I need help with this... - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hi!, I really need help with this:
I have 4 xiaomi phones, redmi note 3, 6 pro, 7, and 8... The xiaomi redmi note 8 have a problem, while Im spoofing and let the spoofing app, all the others phones, with almost the same setup (twrp, magisk, gps josytick, SmaliPatcher),they work fine with my go-tcha (is like a fitness divice to track walk, but is made for the game pokemon go), every phone have one go-tcha. The phones work fine with the screen off, the game pokemon go auto walk fine, adding steps to my phone and some other functions. Redmi Note 8, stop autowlaking with the screen off, and I tried MIUI rom and now HavocOs, and is the same, screen off and bye, no more auto walk. Why this happend? why is not working like my other 3 phones? I use this for 4 months and the redmi note 8, I bought it 1 week ago, I cant find a way to make it work with the screen off. Most off ppl use the device gotcha with the screen off and spoofing app to work while we are bussy or to not waste the battery by keeping the screen on (it work with the game opened or not, it keep working in the home screen with the game in the background), so why it dont work with the screen off?.
The game seems to keep working in the place, not moving, like auto walk stopped by I dont know what, and doing things with out lossing the signal of the fake gps / spoofing.
After talking with the maker of gps joystick, he said:
"Unfortunately I don't know either, my best guess is that the manufacturer of that phone may have implemented more stricter battery saving mode, which turns off GPS when screen is off or something like that"

Android auto

I'm planning to buy this from rn4. Someone says that android auto is faulty. Truth?
On my Seat Ateca I used, without any issue whatsoever, an Asus Zenfone 3 for over an year.
Unfortunately, my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global is a pain in the ...
I have tried tons of different (quality) cables, including the original Xiaomi one.
Tried with developer options, MTP, starting AA before connecting, after connecting, while connecting, opening AA, closing it, sitting, standing, breathing, laughing...
Never found the reason why, once in a lifetime, it decides to work. It took me from 5 mins to 20 to have it running.
A real pain!
Disable dualapps
In my case I could connect with my original cable, no issues, you just need to disable the "dualApps" thingy, but I have other issues.
1- Waze when using the android auto, can look for directions start navigation it even calculates the time and traffic, but the position won't move, on the map, my position is always displayed on the starting point, but I get audio notifications, ODD!
2- Spotify, every time I connect the cell phone to the android auto, I'm getting a screen that says "Update something" and I cannot use Spotify unless I restart the phone (even if it's working fine on the device)
A redmi note 5 new, I used android auto on a Zenfone 3 for a year or so with no issues.
I figure out how to fix these issues, more or less:
1. Be very sure that for spotify and waze, the battery rules are set to allow everything (not automatically optimized). Our phone use to shutdown background applications for battery optimizations (so, no more waze gps location). Same for spotify.
2. Enable for android auto, spotify, whatsapp and waze the automatically launch on start.
hi, I have same problems with my RN5 Global and my Ateca. tried lot of Roms, all of them needs up to 10 minutes to connect. I have tested other phones, S7, A5, no problems. only RN5 have this problems. it seems to have MTP issues in the firmware

"Turn on MIUI Optimizations" - On or Off?

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.

Redmi Note 8T

I have the Redmi Note 8t and having issues with the FM radio reception. The sound goes silent for 2-4 seconds and happens several times every minute. Makes it unusable. Is this a known issue and if so are there any workarounds ? Thanks
I have noticed some pauses on my phone too. I would not say that it is as bad as that, but certainly annoying..

I also posted on the official Xiaomi forum but haven't received any responses. I'm guessing that if no one is raising the issue then either Xiaomi are not aware or not considering it an issue affecting all phones.
The radio is a feature I used extensively on my last Xiaomi phone and is the one downside to an otherwise excellent phone
Just done a quick test on mine again, some stations seem worse than others. Also a lot more background noise /interference.
Nowhere near as good as my older phone was.

Mine is particularly bad on BBC Radio 2 which happens to be my usual ratio station. I have tried enabling and disabling WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data whilst listening but makes no difference. Also just noticed that it starts out "only" a few pauses per minute and gets gradually worse the more I listen. Had forgotten about this as I haven't used this feature in a while. Going to submit another fault request through the service and feedback gesture in the phone.
That's my usual station too. It wasn't too bad but only a 15 minutes test. It was worse on Smooth FM. I usually use FM when out cycling but due to the current situation I've not been out so not used it
To be honest I'm a bit disappointed with the phone... Isn't much better than my previous Moto G6
Please do post if you get any reply from Xiaomi.

Found a workaround on the Xiaomi forums. Can't remember the name of the original user though at the minute but must remember to search and post to give them credit for this fix.
The steps to follow are:
1. Install an app from playstore called Activity Launcher.
2. Modify the app permissions so that it can create a shortcut on the home screen
3. Start the app and search for "FM". You should get result like the output shown in the attachment.
4. Long press on the FM RADIO (com.caf.fmradio.FMRADIO) line and choose create shortcut. This adds a shortcut to the home screen for what appears to be a different FM radio app from the default.
5. Go into the settings and change the regional band setting to "user defined band". Set the channel spacing to 100khz, set Lower freq limit to 76khz and leave the rest of the settings as default.
6. Shutdown the app and restart and hopefully should work. I used it all day today and worked perfectly for me so fingers crossed.

