How many redmi note 3 usere have faced tactility problem in power and volume buttons ? I’m using it for 4 months and now the buttons are pushed little inside . That’s poor the build quality is. They have used cheap metal for the sake of metal phone.

Same goee for redmi 3s and mi max as both share same build as RN3.

Yesterday i go the lamination shop to apply Matt lamination on back of redmi 3s. As you all guys know they use rubber to apply pressure to stick the lamination on phone surface. He did same on power and volume buttons also. Now problem is due to that little pressure, those both buttons pushed inside a bit (yeah build is that cheap) and they are not tactile as new one.

Same case with my friend with RN3 , using transparent case from 4 months. Now i checked his phone. His phone’s power and volume buttons are literally more inside than mine.

I don’t know how could mi used such cheap quality on the such awesome device.

People who have doubts can try on their phone themselves , put pressure on both buttons for a 2-3 minutes or go to lamination shop and you’ll see when he wil apply pressure from rubber the buttons will pushed inside a bit.

This is 100% reproducible problem.
Try and tell here.

First: never get your phone laminated. Reason: it doesn’t help the heat to pass through and you will incur more problems in future with the phone. This is not 2010 to get your phone laminated, get a tempered glass to cover your screen.

For buttons: they are plastic and not metal and they are prone to tear and wear depending upon your usage. It’s not with RN3 but with every phone including iPhone. My iPhone 6S+ home button stopped working in less than 6 months and had to visit Apple care to get it repaced.

Solution: get a cover which has inbuilt button. Example? IPaky case for your RN3. It will help you save the button’s life. I’m using it from the day RN3 was launched and I can call myself power user and careless with phs, I havn’t faced the issue till now.

First of all, the lamination is matt and on the back of the device not front, as it is metal it’s necessary to have back matt lamination. And it doesn’t cause any problem in heating.

And this isssue is not about wear and tear bro . It’s the build issue. I have also used VR box and put my phone inside the tray which pressed tge volume and power button to adjust. In other normal phones it’ll not affect the buttons at all ,but on my phone it surely did.
I’m no new noob in smartphone have used many smartphones , so i now what i am talking about.
If you think i am not saying truth. You can try it yourself.
Put pressure on both buttons and keep holding them for 2-3 min. And BAM ! They will not be normal again. Or just go to the lamination shop and ask the guy to put pressure on the buttons with his rubber. You’ll get same results as mine and I’m sure this will not affect other smartphones at all you bring any othet phone with you for testing the same and compare with RN3.

I’m literally crying for such minor but major issue. And even if it’s plastic it doesn’t matter as problem reside in the inside.

who uses lamination in this new generation 😶 i use to get lamination on nokia phons in 2005-06. Lamination makes cellphone looks cheap.

Lamination on the back cover to protect it from scratches as even in the cover there is dust which could easily scratch the metal. And yes it is matt not glossy. With matt you don’t even know there is a lamination.

Dude seriously don’t do tht. From where the heat will pass when you play games and stuff. It’s not that soft to grab scratches easily. Get a decent cover which doesn’t let the dust come in. Plenty of good cases available. That’s the best advice. Rest is upto you.

Haha bro i don’t play games at all i played few earlier and and there is no problem of heating. I’m confirming it. Heating will arise if you don’t put phone in open, like charging it out kept it under pillow like that. Rest no problem.
Just this irritating problem of buttons. I’m so feeling bad due to it and I’m sating true. I could have shown and prove to you if we were in same city. People are using cases so they don’t realize it. Once they will remove cover and experience button again they will know it’s not same before.

Maybe the problem is with the user and not the equipment, i know couple of friends, who really press the button hard and have faced similar issues in any phone they have used. Guess it’s individual based issue or probably quality control in the phone and you got one that has a issue. Else we would have lot of posts and threads on this on MI forums. Head over there see if anything is there and what they recommend. Personally i am using Redmi Note 3 from over 4 months and have not faced any issues till now. Also the first lot of phone had some issues. There were few posts on the same. Don’t want to diverge from topic as this is a Redmi 3S thread.

Flipkart has really stepped up their service locally. Placed order for a phone yesterday at 12 PM and it was in my hand at 11 Am in the morning. Really happy with the free delivery and i am not a Flipkart Advantage customer. Planning to buy 16 gb Redmi 3S. Waiting for some reviews of the same.

1) go to lamination shop.
2) ask the owner to put pressure through rubber on the power and volume buttons side like normally he does when installing lamination on every phone throughout his entire life.
3) check the buttons.

