Redmi 7 after change to Global ROM can't connet to 5G WiFi and 2.4G Wifi are weak. - Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers

I purchased this Redmi 7 from JD.com. after a few weeks, I decided to unlocked my phone and change ROM to Global 10.3.4.0. But! right now I can't connect to my 5G WiFi anymore. anyone can help!? Thank a lot!

I can't tell if you're trolling but I'll bite.
Redmi 7 doesn't have any support for Wireless-AC/5GHz Wifi.

Redmi 7 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-632-mobile-platform
which supports:
Wi-Fi Standards: 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n
Wi-Fi Spectral Bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz
If the chipset can support 5 GHz, why can't this phone support it?
Is it possible enable 5G WiFi in the Kernel?

russians suggest checking this file:
vendor / etc / wifi - open the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
check if your lines look like this:
ChannelBondingMode5GHz = 1
ChannelBondingMode24GHz = 1

Thanks, I'm using AOSP Extended and 5G Wifi doesn't work with these lines :crying::
Code:
gChannelBondingMode5GHz=1
gChannelBondingMode24GHz=1

so you're using AOSP Extended or Global 10.3.4.0? why did you say you use stock in your first post?

Sorry for the confusion, I'm using AOSP Extended and the first post is from other user using Global 10.3.4.0 and I've asked here about the 5G Wifi because I don't understand the chipset supports 5G Wifi, but Redmi 7 specs only 2.4G.
Can any Redmi 7 ROM use the 5G Wifi?

Hey, where did you get that ROM? Mine doesn't do that.

Turn off bluetooth for faster wifi connection. I don't know why, but it hurts.
I get 2mbps of 25 with bluetooth on, but full 25 with bluetooth off.

[Q] Network Connection Issues

Hi,
I rooted my Desire HD in mid August (with aahk), and haven´t used Moblie Internet since then.
However i have an Mobile Internet flatrate now again and noticed that it is kind of unusable.
I have an Hsdpa connection and full signal strengh (5/5)
The Browser is loading very slowly (for example takes up to 4 minutes to load google.com),
Play store always gives me: "Error: Connection Timeout" and I receive Whatsapp message always days after they were send.
Now the Question, how can i deal with this? (However Wifi works fine) I had have this problem now for an entire Month.
(I checked if it was a problem with the Rom, but somehow it is not)
Roms i have testet since i noticed the problem:
Stock android 2.2.1
Stock android 2.3
Virtuous infinity alpha 3 Sense 4 | 4.0.3
Viruous infinity Beta 1 Sense 4 | 4.0.3
Jelly Time R18
and
ViperDHD v1.1.0 | Sense 4.1 | 4.0.4 (currently)
The Problem excists on all Roms
I can bet that its not poor network service since a friend of mine does have an Samsung galaxy note II in the same network as mine and get´s 600 kb/s download speed over mobile network.
Is it Radio related? If yes which Radio should i get?

Messenger and Whatsapp calls not working ONLY on mobile data

Hey guys.. a bit of na issue here.
I was abroad and had my roaming on (NO DATA only calls and SMS)
When I returned back home and turned on my data my Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp calls are not working on Mobile data. They work just fine on Wi-FI but not on data.
My APN is configured as it should be (checked that with my provider).
Any thoughts, advice?

good point. I have hangouts since I have gmail anyway.
i'm sure you've checked you have remaining transfer.
1. i'd turn on mobile data, turn the phone off, reinsert sim, turn on.
2. if not - reset network settings.
3. if not - https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-cellular-data-not-working-on-android/
i'd try 1, 3, 2.
Transfer (balance) checked.
Reinserted SIM. SInce it's dual sim I tried the second one. The second one is working (it's a different provider). Tried swapping cards and the issue follows card.
Reset network settings to no avail.
Tried changing APN to no avail.
Carrier keeps telling me they can't do anything. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset but I don't want to brick my phone.
Anything else I could try?
Check your settings according to mine which work fine.

