GPS drops - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm latest stable miui eu.
Since some weekly releases , I've go GPS drop so I flash latest stable back. And drops still present. I have to quit the GPS app or turn on/off the GPS... The drops are random and are sometimes very long.
Do you have the same issue or is it a hardware failure? I use my phone everyday with Waze or maps to travel for work and it is very disturbing for me
Thanks a lot xda guys!!

(HELP) Very Poor battery Standby Time on Redmi Note 3 Kenzo....

Hi there. I've Redmi Note 3 Kenzo for a month now. I've problem with my phone battery backup. It have very poor standby time. Even when I'm not using my phone it continuously looses 2/3 percent of battery per hour i.e around 40-50 % in a day . I usually turn off data, wifi , GPS etc after using even though its the same. I tried MIUI 8 Global as well as Chinese (Both stable and Beta version), even downgraded to MIUI 7 on various version, used eu.xiaomi ROM, MultiROM etc but still there is same problem. In some custom ROMS like CM 13 and RR Remix there is a bit improvement in standby time but not as it must be in 4100 mah battery. As I like using MIUI than custom ROM so my problem is still there. I am tired of flashing various ROM every now and than. Does anyone facing same problem. Can anyone help me and suggest some ways of solving this problem. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hope someone will Help. Please................

+1,
i am too tired of flashing this and that ROM,but battery is too horrible for me ,mostly with miui ,I get only 5-6 h sots with miui,
however my experience with nougat cm is quiet satisfactory ,it gives at least a reasonable sot,if u find something pleaaase pm me too.
It's most likely an app that is causing this. Are you able to see if the phone is going into deep sleep?

I tried Wake Lock Detector but couldn't find any app causing the problem. I even tried Greenify and Amplify app but no improvement. It seems its Problem In MIUI Rom cause using custom ROM i get a bit improvement in standby battery life. Any suggestion can you give like Which version of MIUI Rom is better for battery life.
Is there anyone who can help? Please.....
I'm currently on xiaomi.eu rom 6.11.3 (since it is the only one that allows for use of custom kernels with goodix at this time) and I get what I feel is good battery life. You could try this ROM if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for your reply. But i already tried that Rom. And yes i have officially unlocked bootloader. I usually get satisfactory SOT but my only problem is standby time. Battery is decreasing constantly even without using my phone. Currently using RR Remix Rom and getting a bit satisfactory result but i really like MIUI so I'm looking for a fix. Thanks again.

Use nitrogen os...its the best for battery backup or if u want amdroid 6.0 use exodus...
Use stock kernel with nitrogen os and use radon with exodus

GPS issues on note 4 global - fix?

I got my international note 4 last week, it had latest Miui on global stable ROM.
I use runkeeper for running but the accuracy is way off.
I have downloaded apps to test GPS and it gets satellite locks quickly. But constant use with runkeeper leads to very inaccurate readings.
My vernee Thor didn't have this issue.
Could Miui be aggressively stopping the GPS? Any ideas?
After a bit more research i think i know why, it could be the battery saver restricting the GPS when the screen is off, so I've turned it off so that there are no restrictions for runkeeper.
Hopefully that will do the trick, will test on my next run ?
Wow, didn't see this thread before a recent post of my own! - yes I know I should have searched etc.
I just got back from a bike ride using a Runtastic app and the results were all over the place... did your solution work out for you?
Thanks.
there's a bug on miui 8 based on nougat that GPS doesn't lock anymore if not completely outside and I can't find a fix!
I am having the same problem after updating to MIUI Global 8.5 (no custom ROM).
Before that it worked perfectly.

If it really happens in every ROM then the battery drain is caused by some App you are using.
You also got a very bad mobile network signal. Try flashing Citrus CAF or even better xiaomi.eu stable ROM to improve your signal

Flash rr remix. There's a setting to turn on 2g when screen is off. Saves a ton of battery. Also, your network signal seems awful.
Did you flash a firmware?

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
My mi 8 lite wifi strenght is not good.when other phones are good in same place .but my phones is weak wifi strength.please share and compare this phone with other phones with wifi analyzer program.and share it.
This phone's WiFi is much much better than my Samsung GS7 ever was. On my 5Ghz wifi, I had one wifi bar in my bedroom with the SGS7.. With this phone, I have four bars. Much love for this phone so far!
Compare to my old Redmi Note 3 SE (Kate) the Mi8 lite is very poor in 4G LTE reception ! Very bad :'(
Wifi is very bad too, in the same place my old phone is better !!!
Materiel problem or software ?

