Xiaomi's RIDICULOUS, confusing, lying, marketing hype machine - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Dear Xiaomi,
Allow me to give you a little revelation; the majority of your users may be poor, ill-educated people, but not everyone you spout your transparent nonsense to is stupid enough to get swept along in your HYPE; you must think we're idiots.
#1: Your deceptive, vague (read: LIES) lead-up hype, just makes people UTTERLY DISTRUST YOU; anyone remember this GARBAGE about "MIUI 11: 16.10.19"?

WHY ANNOUNCE SOME ARBITRARY DATE IF IT'S A LIE?. This date was the VERY embarrassing, childish, ridiculous, cheesy Indian "Keynote" you decided to spring on your poor viewers (Indians must have low standards - I watched 10 mins, until I simply couldn't take any more of it - WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!) - I'd like to point out that I do love your phones - this is a MARKETING rant.
The LEAST you could do is not tell outright lies - that's not exactly a good start for a company-client relationship - DUH!
#2: Next - on "Telegram" you're announcing Betas and providing links, and yet on YOUR OWN FORUMS, you're telling members they will "be banned for sharing these links" - errrrr, WHAT? YOU are also sharing them!
#3: You've made the whole "Unstable"/"Stable"/"Beta"/"Release candidate" (you saw unfit to even USE the term "release candidate" - a well known industry term) VERY confusing, as you're scattering links, versions and ENDLESS updates all over the internet.
Whoever runs your marketing team needs THE SACK!
By the way, I had the foresight to archive this web page of Xiaomi's, in case they take it offline (they sure love deleting posts! LOL!!):
https://web.archive.org/web/20191030030421/http://c.mi.com/thread-2567181-1-0.html
Wow... seriously?!

Did you skip your medication? ?*?*

16th October 2019 was the release date for MIUI 11 China beta builds.
Xiaomi want people only in the telegram group to use those builds because they don't want a build breaking on someone's device who isn't even in a group where he can report bugs and get support.

You, what...?
It's understandable people will get banned if they're sharing Closed Beta builds outside of their Telegram groups...
Well, it's not like those guys can install the closed beta builds anyway, because you need a beta tester account to install it.
and just like what Elcoin11 said, 16th October was the release date for MIUI 11 China beta builds.
If you really can't wait, just use MIUI.EU or something similar...

are you ****ing kidding me?
never ever seen something similar...
people are getting crazy with MIUI 11...
unbelievable

(See attached image) actually, you can install their Betas through "TWRP"; it says on Telegram that this is the case, and I've done this multiple times.

DO NOT USE ISOHUNT or TORRENTS2HELL

Hey Everyone!
I Just poped in to let all the torrent users out here know not to use ISOHUNT as they have negotiated a deal with the MPAA and RIAA to submit all of their server data, including all members info and ipaddress's. It is also said that Torrents2Hell will be secretly doing the same both while staying in full operation. ---BEWARE!
Happy Downloading All!
P.S To All Forum Mods... This is not a spam I am just sending out a warning to fellow downloaders. More information can be found about this on Digg but i will not post a link due to forum rules.
Forum Poster V2
Yeah, it's true! You can use my site instead: myBittorrent.com! It's one of the few legitimate sites!
It's foolish to use ANY public torrent trackers/sites... If you don't know of a private one to join, it would be a better idea not to bother if you want to be safe.
This is spam and a deliberate attempt by a disgruntled ex member of our site (DERZ) to slander and defame our name. There is absolutely no truth to the matter regarding Torrents2Hell.com. I challenge the poster to bring forward even the slightest of proof regarding these ridiculous claims.
The op's post was made using a forum bot and has been spread far and wide over the internet in many many forums. I request for the moderators of this forum remove the thread as it tarnishes our name for absolutely no reason. Mods have my email so please feel free to email me if you have any further questions. Members wanting to add this member to there PG list can pm me at Torrents2Hell for there Ip address. We are not the first torrent site to be attacked by this twerp so all webmasters should be wary of this sort of activity.
Thankyou,
CaptnRon.

