Hey all,
So I just got my RN7 Pro via the Indian flash sale, hoping they ship it to me quickly.
Really excited to get rid of my Nokia 6.1 Plus and have a Xiaomi again, I picked up the Xiaomi QC3 charger as well just because - I already have one and was planning on getting a QC 3 and USB PD charger anyways but is a nice to have.
I see they sold out really quickly, although the site handled the load pretty well. Managed to get the Neptune blue 4/64 version which is perfect for me.
So who else managed to get one and any idea when Mi will ship the devices out to us?
I hope not many bugs (if any) when we receive the device.
Was really upset that they didn't have the 6gb variant available, neither via flipkart or mi store.. was looking to pick that up
i got 4 + 64 + blue

Very likely stock issues. The f-codes that they shared with media and mi fans were only for blue and black 4gb variants, so they must have known that the others would not be available on the first sale.
I am a bit disappointed. I wanted to pick up a 6GB blue for Portal work, but the option just wasn't present. And they ran out of stock in 2 mins. I had to use up a f-code for a 4gb, much to the displeasure of a relative who was counting on me to give it to them.
I did not even realize they did not have the 6GB version available, luckily I decided to go for the 4GB Version.
With general use I find I do not even use close to the full 4GB, perhaps if I played games then the 6GB variant may be worth while?
I see the Mi shop have already shipped out the order as well, that i really quick! I am impressived, they plan to have it delivered by 15th March. So hopefully end of next week it will arrive in my country.
I wonder when the next flash sale is and when they plan on releasing the 6GB variant...
Those who have ordered, please let us know once you receive it and how the phone is and any possible bugs / issues you notice.
Was waiting for over an year to change from a good old Nexus, finally managed to decide and purchase a RN 7 Pro Neptune blue 4+64, eagerly waiting to get the hands on.

Same here. Was all prepared for the 6/128 gig variant but damn that was a included in the sale. Really disappointing. Any idea if that'll be available in the second sale or may be we have to wait more for that? I'll go for the 6 gig variant only.
I wanted a 6 GB ram variant but it wasn't available at Mi Home store. I purchased a 4 GB one.
My order is already here. Ordered yesterday, to be delivered to my address in the middle of Mumbai city. Really pleased with the speed.
Got mine today. Its awesome I must say
Got mine today. Miui is bloaty as hell and ads everywhere lmao
I couldn't get one in first sale.. almost bought but bank otp came after 4 minutes.. bad luck
Are the ones bought thru mi.com global? Can they be used in US?

Hi Folks!!!
I wanted to start a thread for potential aspirants from India interested in purchasing this amazing device!! Let us discuss prices and local availability, also if you can give a reason to move over to this device, would be a interesting to read
The product as of now is listed in SAHOLIC for 40,499 and will be available on 30th September! Anyone going for it? I myself wanted to but it through Flipkart!
Now let us fill this thread up, with the colors of India :good:
Congratulations. Lucky, you have white too unlike AT&T.
Now this is just a suggestion, you will find AT&T phones in ebay for around $575.If you do the currency conversion it is relatively cheaper. AT&T phones work 100% in India. You can sim unlock for a little price in ebay(around $2) too. All of this only if you don't care about warranty.
I will be moving from the US to India for a couple years (Delhi) this next month and plan on taking my att g2 with me, just need to find a carrier and get Sim unlock.
thinking of buying this...looks good :good:
I am anxiously waiting for the release. Flpikart has posted 42,490 for 32 GB model, and 40,490 for 16 GB. Other websites are quoting 40,390 for 32 GB model.... I don't understand why the escalated price on flipkart!!!
Flipkart is always expensive as compared to other website

Hmmm Looks like not many are interested to buy this AMAZING device from India, it is majorly due to poor advertisement by LG.
Its getting launched tomorrow, i want the 32gb version because i dont want to later regret not having enough space. Price is 43k, i think we should wait a month to see if they reduce price.

