This could be a nice replacement for my Redmi 1s.

It's already available on both Satu Gadget and Direct D, but the price is more or less the same with the Redmi Note 3.

I've used this phone for few days without sim. What i can say
Pros - best entry level phone that we can buy now below rm500 - phone is light and thickness is fine for such a phone in this price segment - batt life is great. I do not have sim inserted but used wifi for 1hour SOT and only drained about 12% . Other sites reviewed mentioned it can achieve 7hours SOT. - lcd very near to the glass giving nice pop out effect - sd card! - metal build but feels very light - colors are great and display is sharp enough for 720p 5inch Cons - camera is just so so. Low light not so great.. Focus is quick but sometimes will miss - micro stuttering observed while navigating through menus - ghosting on the lcd when browsing the web. - buttons not backlighted |

I do not have sim inserted but used wifi for 1hour SOT and only drained about 12% . Other sites reviewed mentioned it can achieve 7hours SOT. - lcd very near to the glass giving nice pop out effect - sd card! - metal build but feels very light - colors are great and display is sharp enough for 720p 5inch Cons - camera is just so so. Low light not so great.. Focus is quick but sometimes will miss - micro stuttering observed while navigating through menus - ghosting on the lcd when browsing the web. - buttons not backlighted camera really so so? how so so? show some nice pic lar front camera how ?

Couldn't test it for now, but from the camera itself viewing using the phone can see it is not that sharp. The phone is great for my dad because the battery standby is quite good because old ppl tend to forget to charge phone daily. The performance of Snapdragon 616 is adequate for the HD screen. |

Hello. New user here. Bought from lazada. My unit come with miui v 7.1.1.0 with bloatware everywhere. Try to root and ended with boot loop after try to replace kingroot with supersu.
Long story short, able to boot to download mode, install miflash tool and other necessary driver and cerrently on v7.1.2.0 eu stable. Play store ready and no chinese bloatware. I would recommend others to try. miflash tool and drivers: link miui v7.1.2.0 eu stable: link Next, wait and see how the battery perform. |

Does anyone know how to set the PIN so it could take more than 4 digits? I find this limitation is very annoying as other brands doesn't have this sort of stupid limitation. And I don't feel like to use password as a workaround as it will pop the keyboard up instead of the normal keypad when unlocking the phone.

Hey, quick question on the MiFlash Tool. http://en.miui.com/thread-218644-1-1.html I had it installed and install the qualcomm driver 64 bit. But it seems like it has an error when I try to flash ROM onto my device. It says file not found. Did you install the qualcomm drivers or just installed MiFlash by its own? and yes I was on "Download Mode". |

Managed to flash the ROM finally. Just install MiFlash as it is and I uninstalled the Qualcomm Driver that came seperately in the zip file.
I'm using MIUI V7.1.3.0.LHPCNCK with ROOT&Xposed (LB) for MiFlash http://en.miui.com/thread-236545-1-1.html Very light and say goodbye to those rubbish ads and bloatwares. The only thing is that these kind of custom ROMs do not support OTA which means you have to manually download and flash these updates. |

Sorry. Just read this. Great that you've successfully flash the rom. Yes, the trickiest part is to install the required driver correctly. Second trickiest is to get to boot option menu!

Edit: From your previous input people actually flash china rom then install google play services? But the easiest way is to flash the latest Chinese MIUI that comes with GApps and prerooted (prepared by some good samaritans in the forum). That way you don't have to do anything other than flashing the phone. Btw, I could give you the link if you like.

Will share the link once I get home. The one with xposed comes with more extensive flasing guide while the one without, don't. Note that this will be my first time doing flashing myself since my friend isn't able to help me. I should be able to comprehend the instructions correctly |

Yeah, I remembered that redmi 3 must use download mode., you can't use fastboot mode to flash rom you must use download mode. Don't panic it's normal to have black screen in download mode. If you still can't do it, refer to this guide Can you please advice? means i need to unlock device first? how? sorry, noob here http://en.miui.com/thread-218644-1-1.html |

Crappy rom, and more users start learning how to flash.
For me, the important step is to ensure all driver are peoperly installed, be it 32bit or 64bit. Open device manager and check no device have ! mark. Disable windows driver signature verification is a good practice. |

Help! Im using umobile network for my redmi 3. Whenever i go to some poor connection area, the network automatically changed to maxis 2g. But then after i go to other places which supposedly have good umobile coverage, the network is still in maxis 2g and not changing back to umobile 4g. So i need to manually select the network over and over again. What should i do?

