Hi to all!
I have the Global Rom, as far as I know!
The phone is in original state, no unlocked boot, no root, no nothing!
Since it updated to the MIUI 10, I get a "malfunction" in the app update, whether it's thru the PlayStore or the MIUI's updating app.
When it senses Wi-Fi, the apps to be updated starts to loop between the "Downloading" and "Waiting" states, but none of them really starts the updating process.
And this is running in background, consuming the battery very rapidly!
In the PlayStore, I can stop the updating procedure, wait a few moments and click to update and then all goes well.
In the MIUI app, I can't do the same because, no matter how many times I click to stop, it doesn't and I can't kill the process.
The only way to stop it, is to shutdown the WiFi. But, as soon as I turn it on, resumes it's strange behaviour.
Would it be because I have a VPN connection always on?
Does anyone has the same problem?
As anyone solved it? How?
After digging a while, I've came to the following conclusions:
-the Xiaomi's update app, for their own apps, doesn't work with a VPN; I need to disconnect from the VPN and allow it to update on "normal" WiFi;
-the PlayStore does work, if I proceed like I've mention before;
Is this normal? Can I correct this privacy problem?

I´m not familiar at all with this kind of issues, I just think you could start;
- By checking your region from additional settings so miui has different policies for some of them and I guess the apps are slightly different for some countries.
- If your VPN has random locations then this doesn´t match with your region settings.
- Clearing cache and data in updater and downloader manager apps.
- Giving only permissions as your convenience to these two apps.
- Like last resort formatting data in stock recovery.

