Each time clear ram, Swiftkey keyboard will change back to Google Keyboard. How to solve this?

I had the exact same issue. Solved after the update. rclxm9.gif

TIPS: About the FINGERPRINT SCAN, did you guys try to scan your left and right fingers in different angles and pressure the first time you set it up? Because I did tat when I first got my phone. And the fingerprint scan never failed to unlock no matter how I place my finger on it. Sometimes even switch from my left fore finger to my right fore finger (as I use both fore fingers to do that first time scanning).

Only 'complain' I had about the phone is that the unit I received was has a 'faulty' screen. vmad.gif It has vertical white shadow lines all over the freaking display! bangwall.gif  I had just returned that unit to LZD.

Now I am having 2nd thoughts on getting another unit as this screen lines issue is not a new bug and it has been around for sometime and other Xiaomi phones have been afflicted with it too. It's due to hardware failure. Not cool right? ranting.gif

Even my friend's Redmi of less than a year was afflicted with faulty screen now.

I am currently in a dilemma of whether to buy or not because I have already bought the case and the MiBand for it.

Sleep on this?  hmm.gif

You are one of those lucky ones then. It's just frustrating that it's a brandnew phone just out of the box and I can't even enjoy it for a day.  cry.gif  And I am stucked now until I get my money back from LZD before I could go buy another phone.

Hmmm. It looks like we are in the same boat bro. I bought mine last week. Got my phone on 8/4/16. After using it for 2 days, I noticed there's a very small unusual small circle at bottom right of the screen. Initially I thought is was dirt or something else, but when I scroll in WhatsApp for example, can see the circle stays there. It is only visible when the background is white or display is bright. Can't see it at all when background is dark/black.

I'm pretty sure the screen is faulty. It just broke my heart. I got in touch with their CS and they said bring it over to their SC and they'll replace the screen. When I first saw the circle until today no mood to use the phone already. sad.gif

Did you get yours from Lazada as well? Or was it from Mi Malaysia website? I feel your pain. After all the excitement of finally getting my hands on it. And it's such a hassle to have to return it and now hope LZD would give me that refund and on time too. It's such an eyesore looking at that faulty screen. How not to killjoy leh? Sighhh

But I did love that fingerprint scan. And the phone feels great and light in my hands. Didn't really have much chance to really experience how Miui works. I've heard lots of great things about it which is why I decided to go try out Xiaomi instead of picking up another Samsung phone. My current Samsung has been really sturdy and it has been with me for 4 years already without any hiccups. Still going strong other than the battery power is not as durable these days. If a RM800plus phone could only last you 1 year I don't think that is a cheap phone. Anyhow I think I might brave it and try getting another RN3 as I really wanted to experience Miui and also for the sake of those accessories I have already bought for it.

No bro. I got mine online from Mi Malaysia. Seriously, looking at the screen now, the heart so painful. I'm too lazy to send for repair as the nearest SC is not near and I have this feeling like once the phone is opened and repaired like tak syiokkk ady want to use. I guess it's just me. sad.gif

problem found in my unit as you can see the light come out from inside at bottom left.
Look like the panel or lcd got some 3-5mm "curve up" inside so the light can come out, bad QC.

Sorry to see another case of screen faulty.

maybe  updating can help.. will try it once i get some time..

how long did the update take btw? care to share?
*
The package was about 142MB IIRC. The update took like 15 ~ 20 min. It doesn't seem to be a major update but the time it takes to update makes it like a major update... rclxub.gif

The setting is Preferred LTE means when 4G not available will switch to 3G and so on. Some phone can lock to 4G or 3G only but not in RN3.
*
Incorrect!

Yes you can lock to LTE/4G only in RN3.

In dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information 1 (refers to sim 1) > Scroll down a bit then you can see the current network type. Click on that and you will see the full list of network type supported. Look in the list for LTE only.

I do this to lock to LTE only when needed.

Enjoy ! icon_rolleyes.gif

EDIT: Btw, same case goes for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 as well. You don't have the option in phone settings to select LTE only. Need to dial the same code to select LTE only.

Wow didn't know there is secret code on RN3, can you share more on the secret code?
*
A simple Google will give you tons of other codes. But whether is works or not varies by phone model/manufacturer.

Btw, the code I mentioned earlier works for quite a no of phones.

Does RN3 supports LTE-A ?

I'm only aware it supports VoLTE.

Anyone tried speedtest for LTE and got around 120-150mbps ?

miui is lousy. Really do not like it. One of the feature in miui that I really hate is cannot move the apps to sdcard. All apps are tied to the default 2GB system storage. Only can move it if root the phone.
*
I beg your pardon.

Where does 2GB comes from ? confused.gif

The high end version comes with 3GB RAM + 32GB Internal. I'm pretty sure 32GB is sufficient for all your apps.

Movies ? Music ? Picture ? MicroSD ! icon_rolleyes.gif

I didnt update yet because I read that V7.2.3.0.LHOMIDA has a lot of issues. Heard it's quite unstable at the moment. Any other feedbacks on V7.2.3.0.LHOMIDA? Is it worth updating?
*
I'm very curious of the source where you "heard it's quite unstable at the moment".

It's definitely worth upgrading. There are bugs here and there but there are bugs on all the updates so why bother ?

Just update and enjoy ! icon_rolleyes.gif

Im using 7.1.8.0. Fresh form factory.

Full charge 100. Then turn off the phone. When i turn it on back about 2-3hours later. Battery drain 1 or 2 percent. Lulz
*
I guess this is very normal for it to drop especially 1%. Sometimes after full charged, unplug straight drop 1%.

You should try off the phone, charged it to 100%, leave a few hours, turn on and it will stay 100% for short while.