Also as for the adapter is 5V/5A, but I suspect is the cable, I still remember I use the Redmi 2 cable with 5V/5A adapter, the output current only 0.85A max. (I use current checker hardware, not the apps) |

QUOTE(JJKTP @ Mar 17 2016, 08:12 PM) But fast charging causing higher battery temperature throughout. The higher the temperature, to worst it is for your battery. INOV has the added benefit of being able to dynamically adjust the charging voltage over the battery charging cycle. As a battery charges up, it slowly draws less and less current, which is partly why it takes longer to charge the last 20 percent than the first. Qualcomm states that its new technology allows the phone to request just enough voltage to reach the desired charge current, thereby maximising efficiency.This is useful as it reduces the amount of energy wasted during charging. Previously, extra power not used to charge the battery would be lost as heat, warming up your phone and reducing the longevity of the battery. By exerting more control over charging efficiency, less power is wasted, resulting in less heat. Qualcomm states that version 3.0 is up to 38 percent more efficiency than 2.0, which is a substantial energy saving. Energy efficiency is really the major new feature with Quick Charge 3.0, but this is still very important as cooler batteries will last longer than hot ones. Qualcomm boasts that it can charge some devices up to 80 percent in just 35 minutes, but it’s very rare for the company to talk about total charge time, because it is simply less impressive. Power transfer in the latter stages of battery charging is much lower regardless of the charging tech used, hence why Quick Charge can boost your battery to 50 percent or more rather quickly, but will still take over an hour to fully charge your smartphone. |

After more than a week of using redmi 3, as an average consumer here are some of my input:
-Battery life no doubt awesome -Pixels on phone is not very obvious so definitely I won't mind 720p on 5" display -Least heat up issue compared to Redmi Note 2 (I don't use phone while charging though) -Waze performs better than Redmi Note 2 -Reception is rather disappointing (4G was more stable on Redmi Note 2) Overall a very good budget phone for RM510 |

That ghost touch issue seems to be with certain chargers? I used my old LG G2 5v/1.8A charger and there's no ghost touch while charging. I tried my Remax 4 point USB Charger and it does have ghost touch, same goes with my iPad's charger.

Plugging in when phone is in boot menu, device manager shows ADB interface; Plugging in when phone is in download mode, device manager shows QHSUSB_BULK. Seems fine, but MiFlash just won't detect my phone. It still detects it when the phone is in fastboot mode though.  |

Guys, is there a burst mode in Redmi 3 Camera?
If Yes, how was it, does it sluggish/shutter like Mi4i? If No, how many camera function (slide from left side) are in the Redmi 3 Camera? Was planning to upgrade my mom Redmi 2 (1GB RAM) to a better budget camera smartphone, she always complain to me Facebook lag can't click like button or shoot camera hang. Dang, bought at last year Raya @ RM350. So couldn't complain it more. itadakimatsuJJKTPzher4883b0rhui |

So I assume it would be the same performance as Mi4i, it will burst, but it will feel sluggish. (eg. 1, shutter, 2, 3, 4, 5, shutter, 6, 7, 8, shutter, 9, 10) lol Can you tell me how many Camera modes are in your default MIUI Camera? I know the Redmi Note 2 have: - Panorama - Timer - Refocus - Manual - Straighten - Beautify - HHT - Scene mode - Tilt-shift - Fish Eye Which one of above that Redmi 3 have or missing. |

Well I'm set to join this gang by next week if only this one seller here ever reply to my pm or Whatsapp. Quite irritating really since he/she could at least confirm availability or not. So push comes to shove maybe I'll just drop by DirectD this Saturday. Any hints/tips on the sales package that I should look out for? P.S anyone here looking to sell theirs are welcome to discuss via pm.

