[Gobal] Miui 10 update, GPay & Sound Problem

Hello,
I recently acquired a Mi 8 and after years and years of always rooting, flashing etc... since Android 1.6 i decided to take a break and just let myself go with the flow.
This is acutally pretty hard to stand to this, when i first powered on the device (Saturday 10th November), it was on MIUI 9 and i could say it was working well, especially the bluetooth AND type-C to Jack audio. i was able to get the full volume of my head/earphone.
but now that i updated to MIUI 10 the afternoon right after my tests. Bluetooth AND type-C to Jack audio is extremly low, maybe a bit higher with jack but environmental sounds are still way more above the sound i can hear from my head/earphone.
i tested the bluetooth "pro" earphone given in the box, a bluedio T6 (bluetooth & wired) and a Sony MDR-XB950 (Wired). At maximum Volume, all i can hear is about 5% (give or take) of the real audio output i can get from them on another devices.
i Tried to activate the developper option called "Deactivate Absolute Volume" nothing changed, i tried to change the AVRCP Bluetooth version nothing changed. for the next option, no matter what i do, they don't save and revert back themselves to default:
- Bluetooth Audio Codec
- Audio Sample Rate
- Channel Bluetooth mode
- Bluetooth Audio bits
if anyone would have a solution for that it would be great, i'm really thinking of getting rid of the phone just because of that as i use it almost 5 to 11 hours a day to listen to audio.
Second is less complicated, why do i have MIUI 10.0.3.0 Stable when the latest Global Stable is 10.0.2.0 ? and isn't MIUI 10 supposed to bring Android Pie ?
last but not least, I can't seem to install GPay and it would save me lots of time, do really need to switch to a custom rom such as the one provided by Xiaomi.eu ? if so do i need to go throught the whole process of installing a custom rom and always having to try and avoid bugs and random FC + reboot every now and then ?
that was the main reason i wanted to go for a new phone and not modify it, i had great times modifying my phones until my LeEco Le Max 2 got me tired of it by having mechanical problems due to software changes.

Try to change region to USA. When the region is an European country the volume is very low. That's what I did to solve this problem.

Wow, without a reboot or anything else that solved the problem for wired audio, I'll try with my Bluetooth headset once I get home ! Thanks bro.
Any ideas why that Region Change provoked it? I'm kind of interested for the answer.

You're welcome. European Union has a policy in order to prevent ear damaging. It's very annoying I think.

Yeah I knew about that but I never encountered a limit THAT low. I guess they tried too hard on respecting that instead of getting all 4G band working or letting us use Google pay
[Edit] choosing U.S deactivated face unlock, NANI?!

@moneshaq u will have to goes back to roots .... is the right thing ....as for Bluetooth and hpj viper4android theres an magick module for that ...google pay ...same magisk can safety pass and cts aswell certified the device ...also there's an module to play dual speaker.....the phone worth the money ....

Try a different region.

After trying almost every region (i left out a lot of third-world country, no offense) U.S is the best compromise, i get normal Volume on my sony Wired headset and my Xiaomi bluetooth earpiece but almost no sound on my Bluedio T6.
GPay not available no matter what is the region i choose and Face unlock is deactivated, i also noticed that changing multiple times of region unlocks some apps that are built-in the phone but not available in every region such as Theme manager.
i've sent an unlock bootloader request, if i don't get access to Pie update until the end of the "probation" waiting time or if that update doesn't bring up some solution, even worse adds new bugs, i'll just switch to MIUI Xiaomi.eu rom, i really like MIUI and i wanna stick with it for now, and Xiaomi.eu seems to be the best option for stable rom

Mi 8 Global Version Bluetooth network signal problem after 10.1.2.0 update

Hello guys! I have a Mi 8 Global Version 128Gb with Locked Bootloader and after last Miui update to 10.1.2.0 (PEAMIFI) version I've some problems with car's Bluetooth signal.
Previously I hadn't any problem but after updating when I connect the phone with car the connection indicates there aren't network signal and I can't call using the bluetooth but I can call using the phone directly.
I think the last update contains a bug in bluetooth module thats prevent the bluetooth device detects there are network signal.
Can anyone helps me? Will this be fixed?
Thanks!

There is a workaround. If you put your SIM card in the slot 2 seems that works fine. Since I did this (two weeks ago) I didn't have problems with my car

Thanks for this dude:good:
Works for me too with MIUI 10.2.2.0(PEAMIXM). I was thinking it is because phone Bluetooth is always discoverable and there is no option to disable it.

