The phone is working well right now, but I would like to know if one day I will be able to update it.
What are the steps that should i follow in theory to find and "cook" a good ROM?
What do I need? If I will find a ROM for a similar device with the same CPU will it be enough?
Hello,
Is your B63m works well with GPS? Mine is working bad because not positioned.
B63M
Mine works good. GPS works without network available. The fix takes a while. > 3minutes without mobile network available.
I really like the phone a lot, but I have a way more serious problem.
There is an application called caivs.apk.
This application sends sms messages (2 at the time) without your knowledge to different Chinese numbers...
You can stop the application, but because of the security settings it can start itself. I don't know what action causes to start the application and what it sends in the sms messages...
So far it send only 2 messages in october and 2 in November.
Something else is the available internal memory for storage.
It is supposed to be a 512Mb RAM, 512MB ROM version, but it runs out of system memory in no time. With only a couple of applications(about 10) installed. Also when you set it to install everything to SD-Card.
When this happens you can not install anything anymore and synchronization stops.
You can find some custom firmwares here http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15960&start=0
Wifi
I have the same device , but having trouble connecting to the internet over wifi,
its connected to my router and shows in on the phone that its connected but it will not browse the internet have tried different browsers but just the same.
Router setup for WPA2 no problems with my other phones or tablet.

found a scrip to root the phone here

once rooted you can delete the caivs.apk with root explorer
Just bought my SGS2 yesterday and flashed it to KI8 and rooted it with CF-Root. Didn't actually test it before flashing but for some reason Google Talk keeps losing connection and signs in very often. Has this got something to do with the modem version losing data connection or is it happening because of some power-save setting?
Today I flashed KI4 and Google Talk has dropped offline a couple of times already. Is my device flawed?
Any suggestions on different modem versions and/or firmwares to try out? Maybe a separate GTalk client?
Has anyone had issues like this? I tried to search the forum but most topics cover connection problems via WiFi and not mobile data.
That happens to me when I don't have a strong connection. I say it's probably a carrier issue.
Then it must be a local issue. My friend has the same phone and same operator, but lives about 150km away from me and his GTalk stays connected.
Is there a way to monitor and/or log the data connection with some software?
I have also run into this problem since rooting. I can't even find google talk on my phone to disable it.

For me it didn't matter if the phone was rooted or not. Wierdest thing is that even if my buddies see me offline, I receive messages immediately when they send one.
Quick update: I found out a way to make signal bars turn green when connected to Google services. Now I can sometimes see that the bars are gray when turning the screen on. So it's clear that my phone disconnects from Google in longer standby.
Hi, I have being using the Nokia Lumia 800 since it was available in the UK (3-4 months?) and since then i constantly have problems with notifications. Basically every app that has a notification system is flawed. Whatsapp, heytell, twitter,facebook, ebuddy etc. notifications are very unreliable. Does anyone else have the same issues? Has anyone came up with any solution? I have search the forum for similar problems but people seems to have problems with specific app, not for all; or perhaps they just didnt try others.
nope, notifications work as expected

You can count me on that, notice that it (notifications) works when your phone is on charge though, I have a feeling this has got something to do with the update, Wi-Fi switches off when you lock your phone and for some reason it stops the background tasks too. I think notification also works when the mobile data (3G) is on...so I believe that it could be the Wi-Fi either a) being unable to connect b) it's somehow messed.
If you don't mind me asking, where is your wi-fi router located, and do you ever have connectiong issues? Since I do since the update.
Seemed alright to me.
I've purchased Redmi Note 3 Pro a few days ago. I'm satisfied with overall of the phone but there is one problem I'm facing.
After I quit airplane mode(every night I turns on airplane mode before sleep then turns it off in the morning), my phone won't detect the network most of the time, sometimes it detects the network but it took way too long to happen but still, it acts like there's no network. I couldn't call, sms, receive call, receive sms and use mobile data. Everytime I have to restart my phone to detect the network.
Is there any ways to fix this problem ? It irritates me a lot as I have to restart my phone everyday.
update your phone, this issue has been solved about a month ago
Yeah the new builds are much beter
Hi guys,
I also have network problems on my Note 3 Pro - but without airplane mode. My phone just randomly looses internet connectivity, sometimes completely, sometimes it drops to Edge, most of the times with a warning about roaming and data connectivity. And yet sometimes I completely loose mobile signal but a on/off airplane mode fixes it.
It's pretty irritating, I didn't have these sort of problems with my prev. phone, and I haven't visited any new places or with bad reception.
I'm running the 7.1.8.0 global stable rom.
PS: My locale is missing, and I chose Argentina on random, then disabled auto-time. Could this mess things up ?
Any input would be appreciated.

