Hello,
I am having a problem with my Xperia S, sometimes I am not able to pickup a Wi-Fi signal that another phone of mine is picking up, I do not know if the problem is that the phone cannot pickup all Wi-Fi Channels. Last time I repaired the phone with Sony only to get it working by unplugging and plugging the router. Today it happened again but this time unplugging didn't solve the problem, did anybody get this problem and came up with a solution?
Latest Stock Rom
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Use a channel that's allowed in your firmware. 4 to 7 are usually a safe bet.

Thanks for the answer, i will try it. What i found strange is that both zte blade and a Samsung Galaxy S was able to pickup the wi-fi I supose each firmware has it's channels specified.
Best regards
Hello everyone,
Let me begin with saying that i've already contacted MIUI support as well as i've searched other MIUI forums for the solution of my problem, wich is really strange to be honest.
I own an original Redmi Note 3 Pro (previously i owned a Redmi Note 3G). I use the largest mobile network operator in my country and he gives all his customers the ability to use other mobile network operators range/connection in roaming for free whenever we like. It doesn't support 4G from different vendors, so it's 3G max. This is important factor later in the story.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The phone was originally shipped with MIUI China Stable ROM wich run fine but as you know it had a lot of crap in it including adds and a lot of wierd chinese apps. But it DIDNT'T cause my any trouble with phonecalls quality.
I used MIflash & download mode to flash the latest MIUI Global Stable ROM, wich in the beginning didnt cause me any problems with phonecall quality.
HOWEVER. After 1 week of using the phone, one of the updates for Global Stable came out. Phone was updated without any problems and it run fine, but i noticed that whenever im talking with someone the quality of the phonecall was lower then ussually.
Then another update came out and it was EVEN WORSE. I thought it's the issue with the ROM itself so i patiently waited to get my permissions for unlocking the device.
I finally got it so i flashed my phone with MIUI China DEV ROM, installed TWRP and installed the latest MIUI available for my country (wich i previously used for over 2 years or RN 3G) wich also includes fixes and optimizations. HOWEVER the problem still occured.
I then started to blame my SIM Card, so i got a new one yesterday, i also did a factory reset just to be sure, DIDN'T HELP.
So to SUM UP:
Issues: Call quality is low in random calls
How does it show: Caller speaks like with a robotic voice, interference, sometimes i don't hear the caller for 2-3 seconds.
ROM STORY:
1. I purchase RN3 Pro. It comes with original china stable ROM. Phonecalls work fine.
2. I install global stable. Phonecalls are fine.
3. I install two updates to global stable - the quality of phonecalls goes down.
4. I unlock bootloader and install custom ROM along with TWRP, same issues.
5. I reflash whole ROM, clean installation, same issues.
6. Yesterday : I get new SIM card, i factory reset my system and get new updates: SAME ISSUES.
Wierd factors:
- sometimes when the problems occurs while on call, i can resolve the issue with just waking up the screen for a couple of seconds..
- problem seems to happen less when WIFI/Data usage are off
- problem seems to happen less when using headphones (Piston V3)
- problem DOESN'T happen AT ALL when i switch to other mobile operator network in roaming! It's only happening in my main mobile operator network! I would use other networks instead of mine but LTE/4G isn't allowed yet while on roaming :/
- this issue happens on both SIM CARD slots, on different SIM CARDS
I tried to reflash China Stable, however it seems that there were too many updates and one of them is causing the problem now on every ROM. There's a few topics on MIUI Official forums about that, there are bug reports about that but i doubt MIUI Devs will notice this.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Link to my MIUI topic: http://en.miui.com/thread-267736-1-1.html
Link to random bug report about this from other user: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=266620&page=1#pid4845168
Kind regards,

hey what happened to your device?
I think my redmi note 3 pro has the same issue, call quality seems to go down where I would lose what the other person is saying for a second or two like the earphone is malfunctioning.
but the speaker works fine and signal is not an issue either
were you able to fix your issue?
I have the same problem with my phone since I remember. I got my phone around 3 weeks ago and flashed the latest Stable and Developer ROMs but the problem still exists. Like mentioned above by my friend, the quality is fine when I change to other operators in 2G, but in 3G and LTE its totally mess. I wish someone recognize this problem and fix this.

