My mother has trouble figuring out how to browse the internet without using the ok google thing. Thank god it does 90% of the legwork for me even though it's botnet.

2018-05-16 13:44:05 UTC  

If anyone is considering buying the P20 Pro, feel free to dm me questions about the phone

2018-05-16 13:44:36 UTC  

I bought mine yesterday and so far, its amazing

2018-05-16 13:55:09 UTC  

@Phatique not saying the battery life is terrible or anything like that, but SoT stands for screen on time

2018-05-16 14:01:29 UTC  

after using the mi a1 im fucking done with miui. stock android is much better

2018-05-16 14:02:11 UTC  

miui isn't that bad honestly if you have their latest device

2018-05-16 14:02:15 UTC  

they drop support real fast

2018-05-16 14:02:24 UTC  

especially on their budget devices

2018-05-16 14:02:37 UTC  

treble might change everything though

2018-05-16 14:04:56 UTC

2018-05-16 14:05:08 UTC  

miui updates

2018-05-16 14:05:18 UTC  

meanwhile rn3p has stable 8.1 oreo

2018-05-16 14:05:33 UTC  

it runs MIUI 9 on an older Android version

2018-05-16 14:05:38 UTC  

Android patch level is fairly recent

2018-05-16 14:05:46 UTC  

And they backported a shit ton of oreo features

2018-05-16 14:06:05 UTC  

No other manufacturer maintains a device that long

2018-05-16 14:06:09 UTC  

also if you flash global miui through miflash on edl mode it'll be stuck on chinese region

2018-05-16 14:06:16 UTC  

so you need to unlock bootloader to fix that

2018-05-16 14:06:24 UTC  

which is impossible if you have a redmi note 3 special edition :)()

2018-05-16 14:06:29 UTC  

that's the first thing you should do when you get a Xiaomi device anyway

2018-05-16 14:06:41 UTC  

unlock the bootloader and not buy the MediaTek versions

2018-05-16 14:06:44 UTC  

that's common knowledge

2018-05-16 14:06:56 UTC  

what if you can't unlock the bootloader and the issue has been known for like 2 years now?

2018-05-16 14:07:13 UTC  

you shouldn't have bought the MTK version

2018-05-16 14:07:17 UTC  

not mtk

2018-05-16 14:07:20 UTC  

what then?

2018-05-16 14:07:27 UTC  

redmi note 3 special edition with b20 lte

2018-05-16 14:07:34 UTC  

a.k.a the taiwan version

2018-05-16 14:07:42 UTC  

interesting

2018-05-16 14:07:54 UTC  

isn't B20 unlockable on the normal version, too, with a custom radio?

2018-05-16 14:08:02 UTC  

Since the hardware supports B20, it's just not active

2018-05-16 14:08:07 UTC  

i don't have a kenzo so i can't tell

2018-05-16 14:08:16 UTC  

so shouldn't it be a normal RN3P with another radio?

2018-05-16 14:08:23 UTC  

thankfully i was able to unofficially unlock my redmi note 3

2018-05-16 14:08:43 UTC  

i've had more issues with the stock rom than any custom rom i've ever used on this phone

2018-05-16 14:10:57 UTC  

@porco and yeah it technically is, but because of the extra bands, it's 2mm taller

2018-05-16 14:11:31 UTC  

Can you flash kenzo roms?

2018-05-16 14:11:36 UTC  

yeah

2018-05-16 14:11:45 UTC  

And B20 works still?
