I am currently using 9.9.3 and for me it's the best Miui build yet. You need to start fully clean and format data

I hate wipe anything and installing everything again now I moved to another city with extremely slow internet ? my best friend have the same issues with wifi except the problem that doesn't turn off.

MI 8 - GPS works in google maps but not in all the other apps as WAZE, GPS tool box..

Hello everyone
I have in home 2 Xiaomi mi 8 with Global version MIUI 10.2.3.0 stable. Both have the same configs for locations, etc...
But in the phone of my wife the GPS is not working as expected. I can have it working in google maps and uber but not in all the other apps. I already check all the permissions, battery restrictions and nothing that can originate this problem.
Any idea how to fix?
Thanks
Joao
The only thing left for you to do is restore factory.
Already did !
When this happens to me, i just need to reboot phone. But it wont reboot it stuck on shutdown. Force restart helps (hold powerbutton for 10 seconds)

10.2.27.0 EEA ROM withdrawn?

After several days of reading posts that 10.2.27.0 EEA was available, I finally tried to upgrade just now.
Checked on the phone. No update available.
Went to official ROM depository en.miui.com. The latest they have is still 10.2.26 EEA.
Ended up doing the download at miblog.co. But when I installed it failed at validation saying this is beta and I need a beta authorized Xiaomi account to be able to install it.
... So did they rollback the ROM distribution?
My guess is that with the major problems during the latest Mi 9 SE update they stopped all roll outs until they have figured out the problem. Also for other Mi9 devices.
I flashed the update via TWRP and its not so good to use. Have some connection problems with it. Hopefully they fix the issues soon and deliver it new.
I am positively surprised about the .27 update. It fixed all my battery standby drain issues. Got a much better runtime now, 2 days when fully charged
Thank God i didnt install the update. The update appeared like week ago and then suddenly disappeared. I was waiting for some reviews, because my phone is running great on .26 update,although there are still some minor bugs.
I have exactly opposite experience to the Dada124's. 10.2.26.0 was very gentle to the battery, while 10.2.27.0 drains it like crazy. Yesterday it went down from 68 % to 18 % in 3 hours - 1hour watching video, 1hour surfing web and 1hour listening to an audiobook. No wonder they pulled it. Hope they fix it with next update, because this is beyond ridiculous.
I don't have battery issue with .27
Bluetooth volume is now synced with my earbuds, there is direct control.
My alarm still don't show up on the lockscreen in the morning, it's annoying to unlock the phone to deactivate it. Am I the only one with this problem ?!?

I have only good things to say about the .27 update. Slightly better battery life, pocket mode (yay!), better volume handling with different Bluetooth devices (no too lows or too highs) more devices turning up as aptX or better codecs instead of the basic SBC.

I cannot make it turn on if the upper part of the screen is covered. No need to turn off pocket mode. I tested the pocket mode very intensively and at no time however much I try or tap the whole screen or the fingerprint reader will it go to the lock screen anymore!

No you're not. I thinks it's a bug in the clock app. Workaround ist to schedule the DND mode to end in the same Minute Like your Alarm is ringing.
I have .27 on two Mi 9s, and both are experiencing problems:
- Battery drain
- Connection problems, both 4g/LTE and Wi-Fi
- Pocket mode, if exists, is enabled by default, because there is no switch on/off.
- Multiple issues with Android Auto
At least they fixed the AI button - it does pull Google voice assistant directly now.

It is similar to me
Hey, they launched 10.2.28.0 EEA!
Updating to 10.2.28.0 EEA right now.
No 28 for my mi 9 running 27 so far. Does anyone have a direct link?

OTA incremental

Thanks. No obvious difference to 27 yet
I updated to 10.2.28, no issue.
Except how can we confirm pocket mode? As someone said above, there is no on/off options. Is it enabled by default?

Cover the upper part of the screen with one hand and tap the fingerprint scanner fast for some time. Does this make the lock screen show then pocket mode doesn't work for you. It's on by default. It works well for me.

