Echo during calls - Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I am using a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, running the latest xiaomi.eu MIUI 12 rom 20.4.30 beta. This is something that that has been bothering me but didn't have time to fix but it's gotten to a point where it's just freaking annoying now.
Issue: During any calls, using any apps, whenever I speak with someone and I put them on speaker, they hear themselves talking. This isn't due to bad connectivity or some hardware malfunction but due to the software. Last time I didn't have this problem was when using MIUI 10 stable release from xiaomi.eu around October last year. After flashing MIUI 11 beta towards the beginning of the year, those issues began. Now we are at MIUI 12 and the issue is still here. I rolled back and forth a couple times and going back to an older stable rom, the echo issue is resolved but that doesn't help when I want to use a more updated and more secure version.
Solution: Searching but people say things like some little piece of rubber missing inside (LOL?!) or that there is a problem with the settings on a root level.
Please help

I see that there is no clue as to whats happening. Apparently this echo is fixed by turning of the OK Google function in voice match. Any reason why thats a thing and if there will be a better fix for that?

[Q] ICS Passion v9.0 -- Inconsistently Poor Call Quality

Hello gentlemen!
First of all, I want to thank neobuddy and everyone that he worked with on the ICS Passion ROM. I find it excellent and have been using it for the past week or so.
I do have a slight issue, though, and as I am not yet familiar with mobile development, I am not sure if the problem stems from my hardware or the software. I bought this Vibrant used, though in excellent condition. As soon as it arrived, I rooted it and installed ICS Passion on it. Therefore, I never actually used the stock software, and that is why I am unsure if this issue stems from the ROM or from the phone itself.
Anyway, my problem is that sometimes during a call, my voice will cut in and out very frequently. This occurs with various people and in various places, so it doesn't have anything to do with signal strength. I can hear the other person just fine. It also seems to only occur when I receive a call. Once I hang up and call the person back, they seem to be able to hear me just fine.
I suspect that this has something to do with one of the following:
1) Sound filtering and normalization. The way that the software handles the data that it receives from the microphone. If it was the microphone itself, I would expect this issue to be much more consistent.
2) Which network the phone uses during phone calls. I've gathered that H is for data transfer and 3G is for phone calls (for the most part). Is it possible that ICS Passion somehow fails to switch to the proper network when a call is received? This seems unlikely as I searched through the ICS Passion thread in the dev forum, but couldn't find an issue similar to mine.
Any insight would be appreciated, although I suppose if no one can help out I can just flash the stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, then I can only assume it's the phone.
Thanks!
try v 10 or v 10.6
Mute and then unmute your call. We've had this problem since cm7

I'm afraid to upgrade to v10 because some people have been experiencing issues with their phones rebooting several minutes into the call. I may try it anyway, though.
Do you know if your problem is with incoming calls only?? That's where the issue seems to be, that the mute/unmute fixes. I put 10 on about a week ago, and am loving it. Put 10.5 on yesterday, and 10.6 today, so they are working on it. I think 10.6 might have fixed it for me, so I'm so happy. Thought Bionix was going to be the end of the line, I tried a couple of gingerbread roms, and had issues!

Been on v10 for a week and have not had the reboot problem. I've heard 10.6 has some problems but yeah the mute/unmute bug isn't that bad you get used to it

That's what it seems like. I have not had a single "you sound like you're underwater" issue for outgoing calls.
Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm glad to find out that the problem isn't with the phone because I can't afford to replace it for a while. I guess I'll just wait a bit and hope that these slight issues get resolved in a more stable iteration.

