P1n3apqlExpr3ss: Anyone having issues with apps syncing in background on the Redmi Note 2? I'm on 5.10.22 and I've tried changing app behaviour, particularly hangouts in particular to settings > additional settings > battery > manage apps battery usage but it won't ever sync in background

I turned that completely off after it imported every email address from every mailing list thread I've ever received into my phone. It's french to me sorry.
numfarr: So after a week with the Xiaomi Mi 4c, bit disappointed. The main problem for me is the screen: it's just not as visible as the Nexus 5 in bright sunshine, even on max brightness. Also, the touchscreen sensitivity is patchy and quite low overall, causing problems with missed taps and unpredictable/failed drags.
On the other hand the battery life is really good, especially compared to the Nexus 5. It can easily do 3.5 hours of Ingress, a notorious battery vampire, with the screen on max brightness, and the idle battery drain is quite low. It's noticeably faster at most things than the Nexus 5 too.
MIUI I really don't like. The launcher, notifications, settings, dialer, task switching, everything is poor compared to the standard Lollipop features. You can replace most of them from Google Play (e.g. it works fine with the Google Now launcher) but not the notification drawer as far as I can see.

jonb: At a lower budget level, I've just ordered a DooGee X5 Pro for $75USD ($115 NZ). Seems to be excellent specs for the price (except for camera) 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 4G, Android 5.1 etc - will do a quick review once it arrives in a week or so.
richms: the redmi seems to get its great battery life by just not updating apps. Twitter will not refesh till I open it, same for facebook most of the time.
Constantly am finding it off wifi and on 3/4g as well. As soon as I unlock it, it will reconnect to wifi.
jonb: If I was spending a bit more the UMI eMax mini is a new 5.0" 1080p, Snapdragon 615 phone with similar specs to redmi note 2 for ~$140, and compatible with all NZ networks.
:)
P1n3apqlExpr3ss:rmt38:P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
This thread seems like its worth keeping an eye on. Someone posted a link to the rom/firmware/baseband/who knows what that the retailer flashed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/try-to-unlock-lte-bands-t3198232
Yes, I linked to it above. But the answer you got there was ambiguous. The firmware is in the rom which gets installed, but it would be persistent if you installed another rom.. What I'm getting is that at this stage, if one wants to get a Redmi Note 2, they should pay the extra and forget the chinese bands.
Doh, didn't realise it was the same thread. From more recent posts it seems it's basically the same hardware, the only difference is the price tag after flashing software. One user says they bought the TDD model, flashed the FDD rom and all was well
