i have wifi bluetooth interference issue . wifi become super slow when connected to Bluetooth speaker
Using xcloud with Bluetooth adapter and wifi, xcloud is very slow. Using 4G is fine so suspect the same issue with Bluetooth and wifi interference, although on 5GHz wifi.
Me too.
Also WiFi Hotspot is very instable if Bluetooth activated.
Although the bluetooth is disabled, the wifi speed is very slow.
Redmi Note 8 has the worst wifi speed that I have seen in a smartphone ?
Can someone compare the wifi strength with another phone using an app like wifi analyzer?It would be very useful for those who are interested buying this phone like me.
hello;
I share with you the solution of the problem related to wifi (when Bluetooth is activated).
there is a setting to deactivate in the authorizations of the applications which uses Bluetooth (uncheck authorization to cut the wifi by a Bluetooth application (airpods, mi fit .... etc).
the software gives priority to a Bluetooth application instead of wifi, you have to look for this application that uses Bluetooth and go to the settings to deactivate the authorization who cut the wifi / slow down
settings
authorization
other authorization
scroll down to the application who use the bluetooth (airpod, mi fit,........)
uncheck: change wifi connectivity authorization.

the wifi / bluetooth problem is caused by this option in the settings.
bleutooth has priority over wifi; just deactivate in authorizations
therefore, the wifi download speed problem is caused by the software

but does it impact the performance of either the bluetooth or the wifi?
for example, does the bluetooth become unstable instead of the wifi?
I'm 100% sure that the wifi range is worse compared to redmi note 4x. Where the RN4x mido fared without problems, the RN8 ginko loses signal... Miui 11.

Where in the settings is this in? The only menu I can find regarding "Authorization" is "Authorization and revocation" which has essential applications of the phone.

Alrighty thanks. I did that and the WiFi is still just as bad :\
I came here looking for slow wifi speed solution. Now i am pretty sure this phone has some different wifi problem..
I get slow speed. Not always but at random times speed drops very low. Like 2 3 mbps.. i have fiber connection.
Secondly i also agree the bluetooth problem. I also noticed noticiably drop in speed while bluetooth in connected. Its not a problem with other 2ghz devices. U gt 1 2 mbps which is too slow.
I hope some update resolves this.
Whoever is facing please report this bug from the service and feedback app in the phone.i have done.
Just writing here wont solve.

That just looks like you're connected to 5Ghz WiFi on the Pad. 72Mbps link speed is common for most phones on 2.4Ghz WiFi (without any channel bonding/dual spatial streams/MIMO). And even on 72Mbps link speed you can get around 4MBps data rate easy.
Not good at all, this phone looses signal in places I never had problems before...

WiFi is very unstable when you aren't next to the access point. It keeps switching from WiFi to data connection.
Furthermore, when gripping the phone from the upside without a cover (near the camera), the WiFi connection will not work anymore.
Someone is experiencing this problem?
same to me
WiFi works normal here... No deathgrip
Maybe you can try enabling Aggressive WLAN to Cellular handover at developer settings under the networking tab to fix your issue

Well, the problem in my case was that I have two access points with the same name at the two sides of the house, and from my room the second AP has a better signal, but it had some trouble and it wasn't working, so the phone wifi was switching from the first to the second continually.
However if you hold the phone from the upside, there is a very strong loss of signal. A workaround is to use a case.
I can say that wifi antennas of this phone are not that good, like the iPhone 7.
My previously Xiaomi phone had a better wifi signal on very distant access point.

Yes, the same SSID on different AP / technologies makes only troubles.
Never use the same name for 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz. Unfortunately many providers have the routers that are configured this way.