Hi guys.
A few days ago I noticed that I can't see any other device besides mi box in the Mi controll app.
Anyone with the same issue?

I ever use this app either on miui or AOSP and never had this issue, try clearing cache and data and restart the app and if needed uninstall and reinstall it. The first screen you´ll have is "Add remote", then Mi TV/Mi Box and a second later they´ll appear all the other options.
Try to switch off wifi and data usage and then try to launch the app and see if it works

Didn't knew it only worked with wifi off.

Wifi can be active or not, this app doesn't need it, device has integrated an Infrared transmitter.

This is strange, try to update the app through Play Store, clearing first all data and cache. I ever use it without care that Wifi is on or off.

It did used to work as yours, I guess it started since last update.
I can't use with any kind of connection (mobile data or Bluetooth).

A50 5GHz wifi not Recognized

My A505F/DS cant connect to my mi router 3 with 5ghz band. I did some research. It can connect to other 5ghz network with high channel like 146 or plus.
But my router can do only 140 or less.
On internet i found that US version of this mobile supposedly work with low channel like 40, 44 , 53.
Is it true?
Is it possible to do anything?
Anyone?
In your router settings there is no region selection option? It should be in the wifi settings, when you change the region (locale) you will get compatible channels.

In newer firmwares 2.27.120 which's UI is only chinese, no . Ur screenshot is of older international firmware.
But the thing is, i have overcame the problem by >
1. Reverting back to old int firmware which allows to set the channel higher than 140 in 5ghz.
2. Manually set the channel to 165 . Save the settings
3. Export the config file to my phone .
4. Update to latest firmware.
5. Import the saved config file from my phone to the router.
And voila..
One thing i have noticed, the 5ghz signal strength is bad on the latest fiemware. Lol
Looks like a hardware comparability issue more than software.
Also WiFi has it's quirks, i had issues with older iPhones not able to connect to Hive AP's due to the use of CAPITAL ssid naming.
confirm problem with 5ghz. Have bug phone :|
Every country allow only few 5ghz channels (and correspondant frequencies) to be used by wifi radios so its not a bug but you need to much your phones region to your routers region (for most routers its selectable in wifi settings)
I have Connect Box UPC , and i set "auto-channel" , only on A50 make this, another phone work normal.
The WiFi country is actually read from the SIM card and not from the country of purchase, this phone is known for having broken WiFi in some countries and Samsung clueless Members bug report is a joke.

Wifi connection issue with iPhone using hotspot

Hi Guys!
This is my first post here, I wasn't aware of such form until I searched my issue with my android box.
I'm having connection issues connecting my android box to internet using my iPhone 12 hotspot.
It was working perfectly in the past until I updated my iPhone firmware.
Please have a look at my device version.
Do you have any ideas how I can fix this connection issue? Maybe needs MCU update?
Thanks!

i had something similar,
1) ensure maximise compatibility is turned on in personal hotspot on your iphone.
2) You want to remove the wifi connection for your phones wifi network name on the head unit.
3) manually add the network for your iphone on the head unit choosing wpa2-psk as the security.
it should then connect.
issue seems to be something to do with wpa3 on iphones vs the head units.

Hi,
Thank you. It doesn’t work.
I tried another iPhone and it worked.
My iPhone doesn’t have maximize Compatibility. It is iPhone 10 S.
It works on my iPhone 12 only not on the iPhone 11 S.
What should I do?
if you follow the steps without maximise compatibility, does it still not work?
Yes…. It doesn’t work.
I followed the same steps without maximize compatibility but still not working
Is there any updated version for my box ?
Mine is version year 2018
you might want to look at other roms hal9k may be compatible with that head unit.
I honestly don’t know, I don’t have much experience.
What do you mean other rooms?
Can you share with me the link to the other rooms please
i wouldn't know the link to the correct rom (software of your head unit) , if your not experiance in alternative roms i would suggest caution as you do run the risk of bricking(stopping it from working) your head unit. i'd ask around in the forums on what updates you can use.
