GPS Issue - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hello all.
Have been having such an annoying issue for the past 2 weeks since I've purchased this device. Initially just a reboot would fix the "searching gps" issue. But now, even after reboots, it isn't fixing. Have tried some solutions on google and it doesn't work.
I'm just stumped on what to do next. Can anyone help?
I'm on MIUI Global 9.6 | Stable 9.6.3.0 (OEAMIFD)
Thanks

Network issue // INCOMING CALL NOT WORKING // Xiaomi mi 5

Hello guys,
I own a two weeks Xiaomi mi 5 from EU site.
I notice that while mobile is under full signal LTE / 3g / 2g it doesn't matter, incoming calls do not work from time to time. Outcoming calls, work perfect.

I didn't but I intend to.
My phone came with Xiaomi EU ROM with locked bootloader. I hadn't this problem at that time. Then I unlocked bootloader and installed official global dev ROM, and started having this problem. The incoming calls are not what bothers me, its the incoming SMS. Sometimes I receive SMSs 6 hours after they were sent.
I will try to install TWRP and latest Xiaomi Stable today. Then I can give some feedback here.

Miui 10 Global Stable OTA?

Hi. I've seen a few articles about MIUI 10 Global stable coming to Mi Mix. Does anyone have an idea when it will be released via OTA, if at all? According to article in link it should have been released last week. Thanks!
http://en.miui.com/thread-3832387-1-1.html
I have been running the Global Beta version of MIUI 10 for some time on my Mix and I saw the Global Stable was available. I knew that because I wasnrt on the Global Stable I wouldnt get the OTA update so I flashed to the Stable version of MIUI 9 using V9.6.2.0.OAHMIFD and by the time that my phone rebooted the notification for the OTA to Global Stable MIUI 10 or 10.0.1.0 OAHMIFH was already there and I downloaded it right then and there with no issues. Hope that helps.

Ok. Thanks. I've been checking updates but nothing yet. Guess it will be soon. How do you like it? Is the camera any better? Supposed to be some AI improvements.

Is it safe to update to V11.3.4.0PFCMIXM

I need an advice please!
I've just received a new Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite (MIUI Global 10.3.1)
is it safe to update to 11.3.4.0 or it's not a stable version?
Update ?: after wasting this whole couple of days searching and reading forums, it seems that all Xiaomi's updates for "Mi 9 Lite" are full of bugs and issues, so I'm going to stick with the old (Global MIUI 10.3.1) Version.
it's the first & the last time i buy a Xiaomi phone. ?
they don't give a sh** about their customers.
As long as you don't update to Android 10 you will be fine.

Thanks for your reply, but as i see a lot of people reported bugs after updating to this version. but most of it was at the end of 2019. I'm not sure if Xiaomi fixed it since then.

Thanks for the infos, but that's not the global version. i guess it's EU version. I'm afraid to update the phone to the Global 11.3.4.0 without knowing that Xiaomi fixed the bugs in this version.

that's great! but strange because a lot of users reported many bugs and higher battery usage.
yesterday i spent the whole day reading forums and most users are not happy after upgrading to Android Q (10). so you are lucky ??

I'm using MIUI 11.0.2 (Android 10 with April Google bug fixes) on T-Mobile in the US and VoWiFi and VoLTE are both working great. There are a few bugs, but nothing preventing me from doing anything I need to do. The biggest one I have is file managers (built in and third party) crashing trying to render certain thumbnails.

Question Touch function quality

Hi
Recently i bought xiaomi 11 ultra Chinese version with global rom about a week ago, coming from OnePlus 8 Pro (that was my main device for last 8 months).
Last week i noticed slow touch response and i feel the touch function was very slower than OnePlus 8 pro (120 Hz refresh rate and FHD+)
I have disabled accidental edges touch and restored the original theme.... No difference
Anyone faced same issue? Any advise ?
My xiaomi 11 ultra rom is Indonesian official rom that i was flashed after unlocking bootloader.
What a shame
I never tried this, i have a Chinese version with eu rom miui 12.5.12.0 and im amazed how good it function for me.
I like it better vs S21Ultra which i sold 3 weeks ago
I have Chinese with global too. I would say i had this one time when the tocuh response was **** and the display was lagging but then i locked and unlocked everything was normal.
It's a one time....other than that i see it very fluid.
With the latest global ROM update this problem has been fixed

i was using EU Rom on Mi 11 Pro from beginning, then i sold it for Mi 11 Ultra, using China Stable rom now when waiting for unlock bootloader. I have to say it much smoother than EU rom.

No this is not the recovery rom, this is just the firmware you need the recovery zip package. Once downloaded you can push the update with the 3 dots in the updater app choosing "choose installation package"

Beta is the weekly update, everything is not always stable because of... Ya Beta.
Stable version is ya, stable... And get updates every 2-3 month around BUT, if you like smooth and stable this is for you (like me).