Report here. If it didn’t cause any problems. Good. Already request for refund on flipkart for redmi 3s and waiting for refund.

And I’m a not a innocent smartphone newbie. I know what’s too much pressure what’s normal pressure. I don’t care how many threads it has or not. Problem is a problem.

The lesson here seems to be dont laminate a Redmi Note 3 (or any redmi phone for the matter). If lamination is important to you, dont buy a redmi phone. I dont know anyone who has ever laminated a non-nokia phone. This seems to be a problem for a very few. I do recognize it is an important feature for some, those people should stay away from redmi. Does this sound like a good place to end this argument?

i got redmi 3s prime silver yesterday .lekin wifi on karane ke bad phone restart ho raha hai 25-30 bar restart hua aur fingurprint bhi kabhi kabhi work nahi ho raha

There is no argument, just a healthy discussion also probably you are the 1 in 1000 who would get it laminated. I have not seen any post here from any user, who would have got it laminated. So guess, they would never come across this issue. Most of the users here post buying the Note 3 bought the Ipaky case, i also did and post which we are using the phone in the case. I also feel they would not be any warranty for the buttons issue. If there is it would be interesting to find out what the stand of the service center is in terms of coverage for that. As if you are facing the issue, guess you should take it in. But they would remove the lamination and then check the same. Also i do not know what their stand is as they may say damage is caused due to lamination of phone or the person laminating the same. It’s a tricky situation. But if its really a big issue do take the phone to service center for examination and do share the outcome and findings as it would be a learning opportunity for all of us.

Simple solution, raise a request for return and replacement from Flipkart. They will do the needful, pick the faulty phone and ship a replacement brand new phone.

Avoid using power button to increase ur cell fone life
Use fingerprint to unlock ur device and use an app to turn off the screen.

Okay , first of all lamination is on back side only. There is no lamination on the buttons. And I’ve already taken it to the service centet. Which is multi branded one with no standard at all. No mechanism to give tickets to users so everybody was clueless when they will get their number to talk to them. The main person just disappears from time to time, so people were again clueless to whom they talk for problems as other person sitting were taking care of lenovo and Coolpad. After making me just wait for 3-4 hours of nothing, i directly catched the technician and with very please please please bhai, he agreed to open the case and after much requesting what he did is take apart the contact point of volume keys stick to the PCB a little and closed back the cover. And now the problem was solved to some extent but not as good as new one. He was busy so much that he don’t even have time to understand problem .

How many redmi note 3 usere have faced tactility problem in power and volume buttons ? I’m using it for 4 months and now the buttons are pushed little inside . That’s poor the build quality is. They have used cheap metal for the sake of metal phone.

Same goee for redmi 3s and mi max as both share same build as RN3.

Yesterday i go the lamination shop to apply Matt lamination on back of redmi 3s. As you all guys know they use rubber to apply pressure to stick the lamination on phone surface. He did same on power and volume buttons also. Now problem is due to that little pressure, those both buttons pushed inside a bit (yeah build is that cheap) and they are not tactile as new one.

Same case with my friend with RN3 , using transparent case from 4 months. Now i checked his phone. His phone’s power and volume buttons are literally more inside than mine.

I don’t know how could mi used such cheap quality on the such awesome device.

People who have doubts can try on their phone themselves , put pressure on both buttons for a 2-3 minutes or go to lamination shop and you’ll see when he wil apply pressure from rubber the buttons will pushed inside a bit.

This is 100% reproducible problem.
Try and tell here.

First: never get your phone laminated. Reason: it doesn’t help the heat to pass through and you will incur more problems in future with the phone. This is not 2010 to get your phone laminated, get a tempered glass to cover your screen.

For buttons: they are plastic and not metal and they are prone to tear and wear depending upon your usage. It’s not with RN3 but with every phone including iPhone. My iPhone 6S+ home button stopped working in less than 6 months and had to visit Apple care to get it repaced.

Solution: get a cover which has inbuilt button. Example? IPaky case for your RN3. It will help you save the button’s life. I’m using it from the day RN3 was launched and I can call myself power user and careless with phs, I havn’t faced the issue till now.

First of all, the lamination is matt and on the back of the device not front, as it is metal it’s necessary to have back matt lamination. And it doesn’t cause any problem in heating.

