Switched from Galaxy s2 to Hox and in general Hox is better,
but there are some faults that in my case are:
wi-fi
screen flicker
These two seem to be fixed with 1.29 update.
But my major problem is the signal loss and call quality.
Tried two networks Talkmobile (vodafone) and i am now on Tmobile-Orange, always with the same problem in call quality is crap compared to Samsung Galaxy s2.
People used to say "where are you it is so clear" but now is "I can't hear you" so i have to move and the call sometimes has noise on the background.
Does anyone know if 1.29 fixes this problem?
Is noise cancellation on by default?
I have a branded phone and as usual updates take forever.
On the last year I had 5 expensive phones (1 iphone+4 android) lg/htc/samsung,etc., they have to get their act together.
I had problems in all of them
Why so many bugs?
1.29.401.11 fixes most of the main issues
flicker, glitches, screen color temps, video playback bug and more conservative CPU use and hence better power consumption/heat at the cost of performance
no wifi issues what so ever

Thanks for the reply,
can anyone confirm if the signal gets better?
As i read somewhere the radio changes on 1.29 .
The call quality is s***t and other people says they have problem too with some networks.
I know how to root but didn't want to do it now, just in case i need to send to warranty.

In other words you're saying that you can't lock on GPS satellites and therefore actually use your GPS? That seems weird though, most people don't seem to have that problem...

I have a rather hit-and-miss experience with GPS too. I know why though. In gps.conf, the ntp server is set to the US explicitly, so will cause delays in getting a lock, and sometimes refuse to lock. I've seen it trying to lock using the GPS Status app, and 3 or 4 satellites go green for a split second, before going grey again - then repeat forever until I reboot.
I have an O2 handset, so not sure if they are all this way. You can use any explorer app to open a read the gps.conf file and see for yourself.

Thanks for that. I have checked, and it says:
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
Would it be safe to edit it, and what to?
I have just spoken to HTC, and they have said that that isn't the problem. Hmm
I mean is this as good as its gonna get? I got it set to 2.4ghz. Bluetooth off. It still sucks, I can barely go outside of my house without dropping my connection. My iPod and evo3d would go to the edges of my yard and then some. Same at work. IPod (first gen) streams all day long without a hiccup. I can be right next to it with my gn and if I do get a connection it is very short lived.
Are there any kernals or rooms that can help with this? Anything else I can try?
You can try franco.kernel, the control app has an option to increase wifi strength.

I know. But my evo3d and my iPod both maintain wifi where my gn will not.
I don't believe the Franco.kernel will give you better wifi signal.. I believe it's only keeping the wifi from entering low power mode when the screen is off. Hence it saying "useful for streaming media with the screen off".
There is no rom/kernel combination for a wifi deficiency, sorry OP :/

Good to know. Thanks
Just some input here...
I have a Droid X.
And my Laptop.
And my GNex.
All connected to the same wireless router.
I just jumped into my car (where I've streamed netflix before...as I smoked a cig) while parked in the street...same spot as always.
Laptop holds "weak" signal here.
Droid X: One bar.
GNex: One bar.
(All three devices are connected to the same extent that I'd expect them to be)
MAYBE you're radio is faulty.
Maybe not. It's hard to say.
I read somewhere that setting your 5Ghz band router settings to a channel below 48 could help eleviate some connection issues.
Gonna try this myself when I get back home since I´m having a very hard time connecting to my 5Ghz band.
But perhaps experiment with changing channels on the 2.4Ghz band could help? If you have access to the router perhaps give it a go. Might help, might not.
Is there anyway to force roam? When it roams at work I can browse the internet just fine. Problem is it goes between roam and sprint, when on sprint I get no data connection in the building

There is this general conception of how Bluetooth kills battery and how you shouldn't leave it on.The Mi band is the only device that doesn't kill your battery at all(I mean it literally) and has amazing battery life. I've had it for a week and it's gone from 63-44%.It's battery life is fantastic.No matter the device you have, if it has Android 4.4+ and Bluetooth 4.0+ then it shouldn't drain your battery.It's connection is completely over Bluetooth LE in such a way that the Bluetooth settings show no device connected but it can be found using the app.This means it's using just the Bluetooth LE code introduced by Google with 4.3.So Don't ask about Bluetooth on blahblah.....It does nothing to your battery.

