Android 10 : No more 5Ghz WiFi hotspot ??? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi everyone
Did anyone notice that since Android 10, tethering a 5Ghz hotspot is no longer available ?
On my phone the option to change from 2,4Ghz is greyed out in hotspot settings !
And also it seems to me that we could manualy set WiFi chanel before... No ?

Works fine here.

Ok, I found this :
https://piunikaweb.com/xiaomi-devices-wont-support-5ghz-wi-fi-hotspots-band-1-in-many-regions
According to this, it shouldn't work in Portugal, but it dates from december 2018, and laws may have changed.
But here in Guadeloupe (France) I know it still worked at the beginning of this year (on Android 9)

Never noticed not working...

Well, I investigated a little :
When I restart the phone and go straight to hotspot settings (without activating it) the 5Ghz option is then available and I can select it.
But then when I activate 5Ghz hotspot it deactivates itself after about 2 seconds.

[Q] Wifi doesn't work

Hi there,
Today I recognized that my wifi doesn't work. I can switch it on an there is also a massage that there is a wifi network available in the notification center. But if i open settings/wifi the phone writes no wifi networkes available.
My Z1c is rooted (KK .757) and locked bootloader.
Has anybody a idea how I can solve this problem?

This happens to me sometimes, after a restart works for me. May be next update may solve this problem
I've already restarted 3 times but doesn't help.
You can try: 1. restart your router
and 2. delete the settings for your network in your Z1C and make a new registration.
Is the problem solved?
I think no.1 will solve the problem. What a router do you? Many routers can do a automatic restart after flashing DD-WRT or Open WRT. These firmwares are available for the most routers.
greetings
What do you mean with 2.??
I've already tried to restart my router. But I'm pretty sure that the problem isn't the router because I can connect with other devices to the router.
go to settings - WLan and tap long time on your network and delete it.
It does not matter, that other devices can connect to your router.
I had the same problem with a TP-Link router after few days running. A restart helps only.
Delete the network doesn't help too.

Usually I find also the wifi networks of my neighbours. But now I don't find any wifi network.

For sure you have problem with your router since low cost routers is nothing than an s***t ! I had the same trouble with an low cost router until I come back with an good Dlink DSL2740B router 5 years ago, everything working flawlesly constantly ~5 years, no wifi isues! My sugestion to you is to buy an good home router! I have plan to bye this one http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/connect/routers/dir-880l-ac1900-wifi-router which will work for sure perfectly next 5 years (probably more)!
I've solved the problem already. The problem wasn't the router.
I had to wipe DATA and then my WIFI worked again.
Then I tried to restore a backup what I've made befor but then wifi doesn't work any more.
So there was something buggy with my DATA..

the K5150 is NOT working stable. the connection will crash when driving (handover problems) and switching from 4g to 3g and back. tested for 10 days.
/chris
do they configure the APN automatically?
do you see mobile data settings in android settings by default or only after connecting the USB LTE stick?
does it power up when unit turns on?
how long till connection is established after boot?
i'm also looking for a working LTE stick for a Xtrons PX5 octacore 4/32GB with 8.0....even their own Xtrons accesory is used as hotspot, not mobile data mode.

hi,
unfortunately NO LTE stick is working native at this moment. only 3g/2g sticks are working. the best working device is the Huawei E173u-1 and E173u-2 AS NATIVE MOBILE CONNECTION (be sure you run Firmware 11.126.85.00.209 on E173; link in post 1). the connection established after ´wake up´ in 20 sec and shown in the status bar. pls. do not use usb extention-cables to connect the stick. the surfstick use up to 300mA und will crash when the USB cable is over 1m.
at this moment (mar2019) i´m working on a custom firmware for Huawei E398 LTE stick for native working on PX5 devices based on malaysk rom oreo. Hal9k ROM Oreo and mobile connection is NOT WORKING STABLE.

