Got the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Handset for my son through Amazon. It's the 2GB/16GB model. Costed 9998/- It's a dual sim/dual standby handset. If you want to use the micro sd card port to expand memory then you will have to sacrifice one sim. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core processor with a clock speed of 1.8Ghz, a 5.5" Full HD display IPS panel, 16MP rear and a 5MP front shooter and a 4000maH battery which easily lasts two days with moderate usage. In the box Front Rear Aluminum body with the top and bottom plastic accents for better reception for the antennas they house. Quite iphone like premium build. Very lightweight for such a big phone and very easy to hold in hand. Bottom view of the micro usb port and the mic The left side has only the sim slot Which opens by this provided tool To reveal this sim housing which houses the sim 1 and sim2/micro sd hybrid slot The right side has the power and the volume buttons which are excellently finished and provide a tactile feel The top view which houses the 3.5mm jack, secondary mic, and yes, a IR blaster. You can use the phone to fully control all your electronic devices. A view of the front facing camera and the earpiece. All other sensors (proximity, light etc.) are hidden and not visible to the eye. A view of the rear camera, dual flash and yes, a very fast and excellent fingerprint sensor. A 2Amp fast charger is provided and even though they do not claim fast charging, I can confirm that fast charging works great. A size comparison with my Asus Zenfone 2. Same screen size but still the RN3 is more compact even after having a much bigger battery. It also has more premium feel in hand compared to the Asus which costed almost twice. Yes, it is VoLTE enabled and Jio compatible The APN setting done by the Reliance World chap, in case anyone is interested The preferred network (according to him) has to be at Global. But none worked for EVDO (till now) About Phone The mobile network state stays at connecting while trying to connect to EVDO While it did connect once while it was on 1x Speeds were pathetic on 1x though But amazing speeds on WiFi Some views of the box and SAR values. It is a MADE IN INDIA product. Cheers for now from dkaile Rest, some points I have discussed on the other "Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 supports CDMA" thread. More inputs to follow here.

So received the RGE OMH sim and it should be up and running tomorrow. But I was speaking to a Reliance Webworld friend and he told me that the EVDO is not activating on the RN3 because on cdma mode it's meid shows as all 0 which is blocked by Reliance at the backend. And it can easily be activated but needs backend intervention and a complaint needs to be raised and that is how people have been able to get RN3 work on Reliance CDMA even on REC sims. Hopefully it should work by default on this RGE sim otherwise it will be done from the backend. And yes I did try all tricks in the book that people want me to, with or without apn and in manual mode...lolz. But then I also received the news from the local webworld that Reliance CDMA will be stopping operations on May 1. However people will be given a Reliance 4G sim and they will be first ones to taste 4G on band 850 (B3), even before Jio. So there seems some light at the end of the tunnel for the existing cdma customers. However Reliance may not be able to compete with Jio in terms of tarrif. I checked the bands of RN3 - And it is compatible with all possible bands that will operate in India. Cheers...

Rear Camera Image Quality (image is unprocessed, only resized to 800x600) - EVDO is still not working. Waiting for the RGE sim to arrive. On CDMA, phone, sms etc. working perfectly. Data working perfect on Airtel 3G GSM. - No major heating issue on heavy usage. Normal warming up occurs in all phones. - MIUI 7.1 is a fantastic OS. Very fast between multiple apps. - Available memory is only around half of the 16GB, so either go in for a higher memory 32GB variant (if and when available) or use a micro sd card with one sim. I am using a additional 16GB card. - Stock speaker quality is decently loud and clear. It rocks with headphones on. Listening to 'Bulletproof' from 'La Roux' while typing. - Watching 'Star Wars - The Force Awakens' awakened my senses....lolz. Screen is quite good. Can't expect anymore from a sub 10k phone. I think it is one of the best sub 10k phones in India as of this moment.

I happen to check a friend's Redmi Note 3 16gb version. We popped in my Relaince CDMA sim and it was working out of the box. Sent HSD to 55333 and voila, even EVDO was working at above 1mbps download speeds.

If they would have listened to customers voice then rcom cdma service would have been no 1 in india the cdma is in shambles all due to step motherly treatment meted out to cdma subscribers by company itself

Very strange step from reliance cdma Over the years the network grew like anything there are n number of subscribers of the R cdma But they have behaved like a step mother for not introducing the good handsets exclusively for cdma users like the sprint and verizon in USA every newly launched handset is available in USA on cdma I remember haunting for good handsets but all in vain in the past thanks to the imported sets now we have good imported sets to use but now the network is going to close I just wonder what would have been the number of subscribers if the handsets were as per choice of customer not the company Reliance cdma should see this as an oppotunity to introduce redmi note 3 on its network officially so that the customers are attracted And we could use the great handset redmi note 3 with the no 1 network in voice clarity and data prices also great signal strength Reliance should tie up with xiaomi to manufacture handsets compatible to the cdma network May the handset would cost 1000 rs I dont know if there is any reliance official connected to rimweb and lostening to me

:cheer: :cheer:

just contact reliance from instacare. backend team contacts you for evdo. as RN3 SHows MEID 000000 on CDMA sim slot. i sold my RN3 on 2nd april. but today i order more than 3 pieces, will post snapshot soon.

Hi Guys, Like I said in my introduction post, I'm still discovering and familiarizing with the things. Please ignore me If I'm digging old stuff. As said I'm very new reliance CDMA customer with two devices (ZTE AC3633 and Huawei EC306 plus OMH card).ZTE AC3633 looks like a crappy hardware as when I use it heavily starts dissipating huge amounts of heat and with that it also disconnects internet frequently, adding to that the WiFi goes completely off frequently (at least 1 or 2 times a day) in which had to switch it off and on to get it back. Recently I've unlocked the MTS Huawei EC306, it was really easy for me being a tech guy myself after checking various sites/forums and also came across various old hacks related to Huawei EC306. Really liking this device which I got it for Rs.400/- from eBay. After knowing various things I thought of implementing some of the old hacks with some modifications and improvisations. I've just ordered some stuff from china and will reveal all my project details once I start the project.Thats said, now I'm looking into software side and was really curious to have all the features such as voice call, call log, USSD and others. This is where I really can't find enough info on the supported dashboard features of EC306. I also found smartfren dashboard for EC306-2 with call feature but not sure the pic is legitimate or some fake. After all this I thought its better to post here and get some really good advice from some of the smart wise old gentlemens of this community. I'm sure many of them in this community are most experienced than me and might definitely come across my query some time in past. Hoping for the best I'll leave it to you guys. Please let me know the details of any modem that supports CDMA Rev B. with full dashboard features. Also as you all know the main reason to get this is to make use of the Rs.949/- unlimited plan with calls, sms and data. Thank you and Regards, i0s9

GSM with 3G HSPA+ unlocked on LG Tribute5 LS675 using SPR LS990 method after root with Kingroot 4.8.3.apk. After placing node.db file in carrier folder, look for the cust.prop and edit the lines ro.cdma.home.operator to Chameleon and ro.numeric to 000000. Save and exit. This will bring GSM/UMTS selection option in mobile networks settings. Do not rename or delete any system files in Tribute 5. Only freeze them by de-bloater pc app. Do not unroot after GSM unlock process. To be safe, take a qcn backup in qpst before beginning this process. Sent from my K016 using Tapatalk