-No probs at all.I use it with my G2.I'll be switching roms to check but flawless on AOSP 4.4.
-It's connected to bluetooth all the time but it is completely LE unlike anything I've seen before.It doesn't show up in bluetooth devices and only its app detects it.Also the bluetooth icon shows bluetooth on but not connected unlike with a speaker or headset.This means it really almost never affects battery life as I noticed for the past 72hrs and that the connection is not active but completely on bluetooth LE.Syncing is done when u open the app without any pain.
-Call time vib is 3secs because it may need time to connect the band and send the vibration command depending on where you are.This is convenient if you go lets say to a store.It disconnects but as soon as u get back home say u have a call.Because the band doesn't need to be connected to ur phone all the time(power saving) it reconnects within the 3 secs and vibrates.But it's almost instant.Open an app on your device afresh and that's how long it takes.

The LEDs light up for calls,when ur close to ur goal(with 2LEDs) and when u reach your goal(3).Also for alarms,finding your miband and low battery(never had this yet).For notifications nothing yet.Vibs are only for calls.I wish someone would make an app for this notifications and LEDs changing with various notifications(it's a multicolor LED) for the mi band.It's only for calls for now.But it's xiaomi.That option may come.I got a firmware update when I installed the official app so yeah they do updates.This was obviously downloaded on the phone and pushed over and it took 20secs or so.

You never know if it is connected(only if u have the app opened) because it doesn't have to be every time.The band records data and when ur close it syncs when the app is open.The battery truely last long.It's on 51% from 63% after 4 days of intensive use.Also come on dude 10m is the maximum for bluetooth so don't expect magic here.

First of all, thank you for the AMA!
I would also have a couple of questions:
1. How does the vibrating alarm work? Does it wait this it senses movement in the half hour before the set time and wakes you then or it begins to vibrate at the set time?
2. Does this function work even if the phones Bluetooth is turned of? (are the alarms transferred to the band and the it can be independent)
3. How accurate do you consider the sleep/motion tracking to be?
Thank you
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Good second question.
1.It works well.I didn't quite get it's smart alarm feature yet but if you set an alarm it vibrates 4 times on your wrist at the time of the alarm.I set two simultaneously as i find it hard to get up in the morning.The smart alarm says it can get you up in a 30mins range from the time you set the alarm so maybe when it detects light sleep during 30mins from the set time it will get you up.That's the only hit or miss feature but you don't need smart alarms just do a regular one.
2.It is a transfered alarm unfortunately.During my testing I noticed the mi band stores only motion and its app translates it into steps,run,sleep,blabla....Alarms and call vibrations are all triggered from the phone so if your phone is off you would not get up in the morning.Buetooth off is not allowed.
3.The motion tracking is good it does a nice job at not counting steps when using your "mi band hand" like during eating or typing or even closing your mouth when you cough(don't put it on your active hand though,all fitness trackers advice this for more accuracy).It's accurate and on par with the best fitness tracking tech available.It's not like S health or LG health that can give you 100 steps just for shaking your phone.The sleep tracking is magical.It works so well for me.Detects when I'm about to sleep,in deep sleep,light sleep,get up at night,wake up time...It does all that so well and if it is off maybe just by one minute or two and seldom happens.The sleep tracking is a winner.Well the only thing is you get info on your sleep but how to make it better is up to you.

You told a few post ago that you are left-handed (like me) and you wear Mi Band on your left wrist. I'd like to know why you are using Mi Band that way. It seems logical for me to wear it on the right wrist so you avoid movements like drinking water, using the computer mouse and so and just monitor movements related to walking, running, etc. I'm not sure if my logic is flaw. What do you think? Also I'm not sure if Xiaomi recommends anything about it.
Thank you very much.

I'm L&R handed but it is configurable for left or right hand use in the settings.You have to use it on your less active hand.It does a good job at not counting steps unnecessarily(using a mouse,greeting some one,typing .....).I've not seen it miscount like that yet.I'll post a video review here soon.Stay posted.

I can connect and sync from maybe 2-3 meters but for using it to unlock the phone it's just a few 10's of cm. For example, I am left-handed and have the mi band on my left wrist, if I hold the phone normally in my right hand it won't unlock, but if I move it too my left hand it will.

so pretty much im laying down talking on the phone and during the call all of a sudden the other person cant hear me, i can hear them but they cant hear me. so at first i thought its the signal, but i have full bars. then i turned off the option where if you place your phone facing down that itll mute, but the problem continues. so today i noticed that when that happens, i leave the phone where it is, press the speaker option and it works! so it isnt the signal! can any body tell me if its a setting im missing or is it something i should take it back to the att store?
are you sure the screen is shutting off? perhaps your cheek is hitting the mute/unmute icon (speaker icon)?

So anyone know a fix or know if i should take it to att for a replacement ?
issue I'm having is odd...I think it correlates to Bluetooth, but still working with advanced tech support. when I change towers, whether I receive or make a call, the phone drops all connection and says "out of service area". then comes right back. seems better without Bluetooth, but still happens. tech has no answers yet. already replaced sim twice and registered phone several times.
EDIT: I turned on the UTMS HD Voice using the hidden diagnostic menu and after 5 test calls today, no drops. Not sure if it is coincidence or something else...

