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.

Hi,
as some people may not be sure before switching to the beta version released by nubia, it may be a good idea to list the issues that we found with this rom
here are mine (I only use one sim card)
1: UI is slow and even more slow with full brightness (installing another launcher could help)
2: the notification switchs (data) will be ON whereas data is off . Plain mode also turn off data but the switch stay on
3: bluetooth audio is crappy... there are like sound hole every 5 seconds... can't use it correcly in my car
beside that, it did not tell the car what music is playing (there was no issue on CM12 and Mokee 5)
4: once the new system is installed, you can't reinstall directly install your previous backups as the partition is now different..
new CM12/mokee will be released soon to fix this. In the worst case you can still reinstall kitkat with the nubia update tool

I've tried to duplicate the problem in number 1, but have not had problems. I've also read (don't remember where now) on a couple of the Chinese bbs that this seems common. Some people really think the new UI is slow and others do not have problems. I actually think it runs pretty smoothly.
I agree with number 2. Additionally, even though I have vibrate turned off, the phone always vibrates. Unless I have the phone on silent, then there is no vibrating and no sound. I've tried to have vibrate for silent only and it does not work.
I don't use bluetooth, so I cannot confirm number 3.
I partially disagree with point 4 because you can get much of what you had back previously if you used something like Titanium Backup. As I stated in one of my previous posts, I used Titanium backup to backup all apps and data. After that, I copied the folder to my computer. After installing the Nubia beta update, I transferred the folder back to the phone and restored everything without any problems. On the other hand, number 4 is correct. You cannot go back and reinstall a previous TWRP or CWM backup because of the unified storage. In my opinion, this has nothing to do with Nubia as this applies to any phone that upgrades from 4.4 to 5.0/5.1. If a rom says that it is Android L, but does not use unified storage, it is still technically a modified version of 4.4.
A couple of additional points that I don't like:
Cannot modify the actions of the buttons
No theme engine for further UI modifications
No clock widget (I know it's minor, but many people are complaining about this on the Chinese bbs too.)
One thing that is nice is that I had issues with my battery overheating frequently and since I have updated this has not happened at all. Maybe it's just me, but I'm kind of an app junkie. I'm always trying new apps; installing them, uninstalling them and so on. This process seems to be much quicker now. Additionally, I think that the signal has improved. I now have mobile reception in several areas where it was a dead zone previously.
thank you for your long feedback
in fact i prefer using cwm or twrp backups as i change the entire rom, it may be that some settings are not located at the same place so using a tool like titanium that run on the rom itself may not find all settings (but maybe they improved it since i first tried)
Concerning the UI slownes, I used Mokee and Cm12 on this phone and the feeling was a lot smoother
other people confirmed this. Try sliding from one desktop to an other with brightness level at minimum and retry it with maximum brightness you'll notice a visible difference
concerning the existing CM12/Mokee 5 roms, these are indeed Android5. But maybe they didn't change the storage to be 100% compatible with existing nubia partition
oh i also forgot, like in previous nubia rom, the UI has no notification access menu... I don't understand why
this is particulary useful if another device needs to read the notifications like a watch or a band... (but you can access it by installing 3rd party tools)
i'm on Cuocu92's modified Android 5 (he added some stuff like multilang, removed some useless apps and added google apps)
but I will switch back to Mokee or Cm12 as soon as they release a working version... the bluetooth and notification switch issue are two point that force me to switch
I do agree that Mokee and CM12 were a bit smoother. However, even when I change brightness from minimum to maximum I don't seem to notice any drastic change in smoothness. Maybe it's the launcher that you use like we talked about in the other thread. I agree with you on the notification access menu, that's a pain in the a$$. Interesting about the CM12/Mokee; I've read several places that state otherwise, so I'm not sure what to believe. I also agree, I too will switch back to Mokee or CM12. The FIUI rom has also been having some really nice improvements and I may try that if they switch to 5.0. For me the notification, the button customization, and the themes make me want to switch back.
Have to agree that the UI on 5.0 is pretty laggy even when using Nova launcher which is usually butter smooth their is major frame drops. And it especially gets laggy when brightness adjusts its self if set on auto.
Also at some point the home button stopped working for some unknown reason. I had to use the back button to exit apps. I don't know why some guys say that they don't have a theme engine. I have one on my ROM.
All in all I would not recommend someone using this ROM as a daily driver. Stick to 4.4 or any of the CM12, CM12.1 or Mokee versions.
I happen to have 2 Z7 minis with me and they both had the exact same bugs. I had to revert back to CM12.
i went to new CM12.1
but for people who need GPS => CM12.1 has a broken GPS, no signal, not even one satelite got detecte. Even outside with a clear view. Whereas official nubia can fix whitin 10 seconds inside ...