i spent 2 hours with a guy selling USB modems and we tested over 30 models
i am running dec '18 official FW on an Xtrons PB88UNVP and i can confirm also no LTE stick working.
Couple of 3G/H+ sticks working perfectly: Huawei E173, E1750, E3131, K3770, K3772 and ZTE MF190
No other ZTE modems worked.
The Xtrons is totally missing mobile data connection settings in the network menu, don't know about other boxes.
Some sticks do get signal icon but no negotiated 3G network (guess due to auto APN missing), others appear as ethernet-over-usb i think, there's an icon like <...> appearing (instead of signal strength & 3G), but no working internet connection.
I am using a E3131 (21.6mbps) stick now, works just fine, it's a visible improvement over "older" E173 sticks with 7.2mbps rates.
i also tested many of the models you tested... many of them are functionality...BUT: when driving, the handover will NOT WORK with the most surftsicks.... it´s not a problem of the host (android headunit), it´s a problem of the sticks: they don´t support roaming/handover..... you can see this by driving around in your car; the 3G symbol is lost, but the carrier of the mobil-signal is good. after reconnecting the surfstick you get a 3G sginal again> that´s bull**** :crying:
only the (good old) E173 will do the handover/roaming perfectly. i think it it does not matter a high transfer rate in a car android system. you do not use youtube, etc.... you need the mobil connecting for ex.: navigating, ´blitzer.de´, traffic announcement. but in germany we will lost die 3G/2G support in 2 years. SO we have to find an LTE solution... and i´m working on it.....
/chris
edit: you have to install ´malaysk ROM´ on your headunit. the stock rom is crap... so many missing functions (like mobile support,vpn, ROOT(!!!) ) i can confirm, the custom rom works 100% stable (version 3.2 from malaysk). also you have so many extra features: a PERFECT sleep mode after ACC off with full control of the sleep-mode (an extra menu for stop and restart apps on wakeup; like an ´autostart´), and,and,and....
hmm, i just realized that if you use the Agama launcher, you can set it to show the mobile connection icon (top left).
Then if you click on it, you access the mobile data connection settings of Android...LOL?! You can see/configure the link speed, APN details, etc....
That's not accessible from the default launcher or normal android settings (on the official 8.0 FW)
Can anyone test this?
And what do you mean by handover? Between carriers? Networks speeds? Cell towers?

this is not a "problem" of the launcher... the mobil-settings only shown, when a mobile-device is connected....
the setting are in the regular "connections-menu".....

no, they're not in the regular connections menu, either with or without a mobile device connected, at least not on my unit. I only have Wifi/VPN/etc....nothing on mobile connection. Furthermore, the whole system menu theme is black with white text, but accessing the mobile settings via Agama as you can see is black text on white background. So i think on the official ROM the settings are not "call-able" from default menu, they're hidden and somehow Agama opens them.
and so far, the E3131 works perfectly, starts in 10-15 sec after ignition, the box gets connected automatically to 3G, works nice. No 3G icon dropouts or connection interruptions.
so, can anyone with a PB88UNVP box (or any xtrons android 8/8.1) confirm this behavior?
this could open possibilities of other modem sticks (i had a few with this behavior) that were recognized by the unit (signal strength bar appears) but no auto-APN settings created (no 3G/LTE icon besides the signal bar, therefore no active connection)...
today confirm: HUAWEI K3772 - HSPA USB Stick...

i solved this problem otherwise.
i bought a mifi, like https://www.mifi-hotspot.nl/huawei-e5785Lh-22c-lte-advanced-mifi-router-300-mbps-var
i put a simcard in this and made a always power on connection to it, so its always recharging.
then i just use wifi to connect
i have 4g everywhere now.

i confirmed already in post #8 a whole list of modems that are working.
did you check if the factory 8.0 ROM on the PX5 shows the mobile data network settings?
Have you tried to enable Voice on 3131?
I use extended dashboard from http://huawei.mobzon.ru/ and also being able to disable dashboard showing (eg. CD Rom Driver disable which speed up connection time on HU) things I tested is that can easily receive/send SMS any have full access to phonebook.
Too keep on topic. You can easily access Modem menu by entering "4G" in search help and it will be started if Modem is detected as available.

