Hi all.
I just took delivery of a Redmi 3 in Switzerland, bought from an online vendor. The unit was pre-configured for English, had the Mi market replaced with Google Play, and very few pre-installed apps. The MIUI version shows
MIUI Global 7.1|Stable
71.91.99(LHPCNCK)
I have not rooted it, but have replaced the Mi Launcher with Nova for a familiar look.
The only real thing I miss is the lack of 5GHz wifi, which gives me poorer reception at home. But I also have a couple of questions:
While I appreciate Google Play being installed (and default), am I missing anything important in NOT having the MiUI apps store installed, or not having a Mi account?
I want to use this phone with Google Cardboard. But, in use, while the VR works fine when head turning up-and-down, it doesn't respond when moving side-to-side. The Compass app seems to work OK (if a little jittery). Is there some calibration that I need to do? Or is it just not possible?
There's a setting under Network->More called "wireless display". Does anyone know what this is, if I can use this to display my phone's screen on a bigger display? Is it Miracast, something else? It would be great if I could use this feature.
Many thanks for any suggestions. And this is just after day 1!
i believe that's problem with Redmi 3 it self, since it also happen on me, when i use cardboard it deosn't work properly ( ithink there is something with sensor, not sure if it hardware or software)
as you MIUI version, if you only need english language, go flash via Mi flash an official Rom or even perhaps Developer Rom (curently v.6.3.25) it's stable at least for me, also battery is good for few days (more than 2 day battery life-depend on how you use the phone)
Many Redmi 3 user also expirience the same problem. Because there is no real gyro hardware. U can check it from CIT mode. Akm or bosch sensor suffer jittering but only a few Yas sensor got the problem, by disabling the magnet in the cardboard. Like my device sensor is akm so i cant use vr but that ok i fell sick when using vr (borrowing my friends vr). I still hoping its only a software problem. Coz there is no gyro hardware, some said its an emulated compas and accelerometer sensor. If its true may be an OP or DEV can make the fix
I have the same problem, it's impossible to pan sideways, just up and down, it makes Cardboard useless. Hope someone can find a fix to this problem!

I just bought a VR visor, and my phone has a Yas sensor, in this case should it work? Can I use the magnet or not?

Some can, some is not. If your vision jitter, try not to use the magnet. See if it still jitter or not.

Has anyone tried any VR headsets with our Honor 5X? I just bought the Topmaxions (white) headset from Amazon for $19.99. I have tried a few games and videos but almost everything has shaking which is very difficult to ignore.
Are the head tracking/movements controlled by the gyroscope on mobile? And is there problem with the gyroscope within Emui? I am using stock Emui 3.0 on Kiw-L24 (US model) B130 FW.
This thread mentions using 'xposed' as a possible fix. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mobile-vr/cardboard/fix-shaky-screen-vr-google-cardboard-t3144144 Any ideas Honor users?

The honor 5x doesnt have a gyroscope. if you rooted your device you can use the accelorometer as a gyroscope. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/tutorial-enable-gyroscope-honor-5x-t3322256)
Sorry to say it mate but i think you just wasted 20 dollars
I downloaded an app from Play store called Sensors Test. After looking at accelerometer and gyroscope you will notice that even if you have phone completely still its numbers fluctuate excessively.
There is definitely something wrong with sensor on this Honor 5x phone. I tried my older Samsung Galaxy S4 on the headset and the games work flawless with no shaking.
Is there anyone that has a headset that can try our 5x phone on a non-stock rom(cm12 cm13 etc)? I am curious if it's the Emui stock ROM that has the issues with gyroscope.

I'm on CM13 and tried using a cheap VR Headset like yours. I also am running that same Xposed module to see if it helped with stabilizing. Unfortunately, even with CM13 running that Xposed Module, the virtual gyroscope still shakes. Given that this phone doesn't have a gyroscope, The accelerometer is used as a 'virtual gyroscope'. Looking at sensors test or other apps that show hardware stats, the Accelerometer wont stay still for some reason even when it's just lying on the table which tells me that either the Accelerometer sucks, or we haven't figured out a way make the accelerometer slightly less sensitive.

