So ok first off, i really do love this phone. I got it for the camera and for content creation and its great for it...
I had a Redmi note 4 before, and for a couple of years Ive been using a firewall since reading about a lot of chinese phones sending large amounts of data to china.
Now yes my old phone did phone home A LOT. So thats why i installed noroot firewall to keep an eye on things.
And literally every service phoned home. Many services that have no right connecting to the internet.
Now come 10t, i read that because this is an offical EU phone with EU rom and not a grey import, it should be following all the EU rules on data collection... So basically turn everything off it shouldnt contact home.
Trouble is..... even though I have turned most of the things off (outside updating service) many of the apps still phone home... Analytics, MSA DOWNLOADs, file explorer, mi remote, compass, clock security.... and other framework services. All phoning home to servers in china.
Ive not really done a deep dive into exactly what service is sending what data. But Why would downloads connect to a chinese IP every time i download something off the app store.... Or open Chrome?
Well using firewall now to keep things locked down.
Has anyone else seen this kind of activity on EU phones? Is anyone making a clean rom that remove this kind of sus activity?
That's what you have to deal with if you want to use MIUI.
Why not root the phone and flash Lineage?

Yes everything is working except DT2W.
There is minor bugs that will be fixed.
It's very stable.

Some 5ghz wifi bands aren't working
Auto rotate doesn't work
Bluetooth connection to audio devices fails after a call
Screen doesn't wake up when someone calls in like 90% of calls
Lineage Recovery bootloops
And yes dt2w doesn't work. Those are not minor bugs...

Don't know about 5ghz, I haven't have any issues with 5ghz. It's fixed in the latest version? At least it says so in the notes.
Auto rotation works fine for me. Have't noticed the issue with screen not waking up during incoming calls but I rarely receive or make calls.
I only used my bluetooth in ear for listening to music, not for calls but I se someone wrote it can be fixed by lowering volume a bit.
Lineage recovery bootloops if you flash it to recovery but if you fastboot boot the img it will boot fine every time.

That's all workarounds, that's why I say these are not minor bugs. I had all of those problems. I had 5ghz problem because my wifi router was set to a channel lineage couldn't read. Lowering volume, and turning bluetooth on/off couldn't fix it for me, only restart worked. Auto rotation and blank screen during calls were also my problems. Well to end offtopic, I'll wait for stable pe or similar rom before switching from global rom. I have pihole set up as blocking firewall at home so it helps a ton with phoning home...
ive also tried using noroot firewall, which worked fine on my old phone. but no matter the battery saver settings, it keeps getting shut down by the phone... So thats not secure.

Did you try to turn off MIUI OPTIMIZATION in Developer option?
Developer options? I can't find that...
Ahh found them... Had to enable them first... Been a while forgot about that.

Wifi turns off automatically and it's impossible to make it work again without rebooting. Am I the only one with this issue?

I have a variant of this, I've tried with both the .03 and .04 radios, it's the same, so it's not the radio itself:
I lose coverage so I get the wifi icon with the exclamation mark, instead of it reconnecting automatically. Switching wifi off, then back on, allows me to use wifi again.
I'm using the NX5 AOSP ROM, 5.0R6 (LRX21T)
We all get different experiences, but it sounds like the root cause is likely the same.
Give as much information as you can (Android version, radio, which particular ROM, usage), otherwise it's impossible to understand what could be causing the issue.

The same happens on my Nexus 10 (which doesn't have a radio as far as I know) with stock rooted 5.0.
Wi-Fi delayed list...
A very annoying bug that i am facing is when i enable Wi-Fi i have to wait more than two minutes to get the Wi-Fi network list meanwhile i might get messages like "settings are not responding" also none of the new Wi-Fi networks are saved b in to saved network list, so i have to enter wpa keys again and again....

Did you do a clean install or did you just install it over your 4.4?

once you click "flash all.bat" it formats and cleans everything, so I guess I clean flashed it.