Connectivity issues

Hello,
I have the global version of the mi9SE and experiencing very annoying issues when trying to access certain websites OVER MOBILE NETWORK (WIFI works) which returns errors as per attached screen shots, reporting certain sites (banking particulary) as can't be found or offline.
I temporarily managed to fix the issue by changing APN settings from IPV6 to IPV4 as per a suggestion on the forum of my French network carrier. Unfortunately with the update to android 10 and MIUI 11 erased these settings and now 4g or 3g for that matter simply fails to connect over IPV4 setting after update so I’m back to square one which is immensly irritating.
I can’t work out if this is a carrier issue or a software bug. I’ve tried the following :
- Changing Sim to another phone. No problems there.
- Changing browser. Both chrome and edge are the same as well as the native browser.
- Contacting bank who tell me issue not unheard of but have no solution.
- Contacting my carrier who claim not to have an answer.
I haven’t tried another sim in the handset.
Help would be much appreciated.
Hi
I also use French carrier, bouygues, using android 10 miuimix, just tried ing website and it works fine through 4g.
Have you tried a different ROM? You should have a menu to erase connectivity data in settings may be it could help

Hi thanks for your reply. Vey strange, I too am on Bouygues network and ING website doesn't work for me.
However I must point out that it is the secure part of the website that doesn't work so logging into the "espace client" part of the account, the home page DOES work. Same for you or not ?
I don't understand how it can only be me experiencing this issue which I've had for months now despite doing a factory reset, formatting etc. I'm using the stock global rom OTA from Xiaomi. I surely shoudln't have to flash another rom to get a working phone. I take it Miuimix is a ROM you're using on the Mi9SE ? Just how stable and secure is it ?
tks
MY WIFI hotspot won't work either. It connects to the network but refuses to connect to the internet. No such problem when placing the same sim into another phone and setting up the same hotspot. Could this be a problem with my device hardware I wonder ? I haven't done anything in particular...but these issues weren't there when I first bought the device.
For Hotspot I guess it's related to Android 10 update...
Just tried the secure part of the ing website and indeed it doesn't work for me neither on 4g. But Hotspot works fine.

Great thanks so much for trying at least I know it isn't just and so can conclude an issue with MIUI and the phone. Strange how adjusting VPN settings to IPV4 used to work but now doesn't. I fear the issue is embedded into the OS and I'll probably never find a solution . Wouldn't be so bothered if this was the only site but it's not. I first thought it was just a problem with the websites, then realized it wasn't when the same sites worked over WIFI.
As for the WIFI hotspot issue, still no solution to this problem. The same sim is fine in my Motorola and connects to the internet perfectly over 5ghz band. If I try 5ghz band on the SE, windows simply reports "unable to connect to the network" and over the 2.4ghz the device network will connect but reports "no internet".
It doesn't sound as If the two issues are related from what you say. Is it possible it's the windows firewall blocking the Xiaomi but not the motorola ?

Question Wi-Fi Calling

Living in 2022 without having a Wi-Fi calling is a big problem!
I've searched everywhere in the internet and inside the phone settings,
And even downloaded apps from Play Store that enters the Wi-Fi calling settings, enabled the Wi-Fi calling option but still not working.
And possible fix ?
Required:
1. Carrier Services on the phone.
2. Your SIM provider provides this service.

I'm with 3-UK and have enabled WiFi calling in setting it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I have contacted 3 and they assured me it's all good on their side. I believe this is software issue more than anything at least in my case, not sure about other countries. I regret getting this phone , looks good but performance is very poor , hopefully next big update solves all problems.

Question 5Ghz Hotspot Problems

Hey,
Wondering if anyone else is having problems with 5ghz Hotspot wifi tethering? I can activate the setting but I can't always connect to it with my other devices. Most of the time it works the first time I activate 5Ghz hotspot, however if I toggle it off and then back on again, it won't work anymore until I restart the phone. The UI will show me that the hotspot is active but my other devices won't be able to find it.
I've tried it on multiple roms including a fresh install of the latest default MiUI rom, all with the same problem. I saw posts on reddit claiming that it could be a UK region bug and to try change the region to France but this doesn't solve the issue either.
2.4Ghz hotspot works everytime, however is a bit slower than 5Ghz, so I'm keen to try and get this issue resolved.
Any help is appreciated.

Yeah I understand that, however that doesn't explain why the hotspot works the first time, and never again until a device reboot.
My other devices support both 5Ghz and WPA3.
