Mi Max 2 International version does not connect to internet outside UK - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Hi, got a Mi Max 2 international version MIUI 10.2 Android 7.1.1 Bought it from China and works perfectly well in the UK. However whenever i go anywhere else I'm unable to connect to the internet. Can make phone calls and receive txt and whenever Wifi it also works OK. Tried anything I could think of while in Spain and Poland to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated pls.

Perhaps a stupid question, but did you switch roaming on?

Note 4 N910A from to France

Hello everyone, I am French and I live in France, I bought on the Internet (Amazon) a note 4 thinking that it would be made for France. I received a note 4 with reference N910A, so a phone that is done normally for the USA. On my phone I have android kitkat 4.4.4 and no recent android version is available when I ask for the update. With my phone I have all AT & T applications that do not serve in France. I can call and send SMS, but I can not send mms. I would like to know how I can install a newer version of Android still being able to continue to use my note 4 in France, please.
to upgrade the software you need to follow the directions in the thread below

for MMS to work you probably need to adjust some setting on your phone. If you call your carrier they should be able to help you put in the correct MMS setting. You shoudl also check if the internet is working so they can help you with that was well if its an issue.
If you can get an AT&T sim card or AT&T MVNO's sim card, like H20 wireless, insert the sim card into your phone and probably can get update from AT&T(of course the phone need to be able to access the internet), at least it works in US. The MMS issue depends on your carrier, you need to ask your carrier how to set the phone to get MMS works.

UMTS/HSDPA/3G not connecting on MIUI 8 for anyone else?

I have an issue with every build I've tried of MIUI 8 (Stable versions), but not with the developer versions of MIUI 9.
The phone will not connect to UMTS/3G networks with either sim. LTE works fine, and there's no GSM where I live so I can't test that.
It will connect for a moment when first booting up the phone, then immediately disconnect and stay disconnected. It can't find 3G networks when searching either.
Again, this doesn't happen on MIUI 9 builds, but I figure this big of a bug, they would never release it as stable. Can anyone else let me know if they've had this problem?
Hello, I`m having same issue, here in this way. In town there are many repeaters. Here is no problem, in germany many 4G-Networks are working in band 20 (800 mhz). In areas, where no 4G/lte is possible, the mi mix2 (china stable miui8 and china dev miui9) the mix2 can not connect to 3G/UMTS. A smartphone Redmi note 4 with this SIMCard connects to 3G/UMTS and gets connection data to HSDPA+. The mi mix icon diasappears and there is a "emergency" Icon. Then the mi mix2 connect only to GSM and after 1-2 minutes get Data to EDGE. But at this place it is possible to connect to 3G. I rebooted the device many times, changes sim to other slot. Tried China dev and stable. Last test with XIAOMI.EU and EPICROM for MIX2 are sad. Same issue
Many MIX2-User have this effect. I have this effect on Sim-Cards from provider Telefonica/O2. I have tried 3 Sim-cards from provider O2. No 3G - Connect.
In germanys-forums the is a hint to define "force 3G-Connects". Some user writes, that they do not have this effect with this definition.
Does have XIAOMI a 3G-Bug with new MIMIX2??

If you're on MIUI 9 beta, you already have the radio I'm talking about.

The default Setting for this SIM is: LTE/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA... this is almost wrong, because we havent TD-SCDMA in Germany, i ve switched to LTE/UMTS RPL ...this seems to work better with my o2 card.
Sometimes the connection breaks down from LTE or LTE+ to H+ ...but after the break down, i have no data connection. If i activate flight mode and re enable data, i also get H+ but for now with data connecting. This is very frustrating
Also that my Settings to LTE/UMTS are removed after a reboot or i switch to the second sim. Any suggestions to fix it permanent to LTE/UMTS ?
Did anyone tried MI MIX 2 Global - Version?´ Bug exists still there?
I am on 9.1
I set it on LTE/TD-SCDMA/GSM. I live in Germany too and have a O2 card.
GSM is slower than UMTS cause it's older. But it works without problems.
Now I trying with LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS. I have to say that I have some problems too.

we dont have TD-SCDMA in Germany so, this setting is false... TD-SCDMA is a chinese or asian network standard