Lenovo z2 plus various issues

So I have been using Lenovo Zuk z2 plus from 2017. The phone worked fine till 2019 with some minor issues which all phones have. But from August 2019, these are following issues I have been facing:-
1. The app switching option which is a basic feature in all mobiles has been not functioning so I can't multitask in this mobile.
2. The quick panel which comes from bottom is not functioning so I have to start WiFi, mobile network, etc options by going to settings.
3. The WhatsApp application stops working after 2am ie it force stops and don't function, I have to start it then it loads messages.
4. All Google apps stopped syncing and don't work eg I cant download any app from playstore, my mails don't come in Gmail app, I can't use Google pay, etc.
5. My phone don't charge after plugging in to charger and I have original charger. After connecting it shows charging and stops and then heats like hell. Sometimes it drains very very very fast and switches off while charging and many times 0% battery shows and phone switches off and then switches on shows 0% battery and then again switches off. This happens many times.
6. My keyboard's 3rd line don't work. When I touch that line, it types upper line or lover spacebar.
7. My phone heats like a oven with using, without using, charging, etc.
I also have minor issues like phone is very slow, volte not working, etc issue.

Since it has been 3 years now, and from point 5 & 7 the most possible cause is your battery is dead and needs replacing..
It usually costs around 2000 rupees to change from authorized service centre.
Point number 1,2 & 6 could be due faulty touch screen.. You can download screen test app from play store to test and check if there are dead spots.. If it is touch screen issue and it needs replacing then it will be another 1000-2000 rupees approx depending if do original or not..
In this situation I would suggest you to go for new phone as there are many options available like redmi note 8 or realme 3 or 5 series which will not cost you more than 10-12000 rupees.. Which is around the same price as of this phone..
If you do get battery and screen replaced under 4000 then for rest issues I would suggest you to flash custom ROM as you would get a much better ui and latest android 10..
This phone is good to go for atleast 2021.. We have been receiving custom ROM from android 6 and hopefully with developer release of android 11 beta 2 already happened we should have android 11 support soon for z2 as well..
point 6 happened to me earlier and yes this is touch issue which can be fixed by electrostatic effect i.e. you can use lighter (for gas burner ignition or the one which can be found in cigarette lighter). Just provide multiple shocks at non touch responsive area, turn screen off, on and problem solved. believe me this trick saved my money also.

Question Help needed for solving miui issues

The Mi Mix Fold is great as a media device, but it is full of bugs, there are many problems with this device:
1). the rom, the software on this phone is china miui and there is no custom rom, meaning you are stuck with whatever china region related miui issues such as: 1). no caller name when someone is calling 2).
keyboard gets switched to china keyboard after every restart 3).
many apps won't work simply because the phone is china or in english, so if you leave somewhere else in the world, apps that support your native language might not work properly, 4).
if you set your region in the phone to somewhere outside of china, you get annoying wifi disconnects that are only fixed when turning off and wifi on 5).
because of the above feature unless you open the apps to check occasionally if you received messages, you will miss out on notifications since they can randomly stop working until you turn wifi off and on again, or enter the app manually (I tried locking the app, setting it to auto start, also turning off battery saving options but it keeps happening and whatsapp for example is a pain to handle since I have to manually open the app to see if I have messages.
if anyone knows how to solve any of the above issues or would like to share their experience about this please post a reply, thanks everyone!
Please make a global rom, request to All developed

Hi. I used to have this problem also with my Xiaomi Fold, and after a long troubleshooting period and reading ur post, found the issue are the towers in US, the 5G signal being inconsistent or weak. I installed the app Connection Stabilizer Booster/google store and since then (1month+), notification delay is 5-10mins maximum, no phone calls missed. Most of times on 4G, was showing 5G prior. Hope helps.

Hey its been so long since I posted this, around December I got the mi 11 ultra again and sold the mix fold at a loss, because it has no market here, but it was the best decision I made, the mix fold dissappointed me everywhere, low refresh rate screens, bad cameras, no wireless charging, very bad software support (still on android 11), the mi 11 ultra fixes all these issues and does more, this mix fold was my first and last foldable phone, horrible device in everyway compared to the mi 11 ultra
Instead of the Mi 11 Ultra, I just bought an Oppo Find N after the inner screen on my Mix Fold broke.
(it had been showing signs of damage i.e. stuck/dead pixels, and then one day I pulled it out my pocket, and the screen was suddenly busted and non-functional)
Anyways, just wanted to say that the 8GB Oppo Find N is overall waay nicer than my 16GB Mix Fold was. This is a PSA.
Also, if anyone is interested in buying a Mix Fold with a busted inner screen, let me know. I'll let you figure out the repair.