Bram Cohen always said that he never understood why public torrents were used to distibute pirated warez as all IPs are logged. If you use public torrents, you shouldn't be surprised if you get a knock on the door. It might not happen, but if and when it does, man, we'll all be right behind you I'm sure.
Remember, winners don't use warez.

lol good to know Im glad I stopped using them 3-4 weeks ago!
is this spam or fact?
I smell spam b/c this post has been made at various other boards.
Screw them, without the key my file server is a terrabyte of pure random numbers.
I am looking forward to buying a drive for my laptop with transparent hardware based encryption, it would make no difference who knock on the door.
I hate the RIAA/MPAA and their goons. Whenever I torrent, no mater what it is I am flooded with "safenet" etc trying to slow me down. They do not care if the file has no copyright of theirs they just do it to everyone on that tracker. I am currently getting a Chinese tv series that was free to air and has nothing to do with hollywood but they still bombard me.
Maybe we should write some software to target their connections and get 10 million users to distribute an attack on them the way they do to us.
hah, that would be pretty funny actually..if we spammed the hell out of them. You know something like that would make the news. Either way, torrentspy is now shut down to US customers ...
Torrentspy Acts to Protect Privacy
Sorry, but because you are located in the USA you cannot use the search features of the Torrentspy.com website.Torrentspy's decision to stop accepting US visitors was NOT compelled by any Court but rather an uncertain legal climate in the US regarding user privacy and an apparent tension between US and European Union privacy laws.

After being a mod on Torrents2hell i can confirm that they DO sell your info, but i do not know about isohunt, but you don't have to join that site to get the torrents anyway.
Ya know what, I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but if you check the IP of the OP (Torrwarn4) and Numbnutss I'm willing to bet they are the same.....

I haven't seen much from win mobile 7, a preview would be great!!
But wait ... ... month changed, eh?
April fools.

April fools?
Driven to distraction.
You're a sick man. First you torture us with TouchIt 5 and 6.5. I still can't decide which I prefer. I'm swapping between the 2 trying to decide and then I see this post. It's a form of torture you know. Stable or not I'd like to give it a try. If you need more testers l'd love to help. I'm learning (hopefully fast) and starting to explore that strange world called the Registry. Thanks again.
We're not worthy.
See - The answer is always somewhere in the thread. I still wouldn't put it past the man to have an early Beta though. Nice. I'm still chuckling.

Are April fools not meant to be carried out before midday?
very very VERY spicy joke
Hi Itje
You are so good man - I still use your 6.5 and the actual 5.04 and they work great though - but certainly I will be interested in testing your 7.
I hope it is no april fool gag.
Go on - you are my god.
I am so happy to have the x1 again - your ROMS make it PERFEKT device.
It is the second best ROM after iPhone 3.0 Beta 2.
My opinion this looks much MUCH better than 6.5
everybody said that Gmail was google's april fool back in the 2004 !!! what if it is true

Same with me... I thought that it's my fault before, but now I see that it's the bug. Can you fix it please?
Is it april's fool or not ITJE?
I love your 5.04, I tried the 6 but it was too buggy and also it was the time I've seen that there is a crack in my Xperia case, and I got angry and was thinking to sell it to someone so I downgrade it to R2AA. But now I though what the f..k I can't live without my XPERIA so I installed the 5.04 and I love it!!!! THANKS MAN...
OK is it you fooling us or not?

Shadowline over at the Topaz-forum sure cleaned up those new ugly buttons...
Hopefully we get something like that for the blackstone in the future.

That works on Blackstone I'm using it at the moment. He set it up for WVGA as well
Yes I just saw that.
I havent tried the new builds with buttons below yet, but I read they are pretty unstable. Hope they release a stable one soon.
Updated! 23037

that's probably the best looking shot of windows mobile i've ever seen! is this version stable enough to use yet? definitely going to be using that theme.
Im awaiting Miri's first 23037-rom, should pop up any day now, hopefully its stable enough for every day use, but i doubt it will be.
Im also wondering how Manila is working with these new buttons. Manila 2.6 is just so much better than titanium.