I've configured my router with same ssid to use band steering (i can't post link: search "band steering avm" from a search engine)
That technology do exactly the trick: switching from frequency bands, but even disabling it Mi A1 doesn't manage WiFi correctly and don't suppose to do that!
Hi Guys
Is there a solution for unstable wifi connections.
thank you

Wifi alone performs really well, but once you turn on bluetooth it becomes terrible. Download speeds of less than 1 mbps, barely usable.
@ZunsheV I cannot confirm the behavior you are describing. Having switched on bluetooth only without any traffic on it doesn't slow down the WiFi connection speed for me. It's a bit different when I am transferrring data over bluetooth in parallel or if bluetooth is scanning for devices. In those cases I can notice a slowdown, too.
Can more people chip in who bought m5? Does it have bluetooth/wifi problem? I plan on use it with bluetooth headphones so it would be major problem. I saw m3 had this problem.
I've got problems with the WiFi here, I've tested with Bluetooth speaker and gamepad with no slowdown at all

Using Wifi while connected to a bluetooth device slows downloads significantly.
I connected to my 5G wifi point and my Bragi headphones and it took several minutes to download a game from Google Play; turning off bluetooth and downloading a different game took only a few seconds (same wifi connection).
i'd go Samsung but the cheapest tablet with a fingerprint reader is running MARSHMALLOW (!).
I have no problems with bluetooth and wifi. No differences with bluetooth on and connected to my charge 3 and with bluetooth off. I have an M5 Wi fi only
I have the same problems. When the WiFi and Bluetooth is turned on, the speed falls dramatically.
I use WiFi 5 ghz router and Bluetooth jbl clip2.
No problems with my M5 8"LTE bluetooth or wifi, even when both are aktiv. Both works as it should.
edit: after some testing there is a "problem" with wifi speed 2.4Ghz when streaming music via BT, but not on 5Ghz.
Maybe not device relaited? Because my M2 8" LTE and my iPhone 7+ does the same

Poor WiFi performance even when Bluetooth is off
I recently bought an Mediapad M5 and already next day i reclaimed it because of WiFi issues. At first start up i installed all availble system updates, restarted the Mediapad and checked WiFi performace. I noticed the downlink didnt gave me the normal speed as i have on my other devices (Galaxy TAB S, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S9) and that was when all other connections as Bluetooth was switched off. I have an 250/100 MBit/s service from my ISP wich usually give me approx 245/100 MBits/s on the 5 GHz wireless network. The Medipad gave me 120/100 MBit/s (50 % downlink speed of what i am used to get) and poor latency in comparation to the others. I tried what was under my possibilitys to do, reset network settings and also as final a factory reset. Nothing of that solved the issues. So it was an easy decision to take and reclaim the Huawei Mediapad M5 crap mediapad and get the money back.
Furthermore there was other annoying issues on the Mediapad M5. It was not possible to use all of the apps i earlier bought from Google Play and are using on my old Galaxy TAB S and on my Galaxy S9. Apps for monitoring WiFi connection, e.g WiFi Overview 360 Pro and WiFi Analyzer - both are well reputation apps, didnt work properly on Mediapad M5 depending of Huaweis app regulations. Using these apps on the Mediapad M5 i was only allowed to see the network i was attached to. Nothing else. I spoked with Huawei support desk and they confirmed that Huawei have restrictions for what apps users are allowed to run on Huawei devices.
So if you are going to purchase a new tablet, make a proper consideration before you choose a Huawei Mediapad device.
Good on my M5 10.8
I use 5GHz wifi and bluetooth is always on (and connected sometimes), i still get a link speed equivalent to my desktop with a dedicated PCIE wifi card (867mbps) and with a case on it sometimes beats my desktop wifi speed.
Haven't tried bluetooth with 2.4GHz, it's slower yes, but i never noticed it, only 2.4GHz wifi ive used is out and about on public wifi and that's slow anyway (verify with my phone)
Also worth noting that i think my model might be a cellular model in disguise, it has the gyroscope which is exclusive to the cellular model, and a thermal sensor for the modem.
The WiFi / Bluetooth issue is not specific to this device. It happens on everything using the 2.4G WiFi band. Ise 5G and problem is gone.

Is using a USB bluetooth adapter over OTG an option?
You should have a good router for a stable 5ghz connection. I had dir-809. The signal was very unstable even in the same room a few meters away, the speed of my internet is 150 mbit, but ive got rarely above 90mbit, because of the 100 mbit wan port.
Now I'm using very cheap but much, much better tenda ac10 router. The signal is strong and stable even in the room next to the router, where i haven't signal before. The link speed on my p20 is 520-750 mbit, on the mediapad around 390-433 mbit. I've got 150 mbit internet speed (150 is the isp limitation.) I'd wish the tablet to support mu-mimo, but as i know only p20/p20 pro/mate 10 pro Porsche support the technology.

