Waiting to see users's feedback on its GPS performance and stability.

This phone has GPS issues. What the heck? Who releases a phone with GPS problems?

Fix is in the link below

I haven't get my RN7...ordered from Lazada on 27/3.. Below is the message from the seller...dunno true or not.. Anyone else facing this?

There is a delay shipment for Note7 64gb & 128gb. Expected shipment will come in by next week due to Holidays in China last week.

Hi guys,

how do you guys find the RN7 usage? Planning to get this for my dad to replace his another xiaomi phone.

I googled and found there are some users that reported soft sound on the earpiece, do you guys notice this issue too?
*
I'm into Day 1 of using this phone. Here is my short review:

Pros
Battery is great, really power for full day or more normal to medium usage
Screen is really pleasing to the eye
GPS no problem
Night shot excellent
Calls clear
Reception ok

Cons
Camera bump is quite obvious (need to be careful where you place your phone, plan to buy a camera lens protector)
Its weighs quite heavy on 1 hand usage (if you add case plus glass protector, it will be quite a heavy phone)
MIUI OS takes up 9GB space
Sim1 slot not working properly (Maybe I need to set it up properly? Currently using Sim2)
Ads (But I just disabled all of them)

I have a question of my own, I have a Aukey QC4.0 charger but where can I find a QC4.0 cable?

Alright, I think I'm getting this for my dad. 3GB RAM, 32GB storage. Which model you guys bought and where did you bought it?

Seems like the 4gb/64gb and 4gb/128gb very popular.
*
Im using 32GB, after install all the necessary apps, I have around 18GB left.

Does it lag a lot with the 3gb model?
My dad is a light user though. He's currently using a 3gb/32gb redmi 4. In any case there's no stock for the 4gb now 😕
*
No, didn't detect any lag when using it. Have 1.5GB available from the 3GB memory for normal usage

Hi guys, do you know where can I find ready stock around KL/Selangor for Malaysia 4/64Gb set?  smile.gif

Subang Parade have stock for 64GB and 128GB.

Why does this phone lose data connection once or twice a day when indoors? Do you guys face any problem like this? Using 32GB MY model. doh.gif

anyone can define the AI mode on RN7? looks like turn ON & OFF also same effect

Yup, it doesn't do much for me also. Sometimes cannot even detect what I'm trying to shoot.

Does anyone use Gcam on RN7? Is it better than the stock camera?

got the phone yesterday night.
installed all the basic apps. feels pretty smooth to me, didn’t notice any lag so far.
tried to find the VoLTE setting, no luck yet. is there such a feature for this model?
this weekend gonna try the camera.

This phone lags when launching apps especially Waze or Youtube or FB. It takes a few seconds before the app fully loads. I think it's the MIUI 10 is not optimized enough for Android 9.

Yes, dedicated slot. GPS stability is another factor that I am very much concerned on MIUI although it is very features rich and customizable.

GPS is a bit wonky. If you have bad network, it will take some time to regain the GPS back. Also when quiting Waze, the app just hang on me many times. Simple basic of exiting app can hang, 1st time experience an OS like this. doh.gif

Hi guys, I'm facing data disconnection issues when not using the phone. This problem comes and goes, mostly happen indoors. Tried reset APN few times and the battery setting doesn't turn off data when phone is locked.

Anyone can give solution for this problem?

Woow. Would be great if it comes with 5000mAh battery.

If 5000mAh, will be like holding a brick in hand? No?

You need to disable "Wake Lock Screen for notifications"

Go to settings --> Lock Screen & password

Today, my phone have screen flicker issues, when using fingerprint to unlock to in app. It will sometimes flicker once.

When fingerprint unlocking to homescreen, no flicker issues. There was no such in MIUI 10, now its the MIUI 11 giving problems like this.

Not using any theme, all normal. Tried restart few times still same issue. icon_question.gif