I guess I'm just wondering if these are issues are due to not starting a clean slate. I typically try to do a clean wipe of the internal NAND whenever it's a major revision change (4.4 > 5.0).
But if the bugs are persistent for those of you who did a clean install...maybe it's better to hold off for now.
I did a clean flash all as well and have the same issue where WiFi is never turned off. Wtf google. Battery was awesome right before the update

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll hold for now.
as for me, usb tether always turns of itself when i wake/turn the screen on
stock image rooted using CF
wifi works fine
Mine would lose connectivity, meander about for 30 - 60 seconds, and reconnect. I set the WiFi antenna to 2.4Ghz (from Auto) and turned off "Scanning always available" (although I doubt the latter had anything to do with it) and it's been fine ever since. This was on a clean factory install -- no root, no OTA update; pure OEM Lollipop ROM.
Whenever i go to settings > Wifi settings the phone freezes for a couple of seconds and then it crashes. This happens like 70% of the time.
Anyone else having this ?
I dont have any wifi etc problems
Only thing i have noticed so far is the recent apps bug that shows up sometimes
--------------------
Phone: Nexus 4
OS: rooted Lollipop LRX21T
Bootloader: unlocked
stock Recovery
Bluetooth tethering between nexus 4 and nexus 7 breaks every 30 mins or so.
You have to reboot to get it working again.
Decided to take the plunge. Installed lollipop. Am happy to say that I do not have this issue occuring to me though.
yup, wifi issues for me.
Notice it when I get home, my wifi will not connect and when I go to check the settings it has been turned off. So of course I try to turn it on but everything I try does not work, I am unable to get it to turn on. Only a reboot will get wifi working again.
Not happy at all about this. and a couple of other features. Now I'm wishing I never did the update. Google you have taken my expensive smart phone and turned it against me.

It could be a combination of your router and something they've changed in how Lollipop handles networking.

I have the same issue. On my Nexus 4, I just set it to 2.4 GHz only, as 5 GHz has never worked since 4.3. I can only connect if I hold the phone up to the router. On my Nexus 7 where 5GHz actually works well, I like the fact it prefers 5GHz.
It happens mostly when the screen is off (even though I have the always on setting enabled) but also when using the phone normaly. Suddenly I get a toast that I was connected to my WiFi. I've also checked the router logs an I see that the honor 5c is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. Does anybody else have this problem? I'm on latest emui 4.1.2 without root or any other mod. I played with different channels and frequencies but that didn't help at all. Any ideas? I think it has to do with the battery optimization settings of marshmallow but even on the performance setting the WiFi connectivity just drops.
Whoever finds this will be my hero
In the wifi settings, just check that, "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to always or not. If not then set it to always.
Edit : Sry i haven't read ur post properly. Is this the problem from the starting? Coz i don't have this issue.
I think I noticed this problem since the beginning but after flashing the latest 4.1.2 it got worse. Skype and WhatsApp calls get disconnected while screen is off (after 15 seconds or so).

The problem was with the original Rom and the reason why I flashed the latest.
Exactly the same issue.

Hello,
I have exactly the same issue. I checked also dhcp mode in the developer tools.
Did you found a way to solve it ?
Changing the router solved the problem.
Are major problems solved in the latest firmware? (Restarts, wi-fi & BF dropping...)
Hi,
I want to buy XZ1 compact but I am reading this phone is restarting on its own, and has wi-fi and bluetooth problems. Can anybody please say, if those or other "critical" bugs are solved? I searched but it is hard to say for sure...
Basically I am quite depended on the phone and I really want it to be reliable. My current Motorola restarted maybe once in three years, so I am bit nervous about this.
Thanks
I'm on the latest firmware and I don't have any of that.
That said, I was on the November one for the last few months and also never had any of that.
That's the problem with forums like that, you're likely to only see the rare negatives of any device.
No issues for me.. smooth as butter.. great battery life.. LDAC working flawlessly with Sony headphones etc
Just wish I could turn the charging LED off
Also keep in mind if you unlock bootloader and load custom rom you're on your own. I havent gone that route this time and have had literally 0 issues in months
Okay, thank you, it seems it will be fine. I won't do custom rom but yeah root + xposed is a must for me.
I also got dropping WIFI. Really annoying and nothing seems to fix it.

