Redmi Note 3 (SD) Screen Mirroring

Hey guys, did any of u experience a problem with screen mirroring on this device? I'm currently running stock MIUI 8 (global dev) and I'm not able to connect my device to my TV. It worked like a charm with the Redmi Note 2 I had before.
And since there is not a fix for the fingerprint issues on custom roms yet, it's not an option for me to switch roms.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Redmi Note 3 weak wi-fi range

Hey guys,
i've noticed that my Xiaomi doesn't have a good Wi-Fi range. In the same division of my house, I've got no signal on my device, and my girlfriend with his Huawei P8 Lite, got 2 stripes of signal. Is this normal? I've tried MIUI 8 Beta, CM 13 Official and Resurrection Remix ROM's, and all of them got the same signal in the same area.
Thanks

Are you using a case for the phone? If so try removing it some cases can cause issues,
wifi on my device seems ok and will switch to the 2 ghz network if the 5ghz gets weak

I already tried that but the problem persists...
That change is effective?
it should do it automatically, assuming you have a 5 Ghz router, and have the two SSID points named similar and not hidden , the phone should switch to the network with the strongest signal
in your router name the SSID like this (can change router1 to whatever you want, try not to use spaces)
Router1_5Ghz
^5ghz
Router1
^2ghz
since 2 ghz has a longer range then 5 you might get better reception.
Well this thing is making me crazy...I've tried so many different ways and all of them were unsucessfull!
There's some issue with this device...

Redmi Note 3 as a daily driver feasibility: reliable flashing, custom ROM stability?

Hello guys,
I am trying to determine whether or not to buy a Redmi Note 3 to use a daily driver (personal + work usage). I am a bit worried because I'm seeing quite a few threads detailing issues that I've never experienced before flashing other phones, such as the need to use multiple recoveries for different tasks, the possibility that camera/fingerprint hardware are not supported by the ROM due to different vendors, IMEIs getting deleted etc.
This is my shortlist of questions based on whose answers I'll hopefully make a decision:
1) Are flashing issues (deleted IMEI etc.) more common with this phone than others?
2) Are most "serious" (e.g. camera/fingerprint/LTE not working) issues reliably solvable, either with the right custom ROM or by flashing the correct files?
3) If a Redmi Note 3 does NOT support band 20, I can be sure it is not a Kate, correct?
Thank you in advance for the feedback!
Don't wanna deal with bugs? Use MIUI stable channel. Good enough battery life. Good enough stability.
Yep, flashing on RN3 is a lot different from other phones.

Are N ROMs stable these days?

Guys,
So I'll be spending three months abroad, and likely to travel a fair bit for my job in the next few years. I'd like to get myself a dual-sim phone - one sim with my current home phone number, the other for the US sim (or wherever I go). I've been looking at Xiaomi phones for a while now, and the RN3 SnapDragon is the best value, I would think.
My current phone is a Nexus 5X - I bought it because I love stock android. For me, MIUI is an absolute non-starter. (I've also got an HTC One M8, and tried MIUI 7 and 8 on it - can't stand it.) So I'd have to rely on custom ROMs.
Hence my question : Are any of the N ROMs on Kate stable for daily, dual-sim use? I've gotten used to N on my Nexus and would find it hard to go back to MM (but I could if needed). I mostly use my phone as a communications node (calls, texts), as a web browser, and as a music player in my car via BT.
Thanks much!
Camera Bugs and Flashlight are the most popular issues encountered in N ROMs, some apps crashing and like that. So, in my opinion, I'd stick with MM ROMs for now. I'm using the Lineage OS 13.0 ROM as my daily driver.
I'm using Resurrection remix for the last 4 days and since then no reboot was even needed, so it seems stable for me. There are small bugs, like the flashlight bug and disappearing battery information from the statusbar (this may be RR specific bug), but for me it's no big deal.

