No problems here with locked bootloader. Actually, it doesn't matter whether bootloader is locked or unlocked or phone is rooted, FMD should still work. Must be some other issues.

I can vouch for this. Fmd is works fine for me on unlocked bootloader.

How about bank apps?

It works fine as well for unlocked bootloader. But bank apps might have issues with rooted phones. PBE would give warning and will exit,unable to login. HSBC would give warning and can proceed to login.

Technically yes. With dual sims you can dual whatsapp and dual wechat. I've tried dual whatsapp on my redmi note 3 sd. But wechat crashes each time.

how's the user experience give some review please
*
Initial review.
Somehow my GPS locking is much faster and so much more stable than Miui 9. Feels smoother than previous.
Mi AI not functioning. Maybe i need to set it up or something but i cant read Chinese for nuts.

GPS on/off button not available at the notification area. Not sure if it's intended or not. But my GPS works during waze and etc.

That's good to hear. One of my concern is bank apps, any issues there?

No issues for unlocked bootloader phones using bank apps. Just dont root your phone, some bank apps might not launch.

Noted. I usually use CIMB and MBB app though.
Ok. What about warranty?
From what I understand:

unlock bootloader, stock rom = warranty
unlock booloader, custom rom = no warranty

is that correct?
Sorry if the questions are obvious, first time on android  nod.gif
*
I'm not sure or heard that unlocking bootloader will void warranty.

Bought the Nikkin case and screen protector from AliExpress

1) the case didn't have full cover. As the top and bottom is exposed on certain angle. But nice grip free. They give free extra standard SP. Nice!
Besides, they give SP for rear camera. But quality not so good
2) SP is the tough and in good quality. Easy to install. But it did not cover all screen. Gap in between
*
Using the same casing and screen protector too. Great stuff. You might want to try taking pic with rear cam + flash. If got bluish tint on photos, is due to the rear cam sp.

Hi guys.. just one quick question.. Redmi Note 5 malaysia set got 2 ROM option available in the market? saw ads somewhere stated Original Malaysia Set.. then Global rom/China ROM..

Original Malaysia set should be Global ROM right?
*
Original Malaysia set is always Global ROM. AP sets could have global rom, vendor rom or china rom. Best to ask seller for clarification.

2.5 Hr is long for a full charge. I do understand you meant 4000mah, that's require longer time for full charge.

I rather it charged fully faster than require longer time to charge. Because if longer time, I will just plug-in and leave it overnight. Some say is not good, but I couldn't wait 2.5 hours for full charge. Yeah, some phone have those feature that auto stop receiving charge, once full charge has been achieved. Is this phone capable of that?

Type-C able to give quick boost. Eg. 30% in 20 minutes. I really like the quick boost feature, once one phone battery is almost dead.

Just sharing my opinion. I may not get the fact correctly, as I just based it on my experience and my everyday.
Good to know. Thanks!

I do realize that RN5 is no doubt more superior than A1. Don't get me wrong on this. I absolutely agree.

Sometimes it is not about features but those small small things that affect your everday. Or it could be just the user like me, who reluctantly to get pass. Either way, it is something that I factor-in.
*
You might like huawei's supercharger, 5A usb cable type C. Should be only work for P10 & above phones ( currently only have P10 to know ) Too bad currently RN5 require longer to be fully charged.

Currently i'm using this charger for my charging needs at office and at missus's place. Xiaomi USB QC 3.0 Charger

At home I use this charger . Keysion QC 3.0 charger 3 PIN

In car, just incase i need to charge. Aukey Car Charger QC 3.0

Update :-

For all my charging needs, i only use this xiaomi 2A cable. Xiaomi 2A USB cable Bought a few from Ezbuy for rm5 a piece last year.

Wahlao,
Take Galaxy Note 8 as example.
It has 3300mAh battery.

https://phandroid.com/2017/09/22/galaxy-not...charging-times/

It took 1:47 to fully charge.

If calculate relatively based on 4000 mAh, it needs 2:09 hour.

Half hour extra also cannot wait?

But of cause fast charge work faster from 0% to 50% and it started to slow down.
*
Not sure if its me only, but once 90% charging seems to slow down towards 100%.