Worst. 4 times less speed than before Turbo GPU and August Security Patch update. Avoid!
Edit: I panicked a little bit too much. After that I played with my router's 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, divided it into two different wifi names, then connected to my M5. After everything - changed to that one wifi name with 2 bands. Now it's working as it should.
I get about half the speed on the M5 than i do with my Mate 10 or my desktop, with bluetooth off.
Also the wifi signal is good if you're in direct sight of the router and within 20 meters, once i go behind a wall i lose signal.

Try working with your router - a change of channel number could solve the problem. Also, check if you connect to 5ghz band as this could get you nicer speeds.
There is significant speed decrease in wifi speed with Bluetooth on. It appears on 5ghz network too. With Bluetooth off i get around 200 mbit/s.
The problem doesn't appear on p20. I've got around 400 mbit/s with Bluetooth always on.

No signal drop. Wifi range is pretty good..
WiFi range is pretty good and stable even with weak signal.
No WiFi signal drops yet since launch day
Wi-Fi range it's horrible, where I had no problem to stay on Wi-Fi in my flat with Mi4c, Honor 10 drops connection
It has noticeably worse range than my 5 year old Note 3. My old phone, laptops and iPad have no issues with Wifi downstairs, this thing drops out fairly often.
worst wifi & bt phone ever!!!! While bt connected to MiBand is the wifi useless.. speed drops to 0,01Mbit and 0, then disconnects. When BT is turned off everything is normal. I also tried connecting to other BT devices like speaker, hi-fi sound system, smart watches. Every device was on different places, so each time I was connected to different wifi network. I haven't those problems with Mi 4 C.

Mine works great on wifi/4g when its conected to my smartwatch.
Do a factory reset, and try again.

Have you tried turn it off & on again? I must say only LOL LOL LOOOOL.. havent you read my previous posts??? I said I tried that on many places (many ISP)! This is not about the ISP, nor router because I had testet three phones side by side (at home with two different routers) - old crappy Redmi 1s, Mi 4C and this super-fancy Honor 10.. guess which phone is having the slowest connection speed with BT & Wifi enabled
Anyway.. here's nice picture for you with some sh*tty ISP 3Mbit over. 40/40Mbit plan.
I think its a dual problem too hardware+provider, i got 120 download and 110 upload wifi with my provider, as i should on my 500 Mbs plan+router I get even the same results on my y520 laptop on wifi.
As for the bt+wifi, its not normal.
Cant you get a refund?

