[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] theozmoz:
Hello,

I have an issue with my Mi MIX 2S. When somebody calls me, they complained because they have a big echo of themselves and its very annoying for both.

If i lower the volume, its better for them but I cant ear them through the speaker.

Some problem in speaker mode. No problem on heatset+mic.

I think when call start, speakers is too loud and both mic sensibility is to high. So if there is a voice cancaling option, it doesnt work correctly or mics are too sensitives.

I contact Xiaomi, no answer to the problem and they wont take the phone because its no longer under warranty.

I contact other users through Xiaomi Forum, some people is having this issue with Mi Mix 2S but also other Xiaomi phones. No real solution and people with this is geting bigger.

I bought the phone just before the official rom goes to MIUI 9 to MIUI 10 (november 2018). I thing, not sure, i didn't have the problem before MIUI 10.

Actual System info :

MIUI Global 10.2.2.0 Stable

What I have done with no solution :

Factory reset = did not solve the problem

Install new official ROM erasing all data. I tried V10.0.2.0.ODEMIFH, V10.0.6.0.PDGMIFH and V10.0.9.0.PDGMIFH = did not solve the problem

Root + TWRP + fallowing this tread [FIX] In call echo and noise from top mic pocophone + Magisk module = did not solve the problem

https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/themes/fix-noises-echoes-mic-t3886049

For this last one, wizard8400 modified the XLM \vendor\etc\mixer_paths_overlay_static.xml

I supposed that the POCO will have the same directory than MI MIX 2S but no. Or I dont know how.

In TRWP > Advanced > File Manager > Vendor

> lib64

>hw

> (list of .so files)​

>compatibility_matrix.xml

>manifest.xlm

Or In TRWP > Advanced > File Manager > Data > Vendor

> Audio > acdbdata > delta > files no XLM

> other files > files no XLM or no files

Anyone have solved this issue or can help me ?

Or how to find, if it exist, a similar file as "mixer_paths_overlay_static.xml" to redefine mic and noise cancellation settings.

Thank you

Hi.

I experience the same problem,when its a good voice connection...i have to lower the volume.Sad situation.I think its a design flaw,speaker to close to mic,resonating materials,something like that.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] theozmoz:
I have pass the issue of injecting the XLM.

I'm trying different settings as mention by wizard8400 on this tread.

No success for now, I'm asking help in his tread also.

Anyway, if it can help some one to have access to VENDOR, is very simple in fact :

- Need to install TWRP

- In TWRP go to MOUNT, select VENDOR and go back to main screen

- Go to ADVANCED > FILE MANAGER

- VENDOR/ETC/ xlm files are availables
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Dadovvv:
Unfortunately this is a hardware issue but don't know yet is it main mic or noice cancelling mic problem.

My brother have same problem, i order new replacement microphone (5€) and waiting to replace for him, i will report if changing main microphone fix problem.

It can be also problem with ruber band around microphone if not fitting good sound from speaker can leak inside and create echo sound.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] theozmoz:
Yes please, report if it's a hardware solution.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] solmer:
Hi there!, bad news from me. I've ordered the same replacement part (and also the speaker which is over the mic part) and the echo didn't dissapear. I've not mounted the speaker part as you can see i my picture it doesn't comes witht the micro connector (red circle in the picture) which I suspect that deliveries the sound from the main mic to the earpiece, I'm asking for a refund of the part. I've tested the new parts calling my daughter and she told me that the echo has decreased but still there. My bet is that the problem is on the earpice. Why? 'cause if I use the headset or the external speaker the problem dissapears. I have to say that my phone has a very small crack at the lower left corner too.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] solmer:
Hi, I'm almost sure that the problem comes, as another member said, from the top speaker (earpiece). I've tried to fix it cancelling the echo mic (using software) but when I try to edit the file I've saw that it's already with the suggested values <ctl name="DEC8 Volume" value="0" />

<ctl name="DEC7 Volume" value="92" />

Now the question is...how to disable the cancellation mic (hardware level)? It's so dangerous to desolder it since it's a and part and the risk of damaging the board is high....Any ideas?

Let's try to find a solution
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] theozmoz:
Thank you for your feedback Solmer.

I'm fallowing the other thread on the Poco where you posted.

The 10.3 is out but I'm unable to install due to the ROOT.

As I Said and as you tried, there is a code line that we are missing because I tried every value possible on the codes given on the poco thread.

