Redmi Note 8

[kottty]

I'm looking through a few purchase sources like Carousell & Shoppee.

There seems to be so many varieties:- i) Local set with EiN sticker on box, ii) Export set with Global rom, iii) Global Eu set , iv) Global Rom set imported from China.

If I'm not concerned about warranty but I want a full fledged Global rom set that can work for ALL Playstore Apps, can I just go for the Global rom imported sets? How do i know that they are not unlocked bootloader set?

ask seller lo

Yes the first time i bought a Redmi Note 5 Pro was a china set that came with a fake global rom / unlocked bootloader. That i bought from AliExpress.

Then i bought the second set of Redmi Note 5 Pro for my partner from shopee. A local seller. Also received a china set that came with fake global rom / unlocked bootloader.

Ended up i had to create 2 xiaomi account and follow the instruction to unlock the bootloader and flash it to a Global rom.

this time round i bought 2 sets from shopee. messaged seller and said its global set and comes with 1 year local warranty by Xiaomi Service center Singapore.

will update here again if i receive a global set with global rom.

Hi guys, ive bought a local note 8 pro set but having problem transferring my sms messages from my mi5 to this phone.

ive tried mi mover and the messages disappeared even though it said successful.
ive also tried sms send and restore app and also doesnt work.

One tihng i noticed was that my mi5 came with messaging app called 'messaging' but the note 8 app is called 'messages'. their icon are different too and seemed to be the default sms app that came with the phone.

did you guys managed to transfer sms from your previous phone to note 8?

Clear cache of messages app.
If cannot, clear all data of messages app. But backup your current messages first.

Thanks for your advice.

However, strangely the messages started coming in after I switched between FB Messenger app(there is a sms setting) and the provided Messages app.
After disabling the FB Messenger App and setting the Messages app as the default Sms platform. The messages started loading into the messages App. I guess my process 'woke up' the OS to activate the transfer.

Is there a way to change the number of icons per row in a folder? The default 3 seems like a waste of screen space and makes it difficult to launch an app sometimes because I'd have to scroll and scroll. Can't seem to find a way to increase, without rooting...