Most people go by brand rather than actually check out specs and features, i on the other hand dont give a crap about brand as long as the phone delivers.
But yeah the advertisement has been poor...i dont think ive seen its ad on tv yet
Im quiet interested in this phone. But 40k for a LG phone seems a heavy price to pay considering how many issues i have had with my previous LG phone (nexus 4).. Though i had it shipped from the Uk and had no warranty what so ever the screen cracked twice and the charging port malfunctioned once.. I ended up paying a lot for a 'cheap' Nexus phone. WIll wait for the early adopters to post reviews and will wait for a price drop as well.. And with the nexus 5 around the corner i would advice to wait and watch till you drop your money on this speck heavy phone.

Even I had Nexus 4, and i guess was lucky, i dropped the phone couple of times, and there were no cracks or anything as such. But now I sold my Nexus 4 and anxiously waiting for lg g2.
Nexus 5 has a 5" screen and 2300 mah battery.. so i think would be going with G2.
Its out in India.. Prices in showrooms for 32 Gigs is Rs40490.

It Will get KITKAT but not by stock rom. Bet Even 100 if you want. Get it " G2 Will Not get any KitKat in next one Year of Launch". After that even update won't matter to G2 buyers.
I have Experience: My G Pro haven't got a single update in last 3 monthsas its still at 4.1. Even when there is 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3 & Kitkat in waiting. ( Would Have never bought LG but couldn't reject the gift )
About invest lot of software engineer at korea : They all are *u**ing LG big time. CM with few great people can hold for great no. of devices but OEM suc*s big time.
After This You want to invest in LG junk """" Most Welcome, its Your Money """""
Guys what do you think, do you think it is better to buy LG optimus G pro than G2, what are your thoughts on this?
I was at the local Wallyworld today and they had a new display of Unlocked phones for sale. They didn't have the actual phones on display, but a card that you take to the Electronics desk to get the product. What caught my eye was a phone called "Huawei Ascend Mate 2 Slim". The specs on the card look exactly the same as my Mate 2 that I got on Amazon. The only thing that may have been different was a smaller battery (can't remember if it was noted on the package). The phone is not yet listed on the Walmart.com website. Anyone else see this?? Differences between this phone and the Mate 2? Looks like prices are falling, due to no Kit Kat or Lollipop updates???????

Not quite the same specs. I think that says it only has 8GB of memory.
Next time I am at the store I will get more info. Now that Lollipop is confirmed for our phones, these may sell very well!
New Info
I took a second pic of the info card at Walmart. Other than 8 vs 16 MB memory, and maybe a slightly smaller battery it looks the same at the Mate 2. I didn't see the phone itself. For $249 it looks like a good deal.

Interesting. I dont think it needs to be any slimmer, but if it has a microsd port still, thats a great deal. Thats still amazing battery life.

The battery is the same as the open market HAM2 and it does only have 8GB internal storage. Also, it DOES have the microSD slot. Basically it is the same phone without the 16GB internal storage. Fabulous deal....especially with the announcement of Android L coming first half next year.

I actually just bought this variant, and love it so far. It's almost exactly like my note 2 that died on me awhile back.... Loved the note 2. Unfortunately I can't afford another, nor the note 4 so I figured "It has almost the same specs, I'll give it a whirl" since walmart has the 15 day return policy, so far I'm satisfied and almost love it as much as the Note 2. The bootloader unlock method found on here works as well (Emailed Huawei for the code) Now trying to find an easy way of rooting and looking for TWRP.

Thanks very much! You guys have a bit of a different structure for where your threads go than over at the Note 2 palace as I like to call it. Not going to lie, I miss my baby, but maybe this phone will finally be the motivation that I need to start making my own custom roms for phones, considering development for this doesn't seem a 100% go so far like it is over on the note 2 area. Or at least I haven't noticed yet.

I just noticed in those images it has a different firmware version. the latest update for the Mate 2 is b148 and it looks like the slim is running b146. I doubt there is any notable difference between the 2 but worth pointing out. It baffles me why release a new version when they were not planning to update the phone at all until all of us that purchased the phone caused them to reconsider and give us lollipop
Do you see in the system prpoerties that it list the phone as having 8gb of Phone Storage and not 16gb. Mine has always said 16gb before and after rooting. I have the cc version.