so sorry to hear that you have this issue as well
this is just unbelievable.... how can they just ignore such an issue? It's becoming a nuisance to sometimes impossible to use the phone to make or receive calls as I can barely make out what the other person is saying
Is there anyway we can complain about such issues?
Guys I found a workaround for this problem. Although it doesn't solve it completely. By this solution I succeeded making calls with much less noise and problem.
You have to turn the proximity sensor off for calls. It somehow solves the problem for now and make the calls much more understandable. Hope it helps you and get solved completely.
Me also facing same call quality issues

Same here no issues on China stable. Worse on global stable.. try typing *#*#995995#*#* wait 2sec and type *#*#995995#*#*(the same thing)again.. also go to settings installed apps find qti.supersaver open it and force stop these are like temp solution . If this helped please hit the thnx button
Thx for your sharing information but that didn't work dude. The problem still persists.
Guys I got a solution for myself. The problem actually WAS with the signal as I thought contrary. Yes, the 2G network works well because it has more strength with less range so its obviously works better than 3G. Hence, I started searching for a solution to improve the signal I get in my phone. The best thing I found was an app named "Network Signal Speed Booster" which boosts the signal you receive. Whenever I called a phone number after running this app, the call quality was PERFECT. This app actually connects you to the nearest antenna so the result is a better connection to the network provider. Please do this solution yourself and see if it works and notice the others. thx.
Thanks
Behrouz Your solution may work very well for me
I had the same problem
Thanks
My friend has issues with a Redmi Note 3 PRO speaker. He doesn't hear a conversation clearly. The person who he is talking with hears him perfect. Will "Network Signal Speed Booster" app help in this case? Some people says it's a fake program. Any new solutions?
Confirmed, Network Signal Speed Booster helps but temporary. I`ve noticed that it doesn`t matter of the network type,(4g,3g,2g), it happens only while the wifi is on.

Doesn't work on Nougat ROMs like Lineage OS
When the wifi is off everything is fine. But I can't understand what causes the issue.

Whenever I plugin my earphones, I do not see the tiny earphones icon on top and cannot hear any audio from it. It just plays audio from my phone. I can confirm this is a firmware issue as I have installed an app called "SoundAbout" and in that app, I enabled the SoundAbout Service and under "Media audio", I changed the selection to "Wired Headset (with Mic)". After this, I can hear audio from my earphones. However, as soon as I change the Media audio setting back to "Let App Decide", I can no longer listen to audio from the earphones.
This is a workaround but I did not face this issue earlier. I do not want to depend on any third party app for routing the audio through my earphones. Can anyone please advise any troubleshooting steps apart from doing a factory reset/flashing the phone? Thanks!
Model: Redmi Note 3 (Qualcomm Snapdragon)
Android version: 6.0.1 MMB29M
MIUI version: MIUI Global 8.2 | Stable [ 8.2.4.0 (MHOMIDL) ]
I have the same problem as you but with Custom ROMs, there isn't any problem
@mermade, This is my problem too. At first I thought it was hardware issue, but whenever I used a custom ROM, there was no such issue.
So, to tackle this, what I used to do was, I put the earphones into the headphones jack half-inserted for about 4-5secs. Then I would push them in completely and the audio used to be routed through my earphones.
Also I noted that this happened with earphones without mic only. The ones with mic never made this issue.
Earlier, I was having problems with Fingerprint Sensor too. I had FPC one and it just stopped recognising fingerprints. I thought my sensor had become obsolete. But, then again when I flashed custom ROMs it started working great for a while. The thing was, whenever I used to feed my fingerprints into it, it worked great for maybe upto 50 attempts. But, later it always vibrated and never unlocked the phone, nor did allowed to enter new fingerprint.
Another issue was the cellular reception. On miui stable there was no problem at first. Then I made some bad flashing ( that's only what I thought would've happened ), though I never bricked the device itself. I was getting signals on only one of the SIMs. Then flashed the modem partitions and had both the sim slots not working. Had my IMEI swept at times. After a lot of hit-and-trial, I managed to get both of my SIMs working (fp sensor still wasn't working). Now, I could use 4G and 3g networks simultaneously on the sim while earlier the other sim had to be on 2g is the first one was using 4g. I found out that the modem files of miui developer were more stable.
Currently, I'm on MIUI 8 Global Dev 7.5.23, and from the last builds, the fingerprint sensor has started working perfectly. Also the networks are fine. Now, the only problem is that if both sims are using 3g networks, then it always show the signal strengths on both networks exactly same. The signal strength bars change together. But that doesn't create any problem in usage.
The only problem with miui dev is that the performance, heating, charging rate and battery life keeps on fluctuating significantly with every weekly update. This 7.5.23 seems pretty good but sot is around 6hrs only.