Hello, I have a strange problem on my phone. We own two of these phones, and the problem is only present on mine. I am using a Huawei U8650 with Benru89's version 4 custom ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.7. The problem I am having is that my wifi doesn't seem to scan for open networks, and I never get notifications that there are open networks available. I have notifications enabled. When I leave my home and return, my wifi doesn't automatically reconnect either, I have to disable my wifi completely, then re-enable it for it to connect. I believe it has something to do with software, perhaps remnant settings of past apps I had on the phone and/or there is a corrupt system file that manages wifi settings that I need to delete. I already deleted the file that contained all my saved network data, and no change. However, upon deleting Google Hangouts from my phone I have seen an improvement in my wifi performance. It always stays connected when I'm at home now and my weather widget updates normally again, and didn't before I removed it, hence my suspicious this has something to do with a previous app that I installed and removed. I've already cleared app caches in the past with no luck, as well as the caches I can access in the recovery menu.
So, my questions. Are there any specific locations in my file system I should check for remnants of past installations, and also, are there any files related to wifi that I can safely delete in order to purge my wifi of all settings, and start fresh? Thanks!
I have read the threads here; but I think this is a different problem:
My BT connection is FINE, I can initiate phonecalls from the watch, etc; but it just suddenly stopped receiving notifications from my phone (Huawei mate 7, 5.1.1. stock, unrooted) AND sending data to the phone (i.e. UP movements/ steps data).
I have already uninstalled ZenWatchwithout any effect) and BT is connected (according to wacth and AndroidWear)
Restarting phone/ watch, cleaning android wear/ UP cache/ data does not solve the issue; any other ideas what the culprit is, and how to solve it?
Do you have anything blocking or hibernating Google Play Services? Sometimes GPS crashes on my watch and I have to restart it before I'll get any more notifications. I imagine if something is preventing it from running it'll have the same effect.
Thanks for advice, I shall look into it. Suggestion from another thread was recent Android Wear update as culprit of this problem - I shall try to install an older version of AW as well..
Hi guys,
First let me explain the situation: I've noticed recently that a lot of my apps, such as Gmail, Facebook Groups, Messenger and pretty much any app I need to have instantaneous notifications, aren't syncing properly. I might get notifications an hour or more after they are delivered. Even when I force-sync an app, such as refreshing the notification feed on Facebook Groups, there are delays that can go on indefinite until I get sick of waiting. I don't even know what the conditions are for this problem to occur because other times such as on WiFi, I have pretty consistent data syncing. Just a couple minutes ago I tried turning on and off airplane mode which seems to have fixed the issue. I'm going to see how long this lasts.
Here is the app I'm currently using that may affect data synchronization.
- Greenify: same problem persists regardless of settings and root. Haven't tried completely uninstalling it.
So just to be clear this issue persists from firmware to firmware regardless of Android version. I've had many android phones and am very aware of flashing procedures and all the ways to enhance my phone. My phone is unlocked and I flash firmwares using flash tool. I've tried fixing this issue by running rooted and unrooted to no avail. I've also taken all these apps out of the doze mode and turned them all on as priority.
Please let me know if you have any solution to this. It's costing me business.
Thanks!
Hey Guys -
I recently upgraded to a Galaxy S9+ and overall love it despite not being able to root. For the past couple of weeks, I've had a three very annoying issues though. I've tried many things to resolve, but so far can't figure out solutions. Below are thr issues and what I've tried to fix each. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
1. Random ads open in default browser (Firefox) no matter what I'm doing / what app I'm in
It doesn't matter what app I'm in, every 5 min or so Firefox opens on top of whatever I'm currently using without warning and displays an ad in a webpage. I use the Ublock tool in Firefox so sometimes it opens to a blocked webpage
What I've tried to fix:
- Closed all tabs, cleared history / personal data, then force quit Firefox
- Restarted phone
- Tried many malware apps like Malwarebytes but scans come in clean
- Uninstalled apps not installed from Google Play (only a couple)
- Put all apps not needed to run in background asleep
- Disabled notifications for apps I don't need
2. Display configs randomly apply
I have my screen set to turn off after 2 minutes and also have "always on display" enabled during the daytime which is different than simply leaving display on. Currently, though; after 2 min the screen just dims - that's it. If I hit a button to turn screen off it works, but if I place it on charger after doing this, the lock screen appears and it just Dom's after 2 minutes too. Basically, always on display only works after I press a button to power display off
What I've tried to fix:
- Verifying settings we're correct
- Setting configs differently then reverting them
- Disabled all MacroDroid / AutoMagic scripts
- Installed Greenify to put apps to sleep thinking one may be keeping device awake
3. Secure Startup Reverts
My work uses InTune and requires strict policies and settings in order for sync to work - one of these is Secure Startup where you must enter your passcode after reboot. Every couple of days or after a reboot, this setting Reverts from being enabled to disabled this making my phone daily compliance and stopping sync of work stuff. I must manually reenable it, then jump through hoops to get it compliant again. This has been an issue since I got the phone.
Any suggestions for any of the above?
Thanks!!
You could have a malware in your phone. When I had my note 8 I experienced something similar with the ads, it was very annoying. Long story short... I had to do a factory reset
I agree with TonyGzl92. It is probably Malware.
If the problem persist and you have deleted all installed apps and still get the problem you will ned to perform a factory reset and watch the phone after every app you install.
I had the issue with the screen just dimming instead of going completely off, and it was a conflict with an app I had installed. Pretty sure it was a Play Store app, but it's been long enough I no longer remember what app it was.
I updated to latest MIUI Global 11.0.8 and this annoying bug cycles itself. If I click settings, there's a new option at the top most suggesting "Finish Setting Up Your Device". If I click it it takes me to Android Setup where it suggests I connect to Wi-Fi to finish setup. I already am on Wi-Fi and it isn't doing anything.
This bug existed in the previous MIUI 11.0.6 but in that case it was just a notification after every reboot which would disappear if you clear recents or hide that notification.
In 11.0.8 there's a persistent option right at the top of the settings menu and there is no way to get rid of it.

In setting go to manage apps. Find android setup application and force stop it. You can also permanently disable it. Btw I didn't face this issue. So try using a different wifi. It might be due to improper data connection in wifi.

I've tried all that including clearing data.
None of it works.
