty if the price is "right"

Almost EOL fone but shud be good enuf basic use for old folks, kids

🙏

Yea

bcos the standalone promo price is @$299

But if u stack all the vochers/bonus u manage get

can get as low as $249 as @carboy00 did

I just hope the promo price can drop further cums 10.10 or 11.11

then stacked with vouchers/bonus/coins etc can get more cheaper ma