I have a custom rom (ressurection remix os) and have got the exact same problem. as i said earlyer the honor 5x doesnt have a gyropscope. you can look it up if you dont believe me.

Thanks for sharing your experience with 'Xposed' module. It's a shame the Virtual Gyroscope has not been calibrated better. Honor 5x is a budget phone and I feel it performs well enough in most other areas so I guess I'll have to use other phones with headset.

I believe you. I saw a thread way back where someone mentioned Honor 5x not having actual gyroscope and using accelerometer.
I just didn't know how much the headsets head tracking and movements would depend on the gyroscope. Hopefully someone adds better gyroscope someday but until then I'll have to use other phones with headset.
If anyone is interested the headset I bought is very good. Definitely worth $20. This is the headset https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01B...r+headset&dpPl=1&dpID=41TWbzg5XIL&ref=plSrch

A friend of mine bought a Bluboo S1 on august.... it now has firmware V10_20170818 ... no proximity sensor working and no light sensor working... a total disaster...
Bluboo itself released on its site a firmware upgrade ( 2,2 Gb of compressed files...) called Upgrade Sensor s1 which promise, after a long procedure, to activate both sensors... they also showed the complete procedure in a youtube video, but the video itself is in chinese language so that for the rest of non chinese readers/speakers it' s very difficult to understand step by step...
Anyone of you succeeded in activting those sensors ?
As far as it concerns, we understood that bluboo released two different stock of the same phone : the first stock has firmware Vxxxxxxx (and no working sensors), the second stock has firware L-Vxxxx and sensors already working. We tried to flash firmware L_V01 on my friend's phone, but no sensor war activated by this firmware.-... it seems the only way to activate those damend sensors is to installate the "upgrade sensors S1" released by bluboo but we can not understand how to do because we think the file itself is corrupted....
Anyone can help ?
Thank you in advance
Hey,
yes, I succesfully completed all steps and verified them on my Bluboo S1 (white). I even checked that the config data was succesfully transfered to the Goodix GT 5663 chipset. However, the FW BLUBOO_S1_Helio_P25_V10_20170818 does still not give correct light or proximity sensor readings.
I wonder if the sensors start working if I installed a "BLUBOO_S1_Helio_P25_L_04_20170908" firmware. If you can advise where to get the latest firmware I'll b glad to try and explain all steps in detail.
My second S1 (black) came with that firmware and it works perfectly.
Best regards
Dr.Go
the sensors still not work either on L04 or L02
those firmwares are for the second batch of bluboo s1 which support physical sensors
Regardless I have followed the steps and installed the P25_L_V01 FW update. The sensors still give no reading. I hve looked at the small sensor window closely and came to the conslusion that - just as drgalan stated - there simpy are no physical sensors in the first batch of devices.
I really wonder why Bluboo has put that complicated update procedure on its official support forum anyway: ht:cyclops:tp://www.bluboo.hk/community/viewtopic.php?t=604 ?
What a nuisance ...
Regards,
Dr.Go
I can not believe bluboo simply forgot to install those sensors... I read somewhere else that after flashing the update sensors s1 someone , with no sensor working, used a trial apk (can not rimember if it was cpu-z or something else... I don't have this device ... ) and the sensor where detected as present but not working....
I think it finally comes down to this: The chipset Goodix GT 5663 is allways installed. It supports the multitouchpad a.s.o. so it must be there and that is why the sensor itself is detected. However, the tiny infrared/photodiode and proximity sensor is missing on some devices, presumably the first production batch. This is an epic fail and we can only speculate why that has happened. Maybe that component was sold out at that time or it was simply forgotten. Who knows? I got a ticket open with Bluboo HK but I doubt there will be any reaction.
Later I will double check if the tiny window is really empty. But, well, I think so ...
Best,
Dr.Go
I have checked very carefully with a looking glass and as a matter of fact the space below the tiny window is empty. There simply is no sensor installed though the chipset supports it. Period. At least in one of the devices I have.
hi dr.go. how u managed to upload the .cfg to the phone file with guitartest platform?
Hi all! I bought this phone and the proximity sensor seem to be working but it only register two values, either youre close or youre not. The light sensor doesn't seem to be working as there is no option for auto screen light. Althought if you install any cpu-z or program like this, it will the detect the sensor in the hardware.
I've updated with upgrade sensores s1 Andrés próximo turno sensor works bit light sensor doesn't works yet.
I think our phone doesn't hace that sensor
Guys, Should we do a mass complain with Bluboo? That and also the bloatware?
Light Sensor & VoLTE _not_ working.
I received my S1 only yesterday and the first thing I did was to upgrade to the v10 firmware. I can confirm the following:
1) Proximity sensor : Working : The display goes off when I am in a call. (This should be good enough for most ?)
2) Ambient Light Sensor : NOT Working (No sensor values in CPU-Z for light sensor)
3) VoLTE : NOT Working (Reliance JIO network is detected, data works, but calls using native phone app NOT working.)
What about the bloatware. I didn't find many, honestly...
hi.
i have a bluboo s1 black with 18.08.2017 firmware and proximity sensor not work.
where i can find the L04 firmware..and how can update?

