[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] coeniekok:
I've had the Redmi Note 7 for a couple of days now and I've picked up some issues. It would be good to know if anyone else pick up on this or found solutions.

1) Google Maps causes GPS to lose lock if 4G network is in use:

I've set the "Preferred Network" setting to "Prefer 3G" (instead of "Prefer LTE"), then Navigation works flawlessly.

I've used the "GPS Test" app from the Play Store to test if the GPS actually works while connected to a 4G network - it does actually lock. The moment Google Maps is launched, GPS loses lock and GPS Test app reports much lower SNR values.

[UPDATE] I also tested this with Waze and the same issue is present. All is fine with 4G enabled until you start navigation - then GPS loses lock...

[SOLVED] 2) Gmail and Outlook push notifications seem to not work - no matter what settings I change:

I've Googled this problem and tried all the suggested settings for making it work - like setting battery optimization to "No Restrictions" and allowing all types of notifications and setting it to be "Important" instead of "MIUI decides", also locking the apps in the recent apps view. Nothing that I do makes it work. (Whatsapp notifications work though.) Outlook has a "Test push notifications" button that just throws an error when pushed...

[*NOT A* SOLUTION] I got fed-up trying all kinds of settings so I did a factory reset, miraculously got it set to English again, installed all the Google stuff and installed the latest Google Play apk that I could find (simply updating didn't work). Push notifications work now and the "Test Push Notifications" function in Outlook actually returns a "Success!" prompt. - This worked for a day or so....

[SOLUTION] I installed the PNF app (Push Notification Fixer) to make push notifications work...

Any confirmation of the above issues (and possible solutions) will be much appreciated.

Install or reinstall Google services seems to fix the GPS problem, ( it's work for me)

I'm using this link :

https://www.androidexplained.com/redmi-note-7-install-google-play/

Now, I have quick GPS fix with 4G/LTE enabled!

So perhaps it's simply an app bug?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] coeniekok:
Thanks for the info.

I'll try re-installing Play Services tonight (when I'm back on WiFi). I have installed a newer version of the Play Store than was installed by that Google Installer - to make push notifications work (for a day). Now I had to install the PNF app to make push notifications work permanently :-/

Problems with Redmi note 7

I am using redmi note 7 from a couple of days. Problems that I noticed are:

1) proximity sensor not working properly. I did check in CIT test, its not responding. When i restart phone it is working.

2) when someone accepts your call then phone should vibrate. But mine is not vibrating. I have done a check over settings, in settings it is there that phone will vibrate when someone accepts your call.

3) I have problems with touch also. It is responding to every rubberized things like earphones wires, my backpack etc. My previous phone don't do that.

4) Phone is unable to block unwanted gestures while placed in pocket. For example when i am talking in a call while placed in pocket using earphones, my call is getting cancelled due to these unwanted touches with cloth of pockets. This will also come under proximity sensor issue.

So far everything is great, after factory reset that is, since before it was so laggy that I was pissed off enough to bring it back. But since factory reset, everything is fine. Still encounter occasional stutter here and there, but updates will fix that, I guess.

P.S. camera on this is phenomenal.

I'm struggling with the exact same issue (highlighted) here, using Redmi Note 7 as well. When I'm using my bluetooth earbuds and the cellphone is in my pocket, something is making the music stops for less than a second and then again and again until I stop walking. First I was thinking that could be a bluetooth connection issue, now I'm afraid that it is like you said, a touch or proximity issue. I don't know what to do.

Notifications are bad, took me so long to get Gmail to work!

Also my ambient display just doesn't work at all.

WhatsApp keeps not acknowledging contacts.

This is my 1st time on miui and I really regret it, the os just messes with every single app!

I figured this helps somewhat:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] evil-google:
When I receive or make calls, the remote end experiences a lot of echo.

The work around is to turn off the speaker phone when making calls or receiving calls.

Another issue is if I use headphones then I get local echo!!

It appears the problem could be due to the fact that I have a Chinese version running Global ROM - not 100% sure but it appears to be so.

I have same thing going on, my SOT time is around 8 h
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] KMILO_PARRA:
It turns out that the problem is because MIUI does not activate the proximity sensor when the smartphone is turning on.

To force MIUI to ALWAYS activate the sensor at each start, we can do two things:

1- Always have "Automatic brightness" activated

2- Activate the "Pocket mode" (the best choice)

After applying one of these situations, it is necessary to restart the phone.

Only by activating the pocket mode it is no longer necessary to have automatic brightness activated all the time.

In the video I show how to activate the "pocket mode"

Change region to United States/America and restart phone, sound output volume is limited under EU laws to prevent hearing loss, changing the region to United States removes this limit, your music will also be louder!

[HTC Startrek] AllTheWay:
Ok I did a quick search on the forum and I couldn't seem to find if anybody else had this problem.

