in my poco m3 the wifi and bluetooth suddenly got very weak signal, does anyone know how to solve this problem?
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] cbw:
My M3 doesn't have wifi problems, except that the maximum downloading speed is only about 100Mbps.

Bluetooth works very well on my M3.

Maybe you can try updating MIUI, or factory reset, if both don't work, maybe you need to bring it to Xiaomi service center?
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] lucascerqueira:
on Brazil hasn't a xiaomi service center, my M3 got very very weak signal on wifi/bluetooth, already did factory reset about 5 times and nothing, it's very annoying
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] cbw:
If it is hardware's issue, there is nothing you can do other than bringing it to service center for repairing.

If you still want to try fixing it with software, you can unlock the bootloader, and then use Mi Flash tool on a computer to flash the fastboot ROM, with the clean all and lock option.
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] lucascerqueira:
the issue begun on miui 12.0.6 update, before on 12.0.4 and 5 wifi/bluetooth was fine with a good reception, somethimes the issue simple goes away and after a week or two goes back with weak wifi/bluetooth, me and some m3 users have this issue with the same way

I've tried without locking the bootloader but the problem remains, I can't afford to wait another 7 days to unlock it if it doesn't work. is it necessary to lock the bootloader?
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] cbw:
No, you can use the phone without re-locking bootloader, and lock bootloader later if needed.

But if you use the clean all option without locking bootloader, you need to delete the checkpoint in the configuration of Mi Flash.
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] cbw:
Then it might be a hardware problem, because the WiFi signal is always strong enough on my M3, I have been using it since December last year.

My M3 is the global variant, and I have installed Taiwan ROM on it.
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] cbw:
Recently I tried to connect my POCO M3 to my Mi Bluetooth Audio Receiver, and the audio started disconnecting when I was only about 3 meters away from the phone.

Then I tried to use the audio receiver with my old phone, Redmi 4X, it wouldn't disconnect even when I was about 5 meters away.

I tried to re-install the global fastboot ROM on the M3, but it didn't solve the problem, so I brought my phone to the service center today, now I am waiting for it to be repaired.
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] lucascerqueira:
and???
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] op_raftel:
Just for the record I'm using the "Redmi 9T" not the "POCO M3" but they are quite similar and have the same issues. I ended up using the custom ROM EvolutionX (android 11) but the problem remained, so I kept updating the firmware (not ROM) each week (the 9T has firmware updates for android 11, can't find one of M3, not sure...) until version "21.7.21". Now the wifi signal is quite acceptable. I'm no longer updating the firmware (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) because the last time I did it (from stock mui 10.0.4->10.0.6) the wifi signal became weak.
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] lucascerqueira:
where can I find my firmware version??
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] op_raftel:
you can find all versions for POCO M3 [citrus] at https://xdaforums.com/t/firmware-poco-m3-citrus-auto-updated.4250281/ only use one of them if you're on a custom ROM (currently there is only android 10 firmwares), do not it on stock MIUI or MIUI EU, and make sure the bootloader is unlocked.
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] lucascerqueira:
ahh, your firmware is a chinese version, m3 only have the global and eea versions, all this have this wifi issue, i'll have to wait for an update or install .eu rom
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] SilentVOEZ:
The WiFi strength is worse for some reason comparing with another phone. Maybe the antenna design is bad and in the software side, it struggles to connect sometimes even the signal is strong.
[POCO M3 Real Life Review] Sudosftw:
I've had my M3 for about 6 months using it as a secondary device. My daily is a Pixel 3a.

What I've noticed is that while connected to an AC-867 capable access point (in this case, an Apple Airport Extreme 6th generation in bridge mode) on 2.4GHz, the WiFi throughput can only bounce against 50Mbit/s, and off 5GHz, it can only bounce off 300Mbit/s as a cap. I know the radio can do more as the exact same radio is in the Pixel 3a... And I can get upwards of 500Mbit off 5GHz on that. I get the same exact behavior out of a much newer AC access point as well, on a friend's Xfinity modemrouter with an 800Mbit pipe, it'll only allow it to get 360Mbit of that.

What I'm seeing is it's just not negotiating the access points correctly. It'll also choose to connect to the 2.4GHz signal first and never touch 5GHz if both share the same SSID and just stays there, not even getting here inches from the access point.

I implore others in a situation where they have over 500Mbit/s down from the internet to do some speedtest numbers. There's definitely something fishy happening and I'm wondering if the radio's performance is being artificially stunted by the stock ROM or if they implemented it so poorly that it can't pass that much data and thus the slower link speeds... would also love someone with an M3 running a custom ROM to give some numbers too if possible as a sanity check.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mbektic:
I have done this on Windows 10/11 with the 8 Pro, 8T, and 9 Pro personally.​

Other members have had success with the OP5T, OP6T, OP7P, OP7T, OP8 and even a OP1 for @mawil1013 and somehow a Xiaomi Mi 9T lol

Spoiler content hidden.

To fix the issue, we are going to disable driver signing enforcement in Windows and then install the Unsigned OnePlus drivers.​

Install the OnePlus drivers that are included with your phone.

They should show up as CD Drive: OnePlus Drivers when you just connect your phone to your computer.

I'm sure you can find the installation package somewhere online, but I don't have a good download source so I am not going to give out random links.

This will create a directory containing the USB driver. This will most likely be

C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers

In that folder there is a driver, but both when installed using the installer incuded with my phone, and a downloaded version, I ran into...

The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.

