[Q] IncS MIUI 2.4.13 - GPRS/HSPA keep changing

Hi all,
I'm using latest MIUI ROM atm and love it. however there's a problem of the signal sign which stays on G all the time unless i'm doing any data-related task such as browsing or facebook. at that moment it will quickly change to HSDPA.
not sure if it's a feature or a bug by MIUI?
i have used trinity, coredroid and icecold, they're all good staying in H/3G
Just wondering if anyone else experiencing the same issue with MIUI rom?
I already tried the 27/28/29 radio as well
thanks for the replies

Does this happen everywhere or only in certain locations?
am sure you are aware that gprs/3g is dependent on the network strength.
so it could be cos of a low signal strength area.
since you have tried a couple of radios, try any other rom & check if the problem persists

My phone behaves like this too. But I believe it's carrier specific because when I was using the previous operator the signal always stay in H. Once I begin using current operator, the signal stay in 3G and will switch to H if I access mobile data.

Hi all,
yeah I did try other ROMs and it works alright (trinity and coredroid + icecold)
with the MIUI, the problem persists everywhere even when I change the radio
very hard for me to change MIUI because of the feature and the smoothness
now I set it to use 2G only to save battery
I guess it's not a feature in MIUI since changing between GPRS/HSPA drains the battery?

Actually you can try changing some settings in /system/build.prop. Look for these two settings:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
If they're of different values, change them, reboot and see if there's any difference. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, just change them back.

Playing Pokemon Go and GPS!

Hi guys, i'm almost bying the Mi8 but i want know about the GPS issues....
I'm reading that a lot of peoples are facing problems with the GPS, how bad is the GPS? They Fix with some kind of updade?
Any pokemon player here can help me?
I know this sounds like a cry, but i have an Oneplus 5, and i'll buy a new device soon from china, unfortunately i can't test until the person get back to Brazil. If someone could help, i'll appreciate. Thx thx

I have the same issue, impossible to play sometimes. Could not fix it yet

I don't know why everyone is talking about issues?
My Mi 8 china with miui 10 from Xiaomi.eu has not a single problem with gps. Okay it is not as accurate as they advertise but 4m is fairly good!

Humm, maybe the European software version is better than China version?
I really really like the Mi8, but so many persons with GPs issues...
One question, how much accurete is the GPS? You can stay in one place without problem?
Thx for the answer

@thiagoserrao
I have not a single problem with it same as my Oneplus 6.

Speak Thiago. The problem is that the appliances for sale, is Chinese variant. And as the device has not yet been released in its Global variant, many users with the Chinese version system are having problems with the device. All this is just a lack of optimization at the moment.
Mine is already on the way, and soon I will pass the Global system version. Since we will not have our language in the Chinese version. The device is recent, and its development is still crawling.

I come from a Nexus 6P and this is no doubt the best GPS I've had in a mobile phone. In my experience, the Xiaomi is much much better than the Nexus, both faster and more accurate. I'm using the official global ROM but the Chinese ROM was perfectly accurate as well.

after play pokemon go the mi8 gps will lock and no data received with gps test tools
My new buyed MI 8 from Taiwan store has GPS problem,
I noticed when I play pokemon go and the gps not found message appear and disappear
I shut down the pokemon go and open gps test tool
no data will be received
I restart the phone and stuck
I must turn off it by push power button 10 secs
and start it again
then the gps test tool can receive data from gps

Yes, I keep getting it.
Miui Global 9.5 / Stable 9.5.13.0.
2 days ago I installed the "Gps status and toolbox" app from the play store and used the "Manage A-GPS State" option to reset and re-download the A-GPS XTRA Data.
After rebooting no issues for the whole day. Today the annoying message is back.

Don't use MIUI 9. Try MIUI 10.

Sometimes i install the MIUI 10 on my ONEPLUS 5, but i always got the message "GPS NOT FOUND", same problem that you are getting on MI8, i think this is really a Software issues :/. Well, thx for your reply, i really really appreciate! If this problem occurs to me, i'll have to install the Lineage or something like that :x.
Hope my Mi8 don't have this problem :/.
Anyway, the Taiwan version do not have the Band 28 LTE, right?

