Bluetooth always discoverable

Since a MIUI update the phone cannot be hidden on bluetooth. This is a disaster. Cause a lot headache for me. Is there any tweak/mod/way to get this option back and hide the phone somehow?
For me this app worked https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.bluetoothsettings&hl=en_US
After enabling bluetooth I run this and click "Limit to devices that are already paired" and no longer see my phone from other devices. This need to be run again after turning bluetooth off and on.
Redmi 4x, MIUI 9.5.10
Doesn't seem to work for me on Mi9. Is there another option? I don't mind if it requires root

Thanks for a great tip. Worked fine for my rooted Redmi Note 4 running global 9.5.10.0. I have an identical stay-at-home phone running Revolution Remix. The ONLY reason I keep MIUI on my daily phone is SecondSpace. Nothing I have seen so far implements a virtual machine as well.

Mi a2 wifi sharing

The wifi and hotspot is not turn on at same time after updating the mi a2 to Android pie. Is this is a bug or they forgot to install the feature ? If any one have the solution please comment down.

They must have forgot to implement it. I have a strong feeling that it will be fixed in the next OTA update
They haven't implemented it yet. Does anyone have a solution for this?
For me, the hotspot doesn't even working when I try to activate the 5Ghz, it just says "error".

WiFi Problems

I am running Global 10.2. I got the phone on Saturday and since then I am unable to get wifi working properly. It will work for maybe a few minutes and then cut off. I have tried two different routers.
I am unrooted. Is there anything I can do apart from returning the phone or waiting until I can unlock the bootloader? TIA

I am having the same problem as you with my Mi9 very anoying works fine with the Hotspot shared from my Samsung S9+ but not all apps work via the home routers tried on 2 routers same thing MIUI update server is not reachable I also find Netflix doesn't work via home wifi from the MI9 but both Netflix and MIUI update work from the samsung phone hotspot netflix works fine from my other Android phones I own on my wifi though
Hope the fix this soon its very anoying.
Same problem for me : Wifi sharing is not working for all apps. It works for Chrome and Dropbox on my pc, but it seems some apps are not working. Those works with regular wifi. For exemple, nodeJS is not working fine.
Is the Mi9 blocking some ports ?
I got this problem too
I solve with set the hotspot band to fixed, 1 or 2.
But I have to set this every time I switch on hotspot.
Same problem
hi guys i m using the mi 9t and i have the same problem on 10.3.11, have you solved it or do u have any ideas on what is causing this stupid issue ?
happen to my mi9t today and i think it's kinda related to the co-ex problem between modem & wifi (problem not fix even rebooting the phone and restart wifi)
u can try the following step: settings-->wireless &networks --> more-->reset wi-fi,mobile &bluetooth
it works weel for me

Wi-Fi slow on Xiaomi Mi A2 ?

Is it just me ? Or has Wi-Fi on the Xiaomi Mi A2 has really gotten slow for some months now.. My mobile data works amazing.. my wifi speeds are amazing as it works good on my laptop and speed test on both laptop and phone gives around same results.. but the actual internet performance on wifi isnt as good as it should be... tried even on different wifi of different people. Also my phone keeps getting disconnected when I'm at a certain distance.. but laptop can keep constant connection flawlessly at even greater distance.
My wifi experience on this device hasn't always been this bad. i feel this has started from a certain update.
In some cases like downloading stuff the speed is good but sometimes apps such as instagram its not as good
In overall i dont feel for the Wi-Fi to be a reliable network on my Phone.
Might there be a reason this is happening?
Mi A2 wifi module is really bad, it can do better if you are on 2.4ghz, but not so much. I am on Pixel Extended, problem remains

Well, oreo and pie firmware is good. Q firmware is mostly bad. If custom rom, try oreo wifi firmware.
How? Search it in telegram.

Oh thanks mate... any specific telegraph group you referring to?
Although I'm not much interested in all the ROM kernel and alll that stuff.. I've left that path long ago.. although i would love to root my phone and get the camera 2 api.

POCO X3 NFS and Android Auto

Hi,
I'm having a lot of pain with my POCO X3 and Android Auto hope to find help here...
1. I need to connect my phone twice in order to connect to AA. I need to disconnect it twice from my car multimedia port side, if I unplug it from my phone side (USB-C) it takes more than 2 times to connect to AA.
2. After a phone call any audio (Spotify, streaming radio, other phone call) is routed to my phone speaker, I need to disconnect and connect my phone (twice) to solve it.
3. GPS signal is with a delay
4. Incoming call - it takes forever to show the call information (who's calling me).
5. Selecting apps via AA, very slow response time, even in app, for example I'm trying to add a report via Waze it's almost impossible, trying to make a phone call while using Waze.
I'm getting the same results in 2 different cars, I've tried different cables... I don't use Dual apps which I know is making trouble with AA.
I've tried Apple Carplay and it's working very well and very smooth.
Hope you guys will be able to help me..
Wow, I'm not the only one with your point 2! I thought it was my setup.
I'm running stock Android 10 MIUI rooted with Magisk.
@mosheva what's your setup so we can try and debug this?

I'm on stock Android 10 MIUI 12.0.8 not roored..
what about the other issues? your Waze is running correctly? You plug your device only 1 time?
So frustrating...
Waze, maps, etc work fine. It's just the sound direction after a phone call that is the issue for me (your point 2)

Thanks, the 2 times to connect is one of my most frustrating issues...
What is your setting for the usb? File transfer? MTP? Do you use special cable?
File transfer. In the car I use a micro usb cable with a usb c adapter.

Anyone got the issue 2 solved? I've been trying so hard on getting it solved it's so frustrating
For those of us having issues with sound redirection after a phone call, are you rooted? I ask because I'm trying to narrow down the route to a possible solution. If we are rooted, it becomes easier. I'm not worried about using 3rd party ROMs because I had this issue on stock.
I'm rooted
Seems it is not issue on POCO only. I have the same sound redirection with Mi11, stock global rom, not rooted. Bootloader is not unlocked yet, so once done, I am planning to flash xiaomi.eu rom as it seems the issue is fixed there.

I was on the EU ROM and it wasn't fixed for me Hope you have better luck
I guess it's Xiaomi issue and not just POCO phone issue...
I'm using an old iPhone as a secondary phone while I'm driving just for the Apple CarPlay as all of my other old working phones are Xiaomi...

IF I'm on a regular MIUI rom 12.0.1.0 RJGMIXM can I flash the EU rom over? or is the EU rom is a different rom then the original...

Hi, yesterday I installed the 12.5.9 eu version, confirm that the problem of the sound that is passed to the mobile after a call, continues to occur.
Today I installed version 21.6.30 as commented by the colleague and they have effectively solved the problem of the sound that jumped to the phone after a call.
Great!