I recently purchased a used HTC Qtek 8500 from eXpansys / Mobileplanet.

The only problem I have with the phone is that the external screen is white and won't change to anything else no matter what settings I make the change too. Obviously the screen is getting power to it but I don't have any other display other then just a white screen. See attached picture

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Startrek] lewnetoons:
try a hard reset

push and release the power button, then quickly push and hold the left and right soft keys ( the buttons over the green and red buttons) when instructed press "0".

may or may not work, but worth a shot.
[HTC Startrek] sujahat:
you may even consider opening the phone and reseating the connector of the display.. this happened a week ago to my keypad.. when it was not working.. and then after trying alot.. i noticed that when i pressed 4 hard i use to get the light.. just opened 2 screw's and removed the cable and put it back.. as good as new :)
[HTC Startrek] AllTheWay:
Tried a hard reset as suggested.

Even tried flashing another ROM.

No difference still has the External White Screen. Anybody else have any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] guiguilein:
Hi everyone,

For the short version i 'd like to know if there is a possibility to skip the lockscreen password when launching a non-stock camera app for the lockscreen shortcut ?

For the longer version :

It all started 6 month ago when i updated my S7 (exynos) with the Oreo update (via OTA). Short after this update, i started to notice some picture taken with my stock camera app were really bad, like compressed for MMS.

The phenomenon seems kinda random and can appear on any light condition (even outiside with good daylight). I factory reseted my phone but the problem remain.

So after a while living with this issue, is installed recently a GCAM prot for S7 which seems to give way better quality than stock (need to be confirmed in the long term). I decided to replace the stock camera app on all the shortcuts on my phone (launcher and lockscreen). And here comes my question :

The password skip function when launching stock camera app is really handy. so is there a way to have the same function on any camera app ? (i would love the same function with the calculator app ^^)

Am i the only one facing stock camera quality issue since oreo udate ? i found no thread in the forum.

Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
You can chose any shortcuts you wish for the lock screen which bypass the screen lock to use, look on the lockscreen setting menu.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] guiguilein:
Choosing the shortcut is not my problem.

Right now, the only shortcut that skip the password screen is the camera. Even the default phone shortcut doesn't do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] guiguilein:
And I don't have any option in Lockscreen settings to choose which app bypass or not
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cippi21:
You have an odd problem I always use the default camera app from the lockscreen and the quality is the same as launching the app from the home screen....I'm guessing is working properly when you lunch it from the launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] guiguilein:
Hi, unlickily the quality problem is the same. I first started to trying to solve this problem first. But since i was unsuccessful I'm now trying another app

I'm going to go through your method exactly, but I'm curious... (and this is probably a stupid question that's already been answered somewhere else) why can't we flash TWRP?

Is it just me, or is the process of manually applying SuperSU to the system image a huge pain?

Are we looking at the same thing?

I'm wondering because I just went through this process and now the tablet won't boot. It's stuck at the "fire" logo.

So where did you get your OTA file?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] t0x1cSH:
my guess is that you probably created a wrong symbolic link for app_process, the command should be something like:

ln -s system/xbin/daemonsu bin/app_process
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cybersaga:
I did create that. I kept track of all the commands I typed. But I remounted the image to check and it's there:

root@osboxes:~/Desktop# ls -l system/bin/app_process
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 8 17:09 system/bin/app_process -> xbin/daemonsu
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] t0x1cSH:
Should be (straight from the device)

try to clear the cache from the recovery (power + volume down) and remember to flash boot.img from the recovery, if you forgot it the tablet will hang on the amazon logo
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
If adb isn't accessible, you'll need to go for the shorting method. As t0x1cSH pointed out, use the zip-file from that thread. Running bootrom-step.sh should be enough to recover your brick.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cybersaga:
I assume you mean "wipe cache partition"? I just tried that and it's still stuck at the Amazon logo. Although it's different in that after a while the logo disappears for a couple seconds, then comes back. Before, the logo was just steady on (although it was still in some sort of loop - I could hear the connect/disconnect sounds from my laptop)

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

So where did you download your OTA package from? I want to make sure it's the same thing I used.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] t0x1cSH:
from the amazon website back in july 2018, i always keep the ota/firmware that my devices run on. but should work with the latest OTA just remember to flash the boot.img back when you flash system

sudo fastboot flash system <your system img>
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cybersaga:
Ok. Does yours have an "app_process32"? I noticed that the old app_process (now "app_process_backup") was a symlink to app_process32.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 8 18:05 bin/app_process -> /system/xbin/daemonsu

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root 2000 13640 Nov 12 12:46 bin/app_process32

lrwxr-xr-x. 1 root 2000 13 Nov 12 12:46 bin/app_process_backup -> app_process32

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

And do I need to re-flash boot.img the second time? I didn't, since I already did the first time around.