I unlock bootloader yestoday, all data reset, and reinstall app again . I go outside and open google map, the gps get position soon,but after 50 mins without shutdown google map , I found the position is not changed, the gps hang. I use gps tool to clean and repair agps data , the mi 8 soft restart , but the gps is still hang, I shutdown and turn on the phone again , the GPS live again.
My mi8 is running global stable version miui 9 9.5.13.10. I saw the newest develop version miui 10 have many bugs , so I am still waiting the right version released.
By the way,Taiwan version do not have the Band 28 LTE, just include B1 / B3 / B7 / B8 / B38 / B41，and suppot 2CA include B1 + B3、B3 + B3、B7 + B7.

Use gps mode with only device to prevent from fused lcation service lock gps
I flash the 8.8.7 global developer miui 10
Gps still hang when pokemon go or gps test tool run
Even when camera use location tag
You need shutdown the phone and force restart it by click power button for 10 secs
After some test, I use the gps with only device mode
The gps is normal for 30 hours without hang(gps tool shows no gps, not 28 gps without signal).

I'll soon get mine, my friend is backing from china in 1 or 2 weeks, than i'll test it!

I'm on Miui 10.0.5 and have a lot of troubles with GPS (seems like a-gps is not working, even with all permission and no battery restriction for all apps...).
Did you solve this ?
For Pokemon Go, the compass don't work too (but work in the compass app, so weird...).

did you test it?? i am now in xiaomi.eu 8.9.24 bit still the same...

REDMI 4X/4 - Screen goes dark and stuck in Custom ROMS

Problem: Many custom ROMs (havoc 2.9, 3.4, 3.5 , crdroid 6.6, corvus ) , screen goes dark and stuck due to unstable network
Reason: If any Network Signal reconnect or Auto changes From GSM to WCDMA and vise versa.
#Gsm network only have 10 to 12 frequency so its not connected automatically.
The error Triggered following conditions:
1. After Screen Time out
2. Screen lock,
3. Some time some apps crashes
4. settings changes
5. when Dual sim switching
So i unable get back to home screen, during the error charging indicator also not work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I face the error after installing Q based ROM,
1. When I revert back to stock MIUI some times find device storage was corrupted error comes
2. Also some times custom ROMs sensors failed to work.
3. All ROMs have network issue,
@ MIUI based ROMs restart (UI) the entire process only, (system not stuck, not goes black) when weak network changes
@ custom ROMs stuck in black screen when the network error comes
I tried to flash latest Firmware, not use.
Then Restore persist partition not use for this problem.
see this Video (This is my issue)
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1IVfM5q1Euz6vrVx_uV6JhA52zIMQMiE8&export=download

Currently using Havoc OS 2.9 no such issue.
I did not faced any of this bugs in havoc OS 2.9,3.4 and on 3.5. however there was slow charging and heating issue i found in 3.5.
however device slows down,warms up and freezes for some times if i use several apps in background when using Gcam but that's normal since i have 2GB/16GB variant.
Try turning off pocket detection that might fix this issue.
Haven't tried crDroid 6.6 and corvus so cant say anything about it.

by turning off pocket detection worked for you?
because issues you mentioned i have not faced them.
by the way which Gapps you are using? that maybe causing issue.

Yes i tried off Lockscreen features, like pocket detection and double tap to wake, not fix. Then i am using non Gapps ROMS also its also have same problem.
But i try single sim (Good network); ROM working perfectly without any error and lag!
Also Even Single sim Had a network issue means, same error comes(Whenever Signal reconnect it freeze entire system)

Possibly it might be related to sim card and network. also could be possibility that since its giving error when networks downs so there might be possibility that network antenna cable might have gone loose.(well this is my guess)
or
try using different carrier sim to confirm if this is related to network?

Yes sir tried another sim, When it's 2G not work but 3G and 4G means works good.
I don't know why 2G only have this issue. Also due to network issue entire system freeze!
But sir in MIUI Roms don't have the network issue, if network antenna loose means These miui ROM also have the same issue, but not.

are you using any custom kernel?
Take log when this error happens and share with developers/maintainer of the ROM, they are the ones who should understand this better and probably they might fix it.

Hello sir I am not using any custom kernel.
Then I have issue in custom ROM , startup screen also stuck. So I take log from EU ROM 10.3.1. https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1QYw96xOs_EhhI4g8MH6HYyYGSSy94Gaj&export=download
This log have more line kindly refer from last
I currently fixit temporarily by switching network 2g only mode it wil stop freeze problems., then
2g network not found ¿ but in feature phone have full network In same sim network!
I don't know why 2g band not receive my device properly.
I like to use gsm/wcdma mode and Wcdma mode these are have weak network , so my device freeze.