I have a new (2.nd) MI MIX 2. And: I have the same Problem. O2 is switching vom GSM/EDGE to UMTS an gets no Connect. Then only "EMRGENCY CALLs". And then GSM again. o2 is provider. roaming is on.
With second SIM (Vodafone) there is no problem. Is there a fix for that problem? One member wrote there is a new "radio". Where to find it?
Same SIM (o2) in a REDMI NOTE 4 (LTE Band 20 800 MHZ) is "ok". It is an MI MIX 2 - Problem!
I have the MIUI 9 Global.
MI MIX2 with O2 and no LTE and no 3G/UMTS??? Joke?

change network to LTE/UMTS PRL ...then it should work better PRL = prefered roaming list; go to settings -> about phone -> tap several times on the info about internal storage -> the network app will appear, now you can change network settings... until next boot, then you have to set it again
maybe mix 2 has a problem with national roaming?! cause o2 uses national roaming -> their own network and the network from e-plus
Yes, the MIX 2 does have issues with switching to anything other than LTE. Even when it says it switched to H or H+ there is actually no reception at all and it takes a few minutes for it to recover. Really annoying, hopefully the engineers fix this issue as soon as possible. Pretty inexcusable bug for such a device.
Hello, Switching to " LTE/UMTS PRL" has the effect, only UMTS/3G-Connections are possible. No LTE/4G. Provider: German O2.
XIAOMI might have to fix this bug.
Q: Has anyone took a Message to [email protected] ?? http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=bugfeedback&fid=5&page=1

LTE/UMTS PRL fixed that for me totaly ... i dont had any issues since them! I am also getting LTE and LTE-A with o2 and i am travelling a lot due to my job in germany.
i think its also problem with o2 and national roaming. if you search for this problem in google, you will find the same issue reports from other devices within in the o2 network. I did never had the same problems with my other D1 card in the same device.
LTE/UMTS does not work for me.
Since yesterday I use LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS and it works fine.
Provider: O2 Germany
It looks like 3G/HSPA doesn't work when roaming (possibly local roaming too). LTE works fine. In the UK I can get internet all the time regardless of connection type. I travelled abroad and only LTE worked using my UK SIM. This also happens on AOSP based ROMs since I'm using Resurrection Remix and still experienced the issue.

Yes, this is clearly a firmware-level issue. They need to fix their modem.

Network problems

Hi everyone, first sorry for my bad English, I'm from Algeria (north Africa) and I bought a used Tmobile S6 edge plus (sm-g928T), the phone worked fine but it had some overheating issues and was stucked on android 6 with no available updates so I decided to flash it to the stock firmware and I did it successfully using samfirm and Odin, now overheating issues have gone and the phone is up to date but I'm having serious problems using my local sim card, calls work only with the phone set up on "2g only", when it is set up on "automatic" and I make a call I can hear the person but he can't hear me and there's "almost" no internet connection as it's very slow and unstable although the phone has all 3g/4g bands used in my country. Please help

Samsung A50 Wifi Calling not working!

Hello,
I'm facing a problem with wifi calling on my Samsung Galaxy A50. Although the service is enabled by Vodafone and the wifi calling switch is on, I see no wifi calling icon on the status bar. Moreover whenever someone calls me while the phone is out of 3G/4G signal coverage and the wifi calling switch is on they get a busy tone while when the switch is off they get a message saying that the number is out of reach.
I contacted Vodafone Greece and they said that the line works as expected and it must be a device specific issue. I then contacted Samsung and they said that as I bought my device in the UK I can only use wifi calling with a UK network. They also said it may work if I flash a local rom version.
Has anyone had a similar issue before? Is there any way to make it work as it should?
Thank you!
Do you have this problem only at home or also at other wifi's?
Do you use Google DNS in your Homerouter?

Hey there!
Thank you for taking the time to reply. The problem appeared using any wifi but eventually I managed to solve it today.
I contacted Samsung and they said that in order to use wifi calling in Greece I need a European Rom. Since my phone was bought in the UK, that caused tbe problem. So I flashed the EUR version of the rom and tben used Samkey to change the phone's CSC. After finishing that, flashed again the EUR Rom and wifi calling began to work properly.
So we can consider this issue solved!
Many thanks again for getting back!
