Hello guys.
I have a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite since November 2018 and so far I'm loving the phone but there is an issue that is really annoying me.
Frequently the phone seems to lost connection. For example: I'm using Facebook app then I start to watch a video. Suddenly the video stops buffering and my connection (WiFi or Mobile Data doesn't matter because it happens with both) is at max level. After some refreshes on the app or closing it and opening it again the connection starts working again. This issue does not only happen on Facebook app, it happens with everything that uses internet connection. I just used the Facebook example because it is easier to understand the problem.
I turned off the automatic synchronization but didn't resolve the problem. It is not a problem with the router because it happens everywhere!
Anyone has this issue and if so how it was fixed?
Best regards!
I have the same problem with wifi, I tried xiaomi eu,globe rom,havoc,aosip...and the problem remains.
I'll try to get back to oreo to see if it works

Glad to know that I'm not the only with this issue so it is not malfunction of my phone.
But this is really bad because the phone is so good....
On the oreo for now wifi works

So you are saying that is a bug on Android Pie (9.0) ?
Is Xiaomi aware of this problem or there is a low probability that the bug will be fixed on a next update?
When I bought phone I did not have any problem with wifi how much I remember.He was on oreo
I'll test him a bit more to see

Thanks for your feedback.
Guess the only options are flash and install a custom ROM (but warranty is voided) or wait for a fix (but I don't know if Xiaomi is aware of the issue)
It's the same on custom roms.I tried most of them
Maybe it's up to the phone

I have Mi 8 Lite for almost 10 days and wifi works without any single drop or problem, faster then my Lg g6 and Huawei P9, maybe Xiaomi using different wifi modules?

What is that? Is some kind of a driver? If yes then I need root on my phone.
Magisk module and need root
I have dropping wifi but mobile data is solid. It has been an issue on all miui 8.1 and 9.0 roms plus on aosp 9.0 (have not used any 8.x aosp roms). Right now I am on newest 9.5.9 global and have not noticed it dropping. I only notice it on YouTube because of the reconnected popup. The drop only lasts a few seconds for me but is annoying.

Unless that module does more than channel bonding then it is useless on our device because both 2.4 and 5.0 are bonded already. Now on my redmi note 4x only 5.0 was bonded. I have attached ss showing the settings already in rom.
I just received this phone a few days ago from Banggood. I am also having some issues with wifi. It started already when I just turned on the phone (it had Android 8) and wanted to download updates (to Android 9) - it found the update, but it wasn't able to download it.. It just got stucked at 0%.
When I switched from 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz, it worked fine and the phone updated successfully .
Since then, some apps occasionally lost connectivity when I was on 5 GHz wifi.
2.4 GHz works fine.
I was playing a bit with settings on my Netis router at 5 GHz, tried switching from 80 MHz band width to 40 MHz - didn't help. But what helped was disabling 802.11ac - when I set just 802.11 b/g/n, it works fine even at 5 GHz with 40 MHz width (bonding). It is slower (phone reports just 150 Mbps and laptop 300 Mbps), but I didn't notice any issues since then. So I guess that the phone is having problems just with 802.11ac or some of its features.
Or is anybody having issues also with 2.4 GHz wifi?
I have problems with wifi too. I have a router that runs at 2.4GHz and sometimes it disconnects. It is always solved by restarting the phone.
It happens in Miui and in custom roms too.
Any solution?

Got my S2 and loving it but having a problem with its wifi performance.
It is running slowly ie on a n network speed test gives between 0.1 and 1 MBs down upload seems fine tried different channels etc. Killed all others apps in task manager disabled background snyc, but no difference
Then tried a different wifi access point on my network with similar results so it seems to be the phone. In comparison my wifes phone is consistently around 5 times faster download speed. sucks not to be able to use my new toy properly Any ideas before it goes back?
Thanks

is your router capable of sending G and N signal at the same time? u may have to change either a setting on ya phone to just pick up G or a router setting, this wont be your phone, i work for an isp, see this all the time 1 pc or laptop is N router is N and 2nd pc is G or even B and this causes problems
Thanks for the reply changed the router to n only and the phone is the only device connected still painfully slow. Then tried b/g and the speed test is much faster. Looks like the galaxy dosn;t play nice with the n router I have (home hub 3 from bt)

Some routers with n were released with support for the draft spec. It's possible your router only supports a version of the draft n spec and thus isn't fully compatible with the SGS2 which would be full n spec compatible. Your router may have a firmware update that would give it full n spec. It would be worth a quick check.