Currently I fix it by network signal guru app.
What error means Gsm have nearly 10 frequency range so its not connected automatically(that is freeze the device), then I lock 900mhz extended/primary one. Now I received good signal.its work even uninstalled the app... I found the solution in another XDA forum .

Im getting a fair bit of phoning home to China, EU/UK rom

So ok first off, i really do love this phone. I got it for the camera and for content creation and its great for it...
I had a Redmi note 4 before, and for a couple of years Ive been using a firewall since reading about a lot of chinese phones sending large amounts of data to china.
Now yes my old phone did phone home A LOT. So thats why i installed noroot firewall to keep an eye on things.
And literally every service phoned home. Many services that have no right connecting to the internet.
Now come 10t, i read that because this is an offical EU phone with EU rom and not a grey import, it should be following all the EU rules on data collection... So basically turn everything off it shouldnt contact home.
Trouble is..... even though I have turned most of the things off (outside updating service) many of the apps still phone home... Analytics, MSA DOWNLOADs, file explorer, mi remote, compass, clock security.... and other framework services. All phoning home to servers in china.
Ive not really done a deep dive into exactly what service is sending what data. But Why would downloads connect to a chinese IP every time i download something off the app store.... Or open Chrome?
Well using firewall now to keep things locked down.
Has anyone else seen this kind of activity on EU phones? Is anyone making a clean rom that remove this kind of sus activity?

That's what you have to deal with if you want to use MIUI.
Why not root the phone and flash Lineage?

Don't know about 5ghz, I haven't have any issues with 5ghz. It's fixed in the latest version? At least it says so in the notes.
Auto rotation works fine for me. Have't noticed the issue with screen not waking up during incoming calls but I rarely receive or make calls.
I only used my bluetooth in ear for listening to music, not for calls but I se someone wrote it can be fixed by lowering volume a bit.
Lineage recovery bootloops if you flash it to recovery but if you fastboot boot the img it will boot fine every time.

That's all workarounds, that's why I say these are not minor bugs. I had all of those problems. I had 5ghz problem because my wifi router was set to a channel lineage couldn't read. Lowering volume, and turning bluetooth on/off couldn't fix it for me, only restart worked. Auto rotation and blank screen during calls were also my problems. Well to end offtopic, I'll wait for stable pe or similar rom before switching from global rom. I have pihole set up as blocking firewall at home so it helps a ton with phoning home...

ive also tried using noroot firewall, which worked fine on my old phone. but no matter the battery saver settings, it keeps getting shut down by the phone... So thats not secure.

Themes / Apps / Mods Realme 8 pro GSI overlay

Hey there!
I've created a GSI overlay specifically for our devices.
It should fix:
AOD and AOD going black
The auto brightness button (currently broken due to https://github.com/TrebleDroid/treble_experimentations/issues/32)
The appearance of the punch hole cutout and status bar.
Power profile.
Potentially resolving certain connectivity issues.
I've submitted a pull request to the TrebleDroid repo (https://github.com/TrebleDroid/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/28). However, you can give it a try using the attached Magisk module.
Please test it out and let me know how it works for you!

Few months ago i flashed pixel rom 13 gsi on my device and the volte/calling was broken...like i was not able to get incoming calls so i reverted back to color os after some struggle....
Right now my device is on rmui 4.0 unlocked bootloader
I want to flash a working gsi and use your fixes...
can you help me on that?

So, I somehow got it working. I'm currently on Project Elixir 3.7 Official.
In phh treble settings -> IMS features:
- Install IMS APK for Qualcomm pre-S vendor.
- Request IMS network.
- Force presence of 4G calling setting.
I've also set org.codeaurora.ims' battery usage to unrestricted. For good measure.
Now VoLTE and VoWiFi should appear in settings.
After that, I turned off and turned on VoLTE. Now I get the HD sign in Google Phone.
Not sure how consistent or stable this is, but seems to work. Although VoWiFi doesn't work due to "Force presence of 4G..." (tbh, I've never really seen anyone use VoWiFi)
This works 50/50. I get VoLTE after switching it on and off, but it can also break for no reason.

Exactly the volte breaks for no reason and turns back on after switching it off and on again.
I guess only a custom rom can fix that.