To get around this we are going to disabled signed drivers on windows.

Select the “Start” button.

Type “startup”.

Select “Change advanced startup settings“.

Select “Restart now” under the “Advanced startup” area.

Once presented with the Advanced options select...

“Troubleshoot“ --> “Advanced Options“ --> “Startup Options“ --> “Restart“

After that, a menu will appear where you can press “7” on your keyboard to choose “Disable driver signing enforcement“.

Now Device Driver Signing should be disabled, allowing you to install any driver until you reboot, meaning we can install our unsigned OnePlus driver.

Pop open Device Manager

You can press windows + x to bring up a menu, then you can press m or select device manager for quick access

Boot your device into fastboot mode.

This should cause it to show up in device manager as "Andriod", with a yellow triangle

In device manager right click the "android" device

Then press the following options

Update driver --> Browse my computer --> Let me pick --> Have Disk

Navigate to the folder from earlier: C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers

Select OnePlus_android_winusb.inf and click okay

After that, OnePlus Android Bootloader interface should be selected. Go ahead and install it.

Congrats! Your device should start showing up in fast boot mode.

You sir are saint...I've been trying to get fastboot to recognize my OP6T for the last 8 hours. Thank you so much!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kjslabber:
Make sure when you allow adb debugging in developer mode that you authorize the phone when using adb devices, otherwise you will not see fastboot when you try to use.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jefffeely:
Thank you, that would have driven me crazy. It is crazy that it is 2020 and driver manufactures still don't sign their drivers some times.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] wangsu10:
There is no CD Drive show up....

find on internet a oneplus usb driver and installed....

Thanks OP.

finally works...

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] bynarie:
Yes, I also had to disable device driver signing, then the phone showed up in the bootloader.. You can just open an admin command prompt, type "bcdedit /set testsigning on", REBOOT, then install the proper driver. This seems to be a problem with OOS11.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] dogmatism:
The easiest method for any newbie is to install , iobit driver booster , free.

Driver Booster 11 Free: Official Free Driver Updater Tool for Windows 2023

The best free driver updater for Windows 11/10. Fully detect and update all your old drivers for graphics, USB, audio, display, network, printer, mouse, keyboard and scanner. Free check driver updates now.

www.iobit.com

Then update the android driver. The fastboot would be working fine after that.

I just cant thank as much as I have to! I couldnt find solution for months, I was using magisk module on old phone to use fastboot and it sucked. Now updated driver and works like charm. Thank you so much!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Samuel Holland:
Thanks for making this thread. I couldn't believe I were having so many issues on my desktop, when I had managed to get everything right when I first got the phone(8PRO) on my laptop. I had adb & fastboot installed, then plugging in Kona w/ usb debug off allowed me to install the adb driver and then for fastboot(while in fastboot, using window's "device manager" I selected the Google usb driver I had downloaded, and finally for edl mode driver just in case (msm), I installed the qualcomm driver while in edl mode(😅 whew). Anyway thanks,
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Zheranon:
I cannot believe I did not see this thread earlier...

Just finished solving the same problem after going nuts for a couple of hours.

It is most definitely just getting the PC to install the OnePlus drivers AND disabling the driver signing.

What a pain.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] behel1t:
I also struggled with this issue but found another solution. Once my phone was plugged in (can't remember if it was system or fastboot) I went to Windows Update and browsed the optional updates. One of the optional updates was a driver for android recovery. Installed it and it worked.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] zzjea:
Between the OP and this post, I was finally able to get the drivers to work on my 8T (Sim Free- Carrier Unlocked) new phone from Oneplus. I spent several hours trying to determine what the issues were and then found this thread. I am successfully unlocked from the bootloader. Thank you both.

This saved me a lot of time and hassle, and the way you organized it was super easy to follow and made me realize that instead of searching every time for device manager I can use win+x and the m key to get there quickest.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] silentrawr:
Still struggling to get my OP 8T+ recognized by Fastboot. Reboots into it just fine, and I can hear the device "disconnecting" from Windows and being reacquired once it comes up into Fastboot, but commands won't run ( <waiting for device> ). Tried all the latest versions of everything to no avail, not to mention cold boots of my PC and phone.

The one thing that I think I may be stuck on is that even after turning off driver signing and rebooting, manually installing the driver still gives that "yo dawg, something's up with this driver and it might be toast" message. Confirmed driver signing is off via BCDEdit - and tried the temporary test mode too - all for nada.

Would it be worth trying on a whole different PC, or might mine be locked in some extra rude way by the original carrier, T-Mobile? Alternatively, is there a way to flash full flavor ROMs without unlocking the bootloader and putting a custom recovery on the phone?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] silentrawr:
Got it working on another PC - turns out that using BCDEdit to "turn off" driver signing works a bit differently than going through the Advanced Startup menu. Now I've just gotta wait for T-Mobile to get their asses in gear and send over the unlock token.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] scruffy1:
late to this party, but...

i bought a new in box oneplus 5t only a few weeks ago specifically because it has a headphone port and was listed as easy to unlock to a supported current lineage build (to replace my ancient nexus 5 running lineage 15), and it has heaps of processing power and 8gb of ram for my uses

the mystery of not getting it recognised in adb (but happily visible in debug mode) was doing my head in until i came across this thread

windoze tries so hard to save us from being free, that it is painful

even getting to the advanced startup screen is now more complicated than the posted intructions here, but thanks be to google for letting me get there in the end

a squillion thanks Mbektic - you rock !