Seems like the merchant used MIUI global stable 7.1.1.0.0 in my phone as it had playstore installed already. Anyone with this as well? |

Noob question here. I bought this Redmi 3 at DirectD. Can DirectD detect whether the phone has been rooted or not, if one day I really root this phone? I kind of dissatify with all the bloatware and thinking about rooting this phone. But I don't have the stock firmware as well. Afraid if they can detect the root status, it will void the 2-year warranty. Anyone can explain?
p/s: anyone want to suggest any good custom ROM for this phone? This post has been edited by moonrabbit: Mar 24 2016, 01:17 PM |

@JJKTP
Well that's the worst part bro. Some no name POS in a blank plastic that's it. Only price tagged. Might wanna give it some more time at least other than Loca to pop up. In the mean time I'd settle for just a proper fitting transparent soft case if I can actually find any. |

Or maybe our peers here can follow up with their hands on reviews soon.QUOTE(Chieftaind @ Mar 26 2016, 02:42 PM) Anyone able to flash to ROM 7.2.4? Just did via MiFlash and not really because I want it but because mine was on .eu stable rom so problematic later on if I don't at least flash the China stable before flashing over yet again the dev rom for unlocking bootloader. |

No you don't need to root before flashing the 1st ROM as it uses MiFlash(like odin). But for the second ROM, you need root, hence that is why I suggest flashing the 1st ROM and then the second one |

As a fan of Redmi 1S to Redmi Note 3G before, I waited too long for this. Might recommend you guys check up on Allcall Malaysia brand that's going to start promoting soon! Early bird to use and it's a pretty competitive brand as well.

Seriously I'd only touch anything Mediatek which is Helio upwards but only if I have to thus why this Redmi 3 is a far better bet. Rather add RM100+ to that and get a proper Redmi 2 Enhanced instead if it was me. |

Unless you guys are fond on gaming performance. Sure, Redmi 3 / Redmi Note 3 is a better choice. We need to know the price as soon as it announced on the 29th.Still, the phone overall I mentioned is better than Redmi 1S / Redmi 2 in the past so it's still a pretty good entry to 2016.

Pro (or so we thought maybe it was Enhanced or Prime) is to be expected obviously. Knew this full well before having made this purchase so no early buyer's remorse for me. All things considered if people are willing to wait and spend a bit higher then by all means.
Back to our ido talk though I've just flashed 7.2.6.0 cn stable over and suspect that 6.3.25 dev build has better batt power optimization. |

QUOTE(sniperz @ Mar 27 2016, 11:38 PM) I'm on a budget so my impression is to hold on to these first. It's good for daily use. Unless you guys are fond on gaming performance. Sure, Redmi 3 / Redmi Note 3 is a better choice. We need to know the price as soon as it announced on the 29th. It doesn't look better than the specs of Redmi 1s or 2Still, the phone overall I mentioned is better than Redmi 1S / Redmi 2 in the past so it's still a pretty good entry to 2016. https://www.facebook.com/allcallMY/ From the facebook specs for HOT1, HOT2 the specs are lower than Redmi 1s. The resolution is alot lower (FWVGA/QHD vs 720p hd), battery is smaller (1400-1600 vs 2000mah) and probably not removable, no 4G. |

It's a good phone with MTK6580 for gaming and up to certain 3D games like Hearthstone or racing titles 2.

I don't put alot of weigh onto Antutu scores nowadays since phone companies are aggressively rigging those benchmarks to make their phones look better. Mediatek's gps is still problematic with the newer 67xx chipsets and I agree with the previous poster who said that only the Helio's are worth considering. |

Just chill, man. I admitted because the specs are still really not that low as compared thoroughly and with Antutu, you can see there's something good about it's price range be it rigged or not. Since you say that Helio's are worth, then surely the price is over RM600 as usual. It's already my 4th day using it and I think it suits a lot of people who are in for very tight budget or backup smartphone with all the daily usage fulfilled.I don't put alot of weigh onto Antutu scores nowadays since phone companies are aggressively rigging those benchmarks to make their phones look better. Mediatek's gps is still problematic with the newer 67xx chipsets and I agree with the previous poster who said that only the Helio's are worth considering. Redmi 1S heats up faster than Allcall phone. This is something I can say for and because the MTK chipset used is somewhat newer. Advantage wise, you can see it. http://www.allcall.com.cn/allcall/index.htm (To compare Redmi 3 and it's product range, check here) But let's get back to topic too.

And there are other features in the Redmi1s which are probably better or missing on the Allcall phones like better quality camera sensor, USB host capability, better custom ROM support (Qualcomm generally better than Mediatek) and a gps which actually works well unlike many Mediatek chipsets. And for a "Malaysian" phone, it looks like some relabeled Chinese phone with very poor support. |

All you had to do was admit that your comments were incorrect and keep quiet. I have sent you the website. It's made from China. No matter what, I still support Xiaomi product and I'm already a former user of 1S so you don't have to repeat it. I'm saying it based on first impression and test tries and I always see alternative for people. It doesn't mean you will forever reply just in a "Redmi" based discussion thread right?