How can i do that?????
i have bluboo S1 Helio P25 I V04 20170908 5/8/2017 Bluboo S1 4Gb Ram black
I have an early s1 can confirm there is no apature for proximity sensor next to earpiece although if you touch screen at top left with a test app it will register a reading but does not work????? Also there is NO light sensor and only one of the dual cameras work.Bad show bluboo and don't bother contacting them they ignore us all ( have tried a lot)
Oh and by the way there are Trojans in SC weather and free touch apps!!!!!

Download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inpocketsoftware.andTest and see if your sensors working
Device check
Hi thanks for the link,tried it and as i suspected,there is NO light sensor,there is no opening where proximity sensor should be but as i said in previous post if i touch the screen just below where it should be the test goes from far to near (wtf),also with the camera test if i cover one lens with my finger you can see my finger,cover the other one and nothing,when i did audio test with supplied usbc to 3.5 i am getting sound from phone speakers and head phones, i hope this is just a faulty lead and not another device problem. I now realize why you should not buy chinese phones on presale you end up with a model that has not been fully tested which is a con as i could have bought the same phone 4 weeks later for less money and it seems with all sensor working!!!!! That said i still think bluboo should replace these devices foc (ha ha fat chance as you cant contact them) sorry for ramble but i feel cheated as others do.
Today I am returning my phone back. You must be a developer to fix all these problems.....
Hello, I have purchased Redmi Note 4 (sd 625) India via Flipkart. The same phone is also purchased by my friend via Flipkart.
But I notice variation between my and his camera and when I dig out the problem I come to the result that both phone has different camera modules.
I've a Sony imx258 back camera but he has a Samsung S5k3l8 back camera. So, I contacted some more Redmi Note 4 users and some of them have Samsung Sensor while some have sony.
So my question is while flashing any custom ROM will my camera work or not? As I think the camera blobs for both devices are different.
Note:- To view your camera sensor just go to Settings>About Phone>tap kernel version 5 times>version information.

Camera works fine for both sensors . However, the slow motion and other feature enabling tricks work only on Sony sensor.
You got lucky. Xiaomi changed the camera sensor from first Sony to Samsung and then to Omnivision. Sony is the best, Samsung is fine and Omnivision is the worst out of this three sensors.
You shouldn't get any difference if installing a custom ROM

You're right maybe I'm extra lucky cause I ordered it in the month of July and still I get Sony IMX
My friend broke his RN4 display and he's selling the phone and when I asked him, He is willing to exchange the camera sensor(He has the sony sensor whereas I've the samsung) Can I just pop out his camera sensor and plug it in into my device or things are different on the software level too?