I've also been experiencing similar issues, 2 issues in particular
1. During a call, I suddenly can't hear the other person or they suddenly can't hear me and I have to end the call and call back
2. I attempt to place a call, it rings and then when the other party picks up I hear nothing, they hear nothing. I sometimes have to call twice or three times before there's a successful call and I hear them and them hear me.
These issues occur randomly, with and without bluetooth. I've tried factory resetting the phone but the problem has continued.
I purchased my phone from Amazon.

Yea I found them last night, I'd missed them somehow before. I have it enabled but haven't noticed anything as far as being more clear or a specific icon on the screen. I remember having seen another thread on this, maybe it was in the Verizon forum, that stated the UTMS was not even the right network option to enable the HD though? Does anybody know for sure?
PROBLEM SOLVED
Mate 20X (EVR-AL00; Build no. 9.0.0.136). I left my phone at home while downloading the new games via our Wi-Fi. But when I got back, I noticed that it has not downloaded any more data since I left it.
The culprit? The option Stay connected when device sleeps under the battery settings is DISABLED (neither ON nor OFF). Anyone else has this experience? What can be done about it?

@the_passerby5981 I figured it out, and boy your going to hate sending yours back, I was right, it is tied to something. I kept thkinking and kept coming back to this thread knowing you and I were missing something, and I found it from your screenshot and others, then tested it on mine and bingo. The reason its disabled is because it is tied to the SIM card. So that setting is tied to a sim card, and it didnt work on yours or mine because we were both testing it out without a SIM, and as soon as I put mine in to see if I was right, it enabled to turn on or off.

BUG FOUND! (Problem solved).
Android 8 had the option under WLAN and option to disable staying connected to WLAN and MOBILE as separate.
In Android 9, they are baked together under Battery. Thus, Stay awake when device sleeps gets DISABLED WHEN NO SIM IS INSERTED.

Moderators, please close the thread. I seem to not have enough privileges to do it myself.
Mine was checked on but a good one to know. Need a good week to really go thru the settings and get them set how you like. Like a maze with secret passages.

Mate 20X (EVR-AL00; Build no. 9.0.0.136). I left my phone at home while downloading the new games via our Wi-Fi. But when I got back, I noticed that it has not downloaded any more data since I left it.
The culprit? The option Stay connected when device sleeps under the battery settings is DISABLED (neither ON nor OFF). Anyone else has this experience? What can be done about it?

Did you do it yourself? Or did it come that way?

I think I had to turn it on. Been over a week since I got it. Changed so much stuff can't remember. Old-timers setting in.

Goofy ass Hicare iPhone wanna be says I feel your pain and rest your phone. I wanted to tell her to go where the sun doesn't shine but just doing her job. But she maybe right. May have to reset

That's really strange have you ever restarted the phone since the new update. If that doesn't work you can try to reset all settings and see if that works there's no reason why yours is blocked and other people's aren't unless you have some kind of aggressive battery manager or something.

Resetting the settings did nothing. Gonna give a shot at resetting the phone. I didn't tinker with any other settings coz I wanted the phone to be up and running at once. It only happened that I hit a snag with this issue.
TAKE NOTE: My unit is running on a "China ROM".

Do you also have an EVR-AL00 running on 9.0.0.136?

Yeah I have the same phone.
same, able to change no problem
I tried last night to toggle thinks on and off to try to get mine to gray out. I couldn't. I tried again with HiCare but he needs some info for your phone. Give them a try. You need that option.

I also have the EVR-AL00 with Build Number 9.0.0.136. I have no problem to enable/disable the option. See the pictures.

Just to clarify, you have the same phone and build number as mine, AND the same experience? Cannot toggle "Stay connected when device is asleep" ON/OFF?

Yes I have the same Phone and build number but I can toggle the "stay connected when device is asleep"tab on and off
1. So, there are about 5 users here with the same model number (EVR-AL00) and build number (9.0.0.136). Some can toggle "Stay connected while device sleeps", while--like me--hughey2k2 cannot. I cannot.
2. If it were a software problem, then all of us should have the same experience.
3. Does this point to, possibly, a hardware-related problem peculiar to the specific production batch? (Just to spell it out I mean, hughey2k2's phone were produced in the batch and there was a problem in production--possibly hardware--that could be the cause).
Comments?
EDIT: hughey2k2's unit does not have the same problem.

If you can toggle ON/OFF, then what is pissing you off about it?
