  • Thanks for this page.
    I am having charging issue.
    Not charging properly. It takes hours to charge if eventually it starts charging and drains fast.

    • Ufuoma I will like to know the Android Version you’re using and if you have tried other infinix charger with your phone. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks

      • Android version 4.4.2
        I have tried other Infinix charger with it. Including Hot 2 X510, X507, Zero 2 and the lastest Note 2 X600. Still same problem.
        Thanks for your prompt response.

    • Nuga,to fix the battery drained issue on Hot Note X551 lollipop, you need to goto battery and untick the inteliggent battery saving blah blah…. Restart your phone immediately and you should have your battery life back.

  • Please how do I unroot my phone?

    I rooted with kingroot and when I try to unroot it, it does not uroot properly. What’s the best way to go about it plz

    • You can root via Kingroot if you’re using Android Version Kitkat 4.4 and root via sp flash tool if you’re using android 5.1 lollipop. All this things are available on this blog please use the search box.

I assumed that it was due to the voltage but I tired it again somewhere else that has a full voltage but it was too slow it took like 14hours to charge…. and its really frustrating… and the signal for fast charging doesn’t show again. this is an Infinix hot note X551 lolipop version X.N.1.0.5 ..thank you

  • Currently on 5.1 and battery is draining fast in my own eyes reduces every minute
    What’s wrong even flashed the xui 1.n.3 but same issue, phone is 5months old

    • Xtreme sometimes it takes time for the XUI to adapt and optimise the battery but you might want to give it time or have a full discharge to something like 10% or 5% and give it a full charge by turning the phone off while it charges. Its called BATTERY CALIBRATION. Let us know if it works.

      • All is fine
        No improvement, when I open my infinix hot note back cover, the battery smells like that of a battery whose liquid has spilled or swollen and bursted, sweet perfume like. I am thinking something has gone wrong with the battery

  • Can Infinix Note x551- 1G/16GB be upgraded to Marshmallow after it has been upgraded to Lolipop just like the Note 2 – x600 version?

      • I mean, the Marshmallow update for Note 2 1GB/16GB – X600, can’t it be safely installed on Infinix Note X551 – 1GB/16GB since they share the same hardware specification except screen size?

        • Akan, u make me laugh. There hardware is far different from each other and no u cant and it won’t work but you can go ahead if you’re sure about your idea. I will be here to read about how you killed your ho note yourself. Just wait and lets hope Infinix will release updates for Hot Note.
