Issues with JFv1.41

I'm having a couple off issues with the latest release.
First of all I can't turn Wifi off and keep it off. Everytime I go into the menu to check on it, it's checked, so I uncheck it, and it'll turn off for a minute or two and then all of a sudden turns right back on. This is extremely annoying.
And the other is that it seems like in some apps my touchscreen presses don't keep the phone awake. So I can be interacting with the screen and then all of a sudden it'll go dim. I'll keep pressing on screen buttons and a few seconds later the display will shut off completely. The only way I can jog it back awake in its dimmed state is to move the trackball or press some other hardware button.
Anyone else seen these problems?

I've seen similar issue with the screen staying awake, thought it's just the phone. Also not sure if it's related sometimes I'll click on a button for example, but it will almost not recognize the spot i'm clicking on and click something else on the screen.

These are the same problems I've been seeing on my phone. I imagine it is due to the multitouch hack, but I haven't gotten the motivation to downgrade my phone back to 1.31.

Do you have anything installed like power manager or locale? One of those progams may be turning on wifi.

Nope, I had installed Power Manager once a while back and didn't like how it worked so I uninstalled it. Don't have Locale installed either. I ran the task manager to see what was running and there was nothing that I could tell that would turn the wifi on.

The touch issues are rather widespread amongst 1.41 users. However, don't know what's up with ur wifi. I have a strange issue with my wifi as well though. Whenever I boot up my phone and wifi was enabled when it turned it off. I get 2 not responding errors. Everytime. Its like clockwork. With 3g? Never. It took me about 20 wipes and 10 or so hours to finally figure it out. Hopefully all these problems will be fixed with rc33

I have also noticed that Applications don't check for new updates anymore. even when I go to "My Downloads", It used to show "free" next to any application that has an update or has been uninstalled. Now it shows "Installed" next to all the applications but when I go to the application by category, It shows up as "Free" meaning that there is a new version.
the case in simple points:
1. when I open the Application..... It doesn't detect the update.
2. when I go to "My Downloads" in the market, It doesn't show "Free" next to any application that has an update.
But if I go to the application by category, It shows "Free".

i havnt had a problem with it staying on, i noticed that my phone was dimming to quickly. I know theres probably an adjustment somwhere (i think at least) but i havnt had any problems what so ever with it.

Very strange. I haven't had either problem (wifi or touchscreen). I have noticed that my battery drains more quickly than it used to, but I have been blaming this on the DroidSans autorotate feature always flipping the screen everytime I move the phone (I mess with the phone an awful lot).

DroidSans Tweaks checks the version. At the moment it's not going to recognize RC33 as a valid version. Wait for it to be updated.

What he said... But don't forget to enable auto rotate in your browser though. You don't need droidsans for that.

Bluetooth Issues

So, for some reason, my Bluetooth doesn't function properly as it should, which is weird, since my phone is still on stock, and the only modifications I've made are unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. I also installed Power Toggles, but I don't think that's the issue at hand.
Pretty much, whenever I turn the bluetooth on, it tries for a while to turn it on, then gives up and won't let me turn it on. At that point, I have to restart the phone, and when it reboots back up, the bluetooth is on without me having to start it up. Then it works properly, but if I wish to use the bluetooth again the next day, I have to repeat the process of rebooting the device. Any ideas?

I had this issue when I Downloaded a FM radio app from the Play store to see if it would work. I just deleted the app. Went into safe mode then into normal mode and it fixed it.
Don't know what you case can be. But you can try going into safe mode and back to normal and see if there are any different results.

I had this same problem after installing Torque, and using it with default settings that auto-enabled/disabled bluetooth. After turning all that crap off it is back to normal.
I use bluetooth for audio playback and an hf/A2DP headset dialing via Motospeak, as well as Torque with a bluetooth odb2 interface, and it all works perfectly since disabling Torque's auto-bluetooth settings. My only issue is that it takes Motospeak a bit long to restore audio playback after a hf call command.
I would look for an app that you have that is the controlling bluetooth on/off.

I wonder if it isn't a software bug. I have the same issue but I don't have any apps that are causing the issue of atleast from what I can tell. I'm also unlocked and rooted.

I removed Bluetooth from Power Toggles. It's been two days and all seems well. Now we wait.

Similar problems here, the weirdest thing is idk which app causes that. Because I didnt install that much. Only thing I notice is it happened when the wifi is on.. Does anyone have similar problem??

Same problem here. I have a lot of apps but none I can think of that do anything with Bluetooth.

Nope, still doesn't work.