I agree now and finally see what people are talking about. Certain apps have really slowed down. It's apps that I don't use very often, but it's getting to be annoying. Going to give the new CM12 a try.

Can anyone help me? I was trying to flash the new CM12.1 using TWRP and in the middle of it the phone went black. Now I can't turn it back on, can't do anything. Ideas anyone? This sucks. Fortunately, I just did a backup of everything, but now the phone won't even power up. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Yes, I had already upgraded to the official nubia beta.
Edit: The phone still won't turn on, whether it's plugged in or not. However, when I plug it into the computer I can see 5 different partitions of various odd sizes with different aspects of the phone software visible.
Edit 2: So I did a hard reset and was able to get back to TWRP. Next I tried wipe data, cache, dalvik and it did the usual trying to format partitions and it kept failing, saying it couldn't access data. I tried flashing CM12.1 and it gave me the same error, although it said it installed successfully. I also flashed gapps. Now I'm waiting for it to boot up.

I've been on CM12.1 for almost 24 hours now and have not had this problem. GPS was off by default when I installed it and I had to enable it. I've used G-maps and a couple of other apps that need GPS and all of them locked on within a few seconds.

did you tried with gps device only settings ?
because maps use wifi and network localisation to have a position even when gps is not turned on
this really makes me crazy...
I installed gps test and it stay a "no fix"
whereas when i restore my nubia 5.0 OS and tried gps test it fix directly
restoring back the CM12.1 got again no fix :/

You are correct. I had not tried device only - it does not work. This is frustrating. Off to the Chinese forums to see what they say....
Hey guys I'm using the official v3.01 and I have so many bugs and crashes. Worst of all it crashes when I have an incoming call and sometimes the screen goes dark when I get a call and I can't swipe and answer the phone. Is there anyway to go back to KitKat 4.4.4? Can anyone explain the steps?
Initial place holder for lineageOS ported rom.
Ported from Vampirefo Life_Max rom
So far same methods to get camera to run on this rom have not worked.
ROM needs bug testing.
so far.
what works.
1. wifi
2. data.
3. gps.
4. microphone.
5. video playback
6. music streaming
NOT working
1. Camera
2. Bluetooth (when paired to BT video plays too fast and sounds like "chipmonk" also same for music- too fast)
work-around is to use mono-bt app. _-It will force stereo BT to play mono , but sound is at correct speed
3. Initial set-up wizzard will crash if you connect to network during set-up. Just skip wifi. I did it without simcard so cant be certain If cell data has same problem.
Of course the more I know the more I will try to update this.
Requirements:
Need to have bootloader unlocked
Need to have TWRP =>Latest TWRP 3.1.1

For the record, GPS is *not* working for me on this current build. Also, setup completes fine over cellular. I also noticed that I am limited to 4G; not connecting to LTE.

I used the "gps test" app the see gps working, the first time connecting sometimes took about 2 minutes while inside. Also but default I see the fps toggle is off.
As for LTE, I'm thinking it's just an icon thing. Because I did a speed test and I'm getting 64M download which is LTE speed not h+ or 4g like it's showing
For lte try this app.

Looks like it displays "4G" for LTE and "H+" for regular 4G. Also, has anyone attempted encryption on this build?

Fwiw, I tried encryption. It appeared to go through the process normally but when the timer got to 00:00 it stayed there for roughly two hours until I decided something had gone wrong and gave up.

I have never heard of anyone wanting to encrypt a custom rom, I have zero zero desire to do it, but if I was going to do it, I would modify the boot.img to encrypt on boot just like stock roms do.

I successfully got the build up and going on my device.
I didn't see the note about not connecting to wi-fi during set up, but it seemed to work fine.
GPS seems to be working (the GPS test app shows 5 in use and maps has a circle around me).
My SD card isn't recognized and won't format. I can't figure out how to trigger it again to get the exact error message.
Have not put my SIM card in so haven't tested that stuff yet.
Edit: A reboot fixed the SD Card issue
I'm on T-Mobile. LTE is doing something weird. LTE Discovery app reports me being on Band 1 (wut?) while SignalCheck Lite reports band 4 (as it should).
Icon says "4G".
Coming over the hills into work today, my data connection quit when it should've had LTE (maybe a band 12 issue?).
OpenCamera just says "failed to open camera. Is camera in use by another application?".
Bluetooth definitely has weird sound. How do I force it into mono?
Haven't made/received any phone calls. Had to update the T-Mobile APN to do MMS and Wi-fi hotspot.
Edit: successfully received a phone call and everything went well.
Another note: My "network" is just a bunch of numbers. This is displayed under the "Mobile data" icon in the notification shade and in the upper left on the notification bar. (I would expect it to say "T-Mobile" or something.)

