Anyone got experience this metal bend at the volume control area? Seems like common issue.

hi looking to buy 1 unit of redmi note 3 pro as a second phone.
I'm wondering how's the GPS performance? Can anyone give me some review?
*
Its average. Not able to pinpoint exact location if you are in a building (pokemon go).

Changed new 3rd party battery with exact fitting. DIY it and is quite simple.
Original battery bloated after 3 months usage since purchased. So far so good for the new battery endurance.

Any idea if i can download and update 8.1.6.0 on a locked bootloader?

My 1 week old Note 3 Snapdragon 2/16G, many time the waze took forever to find GPS, google maps too. Have to reboot the phone only ok. Hope the update will fix the problem.

Did you set the GPS to high accuracy? Hold the GPS button above> high accuracy.

Yup

Hope other forumer can give some light on this issue. My SD unit doesnt have GPS locking problem unless I am in a high rise building or a mall. I know MTK SoC does have issue with GPS.

Hi guys, I just updated to 8.2.2.0 and I notice that there is no more vibration when unlocking with finger print. How do I get back the vibration?

That happened to me on 8.2.1 too. So I guess 8.2 don't have vibrate on fingerprint.
Also it unlocks doesn't matter if the phone in pocket or face down, if you put correct fingerprint it will unlock. I wish they can bring back no unlocking in pocket.

I jump from 8.1.x to 8.2.2. Yeap wish they would bring it back sad.gif , haptic feedback is somehwhat necessary

I wonder if the launcher make any different with the phone "laggy" issue or not.
*
IMO, yes to an extent . A launcher with lighter 'skin' makes the whole IU smoother. But when you do launch an app and it starts to lag, thats usually hardware's problem.

Ok.

This version 8 miui really bad.  Let me hold for couple more months if still no improvement will jump ship.
*
Since its bad, just change to other launchers.
I changed since the 1st day I gotten mine after only using MIUI for around 1~2 hours. ( Just changing launcher, not flashing )

changing to another launcher is only wasting resources. A lot of miui is already integrated into the system that will still run even when you use another launcher. That i why i had to endure with miui.
*
True that. But I use launcher because basic usage are handled by the launcher while in the settings and such are not used unless needed are by MIUI.
