Has anyone got their hands on a z17 lite? I got a redmi 4x for the wife and its great(except for a small issue with the incall mic). And had intended to get a m1a1 for myself in the new year, but now id like something a bit different and have been looking at less bezelled handsets, hence the z17 lite interest. The z17 seems well reviewed but way over budget for me.

Full charge should fix it if nothing else happened. It that doesnt work reflash the soft ware via miflash using edl mode. Google and xda will guide you. You shouldnt need a deep flash cable.

The phone is not going to fastboot mode for MIFLASH. I tried a full charge; not working.
I think I need to do something similar to below:

Z17 lite and z17 look the same, you can watch z17 lite review videos on youtube.
But the cpu is snapdragon 653, this is why it will be cheaper.

If you want to buy it, geekbuying have a $10 off coupon for spain stock z17 lite.

Still better to go with IT warehouse, €3.93 shipping compared to €25 for shipping from Spain

Just had a look on the mobile site, cant find the shipping costs. Do you have to almost buy before they come up?

Just bought the Xiaomi Mi A1 in Special Edition Red from HK Goldway for €220 all in. Will update with delivery times (currently estimated at 10 days to process order and 7-15 for delivery) and any customs issues (although I've been assured that with DHL it should avoid customs charges)

I expect the order to be processed in 24-48hours contrary to what it says on the site.

Anyone ordered through HK Goldway on AliExpress lately who have had delivery/customs issues? Or issues with the phone?

Update on this. Got an email this morning saying my order has been processed and has been shipped. Checked the DHL tracking number and it actually arrived in the UK Friday 5th of Jan at 4am. So I should have it in my hand soon.

Will update further once it arrives and I've played around with it.

Gets a very bad mark on Kimovil for 'design and materials' , phone is presell also so would be inclined to wait until it is in the wild before considering it anyway, big battery though.

Wasn't at home to accept delivery of the phone yesterday but arranged DHL to drop at the local shop...hopefully it's there tonight when I get home.
Ordered Thursday night and delivered Monday evening...can't fault geekbuying and the IT warehouse/DHL crew for that kinda delivery!!!

got home to my phone the Nubia Z17 Lite....delighted but fecking thing is stuck on the setup
Seems to be connected to the wifi in the toolbar but during the setup the 'Get Connected' part doesnt seem to register the wifi and cant continue.
Wifi is Imagine LTE and I've switched it off and tried using mobile data with no changes.
Anyone have a similar issue with anything?

Got sorted in the end, had to wipe both user and cache data. then boot without sim and skip most of the automatic setup. Have all accounts added now and apps downloaded.
Nubia UI is going to take some getting used to...might leave it a while before flashing it!!!

Love the note4. Really impressed. Thanks so much to all the people who took the time to help me here. I really appreciate it.

Would anybody have a good reason to pick either a xiaomi m1a1 or nubia z17 lite. Im a bit torn, I like xiaomi but id like a reduced bezel handset and cant afford a mi mix! So... anybody point me in the right direction!!

You might want to tell people which version it is. Mediatek or Snapdragon

I'm in France and I've just received my Redmi 4X from Germany and have a problem with LTE.
Most of the time I can only get a H+ signal, occasionally it switches over to 4G but as soon as it does I get no internet signal at all.

The phone is supposed to be compatible with the LTE bands 1800 and 2600 in France

Is it possible I'm connected to the wrong band and if so can I force it to change?

Providor is SFR and I ordered the Global version. How to check I actually got it though?
