I have the Redmi Note 8t and having issues with the FM radio reception. The sound goes silent for 2-4 seconds and happens several times every minute. Makes it unusable. Is this a known issue and if so are there any workarounds ? Thanks
I have noticed some pauses on my phone too. I would not say that it is as bad as that, but certainly annoying..

I also posted on the official Xiaomi forum but haven't received any responses. I'm guessing that if no one is raising the issue then either Xiaomi are not aware or not considering it an issue affecting all phones.
The radio is a feature I used extensively on my last Xiaomi phone and is the one downside to an otherwise excellent phone
Just done a quick test on mine again, some stations seem worse than others. Also a lot more background noise /interference.
Nowhere near as good as my older phone was.

Mine is particularly bad on BBC Radio 2 which happens to be my usual ratio station. I have tried enabling and disabling WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data whilst listening but makes no difference. Also just noticed that it starts out "only" a few pauses per minute and gets gradually worse the more I listen. Had forgotten about this as I haven't used this feature in a while. Going to submit another fault request through the service and feedback gesture in the phone.
That's my usual station too. It wasn't too bad but only a 15 minutes test. It was worse on Smooth FM. I usually use FM when out cycling but due to the current situation I've not been out so not used it
To be honest I'm a bit disappointed with the phone... Isn't much better than my previous Moto G6
Please do post if you get any reply from Xiaomi.

Found a workaround on the Xiaomi forums. Can't remember the name of the original user though at the minute but must remember to search and post to give them credit for this fix.
The steps to follow are:
1. Install an app from playstore called Activity Launcher.
2. Modify the app permissions so that it can create a shortcut on the home screen
3. Start the app and search for "FM". You should get result like the output shown in the attachment.
4. Long press on the FM RADIO (com.caf.fmradio.FMRADIO) line and choose create shortcut. This adds a shortcut to the home screen for what appears to be a different FM radio app from the default.
5. Go into the settings and change the regional band setting to "user defined band". Set the channel spacing to 100khz, set Lower freq limit to 76khz and leave the rest of the settings as default.
6. Shutdown the app and restart and hopefully should work. I used it all day today and worked perfectly for me so fingers crossed.
Not at all stable to use as daily driver.
1 - No notifications after some times when the phone is ideal you have to open the app, like they are in deep sleep. gave all permissions like auto start, battery restriction none, no data restrictions.
2 - Bluetooth earphones gets disconnected randomly, usually when you lock unlock the device.
3 - Wifi speed degrade when you use Bluetooth and wifi at the same time.
4 - whatsapp video call are still lagging, connecting issue, other phones on the same network works fine.
5 - Battery backup degraded by at least 30%
6 - camera quality is noticeably degraded.
7 - fast charging not working with tbe official charger as well
and there are many more.
please post your work around for this bugs, it will be helpful as xiaomi is not going to launch any update sooner looking at ter track records.
I think you need to do a factory reset.
Battery is exactly the same for me as Android 9.
Camera quality is the same too.
Fast charging works for me with default charger.
Don't know about the rest.

Already did reset 3 times, thought my old google backup setting is the issue, even after setting up without restoring the backup this issues are there, specially the notification, Bluetooth and wifi issue.
I didn't noticed that many problems like you, only the battery performance lost, I went from 10 hours of screen on time, to around 6-7, factory reset from recovery didn't help, but that was enough reason for me to dare to unlock the bootloader, so I went back to MIUI 11.0.3 based on android 9, now I have my 10 hours of screen on time and I'm more than happy, the only feature I miss from android 10, was the wifi dynamic MAC address
So have you downgraded back to android 9
Can you please help me how to do so
Can't we download android 9 package from mi website and install as package in update settings?

