[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Zgadnijcie:
Hi. I want to know how max wifi speed has Redmi Note 4X. I have internet 100Mb/s in home but phone in tests shows only about 40Mb/s (max 45). When I download some files it shows max 4MB/s. It's strange because phone has a/b/g/n standard, so it should show 100Mb/s.

I get 80-90Mbs download speed via 5G wifi from a Xiaomi Mini router, which has a max ethernet speed of 100Mbs.

So no problem with wifi speed.

I have a Redmi Note 4 sd 3/32 global version.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] dimdimdim:
Hello, I also have only 40mbs at 5g channel on 300mbs link. Where to look for best wifi settings?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Zgadnijcie:
Guys I discovered how to speed up wifi speed. Go to /data/misc/wifi and open "WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini" file. Find "gChannelBondingMode5GHz=1" line. Under this add "gChannelBondingMode24GHz=1" line. Next find "WmmIsEnabled=0" and change 0 to 1. Next reboot. My wifi speed up from 40Mb/s to 80.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] FMAranda:
Hi, guys!

I see you've managed to enable the 2.4 GHz channel bonding, but, does anyone know the maximum speed that mido support? I'm using mine on a 5 GHz wifi network and it can't go above 150mbps of link speed. It's the same on both frequencies (2.4 and 5 GHz). I have other Android phones that are connected with a link of 433mbps.

I tried a lot of tweaks and none of them worked.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] crok.bic:
The SoC in the phone theoretically can support 802.11ac (2 x 2 : 1)

but the actual SoC in the phone does not support it, it's not built in (it's in WCN3680b) - only 802.11n.

The phone's SoC has a WCN3660B and it has no 802.11ac (in WCN3680B there is).

This is what the phone can do fo you 802.11n:

- 1x1:1 antenna config and thus

. ^ ^ ^

. | | |

. | | '-- 1 possible data stream

. | '-- 1 RX antenna

. '-- 1 TX antenna,

- so one antenna, the antenna has a Tx/Rx integrated switch

thus (with one antenna) there's no possibility for MIMO, nor beamforming (not even physically possible)

but that's a 802.11ac feature anyway (and as I mentioned the chip inside does not support it).

(Note: BT is using the same antenna!

You can easily experience the slowdown of Wifi connection

along with an active and traffic forwarding BT connection

because the internal switch has to switch to BT TX/RX too.)

- Long or Short GI (800ns | 400ns)

- Channel bandwidth: 20 or 40MHz (HT20 | HT40)

TL;DR - this phone's capabilities are:

..Wifi...| Freq.....|.Channel..|.Guard....|.Max. conn.speed
."type"..|..........|.bandw....|.Interval.|.(1 stream)
---------+----------+----------+----------+----------------
.802.11g.|.2.4GHz...|..20MHz...|..800ns...|....54Mbps
.802.11n.|.2.4/5GHz.|..20MHz...|..800ns...|....65Mbps
.802.11n.|.2.4/5GHz.|..20MHz...|..400ns...|....72Mbps
.802.11n.|.2.4/5GHz.|..40MHz...|..800ns...|....135Mbps
.802.11n.|.2.4/5GHz.|..40MHz...|..400ns...|....150Mbps

So all your tweaks should be supported on both the phone and the AP (wireless router, AP, whatever) side as well.

Wow, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm actually ok now that I know that mido is physically not capable to go any further. That's something I'll look into on my next phone. I think I'll PM you with a question regarding the wireless network I have setup on my home. I'll be glad if you reply me.

Hi, devs

I'm grateful for the works put in place to make our s5 more functional and interesting. I use this medium to show my gratitude to your genius abilities and skill.

Well, the bone of contention is the lack of kernel support for g900h. The kltexx community have enormous kernel support and I'm jealous about that, though its fair to say k3gx is better:D:D. I'm still learning development and currently without a laptop so plz great dev, we need ur expertise on kernel development in k3gxx. Our ROM base is large both on touch whiz, AOSP, AOSPA and AOKP but very few kernel support.

Thank you in advance:good::good::good::o
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] :
Hey everyone,

Hello everyone, i have deleted accidentally my /system/ folder with TWRP over wipe with change file system . Now i am in TWRP and my Question is how can i set an new System up or can i boot into fastboot anyway?

Any Help would be appreciated
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Devansh Bhinde:
Use mi flash tool.Try save user data option.If it doesn't work go for Clean all.Use some proper guide.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] rexisrex:
You can boot into fastboot via twrp itself. Reboot\bootloader...