Thanks, I was worried wanna buy this phone and I'm searching for issues like all!
I'm having issues with wifi. It keeps disconnecting and sometimes only connects back when I manually tap the wifi's name in the list. I can't tell if it's from the phone itself or the MIUI 10.3.1.0 Stable, since my phone is one week new and I spend only a few hours with older MIUI version before updating to the latest 10.3.1.0 stable. That's what I'm hopping for, so maybe it's fixed in the next MIUI version.

I have the same problem.
I have a problem with WiFi (mobile data) too .
I have full strength signal but sometimes the device stops getting data. This is so annoying!!! For example, when I'm on Facebook app I start to watch a video and then the video stops buffering and after some refreshes on Facebook app the data comes being downloaded again. This doesn't happens only with Facebook, it happens with everything like Instagram, Google Chrome, etc. I stop automatic synchronization but no result.
Anyone have this issue?

Battery drain and firmware relation?

Hi there!
I love fresh stuff so updates of ROM, kernel and firmware are must have for me. For the better and for the worse. It happened for the worse. I've been waiting a year for stable pie roms to appear that have zero screen wake delay and Syberia was the only room with EAS support. I thought why not. So flashed Syberia Latest in may of 2019 and latest stable, global firmware from xiaomifirmwareupdater. I was very satisfied with Syberia's experience and even more it's kernel performance that I didn't have to flash a custom kernel. I've been using the rom till yesterday for about 3 months and always flashed newer updates of Syberia and opengapps pico. My mido device started to drain battery much faster. Even that much that for example when I wake up at 6:30 am and arrive at work for 8:00 10-20% battery juice is already drained even though all I did was read comics in a simple reader. Tried to solve the issue but after all my mido device is 3 years old. got the conclusion that my battery sadly went broke. Still it was extremely annoying for me that I can't read comics for more than 7 hours during my shift (I'm a seasonal pool warden so I do nothing from 8:00 to 20:00) because my phone's battery dies no matter how I try no to let it. I've had enough so I changed rom and even firmware. Flashed latest China stable firmware which arrived in july and latest Pixel Experience. See wonder now my battery drains way slower and the phone shows me that it can run for 1 day and a bit more from 100% to 0%. I'm so happy and relieved that there isn't anything wrong with my battery.
I want to find out what caused the extreme drain. I really do. Could you guys please help me find the cause? Was it the previous firmware? Syberia updates? The stock kernel? The opengapps packages?
I have a few clues but I hope there are others with more knowledge on battery factors. Thanks a lot in advance.
Maybe kernel and apps usage. You should check the in battery statistics it may mobile network standby.

I used better battery stats all the time and it showed nothing unusual. Not on Syberia, not on PE. Furthermore I used Migrate app so I have every single app on PE that I had on Syberia with exact same settings. Perhaps the high battery drain was caused by one of Syberia's system app? If yes shouldn't I've been able to see it in BBS? If it was caused by an user installed app shouldn't the problem migrate to PE as well with the apps? I still think firmware caused the battery drain but I can't belive something certainly based on my gut.

Perhaps yes. Perhaps no. I use BBS all the time and it never showed me unusual activity on Syberia. Furthermore I used migrate app so I have every single app on PE that I used on Syberia with the exact same settings but there is no bettery drain present. If user installed apps were the cause of battery drain shouldn't the drain migrated with them as well?
I still think it could have been a firmware issue.

I'd like to. I really do but I spent years on Oreo. Loved it but it was so hard for me to get used to Pie and I've waited like for a year for a working Pie rom that didn't had any issues not even screen wake delay. Now that I've migrated to Pie I'm not planning to go back...

Did you ever try to use a bugreport + Battery Historian (Google's own tool) to check what is using your battery? I put together a small article about it on Telegra.ph the other day. Which MIUI ROM's firmware are you using actually at the moment? Some ppl. says that in less LTE covered areas the firmware derived from global stable ROM V9.6.3.0 does a really good job. Did you try to up- or downgrade the firmware? Did you ever try to disable LTE and use 2G/3G preferred or 2G/3G auto mode?

No. I never hear about those tools. All I saw over the web was better battery stats and it was widely recommended. So I used that. I was using 2019/05/16 china firmware while the battery drain was noticeable. Now I'm on 2019/07/19 china firmware and the battery drain is gone. I dunno. Since I didn't find anything about cellular network signals causing the battery drain I didn't experiment with it at all. It's constantly turned on. Like for a year now. I'll try 9.6.3.0 stable firmware and report back how battery drain is.

I would never use the chinese firmwares on a global phone, especially when your are not in China.. I had issues in the past with some chinese firmware versions but never had any with the global ones (here in Hungary we use different carrier technologies than companies in PRC and as far as I know global is optimised differently for a different market, not for China).

I see. Good to know. I've been using chinese firmware for a good while now without issues. But I flashed the adviced 9.6.3.0 global stable now. I'll take your advice and stay away from China firmware. It'd only make sense.
