Hi Guys,
I've been having a real hard time with this phone, I am sitting on the MIUI 10 stable global rom at the moment and I was wondering if you guys turn off MIUI optimization at all (in the developer settings) I'm not entirely sure what it does, but toggling it wipes out alot of permissions.
I've got 2 big issues with this phone. the Video Chat mic bug (Which I have seemed to get around by using WhatsApp for video chats)
The other being Android Auto not connecting all the time. I was wondering if maybe because this MIUI optimization is like a task killer that keeps killing stuff in the background?
When I need Android Auto to work, all I have to do is toggle USB Debugging and it fires up right away. Very strange, but it works for now.
Side Note for Xiaomi, Why do you need to lock down the phones like this? Android memory management works great, please don't mess with it. I just don't understand why we have these extra layers of security and permissions. It really messes with any third party apps, what an ordeal it is to get notifications working for example on any third part texting app. I have to go into like 3 different areas and then only sometimes it works. Please leave android alone, it works fine the way it is
I just turned them off. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Hi All
First time really contributing to this but I feel like some super-duper hacker (not that I know anything!). I'm smart and can play around with things. I actually trained as a lawyer, went into recruitment but am now considering moving into computing! This is fun and you can be involved in projects. However my eye has developed a nasty twitch... Recruitment is dead now anyway. (Any tips on how I can begin getting into programming/app development/ XDA work etc whatever it is would be appreciated, (I literally have no idea where to go but I'd like to!)).
Anyway, back on topic:-
So...I've been up for the past 24 hours with a new laptop and at first rescuing my Samsung Galaxy S6 which got caught in a bootloop with no recovery, (had to hard reset, lost all data), upgraded Android to Nougat. It all started when I went to do a recovery boot to get Magisk to work but it all went haywire. :crying:
Happy to give you a system specs - models - builds etc, if there's a good way of doing that let me know and I'll post so you techies can take a look and see what might be the reasons behind the issues. I'm running a 'bug report' through Developer Options at the moment and can post this if useful? I have a Bug Report that I've generated if this is useful to anyone in getting to the bottom of these issues, let me know and I can send...
Ok, so with no further waffling, the issues I've seen so far in the short time I've had this lineage-14.1-20170307-UNOFFICIAL-Nexus7420-zerofltexx-2 (this is the Zip file that I found for the Samsung Galaxy S6 which I understand is only developmental at the moment, it doesn't have its own one yet?)... (in descending order of importance):-
1. Fastcharging - this is very important to me. This seems to have stopped working. How can we get this back? Potentially a dealbreaker with the ROM if this can't be sorted quickly.
2. EE I should be receiving 4G++ super duper speeds on EE. This is really impressive and is very important again. However, since flashing the ROM etc, it's only connecting to T-Mobile (a connected network to EE but doesn't benefit from their 4G++ network, EE bought T-Mobile in the UK ages ago). I've contacted EE about this as I thought it may just be a settings issue. They sent me settings though it's still not working. Potentially a dealbreaker with the ROM if this can't be sorted quickly.
3. Whatsapp VoiceNotes - I use WhatsApp voicenotes all the time; it's a crucial part of my day. Since upgrading there are two issues I can see with this:- a) there is an interference noise that ruins the clarity of each recording sent, it's there the whole time; and b) the recording itself sounds like it's slowed down and doesn't sound normal or right. At the moment this is unusabule and it's massively important, I'd imagine to most people too. Potentially a dealbreaker with the ROM if this can't be sorted quickly.
4. Magisk - The reason for embarking on the entire debacle of the past 24 hours has been to be able to hide my root. That's why I wanted Magisk in the first place so I could use the apps like banking apps and SnapChat and Virgin TV that in draconian fashion refuse to let one use them when it sees it's a rooted device. Magisk to the rescue (in theory). So when I load up Magisk Manager now under SafetyNet Check Success, the basicIntegrity option is sometimes fine though now it's showing 'X'; and 'ctsProfile:false' is permanently showing. I've hidden Google Play Services and Google Play as I read this can cause issues. It does show #superuser in the dropdown and I'm not sure if this is a legacy from SuperSu I had before (don't think so as I did a complete reboot) or if this is part of the app?
5. Torch - torch option on settings panel doesn't seem to yield any torchlight at all. I wonder if other apps work or if there's anything the techies can do here?
Thanks so much for reading and I look forward to helping or assisting in solving in whatever way I can.

So in addition to these I've also discovered a further three issues:-
6. WhatsApp camera not working - you can take a photo within WhatsApp but it doesn't progress to the launch screen to the next screen to send the photo. Strangely, video clips do seem to work...
7. Bluetooth headset doesn't seem to be working anymore
8. Sky Sports App once you get past permissions and everything to watch the show it freezes on the loading step. I imagine this is something to do with the modified ROM/Kernel?