Technically it should work because the drivers for the 3 different modules are already installed within the ROM.
What is the product number of you and your friend's device? It should be on the box (2016101 or 2016102). And would you be able to take a picture of your friend's Sony module? A lot of people on a different thread are trying to replace their Samusng/Omnivision modules with about 50% success because we don't know the exact numbers of module code of the IMX258
Thanks in advance!

NOTE: This Post Was Edited To Contain Latest Information
The Problem:
While playing any game that uses multitouch i.e. there are two regions on the screen:
i. Joystick area - with which the character moves.
ii. Aiming area - with which you change camera angle and aim at the enemies.
When you try to aim while moving, the crosshair is inaccurate and doesn't stops where it should but a little left or right off where you wanted it to stop. Due to this issue, the game feels like having frame drops.
If you will type too fast there will be a lot of mistakes in typing try typing some words on the keyboard on the extreme of screen, like "que", it shows 'uqe' or something else, the keyboard can't recognize fastly typing words.
Problem in zooming in and out, the touch behaves wierdly.
Many people have made videos regarding this, please see the following videos:
PUBG Bad Aiming
Zooming in problem while playing Clash of Clans
Multitouch Issue On Poco F1 Running On MIUI10 Mi8 ROM
Multitouch Issue On Poco F1 Running On Android 9 Pixel Experience ROM
What Have I Done Till Now:
I have replaced the product and the problems are still there, that means that the problem exists in almost all the devices. I have tweeted them, mailed them and tried everything but Xiaomi or Poco is not even bulding, they have stopped responding to any complaint regarding the device. Do you know what to do when a company doesn't even reply to your queries? you boycott them!
UPDATE: Sold the device and bought Nokia 7 Plus.
Report this issue if you have it too:
If you have the same issue, please report this.
This issue exists in all the firmwares : 9.6.11 -9.6.18
I have posted this everywhere and seems like a lot of people have this issue, Xiaomi is not responding. This is a fraud if they say/do nothing for this.
This is not the 3 Finger Screenshot Issue:
Sorry to burst your bubble but this is not the Ghost touch problem, if you have ghost touch problem, it can be solved by disabling this screenshot feature, but the problem for which the thread is made is totally different.
How to solve the "ghost touch" issue for now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/fix-multi-touch-ghost-touch-issue-t3837453
Why am I writing about this everywhere?:
Redmi note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro which were launched a lot of months ago still have this issue and Xiaomi is not responding to them when the problem will be fixed and they are just ignoring the users. If you think I am lying, just search for "Redmi Note 5 Multitouch issue" and you will get your answer.
Xiaomi has done this with us before:
Last time they did something like this was the launch of Mi4i, ask any Mi4i user, how they launched the device as a Flagship and later they pulled all the support for the device and made it so bad on the software front that it was rendered useless after just 1 year of use.
If this problem exists in all the units then they probably used cheap hardware on all the units except the armored edition that was sent for review or they probably ordered touchscreen digitizer from multiple companies some from good companies and some from 3rd class companies and randomly used it because these kinds of issues in a day old phone is not possible.
Update (November 28 2018):
Few users are saying that the touch is slightly improved in latest 8.11.23 beta. Slight improvement 'technically' means that the changes are being done on software and the hardware still suffers from the problem, result of this:
1. Problem will never be fixed completely, there will be slight or may be a noticeable remnant of the issue in some form.
2. Xiaomi will someday break the code and everyone will suffer with the problem again.
3. Fix will not be available for custom ROMS, unless someone manages to port it, Xiaomi is lazy enough to not provide the fixes.
But the people on the Xiaomi forums are complaining that the touch has become terrible after the update: http://en.miui.com/thread-4687147-1-1.html
Don't know who is speaking the truth.