I'm on MIUI 10.2.2.0 (PEAMIXM) and it's working!
Still hoping they fix it, though.

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?

Yes everything is working except DT2W.
There is minor bugs that will be fixed.
It's very stable.

Some 5ghz wifi bands aren't working
Auto rotate doesn't work
Bluetooth connection to audio devices fails after a call
Screen doesn't wake up when someone calls in like 90% of calls
Lineage Recovery bootloops
And yes dt2w doesn't work. Those are not minor bugs...

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.

Did you try to turn off MIUI OPTIMIZATION in Developer option?

Developer options? I can't find that...

Ahh found them... Had to enable them first... Been a while forgot about that.

Question Android auto problems

I get some trouble with my 11 and android auto on uconnect 7 fca. The phone normally connects to to connect with aa, but after a phone calling, the audio (spotify ecc), start to hear from the phone speaker and not from the car speakers. Tried everything but no success.

got the same issue

Tried everything without success

What rom are yours?
I have the same problem, with Global EEA ROM.
Waiting 3 more days to unlock and flash xiaomi.eu. Hope it will solve the issue.

I confirm - xiaomi.eu weekly rom fixed the issue..

Is there any other solution.
I have MIUI 12.5.9 global and this problem persist.

Hm.. .9? I just got an update here of MIUI Global 12.5.7 and thought that was the latest. I still have the same problem though So annoying that I went back to an really old huawei phone instead.

Me too same issue, each time a firmware update comes I test it and I pray they fixed that annoying issue without any success. This issue is been since the day one I got the phone. This is sad since my old Oneplus 6 works just fine :/

The only way i find to resolve this problem was unlock bootloader and flash another rom, in my case One OS. :/

How is that rom otherwise compared to the Global rom?

I've spoke to some people of Xiaomi forums and the admin over there is claiming AA is broken not just on Xiaomi but also other phones and that is an Android 11 problem that was not resolved yet on Android open source project, not sure if that is true as I don't have another phone on Android 11 to test.
I've already opened a ticket with Xiaomi for that, several months ago. Still no updates on it. If someone has any other android 11 phone that is not xiaomi and could test to confirm it would be great!

As I understand there was an Android 11 problem that is solved. I have talked to people using andoid 11 on Oneplus devices that works fine they claim.

I have the problem only with Waze. After a phone call, Waze is hearing from the phone speaker. The rest of the apps working ok. It's a Skoda...
I had some problem also with Samsung Note 10 before and it was the same problem with Waze app but not on every phone call. Let's say 3 from 5.

Question Bluetooth distance problem

Anyone noticing a problem with the bluetooth distance on this phone.
I have switch from an MiA2 and had no problems using my headphones with my phone in my pocket, on the redmi though I am getting skipping and jumping when using the phone in the same way. Anyone else noticed a similar problem?

I’d be happy to help, but I don’t have this phone, sorry

yep ive noticed it too on bluetooth speakers , tried jbl & lg with different players and formats . getting micro dropouts and the speakers are only a few feet away . my amazon fire tablets wifi slows right down when using bluetooth too . the only thing i can think of is the signals are causing interference .

Hmm, same circumstances today, no issues. Very strange.

Hello, I upgrade my RN5pro with RN11 (spesn) and comparing booth, rn11 have a very bad Bluetooth signal.
But I think it's MIUI Rom that cause this problem because the signal it's much better since I have installed a custom ROM.

I get the feeling that the antennas are pretty weak, compared to the Redmi Note 5 I was using before. Both Bluetooth and WiFi seem to have a significantly smaller range than I was used to in the 3 years I was using my old phone.
I've also noticed problems with my in-ear buds when I'm walking around with the phone in my pocket. I sure hope that a different OS can mitigate those problems in the long run.
Edit: What darkspirit66 said right above me.

I've got the same problem. After update to V13.0.12.0.RGCMIXM I noticed a significant ranged decreased. I tested 3 differents bluetooth headphones, and when the bluetooth device is connected, the signal drops in half. In the pocket the signal almost disappear ("Bluetooth signal meter" to see difference of signal)

I solved the problem flashing with stock rom via fastboot

What also bothers me about MIUI is that whenever I get too far from the connected bluetooth device, it will not pick it up again when I'm back in range. I really doubt it's something custom ROMs wouldn't solve. You always have to either turn off/back on the speaker, or reconnect via the settings menu.

0. Make a backup of all your data
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Download a fastboot rom
3. Flash with MiFlash
I don't know if I can post youtube links here. But you can easily find tutorials teaching how to flash via fastboot on youtube.