Phone going to lock screen when lost signal

I recently bought an MI 9 Lite and I am experiencing a problem with the device daily.
Constantly while in use, the phone simply goes to the lock screen. It happens most of the time when I'm driving with Waze or Google Maps, but it also happened while I was typing a message on Whatsapp with the phone in my hand.
I identified that the situation is occurring when there is a carrier signal failure, but found no explicit setting in the phone menu to lock the screen when the network goes down.
This is hindering the use of the phone and I'm even not using it as a GPS. I've found other people reporting the same situation with this model, but none of them have found a solution yet (https://c.mi.com/thread-2741448-1-0.html).
My phone is running MIUI Global 11.3.4.
Same problem on my mi9 miui 11.0.6
Maybe this bug somehow connected with google smart lock. Cause before i was update my phone from miui 10 i had some problems between smart lock, and always on display. I checked a lot of forums, but noone have no idea why this bug happens. And only on mi9 and miui 11

I only saw that when you take out the SIM card, have you tried changing your sim card for a new one?
Hi Guys.
Since I've bought my Mi 9 Lite (nov 2019), I'm experiencing this issue. I tried to update (on 11.0.3.0 Android 10 now), but the only thing that changed is that I have the signal drop and the screen doesn't lock anymore. The signal drops in many situations, but it happens mostly when I try to call someone using whatsapp. I searched a lot, but couldn't find a solution. Someone can help me?
This is very annoying.

Auto WiFi On at Home

Hi everyone, on my old OnePlus Once I got home, the WiFi would turn itself back on, even if it was turned off. Is something like that possible with Xiaomi too? I'm on MINE 12 Global Stable
I don't think so. I use "Smarter Wifi Manager" myself.
It works 100%. Maybe you should try it out?

Question Device Freezing on MIUI 13.0 4 GLOBAL.

My device keeps freezing 3 to 4 times a week after MIUI 13.0.4 global update and I would have to restart the phone to resolve the issue. I never had that issue on MIUI 12.5.9. Is anyone else having the same ???
I had some performance issues and freezes after updating to 13.0.3. Then I performed a factory reset and the phone improved a lot. I still think that 12.5 performed better, but at least it's stable again.
Mine feezes too sometimes, mostly when trying to skip forward youtube videos more aggressively. It either unfreezes after 10-15 seconds or reboots by itself. But only happened 3 or 4 times so far.
13.0.3 Global, waiting for next update
Since the V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM update I have massive battery drain, Google discovery doesn't work correctly and the notifications aren't erased when I wipe them. Any help please? Thanks
Issues with MIUI13 seems to be a lot. I am rooted and use the EliteROM MIUI13, except for battery all seems to be working fine.

Hello. I have Xiaomi mi lite 11 global. After the 13 update the battery got really really really bad after it was perfect. Did the factory reset really work?

For battery issues, I recommend checking "battery", under settings, to see which apps are consuming the most.
In my case, Google Location history and Google Play Services were the top battery consumers. I checked their permissions and found that they were set to "always allow access to location", which resulted in some mad GPS and battery use. After setting them to "only while using the app", battery became just as good as it was with 12.5.
Your experience might be different, especially since you have a completely different model.
Same issue and didn't happen before at all!
Redmi note 10, android 12, Miui version 13.0.3 (stable) updated 23 Mar2022,/Ireland
Since this update my phone has started to hang and freeze and sometimes when I wake up the phone has switched off
Frustrated
I sent feedback (Applications, Feedback) 4 times to Xiaomi and got this reply from them 3 times: ' Dear Customer: Mobile phone System lag/hang when daily use, it is recommended to clean the phone memory, close the background application, leave more running space or restart the phone, and charge it in time. Thanks for your feedback. Mi Phone Feedback Team'
It's so annoying as I've plenty of space on the phone and go change it in time. I use this phone as much as I always do - I'm not the problem here; the update is!
Anyone got solutions? I don't really want to do a factory reset...

For me the culprit was the MIUI "Security" app. I started the phone in emergency mode then went to settings, apps and deleted cache and data for the Security app. Rebooted the phone and never touch the Security app again - so far it's OK, but this is a very unsatisfactory situation.

What do you mean by
started the phone in emergency mode...
Is it the standard recovery mode?

The version of Security app is 6.2.3-220622.1.2
Another issue - maybe unrelated? - is that sometimes it takes a couple of seconds or more to turn the screen on, after pressing the power button

How did you find out that the culprit was the security app? Having the same issue here.

Sorry for late reply.
For me, I knew it was the security app because the phone showed a notification saying the security app had stopped, or something like that before it froze, but it definitely said the security app had malfunctioned and that's why I cleared its data.
Hope that helps.
