Straight to my point:
XIAOMI/REDMI device can't use an external microphone?

I bought Boya BY-MM1 external mic,
try to use it on Redmi Note 8, but nothing recorded!
Then I tried to Redmi Note 4, it's the same, nothing recorded!

I tried another brand mobile; using the same external mic: Samsung Note 5, P20, it successfully recorded the sound clearly.

Then I tried using another brand external mic, still, the Redmi recorded nothing!

Whats is your opinion?

            Honest review, 07 May 2020Does anyone have dust problem in camera lense? My phone's lense is filled with dust...! What s... moreWell... there seems to be some problem regarding the adhesive they used in camera module. So dust can get inside the camera module and settle on the inner part. However, not every RN8 seem to have this issue.
            What you can do is to contact Mi service center and they will clean the camera glass from inside and apply new adhesive BUT there is no guarantee that it won't happen again...
            Bottom line: Manufacturing defect and you happen to be one of the unfortunate ones.

                  Please help me before I throw this sh*tty phone on the ground. I just can't make google maps work normally (if it does). location services is apps are awful! also youtube tells me I'm offline when I'm using mobile net (works ok on WiFi). besides these problems, this phone is just NOT user friendly (phone, messaging, notifications etc.). Imagine, how stupid man looks changing Iphone 6s+ on this piece of sh*t...
                  Sorry for bad words.

                    Ok after about a week playing with this phone;

                    I was getting a not bad SOT about 8-9 hours per charge using only 4G in 12 hours on/standby as mentioned in my previous post.

                    It's quite ok with me but it's kind of irritating when seeing the battery % decrease faster compare to my previous redmi note 5

                    So the solutions are;

                    In Connection & sharing > turn off cast & printing
                    In Account & sync > turn of any sync that you dont need
                    In Google>Security> turn off find my device
                    You may also turn of find my device in your mi account too if you want
                    In Password & Security> Location>scanning> turn off WiFi & Bluetooth scanning

                    You may also turn off everything that you don't need one by one by accessing the menus

                    It helps , happy trying

                      games keep reconnecting when I got strong wifi , needs to transfer to another network (5GHz to 2.4Ghz) or vice versa in order to reconnect . Tried to reset the wifi settings turn off the wifi assistance but it just keeps getting worse. If anyone had issues like mine and you found a fix to it ? please let me know so that I can fix my Redmi note 8.
