thanks, i managed to reflash my China set to the global rom and the notifications are being received in a timely manner now. Even managed to updated the MIUI via the automatic updates.

however i notice just this morning that there's a huge drain on battery overnight and the culprit is "Android System". will charge it for a few more times and see whether it goes away, otherwise have to try hard reset the phone again.

got someone ask me how I flash to global rom. the instructions were actually provided by FreshGradDays a few pages back. perhaps I can elaborate a bit more

1) bind account and unlock bootloader using MI UNLOCK tool
- I followed the steps in https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/solved-bypassing-360h-wait-to-unlock-t3791083


2) download global 9.5.6 ROM from MI website
3) download and install MiFlash tool. Then install and Clean all (but dont lock bootloader)
- then I followed these steps in https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/redmi-note-5-china-ai-to-leaked-global-t3782175

i use the black full screen full cover 0.26mm one. no halo effect, fits perfectly, except for the 1 speck of dust i didnt remove.

When you say halo effect, are you referring to the oil ring like appearance in the sp or you referring to the non-stickiness at the edge ?

Thanks.

halo effect is the white outline caused by the curve of the 2.5d glass

My phone arrived! That is very fast as I placed order yesterday late afternoon. Phone looks fine with all the specs as advertised.

Yes there is a silicon case included. Very nice.
