Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy RN4 from DirectD later today at RM899 for the 64GB variant. Is it good of a price? Also from what I gather from the discussion going on here:
*since RN4 is not officially available here in MY so the warranty is bound to the shop we bought it from.
*official global ROM comes with Google PlayStore, means no hassle of sideloading
*both GPS and Celcom LTE works fine
*active apps are not kept running in the background (whatsapp/social app notification will be missed unless i open them) however can be fixed by simply locking the app in the recent app section and have to be repeated for every apps. Hopefully there is a way to do this for all apps instead.
I am no longer into the rooting/flashing/unlocking scene as I no longer have the luxury of time. Will RN4 running on Official Global ROM works for someone who need it to work out of the box with less to no tinkering? Please advise.
RM 899 is indeed expensive, but that's the price u have to pay if u walk-in i supposed. U could save around RM 200 if u bought online eg via Lazada, etc.. it's the exact same item but u'll get it 1-2 days later instead, and u can use that 200 to buy something else eg casing and/or tempered glass.
Anyway, yes it does work out of the box, including OTA updates. After updating to the lastest 8.0.4.0, no need to lock whatsapp in recent app list, just set autostart as said by the above forumer.
It includes all Google apps eg PlayStore, Gmail, etc. The gps is excellent, instant lock and immediate reroutings.
I use the RN4 purely for work, and its Helio X20 chipset does a superb job (open and view attachments such as AutoCAD drawings, Photoshop PSD files, etc). The only game I have right now is Implosion : Never Lose Hope. The graphics is awesome, even at High settings.
The only thing I can't seem to find is the Voice over LTE option in settings. Has anyone able to find it? Is it the SIP settings?