Hey devs,
for about 3 weeks I have been a proud owner of the RMN2 Prime until yesterday, when it suddenly turned off and died.
When I got the phone I started skinning it down with jaik's custom boot image and also cleaned it from unused apps. So far so good.
Now, some days ago I decided to switch over to danielpinto's CM12.1 , which is really awesome compared to MIUI. No problems either.
I also installed Greenify and Disable services to get rid of some battery hogs.
Yesterday, I was out of home whole day, had minimal standby battery drain, but really massive battery drop when recording a video (~50% to 25% in about 2min).
Put it in my pocket, and 10 min later it didn't turn on again. I thought it would be the battery, but apparently it's bricked. No charge LED, no PC recognition, nothing...
I tried to unbrick it via SP tool and some really unconvenient tutorials, but nothing worked. I guess I installed all needed drivers now, but SP tool doesn't show any reaction in the progress bar (the coloured bar at the bottom...I don't get ANY colour, nothing starts when I click the download button).
What to do?
The RMN2 is a pretty good phone IMO, but now also my first bricked one. I would be extremly graceful if some experienced xda devs could help me with this as I'm really desperated.
I'm from Europe and ordering a new one (if I'd need to) would take some weeks from now.
If so, have you any suggestions on which device might be a better choice? It should be in the same price range though.
Thanks for reading!
Best regards
If it is broken.... I guess new phone can be redmi note 3 pro.
Only thing I can think of is trying with a new battery.. (something must be wrong with it if it drained that quickly).
Thanks for your replies!

Well, after I used the camera the drain was normal again and stayed at 27%. I also removed the battery and directly powered it from my powerbank, but it never turned on or vibrated...and no LED...

The extra features of the 3 pro are not really attractive for me. I've found the Elephone P9000 Lite today and I think this might be great alternative. Or I give the RMN2 another chance. Not sure on this yet...

Wouldn't it be less costly to first spend 10$ on a new battery before buying a new phone? In regards to a new phone, I'd chose a Snapdragon 650 powered RN3 w/ a 4k mAh battery over the Elephone P9000 Lite any day of the week. My brother has one and it's an amazing phone. Of course it all depends of what you find important in a phone. What makes you go for the Elephone?

Really appreciate your thoughts, man!
If I could be sure that it was a battery problem I would of course buy a new one. But it really appears to be a hard brick (I tested it with the battery removed and the phone directly plugged to the charger -> no LED, no reaction) Also the PC can't recognise it anymore.
The RN3 might surely be a nice phone, but for me the fingerprint, slithly faster performance and the battery are not worth 60€ more.
I just stumbled over the P9000 Lite yesterday and it seems to have everything the RN2 has + more RAM, LTE band 20 and Marshmallow. Negative is the small xda community for it...
And today I just found Ulefone! Geez, almost the same company name, but whole different stuff...there are way too many china phones out there!
The Elephone is down for a Ulefone Power or Ulefone Vienna.
Any thoughts?
Btw FYI, my preferences would be:
- at least 3000mAH
- 5.5 inch FHD
- Android 6 (or via update) + maybe chance for N if it's not asked too much
- at least 2Gb RAM, processor level of RN2 would be sufficient
- I don't care about the camera quality at all
- less than ~180€

I got it from Gearbest and it's still in their 45 days warranty. I'll probably try to ask for a refund and order a new RN2.
Sending it back, fixing it, then sending it back to me would last monthes...
So I'll order a new one today or tomorrow, I'm just undecided between Ulefone Power or RN2.

