The Official Xiaomi Thread

Happens to me. Always thought it is normal

I don’t remember changing any settings relating to notifications while streaming, but I definitely just get the notifications pop up without any audible notification or volume drop.

Though, anyone getting a new phone that uses BT headphones must check their BT settings in developer options if they want to improve their audio quality. I posted the full guide a couple of pages back, one setting changed made a huge difference to music playback quality.

Here’s my previous posts about it.

Anyone who thinks their bluetooth audio output is a bit on the weedy and quiet side should check in Developer Options if Xiaomi has set the “let’s strangle BT output to sound absolutely crap” option on (aka the “Disable Absolute Volume“ switch in the Networking section). Switch it to off and reboot the phone.

I can’t believe the difference in sound quality on my Mi10T (especially bass and clarity) and volume now after switching the setting off.

Open Settings -> About phone.
Locate MIUI version (probably Build version on other makes) and tap it 7 times to enable Developer options.
Go to Developer options in Settings -> System -> Additional settings -> Developer options
Scroll down to the Networking section.
Once there, disable (toggle off) the “Disable Absolute volume” option.

I can''t find an option for MIUI 12.0.10 for the Redmi 9, I guess that record feature is not available on this phone.

I think the feature was for old Xiaomi devices that shipped with MIUI dialer. newer phones come with google dialer that does not have the record feature

What grates my carrot now is that Firefox is not synchronizing passwords at all.

Edit : it synced just now. Pffft.

First time I've heard "grates my carrot" ... I do like that expression

 

[phly]

Already off.

Just be careful, you might end up with a very small carrot, ask Libs about that .

No, I can’t say I’ve ever noticed it. I’m currently listening to music on my Mi10T (via Apple Music) and I’ve received 4 or 5 notifications without any change to to the playback volume.

It happened on my note 8 previously and now also on my note 9 pro
super kak lol
I didnt change anything sound wise either, phone is on silent/vibrate like 99% of the time tried looking but have not found a solution yet. This is normal speaker sound, no headset/bluetooth etc

ah, ok, I haven’t used the phone to play media via the speakers so can’t say whether it does or doesn’t do that.

Dark mode. Lovely.

Plus it updated. Nice.

Took quite a while to update.

Just ordered this case for the Note 8 - https://www.takealot.com/digitronic...arbon-case-for-xiaomi-redmi-note/PLID61035291 . Will take a while to get here so hopefully it's good enough quality and a little less slippery than the one that comes in the box.

Never used the included case. I ordered a separate case (black) with my note 8, it feels nice and non slippery.

Yeah. Have been looking for a case but couldn't find any. Then suddenly Takealot has now got a few listed.

My record function is on the Google Phone dialer app. But I think Google enables it server side. So even if he has Xiaomi and Google Dialer, perhaps his model is not supported for recording according to Google, even if he has the latest version which I have. I think Google Phone app is the Beta version though. Perhaps that made the difference.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo! Damn that will annoy me no end if I get me a Xiaomi. Share if you find a solution please.

Doesnt happen on my poco, only happens if I have ring on. If on silent not

Yeah, looks like we have to wait for it to be rolled out to more devices:

Google Phone call recording feature going live on some Xiaomi devices

The feature has been in the works for a few months

It may well be the Google Phone app version - mine is on v 61.0.356375339.

On my Redmi 4A I had no luck with merging duplicates (telephone lists).

Note 8 had no issues and merged them all. Good news.

 

[The_Librarian]

One thing which I've noticed :

With my Redmi 4A I can double-tap, then slide down to activate the torch/wifi/4G

With the Note 8 I have to unlock first before I can slide down to activate torch/wifi/4G

Is this a security consideration?

I can double tap and slide down without issues on my Note 8. Not sure if it's a setting, but don't recall any change to activate this. Could do it from out the box.

That's weird.
