Hello everyone.
I have been using this device for some time now.
At first, the data usage counter would let me now how much data would have been spent while tethering.
and at some point it just stopped showing.
It shows all other apps, but will not let me know what about tethering usage.
anyone has any idea about it?
Thank you
Alon
Same problem for me on 4.1.5 , and since 4.1.3 at least.
The phone simply doesn't count ANY of the data spent through tethering/wifi hotspot. And it's a big issue.
Does anyone know a fix ?
Thanks

Ive had a look around and i cannot find anything so i thought i would post a thread.
basically i want certain apps etc to think that i am connected to wifi when really i am using my 3g data. This would also help solve my MMS problem as i only receive them while i am on WIFI, so tricking my phone into thinking its on wifi would solve this issue.
Thanks for your help, any help in the right direction would be useful
Hello, anyone else experiencing massive data usage from android os on the latest android n build? It's currently used 1.5 gb for the month and it's driving me insane. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: never mind - wrong thread
i flashed dp4 last week, so far so good.
but couple month before, i dirty flash factory image to update marshmallow, after that data useage in settings panel show me that i used over 20GB. i checked my data useage from my operator and nothing wrong.
so i suggest you can check with your operator to ensure how many data you actually used.
sorry for my poor english.
Hey folks,
I just noticed my phone is having some issues with mobile data measurement. See attached screenshots.
- the raw data counter is way off
- the values shown in overview differ
- in reality, I've used just under 700MB
Is there any way to fix accuracity? Measurement being 50% off is just not useful at all. Is it possible to turn it off completely? I'd like to do so if I don't find a solution.
Same issue for my other SIM-card I use occasionally.
Running on 3.5.4 as I need xposed.
What process does measure data usage? Maybe I messed it up using Amplify.
Thanks in advance, cheers!
Hi,
I have stock 4.0.3 and i wanted to know if there is any solution for the annoying bug that cuts wifi hotspot (tethering) after 5 minutes?
Whenever i turn tethering on, it automatically disconnects after 5 minutes, even if another device is connected.
Any tip about fixing this huge bug will be very appreciated.
Thanks
Anyone ??
I'm sure more people have noticed this bug...
Yes noticed it.
Using freedom os fixed it.
It's based on stock oos only.
I'm on freedom os and I encounter the same bug. My solution was to remove wifi password

I have password on still my WiFi isn't shutting down after 5 mins now.
Lucky me maybe.
Also noticed that yesterday...
Noticed this two days ago when internet was down at my house and I tried using my hotspot to get work done. Was quiet annoying.

That strange I just got my OP3T and havent needed to use the hotspot yet. But my nexus 5x just started doing the same thing recently, made me wonder if its a more wide spread issue across different devices.
Yes it's very strange.
I've read somewhere else that it's only happening after the oxygen 4.0.3 update.
noticed this and can't find a solution yet.
I just got my 3T two weeks ago and I haven't tested WiFi tethering, my phone is running OOS 4.0.3, rooted with Magisk and passes SafetyNet.
I know my old Galaxy S4 worked fine for tethering for hours.
I will test WiFi tethering and to my laptop this evening while streaming content from YouTube and see if my tethering lasts longer than 5 minutes. I will also test if I can properly turn the WiFi toggle on and off without the phone acting up.
Uh this is something I will test out as well. I need a working tethering Hotspot for work and I didn't expect any issues here (just got my OP3t a few days ago.

I've had mine a couple of weeks now and tethered a couple of times and had no issues, however, I've resisted the temptation to update to 4.0.3, due to the touch latency issue and now maybe because of this, and only updated to 3.5.4. So maybe it's a 4.0.3 issue as mentioned?
Greetings, I just wanted to follow up and state that my tethering worked just fine. I did three 10 minutes videos on YouTube at 1080p and consumed 600MB of my data plan.
No interruptions or disconnects. My 3T was on a 4G connection the entire time. Plus I did this test when my 3T was at 14% battery and went down to 8% battery.
Once again my specs are the following, OOS 4.0.3 and Magisk Rooted.
The actual issue is hotspot will be disabled if no device is connected.
Only fix I found was using either Tasker or Automate to check that and switch it back on (I use a location trigger, since I need while at office only).

When enabling Portable hotspot, which uses Mobile Data and allows others to connected to the phone, it states inside "Connected Device Manager" that this feature will be turned off after 5 minutes if there is no device connected.
I'm not sure that this is a problem, I'm sure my Galaxy S4 did the same thing when no device is connected after a period of time.
But yes creating a Tasker profile to keep toggling this on when it turns off would work.
Hello everyone
I just have two questions for now about usage of this phone. I have standard EU MI9tPro 6/128 version with stock Miui Global 10 (10.3.2.0). After a week i got it unlocked officially and rooted with magisk - added edxposed with gravity box to tweak it like my old redmi note 3 pro. As it is miui i was sure my old problem with redmi note will be gone as my wife uses redmi 4a with miui and don't have this issue. The issue is- i can't send or receive mms messages until i manually enable mobile data. I'm one of those people that have data turned off until i really need it soo yea... On my wife's phone with miui 10 this works like it should. It starts mobile data automatically on mms receive or send. On my mi9tpro it just waits for me to enable it. After enabling data i can normally send and receive mms . Is there any cure for this behavior on miui? If not can someone point me to a custom rom when this feature really works ?
Second question requires explanation as ususal I'm always on 2G to save battery life. Enabling data ends with waiting for anything so i need to switch to 3G or 4G and that is pretty annoying since i have to go to settings click this and that and that. So my solution for that on redmi note 3 pro was a feature in Gravitybox module to add tile to pop down menu with quick preferred network switch . That worked great. On current miui every other option from gravity box works except this one :/ Is there any other way to quickly change preferred data mode ? Like adding a button/switch to the desktop or pop down menu? Other than these two little problems all works great Thank You all for reading. Please help
up, anyone?
Am i the only freak here who don't use mobile data all the time and 2G? I'm sure there is someone here who had that issue. Anyone?
Try giving the messaging app permissions for toggling system settings, network and wifi.
I'm using textra . I gave it all permissions. Everything. Still no go. Same with original messeging app.
Hello. I was able to solve my second question with a widget from nova launcher - it made a switch on main screen to switch network mode so that is sorted. Mms not receiving automatically is a problem still. Anyone have a solution to that?
Sorry, don't have any solution for you but I'm wondering why all this hassle…

yea agreed , 2g on a 4000 mah battery ,this method used to be a old school way , if battery life is important , always bring along a powerbank
Hehe i can understand Your point there. This is the Way i work - i don't want to have mobile data enabled if not necessary.

Yeah, even though I personnally don't care about having mobile data enabled the whole time, I can see why you would want to turn it off and on, especially if you are data limited, etc.
I was talking about the hassle to switch to 2G <--> 4G just for battery life.
Out of Curiosity, and without exagerating please, how much battery life you think you save by doing this ?
I can't really say as i have this Phone for twoo weeks, but seeing as how quickly % go down with 4g and 2g i would Say a Day maybe more can be saved. I know how it must sounds for others. I used to get 5-6 days without charging on my Old redmi note3 pro. I won't get that on this one for sure. Thank you for answering

5-6 days for note pro 4100 mah , are you at outdoor most of the time ? do update here how long k20 pro/mi9t pro last on 2g mode . funny this quick switch widget 2g to 3g used to be a norm , then its was gone , perhaps nowadays data has gone down in price , more cheaper . hmmm isnt MMS using telco lines instead of data ?
It's not matter of cost but more security. And Yes in Poland at least data needs to be enabled for MMS to work. I can update on how long i can go with my usage with 2g.