Djeeeeeeeeeeeez thx a lot!! You've made me look at that Elephone P9000 Lite, then at that Ulefone Power (looks awesome w/ wooden back!) and now i'm considering passing on my RN2 to a family member and going on a spending spree (again) I wouldn't personally go for the Ulefone Power because of it's less than great MT6753 processor, 16GB (only) storage and Ulefone's custom ROM (planned upgrade to MM, but yeah don't think it'll get N).
I'm actually moving to China in a couple of weeks and one of the first things I'll do when I get there is go have a look at the Umi Super. Check out these specs:
- SHARP 2.5D 5.5 FHD display (Gorilla glass 3)
- Mediatek P10 (MT6755) @ 2.0GHz
- SAMSUNG 32GB eMMC 5.1 ROM
- SAMSUNG LPDDR3 4GB RAM
- SONY 4000 mAh battery
- PANASONIC 13MP dual flash camera
- TYPE-C USB / SD card up to 256GB / Fingerprint sensor / Dual SIM (shared 2nd slot w/ SD)
And when you thought it couldn't get any better, it comes with stock Android 6.0 (yes you've read that right!! it's a Nexus!!!!! ) and Umi offers a ROM flashing tool (Rootjoy) on their website and the tool allows you to flash a MIUI, VIBE, EMUI or LEWA ROM, made for the Super, to the phone
That is one hell of a crazy phone! Now I know in your requirements it says "less than 180e" and there is a time limited offer on Umi's homepage to get it for 179.99$ (not sure about shipping fees). Anyway, I'm gonna get it even if I need to shell the normal 249.99$ price for it (it's more than worth it if you look at the top class components they've chosen for the Super). So screw the idea of repairing your RN2, throw it in the bin (or put it up on eBay) and get that unibody aluminium one

Damn it, now there are 3 devices to choose from
The RN2 has a strong community, but bad battery..
the Ulefone Power has...ehm...power and MM, but is unhandy and has no community..
and the UMI Super sounds awesome, but has even less community and it will take monthes til it would be here with me!
Do you have a link to the 180 bucks offer? found it
And are you in anyway paid by UMI by chance?
EDIT: Ok, somehow got hooked by the Super Now the only question is where to get it fast and cheap
I can't stand getting along with my old Lg L7 for so long!

Not in any way., I only found out about Umi at 2am last night when I was still looking at the newer China phones xD You can go on their website and click on the Super promo on the homepage (Snap now) and it will show you all the supported resellers (Gearbest and alike + 1 shop on Aliexpress/eBay). The Aliexpress shop (Deal Home) seems to be the only one having stock already (there's a certificate signed by a Umi representative stating that Deal Home has the First launch exclusivity) and all the other shops won't be sending anything out before June 20th. I've taken a look at their flash sale system. First, you need to register for the coupon (which they mail every Wednesday to the lucky first ones) and then you need to wait on a flash sale day (there was one on May 23rd and the next one, which we'll miss obviously, is on May 31th). Only on those days, and at the following hours: 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 18:00 and 21:00, can you get one for 179$. The 179$ phones will be shipped out after 7 days according to the shop. So this system 1) scks and 2) is not as speedy as we like.
But there's a second option. You can buy it in a presale (right now) w/o the flash sale crap for 219.99$ on Deal Home (there's a 10$ seller discount as well) and according to them, those phones get shipped out "24~48h after test well". Thing is, I'm not sure how true that all is since in the shipping option, it mentions "ships out within 28 business days" (but that might be a default aliexpress thing). I'd just contact the shop and ask how quickly you can get it (or the item is being shipped out) if you take the 209.99$ one. They have 81 gray ones and 97 golden ones left.
It is true that the dev community is pretty small, but how much of it do you need if they offer a stock ROM by default (w/ possibility of root, xposed, etc.) and many alternative ROMS as an option? The only thing they might not do (but that's the same for every other Android vendor) is to offer an upgrade to Android N. I checked their forum a bit and at least they're being honest and clear about it when and why one of their devices isn't being updated to a new Android version.
I just had a first look at the sellers today and at the moment they all sell them for about 190€ - 200€, which is still okay for me (especially compared to the RN3). That is efox, tomtop, Banggood and Gearbest. Aliexpress' Deal Home unfortunately doesn't ship to my country. But I saw that Gearbest also has this kind of flash sale on special days of the week.
They all seem to deliver from mid to end of June plus the shipping time itself. So it will be here in mid July at the earliest...

Ah the major downside of importing phones from China .. it takes forever to get them (unless you pay an extra 35$ for a DHL <8 days delivery).