9. I'll also add in here that call volume and volume in general seem really low.
As a result of these nine bugs I'm going to have to revert back to an older version, quite possibly Stock Android, unfortunately... :crying:
Hello,
Can "Scheduled Power OFF/ON" feature be added into the future builds(LineageOS 14.1)?
I would be happy if Lineage builds get this awesome feature!
There are some third party apps (like automate) which are only capable of switching OFF the device, not capable of turning it back ON......so I request LineageOS team to work on this feature.:good:
Thanks in advance!
Eagerly waiting for this feature...
Sent from my Asus Zenfone 2( Z00A) running Official lineageOS 14.1 builds.
The thing is that this was removed from devices after it was found not to really turn the device off completely. Which makes complete sense as if it is completely off then there is no way to turn it back on.

On older removable battery Chinese phones when this feature was there, the scheduled power on/off times and dates were the same when the battery was replaced, whether immediately or later (not sure about how much later).
But miui has this feature and it works great on MIUI
Zelendel, kindly point to the commit that was removing the feature.
I would like to try restoring it back for myself.
And what is the programmatic method the app was working? Are you saying that was just enabling airplane mode and switching screen off?
Pretty much that is all it was doing. It was leaving the internet hardware on.
As for the commit. You may not find it. It is not part of the open source android. It is closed sourced and not even really seen anymore on major devices. Most Chinese devices use it as a way to send data back to China when the user doesn't think anything is happening.
i am waiting for solution too.
I think you can make your phone life longer by keeping it off 8 hours a day.
I think that some phones have that hardware ability and some don't. PCs have this ability too.
I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 running on unofficial Lineage OS 17. This feature is partially implemented now.
I set on an alarm.
I power off my phone.
The phone powers up when the alarm goes off. This works only if the alarm is set 5 or more minutes ahead from the time you power off.
As this works flawlessly, it should be pretty easy to add an "Automatic/Scheduled turn On/Off" in the phone settings.
I'm using crontab to automatically turning the phone off at 1 am. The problem is that if I'm still awake and using the phone at that time, it does not warn me. It just turns off. A feature in the phone settings would allow me to abort right before turning of.
If anybody is interested to know the graceful poweroff command, this is my cron tab line
Code:
00 1 * * * am start -a com.android.internal.intent.action.REQUEST_SHUTDOWN
Hi guys,
I've updated the phone to the last global beta - 7.12.28 and noticed one big issue and a few other smaller ones. I hope someone might have ideas on how to fix them.
The WiFi turns on as soon as the screen is off. What I've done so far is to make sure no app has permission to turn the WiFi on (using the built in permission manager). I've cleared cache and rebooted the phone several times.
Another issue is the MIUI memory optimization is always disabled, no matter if you change it to something else or not.
And the third one that I can think of right now is the region - it always reverts back to China. Now this has been outgoing for a while, so it might be something with my phone.
What I've done on the phone is to root it and have Xposed install and active. I've also ran Unbloatmi, great script to get rid of apps you don't need. I haven't tried alternative roms like Lineage.
Recently I installed floppy kernel, but the wifi issue remains with the stock kernel too.
I'm open to suggestions
Issue resolved with the next update.
I suggest to you to use global stable. It's old, but global dev is always bugged for this phone. Do what you want, but my experience is bad
Yeah it's always preferred to use stable roms on phones in production environment. But I like to live on the edge And I got into the routine to remove most of the unnecessary apps right after the update. So overall - the phone is quite stable. But now it has the same MAC as my wife's phone. Go figure...
Hello everyone, i've been experiencing this problem for a while now: every time i put an app in the background (swipe up on gesture / middle button in traditional), Android immediately closes it for me. I keep seeing in the list of open apps (long swipe up on gesture / square key in traditional) the apps I should have in the background but as soon as I open them it's like I'm starting them for the first time, not saving anything I was doing before. So far i've been able to live with it, but now I can't postpone this problem anymore.
What i tried so far:
Restarted the phone several time
Turned off adaptive battery and battery optimization
Turned off energy saving
Didn't touch anything in the developer settings
And i got another issue probably linked to this one: in the GMail app, the notifications for multiple accounts only works to the account you are viewing, not to the others. (Example: If i'm connected to two accounts, A and B, and i'm viewing B's emails, if i receive an email on A's account the notification won't work. If i receive the email on B's account while i'm viewing A's emails, it won't work either).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Just in case you want to know i'm currently on 11.0.5.0 build.
EDIT 2: Link to my reply with a possible solution to the application issue: LINK
As always Android cant reach iOS level Ram management or oems manupilating it.
Same here after the latest update

