Downgrading from MIUI10 to MIUI9 - Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers

I bought the Xiaomi Redmi 6A a month ago. It came with MIUI9 global stable ROM out-of-the-box. A few minutes after starting the device, I got an update. After updating to MIUI10, I found out that this version includes literally a thousand bugs. I wanted to go back to MIUI9 almost instantly. For example, the Hotspot stops working after a few minutes of connectivity(1), so does 3G on some networks(2). Not to mention, the "rotate" button in the notification shade works inversely (blue means off, white means on).
I've been thinking of ways to revert back to MIUI9. I downloaded a MIUI9 ROM file from This Link. So can I just flash this through recovery or fastboot, or will there be any problems?
Has anyone attempted to downgrade this device?
My current ROM version is MIUI10 Global Stable 10.0.12.0
1. A few minutes after connecting a device with the Redmi 6A hotspot, the other device stops getting internet access through the Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi stays connected though, but does not get any internet access.
2. 3G does the same kind of behaviour on some networks. On other networks, it works fine. 4G also works fine on any network.

Reset the device! Might be possible that you wouldn't face those bugs. I also had a situation like you. But after resetting my phone several time. Miui 10 is working great now on redmi 6a. A lot faster than miui 9 and more stable

After resetting a couple of times, I am still facing those problems. As far as I can tell, the problem is DNS related.

Sorry to hear that, my Redmi 6A also upgraded itself to MIUI 10 a month ago but I didn't have any problems at all. Phone works nice and smooth with a bit better battery life I think. Hope you can solve those issues since this is an excellent phone, especially considering the price tag.

(HELP) Very Poor battery Standby Time on Redmi Note 3 Kenzo....

Hi there. I've Redmi Note 3 Kenzo for a month now. I've problem with my phone battery backup. It have very poor standby time. Even when I'm not using my phone it continuously looses 2/3 percent of battery per hour i.e around 40-50 % in a day . I usually turn off data, wifi , GPS etc after using even though its the same. I tried MIUI 8 Global as well as Chinese (Both stable and Beta version), even downgraded to MIUI 7 on various version, used eu.xiaomi ROM, MultiROM etc but still there is same problem. In some custom ROMS like CM 13 and RR Remix there is a bit improvement in standby time but not as it must be in 4100 mah battery. As I like using MIUI than custom ROM so my problem is still there. I am tired of flashing various ROM every now and than. Does anyone facing same problem. Can anyone help me and suggest some ways of solving this problem. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hope someone will Help. Please................

however my experience with nougat cm is quiet satisfactory ,it gives at least a reasonable sot,if u find something pleaaase pm me too.
It's most likely an app that is causing this. Are you able to see if the phone is going into deep sleep?

I tried Wake Lock Detector but couldn't find any app causing the problem. I even tried Greenify and Amplify app but no improvement. It seems its Problem In MIUI Rom cause using custom ROM i get a bit improvement in standby battery life. Any suggestion can you give like Which version of MIUI Rom is better for battery life.
Is there anyone who can help? Please.....
I'm currently on xiaomi.eu rom 6.11.3 (since it is the only one that allows for use of custom kernels with goodix at this time) and I get what I feel is good battery life. You could try this ROM if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for your reply. But i already tried that Rom. And yes i have officially unlocked bootloader. I usually get satisfactory SOT but my only problem is standby time. Battery is decreasing constantly even without using my phone. Currently using RR Remix Rom and getting a bit satisfactory result but i really like MIUI so I'm looking for a fix. Thanks again.

Use stock kernel with nitrogen os and use radon with exodus

GPS issues on note 4 global - fix?

I got my international note 4 last week, it had latest Miui on global stable ROM.
I use runkeeper for running but the accuracy is way off.
I have downloaded apps to test GPS and it gets satellite locks quickly. But constant use with runkeeper leads to very inaccurate readings.
My vernee Thor didn't have this issue.
Could Miui be aggressively stopping the GPS? Any ideas?
After a bit more research i think i know why, it could be the battery saver restricting the GPS when the screen is off, so I've turned it off so that there are no restrictions for runkeeper.
Hopefully that will do the trick, will test on my next run ?
Wow, didn't see this thread before a recent post of my own! - yes I know I should have searched etc.
I just got back from a bike ride using a Runtastic app and the results were all over the place... did your solution work out for you?
Thanks.
there's a bug on miui 8 based on nougat that GPS doesn't lock anymore if not completely outside and I can't find a fix!
I am having the same problem after updating to MIUI Global 8.5 (no custom ROM).
Before that it worked perfectly.