From fastboot you can flash system.img from latest stock fastboot room file...

But you should know your current slot which twrp will tell you under reboot menu..

So do "fastboot flash system_x system.img" (x is the slot you will flash system = current slot where you have deleted system) . You can also just in case do "fastboot flash boot_x boot.img from the stock room file.

After flash..do fastboot reboot..it should boot into system now..

But easier way is download fastboot rom and flash with miflash tool choose save user data..

With the release of the new Xiaomi MI A1 , which is in the AndroidOne program, here in Romania it has the same price as the MI 5/MI5 S flagships

For standard daily usage, which one is better to buy? The old flagship or the new mid-ranger?

The MI A1 has a smooth stock android ROM, but a mi5/mi 5s with a custom ROM should be better? Are the MI5/5S custom ROMs stable? Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] shadowbone:
hi,

I would really appreciate if someone could help answer these two questions for me :

1. I have to revert back to marshmallow from nougat, to use xprivacy with better compatibility. But the security patch of custom roms are not latest, mostly '16.

Is it something to look out for, security wise?

2. Are open source apps actually secure as compared to closed source ones? Yes their code is open but I heard they are more vulnerable to attacks. Please enlighten me.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] juniecho:
1. newer version of os is better prepared against attacks, but marshmallow is good enough for NOW. in the future marshmallow will become not good enough.

2. it depends how well the app/code is maintained. open source means revealing more attack vectors to an malicious attacker, however it also means broader chance for the good guys to review code and find security holes and patch them before bad guys uses the security holes. more developer involved = better security generally. same principle goes to closed source code; more developers paid by the company who is responsible for the code generally means better security. thus it is not a matter of source being open or closed; it is a matter of how many active people are involved in maintaining the code and how much effort is made in keeping the code secure.
[General Questions and Answers] shadowbone:
Thanks pal.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnMichaelCost:
Just be careful of what u doing and always be update your latest security patch and android.
[General Questions and Answers] shadowbone:
Thank you for your advice But thing is cm13 for my device has its last security patch from dec 2016. And lineage OS 14.1 has latest security patch, but lacks xposed stability, especially for xprivacy, the one I need the most( because I am on No Gapps). So, that's the confusion I have.

And I completely go along with your words of being careful with what I do with my device.

After moving into a NoGapps environment I mostly use open source apps except for 2 or 3 apps whose functionality are not found in any apps on FOSS. Yet those apps from play store themselves have google analytics and measurement services in them. For a privacy freak like me, it is intimidating, I guess. :D
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
To be honest open source apps are just as secure as closed Sourced apps. The reason being is very few people are looking at either for security exploits. As for the security updates that is a personal choice. I don't put much worth to them as they are exploits that have been around since the beginning and Google is just pushing patches so they appear to be worried about security. Kinda funny coming from a company that makes its money from collecting and using personal data
[General Questions and Answers] shadowbone:
Ooo.... Interesting. I didn't look at it in that perspective (regarding google and its patches). :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] JohnMichaelCost:
Sounds familiar "android vs ios" sorry i mean open vs closed sources, the cloesd sources is very hard part for security longntime to hacked & hard finding the source "pay developer just like Apple"

Android other hand is open source is very cool unlike "cloesd sources" is updated everyday and developer are fighting against hackers to does not hacked the source

I will not to worried. Look my screen shot.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Um not its not. Android isnt open source. Only AOSP is open source and that comes preloaded on 0 devices. Everything else is closed sourced. Even Google uses closed sourced files for their devices.

Also no one is looking at open source apps. Developers dont care about open source apps. As there is no money to be made from open source apps.

As for your screen shots. They mean nothing really as any hack would bypass it as it would happen when you are using the device. A perfect example is a built in screen recorder that then loads the videos up into a server when the device is asleep (Xiaomi is known for doing this)

Mobile security really is a myth. If someone wants your info (they really dont. They couldnt care less as your personal info is worth less then nothing) they can get it from social media sites easy enough.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnMichaelCost:
you're right. Android security So really is nothing special in fact.

May i ask you about Xiaomi why they are doing this ? And google vs AOSP ?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
They are required to by the Chinese government. I take it you don't know much about how they do things. Here is a fast run down. China requires all data from its citizens to be monitored and recorded. This is part of the reason for China's great firewall. When people buy devices made for China this is something that happens.

