How to change wifi settings??! - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone?
Where are the additional settings in poco f1 where you can keep wifi during sleep always on or only when plugged in or never?

AFAIK Google removed this settings in Oreo. Pity, indeed.

Battery saver killing bluetooth connections (Amazfit watch & VW Connect apps) ??

I have the Xiaomi Amazfit Stratos watch, which worked well with my old Mi A1. However, since getting the Poco F1 notifications to the watch do not work (unless the app is open in the foreground). In addition, the VW Connect app (also a background app that uses GPS and connects automatically) did not pick up any trips made since using pairing with the new phone....
This made me think it was something to do with the MIUI battery saver settings. Since then I have changed the settings on both these apps to 'No restrictions' and it has made a slight improvement (I would say about 50% of the notifications are making it to the phone now). So I am at a bit of a loss now....
You would assume that a smartwatch made by Xiaomi would work seamlessly with a phone of the same manufacturer.... but it seems not!
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

WiFi Drop Out Problems

Hi All I have the Mate 20 Pro and absolutely loving it apart from the below problem.
WiFi keeps dropping out. It's definitely nothing to do with the wireless router as all other devices working perfectly and my previous SAMSUNG S7 never had any issues they only started when I got this new phone.
Unfortunately its causing serious issues for me as I can't get data connection downstairs and rely on WiFi.
I've read others have problems and apparently Hawai cut corners with the WiFi and put a poor quality device inside?
Is there anything that can be done or is this definitely a hardware problem and something I just have to live with I. E. Not being able to use it on WiFi?
It shows full bars on the WiFi status symbol top left but will connect one minute and the next minute can't even load a new page, Facebook comments, or will just pause and start spinning on a video.
Bump!! Same problems! My Galaxy S7 and S8 always worked flawless with notifications and internet connection switching between wifi and 4G. Mate 20 pro drops out. Now also remembering my old Ascend Mate 7 did the same. Huawei problem, but is there a solution?
I have tried various settings in the wireless and developer settings no luck. I cant seem to find the usual android settings to keep wifi on always...
Did you guys check under Settings/Battery/More battery Settings if "Stay connected when device sleeps" is ON?
Pretty stupid to hide it there (Samsung had it in the right place under WiFi settings) but whatever.
My Wifi NEVER disconnects at home or work and I DO get emails even if the app is set to pull every 30 min (so it wakes up properly and pulls data). Plus unlike my old S7Edge, WiFi reported power drain is always below 1%...so negligible.
I've noticed Youtube keeps losing connection when using Chromecast

Keep Wifi on/off during sleep feature gone on android pie

Any one know how to find feature keep wifi during sleep on android pie?
I have S8+ on oreo and still have it but my S9+ on pie doesn't have. Because I think keep wifi always on maybe drain the battery gradually.

If you can not find a setting try using the search feature within the settings menu. This will come in handy due to a few toggles/options being moved to different spots.
Wifi power saving mode was moved to Developer Options.
Description of the toggle isn't clear, but this is the only power saving setting for WiFi I see.

Thank you for your help. I have already turn that one on. The one I wanted to find name "keep wifi during sleep" (maybe) I have searched through all the settings but couldn't find it. I even tried to do adb shell but it didn't help. If you any solution, please let me know.

That's the only setting I see that deals with WiFi power saving. Last I knew it was moved under developer options, I can try looking later to see if I can find it again
But let me ask this because what you write makes it sound like you want WiFi to turn off when the phone sleeps because it may drain the battery gradually if it is on all the time. If that is the case the only other setting I can find that would come close is "turn on WiFi automatically" under adaptive WiFi.
From the way it looks the default setting is to have WiFi enabled all the time, but as for power drain it is not anything at all significant or noticeable. I myself can still get a full days of use with the phone and still have power to spare and active usage.

Yes, it is exactly the same one I linked in the image above.
The only difference is mine is located inside developer options and not under the WiFi Advanced menu (as depicted in the image you posted)

Sorry, my bad.. I took another look at your image and the answer is no, the option is not present in or on my phone. I am running the snapdragon G965U and Android Pie so if your running the Exynos model I am not sure if the menu layout/options are different... Side thought on the matter, it might help if people start indicating the chipset on the phone in case it does matter in some way.
I did google search it a bit and it would seem that the WiFi sleep is no longer used, it is either always on, selectively turns on based on location, adjusted pending on usage patterns, or always off (if WiFi is turned off).
I personally do not use "Turn on WiFi automatically" or "WiFi power saving mode" because they caused more problems then they did good for me. With WiFi enabled and having mobile data on all the time I have suffered no ill effects or any noticeable impact to my battery consumption, so IMHO I would just leave your WiFi enabled if you use it.