1. Not happening here.
2. Also not happening.
3. This is normal if you use 2.4Ghz wifi + bluetooth, wifi always slow - READ WHY
4. This is Whatsapp issue, not phone specific. Try other such as Line or Duo. I only found lags on Whatsapp.
5, 6, 7. Not happening to me.
About battery, try flashing old one via Mi Flash > flash & clean all (don't lock back).

i am talking about Indian variant, various users have already raised this issues, also mi developers had confirm this notification issue and forwarded it to there developers.
2 - this was not there before day i switched to andorid 10 even after reseting 2 times i am facing this issue
3 - This wasnt the thing on android 9 that is the problem
4 - tried telegram duo, even the calls are not coming. forget about mesgs.
6 - this is also confirmed by many users
I'm in last version and Android 10 but don't have any of this problems in my phone! Performance is better than Android 9 and everything is fine! You must do a factory reset to fix this problems.
I am also on android 10 on the indian variant and I can confirm that the 1st issue which is about no notifications after some time is happening to me also. Although I don't know about the rest. About charging and battery backup, I think it is same as before.

I'm only facing the notification issue mentioned in the tread. Everything same, miui 11.0.2 android 10. All settings tested. Also tried pnf app. No use. Another symptom is when I open WhatsApp all the messages are delivered only then. Have allowed it to run in background, disabled power saving, all notification allowed, auto start permission given.
anyone noticing bluetooth mac is changed to 00:00:46:00:00:01?
maybe this causing the bluetooth disconnection issue?
I just noticed it on both of my RN8pro running Indonesian fw Android 10.
Mine upgraded yesterday throught OTA to MIUI 11.0.4(QGGIXM)/Andorid 10.
I came from the Andoird 9 and everything was good, but after the upgrade my GPS in Dual Space and Second Space can´t lock my postion.
Tried to hard reset 3 times and reflashed this ROM manualy and nohing. I still have the bootloader locked and can´t downgrade now.
I made some tests using app GPS test, in te upper screen is the "normal" app and in the bottom s the dual app that can´t lock the GPS, same thing happens in the second space.
After search a lot, people say that is better to downgrade, so anyone have this issue here or a solution for it?

I can confirm the wifi/BT bug, and it sucks!
How does Xiaomi get the feedback on this bugs? Is there still testing even though this is the "stable" version?

No, not yet. It is a pain and I will do it if it is really necessary, I'm not sure if that would work. Anyway I saw the link that someone posted earlier that this kind of interference is a common problem; I never new about it or noticed it. On my PC there is some slowing down also, but not as dramatic as on the RN8P.

So basically it is common problem for all phones or even all device's?
Is it worse on A10 that on A9?

It is very common (if you use 2.4GHz WiFi); you'd need beamforming to get over it. But not all devices are the same - it depends on device quality and antenna separation (for example, laptops with Intel/Killer wifi modules are much less affected by it, while Raspberry Pis are having serious trouble doing both at the same time).
Of course, this only applies in 2.4GHz. Switch to 5GHz, and you'll have no more problems.
When to do factory reset? After updating or before updating?
So I have been using Lenovo Zuk z2 plus from 2017. The phone worked fine till 2019 with some minor issues which all phones have. But from August 2019, these are following issues I have been facing:-
1. The app switching option which is a basic feature in all mobiles has been not functioning so I can't multitask in this mobile.
2. The quick panel which comes from bottom is not functioning so I have to start WiFi, mobile network, etc options by going to settings.
3. The WhatsApp application stops working after 2am ie it force stops and don't function, I have to start it then it loads messages.
4. All Google apps stopped syncing and don't work eg I cant download any app from playstore, my mails don't come in Gmail app, I can't use Google pay, etc.
5. My phone don't charge after plugging in to charger and I have original charger. After connecting it shows charging and stops and then heats like hell. Sometimes it drains very very very fast and switches off while charging and many times 0% battery shows and phone switches off and then switches on shows 0% battery and then again switches off. This happens many times.
6. My keyboard's 3rd line don't work. When I touch that line, it types upper line or lover spacebar.
7. My phone heats like a oven with using, without using, charging, etc.
I also have minor issues like phone is very slow, volte not working, etc issue.
So I am using original ROM which comes with mobile and Haven't done anything different than this. I am having noghat which update was given by Zuk.
Guys please help me I am in big problem due to this phone and my parents are not buying me a new phone.