As you Said, sound is capturer by the top mik from the top speaker that is not well encapsulated. We need to find thé code to disable thé top mik.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] solmer:
Hi Theozmoz ! yeas the 10.3 is out, I've tested today with no luck, I can confirm that 10.3 doesn't fix the echo bug. Same here...no luck with the code :crying:

I've tried even to put a small piece of gummy tape in front of the top mic with no luck neither....Sometimes the echo starts and it's the same along all the calling time...other times it goes down after a couple of minutes (but doesn't dissapears...). We need a solution :crying: I've bought mine 2 weeks ago and want to use it but first i need to fix the echo. Mine is 2nd hand but the problem is present inn new ones too
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Fr3dY:
Could you please confirm this bug at https://c.mi.com/thread-1894332-1-0.html ?

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] solmer:
Hi there!, sure right now...let's try to find a solution....Now I'm on Revolution OS v9.3.7 with a firmware who somebody posted ona a TElegram channel, the echo has become lower but not fixed 100%

Anybody solve this issue?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] qmilch93:
I had the same problem when i had Pixel Experience ROM installed. Everyone did say they can hear themselves and that the quality is very bad.

I flashed the latest MIUI Rom a few days ago and now I have normal quality again. How can this be? Did someone Experience (lol) this too? Want to go back to a custom rom but on custom roms I have this issue which I don't have on MIUI based ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] hocuspocus69:
I can confirm on miui 10.3.2.0 editing \vendor\etc\mixer_paths_overlay_static.xml seem to solve echo caller problem

Thanx
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Kubis01:
Can you help please how to edit?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] hocuspocus69:
you need ROOT

with a file manager

go to \vendor\etc\mixer_paths_overlay_static.xml

then follow https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/themes/fix-noises-echoes-mic-t3886049

personally i'll use <ctl name="DEC8 Volume" value="40" /> to mantain a little noise cancelling

don't use magisk module i think it was made for pocophone

better to edit directly it

CHEERS
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] qmilch93:
do you know if it 's possible to do this on custom roms too?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] hocuspocus69:
I don't know sorry but i think it's not a dangerous item(bootloop or brick) as you edit it in right format...so try it but wait a couple of day of use before to toast at it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ninikninik:
This device suffers from huge connectivity problems since january updates:

http://c.mi.com/thread-1896725-1-0.html

Some people reports echo, some can't hear caller etc. LTE disconnects and can't reconnect. Phone acts like it has damaged modem.

There were no problems in ROMs before january, I tested few ROMs, some claims that AOSP are better, others that they have much smaller range etc.

Hope that xiaomi will fix that.

Hello,

Repumping this thread. Did someone install the new MIUI 10.3.3.0 for Mi Mix 2s ?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ChadH42:
Before I went to sleep last night I checked for an update to my unlocked SM-975U1 and sure enough G975U1UEU1ASBA was pushed via OTA. It contains a bunch of fixes and February's security update.

The full ODIN file is up on SamFirm as well.

Go get it and enjoy!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] plastik46:
is there an odin ver that can flash this on an att phone?

Check with SamFirm.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
So I've noticed my AOD isn't turning off at all. While I do have it set to "Show Always", it should still turn off after a short time if the proximity sensor is covered., as was the case with the S7, S8 and S9.

Could you guys please confirm if this is the case for your AOD too? Turning the phone face down or put it in your pocket (or just cover the top half of the display) for a few minutes, see if the AOD turns off. Let me know if anyone sees it turn itself off.

You have to have AOD set to "Show Always" for this test to be valid.

I suspect this could be a bug which Samsung might need to be made aware of, hence my request for others to test. Unless I'm missing something VERY obvious. Or Maybe this is by design? :eek:

Thanks :good:

EDIT: thinking about this further, I reckon the proximity sensor is only active while it's flashing, such as when a call is being made. Because it's a "behind the display" type sensor. So maybe they made a trade off with AOD?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GialanG:
It's a sad news for you. S10+ doesn't have a proximity sensor as a trade-off for the screen (sounds ridiculous?). And some features are like sh*t due to the lack of proximity sensor. I don't know if I can go through with this so-called flagship
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Ummm, of course it has a proximity sensor.....

Try making a call to someone (use voicemail if you want). You'll see a little white flashing dot to the left of the cameras, near the battery icon. This is the proximity sensor: https://hothardware.com/news/blinking-white-pixel-samsung-galaxy-s10-feature-not-bug

Try covering it up while in a call. The display will go off. Because you just covered up the proximity sensor. Because they do have one.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GialanG:
No it's not. Can you check it on your phone with *#0*# in the dialer or any proximity checking app? The result is always 0.