And for a "Malaysian" phone, it looks like some relabeled Chinese phone with very poor support. You can keep your argument to some public viewer. I'll be replying to others instead to "some" of you. For those wanting Redmi 3, I checked that they only release Redmi Note 3 instead of the Redmi 1S / 2 category so far. So don't put your hopes high as I contacted the website recently.

hi guys. recently i lost my phone and meanwhile waiting for the funds to be available for a new phone that i have in mind, i went on to purchase a redmi 3 LTE AP set from directd.
since the day i bought it seems to have some issue. firstly, it lags. seriously, it lags. i tried to factory reset and it is still the same but sometimes it is fine. what bothers me is that whenever i open any application like fb, whatsapp or browser, hell even charging the phone, there are ads that pop up. i wonder how is this possible. i really need a solution for this and i was wondering is there anyone that can guide me to root and load any kind of custom rom that might be helpful or any other solution.

So root would be pointless as that will get wiped as well.what is the best way to root it? without getting it bricked or anything? i have tried googling but still cnt seem to und which one to choose. cnt afford to have any mishap ifnot i will be lost. lol. 1. Preparation a~ Make sure your PC is running on an x86-64 = 64 bit OS w/e Win 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. This is crucial. b~ Read this 1st. We'll get back to it. c~ Now go to this link, yes 1st download that .exe file in Step 1 it's the installer for MiFlash and then scroll all the way down until you can see "Redmi 3 Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download" and click that. Let these finish. d~ While you're at it, begin backup take out your micro SD + SIM reinsert the flap and move w/e data gf pics etc to your PC. e~ now when the downloads are done, go to c:\ create a new folder keep it simple name it to ayam. Extract the fastboot file from .tgz -> .tar and then again until it's a folder. Go into this folder select all then cut and go back to c:\ayam then paste. f~ remember step 1b above? yes follow that link, read, do and install MiFlash after you rebooted into the disabled driver sig verification environ. Make sure that you right click run as administrator on the .exe and when you see the warning dialogs just ignore and select install this driver anyway.Continue installation until it's finished. Done and reboot. 2. Flashing a~ Turn phone off, press Vol Up + Power hold until it boots to a weird looking recovery. Select tap on Download. Then it'll be blank screen don't panic that's just how it is. Put the phone aside for a bit. b~ By now MiFlash should be available on your Start screen so right click on the shortcut run as admin. c~ Connect phone via USB cable once MiFlash is launched and double check by clicking on Refresh button. If it shows a COM10 entry below then it's good. d~ now click on Browse button locate c:\ayam e~ then click on Flash f~ IF it's successful congratulations now can proceed to step 3 3.

QUOTE(eq8all @ Mar 31 2016, 08:52 PM) Flashing is similar to formatting. So root would be pointless as that will get wiped as well. bro i have successfully installed it but where do i find my app store???1. Preparation a~ Make sure your PC is running on an x86-64 = 64 bit OS w/e Win 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. This is crucial. b~ Read this 1st. We'll get back to it. c~ Now go to this link, yes 1st download that .exe file in Step 1 it's the installer for MiFlash and then scroll all the way down until you can see "Redmi 3 Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download" and click that. Let these finish. d~ While you're at it, begin backup take out your micro SD + SIM reinsert the flap and move w/e data gf pics etc to your PC. e~ now when the downloads are done, go to c:\ create a new folder keep it simple name it to ayam. Extract the fastboot file from .tgz -> .tar and then again until it's a folder. Go into this folder select all then cut and go back to c:\ayam then paste. f~ remember step 1b above? yes follow that link, read, do and install MiFlash after you rebooted into the disabled driver sig verification environ. Make sure that you right click run as administrator on the .exe and when you see the warning dialogs just ignore and select install this driver anyway.Continue installation until it's finished. Done and reboot. 2. Flashing a~ Turn phone off, press Vol Up + Power hold until it boots to a weird looking recovery. Select tap on Download. Then it'll be blank screen don't panic that's just how it is. Put the phone aside for a bit. b~ By now MiFlash should be available on your Start screen so right click on the shortcut run as admin. c~ Connect phone via USB cable once MiFlash is launched and double check by clicking on Refresh button. If it shows a COM10 entry below then it's good. d~ now click on Browse button locate c:\ayam e~ then click on Flash f~ IF it's successful congratulations now can proceed to step 3 3. PM me so that you can transfer my coffee fund laters Good luck... |