Great information! Thank you.
It is a new router only a month old so pretty sure its not draft n. Thanks for the suggestion though

Does anyone know if the SII's N wifi works on the 5GHz band? My wifi network with my PC is solely on 5GHz as get fewer disconnections and constant speed through my fibre connection then with 2.4GHz.
Thanks
According to this it supports Dual Band:
http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-supports-dual-band-wi-fi-80211n
which was based on this
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA11164 (does not work in Chrome)
I'm thinking the wifi performance could be poor just like the wifi performance on the Samsung Nexus S phones is. The Nexus S wifi is pretty poor. Does your signal strength show it being full or weak? On the Nexus S you could be 2 feet away from the router and it would still show weak reception.

Thanks mate, exactly what I was hoping. I'll post a review of the performance using my 100MB fibre connection as soon as I get the phone and let everyone know how it degrades around my house.
So my device is Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon.
Already unlocked, twrp, rooted, using RR Rom.
I play MOBA games called Vainglory and my Speedtest is very good. My previous device was Oppo R7s but when gaming all good with such connection (pic attached). But when I play Vainglory with this device, all very good and smooth until 2 minutes the lagging spikes from 200 to 600 until 20000ms (pic attached). The game ends at the point when I can only see players battling each other (it means download speed ok) and I cannot do something like the players cannot see me and I only walk back and forth (it means upload speed just super drops). So what is the solution to this? And when I checking speedtest after the awful gaming experience, the download speed is okay like 11mbps and the upload speed just DROPS to 0.3mbps. And when I surfing the internet, it cannot connect and I have to use Airplane mode and back again to re-enable the internet and the download speed is back to 11mbps and upload speed is back to 7mbps.
Please don't tell me to change ROMs etc because I was changing ROMs everyday in 2 weeks, from Global stable to Global dev to China dev to Xiaomi eu ROMs etc. But the problem is still there.
In short:
1. I tried changing ROMs, not working.
2. Tried VPN, not working.
3. Tried flashing MIUI Unlock limit speed, not working.
Any correlation with GPU/CPU heating?
Any ide to hack or flashing modem file or something?
Please help any answers is appreciated.
I am so sad and have no clue, just don't know what I am supposed to do to fix this solution..

Dude! It just says on your game screenshot, that your connection is slow. you ping is really really high so of course you are going to expreinece lag. Speedtest isn't everything. Check your pingtest.net

If the ping goes up to 20 secs, its probably because his connection is lost due to some fault, either hardware or software, not ping.

or you know, may be the servers are far away and it has nothing to do with his phone and software and every thing to do with his internet connection.

No, you don't know the problem. Every connection is normal and at full speed, except gaming. The problem is solved here anyway, by changing thermal-engine.conf and it works flawless.

IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY JUST GO TO THE END OF THE POST, THERE IS SO MUCH BLAH BLAH WRITTEN IN HERE
Hello, two days ago I bought this great little thing that is X96 Mini 2GB 16GB
I had everything ready and installed but there was this one little yet huge problem which was the slow internet speed
I have 4 Mbps internet but I always got at best results 1.2 Mbps on X96 Mini
on all other devices I got the full 4Mbps so I after a LOOOONG and boring search though the internet I came up with the solution (finally)
I use D-Link 2740U 300Mbps*
.
keep in mind the things that I tried and DID NOT work for me:
1) I updated the firmware to the latest stock version (OTA) which is 20180512.
2) I flashed a custom ROM which is atvXperience by*NayamAmarshe, (if you don't know about it yet then go check it out, it made everything better and faster (EVERYTHING) and I thank him for his great work) but unfortunately it didn't solve my main problem.
3) I heard that changing the encryption type on my wifi router settings from Mixed (TKIP+AES) to AES only would solve the issue, tried that.. it was temporarily solved (30 mins) then it was back just like before.
one of the things that helped me find the solution was this, when I send something through the router to the device the speed did not pass 1.4 Mbps.. when I send something DIRECTLY the speed was normal (20 Mbps or even more)
so the key thing is in the router settings, nothing is wrong on the devices side
I started playing with the router settings till I finally finally GOT TO THE POINT
THE SOLUTION IS:
you need to change the WiFI Band from 2.4 Ghz (B+G+N) TO 2.4 Ghz (B) OR 2.4 Ghz (B+G)
after changing this setting I was able to get my full router speed at all times no matter how far the device is from the router (6 meters is the distance that I am dealing with)
the problem is that the N stands for newer bands which is okay and supported in most devices but not totally on X96 mini, so when the router detects that a device is using an older band, it kinda sets the priority to the newer devices (that's what I understood from a small article explaining the difference among these bands)
anyways I am very happy to see my X96 Mini buffering 1080p YouTube videos without a glitch (yes atvXperienve gives you 1080p YouTube playback) and I wanted to share my Xperience with you
have a good day.. *Bye

