Echo on phone call - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

When I'm having a phone conversation with my Mi 8, the other person can hear his/her own voice being echoed through the line when speaking. So far this has been very annoying for my correspondents.
Apparently this is not uncommon for some Xiaomi devices (mi 2e or poco f1) and is caused by the top mic not canceling out the sound from the small top speaker. But it's a software issue disappearing and returning with Miui firmware updates...
I'm having this issue on multiple custom roms (haven't tried on stock miui rom). Is there anyone who has the same problem with their Mi 8 (stock or custom) and/or knows how to resolve this?

WhatsApp Voice Message Audio Leak to Louder Speaker

When listening to a WhatsApp Voice Message via earpiece (i.e. proximity sensor) and another message arrives or any other notification, the audio is routed to the louder speaker for few seconds (length of notification audio) then routed back earpiece. So everybody around will hear that audio message.
This is extremely annoying is privacy disaster . Is it happening anyone ? Does anyone know how to solve?
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 5
All roms are affected (even AOSP ROMs)

It's a WhatsApp bug as far as I know. They should stop playback when a notification interrupts a voice message. Contact their devs.

All that I I'm hoping is that anybody who is currently using the Xiaomi Mi5 + WhatsApp to try it and confirm if the issue is there or not? so at least that i know where to start from!

Thanks a million. Let me know of u come across any fix/workaround. Not sure why Xiaomi users (maybe Mi 5 only) don't really care about this issue. IT IS REALLY SERIOUS!
I've exactly the same problem now with my Mi5s. But I'm sure it's not a problem only for Xiaomi phones. Before this, I've used a Oneplus 3 and other phones in the last 2/3 years and always with this same problem. I don't understand why it's so undiscussed.

I was 99% convinced it's the phone's kernel or phone related issue .. now that's more confusing
@XiaoMi Mi 5 users, is any of u using any ROM (Stock, AOSP, LinageOS .. etc) not affected by this issue? Pls help us understand!!
I'm using stock Redmi Note 4 (out of box config) with latest whatsapp version. This problem is killing me
Xiaomi mi a2 Lite. Same issue here on WhatsApp.
Also on FB messenger, the audios are only playing via loudspeaker and not earpiece. This is so bad... It's not happening to my brother who is using a pixel XL.

White noise/hissing in the background while listening with headphones.

Hi, so a few days ago white noise appeared while listening to for example music. Headphones aren't faulty, checked them on my computer and other phone, their are good. But the thing is, if I make phone detect my main headphones without mic they work perfectly fine but in-line controls don't work. It pretty much more noticible in lower volumes, in higher volumes you can't hear it pretty much, only when music is like fading in the end. You would say just listen to higher volumes, but I'm a type of person who notices a thing and can't unotice it.
Right now I'm on MIUI 7.9.22 (MIUI9)
This seems like a common issue with Xiaomi phones, be it the Redmi Note 3, Redmi Note 4, now the Mi 5 and the Mi A1.
What on earth is Xiaomi doing to the headphone jack?
I hear rooting and changing some stuff can fix it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/fix-crackling-static-noise-headphones-t3453004
I fixed the problem just by flashing back to MIUI 8.

Xiaomi MI 9 won't ring for incoming calls

My Xiaomi MI 9 won't ring for incoming calls sometimes, it will only do so after I have rebooted it.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a permanent solution?

I've never heard like that.
Which firmware? Try another one like Syberia

Let's go over the basics
Is it muted? (DND)
Does it have a ringtone?
Did you cover the speaker?
Was it a recent update?
How long has it been lasting?
Redmi Note 8 Pro phone not ringing for incoming calls. Sometimes caller gets busy signal when phone is not busy. Happens often but not every time, like the phone has a bug or mind of it's own. Therefore receiving calls is NOT RELIABLE> Ringtone, alerts, and settings does not fix the problem. I have a Redmi Xiomi Note 8 Pro 6gb, anroid version 10 AP1A. This is unacceptable for a phone product. What is the solution, trash the Xiomi brand and buy what? (I already don't like Apple).

Question Poor call quality (problems with microphones?)

My sister bought the phone and while talking to her I've noticed how her voice goes from sounding loud and clear starts sounding like she's in a pit few meters away from the phone.
She had a lot of complains from other people regarding this, it happens across different apps, its hard to always replicate 100% but it happens in video calls as well.
I tried some troubleshooting with her and noticed when it happens that top microphone becomes the main one, while bottom one is there for something else as tapping on it produces no noise?
Anyone had any similar issues on this phone or any other Xiaomi phone? Its barely few days old and I'm wondering should she ask for another device or try fixing it its a known problem with this or another Xiaomi device?
I guess you are not alone in this misery. I have seen many people complaining about the sound quality of Redmi Note 10 Pro.
To resolve this problem, you may follow two procedures.
1. At first please try to update the MIUI software to the latest version. You may find a solution of this bug in the updated version.
2. Then check if the microphone is faulty. To do so, enter CIT and perform a test on the main microphone. If you find out that it's not working, then you must take it to a service center.

Question Issue during calls on loudspeaker

Hello everyone,
So I just bought the Xiaomi 11T and I really love this phone, but I'm facing a bizarre issue. During a call if I turn to loudspeaker, the other person on the line says that I sound like my mic is blocked or something, and my voice is lower. It doesn't occur if I'm talking in handset mode of with any kind of earphones. It occurs on any kind of call (Phone, WhatsApp, Telegram...)
Another weird thing is that the when in loudspeaker, the other person hears any noise resulting from me moving the phone in my hand very very loudly. I'm on MIUI 13.0.5 EU version.
I really like this phone and do not wish to return it, does anyone face this issue? how do you solve it?
Thank you
