Hello everyone. I just got my poco x3 recently. I tried to unlock it multiple times, but it kept failing. I know about the 7 day waiting time policy. But I have heard about a lucky few who got theirs unlocked instantly. In general, I guess I just want a general idea of how long it takes to unlock the bootloader on average. So, feel free to put the time it took to unlock the bootloader on your poco x3 down in the thread. Also, this is my first post on this forum as well as my poco x3 being my first miui phone. I would like to thank yall for being so welcoming to me and everyone else!
It took me five days to receive the unlockability notification from Xiaomi. Some people have gotten it after 10 days, others in 3 days... It's completely up to Xiaomi.
I think it's better if you wait, trying to rush things usually ends up in disaster. Is it that urgent? Is it worth risking bricking your phone by following some shady tutorial?
168 hours. And this is the standard waiting time. I've read about faster ways but they all seem shady and risky. Trying them may extend waiting time significantly. Just do it the normal safe way. 1 week is not that long is it.

This is info for people in the same boat i am.
Please this is info i have not seen and thought would be helpful to some.
ok.
I just got off the phone with tmobile.
again they acted surprised that my g2x had problems
but i told them i could not see paying a bill for a phone sitting on the table that was unusable to me since it had several problems i needed to carry my other phone so why carry 2.
they offered to lower my data plan so it would be cheaper
I said i had no problem waiting for the update since i do have another phone but could not see paying for it at the same time.
i asked if they had something similair to verizon where i could suspend my account until the update came out.
after there times they finally admitted there was one.
I do have to say they were very polite.
*********so if you have another phone or service and stuck as i am at this current time. you can suspend your account for up to 90 days. it costs 10 dollars per 30 days to do this but 30 dollars over 3 months is better than 270.
by than they should either have the phone working or have to admit it will never work. or at least gives 90 days to have the bbb or someone help you get out of this.
I know this is really only good for someone with another phone but thought i would let people know that may not.
Hope this is worthwhile to some*************************
I have insurance through "T-Mobile" and I have had to claim about 6 times throughout 3-4 years... sometimes near the end of a devices life span when they no longer have that decide they will offer a sideways replacement. I'm going to call today and initiate a claim due to my phone having a few problems not due to root.
My question is
Has anyone been through this process recently - and if so did they give you an option for another phone? Was it your only option?
Thanks guys regardless I will let you all know what happened after I get off the phone with them this afternoon.
I heard they kept a buttload of the last original issues just for replacements. That's what I got back in August. I hope you get lucky too. They didn't even mention anything other than "It''ll be there in 3 days sir".
Hi All,
I've been having a number of problems over the past few weeks with my OnePlus One, not quite sure what to do so I thought I would ask here for any advice.
Overall my major problems:
High CPU usage (and therefore high phone/CPU temp to the point of needing to turn off because of overheating)
High battery drain (and the battery will not last 5 hours even on sleep)
messages take between 1 ~2 minutes of hanging to send.
Phone randomly waking in sleep (contributing to the battery problem?)
I've looked into it a bit, I've disabled the Google Play Services from waking in sleep, cut down and uninstalled most apps. I've let it drain completely and left it off for 1 hour before charging to full and turning it on. I've tried to do everything people have suggested and nothing so far has worked.
My Phone Build:
Completely Stock CM12.1-YOG4PAS1N0 [Installed through OTA]
Kernel version 3.4.67 - untouched
Never rooted (I've been lazy), no custom rom, nothing touched in bootloader
Always kept safe, no damage, no water damage
I am thinking of doing a factory reset to see if that solves the issue, right now just looking on a way to backup all of my sms/app data (since I can't even titanium because it's not rooted) [All suggestions welcome if you have any good backup software/app that I can use on unrooted phone]. I do suspect a possible virus, hence the want to factory reset, especially about the messages taking so long.
