QUOTE(futra @ Mar 18 2017, 12:03 PM) 1. Do a software update via OTA. Thanks for sharing..OTA is?2. Download the Mi Authentication app, just to verify ur phone's authenticity. 3. Download and install whatever apps u normally use. If u want to improve ur battery life, go to the Battery settings and fine tune (run in background, autostart, notification, etc) 4. Download the GPS Status & Toolbox app, test ur gps. (Also test in google maps, waze, here maps, etc) I guess that's about it. Do keep track on ur overall battery and SoT usage.  Newbie in Mi phone |

anyone tried memory card SDXC 64GB exFAT on RN4?
Ytday night i used old card reader (SDXC not supported) formatted to FAT 27.4GB on the PC, but the memory card can detect by RN4 but could not identify the file system and not possible to format under RN4. Later, I switch the memory card to old samsung smart phone, it can detect and formated up to 59.4GB. Next, I switch the memory card back to RN4, but still not possible to format and use under RN4. Now, i using my company new laptop with new card reader which supported SDXC, it can detect and formatting under exFAT 59.4GB. Any clues on the memory card compatibility issues with RN4? I spent for hours to troubleshoot memory card ytday night, not sure should get another memory card instead or else stuck few hours again for tonight....  |

just google a post:
"Redmi phone only support up to 32G of micro sd card. Any higher capacity will not able to write to it." Source: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/xiaomi-u...lp-5439390.html Source: http://c.mi.com/in/thread-18981-1-1.html But GSMarena reported it can support up to 256GB  Appreciate anyone to share your experiences about memory card compatibility.

QUOTE(zher4883 @ Mar 21 2017, 09:49 AM) If you are referring using sd card out of the box, this holds true. If you want to use any sd card more than 32GB, you will need to format it as FAT32 to be able to use it on Redmi Note 4 QUOTE(JayceOoi @ Mar 21 2017, 09:50 AM) Only FAT32 is supported for the moment. Unless you are using latest developer ROM that support exFAT. Noted guys, just google some info during working hours... I guess should use third party apps to format it into FAT32 only... http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA9fp863d-o |

QUOTE(GameSky @ Mar 21 2017, 02:08 PM) afaik if it doesn't detected by phone (miui), just format it under storage in settings..and it will be formated back to fat32 instead. There have not "Format" options under Storage.. spent few hours to sort it out... Only "Mount SD Card" options available, if tap on the options and it prompt "SD card failed to unmount safely" some sort...  FYI, i formatted it under PC under FAT 27.4GB (SD Card is 64GB) in the first place before i slot into RN4...No idea whether the result will different if SD Card out of the box and format inside RN4 only. I using SanDisk 64GB Ultra microSDXC |

QUOTE(JJKTP @ Mar 22 2017, 11:29 AM) Is your RN4 an official Malaysian unit? If so, any idea where can I find a flip casing that meant for this particular variant of RN4? Thank you in advance. some number of shops does carry flip casing. One of hp stalls said that RN4 casing selling like hot cake and running out of stock. End up i bought standard flip casing from roadside @ RM10. QUOTE(1qaz1qaz @ Mar 22 2017, 01:55 PM) biar betul? or u just joking? yes, quite fast to lock GPS when i use waze today.u using it? but still highly subject on the weather condition... |

I used RN4 for week...
Good Side 1. Battery life can last 2-2.5 days easily per charge without gaming, hence network limited to 3G... 2. Pre-installed antivirus, cleaner, battery optimizer, etc... 3. Double tap on touchscreen to wake up the phone... Bad Side 1. Bad that memory card supported under FAT32 only but not big deal, not planned to store 4GB file inside portable devices...

QUOTE(Lancewood @ Mar 30 2017, 09:30 AM) Ooooo I never tried the mem slot yet as I am using dualsim full-time. Selected sim always on 4G and standby on 3G. i means my GSM network limited to 3G due to old SIM card, nothing to do with RN4... However i stick to 3G network for the moments as 4G network not fully mature yet as RN4 may consume more battery to keep scanning 4G network... |

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Mar 30 2017, 02:34 PM) 4g network already mature. You make me laugh by saying 4g not mature. Are you staying at jungle? sorry, i should rephrase that no most of areas covered with 4G, that why phone may consume more battery to keep scan 4G, connected, dropped and scan 4G again.. |
