Weird. I got no such issue

Since I applocked my Gmail app

Tried just now to launch Gmail, okay jer.
No prob. Just sharing my experience

Oppsss. I forgot about the permission thingy. My WhatsApp contact went missing as well. I reinstalled WhatsApp, and that's where it requested for permission again. Silly me. Should have just change in the permissions settings. 
AFAIK, when you unlock your phone, you need to input fingerprint for locked apps once and the locked apps will stay unlocked as long as the phone is not locked again.

I tried before and I guess this is how it works. 

Anyone turn on this and it works? My phone will keep turning off when I use fingerprint to unlock if I turn on this.

Thanks for the replies. I see, DirectD has Snapdragon version... But the ROM thing might be worrying. I've not touched custom ROM kind of things for many years already    I guess better to wait for local stock but so far no sign of local stock coming. 

Via OTA?

For your additional information, Xiaomi has managed to start unlocking bootloaders of several devices including Redmi Note 3. The reason is to protect user data safety.

Another problem Mi users have often encountered is that, after their Mi phones are lost or stolen, the person who got the device could easily flash a new ROM into it, and makes it almost impossible for our users to get their phones back.

Solid my ass. You're not getting your phone back once it's stolen. Even iPhone also got people steal although iPhones have the most secure encryption (Apple ID is pretty much impossible to hack). My customer's iPhone got stolen and he used Find My iPhone to trace it but the location is high-rise apartments, then the phone is turned off. By the way, our local police won't care about phone theft one. You just file a police report and then they won't take any action to follow up.

it's official unlock bootloader, and yes most of them who root will go thro these steps

No need to do that. MiUI is awesome

Scary sia.... I sometiimes play my phone when I charging it or I use until left 5% only let it charge at night when I sleep that time..

I've used CM since the Android 2,1 days. It just feels more natural and power user-friendly to me. Casual users would prefer and should stick to MIUI due to its iOS-like UI.

that one is redmi 3 pro, not redmi note 3 pro.

usually how long you guys take to receive the unlock confirmation from Mi?

done!!!   

next step, wait

I use this in conjunction with battery saver and it cause instability.
After I disable everything, my phone is running rock solid. No bug at all.

Maybe u did not turn on battery saver

Is yours 7.3.2? Coz its really buggy if i turn on battery saver and stuff.

How's the battery

does this phone able to achieve 7-8 hrs SOT?