Wifi working fine here. Check the settings on your router.
The restarts seem to be fixed. I think it was a regression with the previous one or two versions. The phone was fine, then it went from one or more a day, to none with the latest update. Wifi hasn't improved, but I did not find it that bad to begin with. Once it connects, it stays connected. It's that original connection where it sometimes decides "wifi? I don't have a wifi radio." Bluetooth is still terrible - works fine with a BT speaker, but is nearly useless with a car stereo.
Only 1 problem persists - Smart Lock don't work, it just a blank page. Can be resolved by restarting the device.
I am running Global 10.2. I got the phone on Saturday and since then I am unable to get wifi working properly. It will work for maybe a few minutes and then cut off. I have tried two different routers.
I am unrooted. Is there anything I can do apart from returning the phone or waiting until I can unlock the bootloader? TIA

I am having the same problem as you with my Mi9 very anoying works fine with the Hotspot shared from my Samsung S9+ but not all apps work via the home routers tried on 2 routers same thing MIUI update server is not reachable I also find Netflix doesn't work via home wifi from the MI9 but both Netflix and MIUI update work from the samsung phone hotspot netflix works fine from my other Android phones I own on my wifi though
Hope the fix this soon its very anoying.
Same problem for me : Wifi sharing is not working for all apps. It works for Chrome and Dropbox on my pc, but it seems some apps are not working. Those works with regular wifi. For exemple, nodeJS is not working fine.
Is the Mi9 blocking some ports ?
I got this problem too
I solve with set the hotspot band to fixed, 1 or 2.
But I have to set this every time I switch on hotspot.
Same problem
hi guys i m using the mi 9t and i have the same problem on 10.3.11, have you solved it or do u have any ideas on what is causing this stupid issue ?
happen to my mi9t today and i think it's kinda related to the co-ex problem between modem & wifi (problem not fix even rebooting the phone and restart wifi)
u can try the following step: settings-->wireless &networks --> more-->reset wi-fi,mobile &bluetooth
it works weel for me
I've got a Question, I have the Mi 11 Ultra China variant with 8 GB RAM, unlocked bootloader and the official EU Stock Rom.
I noticed that in games even if they are low quality games with low graphics, they are some random Sound Lags.
They appear also with headphones so I suggest this is a Software problem.
I also had that problem with locked bootloader and the official China ROM, so does anyone have or noticed this lag too or I'am the only one?
Edit:
I found the Problem, If I play any games with WiFi turned on, the Sound starts lagging after some seconds , but with mobile data, everthing works perfectly.
Any solutions for that? I tried different WiFi connections and it only happens with WiFi turned on.

I dont think so, every app uses mobile data or WiFi, depending on what if have turned on
This seems for me like a Bad connection, but my Phone is the only device atm and I had never such problems like this in the past with my Phones

Okay so it only happens when you play online? Like with other people on a server? If that's the case i would guess you have a bad internet or wifi connection. So the phone wouldn't be the problem.

Even in Games that have no online play, just Serversided, I got those Lags and in offline games too.
And I know that I have got a very good connection in my country so that wouldn't be the case.
The phone itself is also new so the phone is not the problem, Software I would say
The thing is, my mobile data Connection is worse than my wifi connection.
It is not really the best, just for WhatsApp and so on
I'm out of ideas. I googled a little and other people who had such problems had either bad net latency or something running in the background. I agree that it seems to be some software problem but it's strange that it only happens with active WiFi.
I think it's Software related because my gf got the Mi10 and she has no Problems with WiFi connection turned on.
Let's hope that this will be fixed in the future.
I will Report that to xiaomi.
If someone finds a solutions, they can share them here.
So little Update from me,
Some of my Games that I play had an Update and all of them which had that Sound Problem with WiFi turned on have been fixed.
So NOW I would say it's a third Party App Problem or maybe a Android 11 compatibility Problem with some newer Devices.