Pretty much stable for me. The main problem are the incompatible camera HAL driver. But it's not big deal. Just flashlight toogle must pressed 2-3 times for turn on sometimes, and random crash on camera. It can be fixed by flashing google camera from OpenGapps.
Yes, use last cm official nightly. I'm using from 2 months without any issue

Don't flash any custom kernel or anything
OK - so no crashes with Google Camera? Other than that (and the flashlight toggle), pretty stable on CM14.1? (And by CM, I assume you mean Lineage?)
Okay, so BabyTedhu said Google Camera works, so I flashed CM 14.1 with Stock GAPPS (Google Camera replaces Stock AOSP), is it by default that you can't save through SD card? There's no option to save thru SD card.

There's no option to save through sd card. It's set by google.

Try nitrogen os rom. Most stable nougat for now. Camera and fp works fine with stock kernel
Nougat is pretty much stable already, but I would recommend getting a kenzo over a kate so that you can flash custom software easily. Also, it is slightly easier to find accesories for the kenzo.
Ya nitrogen os has no camera bug it is stable 99%. As compared to other Android 7 roms
Using RR nightly, Smooth & rare bugs which mentioned earlier.
Any Other better ROM than this? Nitrogen vs RR ? Which is best ?
Even Slim ROM shows stable build. Any EXP. on this ?
OK, awesome. Good to know. I wasn't tracking Nitrogen OS, thanks to whoever pointed that out. I'm a huge fan of the Slim series in general, really hoping that it'll be good to go on RN3 soon.
Thanks to everyone for the inputs! I was scared for a bit that I'd have to invest in a Mi5 (their Nougat ROMs seemed to be pretty stable, from what I could read), but glad to know I won't have to. This is just for a travel phone anyway, and the RN3 would be fine for that.
Cheers!
Go for Redmi note 3 pro(kenzo) as development for this model is absolutely amazing. Don't go for the (kate) as it's very difficult to mod that device and also can't flash custom ROM easily on it.
But he is getting the kate since he would be travelling a lot. So those extra bands might help him??
Well - my understanding is Kate only has one additional band (20) which wouldn't even be used in the States (where I'd do 60-70% of my travel). The regular Kenzo is still a fair bit better than most traditional Xiaomi phones in terms of LTE band availability. But honestly, LTE band availability is not a big deal to me. Any Xiaomi phone would be fine - I just talk/text, and do light web surfing when I'm using cell data. Most of my heavy lifting happens when I'm home or on a WiFi connection.
AFAIK, you can use Kenzo ROMs with Kate easily. Just flash Kate firmware-update folder.
Oh really?!? That makes a big difference then. But what do you mean : "Just flash Kate firmware-update folder"?

MIUI ROMs contain a folder with firmware for the base band. That's the "firmware-update" folder I'm talking about. There are threads in this forum which provide Kate firmware to replace in Kenzo ROMs.

Redmi Note 4 Wifi Disconnect

This is happend to all rom included stock MIUI and All other avaible in XDA.
Its about Wifi disconnecting and reconecting again.
It happend around 4-5 time per every hour.
Did some one have this problem?
I have Redmi Note 4X 3 Gb Ram SD OV camera.
Im now on Viper OS but it happend ot Halogen, Aosp Extended, ACIP, Legend and almost all rom whit stock MIUI.
U might have a look at your Wifi router.If you still have the question of connecting when you are by the side of the router,it might be hardcore issue.As for me,I didnt see that problem xD.Have a good time in MIUI
Tnx.
But the problem was that happend in diffrent routers.
I am having Asus router at my place and i am using miui stock rom.... I have noticed wifi gets automatically disconnects when not in use i have tried with different setting but the result is same for me.... I thought it is my routers fault but now i am doubting that there is something strage in this device also...

Same issue here, I'm on AOSP extended 7.1.2 and Redmi Note 4

Its Linksys. With my Nexus 6p I didn't have this issue with the same router.
today I wanted to try the "pa_mido-7.3.0-DEV-20170930" and is the only one that has not given me wi-fi disconnection problems. Try and if it works for you, I suggest developers understand what's the difference with all the other builds ....
Is it a dual band router that you have?
I'm facing the same issue on 2 phones Mi A1(Nougat) and Nexus 6p (oreo), I'm doubting the band switching between 2.4Ghz and 5ghz is causing the wifi to disconnect and reconnect immediately at certain intervals.
