If you have not received miui 8, your phone might using vendor rom. Go flash to global rom manually via miflash.

No, I don't think MIUI 8 will give you low battery perfomance. If you encounter such problem in MIUI 8, try Reset the phone.

Check if you have the phone shipped with latest version of Global ROM (compare to the latest Global ROM from MIUI website). If you stuck with older ROM and no update available for your phone (check via 'Settings>About Phone>System Updates') then you might have vendor ROM.

I just replaced my pregnant battery.

First I bought a battery which the seller advertise as genuine and cost me rm59.90. The average SOT is 2 and a half hours. AccuBattery app estimates the battery capacity only 2536mAh. I assume it fake and I ask for refund and the seller agreed.

I bought another one from different seller which cost me the same and this time AccuBattery estimates the capacity as 4147mAh. The average SOT is more than 5 hours.




BM46 batteries.




So if you guys need a new battery, I'm happy to recommend this Lelong's seller.

I bought my phone brand new last July. So it almost a year now. I frequently use power bank (Xiaomi & Pineng brand powerbank) to charge my phone. My habit is to charge this phone when it almost empty to 100%. I'm not sure if this contributed to the deterioration. My wife's rn3 which we bought at a the same time still in good health.

Before this, I use Mi3 for almost 2 years and I don't have the battery pregnant problem.

The seller have online shop both on Shopee and Lelong. However I bought the fake battery via Shopee since it have shipping discount. I don't want to discredit him/her since we'd deal many times and this fake battery issue, he/she resolved it quickly and nicely.

My silicon casing suddenly cannot fully cover my phone. There I saw a gap between my phone backplate and the phone body.

Yes, it easy actually, you can search it on YouTube for guide.

Format your phone via TWRP and reflash LineageOS. If you just reflash it without formatting, the Gapps will remain there.

I agree with you. I need change my habit then. 😬

His shop seem to have the only aa grade for Redmi note 2 unfortunately.

Use Aroma installer from opengapps.org

Yes.