Thanks for the detailed reply Not sure what changed but when I connect the earphones now, my phone detects it. I tried it like three times and it detected it all three times. I guess this is a temporary issue and is triggered by some apps/settings. I will continue to monitor for any changes. I am not having other hardware issues like fingerprint sensor/any SIM/network issues so don't really want to take the risk of bricking the phone by flashing/rooting. Thanks!
Same problem with my phone too.I don't want the third party app.I tried everything but nothing seems to help.Please help me.
As @sasukay said, push it half way in for couple of seconds and the earphones will start working normally. This was later fixed for me in later Xiaomi.eu ROM's, and never happend in other custom roms like LOS or RR.
I have the exact same problems as the starter of this thread. Unfortunately none of the answers work as a solution for me on my Redmi 5 Plus. Why haven't Xiaomi fixed this?
I've had this issue twice, and upon researching for it in XDA the solution that worked for me is to just simply plug and unplug an earphone numerous times until it finally works properly. This seems to be related/similar to the solution recommended by sasukay.
This solution also works for the issue the other way around, when the phone perpetually detects an earphone when there is none.

Thanks a lot brother. You are a lifesaver. Researched and tried many processes none of them worked. But your one solved the problem within seconds. May god bless you.
Moto Z has never had a "fantastic" wifi connectivity (with some issues with dhcp too, see my thread about it...), but anyway it worked... since some weeks ago!
Then, without any change in sw (I'm still on MM, rooted and with Xposed), it begins to be unable to connect to quite any 2.4 GHz wifi available (5 GHz connectivity seems to be unaffected) :crying:
It finds networks, then, if I ask to connect them (even on open and not encrypted and not mac filtered wifi networks) it will try to connect for a second, then it returns to "saved" state. After some trying it goes in "error connecting network" status.
Obviously ALL my other android devices connect fine in same conditions and even my Moto Z connected fine before the issue came out.
Only in isolated places with a SINGLE wifi SOMETIMES is able to connect... but I am talking of distances of 2-3 meters from router, not more....
I've already tried to "forget" all networks, to restore wifi defaults, to clear cache & dalvik and tried some "wifi repairing apps" too, with no results. On Lenovo forum I saw some had the same issue and even a factory reset didn'the solve for them.
I think even BT is having same issue, but I'm not sure... (I don't use it a lot....).
Any idea? Others with same issue?
@erfanoabdi no idea about this?
I also Have the same problem. and my request to Lenovo please solve this issue as soon as possible.

I begin to think that it's a hardware issue, since even bluetooth seems to be affected as well.
Weird is that networks are anyway detected and with regular dB levels too...
One user on Lenovo forum reported that this began for him when he had the memory of the phone full over 90% and for me it has about been the same bit I think this could be only a coincidence...

Hi, i had this problem too and I think its definitely a hardware issue. I think Lenovo just has some quality assurance issues in the production and you and i just had the luck of getting a defective unit.
I'm really happy that i still had warranty when that happened. The main board on mine was switched, so i guess its not even an wifi/bluetooth antenna issue.

