Just ordered the Redmi Note today. If it's good I'll consider using it as my main phone (to replace my Nexus 4). If not, I'll just use it as spare for my roaming sims. :)

I'm using this also as my main phone, replacing my old nexus 4.
Overall is good. Much better battery life, bigger screen. about the same speed (although nexus 4 is more smooth). More importantly, support sd card. My old nexus 4 is only 8gb, no sd card. I can't put any music, photos, videos, etc...

Try to bring to the service centre.... Tell them the actual story. Insist you never drop the phone / the bag... Tell them it may be defect on the screen, to sensitive to temperature changes, etc...

1 diagonal line crack is not the usual crack pattern of the phone dropped. It can be caused by defect on the original screen..

That's also my only issue with my Nexus 4 - only 8 GB memory. Though it serves me well :)

Excited to get this new phone...

I just ordered yesterday. Hopefully can receive it by end of the week, after seeing some members here receiving it 3 days after ordering in previous sales.

The touchscreen itself cost abt 15 in ebay (not original). Plus labor cost, I'm not sure. may go up to $100.

They may not have stock for the screen, so you have to wait also. I can't find any redmi note screen replacement guide, but based on the redmi guide, it shouldn't be too difficult to replace the touchscreen. They are not glued, but used double sided tape.

But bear in mind, you'll break the warranty this way.

sounds like something in your bag bent your phone, i.e. 2 diagonal corners got pushed in 1 direction while the middle of the phone pushed in the other direction, to form a U-shape

why put a phone in a bag? no protective casing/cover?

Any LINE users here? I keep having delayed notifications from LINE. It doesn't happen to whatsapp or wechat.
Has anyone faced the same problem?

then what if i repair the screen at the service centre? will it still break the warranty? will it be cheaper to repair at the service centre assuming this is not covered by warranty?

lol a $10 casing would have protected against that damage

i think you had something heavy in your bag ba, it probably was near the bottom of the bag and got pressed heavily, and u were so suai the pressure happened to bend your phone in a U-shape that resulted in that fracture

very hard to keep track of forces in a bag with many odd-shaped items clumped together, i prefer to put my phone in my pocket all the time. evne when i really have to put in the bag, i ensure it stays at the top of the pile

ya i was referring to flip casings with that teensy bit of cushioning that might have made a difference

why don't you call xiaomi service centre? ask for a price there instead of asking us ma

update us when you have their prices and procedure? so we can have mental prep when our notes screen break on how much money we're going to have to spend
