Hello, Everyone.
I'm a Xiaomi Redmi 9T owner, and since I got that phone, I've been having some problems with it. The worst problem I've got is with the Wi-Fi. After installing some Google security updates, the signal has gotten worse and in order to use Wi-Fi without problems, I have to sit near the router, which is not practical at all. I'd like to know if anyone had faced this problem before, and how to fix it. I've been wandering if installing a custom ROM would fix this problem and/or remove any ads on the phone, which is an annoying feature on Xiaomi phones. I'm new to this, and I've never installed a custom ROM on any my phones before. I've searched open-source operating systems on the internet and I've been wandering if I could install them on my Redmi 9t. Thanks.

Hello everybody,
got this mobile a few months ago, latest Android officially available release, only thing I did was rooting and adding some software, I use it as a second device mostly to check email and online services, I use my other smartphone as a phone and for calendars, phonebook and notes.
I noticed that the device all of a sudden restarts without me doing anything, my son (who uses Android since longer than me but who doesn't really know much about it...) said it could be the heat (it's always in the shade) or too many options on (wi-fi in primis) but I checked and there are just a few apps running (mail, phone, phonebook, sometimes Instagram), what can I check to find how does it restart without any notice or action from me?
Thank you

I had an issue where my Note 2 would randomly reboot, I also had an issue where my power button was dodgy.
What it ended up being was the ribbon for the power button, got this replaced, and this fixed my dodgy power button issue, as well as the random reboots.
I paid to get this done in a shop, but it seems you can do this yourself.
Sorry i can't post links - hope this makes sense

Of course, your problem might be different

Dear Giuann
What you are experiencing is know as SOD (silence of death) on our Android World
If your phone is rooted and you have custom Kernel then it would be due to the kernel... change your kernel to stock or a more stable one as per your device.
If you have a stock kernel... then clean your cache.. etc.. or better reflash stock ROM...
alternately use Betterbattary stats to identify if you have any rogue application which is causing issues...
I have experience this issue when I did rooting.. re root it with the correct method....
I did only root it as to install software I download from the internet, everything is as it originally was, ROM is the stock one.
Which are the steps to perform to clean the cache and to check if some app is making the OS crash?
Thank you
Hello,
I just bought a mi6 and I have a serious problem.
The "sharing" option is not working.
I click on share, pick the desired app and nothing happens. I've seen this issue on my old redmi note 3 also, but since I didn't use miui on it I never got to solve it.
Also I didn't find anything on Google.
Do you know how to fix it?
Solution: run in background permissions were disabled.

Hi there, this is a cry for help post, since I am going insane trying to solve the Bluetooth connectivity issues between my Mi 5s and my car Bluetooth.
Info:
My phone is a Xiaomi Mi 5s, with unlocked bootloader and a Lineage 15.1 ROM with Gapps and the latest baseband firmware. (8.11.8)
The car system is a Renault Media Nav
The problem:
About 2 months ago my phone started having Bluetooth connection problems to my car without any apparent reason. To be more precise the phone pairs and connects to the multimedia system normally, (even displaying the phone battery and signal status), but there is no sound when playing music or when making calls. Moreover the car's interface fails to synchronize the contacts list, the call log and cannot initiate calls when dialing a number.
To save you the trouble I will numerate the actions I have taken to unsuccessfully solve or at least pinpoint what is causing the problem:
-I have deleted and re-paired both devices on both ends, countless times.
-Tried tweaking Bluetooth developer settings regarding AVCRP versions and sbc/aac codecs.
-I have paired the car with various other phones (Galaxy S4, Huawei P9, LG..) without any issues EXCEPT Xiaomi phones! (Mi 5s, Mi 8, Mi A2 lite)
-My Mi 5s (and Mi 8 and Mi A2 lite) connect to my Sony Bluetooth headset without any problem.
-I deleted WiFi/Bluetooth settings and Bluetooth Midi service Data
-Booted intro safe mode to rule out third party apps
-performed countless factory resets and Full wipes
-Tried different ROMs such as AEX, Pixel experience and MIUI latest Global Developer Rom
-The only circumstances under which the phone-car connection worked flawlessly was AFTER a fresh installation of Lineage os but BEFORE the "Last setup steps" was completed where I think that it updates to the latest Google play services. (Specifically from Play store version 12.1 to 12.7)
-It also worked fine when installing Lineage os WITHOUT Gapps!
Conclusion:
So it looks like the Google Play services update is causing the problem, which explains why the problem appeared our of the blue.
It also seems to affect all the Xiaomi phones I have tried!
Any thoughts? Anyone please?
Update: I managed to narrow down to the fact that everything is working fine until Google play services version 11.7. After the update is completed with the latest 14.7.99 the problem reappears imediately.
If it's Google play services it can only be some sort of security issue. Look in the changelog and see if they say anything about BT permissions etc.

Hi there, thank you for your reply!
I can't be sure it's Google Services, it just seems to be the only logical explanation I came up with, by ruling out everything else I could think of, with the actions I described.
It also seems to affect at least 2 more xiaomi models (Mi 8, and Mi A2 lite) which is quite weird isn't it? Is it possible that a Google Services bug affects various Xiaomi models of different hardware, and ROM? (Linage, MIUI, Android One)
Sorry if this a noob question, but do you mean the Google play services changelog? Because I wasn't able to find one online.
Hi,
So, I just got my S20 5G from Google Fi a week ago or so. I've been noticing that it suffers from little to no connections at times when connected to WiFi. No issue when on mobile data. I did online search and saw someone saying if I change the randomized Mac to Phone Mac, it would fix the issue, but it didn't work for me. I see numerous reports of similar issues on S20 series on the net:

I'd like to know if any of you have faced this issue and if you found a working solution. Some say it's a software issue related to OS update, but some say it's hardware. I want to avoid having to send this phone in or to replace if it's an OS issue since that won't do anything until Samsung releases a fix. But, if it's a hardware issue, then I should. I'd love it if I can get some data points from other people's experience with this issue.

Thank you for sharing your experience. If you come across any possible fix, please share. I'll do that same.
As a possible fix, do this. First check the setup of the Router. You can not use Mac address filtering since the mac address is changing r Randomizing your Mac and the router can no longer depend on a fixed Mac. Second as one of the Randomizing Mac settings where you set up the SSID on the phone set to "Use Device Mac" and be sure no other settings like in developers settings is turn on for Randomization. I'm finding setting it this way and filtering Mac addresses lives together but only for the session be that one-hour or days you phone is connected to the router. This is usually only a problem when you are filtering with router access list or setting a device's mac address to a Specific IP in the router.
Apparently, weirdly this phone comes with no always on display OOTB.
Some Xiaomi phones are like that.
This is a serious con for me. I ordered it before knowing this, but it's not big enough an issue to cancel or pay 100€ more for Pro.
Is there a way to somehow enable this?
Does Xiaomi EU have this usually on phones that don't have it in stock MIUI?
I don't have this device but according to this link, there is.
Xiaomi Eu rom adds 'always' option.

At Redmi Note 10 pro there was the same problem. But it was fixable by downgrading the com.miui.aod App. I have already tried over 10 different versions, but without success.
You mean you have tried 10 different versions of that app on this phone?
Have you tried disabling miui optimizations in the developer settings?
Apparently this also worked on some xiaomi devices.
People say doing that causes bugs but I had it disabled for the last 4 years and have not noticed anything except slow (but still working) Gmail attachments (yes, it's weird but those are connected, somehow).
