Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

[cskcskcsk]

Does anyone have a nice screen protector to recommend? I had one put on by an ah beng shop, and it feels bad, a little nicer than the free one that came with the phone, but smudges easily and doesnt let my finger glide.
I have always had matte screen protectors, but quite enjoy the clarity of the clear ones. But the smudges and non glidy ness is killing me.

Please Help!

Did anyone encounter problems with eNets when making purchase on phones in Lazada recently? I paid using eNets and got email from HelloPay saying order has expired and will not be charged through eNets. But I check my bank account, the money has been deducted. I am still discussing with HelloPay about the refund issue.

got my RN3 from smartcell today!

after much consideration regarding my m1 plan and how to maximise savings, i've switched from thinking to buy locally to buying from smartcell on lazada. delivered today!! and when i opened the box, damn. the phone slides out and hit the ground. lucky lower than knee height and no crack sia..... i purchased it on 25 sep and delivered 2 days later. that's fast. now waiting for phone cover and xiaomi powerbank to arrive. gonna read through the threads and try flashing for the first time in my life with this new phone. or should i just let it be and upgrade to MIUI 8 software that it prompted?

oh and it comes with a flat 2 pin charger. this is normal since should be from china?

that's why when I opened mine, I was on the bed

Did you apply the free tempered glass already? I had to watch a youtube instruction video last night. And it was a success.

Also got my set from them. Ordered last saturday, received yesterday afternoon but only ninja collected at night. It's quite fast and no additional shipping charge.

Where did you get your cover?

Why bother to flash it? Just upgrade OTA to MIUI 8. The hassle of flashing it plus the risk of bricking your phone is not worth it, at very minimal benefit.

There's a reason it's called a BETA rom.

And yes the US-style two-pin AC adapter is standard with china export sets. Most people have tonnes of adapters and/or spare chargers lying around at home. If not... you should be able to easily buy one at $1 - $2; if you're not in a hurry, get cheap ones from aliexpress.

Transparent TPU Soft cover(good for taking impact if phone dropped onto the ground)
