Lolz...... true. ... but there's a reason for ding donging..... wanted a global rom.... thus, was doing my research. Anyway, after talking to jtbc..... decided not to order from them as its like lucky draw to get global rom set.
There's another company bintang.sg in shopee selling the phone for $239 with global rom..... but it's shipping from China. Don't know how reliable

Do u all have 4g+ on circles network? Mine only 4g...

Xiaomi only allows intraband CA or interband CA with B8 + B3/7/38 only, based on the available Singapore network bands.

B3 + B7 (M1 only have the spectrum on these two spectrum now) LTE CA isn't allowed.

So for all M1 customers, it's only LTE Cat 4 (150Mbps) peak only, no LTE Cat 6 (300Mbps) peak. No 4G+ in layman's terms.


This issue is present on all Xiaomi smartphones, in the form of intraband CA only, or interband CA without B3+B7 support.

This post is valid for many Xiaomi smartphones that support interband CA. For Samsung/Sony/ASUS/Apple and some other brands, 4G+ is already supported due to B3 + B7 CA allowed.

M1 don't have 4G+.

StarHub have very limited 4G+ coverage, mainly B7 + B38 (FDD+TDD LTE both on 2600MHz).

SingTel have 4G+ in many places, mainly because of B8 + B3/7/38.

Upcoming TPG will have 4G+ too, B8 + B38/40

All three will only have 4G+ once B28 is made available starting next year, but only on compatible handsets.

Note: RMN5 don't support LTE B28, so it won't support.


Available options:
- M1: B28 + B3
- M1: B28 + B7

- SingTel: B28 + B8 + B3
- SingTel: B28 + B8 + B7 + B38

- StarHub: B28 + B3
- StarHub: B28 + B7 + B38

- TPG: B8 + B38 + B41

However, this is just the theoretical max 4CA. If Xiaomi finally implements B3 + B7/38, SingTel 4G can get up to 5CA, as long as the handset supports it.

This morning my RMN5 failed to auto ON at the scheduled time (Off @ 4:30am and On @ 5am).

Maybe I can try searching in this thread for a 2nd account to unlock the 360hrs. And make sure you dun use the latest mi flash.

Many other manufacturers suppose 4G+ in interband CA configuration and supports B3+7. Dk why Xiaomi loves to do all those BS and disable B3+7 CA, something that Asia carriers use.

Is a 2% drop in battery overnight idle normal?

Hardly significant...in fact if non aeroplane mod it's amazing...