As for Google vs aosp. Think about it this way. Why would you buy a pixel device is you can get all the same features from aosp? No money to be made there so not good business. Yes Google pushes a lot to aosp. But it is getting less and less. Heck even the base aosp apps have not gotten any real updates in years. Google wants you to use their closed Sourced apps. Allo, duo, Gmail, contacts, phone etc. If it wasn't for 3rd party developers like the ones here aosp apps would still be bare bones.
[General Questions and Answers] shadowbone:
I second your view zelendel. Although, I have to ask, not that I don't understand your valuable thoughts you posted before, but..

Now that more and more vulnerabilities are brought to light these days like the blueborne or KRACK, and google or devs here, for that matter, pushes security patches to fend against these vulnerabilities. Would you say extending privacy capabilities using root and xposed tools and some common sense while using apps :D, should suffice against threats of these sorts?

Edit : nvm. Got hold of the desired ROM with latest patch. Thanks for your input guys. :svetius:
[General Questions and Answers] JohnMichaelCost:
Just not to be worried about hacking our phone. Developer of app/google/aosp/etc. here to save us from hackers in fact maybe.....

But as for root,CFW,etc they doesn't hooked even you have gapp.

But hacking WiFi WAP so... i don't worries, just i said earlier "be careful what you doing" remember that.

If you need very privacy like "donald trump" [emoji13] so vpn your phone install x private and cover with your camera, encryption your phone and always be updated your apps/security patch and android of course.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
To be honest if I was really worried about security then root would be out of the question as it opens up doors that can be exploited. An example is a root binary that was found to work so it auto granted root to every app and removed the logs of it doing so.

The KRACK vulnerability is a whole other thing as patching a device is pointless if the router you are connecting to is not patched.

Just use common sense really. As long as Android pushes a lot of code open source there will always be issues like this that pop up. (its soo much easier to find exploits when you have access to all the code. And before you say it, no not as many people are looking for security threats as people think)

I had Nougat(L19C636B360) when I bought my phone. The box had model "AL-10" written on it although the firmware was of L-19. Anyways, an OTA update arrived, I clicked on update and it got bricked. I had never unlocked the bootloader, rooted or anything. After a lot of trial and error, I successfully got my phone working by flashing MM 6.0 - FRD-L19C900B131 through 'dload' method. But this firmware is buggy as hell. My phone's laggy, crashes constantly, the photos are worse etc.

A found a couple of stock firmware packages(L19C636B360) on the forum but they come with two separate files(update.zip and updata_data_full_hw_specxx.zip) and my phone doesn't support them(Installation fail). Also they are of only 2-2.5GB, whereas the one I successfully flashed is 3.3GB

FAQ:

Q: Can I flash over August patch without wiping data?

A: Yes, you can. However WiFi may not work. If that's your case try restoring network settings. (Settings -> More -> Restore network settings). If WiFi still doesnt work, you'll need to wipe data.

Q: Can I update via OTA?

A: No, you can't. You'll need to wait until I port the update.

Q: Does this ROM come pre-rooted

A: No, it's the A1 stock rom which doesn't come rooted. If you want root, flash Magisk through TWRP

A: Yes, you can. Just make sure you download xposed for SDK 25.

Q: Will this rom unlock 4G 800MHz band (B20)?

A: No, it won't unlock it. Mi A1 uses a different modem which supports it. Mi 5X modem doesn't.

Q: Do I need to unlock my bootloader?

A: Yes, you need to unlock the bootloader before you can install any custom ROM.

Q: How can I unlock my bootloader?

A: Apply for permissions on http://en.miui.com/unlock/ then download the tool and follow the steps.

Thank yoouuu! After waiting so long to unlock my bootloader I finally made it and flashed your rom right away. And it's working as a charm. I'm so happy I got rid of Miui 8 Chinese version and it's many bugs and problems (and occasional Chinese language notification I got no idea what it was saying). MiUi was cute and nice on a few parts, but it just seemed like an unfinished piece of software on many points (super aggressive ram management, brightness slider problem, crazily complex settings menu -especially the applications permissions one divided in three sections-).

This rom works just flawlessly for now, and I had no issue with the fingerprint reader acting as a button on my side. It's really great to see some functions works like fingerprint swipe for notifications or lock-screen notifications. Oh ! And I can finally make the google assistant and feed works out of the box without complex tweaks :laugh:

Camera is still ****ty though (especially coming from a nexus 5x) but, hey, it's a 200€ phone.

Do you have a paypal donate account so I can offer you a beer and encourage you to port the next android updates :) ?