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.
Happy to provide battery log or anything if necessary.
Thanks!
Hey there,
I'm so tired of talking about this topic that I can barely work up the determination to write this response. I'll give it a go though and I'll try to keep it short, simple and leave as much emotion of as possible.
So I've had my phone 10 months now. It seemed great at first but it wasn't long before I started seeing cracks (not literally). It began with the battery, or lack thereof. These days it's much worse but even back then it was noticeable worse than any other phone I had owned in the past. I first reported this issue... 6 months ago.
I'll leave that to sink in a little, before telling you that even now my issues are still not solved and I am having to take OnePlus to Trading Standards and receive third party consultation and legal advice.
So six months I have complained and begged them to solve my problem. And in that time my phone has gotten significantly worse.
It exhibits the EXACT same problems as yours. Down to the last note.
The battery... *sigh* Oh the battery. It now lasts around 1 hour of heavy use, 2-3 of moderate use and a bit more otherwise. Even if I leave it completely alone I have to charge two to three times in a 24 hour period.
The CPU seems to be randomly throttling. Performance from app to app will be vastly different.
The heat that comes off this thing is obscene. At times I literally cannot touch the face of the phone or the camera lens they are so hot. (I remember recording some temps once at 47 degrees centigrade).
My messages generally either send or don't. Or maybe I don't wait long enough. I just usually copy the text and resend anyway.
I have issues with my touch screen responding. Funny I never had these or never noticed them when everyone was shouting about it. Now they've released a fix I have them.
Some Wifi networks do not work, they get stuck forever "Connecting".
The phone no longer rings, vibrates or gives any indication of incoming calls. Sometimes it'll pop-up on screen, sometimes there will be literally no indication even on screen except that my phone wakes itself up to the homescreen and then minutes later tells me I have a voicemail (which also has no notification sound/vibration)
As it is I have finally, just this last month been offered an RMA... YES that's right, it's taken them six months to own up to an issue and offer me that which is stated in my warranty and within my rights.
Unfortunately, for them, it is no longer good enough. I have applied to my bank to forcefully remove the money from them and return it to me. That is being decided with the evidence I have, by my bank at the moment.
After that, the ball is in their court and I am free of them as far as I am concerned.
I wasted so much time and breath on emailing and tweeting them and getting no responses, stock responses, blanket responses, repeated verification processes, remote flashing of Oxygen OS to my phone by an engineer (which has brought up more problems, mainly being that Lollipop and Oxygen OS especially are godawful) and general deflection and delay tactics.
They are one the most disgusting companies I have ever had the displeasure of trusting, purchasing from and dealing with.
I hope one day, they go bust and I never have to hear of them again.
Sincere apologies for my vitriol but it is not unwarranted or untrue and I cannot abide. I am extremely sorry you are dealing with the same issues, you are the first I have heard to have the exact same concoction as me. I'm afraid we may have defective (and dangerously so maybe) devices from the factory line, but no one will own up to it.
Hi there guys. Im coming from the stupid Zenfone 2. That device was plagued with problems and mine is still working fine (except for the sim tray being shoddy and there being no technical assistance here in Brazil - at least not competent ones). I've read alot and decided for the Moto Maxx due to its battery autonomy and also because Motorola seems to keep supporting it (Marshmallow update and probably the next updated will also roll out, right?).
I am receiving it from the retailer tomorrow, and got some doubts: is the battery life and performance satisfactory even without rooting/xposed/amplify/greenify and stuff like this? Even if it is, have you guys done it just to improve it even further? I only use Whatsapp and occasionally a few games here and there, but the ****ing Zenfone 2 won't even last through 3 hours SOT.
Can you guys give me your personal opinions on the device? Given the price range, would you nowadays opt for another one or would keep it?
Thanks in advance!