But what channel are you on? From what I've gathered it's only retapac right now.
No more having this?
Mine (just before been destroyed by assistance center trying to change battery... ) had begun to not be able to connect (if not sometimes...) on 5 GHz networks too... it definitely seems an hardware issue...
i have the same problem, no wifi and bluetooth. Anybody tried flashing modem?
Losing connection happens mostly when connected to 5GHz, can't find a way to force connection to 2.4GHz.
I need to tell you my short story with the Redmi Note 9S.
I bought the phone at the beginning of may, my first Xiaomi with MIUI (my former phone is also a Xiaomi, but a Mi A1 with Android One) The first two weeks was working OK. I even red some reports about wifi and screen shadows bugs, but my phone didn't show these issues. I was very satisfied with the camera, the speed, and the amazing battery life.
However, around 20th of May it started with wifi disconnections with the screen off, almost every time that screen went off, the connection stopped. I assumed this bug was normal in a recently released device, and that it was going to be solved on the next software update.
Also, one of my smartphone main use is listening to music, through Bluetooth because I have the excellent Sony 1000XM3 headphones. Sadly, I discovered that my headphones, that sounded so good paired with my former Mi A1, sounded very very low with my brand new Redmi Note 9S. At full volume at the phone it sounded low with lack of punch and liveliness. Also, I was surprised that my dad's Redmi Note 8 showed the same behavior when I connected my headphones. So, I suspect from MIUI implementation.
The end of May came and so the first software update to my RN9S. I upgraded quickly thinking that the wifi bug was fixed, and the first days that was my impression. However, around the 8th of June it started again with the random disconnections -less than before, I need to say-.
Also, the Bluetooth bug wasn't fixed, even having informed Xiaomi about it, on official forums and through the feedback app. They requested me to send a logcat, with no further response.
Last weekend I installed the latest update, 11.0.9.0 QJWMIXM, hoping that, after two updates, the bugs was finally fixed. But no, there is no fix at all. Also, on official forums team members are saying that this update will be the last until MIUI 12, probably out in July.
Due to COVID pandemic, I'm working from home, using Whatsapp Desktop to communicate with my workmates. As you may know, WD need to have the phone permanently connected. But with this annoying bug, WD doesn't work, and I received the messages late.
So, frustrated with bad Xiaomi support, and problems with brand new device, I ended selling it, and now I'm going to buy a new, non Xiaomi phone. Luckily I still have my old Mi A1 as a backup, no MIUI of course.
I DON'T RECOMMEND TO BUY THIS DEVICE NOW, UNTIL ALL BUGS WILL BE FIXED.
Hope my short story serves as a warning to buyers, and a wake up call to Xiaomi. Care about your phones and your customers.
my experience, dont touch a Xiaomi phone unless its been out in the market for atleast 6 months.

A very good point. I also feel that I bought this phone too early, and we are all sat here wondering if the major bugs on our phones are going to be fixed. I won't be too hasty next time, I'll probably purchase something else too.
I am very happy with my purchase.
Consider installing a custom rom. I have not noticed any bugs + much more useful than MIUI: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/rom-evolution-x-ganja-curtana-t4094495

That's what my plan is, I love the phone but very disappointed with stock support. What amazes me is that the custom Rom devs can produce a custom build without the bugs, yet Xaiomi don't see these major bugs as a priority.
I really want to flash Evo X, but I want to make sure I do it right. At the moment I am reading about bootloops with some people that have tried it.
Sorry if this is off topic here but what were your exact steps flashing the Evo x ROM. Just bullet points will be fine.
I'm rooted with Magisk. I just need to be rid of these bugs once and for all.
First of all a disclaimer, the source code for TWRP for Note 9S has not been published. It may contain some malware or anything else. I am not responsible for any damage. I just tell what I did and it worked for me. Might not work for you.
PC is required to do the following:
" unlock bootloader
* update to MIUI v11.0.7, I got a fixable bootloop on other version (search MI forums or similar for the files. Update from system menu did not work for me)
* turn off phone
* enter fastboot with volume down + power
* install TWRP (search MI forums)
* copy Evolution X install file to SD card
* follow the instructions in Evolution X thread
The problem is that Miui Global is a terrible operating system, really horrible. Don't expect improvements with Miui_12.
Or wait for roms based on Pure Android (AOSP / LOS) or if you want to keep Miui raisins for rom Xiaomi.eu

I have had my Redmi Note 9S since mid-May. No issues like that all for me thus far.
No problem like the one you describe.
The sound is great. If it was low for you (as it was for me when i first connected my earphones) you must use both the phone and earphones volume slider to increase the sound.