Since it has been 3 years now, and from point 5 & 7 the most possible cause is your battery is dead and needs replacing..
It usually costs around 2000 rupees to change from authorized service centre.
Point number 1,2 & 6 could be due faulty touch screen.. You can download screen test app from play store to test and check if there are dead spots.. If it is touch screen issue and it needs replacing then it will be another 1000-2000 rupees approx depending if do original or not..
In this situation I would suggest you to go for new phone as there are many options available like redmi note 8 or realme 3 or 5 series which will not cost you more than 10-12000 rupees.. Which is around the same price as of this phone..
If you do get battery and screen replaced under 4000 then for rest issues I would suggest you to flash custom ROM as you would get a much better ui and latest android 10..
This phone is good to go for atleast 2021.. We have been receiving custom ROM from android 6 and hopefully with developer release of android 11 beta 2 already happened we should have android 11 support soon for z2 as well..
point 6 happened to me earlier and yes this is touch issue which can be fixed by electrostatic effect i.e. you can use lighter (for gas burner ignition or the one which can be found in cigarette lighter). Just provide multiple shocks at non touch responsive area, turn screen off, on and problem solved. believe me this trick saved my money also.
Hello,
I'm from Morocco and currently using a XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 8, (64Go/4Go), running the latest version of MIUI 11.0.11.0 Global stable with Android 9.
So i'm having this really annoying problem whith the notification when the phone is closed. So basiclly the sound of the notification should come at the time of recieving the notification but in my case there is a delay of 2 to 3 min or even more than that sometimes. And even sometimes the sound is not heard at all even with the notification is recieved. Only the light bulbe for the notification is blinking.
This problem happened especially with the Whatsapp application. Everything in the notifications seetings is on, all permission are granted, locked the app in the recent app, turned on autostart, disabled battery saver even though i don't use it at all, put no restriction on the app, turned on background data. I've tried to use different network connection still the same problem. I don't seem to find a reason why would this happend and find a solution for that. I did perform a factory reset but doesn't seem to be fixed. Everything in the begining was working fine no issue at all. I don't seem to remember when it start to happend, I've asked my freinds owning the same device if they are facing the same issue all of them denied. So the question is if all the devices have the same software that they are operating on they should have the same bug or problem if i wan't to say. But not in this case. I have not installed any 3rd party app that has to do with the battery at all.
I do use my mom's phone to test this out. The phone is on everything works perfectly. I locked the phone and the problem start. It's like ther is something that shut the notifications immediately when i close the phone (dnd is not activated also battery saver as i mentioned earlier). So if there is any kind of solution to this problem please help me with or if there is a dev please let them know to fix this issue. I did reported it in the feedback section on the phone 10 times in the time of writing this thread. I'm currently waiting for the new update hoping that it will fix the problem otherwise this is really disappointing. The best selling phone in the market facing issue like this, that's not very acceptable at all. This made me miss a lot of important notifications. Hope that it will be fixed as soon as possible.
If you want to help me and you need any more info please leave me a comment and i will send them to you (screenshots of the settings etc....).
Thanks for your time.
Stay safe.
Have a nice day.

1. Turn off miui optimization under developer options
2. Give all permissions, no battery optimization to google play services and framework. Before doing this, clear data of those apps(removes google account!).
3. Check if it's added to game turbo or not
These are some more possible solutions. After checking all those, reboot once and check if the problem is solved or not.

Hello,
Thanks for you response. I've already done what you did sggest to me but still the samething always late notification sound.
It's not added to game turbo i don't even use it and it's disabled. Google play services and framework don't have any kind of restrictions whatsoever. I don't want turn off miui optimization cuz it mess up with a lot of visuals.
I think it's a software issue. Because sometimes when i want to change the ringtone and i tap on a different one it took a lit bit of time to play it same thing when changing the notification. This problem is happening when the phone is locked only.
I'm cuurently waiting for the new update with a hope that it will fix it.
Thanks again.
have a nice day.
I haven't been on here for a while and apologies if this is has already been covered I did try a search but couldn't find anything specific, I've had my 6 pro for a while now and its running (SP2A.220505.002) build I'm still having constant call issue's with this phone, I'm reaching the point where i might have to fire it back at google as I'm suspecting a Hardware issue.
Virtually every time I make a call it disconnects, yesterday during a 15min call to my missus, it disconnected 3 times. I've tried 5g default, 4g default, wifi calling on and off, nothing seems to make a difference, I've read that the update should have fixed this, but for me it hasn't, has anyone managed to sort this out if they've had the same issues ? Or is my phone dodgy, based in the UK if it makes any difference, thanks...
