Bluetooth stop working after 4-5 hrs, weekly eu rom's

Very frustrated issue. I have Mi Band bracelet with enabled unlock and notifications features. For half a day all good - unlock and notifications working. After couple of hours, unlock icon in status bar is become gray, and these features stop working. Mi Fit app can't find band. Only one solution - force disable/enable bluetooth manually. After that - all good for next hours, and later all over again.

Have the same problem:crying:
I did a full wipe and reflashed the xiaomi.eu weekly rom. So far this seems to have fixed my Bluetooth issue

Hi, same issue here.
Bluetooth is very patchy and I was previously on the SMIUI ROM, now flashed to CM 12.1 and the bluetooth bug is still there.
I wonder if it's a hardware issue?
It is not a hardware issue. It is a ROM issue. Some ROMs (e.g.. MR-7.2.3.0) don't have this problem.
I'm also having this problem (but with my Pebble Time) I've understood a baseband update does not help. Or do people here have other experiences?
I see doing a full wipe of the Xiamoi.eu rom. Does this solve the problem?
Thanks for your help
No solutions for now. Developers know about it, but no fix for miui 7. Maybe for miui 8 in next month.

MIUI 8 Global ROM | GPS problem after update.

Previously with miui 7, Pokémon go is playable inside mall, any building, gps able to detect.
Now, with miui 8 , even gps apps like gps test, gps fix cannot detect gps signal in mall, building.
Kindly advise how to fix this gps issue.
Same problem on MIUI 8 China Developer ROM
I have the exact same issue. Would want to add on that the gps ( if present) has very poor refresh rate. So the pointer jumps instead of following smoothly >.<

GPS stuck on 'searching for GPS'

My phone is unable to search for gps and I don't know why..
Can some one help?
PS Iam using SD variant (4gb ram) with global beta rom(7.5.11)
Same here, do you fix it?
Global stable nougat rom i.e., MIUI 8.5.4 also has the same issue. GPS is not working properly. It also shows different locations than we actually are. It takes time to show correct location. My device takes around 3-4 minutes. It might probably get fixed in the next update.
idem: GPS no found with redmi 7A

MiUI wifi symbol confusing when there is no internet connection !! Plz help

I have just got a new Redmi note 4. Trying to test basic functionalities. Using Miui for the first time.
Currently there is some problem in my wifi connection. Happens sometimes from isp end.
In stock or lineage the wifi symbol clearly shows an excalamation mark or a small cross mark on/beside the wifi symbol which suggests "connected but no internet access" which is correct and gives me a clear indication that connectivity is down now. See attached screenshot.
But on RN4 on MiUI, I don't see any such symbol. The wifi symbol simply shows as connected but obviously there is no connectivity now so it is confusing. Is it how miui is or is there some setting which will enable such feature.
This in my opinion is a very basic feature and miui seems to be missing it!!
Posting from moto g so cant share the miui screenshot but it shows simply connected on rn4
In the wifi menu also, moto g is clearly showing "connected, no internet" but RN4 is simply showing connected
Very disappointed so far. Both speaker and headphone music output of my moto g 1st gen is far far better than redmi note 4. No quality in RN4. Hyped device!!
I got Mi-Globe rom with Dolby Atmos installed and I think it's very nice sound quality with that. Maybe try that?
Try the Mi-Globe ROM with Viper and Dolby. It's the deodexed and debloated version of MIUI tuned to near perfection. You can find these tuning options in the expert sections of the download page.
Any idea on my main query in the opening post?
bump !! anyone on the wifi symbol issue mentioned in OP?

You are correct, hadn't thought about it before.
Failover from wifi to mobil data is not working.
This is the same on my Redmi Note 4 3/32 sd global version running MIUI 9 Global beta, and on my Mi Max running MIUI 8 Global Stable.
So this is a basic fault/bug in MIUI, should be reported. How one does that, no idea just now . . .
So we are in MiUI 9 and since 9 generations of this OS (or whatever) noone has noticed, reported or fixed this bug? I don't believe it.
This is just a small example why heavily bloated skins line MiUI are not good. This is such a basic feature and I can't imagine myself living with MiUI as my daily driver.
There are tons of custom roms for Redmi Note 4 but still all have some bugs (Volte signal fluctuation, low volume on speaker etc)
Sold the recently bought RN4 on OLX. Not satisfied with overall quality.
Also, speaker grill position and touch capacitive buttons placement was not comfortable to me.
Holding in one hand, the thumb can't reach the capacitive button on other end.
Also, the hand often covers the speaker grill.
One can simply reproduce / test the defect mention in OP by disconnecting LAN cable from Wifi Router and having the phone connected to that wifi network.
This functionality is missing yet from MIUI.

This is not a big issue in RN4 SD but yes, this feature is still missing from MIUI. Whenever you will connect with your Wi-Fi then the wifi symbol will appear but it will not show any symbol for no internet connection. Even the roaming symbol does not appear in my own RN4 SD. I hope that this will be fixed soon by MIUI developer team. If no internet connection symbol is a must have thing in your device then i suggest you to flash lineage os or any other custom ROM. But be careful. download custom ROM only from official sources. Custom ROM from unofficial sources may effect your phone performance and your privacy.
This is not a big problem for me, just a little irritating.
I did a bug report on it, we shall see.
China is on holiday.
I do get the roaming symbol, no problem there.
VoLTE works in my Mi Max with Telia in Sweden, began working this fall after Telia implemented it.
I only have a prepaid sim card in the Redmi Note 4, so Telia does not give it VoLTE.
Generally I'm quite happy with MIUI and the Xiaomii phones.

Poor gps after root, flash and stock rom

I just noticed this with my note 3 magma note 8 rom and checked with another old phone (galaxy s2) which I have installed cm then installed stock touchwiz back. The GPS cannot lock on to the phone even with GPS apps, clear agps and downloading satellite data. It can see the satellites, but not lock on. For normal use like giving general location, it is fine. But when you navigate with waze or Google maps, it only shows an approximate location. Or do old phones are removed from GPS tracking system to make way for newer devices?
Anyone else noticed this before?
Ask the developer of the rom or check his thread if anyone else is facing the same issue.