There is no working camera on this build.
bluetooth mono is an app you can find on play-store or f-droid
do not know about the network name, but I do know I had once used an exposed exploit app to modify that name to what ever I wanted it say. So not too big of a problem, I think.

Camera: no problem, I saw on some of the other ROMs that it was almost working so I thought I would just report what happens to me.
Bluetooth: Cool, I'll just look for an app.
Network name: I thought Xposed wasn't available for Nougat yet. Am I wrong? I'll look around and see if there's a Magisk Module to do the same thing. Not a big deal.
By the way, thanks for your work, I'm using it as my daily driver for now! (Got tired of waiting for a root solution on ZTE Zmax Pro.)
Hi, can I use this ROM in my phone as daily driver?
@overthc I did for a while but then I switched to lineage 13 because the camera works on 13

I am, but I'm okay with the camera not working.
Only issues I've had:
Bluetooth listening to music or videos is borked. Supposedly, getting a mono-bluetooth app will help but I haven't had luck (my car keeps thinking I'm constantly on a call).
When I'm using Reddit Is Fun, some gifs start playing Google Play Music in the background for some reason (could be a problem with RIF).
Network name is shown as "310260" instead of "T-Mobile".
Camera doesn't work (as noted already)
On the positive column, it's been fast and stable. Haven't had any crashes or other problems. I'm super happy with it!

Thanks @TheBosZ, Do I wanna know if the celular and data signal is stable? How is the battery consumption? and if there is spontaneous reboots?
To install it just flash the rom and gapps?

Thanks @codyalan I ´d used it but was killing my battery.. so I back to stock.
Cellular and data have been fine. There was a hiccup when I was driving into work the other day where I lost signal when I shouldn't have. I'm not sure that Band 12 is working (I'm on T-Mobile) but LTE seems to be working fine on Band 2 and 4.
I haven't noticed any problems with the battery consumption. I've been using it for a week or so and it lasts me all day.
I haven't had a single unexpected reboot. I have rebooted it a couple of times, but only because I was tinkering with Bluetooth and I wanted to make sure I was in a fresh state each time.

I flashed the micro ARM non-64bit version. I wish I would've flashed stock or something higher than micro so I wouldn't have to uninstall "Mail" and "Browser" and whatnot.
Anyone have substratum working yet??
I'm on a pocophone f1 (64gb) running lineage os (android 9) and the latest version of magisk with no problems..... Almost.
I noticed that where I got 4g cell service, I get h+. No 4g (much less lte.)
Instead of saying "oh well" I decided to take to Google and tackle the issue. What I found is that sometimes you need to edit some things in the Mobile Network Options (this was the case on my old phone), well to my dismay I found that clicking on the Mobile Network Options did either of these or both.
-instantly take me back to the main settings screen with a "com.android.phone keeps stopping" message if attempted multiple times,
-stay on the same screen after I click it, the signal strength indicator in the notification bar/status bar will go blank for a couple seconds before redetecting my mobile network provider and go back to its h+ signal.
Please help I don't want to have to reset my phone unless it is the ONLY option, I already reinstalled magisk via twrp, I checked for lineage os updates and restarted my phone several times. I know that the pocophone's cell band works with my provider because I got 4g/lte before I put this custom rom on this.
(I am using Cricket Wireless BTW)
Thanks in advance.
Did you have a resolution that worked? I'm on Cricket in Virginia, US and was curious since I saw how few 4G bands it has.