I was very interested to buy, but thank goodness I didn't (want to save money first). Now there's report that Redmi 3 Pro might be coming out soon. Add fingerprint scanner (don't really care for it) and higher base storage of 32gb (Yay!!)
Hopefully it will be launched in Malaysia like the Redmi Note 3 Pro. |

I sold my Redmi note 2 already by the way. Having Redmi 3 as my main phone currently.Redmi note 2 over redmi 3 Display is more superior as it is 1080p rather than 720p Screen size is bigger Overheats easily, gets warm with light usage unless you're in aircond room Overheats more when charging Less battery life (SOT was about 4-5hours) Redmi 3 over redmi note 2 Smaller and better grip as well Battery life superior (8-9 hours SOT) GPS positions faster Charging time is longer No comment on the camera These are all that I could think of for now |

Hello all, got myself a redmi 3 as backup phone. Playing around with it a night and I must say, this phone really go back to the old days of what a phone should be - loud speaker, long battery life, simple and intuitive ui (no separate volume control for ringtone notification system, one button control all, yay!), easy to hold due to small and slim, and most of all its an android. Heck even the headphone output is solid for such price!
Right beside Samsung s7e of course it's inferior in every way (except battery lol), but I feel s7e is more like a entertainment device with phone function, while R3 more like a phone with entertainment function. With such cheap price, I'm not sure I want to put a case on it as I really not worried to use it and throw it around. I can see why this phone can be a main phone a phone for some! As crazy as it sound, I have a feeling that I might just sell off my s7e and use this as my main. I have a very good compact camera for travelling, R3 camera is actually good enough for utility purpose. By the way, I flashed the rom to stock China rom 7.1.3 stable and I find installing Google installer app and play store is still not very a smooth experience. Certain app in play store like chrome said not compatible with this device. Guess better to flash the eu version? |

I did manually install slightly older version and it update itself to the latest version. QUOTE(vanpersie91 @ Apr 9 2016, 08:12 PM) Where u guys buy xiaomi redmi 3? Directd, although greenfone cheaper by RM10. I went to directd due to their operating hour, any service can go late as their closing time is 11pm. From mi china? REVIEW ADD ON: MIUI - 2GB RAM not enough? Nope, been using it since yesterday and I didn't feel the 2GB lacking. I'm not a heavy user though, but browsing and everyday use I didn't miss much coming from Samsung S6/S7. It's such a lightweight system and offering many many functions that's unexpectedly useful. One function I really love - on lock screen, hold the home button you'll launch the torchlight app, and the LED is quite a bright one despite being single LED! Display - Well this is the part that I feel I get what I paid for. It isn't too bright under direct sunlight use although I can still read what's on the screen. But the white point is on the greenish side, and colours are washed out (coming from iPad IPS and samsung AMOLED). Perhaps I'll download some display calibrate apps to enhance this. Camera - Another part where I got what I paid for, but it takes surprisingly good (but not great) pictures during daylight, and HDR works wonderfully. Night time...forget it lol! But still serve well as a utility tools. Audio quality - I just experienced something really weird. I was searching for best music player, and upon googling most people recommend Poweramp. So I thought I should be getting better sound quality compared to the stock MIUI music player, to my surprise, stock player sound much better compared to Poweramp! Yes, it doesn't load album art properly, and library sorting is horrible, but the sound, wow! Punchy and solid, with wide soundstage (can hear things going on clearly in surround), while Poweramp sounded weaker with narrower soundstage. Gosh xiaomi really make good stock apps! Battery - On my first full charge, 2nd day of use since yesterday 9am, and it's 7 hours of SOT currently and I have 15% left. I mainly use it for web browsing and social apps, but I also install and uninstall quite a few apps and played music for a good 2+ hours since yesterday. I suspect it can do much better as I installed a music player AIMP since yesterday and experience bad battery drain like 1-2% drain per hour on standby (mobile data) without doing anything, only unintall it in the afternoon just now. Uninstalling it seems to slow down the drain. But still, ayam impressed.  This post has been edited by Casey Joo: Apr 9 2016, 09:14 PM |

EDIT: Saw someone posted photo taken with RN3 camera at RN3 thread, RN3 takes better photo I must say. 32GB/3GB/fingerprint/1080p seems like a better buy than the R3 though. But I still love the 5 incher, feel very nice and secure in my hand. |

You don't need that, cause under manual brightness setting, when slide to minimum brightness it's so dim that even in pitch dark room also can't read properly. |

Under good light (day time), totally satisfied with the performance of the camera. Certainly better than I expected.