No sound from earpiece/Call bug info

Hi all
Please bare with me as I'm not the best when it comes to typing out what im thinking or trying to say
This info is mainly for our awesome devs but also for everyone else. Shout outs to @Unjustified Dev @DrakenFX @tdm and anyone else who can fix this
I was just wanting to help get this fixed as this one bug is keeping a lot of users including myself from moving away from stock and enjoying all the other roms available. I believe the bug has to do with the the work our beloved anonymous dev who helped correct the speaker issues a few months ago. Specifically this---> https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/168154/.
I'm pretty confidant it has nothing to do with any of the different modems people are flashing. I have tested this with all of the different modem versions for my G variant and none have made a difference
Also, there are other users that are getting this bug confused with another potential bug that has to do with distorted sound coming out when activating speakerphone while in call or something like that. I have not experienced that bug so I dont know the specifics. People are just using the term "Speakerphone bug" as both of these bugs involve the speakerphone
Now I can create the bug at will and have attached logcats below in the different scenarios. Hopefully the info is there for those who know how to fix
The steps I do to recreate the bug are as follows
1 - unlock phone and using the volume buttons, make sure the ringtone is NOT set to vibrate/silent and Do Not Disturb is NOT activated.
2 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, no issues. Person on the other side can hear perfectly. Repeat as many times as you want, sound always comes through earpiece
3 - using volume buttons, reduce ringtone volume to vibrate/silent or turn on Do Not Disturb
4 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, Hang up
5 - With the ringtone still set to silent/vibrate, turn the screen off using the power button and let it sit for about 5 - 10 seconds
6 - Unlock the phone and try to make a call. Call will connect but no sound will come from earpiece. Person on the other side can hear everything as per normal but we cant hear them
7 - While in call, toggle the speakerphone or if you have dial pad sounds enabled in the sound menu, press a number on the dial pad, sound now comes through earpiece as expected
From my testing and the procedure above, you can see that the bug happens when the phones ringer is put in silent/vibrate or when do not disturb is activated and the phone is locked/unlocked.
logcat 1 is with everything working normally, ringtone set to sound and call coming through earpiece as expected
logcat 2 is with ringtone set to silent and making a call. No sound comes from earpiece
logcat 3 is the same as 2 but during the call toggling speakerphone to fix
Now I dont know what is going on in the logs but I do see a lot of errors from "TFA9890"
This was all done on a fresh install of the universal bootloader, twrp 3.1.1.0, A2017G N Modem, latest LOS and Open Gapps mini and logcats were captured with MatLog on my G variant
Oh see this is Incredibly interesting, because tfa4990 is the route being used.... This is potentially incredibly helpful!!!!
I'm going to analyze these I've the weekend and see if I can figure something out. Thank you for the logs
Interesting timing on this post. I've been working on the axon7mini the past 10 days or so, and it also uses the tfa9890 amp. So I've started to familiarize myself with how all this stuff works. (I have pretty much zero experience with android audio in the past).
Fantastic post, well done. I have only encountered the problem a couple of times but upon reading what you wrote a little light bulb went off, that is exactly the situation that it occurs for me as well. It's this sort of interaction and support between the users and devs at xda have that makes it all so worthwhile. Thanks again.
As someone who's dealt with this bug for a long, long time... I have to commend you on a fantastic post. Thanks, and I hope this leads to a solution!
I hope this is looked into in the process of porting LOS 15. Would be cool to see this issue disappear.
Would this bug also happen on the U variant? I tried to recreate it using the steps above and it worked fine.

I think I have read somewhere that it is not affecting U which might be the reason this has not yet been fixed but I cannot remember where I read this.
We would need the logs from an U variant to check if it looks the same.

It does affect the U variant. I have one and it happened a few times that when I would call someone I had no ringing tone coming from the earpiece unless I toggled the speakerphone on/off.
same problem here in a2017g aosp extended...
So I take it we can give up trying to solve this? Seems to exist in all non stock roms.
Wish someone would fix it. I don't even know where to begin, and with what I've read about the axon 9, i wont be switching phones for quite some time.

Fluence settings will not fix driver implementation. Miustone's claims are misleading. I have tested it to death
The only way to fix would be by a Dev with audio skills. Good luck finding one. I've tried
Stay on a stock roms or risk not hearing in calls in other roms

I fixed all Mic Bugs, Just the Echo is left which seams to came from /system/vendor/etc. Don't blame Me for the Bugs, i never touched the Sources of the Axon 7 and besides Kranoner has No Dev ever asked Me about it again. That My Patch is fixing Bugs means Just that there are Things Missing which are working and present on other Devices too...
I was coming from the LG G5 which has used almost the Same Fluence and Mic Configs as currently present in the Patch. Point.