Awesome. That seals the deal for me
Btw, this is Umi's official shop on Aliexpress. You can get the super deal and flash deal for their device right there. There's even 1 super deal phone in stock but unfortunately it's a gold one.
Maybe this could help, but is in spanish http://www.movilesdualsim.com/index.php?threads/117528/

In the meantime I ordered the UMI Super for 164€. I'm really excited, but have to wait until July at least, as it will be shipped from 25th June at the earliest -.-
And now I'm already wondering if I should send the Super right back to GearBest and buy a Vernee Apollo Lite.
I thought the Super would be the best of the best for this price atm, but when you see the Apollo Lite....
- Helio X20 Deca core (Antutu >90000)
- IGZO display that seems to be really power efficient
- better camera with better focus
and Vernee is said to get a lot of hours out of a 3000mAH battery. While the 4000mAH of the Umi might not hold what they promise...
I'm not really into the fastest processor available as you won't feel a big differnece in daily use anyway, but it still seems to be a better package overall.
Price ~200€, ~230$ pre-sale
I ordered aswell they working on the battery like the last update. Waiting for root =(

Little update and a question:
I'm currently pretty happy with the UMI Super. All I wish for is DTTW and a Wifi fix, but all in all a really decent device for that price.
Regarding the RMN 2:
It's a real shame that I cant revive it...so dead...yet so beautiful
I disassembled it and tried the test point method as a last resort, but I can't identify the test points.
Anyone knows where they are?
I googled, but to no avail...
Thanks everyone!
Hi, I'm from Australia and I'm wondering where would I be able to buy the LeEco Le Max 2?
Cheers,
Jeff
http://www.letvmobilestore.com/leeco-le-max-2.html
This is a link directly to the Letv official store.
I ordered one last week with an estimated delivery time of 3- 8 business days.
Seems only 4GB ram 32Gb storage models are still in stock for very cheap $259 if you don't mind the Rose Gold color.
128 GB version is also available but for a fairly high price.
The price for this device on nay other website is greatly inflated so I recommend buying directly through LETV using Paypal.
One issue is that they will not communicate with you / very poor customer service.

This is NOT the "official store" of Letv, this just one reseller...I don't know how you ever got the idea this was the official letv smartphone store.

They listed themselves as an official reseller. I guess I just assumed they would work kind of like Xiaomi and have a different official store for every region.
Again do not order from these guys if you want any service at all, they will never respond to you even if you open a claim with PayPal.
I guess I over reacted , they never told me the phone had shipped but it was sitting in the mail when I got off work.
I buy me lemax2 in spemall.com
got mine on geekbuying came pretty fast to the UK with TNT airmail just about a week for me.
Mine was from AliExpress - $230 with free shipping (took a couple of weeks)

How's the phone?
The phone is around 220usd on ali for rose gold and only ten bucks more for the grey version now. Must be the best buy of the year.. When the Le Pro 3 release I bet the phone will go even lower

Was it Chinese?
Also can you tell more about bloatware which can be removed?

Was a debloated, multi-language and Google-installed version of the Chinese 16S firmware that the seller had put on there. But I flashed stock pretty soon. Can't remove much bloat unless you root, but that is thankfully easy.

If you are saying it was debloated and already had play store then why did you flash rom?
Am i missing something here?

Several reasons - it was Chinese 16S so now out of date a little, it had strange scaling so icons were too small and some of them looked strange, and mainly just didn't really want software that had been set up by someone else.

If you flash the Indian official firmware, it is all in English, already has Google services / play store / apps properly installed and integrated, and doesn't have that much bloat.

What about updates, do you have to flash whole size rom?
jenkoaz, I believe LeEco had just lowered the price of the phone recently, perhaps you may wait a week or two when the new lowered prices are settled in the market.
As a former huge OnePlus fan, it's time to say goodbye. I never upgraded after the 2, the phones got more expensive and the upgraded features didn't justify the additional cost. I've been running my OnePlus 2 on DU 11.5 for months now, the ROM development just never got to where we all hoped it to be. I blame OnePlus for this not giving the developers the tools needed and really hindering their success opportunities.
A huge thanks to all the devs who have and still put work into keeping this phone development alive. Until we meet again.
As for where I'm going. I'm a 2 phone guy, one for work and one for personal. I'll be switching my personal over to the Samsung A5(2017) which is an incredible phone. And my corporate phone will be an iPhone 7...
Farewell. I'm personally not buying OnePlus again.
Oneplus is still using USB 2.0 in the OP5, over 2 years after the type C spec was published. There is still issues with jpeg compression in their phone app and it is not adjustable. Not releasing decent camera blobs for devs to use in their roms, etc. Oh yeah, premium pricing too. No thanks, I am done with them too.
My carrier has the LG G6 on sale right now, I think I'm gonna try that. I love the idea of a wide angle lens, and the Google camera app with HDR+ is confirmed working on it.