I had troubles with the double tap to wake and the show fingerprint features, and sometimes with calls when my phone behaves abnormally. Then I checked and it turns out that S10 doesn't have a proximity sensor. Samsung did other things to replace the proximity sensor's function, but it has been much worse than before
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Lebrun213:
tried it on a S10E, the AOD always stay on even when in pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vintagerock:
Can confirm on my s10+. AOD does not turn off in my pocket or laying face down.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Ducatimulti:
did anyone notice the werid little flashing spot above the the signal bars? that`s the only place where when I put my finger over it the screen goes off during call
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Seriously, it has both a proximity sensor and light sensor as per normal. They may work slightly different, hence why crappy test apps from the Play store don't work. And why AOD is no longer turning off in pockets.

Watch JerryRigEverything's teardown, specifically here, where he physically points them out: https://youtu.be/kHzmFPoZbCA?t=427

Read the link I posted in my earlier post. That's the proximity sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GialanG:
Not only apps in Store, but the SS diagnostic mode doesn't show either. Check the attached pics of S10+ and Note 5 in SS stock diagnostic mode
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Same here.

Tbh it's not really a trade off I'm happy with because it makes AOD a source of battery drain at this point. I want to be able to put my phone face down to save battery. Do you think this might actually be a bug?

Started a thread in the Samsung community forum. Maybe some of you guys can top up with your own findings.

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S10/Always-on-display-not-turning-off/m-p/473981#M2111
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Found this article which confirms the existence of a proximity sensor.

https://hothardware.com/news/blinking-white-pixel-samsung-galaxy-s10-feature-not-bug

The trade-off might be due to the fact that's the sensor is tied to that blinking pixel and is only active while making phone calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aroy97:
Same here, AOD doesn't turn off when flipping it over or covering top portion of the screen.

I'm starting to think this is why they added the feature of AOD only turning on when you tap the screen once as a trade off for it not automatically turning off
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pickwit:
I tend to agree. I carry my S10+ in my shirt pocket and have noticed that AOD remains on.

Additionally, if double tap to wake the screen is on, the screen will wake on in your pocket without double-tapping it. I have disabled this feature as its annoying that this is also buggy!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] smallfish82:
This combined with the lift to wake option interpreting placing in pocket as lifting and the ultrasonic fingerprint reader activating in pockets is giving us of a real annoyance.

I hope Samsung are aware of this and do something about it.. .. ..

Very strange... just tried disabling double tap to wake the screen and it didn't stop it happening... Doh
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
It's a bug, they forgot to link the older aod behaviour with the new implementation of this sensor, I expect it to be fixed in the next update, along with everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jagrave:
I'm constantly getting this too. Even with AOD off and the option to not turn screen on when in pocket(can't remember exactly name) I'm still constantly having my phone turn on in my pocket. At work I get a break every 2.5 hours and sometimes 45 minutes or more of that it'll be on in my pocket. I've pulled it out several times and the emergency call screen be on with a lot of numbers pressed. It's definitely a huge annoyance. My battery almost died during a 10 hour shift because of this.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikehawk595:
Hi everyone. Any thoughts on this issue? This still persists for me even though my phone is up to date and it's may already.

I too think that there's a trade off with the in-screen proximity sensor and the fact that the phone doesn't recognise that's in a pocket. Mine keeps going on while in it.

There must be a way to get around this issue but I'm suspecting we'll never see an optimal fix since the proximity sensor uses that lit pixel to work and nobody would like to see it blinking every second.

I blame bad engineering here. Thumbs down for Samsung mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I blame the new in screen proximity sensor. I doubt they will ever get a fix for their first gen type used on our devices. It'll probably be fixed on the note 11 or S11. I hope not though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ramnkc:
folks, its a bug in Oneui which existed in all S10 and s10+... its had been reported since day one and still Samsung still unable to solve this issues till date. And they published an notice in Samsung member app, next update will be addressing this issues finally. so lets wait for May updates and see they really solve it.

I have trying more than 10 hrs. I believe samsung has lover the max brightness because of that burn in problem(i have read it and a lot of other people experienced the same problem). Is there a way to change max brightness so ı can be able to burn the unburned parts of my screen aswell?

Some of the roms have outdoor mode, which works for 15 minutes but its a lot more powerful than the stock 100%, not sure which rom tho, im on deluxerom and dont have it

But I did have it on dr ketan or exykings rom not sure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Estargeus:
Thank you for the reply. I have been able to find a app called "High Brightness Mode" which i believe do the thing you said. I'm try to burn my screen with it now. If it can do it then i will post it here.

But i belive that extra is still at a safe level. If there is a way less safer, more harmfull for the screen i would be appreciated. Maybe some number changes with some root explorer etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xperiaking247:
Not sure but, that way you are risking the panel, if you really want to try getting rid of the burn in, just display the burned in content with negative colours and leave it on the max brightness for a few hours (every day)

Has anyone else noticed the same? I upgraded from an S7 which didn't have this issue, I thought it may be a polarized screen protector maybe but would prefer to check before removing it.
