Google Smart Lock - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Hey,
I'm on v11.0.1.0.PFJMIXM but can't find the Smart Lock features, especially the Trusted Places one. Is this removed from stock roms? Is there any way to install this feature? Which custom rom has this?
Thanks

Yes, that one I found but how do I turn on the Trusted Places for Smart Lock? This would enable me to select places where the devices doesn't need a password to unlock.

I could not get it to work and looks like in all MIUI roms it's crippled. There is a Bluetooth unlock in lockscreen menu but it's only available with whitelisted Xiaomi gear it seams. Kinda confirmed on other MIUI forums basically they replaced it with their version and only for their devices. The prompt shows only the first time you pair a new device and you can add it but it does nothing and no way to get back in. I tried to trigger all activities from google service framework but could not get back in, only with new BT device will and i ran out of devices to try. No location trigger works

Hi, if your phone is rooted, you can install this app to get Smart Lock's shortcut https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rachel030219.smartlocklauncher&hl=it

Ok, installed, granted root access, defined my home as trusted place
Locked the screen - it still asks me for pin, cannot unlock without
(I know how to use it, it works perfectly for me on Huawei Mate 9 but here cannot get it to skip entering my pin when I am at home and want to unlock the screen)
QFJEUXM 11.0.5
What else to set up or how to make it working?
Do you really have Xiaomi Mi 9T with stock ROM (and which) and did you really make Smart (un)lock to work for your (home) place, and how?

It doesn't work on MIUI... AFAIK there is no fix.

Unfortunately, true. I was surprised when
@Tizio.Qualunque claimed a 'solution'?!
I've seen many threads for Mi 9T and other Xiaomi phones but never seen anybody claiming that he/she set it up to to really unlock without a pin (or how to do it).
Btw, before I installed this Smart Lock app as he suggested, I got pop-ups by Google Smart lock several time, asking me if I want to set up my (home) location for smart (un)locking (now, during Corona I'm almost all the time at home and unlock the phone by pin tens of time during the day, because unfortunately FOD is very unreliable). So I always confirmed that I want, but still it never worked for unlocking
I can only hope that Xiaomi maybe fix it for MIUI 12, but frankly I don't believe.
BIG MINUS for MIUI and Xiaomi phones

Yes. A huge minus.
Use face unlock. Use Mi band or some kind of Mi watch (bluetooth unlock is limited to only one device... ). It's stuipid - I know. But this is only think you may do if you want your phone to be unloceked when you are near.
Eventually you may try Tasker.

I've been dealing with this since miui 6.
As others have said, MIUI has removed all access to smart lock. The only reason you get the notification is because it's served by Google Play services. They can't touch it.
Even if you access the menu by root, it still won't work because MIUI uses its own lock screen, not the stock lockscreen.
They keep kneecapping the Android features, and later introduce them as "new". The only people who actually like MIUI are people who've never used stock Android
More examples from my experience in MIUI 6 :
1. They didn't have face unlock or bluetooth unlock. But Android had it since the previous 2 versions. They added it in the next MIUI as a flagship feature. And it's still bad. It unlocked for my brother's face.
2. Split screen. One generation late.
3. Picture in picture mode. Dunno if it's available even now

As a user come from nexus and Xperia (like pure android with sony exclusive options) devices, miui only have eye catching ui and lots of bloat ware!
User experience (UX) is so bad. You can't find some options easy (for old and pro android user since 2010, i search in settings menu to find some features! How new android user can use miui i don't know!!!)
select widget so hard, no app drawer, lots of bugs, lags (frame drop) anywhere. MIUI good for peoples come from iOS to android. (Animation, Animation, Animation. Not smooth ux, not easy to use ROM)
I bye Xiaomi phone for good hardware and great price.
Don't forget we are in android. For any feature we can find a nice third-party app.
I flash Pixel Experience Plus...
If google not make ugly pixel, and sport it with high end hardware and good price (Nexus Phone!?) , i never bye any mi or galaxy phone! OnePlus can be an option for professional android user too, but not find easy in my country.

For the matter of fact, App Drawer is supported (since MIUI 11?), see screenshots
But lacking Smart Lock: On body detection, Trusted places and the fact that Smart detection does not work for general Bluetooth devices (but only maybe for Xiaomi gadgets) is a big issue

I'm using QFJEUXM 11.0.6 (previously 11.0.5 and 11.0.3 I think), I never used any Alpha system launcher or whatever
Ok, I cecked now to my System apps updater History, you can see that MIUI System Launcher got updated 4+ months ago to support App Drawer

Not fixed in MIUI 12 / Android 10.
Makes it impossible to do hands-free calling in the car., since you can't make calls anymore with the screen locked.
Only ways I can see around it is:
1. Keep your phone unlocked,
2. Have face unlock set and place your phone where it can "see you" at all times.
3. Get a cheap Mi band or some other MI product, add it as a trusted device, and keep it charged in your car.
This is utter nonsense from Xiaomi.

With MIUI 12, Android 10 and by using Root Smart Lock app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rachel030219.smartlocklauncher
I can setup my trusted place and it remembers, but still it doesn't keep the phone unlocked at my home (I must use the fingerprint or pin)
I was thinking if some permissions are missing

I tried it on MI11 with MIUI 12.5 and with the app mentioned, but still not working :-(

What you want from a future aosp ROM for ours P8 Lite?