I could not finished up the epistle you wrote describing the issues you have experienced, but i'll say in my opinion that you are still new to MIUI, being an old miui user, there a settings that make the phone disconnects network connectivity either WiFi or Mobile data in other to save battery, Check settings- battery performance - and play around the options there. Cheers
Well yeah, but the wifi bug definitely EXISTS.
Read through the different boards and you will see how many users noticed the same behavior on their devices.
That's NOT a wrong setting that you simply can switch in the energy save settings of the phone.
And Xiaomi knows about this bug and they tried to give a fix in the latest firmware update, but for many it's more a "dirty workaround", cause wifi is still disconnecting after few minutes in idle, but reconnects after a few seconds in most cases. Its a dirty workaround, cause the constantly reconnecting all few minutes is draining battery unnecessarily and doesn't always work.
(Would be nice not to quote such a long post...its a bit annoying to scroll all the time to come to the new post itself ?)

Source your quotes. Where are you seeing that this is a common thing. This is the first I've read of it on 2 forums. I was also going to suggest the wifi to mobile handover setting as that has plagued me in the past because of my bad wifi.
Lol...are you kidding me?!?
You don't have to go far...a closer look HERE on XDA and you'll find the first thread with over 200 posts so far...!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...omi-redmi-note-9s-wifi-stops-leaving-t4085213
And by the way, even Xiaomi themselves have posted that the update to MIUI 12 will "Adress the wifi issue"...
My short story with the 9S:
I did order the 9S 4/64GB with Gshopper on aliexpress, shipped from the Czech Rep.
It was really shipped from Germany (JKGC in Buchholz).
Now the trouble started:
- MIUI 11.0.7 Inserted SIM - data works, outgoing calls all go to "Emergency Number"
- unlocked BL and installed TWRP and crDroid - still data works, but all calls go directly to 112/911...
- flashed with MIUI the fastboot MIUI 11.0.9 - still the same...
- unlocked BL again and flashed TWRP and MIUI 1.0.3 EEC - still no call other than "Emergency Number"...
- Flashed Evo X - still no call other than "Emergency Number".
In Settings/Apps and../Phone the check box is ticked, so unfortunately this was not the problem.
Gshopper denies Warranty, only agrees to refund if I pay for return shipping and says I can buy a "new" 9S. Even that they sold a faulty product shipped from the EU(CZ) to EU(IRL)...
EDIT: found a partial fix, see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83114093&postcount=2
I just got this phone and am pleased with the hardware and performance coming from a Zenfone Max Pro M1 but it does seem a bit buggy (random app freezes a couple times, and some games like Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 refuse to start). Hopefully these get patched quickly but I will probably use a custom ROM once updates cease.
Is the WiFi bug a problem in every phone or just some of them?
If it's just say 10% of phones then I don't mind taking my chances.
If it's every phone then it's not worth it.

Well, I guess you can have the problem with every device of this model.
It more depends on the combination of the device and the router you are using.
Most of the users facing problems are using a fritzbox router as far as I know.
I'm using a router from vodafone for example, and have no bigger problems with wifi on my phone.

I use a "Vodafone" router too, a Huawei HG556a and openWRT. No problems to use the hotspot and "relay" the Inet to my home network.
In my case I had to downgrade to 11.0.7 first and then install crDroid. After that WiFi and hotspot worked, which it didn't with 11.0.9 as base. I tried LOS from telegram and that worked well from 11.0.9 as base.