I think maybe because of Android pie that make that make it different. Anyway thanks for your help.
Google has removed this feature since Android 8 and the WiFi is now always on.
That's stupid, but that's Google...
There is an application in the Store to deactivate WiFi during sleep, but it's not so efficient and need to stay in memory.
(this no WiFi sleep is the main reason I return back to Android 7 on my tablet.)
The default seems to be Wifi always on. However, on my Galaxy Note 8 with Android Pie, the wifi still disconnects whenever the phone sleeps. Turning the Wifi power saving mode on or off does not change this.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S Wifi stops working after leaving sleep mode

I have buyed the new released Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and i have problems with the Wifi. When you let the device to sleep for few hours wifi stops working. When turning on the phone from sleep the wifi dont work and you have to turn the wifi off and on to restore it, then i receive all the messages at once when the apps (Line, Whatsapp, etc) reconnect to inet. It seens to happen only if the device is sleep for few hours. If is only sleep for few minutes it works ok. Anyone experienced this issue, knows how to solve it?
I noticed strange wifi behaviors too
I also encounter same issue...
please advise your rom version.
my device does not get that's problem
11.0.1 global
11.0.3 india global
11.0.5 india global
I have used my RMN9S more than a week ago and I don't have any issue with WiFi. My device connect to WiFi almost 24/7 without any problem. BTW mine 11.0.3 global
Mine is 11.0.3 global. When i awaked this morning and checked the phone it was working ok. No problems at all after all night in sleep mode. I am puzzled. I hope it was a "one" time fault and it works from now on. I come again if i have news.
Just got the wifi connected without internet... Had to disable and renable
This also happens to my Redmi Note 9S.
It happens with all current ROMs. I experienced it with global, indian and eu ROMs.
Its also random, it does not happen after x hours. Sometimes its just 1 hour, others is 7 hours, others it does not happen.
What I do:
I turn off the smartphone screen to sleep, with wifi on. AC connected.
I have some apps reading internet data every 2 minutes.
When I wake up, I see the wifi icon connected. But Internet doesn't work.
When I look at the apps, I can see that they stopped accessing internet at a random time in the night.
If I turn wifi off and on, internet works again.
It doesn't happen with wifi off and mobile data connection on.
I tried changing some values in dev settings. Also in battery settings. Nothing has worked yet.
With normal day usage, it can also happens, if the screen is off a few hours.
It not a router wifi issue. My old note 3 worked fine with the same wifi. My wife's redmi note 8 pro works fine too.
It can be something related to battery saving. But so far I have been unable to fix if.
It never happens with screen on, or with screen off for a few minutes.
So I dont think its a hardware issue, I think its software-related.

Thank you DjXavy, your post is perfect to describe my issues. As anyone triying to contact Xiaomi about this problem? Are they even aware of it?
-deleted-
It could be a drivers or firmware problem. Xiaomi should be able to fix it.
What can we do:
1) If it happens to you too, please report it here and give details if you can. That way, Xiaomi can evaluate how common the problem is.
2) While it get fixed: Do someone know an app, or can build one, that check every few seconds if internet conection is working, and if it fails a few times, the app turns wifi off and on? It will require a rooted smarthphone to control wifi switch.
3) Do someone know how to send bug reports to Xiaomi? It would be good is they get a link to this thread.
I have updated to 11.0.5 now, lets see if its fixed or not. I have used the inbuilt report feature in the phone to report the issue but anything else except this post.
I have flashed xiaomi.eu 11.0.5 today. Still Wi-Fi Problems here. Hope Xiaomi get this fixed soon.
I have been contacted by Xiaomi support in the phone app. Now at least they are aware of the problem.
They called me today too. I have send them logs. At least they are working hard at this Problem. Everyone should send them logs to get this error fixed soon.
I may found the cause and workaround to prevent this bug.
Normally WiFi recognizes absence of internet connection. But in our case we're still online and I noticed some syncs still working. So DNS is coming to my mind. But I still changed my wifi to static IP using Google 8.8.8.8 DNS.
With Pie(?) Google introduced "Private DNS". I remember in MIUI 10 this feature was hidden and by default "off". On my NOTE 9S (global MI version) this setting was set to "Automatic" by default. After turning it off while dysfunctional WiFi, internet was coming back right away. After this (still) continuous connection.
The time is too short to be sure it's gone forever (*evil laugh*), but you guys could help to test.
You find the option in "Settings | Connection & sharing | Private DNS".
Good work. Continue trying things!
I switched off that same option days ago.
My 9S still have problems with wifi.
Sometimes, even switching the screen off a few minutes is enought to trigger it.
I'm still trying things, but no luck so far.
Although I've only had it for one day, I've not seen this problem yet. Wonder if it's a Wi-Fi compatibility issue or something strange?
I have noticed that I dont have problems when I am connected to a 802.11n network. The last Days I have had the Problems I Was connected to 802.11ac (2,4ghz + 5ghz). Today I was connected to an old 802.11n network and everything seems to be okay. Do you have the Problems with both Networks?

Interesting. I'm connecting to a 802.11ac wifi too.
I will switch to a 802.11n one and see what happens.