Sometimes the touch is not registering, yes. I used the multi touch tester all and I used four fingers to press and pull. On one out of four occasions it doesn't recognize.
My touch screen has the same problem too.. Registering more touches than there are and missing touches too at times
Working fine on mine. Disable gestures before testing.

Let's say it is due to the gesture, should the display be able to recognize difference between 3 touches and more than 3 touches? and even if it's due to the gesture, why does it have ghost touch?
Well, after disabling it:
The PUBG issue still is there.
4 touch issue is less frequent on disabling gesture but doesn't totally resolves.
Now,
It sometimes makes strange loud noise, happened in front of the engineer who visited me.

For what it is worth. Flashed miui 10 v 8.9.4
Can confirm multi touch issue still exists after 3 finger screen shot but disappear after 3 or more fingers touched , sadly reappears when screen shot is taken again
I hav the exact same problem with mi 6x, that ghost touch input after taking three finger ss but this is gone by turn off but the hell problem is that ABOUT THE TOUCH LATENCY PROBLEM IT IS BIG HORRIBLE WHEN SCROLLING EVEN SCROLLING IN SETTINGS AND I HAV COMPARED TO REDMI NOTE 5 AND IT HAS FASTER TOUCH THAN MI 6X AND MI 6X TOUCH IS REALLY ****IN ANNOYING AND I HAV ALSO GOT KEYBOARD FAST TYPING ERRORS... THIS IS IRRITATING ME TOO MUCH , BTW I GOT THE SAME LATENCY PROBPLEM IN REDMI 5 PLUS BEFORE BUT NOW IT GOT FIXED BY UPDATING SOFTWARE UPDATES, SO I CANT SURE THAT ITS SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE OR CALIBRATION PROBLEM , REDMI NOTE 5 HAS THE EXACT SAME HARDWARE WITH REDMI 5 PLUS AND IT GOT FIXED BY SOFTWARE UPDATES SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN EXPECT MIUI UPDATES WITH TOUCHPANEL FIRMWARE UPDATES , ****ing work Xiaomi

Same problem here while typing. I've tried different keyboards, Gboard and SwiftKey. Same typing issue occurs with gestures or buttons enabled.
Global version 64gb, MIUI 9.6.14.0
I've tried a GSI build and unfortunately I've just tried the keyboard bug and it still occurs... I hope it's not a hardware issue. Otherwise clearly I'll send it back.
To whomever hold the stock version (will not root) of latest firmware I have few questions, before buying Redmi Note 5 (please include screenshots):
1. What are the options for camera and manual (pro camera if exists) camera? Resolution list for both photos and video and every available option in settings, on actual camera menu (portrait, regular mode, video mode...etc.) for both cameras (back and front).
2. Can you change themes (like Huawei has)?
3. How loud is the speaker and quality? (Both earpiece and loud speaker).
4. Does notification led work on every app? (FB messenger, Skype, Viber)
5. FM radio and IR blaster (remote control) how does it look?
6. How good is the WiFi and network (cellular) reception?
7. How fast is fingerprint unlock?
I'm buying it for my wife, to replace her Galaxy S4...finally, to suprise her. Salaries in Serbia are crap, but I managed to save some money.
Thanks in advance.

I'm running MIUI 10 on Redmi 5 Plus (64gb, 4gb ram, global version).
Redmi Note 5 is definitely worth the upgrade if your wife owns galaxy s4. You would surprise your lady in your life.
1) the stock camera app in MIUI has some interesting features. She'll like it.
2) themes are very much customizable.
3) sound quailty is much better than galaxy s4.
4) led light always works (depends on settings).
5) I don't use fm radio/ir blaster.
6) the phone communicates well without any noticeable loss.
7) the back fingerprint scanner unlocks fast. It's just awkward to use with short fingers.
One more point to note that you will get a free phone case and 5v*2a charger. And obviously you will continue to use your wired earbuds. Thanks to 3.5mm audio jack. Your wife won't like large/bulky wireless earbuds.