Well I guess if you start seeing official Global ROM only then you might expect Redmi 3 to be officially brought in here.

I'm on china official rom and mi store nagging me to update to latest version (7.2.7), so I don't think you need to worry? As a matter of fact, I read about Redmi Note 3 forum at MIUI forum, china rom team seems to be more hardworking with updates where global rom team slack and slow with updates. By the way, read about 7.2.x onwards battery life not as good, so I'm staying on 7.1.3 at the moment. No problem with the rom whatsoever, no hang no reboot, and has all the function I need. In comparison, my samsung s7e hang and reboot few times throughout 2 weeks of use.  |

You can follow this guide first, flashing ROM without using PC:http://en.miui.com/download-298.html If it's not able to flash for whatever reason which is what happened to mine, where the software doesn't recognise the ROM file, use this manual flash guide. Do click the link to go to youtube website, cause the video description contain all the necessary download. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffytnVrBc9E The video didn't show the most vital step though. First have to install Mi PCsuite, as it'll install USB driver, or else your PC cannot detect your phone. Another problem is you MUST use 64bit windows (according to guide on MIUI forum) though, or else will give you "not enough memory" problem, happened to mine, and it soft bricked my phone. You can try use 32bit windows to do it, if really flash unsuccessful, don't panic, just unplug the USB cable, press and hold power button, your phone will restart and enter boot loop (keep restart but won't get past MI logo), hold the volume up+down and you'll see the phone stop boot loop and looked like it's shutdown (but it's actually entering download mode again), connect USB, flash again. |

Dunno how to describe my feeling towards the battery life. Totally amazed, I feel like I'm using iPad level of battery life. Browsing, FB, WhatsApp, some music and YouTube. When watching YouTube even 720p will only eat up 1% battery every 6mins. And I don't dim my display, left it at auto brightness slider right at the middle. Never off WiFi and GPS, too lazy to toggle them on and off.
It's not a performance car, rather like a small boring car that you get you to wherever you want to go, with extreme fuel efficiency, and dependable reliability. No crash or restarts so far. Very happy with it.

To those who bought this phone from local seller, strongly recommend you to flash the phone with official ROM.
The phone from local seller (unofficial), the Rom is tampered causing the rom to be bloated with ads and bloatwares. The battery is better thou surprisingly |

That image looked creepy...
If yours is imported unit probably come with ROM that's tempered with, and not safe to use where your personal info might be accessed easily by hackers. If yours is local warranty unit (cause you posted at redmi note 3 thread so I assumed you have note 3 instead of redmi 3), then some nasty app is causing this. |

All images were edited with Adobe Lightroom Mobile.    |

Looks good, but saw a lot of noise... well this is enough to share on Social media.

Yup it's when I need the best image quality I'll be carrying my Sony RX1R. Funny enough, I'm not concerned about noise, so they looked fine to me. I rather have good colour and white balance than good noise control. Used to use some camera phone that didnt produce satisfying colour and white balance and every picture looked dull, albeit with a lot less noise and higher resolution. Very frustrated really. |

Nice. As for me I'm losing hope of ever getting approval by next month it seems.

Hello guys. Just got Redmi 3. I've rooted using Kingroot and then installed backups from old phone using Titanium Backup. Almost everything works fine except that I cannot open Phone, Messaging and Contacts app. All three will force closed every time I open them.
Any suggestions? |

Try going into each' app settings, clear data then reboot (doubt that this will work 50-50 but try 1st). You rooted with KingRoot? On stock or vendor ROM?Any suggestions? |

Not economical because it being sold over 1000CNY in China and by the time stock arrives in Malaysia, the price will drop again which makes importer make a lost. Second, even if they do, it will be sold quite expensive due to scarcity of the phone and most of the consumer wouldn't buy it. If you really want it buy it directly from China. |