Best roms here

I started this thread mainly because the developer section's threads and the general section are being flooded.
Before and for all to read forum rules:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81
Now first of all....
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE *BEST* ROM OR *BEST* TWEAKS
-everything that has *best* in it's name is mainly made by questioner's preference.
E.G
You would not say that CM7 rom is *best* if you want battery life.
Here
Is a thread made by our family member REDLAG. Look at it it's the personal reviews of users about a certain rom.
Second...
STOP ASKING FOR ETA'S
Stop asking when will this be released or when will that be released. IT WILL COME OUT WHEN IT'S READY this is the main reason why great developers like Jusada and Nims11 left XDA so please if you don't want more great devs to leave STOP IT
EDIT: Now, even Spacecaker left our forums! If you came here to ask for Eta's then go away don't be a ****** or a stupid noob!
Prawesome's words:
All devs have a life,you know.Making roms is not their job..They have their schools and their girl friends to attend to.
Third..
OK this will be quite simple. If it says DEVS ONLY leave it alone. Don't comment unnecessary trash and ask for ETA's.
It's unstable so don't go making a thread in general section asking if it's stable or not.
Fourth...
RESPECT THE DEVELOPERS
Don't go to their thread and say "this rom is useless because it doesn't have (something like this or that)* SERIOUSLY this problem is one of the mains on the galaxy ace forum. Please respect them making roms aren't easy as you learning ABC or 123!
Prawesome's words:
Learns some RESPECT,If you dont know how to behave,then please..Stop posting
Fifth...
Read or search before posting anything! GOOGLE is your best friend!
Sixth...
Stop posting and posting the same stuff over and over and over again! If it says in the ROM description that ""This" is not working" Dont keep on asking is "this" working? or something like that.
Seventh...
Post in the proper section. You will get more help if you do this.
For example... don't start a question thread in developers forum just because you think it's more active than general section. EVERYTHING HAS IT'S PURPOSE
Eighth....
If you think that "why are these developers making *Other OS here* for android? "
Well some of us want to have something a little different. Of course it's android and it will remain as android but don't you want to break the limitations of it? well I do.
Ninth....
I'm sorry but this is really irritating me.
For the stupid b****es out there rating 1 star on an excellent ROM just because your language is not supported well d**n you. Stop it for god's sake making a ROM is hard and you rate them trash? sheesh
Tenth....
STOP BEING SO DEMANDING
some newbies nowadays keep on doing this like "hey I want this do It for me" at least say kindly or please. Be nice being too demanding will stress our devs and sometimes that's the reason they pause their ROMS.. now you don't like that do you?
Eleventh...
ROM MANAGER BRICKS THE ACE that's all.
Here's a simple picture by a family member MICROLIZARD

Ninth,
LOOK,READ AND THEN ONLY POST,If there is something you want to post,then look at thread,read the whole thread and then ONLY post.
I guess you're tired from reading all that eh? Now, here's a video of beautiful naked chicks to help you relax Here

Once upon a time there was an Exynos variant called U in Lollipop Land

Wanna know the ending?
............................................................................................................................
Well...it was forgotten.
THE END
P.S F u Samsung
How many of these whining threads do we need? Why not just join the whine fest in any of the dozens that already exist?
Yeah its not forgotten, most of the F,C,H etc variants don't officially have it either if you look at things by region code. They have released to only a few specific regions...
Beside from looking at some of the lollipop threads there are still issues with current builds, such as the lack of silent mode. Xposed doesn't yet work on lollipop TouchWiz roms either and is still in alpha on AOSP roms.
I think I'd rather be on 4.4.4 for another month or two, get a better release, and hopefully working xposed than be one of the test regions and have a degraded experience on my phone.
I don't get the point at all. It's just wasting all XDA users time to come in and read the post and comments. Please don't do this again, you're actually wasting not only your own time, other also the others. Thanks

Isnt it strange how quite a few of the carrier models have managed to get the upgrade before the N910U international unbranded model (mine is unbranded anyway) not whining Im just saying.
Also the U model desperately needs the update to fix the dreaded call answer volume spike, come on SS at least provide a patch to fix that, you've already updated ROM 5 times and not fixed quite a few bugs, better be saving the best until last!

I feel ya buddy. I feel your pain for it annoys the bejeesus out of me.
Sam fails miserably at communicating with their users. Tweets are an easy way to reach out and give some feedback what's happening... Facebook pages or whatever. In our connected society their silence is deafening and to me denotes arrogance.
For what it's worth FU from me too
I am stunned.
What is purpose of this idiotic thread ?

Classic case of boo-freakin'-hoo. Next!
Surprised this thread is not locked and deleted yet.
Everyone knows what Samsung are like with updates, yet they still buy the devices and complain when they're slow to update or even forgot about. If you want updates yesterday. Buy an Nexus
For the record, I own an Note 4. I'm content with it. Also, I got Lollipop on mine but reverted back to KK for now, used L on the N5 for long enough.