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
My mi 8 lite wifi strenght is not good.when other phones are good in same place .but my phones is weak wifi strength.please share and compare this phone with other phones with wifi analyzer program.and share it.
This phone's WiFi is much much better than my Samsung GS7 ever was. On my 5Ghz wifi, I had one wifi bar in my bedroom with the SGS7.. With this phone, I have four bars. Much love for this phone so far!
Compare to my old Redmi Note 3 SE (Kate) the Mi8 lite is very poor in 4G LTE reception ! Very bad :'(
Wifi is very bad too, in the same place my old phone is better !!!
Materiel problem or software ?

Thanks, I was worried wanna buy this phone and I'm searching for issues like all!
I'm having issues with wifi. It keeps disconnecting and sometimes only connects back when I manually tap the wifi's name in the list. I can't tell if it's from the phone itself or the MIUI 10.3.1.0 Stable, since my phone is one week new and I spend only a few hours with older MIUI version before updating to the latest 10.3.1.0 stable. That's what I'm hopping for, so maybe it's fixed in the next MIUI version.

I have the same problem.
I have a problem with WiFi (mobile data) too .
I have full strength signal but sometimes the device stops getting data. This is so annoying!!! For example, when I'm on Facebook app I start to watch a video and then the video stops buffering and after some refreshes on Facebook app the data comes being downloaded again. This doesn't happens only with Facebook, it happens with everything like Instagram, Google Chrome, etc. I stop automatic synchronization but no result.
Anyone have this issue?

Random reboots and shutdowns

Hi. I purchased the 6/64 version of the Pocophone F1 a month ago. Since then, the phone randomly freezes and reboots often. Sometimes it shuts down automatically, though that is rare. But the reboot thing happens very often, up to 10 times a day. I have clean flashed stable and beta stock roms, also tried xiaomi.eu, Pixel Experience, Lineage and Resurrection Remix, but the problem persists across all roms. I am now on stock MIUI 10 global beta 9.3.7. Can anyone provide me any guidance?

Since it is within warranty, get it replaced/repaired by Xiaomi.

Stable Android 10 like stable Android 9???

Hello !
For many issues i left Android 10 , issues like battery drain , camera, proximity sensor issue , network issue, restart issue.
Big question will there be a stable Android 10 ultimately??? ?
If then when?
I have two EU Mi A3 phones on Android 10 (one fully stock, second one rooted). There is no battery drain, no network issue, no random restarts. The latest June update (not available for global yet) fixed also camera and "generic" memory leak issue (or at least it's not that visible anymore). The only remaining issue is that Chrome sometimes freezes during browsing, but that could be due to the app itself.
Long story short, A10 is already as stable as A9 was.
Yes, same here, full stock global unrooted, no big issues.
You can use brave browser, no ads and no freezes
Here the situation is totally different.
I have owned 2 Mi A3 phones.
Both were upgraded to A10 (Evolution X with root). While one was stable, the other suffered from automatic reboots when the screen is locked (usually when I'm asleep) or while unlocking the screen.
Both were originally European versions of the phone, but the custom A10 ROM may have installed a global firmware/vendor.
The stable one I gave to my sister and she's still using and upgrading it without problems.
I kept the unstable one for myself and I've tried to repair or at least find out why it reboots by installing different ROMs (crDroid and Evolution X) and different kernels (Bit and Fenix) but so far I've not been able to solve the issue. I've looked at the logcat and even send the logcat to the developer of some custom ROMs.
I suspect that the reboot happened because of the phone activating itself to look for new messages in the background (while the screen is locked). Maybe the phone was switching between different sleep/active states. The reason I suspect this is because I've seen at least once that the reboot happened around the same time that I see in the logfile of my WiFi access point that this phone is having some internet traffic.
Sadly I don't have the right skills to develop my own custom ROM, but if someone with these skills is reading: If you have time, please make a custom ROM based on A9 with signature spoofing and root. I was still using Kitkat a half year ago, so I'm not in a hurry to use A10 or 11.
Update:
I've just read some one suspect that the reboot is caused by the phone trying to adjust the brightness because he was walking out of a building when the reboot happened... so maybe in my case it was the phone (while the screen is off and locked) is receiving a new message and trying to turn on the screen to show the notification.
Well guys there is new disgusting problem faced by me also by many ..
Screen goes off after call , it doesn't alive untill the other person hangs.
We r here mostly use global version.
Facing many bugs!!
Like restart problem!!
Sensor problem..
Battery not stable..!
MI A3 still they didn't declared STABLE 10.
SO I AM WAITING WITH MY GLOBAL VERSION..