This can be done by modding the /system/etc/wifi confirguration files
My poison rom for example has additional modifications thus why the big speed increase.
Functions like checksum offloading, timeouts etc are all optimized

Could you share the modified files for x905w chips? We can just swap them with the original ones and we are good to go..
BTW thanks for the info
I'm super keen to know some tips on modding the wifi config file as I have the same problem. I had to run another wifi network via my router (which I had turned off) instead of using my ubiquiti AP as I cannot change the band settings on the AP. 2 networks at home is not my ideal setup.
Ricky Divjakovski can you provide an insight at all??
Thanks
My router won't allow me to do just B/G. The x96 has been slower that ever. Can we actually mod the wifi config file to help?
HI everyone! I have two X96 mini tv boxes with different stocks.
One of them opens this program without any problem. Link for program is here:

Another tv box doesn't open this program. Opens then closes in a few seconds. Can u help me please. what is the prolem?
I need this program!
Thank you for your attention!
I have also changed router setting as mentioned above but my wifi is still very slow
When i connect through mobile hotspot it runs fine and when i connect x96 mini with wifi router it works slow
Kindly help how to resolve the issue
Hello,
So I recently made a first time purchase of android box H96 Max X2.
All is fine, however I noticed the wifi speed is really slow. The speed test shows I'm getting 4 mbps instead of the normal 35 mbps I'm getting from other devices.
I'm pretty sure its due to the weak wifi antennae in the box. My question is, can I plug in a USB Wifi adapter? Will it be compatible with the box?
Many Thanks,
I tried 2 USB WiFi dongles ,EDUP & Mediatec .
BOX doesn't see them
Hi, I have 2 brand new Nokia 7.2 and an old (my previous phone) Nokia 5.1 Plus, and I have a problem that it's freaking me out. The issue is very simple, I almost cannot navigate while using a WiFi connection in my main Nokia 7.2, I have to use the mobile data connection so I can watch a video without any lag or resolution issue but that is not ideal.
So, I perform some test and I find out that my 7.2 does have like 50% of speed from WiFi (both in 5GHz and 2.4GHz) compared to the 5.1, and I'm not talking about external speed test, but in LAN (between my phone connected by WiFi, and my computer connected by gigabit ethernet) using iperf3.
After testing I got this results:
(Result's format: '-Band: AVG Speed (Min Speed -> Max Speed)')
Nokia 5.1 Plus:
-5GHz: 241Mbps AVG (214Mbps -> 252Mbps)
-2.4GHz: 41Mbps AVG (31.5Mbps -> 53.1Mbps)
Nokia 7.2 (both):
-5GHz: 116Mbps AVG (85.9Mbps -> 140Mbps)
-2.4Ghz*: 24.3Mbps AVG (18.5Mbps -> 29.2Mbps)
* I did perform like 3 tests in this case, and those numbers are from the best result. The worst result was like 15.6Mbps AVG
And that is not all. The setup is all the same. Same wireless router (I have 2, and I always check that both phone are connected to the best one), same phone position (like 0.5 meters away from the router, even less), the computer (server) is not doing anything that could use the network card or the CPU, and of course testing one phone first then the other one, and then doing the same but swiping the order. Also both phones (5.1 Plus and my main 7.2) show that have the same link speed (433Mbps) and both phones have Android 9 (Android 10 is not here yet).
The only difference between the 5.1 and the 7.2 is that the 5.1 has 802.11a while the 7.2 doesn't, but the issue about that is that standard is for 5GHz (and it's just for 54Mbps), so I don't think that this is the issue, because that should mean that the 2.4GHz's speed should be the same.
Also, is not like a hardware malfunction beacuse, as I said before, I did the same test with both 7.2 that I have and both have exactly the same issue.
I want to know if anyone has (or had) the same issue. I think that this could be a mis-setting or another battery saver package included in the OS limitating the speed just like when 5.1 had a battery saver that limitates the Background processes
Hi. I didn't experience as much as you did but I can confirm the phone is pretty slow on WiFi. My friend's Samsung J7 loads videos easily while mine gets stuck on buffering for eternity. I looked for this problem on Nokia Forums but I couldn't find anyone experiencing it beside me. I did read somewhere that forgetting your network and adding it again might solve it. I know, it doesn't make any sense and I might be delusional but I think the speed is a bit better now!
Anyway, I still believe there's a problem regarding WiFi speed on this phone. Perhaps it's a software thing just like you said. Anyone else who can provide an explanation of some kind?
Hi everyone,
I wanted to put this in the development section because it would get more notice, but I know it belongs here. I haven't tried ArrowOS for a while due to the build thread being closed/locked. Anyway, I've been playing around with different ROMS lately trying to find an android 10 version that gets the very low deep sleep battery usage that android 9 used to get. So on ArrowOS (android 10) I'm getting approx 2% battery drain per day if the device isn't used at all. Awesome.
I've been using CarbonROM and CRdroid which are both awesome ROMS btw, but on both of these I get approx 8% battery drain per day if the device isn't used at all.
So this thread is really just any FYI for anyone else out there like me, that thought Arrow wasn't still being updated. I've been using it for a day or so, and everything is working great. I haven't included the website link but any search will find it easily.
Hi ! I'm using Crdroid. The rom developer is already working on 11 androids.There is a future.
I can't write statistics. I installed the Hibernator apk. Now the battery is good.
In which version of the ArrowOs did you get these %2/day battery drain?
I'm using pixel experience plus for low standby battery drain. But it is Android 9.