Xiaomi team for our device is at fault. If you want the best android experience you should buy Pixel phones.
I'm also having this problem. Seems that restart helps a bit for some time but not for long. It is really an awful experience to use the phone like this. Having the 4 GB version.
It's the first time that I'll complain about this phone! But the use is unbearable now! I have the 4gb version too! I hope the next update fixes things
As far as I know, this problem is common on our device. If the next update isn't going to fix it, then I'm switching to a custom ROM. HavocOS, RebelOS or LineageOS 17.1.
Never had this problem before but is indeed the first time I'm also considering a custom Rom too!
If you're rooted you can fix this using LSpeed app
Hello again, i apologize for being away for a while, but i had personal problems.
I just wanted to reply to my own thread because today i updated to 11.0.7.0 build, but they don't seem to have solved anything? The changelog says only
Optimization: Increased system stability. Reduced system lag

(other than June Security Patch). I'm reading the replies now, and i have to tell you that (currently) i can't root or install a Custom Rom because it would conflict with my bank's application.
So, once again, no support from Xiaomi... but the great news is that i may have found a solution for the application problem! I will link this reply to the main post, so you can find it more easily, let me know if it works for you too!
What i did:
Disabled Adaptive Battery under "Settings -> Battery ->Adaptive Battery"
Disabled Night brightness (also the plannings)
Disabled Do Not Disturb (also the plannings)
Disabled Rest mode (if any)
Rebooted the phone
Try it out with two application, and if you want to reactivate some features after the reboot, i discovered that "Adaptive Battery" creates problems only after some days since it's turned on, so i suggest to keep it disabled. For the other settings, i can't confirm anything because i haven't tried yet, so let me know.
Thanks
Finaly it worked. :good:
I was searching for this problem for a long time.
Your solution worked with me.
I want to say:
I already jave disabled adaptive battery, Night brightness and Don't disturb mode. But only Recovery mode I needed to disable it, then I rebooted the phone.
Now I can switch between applications, and no application have been closed.
Thank you
what recovery mode do you think?where can I find it? thanks
Hello,
I'm from Morocco and currently using a XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 8, (64Go/4Go), running the latest version of MIUI 11.0.11.0 Global stable with Android 9.
So i'm having this really annoying problem whith the notification when the phone is closed. So basiclly the sound of the notification should come at the time of recieving the notification but in my case there is a delay of 2 to 3 min or even more than that sometimes. And even sometimes the sound is not heard at all even with the notification is recieved. Only the light bulbe for the notification is blinking.
This problem happened especially with the Whatsapp application. Everything in the notifications seetings is on, all permission are granted, locked the app in the recent app, turned on autostart, disabled battery saver even though i don't use it at all, put no restriction on the app, turned on background data. I've tried to use different network connection still the same problem. I don't seem to find a reason why would this happend and find a solution for that. I did perform a factory reset but doesn't seem to be fixed. Everything in the begining was working fine no issue at all. I don't seem to remember when it start to happend, I've asked my freinds owning the same device if they are facing the same issue all of them denied. So the question is if all the devices have the same software that they are operating on they should have the same bug or problem if i wan't to say. But not in this case. I have not installed any 3rd party app that has to do with the battery at all.
I do use my mom's phone to test this out. The phone is on everything works perfectly. I locked the phone and the problem start. It's like ther is something that shut the notifications immediately when i close the phone (dnd is not activated also battery saver as i mentioned earlier). So if there is any kind of solution to this problem please help me with or if there is a dev please let them know to fix this issue. I did reported it in the feedback section on the phone 10 times in the time of writing this thread. I'm currently waiting for the new update hoping that it will fix the problem otherwise this is really disappointing. The best selling phone in the market facing issue like this, that's not very acceptable at all. This made me miss a lot of important notifications. Hope that it will be fixed as soon as possible.
If you want to help me and you need any more info please leave me a comment and i will send them to you (screenshots of the settings etc....).
Thanks for your time.
Stay safe.
Have a nice day.

1. Turn off miui optimization under developer options
2. Give all permissions, no battery optimization to google play services and framework. Before doing this, clear data of those apps(removes google account!).
3. Check if it's added to game turbo or not
These are some more possible solutions. After checking all those, reboot once and check if the problem is solved or not.

Hello,
Thanks for you response. I've already done what you did sggest to me but still the samething always late notification sound.
It's not added to game turbo i don't even use it and it's disabled. Google play services and framework don't have any kind of restrictions whatsoever. I don't want turn off miui optimization cuz it mess up with a lot of visuals.
I think it's a software issue. Because sometimes when i want to change the ringtone and i tap on a different one it took a lit bit of time to play it same thing when changing the notification. This problem is happening when the phone is locked only.
I'm cuurently waiting for the new update with a hope that it will fix it.
Thanks again.
have a nice day.
