Guys, if FTP on xiaomi phone unable to be detected on PC...
What are the possible causes?
FTP to the phone keep timing out.
Firewall settings are Okay.
Are there any security or permissions that need to be granted to to Explorer app?

It worked now after tinkering the PC around, also did not really know what. It seem like it takes a while for the router to identify a new FTP on the network.

Btw is it only XiaoMi OS have this Explorer that works as an FTP server?
Because I noticed the other apps that support FTP are actually terminal apps, ie. you need to create the shared folder on your PC and use app to transfer the files over to your shared folder.
Where as in XiaoMi Explorer, we are accessing the entire phone directory from our PC.

Will it be future-proof for the next 1 or 2 years?

I find that redmi 4x (not Note 4x) , crash a lot. Way more than Note 3.

It seems like Redmi Note 3 can only update to MIUI 8.0.6.0. but Note 4 etc are already on 8.2.x.x?
Means each xiaomi device has its own limitation on what version of MIUI it can upgrade until?

I tried to de-bloat the phone recently by clicking on some system apps like com.xxx.yyy and then click "Uninstall Updates".

Now I noticed that the display of the phone seems rather sluggish and have some shadows and lags when transitioning to certain screens like the Task Tray.

Any way I can reset those system apps to be more updated again?

Is RN3 brightness prefixed at set levels? I noticed I can never adjust it to the level I want. Between the level I feel is a bit too bright and the level I feel is too dark, there's nothing in between. Using a brightness App I can see there's only a slider that slide between fixed values, like 0.4% next being 0.8%> There's no 0.5 0.6 0.7