To whomever hold the stock version (will not root) of latest firmware I have few questions, before buying Redmi Note 5 (please include screenshots):
1. What are the options for camera and manual (pro camera if exists) camera? Resolution list for both photos and video and every available option in settings, on actual camera menu (portrait, regular mode, video mode...etc.) for both cameras (back and front).
2. Can you change themes (like Huawei has)?
3. How loud is the speaker and quality? (Both earpiece and loud speaker).
4. Does notification led work on every app? (FB messenger, Skype, Viber)
5. FM radio and IR blaster (remote control) how does it look?
6. How good is the WiFi and network (cellular) reception?
7. How fast is fingerprint unlock?
I'm buying it for my wife, to replace her Galaxy S4...finally, to suprise her. Salaries in Serbia are crap, but I managed to save some money.
Thanks in advance.

I have the global 3/32 version with latest miui, no root.
1) Camera is "fine", it's not a camera phone, I suggest you watch one of the many reviews on youtube.
2) You can change themes but not in all countries, you'll have to change country setting to have it work. I don't use the function, I like miui as it is out of the box.
3) Both good
4) It does, I don't use the apps you specifically requested but for whatsapp, twitter, reddit etc it does.
5)FM radio works with earphones plugged in (the serve as an antenna); I use the Ir blaster A LOT for work reasons and the pre installed app has a list of codes but it's mainly chinese stuff, I use Anymote for TVs mainly.
6)I guess it depends on the service provider coverage in your area but I noticed that my note5 has way better reception than my p8 lite 2017, and it shows on battery life, when I have low reception on my p8 the battery drains faster, this does not happen on the redmi.
7)Really, really fast.
Also, battery life (for how I use it at least) it's awesome. I can effertlessy achieve 6 hours SOT with a charge.
Thanks for the info. But, can you provide me with some screenshots of some of the items I had questions for. Especially for camera.
Yes, I found some reviews but it was from firmware long ago. I need to see if they changed something for manual mode on camera.

I recommend Redmi Note 7 or some other device like Mi A2 which are same price/higher a little depends but they give better quality If you don't use gcam instead of Redmi 5.
1) Stock is pretty decent nothing to be proud of and the manual mode is pretty meh... you can record in 4k 30fps which is better than 1080p and you can use EIS but It'll crop and only works at 1080p which is meh there is portrait mode for the front camera which is also meh and edge detection depends on the lighting there is no portrait mode for rear camera aka back camera. GCAM greatly improves the quality on front and back camera It's way sharper, less noise/at all and for video recording well that's not that good but there are manual cameras on Google Play Store which I use and they're perfect with some post processing It's very good. Also GCAM unlocks Portrait Mode for Rear Camera and It works great... I mean If you want to take pictures that r serious then use GCAM but If you want ok pictures just for memory then use stock. However If you buy the Redmi 5 Pro version It has portrait mode in the rear/back camera.
2) Yes themes are ok but last time I checked you can't apply 3rd party themes which is extremely annoying from Xiaomi but maybe It's changed now but I can't help you cause I use HavocOS but they can change alot and even better If you use substratum along.
3) They're pretty ok/loud but Viper4Android greatly improves that but requires root.
5) FM Radio works not sure how It's on stock cuz I use Pie but It works and IR Blaster works too you can download the Mi Remote app even on Pie to use it. (U need to have headphonoes plugged for me)
6) It's good for me 4g but not 4g+ or something like 5g lol and Wifi is good.
7) Fingerprint is fast even on custom roms It's good.
Thanks, but I do not want to root it. Even my Honor 7 isn't rooted, has no bloatware, but I use crc apps which work fine.
Mi A2 has stock Android (Android One) which I do not like, due to call/message/contact app and some other things and note 7 hasn't arrived yet in my country and I'm afraid when it comes, it will be 250 Euros.

I think the only way is to root your phone.