And this isssue is not about wear and tear bro . It’s the build issue. I have also used VR box and put my phone inside the tray which pressed tge volume and power button to adjust. In other normal phones it’ll not affect the buttons at all ,but on my phone it surely did.
I’m no new noob in smartphone have used many smartphones , so i now what i am talking about.
If you think i am not saying truth. You can try it yourself.
Put pressure on both buttons and keep holding them for 2-3 min. And BAM ! They will not be normal again. Or just go to the lamination shop and ask the guy to put pressure on the buttons with his rubber. You’ll get same results as mine and I’m sure this will not affect other smartphones at all you bring any othet phone with you for testing the same and compare with RN3.

I’m literally crying for such minor but major issue. And even if it’s plastic it doesn’t matter as problem reside in the inside.

who uses lamination in this new generation 😶 i use to get lamination on nokia phons in 2005-06. Lamination makes cellphone looks cheap.

Lamination on the back cover to protect it from scratches as even in the cover there is dust which could easily scratch the metal. And yes it is matt not glossy. With matt you don’t even know there is a lamination.

Dude seriously don’t do tht. From where the heat will pass when you play games and stuff. It’s not that soft to grab scratches easily. Get a decent cover which doesn’t let the dust come in. Plenty of good cases available. That’s the best advice. Rest is upto you.

Haha bro i don’t play games at all i played few earlier and and there is no problem of heating. I’m confirming it. Heating will arise if you don’t put phone in open, like charging it out kept it under pillow like that. Rest no problem.
Just this irritating problem of buttons. I’m so feeling bad due to it and I’m sating true. I could have shown and prove to you if we were in same city. People are using cases so they don’t realize it. Once they will remove cover and experience button again they will know it’s not same before.

Maybe the problem is with the user and not the equipment, i know couple of friends, who really press the button hard and have faced similar issues in any phone they have used. Guess it’s individual based issue or probably quality control in the phone and you got one that has a issue. Else we would have lot of posts and threads on this on MI forums. Head over there see if anything is there and what they recommend. Personally i am using Redmi Note 3 from over 4 months and have not faced any issues till now. Also the first lot of phone had some issues. There were few posts on the same. Don’t want to diverge from topic as this is a Redmi 3S thread.

Flipkart has really stepped up their service locally. Placed order for a phone yesterday at 12 PM and it was in my hand at 11 Am in the morning. Really happy with the free delivery and i am not a Flipkart Advantage customer. Planning to buy 16 gb Redmi 3S. Waiting for some reviews of the same.

I don’t want this turn into a argument so i have just simple step to check if it’s individual based or not.

1) go to lamination shop.
2) ask the owner to put pressure through rubber on the power and volume buttons side like normally he does when installing lamination on every phone throughout his entire life.
3) check the buttons.

Report here. If it didn’t cause any problems. Good. Already request for refund on flipkart for redmi 3s and waiting for refund.

And I’m a not a innocent smartphone newbie. I know what’s too much pressure what’s normal pressure. I don’t care how many threads it has or not. Problem is a problem.

Avoid using power button to increase ur cell fone life
Use fingerprint to unlock ur device and use an app to turn off the screen.

u can follow hthis thread http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t...

They sold abt 90k devices. And at this cost we cant expect much testing from them so even if 1% devices are faulty then that makes abt 900 phones and if 0.1% have serious faults then thats abt 90 devices. MAy be the ones who r giving 1 stars got those faulty ones.

I have been using this phone for 1 week. u can see all my observations in my post. ntn has changed much since day1.

Have to say buttons r little bit delicate though. and u have to really careful with SIM card tray. Its very fragile.Battery is good. camera is good in day light. No heating even on browsing on 4G.

Just discovered that the Homescreen and other two buttons are not backlit on Redmi 3s Prime.

I mean, in 9k, you are giving fingerprint sensor, 4100 mah battery, 32 gb rom and 3 gb ram. But skimping on something as basic as lighting on the buttons. Very bad!

Explained about my device problem, they have ask me to do some basic troubleshooting,
then ask me to download one app (smartchkapp) to detect the device is really faulty of not,
after all this exercise, problem remain same, and they agreed on replacement.

Battery is one of the best in market.

Only problem might be camera and sometimes erratic OS.

Most of the -ve reviewers dint make any sense

we are consumer, then why we struggle on this?

who will teach them a good lesson??

Just a word of advice. Xiaomi devices aren’t good as they were before. There are quality issues and you’ll be lucky if your phone and charger last one year.
Moreover, they have no idea of customer service. If your phone develops a fault (it will), you will have no chance but to discard it as there is a severe lack of spares and trained personnel.

Saying that as someone who’s had a nightmarish experience with Xiaomi recently and lost an in-warranty phone worth 12k because of sheer incompetence on their part.