I had returned to MiUi for a while but after a couple months decided to go back to lineage using the now updated firmware.
I'm still using it and it is working fine, the crashes in the settings were fixed, but I still only get h+ data. I switched preferred networks and in the busiest town near me (Jackson CA) I was able to get a tiny short lived sliver of LTE, before getting no signal at all. So I stuck with H+ because that was the only network I got reception on.
I understand that the pocophone has limited LTE signal in the US, but I used to be able to get 4g on MiUi. I'm planning on upgrading to the Mix 3, but I'd still like to get this resolved for future pocophone users.
Quick Update, I still have my good 'ol poco f1, still with h+ data, but I didnt really notice speed differences from 4g that much, but when I go to folsom, (where I go to college now), I get normal LTE.
I'm switching to a fairly new OS called POSP https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/rom-posp-v3-0-0-alpha-1-beryllium-t3965821 which brings android 10 to the poco f1, will report that later on in a different thread :3

-instantly take me back to the main settings screen with a "com.android.phone keeps stopping" message if attempted multiple times,
-stay on the same screen after I click it, the signal strength indicator in the notification bar/status bar will go blank for a couple seconds before redetecting my mobile network provider and go back to its h+ signal.
Please help I don't want to have to reset my phone unless it is the ONLY option, I already reinstalled magisk via twrp, I checked for lineage os updates and restarted my phone several times. I know that the pocophone's cell band works with my provider because I got 4g/lte before I put this custom rom on this.
(I am using Cricket Wireless BTW)
Thanks in advance.

POCO F1 has modified vendor image! if you are using lineage of 7-8-2019 (before it got reported and development stopped) , that version had its own vendor image making 400mb LOS to 700+mb LOS,
having said that!
you still need to flash firmware , use 9.6.27-9
https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
now lets say you are on that firmware!
modified vendor creates strange Network issues and com.android.xxxx crashing notifications if YOU EVER HAVE/HAD used USB TETHERING on 3g network!
the modifited vendor dumps 3g log stats on /data/system/netstats which makes network configuration faulty and system UI keeps crashing restarting making mobile data also crash and restart
Perminant solution is NONE
temporary solution
1. avoid usb tethering on 3g
2. whenever such happens, put device on AIRPLAIN MODE and DELETE all the files in /data/system/netstats and REBOOT POCO

Hi everyone!
I was using my Poco F1 for a year now. After doing root, install MIUI eu until version 10.3.4, where everything was OK. When updating to 10.3.5, notice after a while that the GPS was not working properly. Sometimes it took too long to take the signal from the satellites, other times I immediately took the signal from the place where I am. The funny thing is that when I move, the GPS signal is almost immediately lost, so it is impossible to use Google Maps in that mode.
- I already tried Waze and the same thing happens
- Try installing 3rd. apps for correct GPS, with almost no result
- the phone has the same old case and has not received any blows
- Updated to MIUI eu 10.3.5 - 10.3.6 - 10.3.7 and the same thing continues
- installed the latest version of Lineage OS and give the same error
- Flash to Stock ROM and the same thing continues ...
what do you think? Will it be hardware failure? I'm about to open and check the antennas but I think it's very strange, since I don't remember hitting it or wetting it...
That looks like hw failure to me. I'd have it checked by service center or local repair shop.
In my case, ever since I updated to MIUI 10.3.5 the gps won't recognize my location correctly, takes longer time to locate. Shows 30-40 meters away from my exact location. Same thing on pixel experience rom. I tried calibrating compass with no success.
Not just Google maps, other apps like Uber and Food delivery apps has same problem.
I would test the reception first. To do this download a program like GPS test from the playstore. Think it is from chartcross or something.
Go outside in an open space and check the SNR values. Normally the values are like between 35 and 40 or some even a bit higher. Also check how many sats it sees and can get a lock on.
Report that first if you can.
if miui's persist file has been updated altered from miui10.3.5 onwards
then redownloading FASTBOOT ROM of miui10.3.4 and unziping then unziping and flashing persist.img in /persist partition will put you back on older persist.img file!
worth trying! but becareful!
persist.img can be flashed using recovery only!
seems to be a very frecuent Hardware failure, it happensa to me exactly the same, sadly I use the gps very much so I had to buy another phone (Mi9 t) lots of folks seem to have the same problem, maybe Pocoafter all made too many sacrifices in order to pack the sd 845 with such a low price, now I´m using the mi9t and the screen is from another world next to poco, also the audio is at least 10x times better, and on my country didn´t have 4g support on poco....now, I´m just waiting for android q to be relized on poco so can use it with desktop mode, but the experience in general with poco was pretty bad
Solved!
Well, it seems that I discovered the error. I was testing the app "GPS test" and note that sometimes it took satellites and sometimes not. I cleared the cache from TWRP and it improved only for a while .... I was missing just doing a downgrade of Miui, before checking the antennas.
What was the real cause? Not long ago I changed from a telephone company to a "virtual" company (outsource the infrastructure) because it was cheaper. The problem arises I think because Constantly performs Roaming. That's all. I placed a SIM with another company (not virtual) and the GPS worked automatically as before ...
My Gosh....you are right....I removed the Sim as it is now on my new phone, and been testing the gps for about an hour and it hasn't lost signal....I didn't change my phone company, so can't understand why it happended, maybe they changed something internally....but yeah....with out sim it's working just fine, I guess changing something on the config may do the trick too

That is precisely the odd thing ... I already tried lots of different configurations, cache cleaning, GPS reset, GPS fix, third-party applications, changing the A-GPS ports and NOTHING really worked for me ...
Until I changed the telephone company.
I don't know how this works to infer so much in GPS operation, but there it is.

