Looking to order 1.

Is the ringtone volume loud enough on the S7 cos I mostly ride around in 2 wheelers. Saw few reviews mentioning about low speaker volume. Hence the query.

I ordered LG Q6 for my Mother in Law. Her Nexus 5 gave in. Exchanged on Amazon during sale yesterday. 5k exchange credit. final cost paid was 8k after exchange discount. I will post experience after delivery today. I had to limit myself strictly to nexus 5 dimensions as asked by MIL. Other options like Mi Note 4 and other options were wider. Screen looks really nice because of narrow bazels on top and bottom like bigger sibling G6.

Thanks. Some solace that it has given me the chance to buy a new phone.

The speaker is very good but not "loud" and there's water ingress protection behind the grill which can muffle the sound. With the right ringtone and vibration intensity set to high, you should be OK.

The speakers on some OnePlus phones are considerably louder, for reference.

A silly question from my side, i have booked a Redmi note 4 for my mom which will be delivered by Monday. Currently she uses some samsung galaxy phone which is 2-3 years old (cant recollect the exact model). So my question is, how to transfer all her data to the new redmi note 4 ? Is SHAREit of any use ? Contacts and photos are top priorities.
PS: I use an iPhone so seriously have never used SHAREit.

Download an app called "Mi Mover" from the play store, and use it as per the instructions. Contacts should not be an issue if you can sign in to the new phone with the same google account, the contacts will be in the phone automatically.

Open Shareit
Go to menu and you'll get an option Cloneit
It'll take you to Playstore and you have to install this app on both phones.
From that you can copy everything from your old phone

Gentlemen, I too have a similar question, however, the equation here contains a dinosaur by the name of Lumia 520. The Mi mover on my new Redmi 4 (recipient) is unable to sync with my old Lumia to copy contacts as the Lumia is unable to scan the QR code on the Redmi. Neither could I find any app that could be downloaded on the Lumia to help matters.

I am loathe to reinsert the SIM back to the Lumia from the Redmi to copy contacts to SIM and again back to Redmi. Any pointers?

I have done this before but it is a little complicated.

If you can manage to send the contacts via bluetooth that would be the easiest though time consuming.

If not, please connect your lumia to an Outlook/live/hotmail account and then download the contacts from that onto to your pc. Then transfer the .csv file to your Redmi.(or alternatively upload that in the gmail account that is linked to your Redmi)

Got my Note 8 today - having fun with it since afternoon.

Cannot quick launch the camera as its supposed to by double tapping the power button. I feel some update has not come thru.

Has anyone purchased the Note 8 and facing the same issue?

Cheers

Congrats on the Note 8.
I have S8+. Apparently, after the August update which was 600+mb, this quick launch was disabled. There is no option to enable it in the settings.

I guess this is due to govt mandate on SOS call using power button.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was going crazy trying to figure it out, am relieved there is nothing wrong with my phone

YouTube shows its possible from the camera settings, so possibly its enabled for users other than India.

Cheers

Inputs needed for a phone purchase in USA!

Requirements:
- No iPhone
- No Samsung. Worse case S7 Edge.
- Should be Unlocked, preferably with some warranty.

I am currently using a Xiaomi Note 4 since May 2016 and the headphone port has gone for a toss (always ON headphone state).
Doing a factory reset tomorrow, to see if it works.
I am currently in US with no access to the neighborhood mobile guy to fix this. Will do so when I come to India for vacation.

Just curious .. Why no Samsung?

How about the Moto Z2 Force? I had the Moto Z before the Samsung and liked it.