Nothing yet? I'm just curious as to whether it's just a few people experiencing this, or a lot, since there doesn't seem to be that much talk about it.

I use Bluetooth everyday on my way home from work just to connect to my Bluetooth headset. Out of 14 days I may get one day where I turn Bluetooth on that I don't have to reboot for it to work.

So we're on 4.2.2, I've went through safe mode and back a few times, and I've uninstalled and installed applications having to do with the Wi-Fi. Problem still seems to be there. It's just somewhat of a hassle to have to power down my phone completely, then start it back up, everytime I get into my car. I feel a hard reset mighttt fix the issue, but just looking for another way as of now.

My phone also have the same problem.. the bluetooth won't turn on.. stock 4.2.2 locked bootloader and not root yet.. anyone has a solution..

Phone freezes overnight

When I have my phone plugged in over night and then hit the unlock screen button, the screen doesn't turn on.
I have to hard reset to get the phone on then everything is fine.
What is causing this and how do i stop it?
Running totally stock rom 4.3

Which apps do u have installed on your Nexus? I saw the freezing issue with touch control. If U had no apps it could have just been a bad flash

Have you got any overclocking apps?

I have been dealing with this for a while. It has made me late to work since I use my phone as my alarm and the alarm does not go off when this occurs. I've tried everything. Toggled daydream mode to ensure it was off, done a factory reset and installed no apps, done a full factory image flash to make sure there was no issue with the system files, tried a different charger, tried not charging, etc... it still occurs about once a week. I plan to call Google to ask if this is a warranty issue.

Download and install Safe Charge from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sash.sodeliminator. Open Safe Charge after installing the app and click the Enable Safe Charge check box. The developer has an explanation at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226698 of how his app prevents the Nexus from entering deep sleep while the phone is plugged in. I installed his app after experiencing two sleep of death episodes in my first week with the Nexus and have not had one since.

I tracked it down that it only happens when wifi is enabled. When it's not enabled the phone doesn't freeze.

Try disabling location access? Wifi might have connection with that. No harm trying right?
Wifi on at night isn't good for human deep sleep anyway so I off it.

Any owners of the Redmi Note 7 see problems & bugs?

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?

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 :-/

you saved my life. I bought the CN version and thought there would be no way to install play store without rooting.

It's resolve many little bugs with some apps too.

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.

4g LTE now working properly
My 4g LTE switches to h+ in less than a minute from bootup or cycling airplane mode. I have tried every thing to get this to work . I manually changed the network to LTE only but my voice services is lost. I am using global room . Need some help to get this fixed
https://youtu.be/ET1ma3OYxMs

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:
Settings>battery& performance>chooseapps>press the dots in top right>showsystemapps>longpressanyapp>select all>pressmoreatthebottom>norestrictions. See if that helps =) good luck lol

my bug is about battery, 100 to 97% real quick in less than 2 minutes sot. but significantly less drain 97 lower. my sot can last up to 10-11 hours btw.

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.

Battery stats aren't that accurate so as long as you get those long sots you should be fine.

how to disable zendmode ?

so I installed zenmode on my 6t and turned it on. I am currently stuck in zen mode, i dont know how to turn it off. Please dont tell me i have to wipe everything to recover phones normal state.

If I remember right it should turn off after 20 minutes. How long has it been running?

you are right men !, I was just testing for 5 or 10 mins but was not able to do anything, aftrer a while I got a notification saying congratulations for not using your phone or something for 20 mins. So you yeah, your correct after 20 mins you can decide if you want to continue using zen mode or close it.

Yup....Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Forces you to put your phone down to concentrate on other things with no distractions. Not sure I would ever use it myself and it would just be another app on my phone taking up space. I just put my phone down or turn it off if I really need to do something...Simple concept really.

just curious question, will zen mode elliminate all apps and services that use the internet, if yes, i think the battery life might skyrocket.

From what I understand it disables everything but Camera and emergency calls.

you cant. You missing all the point of this app )))

I've tried Zen Mode this morning and found out it was unstable and bypass-able
- Notifications still come through to Ambient Display
- Can be bypassed if you use Oneplus Navigation Gesture. Just swipe it up and hold to access Recent App, and switch to another one. Alternatively, you can also access Recent Apps when the camera app is open. Launcher cannot be accessed though.
- You can even go as far as to Setting and force stop the Zen Mode app, but this does nothing; Zen mode is still on
- It loses count some times (timer freezes, although the countdown still going in background). Go to camera and go back may solve this

Well, that's why...
It's not stable on 6T yet.

If you have Google assistant enabled by holding down the power button, it will, at least in my experience, come up and you can tell it to open settings and disable it from there ??
