Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime (and current-gen phones) post 2G switchoff - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

Hi guys, first time poster here!
Can't really find confirmation anywhere.
Will the Xiaomi Redmi 3S (Snapdragon 430) and basically the vast majority of DSDS phones around now (excluding the Mi5 and probably the other Dual Sim Snapdragon 820 equipped), lose their second sim functionality when the 2G switchoff will be completed?
Background:
In Au the 2G switchoff will officially start at the end of this year, with the two biggest mobile networks having no 2G coverage by the 2nd qtr 2017. Same goes on for many countries around the world.
The Mi5 is reported to be "Netcom 3.0" compatible, meaning it can support up to 4G on one sim card and up to 3G on the other simultaneously in dual standby.
If the other phones (no matter how fresh the chipset is, if that feature is not enabled or implemented) doesn't have this capability then in a few months will basically be just regular single-sim phones.
Can anybody here shed some light on this?
Thank you a lot!

About Redmi 3S (and Mi Max) it says on mi.com that "When two SIM cards are used simultaneously, the primary SIM can support 4G calls and data while the secondary SIM can support 3G calls only" which sounds like it supports 4G + 3G?
But all phones that only support 4G + 2G will of course not having any reception on the second SIM with operators that have turned off 2G.

As with ALL other devices - it will only be supported if a maintainer picks up the device.
In your case, it's highly unlikely, MTK devices are notoriously nightmarish to work with. Even with massive cooperation from an OEM (oppo) they're hell to work with.

Selling started in eBay,snapdeal,mobile store at 24.9k
Version?
Which version is selling in India? I just bought mine today, Dual Sim D820T
Hey, I bought it off of ebay , it's working fine for 2 days... And today its hanging excessively... I don't know y... Anyone else facing this issue?
Hi All,
I bought this device last week .. it's a good device. Two concerns though which is the heating issue below the camera and the phone ringtone sound is very low at full volume. I have observed that only the bottom speaker works when the phone rings on call. The phone is hardly audible when away.. anyone sharing similar experience or is this a one off case with me?
Regards,
SS

The device heats up sometimes but there is definitely no burning smell from any part of my device. Would suggest you get your cell checked at HTC service center.

bluetooth issues
Device is great
heavy usage:no issues(except the heating which is barely felt when with dot-view case)
only issue that i am facing is that at some distance apart from any bluetooth speaker, it tends to give disturbed signals when touched below the camera/heating region
anyone facing the issue?

htc 820 nandroid backup rom
required htc 820 nandroid backup rom 1.22.720.1
My girlfriend bought a htc Desire 820DS last week. Loaded everything into the phone using a USB otg. Nothing's erased on whatsapp, but phone failed to reboot while performing "system update", and the worse comes the worst is that, I tried everything I read on the internet, the phone itself cannot be rebooted.
Single SIM 820?
Anybody heard about single sim 820?
820 is not available in my country so that I asked one of my friends (traveling to India) to brought me a device. He brought me one but seems it's a single sim device. I never know that such single sim device available. I'm really upset of the single sim configuration. :crying:

the US version seem to have different spec. like single sim and support more US band, like AT&T LTE band 17. That was the first thing I spotted. source here. I guess that might also means two different ROMs version also.

I can't confirm, but i've seen in multiple threads that people are saying it's the same camera as the OP3. If that's the case, it's a mid-range camera, which is absolutely fine for this price range. The ROM and kernel support is what i'm more worried about at this point. Change the software in this phone and this is a spiritual successor to the original nexus line (some compromises on things like camera and flash memory speed, mostly up-to-date specs with a great price point)
I totally agree on the spec vs price point. It's just crazy to have to fork over another $350-400 just for a better camera.
I currently own an LG G3 W/Xosp and have never been impressed with the camera.
So I'm searching for the best Chinese phone that can have custom rooms.
Thanks

No OIS and even no DIS, no USB 3.0/3.1 and the screen is not the best. The old Le Max 2 Pro got a much better screen.
So maybe wait for xiomi latest and greatest? Mi mix looking pretty amazing