Should have mentioned this first post - I've got the wifi only version, and I use tasker to turn wifi on/off with the screen. No other battery optimisations etc
This weird battery drain start to affect roms from March onwards. Hope the developers nailed down the cause in the kernel sources soon.

Been running carbon rom for a loooong time. If left I lose 4% per day. Not bad at all. That's with WiFi and cellular signal on and always connected, plus Bluetooth. Seems fine to me
Maybe that has something to do with it - yours is 4g, mine is the WIfi model? Are you running a recent build of Carbon, and do you have gapps installed?

Yup, updated regularly with the weekly builds. Have gapps installed. Not too sure, but as a guess I would have thought the 4g+WiFi would consume slightly more power than WiFi only as it'll be searching for/refreshing signal.
Also with the Bluetooth always on, whenever I watch TV it connects and disconnects to my Bluetooth speakers that come on with TV. I'd have thought that would add to consumption too.
Definitely would think that wifi only models should use less battery. Still tho, others have the same battery drain as me.. .

@Wizballs Wow, thanks for the tip! I've been having the same problem, also with a WiFI-only miPad 4. Even with MIUI from Xiaomi.eu had the same problem. I also tested the latest LineageOS 17.1, CarbonROM, and crDroid. They all lose about 5% during 7 hours of standby with WiFI and Bluetooth turned off. Whereas the latest ArrowOS lost 0% during 7 hours. Quite impressive!
There are a few disadvantages though with ArrowOS:
- The system theme color, it appears there should be a dark orange color available (something like #e74e1b) but it is not available
- The AOSP keyboard has no top number row. This is something that crDroid has, also with the AOSP keyboard.
- The default camera app has no panoramic mode. I wish they could include the MIUI Camera app that Carbon ROM uses, While also keeping the default camera, which is better for most things..
- The LED light does not turn on while charging.
Cool I just thought it would be good to share. You are right about no led light while charging, I never noticed before. I use gboard for number row, and Google camera installs from the playstore, seems to work fine for panorama shots. Also haven't noticed any issues with theming, bit I've just left it on default.

I installed it too. Seems pretty much like the last build. Still no LED notification lights during charging or when notifications arrive with the screen off.
Might be enough to annoy some people I guess. I just keep using it because Android 10 plus great battery standby for wifi only models.
I've just installed the official ArrowOS 11.0 build. Dirty flash over AOS 10 successfully. Will test and report back, especially regarding battery life on wifi only model
Reporting back on Arrow 11.0 builds (wifi only model)
- Standby battery approx 3% per day
- OTA update works
- Charging led not showing
- Nutflix not in playstore. Probably side-loadable, but haven't tried

I also just dirty-flashed ArrowOS 11.0 (from 10.x) on my WIFI-only model. Also confirming that the LED does not appear when charging or for notifications. It has settings now to enable/disable the LED, but they make no difference.