Well, you have a chance to prove it! Make a flashable zip with ONLY the call bug fixes. If it actually fixes their problems then they'll believe you. otherwise they're right not to.
It's next to pointless using a custom rom if you want a good daily driver.
I bought this phone because I thought things like this could be solved this day and age but I won't be making that mistake next time!

Omg who is blaming you for bugs? Your claiming you fixed it but many others still have this issue
This thread is not about mic issues. Please re-read first post and for the hell of it, check out the logcats. They might help you actually fix it
Unless your digging into the audio/dac driver code, I'm doubtful it will ever be fixed
Why do yall think its the driver? I dont have any problems with audio, its how the Phone app is handling it. If i was to debug this I would check the source for the Phone app and trace it from there. It seems like something might not be using the driver correctly, but the driver seems to be working fine. I could be wrong but I'm not new to linux and android, just no experience with audio development.
Maybe try installing stock phone app on LOS or RR and see if it still has problems. That would either show where the problem is or eliminate Phone app from being source of problem.

Android Auto issues with Stock- Any alternative ROMS

I am having issues connecting to Android Auto Head Unit in my car. I simply get "Phone Charging" notification on and off. I tried most suggested things like, enable debug mode, reinstall Android auto in phone. Nothing seems to work.It would be great if anyone can share some hints on making it work in my car. I have seen others facing issues like only half the screen being displayed in the Car Head Unit. But in my case it is never getting connected .
I am pretty happy with the performance of Stock Rom except for this minor annoyance. I would like to know if Android auto works with any other techniques. If not then it would be good to know its working with Custom Roms.

Other side hear echo on phone call

Hello guys.
I have been facing a problem for a while. Some people whom i'm talking to are complaining that they can hear their own voice while we are speaking on the phone, like some kind of echo; I tried a few solutions like moving the sim to another slot. I even gave up on MIUI by installing a custom rom, with no success as it seems.
The problem disappears while i'm using the earbuds or i'm talking on the speaker. So please if you know any solution to my problem, please replay cause it's annoying as hell.
Thank you sincerely.
i also have this issue
I think it's an issue with the noise cancellation or something like that...
Exactly the same issue, exactly as the OP described. Any solution would be much much appreciated.
Note: I am using the beta MIUI build with Android 9, I'd be willing to roll back to a stable build if it solves the problem.
i´m having this problem too. MIUI EU ROM. haven't tried with other ROMs. i think i didn't had complains with Stable... not sure.
please help has this is very annoying.
Actually, I face this problem when I'm using headphones but if rotate the pin in the jack it fixes itself. Otherwise no echo.
I have this problem too! There are any think that we can do to minimize?
I'm with MIUI 10 Global 8.12.27 Beta
I had the same issue, I've posted a fix that works for me, you can try it if you have root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/themes/fix-noises-echoes-mic-t3886049
As suspected the problem is with the Global Beta... I switched back to Global Stable and the problem is gone.
Hi,
Could you please confirm this issue at the following thread? https://c.mi.com/thread-1894332-1-0.html

Issue fixed (at last!!) on latest MIUI stable 10.3.5 for POCO F1

Redmi Note 9S Call dropping

Hey all,
Am I the only one having issues during phone calls? When I call someone, sometimes the call drops randomly and I hear a network fail sound. I can't reproduce it. Sometimes it happens, others don't. Does anyone experience the same or have any solution? I have tried both SIM slots and doesn't help in any way. I have 4g coverage so I don't believe it's a problem with my network provider (vodafone).
Thanks
PS: Why not change the thread title to include 9S model as well?

Is it confirmed? I just returned the smartphone to the shop and asked for a refund since I could not find anyone with the same issue. Now, I'm reluctant to ask for another equipment since it is very frustrating to have such a bug as calls dropping randomly.