I am facing a terrible network problem with my phone too. I have used China and Global ROMs and I cannot fix the problem. I am currently using Global 7.1.8.0
My phone does not respond to incoming calls when in sleep mode. Incoming calls go directly to voicemail. It seems that it is connected to the network while in sleep mode. However, it does not respond to the incoming call.
If the phone is awake with the screen on, it shows an incoming call.
I have tested other SIM cards, switching from 3G to 2G, reseting the phone, clearing cache, disabling "do not disturb".... The problem just does not go away. It's a shame that a phone with this much potential has a basic problem like this.

Just tested, mine rings when sleeping. But define sleeping... ? When display is off for a some time ?
I am also suspecting something with the sleep mode, it usually 'switches' to Edge or no connection while in my pocket. I am also suspecting problems with the sim card, have you tried with a new one, or card in another phone ?
Otherwise I really like the phone It brought my trust back in Android.
edit: Update > Download Update and it started downloading, then restarted, installed something, but I'm still on 7.1.8.0 ...
Auto download is ON.

I define the "sleeping mode' as phone with screen off for some time. I tried different SIM cards and from different network companies (3 and Vodafone). Same problem. My network signal is extremely unstable. I like the phone a lot too. However, network signal is something so basic on a phone that it is a shame it does not work properly.
I am also facing similar issues but xiaomi people are not recognizing the issue. They are telling that it's an isolated issue. Please post here, so that they fix this problem.
http://en.miui.com/thread-255747-1-1.html
I got a new sim card, and upgraded my plan, now I have good reception, almost always LTE, sometimes drops to H+. How I miss calls when my phone's display is turned off/sleeping. I'm getting pretty pissed of with Xiaomi about this ****
So annoying
Hope we get the 7.2.2 update soon and it fixes this problem
What good is a phone if it has network issues

Got my phone yesterday and had the same problem this morning. Solved by signing out of my MI account, switching off VoLTE and rebooting. Everything works properly now. Hope this helps.

Forget my previous posts on this issue. Follow these steps as they worked perfectly for me and I had to repeat them this evening since I did a reboot.
1. Keep sim registration on automatic on both sims.
2. Power off phone.
3. Remove sim 1 and keep sim 2 (my sim 2 is 3 Mobile UK roaming. That may make a difference).
4. Power on phone. My roaming sim 2 registers immediately.
5. Power off phone.
6. Insert sim 1 (primary or local sim).
7. Power on and you should have both sims working perfectly.
8. Go to sim settings and change your preferred calls and data back to sim 1 if you need to.
These steps have worked for me twice so far. Hope it helps.
P. S. I must add that I have zero, zilch, nada issues with my Zenfone 2 running the same setup (local sim and uk T-Mobile). Love the Xiaomi so far but detest the lack of native alphabetical for the apps. Considered Nova but the free version doesn't give message counters. Any suggestions?
There is a temporary trick posted at http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=251620&page=1#pid4736228
I was having network problems and it seems to be much better (perhaps solved) with this trick.
I wish to know what this com.qualcomm.qti.supersaver does!

I am glad it helped you. Make sure you type the code *#*#995995#*#* twice after stopping the apk. I actually disabled this apk without any secondary problem.
I am running Global ROM 7.1.8.0. Still waiting for 7.2.2. Let's hope this problem will be fixed in the next update.
Hi,
I'm also facing network issues with 7.1.8.0 : when exiting airplane mode or switching from Wi-Fi to gsm network, I lose data connection. The only way to get data back is to reboot the phone.
Sadly, the trick from miui forum didn't work for me for this particular problem.
Il hope this problem will be fixed in 7.2.2.0 update.
@ mura20 : thanks for the trick nevertheless...
OTA 7.2.3.0 is here!
OTA 7.2.3.0 solved my problem !
Great

Hello guys, I'm having a huge issue with my mobile network.
For the past two weeks I've not been able to make use of my mobile network correctly, it sometimes works, but most of the time doesn't. The icon in my status bar shows there is activity, it's fully connected to 3G or LTE, even with full bars. But all my apps like Telegram, Pokémon go, Messenger and the likes are stuck "reconnecting" to the network, as if my phone doesn't have any reception at all. At some points even SMS messages refuse to send, even though I've got full reception.
I've already gotten my SIM card switched out, attempted multiple clean flashes and the issue still persists.
Phone: Oneplus One
My current firmware: 0.1.c1.11-00006-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Current ROM: idprophecy's unofficial optimized lineage-14.1-20180413-UNOFFICIAL-bacon
Current Recovery: Kutep0v TWRP 3.2.1-K2
Is there anything I can do? I'm getting really desperate.
This is my last plead on this forum, as I haven't had any response from anyone since april 25th, I've got nothing else to do but wait. Can't find anything on the internet about this issue, you're my last hope.
Have you tried flashing to stock version?