Is your Google Location Accuracy enabled and your Location Mode set to High Accuracy?

Yes. Even I set up Google tracking permissions to on.
Install GPS optimizer on Magisk
So i have a clean flashed EU ROM and i randomly lose mobile data connection (4G) for a few seconds and it then comes back. I don't lose the mobile network, but the 4G data sign just vanishes and then comes back again in a flash. This is really annoying especially while playing online games where 1 sec of internet disconnection is the difference between a win and a loss.
I'm on MIUI 11 EU ANDROID 10.

I am using Miui 11.0.4.0, my mobile data totally stop working yesterday. There is 3G, 4G and even Edge signal but no internet. Wipe cache/dalvik and change kernel doesn't work. Ended up I reinstall 11.0.4.0 and it works back again

I too dirty flashed the ROM again and it worked without any problems for sometime and then out of nowhere it started to do this again. I hope it doesn't affect you as well but it looks like it most probably will. :crying:
Might be this will be helpful. What I noticed in Stock Miui 11.0.4 when the wifi calling is ON then I noticed call drops. So I have turned off the wifi calling and using the VOLTE only and everything is fine. I think wifi calling technology is not yet stable enough to use. We need to wait for some more. So you may try this thing. Turn off wifi Calling and set data roaming to always and see if it fix the problem.
Experiencing something similar mobile data is gone

I did that on the first boot but to no Vail. Currently I downloaded the latest vendor from akhilnarang's website to see if it is a vendor problem. Everything I tried before has done nothing.

Are you on EU version like me or the stock global ?
I received the update last week on stock rom in EU. Since then severe problems with mobile data, it only works in cities where 4G+ is available. 4G, 3G and E don't work at all or only rarely.
Does someone have a solution to that? BTW also my camera is broken since the update. After every picture it says "processing HDR+" forever (even showing a notification for that that never disappears). My proximity sensor also has some problems... Never change a running system I guess.

There doesn't seem to be any fix (none that I know of until now). Till now I tried reflashing the ROM, installing the akhilnarang vendor and now I'm testing LTE band locking using network signal guru.
It might just be a placebo effect, but I think flashing the vendor somewhat reduced the problems with mobile data. You should give it a try and give feedback here.
Is it possible to downgrade again by a dirty flash?

I wouldn't recommend dirty flashing Android 9 ROMs over 10. Yo should clean flash.

Well great now I noticed I cannot even connect my phone to the computer, because it says "failed to get information from usb device" in the device manager. Tried installing and uninstallting several ADB drivers and the MI Pc Suite but nothing fixes the problem. Guess I can throw the phone out of the window now.
BTW: Is there no ****ing official website with usb drivers? All I get are websites like "xiaomidriverdownload.com" or "androidusbdrivers.com" or "flashxiaomi.com" wtf is this.

Check the "bootloader unlock" thread. It has links to all the drivers/ utilities you'll need

And one question, do you use any VPN ?
Disable "Xiaomi Framework Service"
Same issue for me on a Xiaomi Mi9 Lite with xiaomi.eu rom.
After lots of workarounds tried I finally discovered the cause : "Xiaomi Service Framework".
It's a system app that resets mobile data connection when it detects or thinks there's no internet connection.
I use an intranet apn to connect to my company network, so my phone is not connected to internet when the apn is active and it was really annoying to have those data connection drops.
As I'm not using any Xiaomi Service (mi cloud and others) and my phone is rooted, the solution for me was to disable the app and problem solved!
Good luck

Hi there!
İve stumbled upon you post. Right now i have xiaomi Mi 9 with stock MİUİ 12.0.3
Since this update İ notice Losing mobile data connection randomly.
i randomly lose mobile data connection (4G) for a few seconds and it then comes back. the 4G data sign along antenna sign just vanishes (greys out) and then comes back again in a second.
İ suppose its very similar to your case. İts getting very frustrating
Have you by any chance got any workaround ?
