yes sold out for 32gb version. but 16gb version does have a lot of stock. since price different only rm100, i think no one will go to 16gb as only 2gb ram.

If running AOSP, 2GB I take my chance lah, MIUI on 2GB. No thanks lol. whistling.gif

Any guideline ?

If your RN3 is MTK SoC and preloaded with Vendor ROM. Use this guidlines.
1. Flash back to stock China Stable ROM, no unlock bootloader require.

2. Then flash to MIUI.eu

Any questions, feel free to tag me and ask me. I'm on Windows 8 Pro to flash it with the SP Tools.

My uncle has bought a Redmi 3 phone from China Amazon 16GB version I assume its MTK version.
He says its in Chinese and no google store etc..
He says now google play store etc....

It is possible to turn switch the OS from chinese to English? there for no need to flash rom?
even with chinese rom he can install playstore and google stuff?
-use mi appstore  to install google play store then install this normal whatsapp etc....
or does mi appstore already have whatsapp etc...

Yes, Language for China ROM or Vendor ROM are both capable with Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified) and English (US)

Yes, Open Mi Store, and search Google Installer

3) -use mi appstore to install google play store then install this normal whatsapp etc....

Yes, you can use either PlayStore or Mi Store to download WhatsApp

People using Mi3 with 2GB RAM for MIUI also no complain what. No worry about the RN3 with 2GB RAM, but rather worry about 16GB Internal Storage.

i'm stuck at press down + power button, always entering fastboot, i press around 3-4 minit still entering fastboot..any ideas?

Here is the tricks.

1. After you done the steps as the guide.
2. Then "Download Agent" and locate "DA_SWSEC.bin"
3. Then "Scatter loading" button and locate the "MT6795_Android_scatter"
4A. Tick ALL (if stock ROM) OR
4B. UN-Tick Preloaded (if MIUI.eu ROM) *** WARNING: If you forget to untick the Preloaded, you will bricked it
5. You have to press Download button right?
6. Shut off your phone and wait 5~10seconds (to ensure fully turn off)
7. And then "PRESS" & "HOLD" Down Volume Button (DO NOT Release it)
8. Plug and connect the USB to your PC
9. Once you see the bar on the SP Tools turn RED color
10. Then you only release your Volume Down Button.
11. If doesn't working, repeat Steps 3 onward. (Tips: If it boot into FAST Boot, mean you have to repeat Steps 3. Because when the Red Bar detected, the Phone are main Black Screen)

PS. I try the above method more than 2hours only figure it out how does the method works. Because the tutorial didn't explain clearly if didn't work, we have to keep repeat. at first, I thought I was USB faulty or Drivers not working. LOL

Did not really use it till drain. Usually, 7am till 6 pm on 3G, after that wifi after reaching home, usually will last 1.5 to 2 days. Only intermittently check on phone for online

However, last weekend(long weekend due to 1st May), after charge at office and forgot to bring back charger, 3 days only on wifi, heavy use for online, still got 20% left

update: Previously I have issue with camera photo unable to save to SD card - issue resolve. Found that it is my SD card problem. Luckily able to RMA the SD card. Using 64gb card

overall, a good buy, like the fingerprint sensor the best
*
Sounds like a battery beast. So how long to fully charge it as I do read that there is no QC 2.0 / QC 3.0 on it. Just the common basic QC 1.0,

20% -> 100% in about 2.5hrs with the stock charger that comes with the phone.

Ah I see. Stock charger is 5V/2A?

QUOTE(GameSky @ May 4 2016, 02:36 PM)
via ampere, it charges around 1500ma to 1700ma here.
using fastcharge and mipowerbank 16k

Looks like standard QC1.0 2A speed. Not bad thou even without QC2.0

as in the camera sensor, it's samsung isocell sensor is rear, and front camera is omnivision
btw read from the miui forum, the snapdragon camera in the aosp rom performs better than miui camera.

might due to poor optimization by xiaomi

What I can say, the Snapdragon Camera indeed very powerful when under reasonable light. (not in RN3)

Because my Moto G (2013 edition / Gen1) that stock Moto Camera focus are plain slow/average. With CustomROM that came with the Snapdragon Camera, the Focus Speed are as fast as those come Smartphone come with PDAF, but you should know that my Moto G doesn't not have PDAF capable, as always it must have reasonable light. Low light are shit anyway for my legacy Moto G. Even Google Camera can't beat the Snapdragon Camera.