There is a lot situations why is downlink slower as uplink - eg. QoS set on the router and I can tell you it's not the providers fault in my case. My HTPC on LAN has the top priority for web and it's always above 40/40 on my 40/40 speed plan. Secondly it's 2,4GHz Mikrotik RB wifi and it's crappy during the day when every wifi in the neighbor is active.
A little bit update: I found that when Amazfit Watch app is disconnected from my Huami Amazfit Watch the speed is terrible. Once I connect them together again the speed is okay. Tried also uninstalling Amazfit Watch app and the speed was great. Maybe related to this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/amazfit-pace-wifi-problem-phone-t3664805 so I should move there with my problem.
do you have a "book case or flip case "? i wonder if the magnets inside those cases can mess up the radio's..
because they sure as hell mess up the compass.
nope.. rubber Nillkin case
Problem solved?
Bluetooth+Wifi together without any problem?
what's the maximum bandwidth you guys managed to get with this phone? Is it 866mbps or only 433mbps? I can get 866mbps for my LG V30+ phone on my wifi router (Nighthawk X4S) but only can get 433mbps for the Honor 10 phone..
Just got this phone yesterday. I noticed that sending messages in WhatsApp stalled with the little clock icon. At least for 10 seconds or more. It made me investigate. I changed to 4G and messages get sent straight away. So I done the usually rebooted router, device and tried again. Same problems. WiFi test on 200mbit connection 5ghz was giving me 130mbit. My old Nexus 6 gets full speed. 2.4ghz no better, on Nexus 6 I get 130/140mbit, the honour 10 I get a measly 43mbit. The phone obviously has a problem. I've tested other devices and all including my old Galaxy S5 get max speed via WiFi. I do these tests right next to the router. I feel this phone isn't as good as it's made out to be. Yes it's a nice phone, great speed and camera but it for some reason takes ages to send WhatsApp messages and load YouTube videos, something my Nexus 6 never did. Bit disappointed as it's only new yesterday. A factory reset should not be needed at all.
================
A small update to this. I read around that the problems could be related to Bluetooth causing the slow browser load times, Instagram not loading and the problem I had with WhatsApp messages taking ages to go through. Basically I went to Bluetooth scanning settings in settings area and turned it off. I also turned off WiFi scan settings as you only need to scan for WiFi when you know there is WiFi to be picked up. Both I turned off and the different in browsing, loading of apps and WhatsApp are amazing.
Below a screen of the settings turned off. Hope this helps others.
When connected to band or sharing something via Bluetooth causing significant speed issues on Wifi speed, this problem doesn't occurs when bluetooth on state, it occurs when bluetooth working with something like bluetooth earphone, wearable bands, sharing something via bluetooth, Wifi speed limit goes to highest 600-700KB/s, on Android PIE
Same problem here, bro. Tried to reset network settings but still got the same problem.
I have this same "problem" for a while, but i think its more because wifi and bluetooth use the same frequency so they kinda block each other, if you try it on a 5 ghz wifi you will not have anyproblem. Also bad quality devices like cheap bluetooth headhones cause this problem even more. The "fix" i have for now its, im using a mi band 3 for notifications, so i use tasker to turn bluetooth off when screen on(because i dont want bluetooth lagging things when im using it), and just turn it on when screen off so i get the notifications on the mi band. Its not ideal and it sucks, but is the best thing i could find to kinda fix this(other than using 5 ghz wifi of course)
Hello
So after doing some tests I could verify that...
If you are connected to a Bluetooth device, the wi-fi speed is very much slower.?
Can you do a Speedtest before and after Bluetooth connection with some device...
( I used mi band 3 and a headset to do the tests )
Can you see the difference?? ?
Is there a solution to this??
I can confirm this running Android Pie December's patch. I am using Mi Band 2 and in PUBG Mobile delay is raised from 50ms to 250ms. Turning off Bluetooth solves that instantly.
If you disable GPS (location) speed is a bit better.
only solution is to get 5ghz router(or disable BT while you surfing on the wifi), BT and 2.4 ghz wi-fi are working at about the same frequency

I use WiFi 2,4 ghz AND bluetooth (miband3) all the time on. I use Macrodroid (or automate or tasker) for disabling location (GPS) when I'm connected to my home WiFi so I get full speed WiFi and I can receive notifications from my band.

Is this the case to all devices with similar hardware or is a issue with the Rom programming that makes this use of the same band?
I say it because there's maybe a way to fix this via custom roms, im tired of not being able to watch streams and use my wireless earbuds at the same time....
I have the same similar problem...
When I use my mi band 3 ( Bluetooth watch )
The internet speed is very slow
So, i tried testing the speeds and i found that it's random the type of problem that i got.
In my case im using Apple's Airpods gen 1
- most of the time i have slow or non working wifi connection (tested with youtube and twitch apps) and videos will only load at 144p (at this point is better to not use bluetooth or not watch the video)
- other times videos will not even load
- sometimes the Bluetooth earbuds will start to connect and disconnected continuously and the only way to fix this is turning off Bluetooth and reconnecting again to Bluetooth
- sometimes all problems are fixed in that way but also internet connection becomes a bit sluggish and phone heats up
- sometimes when no audio is playing for a certain time earbuds reconnect but this is maybe a battery saving method in the earbuds themselves
- its literally impossible to watch videos with Bluetooth connected and via wifi if you have a thin wall between you and the router, i live in a small house and being in any room except the one with the router will render video playback impossible.
I think this is more than a wifi - Bluetooth band issue and more of a software issue the more i test this issues
Is there a way or can someone contact Xiaomi to fix this issue? I really feel that this have gone worse since PIE update...
I beginning to think that the problem is the phone hardware, for what I have seen mi A1 uses the same antenna to Bluetooth/ WiFi/ Data
That's why we have this problem of speed...
In other phones, this functions are separated by others antenna...
That's what I think...