Yeah, I have enjoyed my one plus 2 also but the lack of decent support from the company has turned me off from them. Around the beginning or middle of next month I will be switching to something else. Farewell OP2
OP2 is still a decent phone even in 2017. It's all about finding the right rom for your needs. But yeah.. OP is a terrible company and have forgotten what made them great in the past.

This sums up my thoughts too. I'm happy with my OP2 for now but when it comes time to change I won't buy another OP.
What if I told you that OnePlus provided the tools, but no one here ever made efficient use of them since Grarak left?
This device still has life and its still a solid phone. I just got it and my intention is to improve it.

I would say yey new ROM !
There seems to be some good devs working on the phone still so would be surprised if they where all missing something.
I'l just dreaming about Google doing affordable Nexus devices again ... They would be so successful I'm sure. I first bought the 2 because the 6P was too expensive for me, but I still don't know about any other company which is "developer friendly" as OnePlus and Google. So yeah I'm stuck buying ****ty devices from a brand who doesn't car about their customers
Never settle. Yeah right.
Some good points here, yes, OP2 is still a good phone even in 2017. OnePlus turned it's back on it in pursuit for more ka-chiiiing, and 3, 3T or 5 haven't done much to make them sooo much better. But prices, oh my. Just got OnePlus spam in my mail, new OP5 model with more memory already! What? How much?
6GB RAM + 64GB Storage
499,00 €
8GB RAM + 128GB Storage
559,00 €
So I went to see my order from february 2016. I got 64GB one at the time when 32GB was available. Mine was 345€ minus 40€ for coupon. So 305€. Guess what OnePlus, I won't be settling.

Come on, stop. OnePlus 2 was not a good phone, is not a good phone and would never be a good phone.
How can you say it's a good phone when you see User Experience is so bad with the Snapdragon 810, when there is so much thermal throttling every time you are doing something on the phone ? (don't talk about underclock / overclock / custom kernel / etc, those are elements which are flashed after by the user, and are not relevant for every users).
When you can see that you can buy a OnePlus 3T for 350E on Ebay (what I did, phone is in perfect condition), you should not even consider buying the OnePlus 2.
Never had those problems, but I am not using it for games. Phone works just fine - not saying it is (or ever was) a great phone, just a reasonably good one. Mostly let down by software and company which became greedy, and yes, while being the latest thing at the time Snapdragon 810 wasn't that good. Still it works for all basic needs, even after 2 years specs are almost impressive and user experience can be ok. *Not* a power-user experience.
Not comparing it to flagships because it never really was in that category, and you also should put it in it's price bracket, you bought used 3T for 350€ while OP2 when new was 300€. So there's that. After having it for a year and a half I am surely not considering buying another one or recommending someone to get OP2 or any OP actually. For that user experience and satisfaction should be on higher level.
Actually i will buy oneplus again. Why, because it's cheaper then the rivals much cheaper. And i really like my oneplus 2, spent 100 euros for it, really cheap and good phone.

Me too on that one...
Bought a Nexus 4 towards the end of them selling out for like £150 or something, was a brilliant phone even though I replaced god knows how many screens and back's on it but was a great great phone
Efforts will be put in getting Oreo up for the OP2, specifically halogenOS 8.0
Any help is appreciated, if you want to submit patches, do so via review.halogenos.org, otherwise, if you have a device tree, let us know.

Hi CertifiedBlyndGuy, if I am not wrong then you're the AOSPA maintainer for OnePlus X. Are you building AOSPA for OnePlus 2 as well ?
