Dead. Had this a week. Charged today - reached 100% and turned itself
off. Cannot turn it back on. If the battery was removable I'd take it
out but cannot do that. Tried various power/vol combinations - nothing.
My phone's dead. Reached 100% power then turned off. Cannot turn it on again.

Well I think I've managed to repair my Oukitel K6000 Pro so this is probs gonna go on eBay. I think its OK but the battery is weak, especially considering I bought a 6000mAh battery phone for this precise reason.
Google crashing is also driving me crazy. Of all the apps that should force close, a google app on a google platform should not be one of them!

I had an issue with connecting to/saving my home WiFi network, but that was resolved by uninstalling McAfee Mobile Security. What disappoints me is the lag though, as I had high hopes for this phone as all my previous phones used to lag. I thought with a 3GB RAM and Snapdragon (Octa-Core) processor it wouldn't lag but doesn't seem to be the case...
IlyasMiah
4 Jul 171#87
Yes, I also have this issue.

I actually find the camera OK tbh, but it's been lagging a bit for me which is quite surprising as I'd expected it not to with the 3GB RAM and Snapdragon processor...

some observations hopefully helpful:-
Build quality is good.
Nice screen.
Fast enough even when a using high power apps.
No notification light is annoying.
Camera is very poor.
Tendency to get quite hot.
Battery life not the best, will get a day if used moderately.
Had a blank screen once which I then had to hold down power plus volume down buttons to reboot.
Android 5 - but does not really bother me.
I am just using as a stop gap before deciding what premium phone I should get. Bargain and well worth the money.

My Oukitel didn't last long either - poor build quality (USB connector); battery on this medion is a weak point and is not replaceable.

Probably the one I originally ordered but ended up with a "PAW Patrol Chase's Spy Cruiser" instead. Anyway, bought this last one. Fingers crossed.
Received today. Great phone, only annoying problem is that the buttons rattle with the slightest movement of the phone. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just mine?

yes either two SIMs without MicroSD card.
or one SIM and a MicroSD card.
pompey87
26 Jun 17#67
I have taken it out completely, I think you can only use the dual sim option without the micro sd, or it's not possible to use 2 SIM cards and a micro sd. Thanks for the help
cahir
26 Jun 171#66
One sim card is micro another needs to be nano-sim/sd card.
You are probably stuck on same problem as I was- if that's the case - try removing the the sim card bay/slot all the way - you can actually take it out of the phone itself.
Then you should see this bay fits two sim cards.

Wondered how long these would take to appear on Ebay, guy from Coventry got 4 for sale for £139.99
so that's £12 fees then probably £7-9 paypal fee's then £5-6 postage so that's about £15 profit very roughly. Not really worth it.

26 Jun 17#62
Anyone seen any cases for these?

Can't seem to figure out how to use the dual sim function with a micro sd. There's no instructions anywhere. Just a flimsy little double sided menu showing how to charge the phone and how to switch on the phone

Redmi 4 is a fantastic phone for the money. I own one and love it. But normally is slightly more expensive, long wait for delivery, accessories are more expensive than other brands and also usually takes longer to delivery and finally the fear of a fault and dealing with warranty. I had an unfortunate issue with a phone from China. Overheating phone, charger smelt of burning. Getting a replacement will cost me time and money

Notebookcheck says,
"Weight - 140 g ( = 4.94 oz / 0.31 pounds), Power Supply: 99 g ( = 3.49 oz / 0.22 pounds)"
Also states "Size - height x width x depth (in mm): 6.9 x 142 x 72 ( = 0.27 x 5.59 x 2.83 in)"
Might be Amazon's notorious misinformation at work, they can be flakey with their descriptions.

Really? I've got a tablet with 4.4 KitKat and everything works ok
There is still many phones with Android 5.1 lollipop etc..... Personally Android 6 Marshmallow is a requirement due to the inbuilt doze mode .... Deep sleep.... Which is apparently even better with Android 7
If the battery isn't the biggest then Android 6 will make a difference
quantum77 to crumpetman
25 Jun 17#28
er, does that even happen on android? iOS of yes, but didn't think android forced hardware upgrades on you...
Out of all them I'd say the banking apps is the questionable one. I don't use banking apps but I'm guessing there may be android security updates between lollipop & nougat that they depend on. Best to check the site for your banking app.
Edit: Heated because it's good specs for the money :smiley:
