I think they will know it is an office and they will deliver during office hours. If you not around, your colleague can sign on your behalf.

Make sure you got ClockworkMod Recovery installed

place your phone recovery mode and flash the below after you download to the sd card

dunno why the delivery guy don't want call before coming. Then if the buyer not at home, they need to go back to his home again next time

Does anyone have any idea what the icons at the top means? I got 3 horizontal dots like ... next to my Telco name. What does that mean?

If you understand Chinese, this website may help your soft volume in Redmi.

The phone can support 2 SIM cards. I think the dots you describe is the signal strength of the other SIM card which may not be found on your phone.

is it me or the screen is not that great looking? I had 4.7" 720p IPS screen before but not this pixelated.. how to check originality of Redmi? I bought from Qoo10. Also no Googleplay store which I wasnt informed before(or I didnt read properly)

Check your CPU. I ordered mine from the Qoo10 store too. Its not using Mediatek MT6589T chipset!
Also check your phone's IMEI number against the one on the box. Mine was different!

I went down yesterday to Sim Lim and inform them about it. They were very surprised! They did a check on the CPU of another set, noticed the discrepancy too and refunded me my money back. And today, when I checked the Qoo10 for their Xiomi ad, it seems they have stopped selling it. My guess is they ordered fake ones unknowingly.