Hello it´s append to to me also,, I´m from Portugal to.
I use this phone for work, and phone calls drop randomly
Same
Just glad I'm not the only one but yes this problem is very annoying
I really want to give xiaomi a chance but this is the most basic function of a phone and it's failing
Previously it also had an issue of losing internet connection but I think they fixed that with a patch so hopefully there will be one soon with this call dropping issue (also sometimes I cannot receive calls either…)
randomly happens.
I'm on 11.0.8.0 USA
I hope they fix it. I really like this phone.
I ended up returning the phone. It is really annoying and as you said it's the most basic function of a phone. I'll be waiting for a fix and/or another model. I don't believe they'll fix it before miui 12 since it's just around the corner and that update may bring other bugs so they must not be fixing any bugs of miui 11. Just my 2 cents, of course.
I enabled wifi calling and its now stable when I am on wifi.
I use tmobile.
Enter these codes into the Dialer to enable the options in Settings. (Settings < SIM Cards & mobile networks < Sim Card Settings < VoLTE Enabled/Make Calls using WLAN)
VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*
VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#*
Things should work after you enable the two options.
I use wifi calling as well as network calling guys, every lengthy call eventually gets dropped. Very annoying!
I love the phone and I am holding hope in resolving these issues by flashing a custom rom. I asked the question regarding the call dropping and wifi bug in the Evolution X thread, apparently all is working well without problems with that rom.

I'm not sure. I've been keeping an eye out in the custom ROM threads for any mention of the two bugs. I haven't seen anything at all.
I asked the dev in the Evolution X thread and he confirmed all is working well regarding this. It seems that development is very active with that ROM, I really want to flash it but there are a few reports of people getting bootloop errors initially, and we still don't have the official TWRP.
I love Miui, after all you can freeze out or remove many of the pesky apps, it works well but it's just the call dropping and the wifi bugs that are plaguing many. This is a major issue that doesn't seen to be getting resolved. Pretty disappointing really.

I read that the developer QuantumShqipe has received some donations now to continue the ongoing work of Evo x which is great news for the development.
Just a note on wifi calling with Miui, I still get call dropping with wifi calls, even though I can be right next to the router. I also notice that the wifi calling icon is on and off. I never stays constantly on when in good range of the router. The preference is even set to 'prefer wifi to network' in settings. Putting the phone in airplane mode helps that problem but it's crazy having to do all these work arounds. Like you, and everyone else I just wish the issue would get fixed ASAP. I have never known any phone to have it's most obvious function fail.
You know what, Xiaomi developers knew about this problem with wifi/call drops. Of course they did. But management decided to rush the product to market to generate more sales. I feel stupid for buying a brand new phone but not in my wildest imagination could I believe they would mess up the very basic fundamental functions of a smart-phone.

Totally agree Tangoviking. I really hope someone of some importance at Xiaomi is taking note here. It's a total disgrace. Not even a reassuring mention of a fix.

I'm holding off for official mui 12 which I'm hoping its soon.
I just updated to 11.0.9.0 yesterday. So far I haven't noticed any drops but then again I haven't really used the phone for more than 1-minute duration.
Any tentative date of mui 12 release?

I too will be holding off until Miui 12, that will be the decider. I haven't a clue when it's rolling out, I thought late June but we're already there. I'm not bothering with any updates until then unless it's specific to the bugs.
More or less same issue
i also need some help. Redmi Note 8, with MIUI Global 11.09.9 Stable. The call drops in the middle of the conversation, that is, I can still hear my calling partner, but they cannot hear me anymore. It happens at random, not always but mostly, also, it happens after 1 minute or 5 or 10 minutes, not logical. Anybody? Already tried everything I think....
Redmi Note 9S - call dropping issue
I have the same problem with call dropping irregularly. The phone function is totally unreliable.
I tried many MIUI's so far:
11.0.3 (EU-official)
11.0.4 (EU-official)
11.0.4 (EU-XTRV from the Greek forum)
11.0.8 (Global-official)
11.0.11 (Global-official)
The problem persists with all of them, which means that most probably it is a hardware issue with a batch of this model.