I bought a 3rd one earlier this year -- new -- to keep as a backup since I like my first two so much (my wife and I use them daily). So, I own three, yeah.
Yes, Marshmallow can be rooted and Xposed installed. Is there a link yet to the OTA? Last I heard people were still installing all three stages of the recent Marshmallow soak test. Stage 3 became the final version, but I didn't know there was a download link yet.
One of the devs who maintains two custom ROMs, TWRP and a custom kernel for this phone (code name Quark), is in Brazil. @baybutcher27.
Of course, Brazil is a big country. I've been there half a dozen times, will be going back in a few months.
Yes the battery life is great, and with custom ROMs + kernel becomes even better. I play games on my Droid Turbo pretty frequently and they run great without a hitch. I love my phone
got mine last month
In my case it was a toss up between this and the HTC A9, a killer phone by all means, sure, it has a nice DAC but the puney 1900mah battery steered me towards the maxx,I use it for gaming ,etc overall medium usage and I never have to get ahold of my charger till night, on days when I don't use it that much it lasts for 1.5 , or even almost 2 days, this is all without greenifying or anything mind you, although the MM ROM I have might've played a good part in it
the audio IMO is a little lacking but overall I'm happy
Hope this helped
Thank you all you guys for your input! Have you tried any custom roms? If so which one is your favourite? Im putting my hands in it later today, cant wait to hammer down my Zenfone 2
I got the Honor play about 2 weeks ago, returned it on Saturday just gone.
Was an OK phone with a few issues, till I came use pop my sim card in, then the auto dim in most apps that CAN NOT be disabled short of ADB' deleting the app started driving me mad, I returned it
Looking at the 7 plus, Argos has it at £200
Any common issues or problems ?
Usb c failing in almost all units after a couple of months.
so not a durable port then on the 7 ?

Mine is working without any hardware problems since oktober 2018.
Most people have no problems, but some do have problems and they tend to react more then persons who are happy.
This is for all things, not just Nokia phones

Couldn't agree more,
A guy who bought the phone 6 month ago tell you that he has no problem with the port and people overreact, LOL. Yes, 6 month ago of a phone that is supposed to last 2 years.
You just have to wait my friend, i was feeling lucky when i was reading the people complaining, maybe is some batch, or something, i thought... Just wait and then come back to here.
To the OP, you can go to Nokia forum and check the number of view of the "usb c port failure" and take your own conclusions. There is people that have problems with screen and touch.
Apart from this 2 things the phone is quiet good!

That you don't have problem with the port doesn't mean that is not a common problem with a lot of user facing issues. In general i think is a matter of time, maybe a little bit of luck also. The usb c is designed to last 5000 plug and un-plug at least. If a lot of people have problems with that, it means the design or quality control is not good. It doesn't imply you are going to have a problem with that, maybe yours work perfect and last 5000 plug and un-plug. It is a matter of number of people having this problem. I have godix screen to and is working perfect.

I have the phone for a year also. No problems whatsoever.
Great phone. As someone already said, unhappy people are the one reacting more than the others. £200 is a great price for processor sd660, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage and fhd and Android one.
Nokia forum is populated mostly by india/Asia users, so I can talk about that part of the world.
It is a nice phone though (only a bit too big).
Have had the Nokia 7+ since it came out in UK (TA-1055) Feb 2018 and no problems at all Brilliant phone for the money.

Hi,
bought the phone in july 2018. I love it, fast, snappy, consistent updates, long battery, nice camera and so on, overall nice experience.
BUT : Failing usb C for a month now and a strange looking yellowish stain on the top left of the display. The problem is I am living in another country at the moment and giving the phone back for a replacement/repair is a pain in the a**. Nevertheless, even though I have these problems I will still buy the same one if I had to take the decision now, just because of the small possibillity that this does not happen again. I am travelling at the very moment and imagine what a nightmare it is to keep a phone charged when the port is working only in one position with something heavy on top of it everytime so it enables fast charge otherwise it charges with 60 mA instead of 1500+mA... Consider the risk and I wish you good luck with your purchase, hopefully you make the right decision.
