yup... looks like a bootloop.
Good you asked for a refund..
 
well Amazon does not do exchange :\ so refund is the only option.
bought screenguard and flipcase. so now not sure if order another note or get another phone.
 
plus i paid using Amazon gift card after recharging it. so the money would go there i guess.
 

so... i now know what went wrong. i had no idea this phone had removable battery. you get the idea right? and no one thought about that aspect.
plus i got the sim cut and now i find out that this phone uses a regular sim.
 
Guys. I was trying to boot the phone without putting in the battery. Amazon unit was probably alright. I just did not bother to look in the box.
 
yes. the battery was hidden below the cardboard box. and i assumed that the phone came with internal battery. my last two phones had internal batteries.

i had almost given up. was going to file a return request on flipkart when i noticed that there was no slot for memory card or sim on the corners of the phone.

that kind of lightened up the bulb over my head. took off the back cover and realized what a doofus i am.

i also got the sim cut coz i assumed it took microsim. so i had to set it up with the cut sim in the outer body which comes with its own share of risks.

overall, an enlightening experience. i do like miui from what i saw of it today.