I will choose a rom with the next features (if p8 Lite is capable, of course)
1.Miracast enabled
2.No Bluetooth problems with Audi hands free devices
3.Otg enabled
4.X-posed pre-installed
And for you?
What do you think a rom must "have"?
Sent from my Ale 21 using xda premium
All the 3 first points would be great but I think those should be enabled at the kernel level. If the kernel can't handle OTG and screen mirroring, the ROM will not make it possible (not sure on the screen mirroring but absolutely sure on the OTG).
X-Posed would be a nice addition but i can live without it.
What I really would like is to have "close to stock Android" without the EMUI junk. EMUI additions on settings are not bad but stock Android can handle notifications and quick setting in a much better way.
My previous device was a Motorola Moto G LTE (1st Gen.) and it gives you a better experience due to the aforementioned close to stock Android implementation.
Working Smart Lock feature, please.

If you want a good lockscreen try hi locker and if you want your P8 lite wake when you open your "bookcase" try autoscreen on off.
Both apps are free on play store and work fine for me.

Nubia Z17 mini notifications issue

Hello every one!
I couldnt find thread about Z17 mini. If i missed it please move it to the rights place.
I've been using my Nubia for 2 weeks and i couldnt set my notifications right.
Most of the time i get new messages on Whatsapp only when i open the application. I asked my Chinese Seller about this issue and All i've got was: "Dear. You can set your own."
If anyone can help i would be pleased.
Regards!

The problem with a Chinese ui is that it's killing the background push service. If you open recent apps swipe down the specific app and it gets locked. I guess you should have neo safe. In that you can setup power behavior for each app. Ignore background process of WhatsApp and so on and keep it alive in the menu.

This can actually be done, but it is a bit weird:
go to: Settings --> Notification center --> application notification --> down to Whatsapp
Enable all of them (or leave some out as you wish)
Also, in the current app overview (long press red circle) swipe down Whatsapp so it has a lock next to it. This will prevent the system from killing the service.
I also disabled powersaver mode and power saving control in the battery settings (below "other system settings")
Then I went into the NeoSafe app --> Power --> right top settings icon --> Background protection whitelist --> add whatsapp
Also in the NeoSafe I added Whatsapp to autostart: Permission --> Power-on speedup --> Enable Whatsapp
It might be that some of it is not necessary, but this works for me. Now I'm getting all the notifications as they come in Whatsapp
consider upgrade to latest OS build# NX569H_ENCommon_V1.07 shall fix all these issue
To get my messaging and email apps to work I've had to root and push the apps to the system. No problems now.
Thanks for All your answers.
Joren90 - I haven't even noticed NeoSafe app . I did what you wrote and I think it works!
*Do you know guys how to root this phone? Last phone I rooted was HTC one V.
*Will it get an official nougat update?
I'm currently using NX569J_ENCommon_V1.33 ROM version. Looks little bit Chinese
* One more question: Is it possible to get the notification counter on application's icon? I mean when I get a message on Whatsapp could I also get a "1" attached to WhatsApp's icon? Only rooting and getting extra app is a solution I guess?
Thanks again and have a nice day!

Official nougat ROM comes out in august for the mini.
For root u need to get the twrp script then flash the latest super user zip. This can be found here:
http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-910474-1-1.html
For the notification counter another launcher might work.
Thanks Mackay53!
Nice to hear that Nubia gets official Nougat update.
But since I have no "system update" option in my settings menu do I have to upgrade it myself via some app/pc software??
After almost one week using my Nubia with new settings I'm gonna share a little update with you:
*All the notifications (WhatsApp, email) are working fine and I have no problems whatsoever
*The quality of the phone, speed of the phone, quality of the photos and videos are great as for the price I bought it (250€).
Although I like this phone already I really want to... sell it. The lack of OIS is bothering me. In fact it doesn't have any image stabilization... At least it doesn't work for me at all. The quality of videos is great but all the "shakiness" is killing the nice feel of the video quality.

You can install the update by downloading the ROM from the chinese Nubia support pages or the EU version from the nubia India support pages. You then need to enter recovery mode when phone is off by pressing and holding Volume Down and Power Button at the same time.
If you install twrp and root you can install a couple nougat custom roms (mokee + reserection remix) instead of waiting till august for official ROM. Phone becomes a lot more smoother and faster.

We were talking about Z17 Mini. But I guess they're both almost the same when it comes to OS.
I get the notification counter ? No rooting needed. I've installed Nova launcher and TeslaUnread plugin . But then you have to allow both apps (Nova+ Tesla plugin) in your NeoSafe app.
Btw. How is your EIS working? Anybody?
neosafe enable
how to enable neosage in the 2.04 global rom?, since the same e is inactive

I'm using global 2.10 and if I close an app, even it configured in autostart or reboot the phone, the notifications do not arrive, I already did everything and it does not work, there is no neosafe on the global, how to solve it?
hi guys,
to allow notifications do the following:
joren90 suggestion:
go to: Settings --> Notification center --> application notification --> down to Whatsapp
Enable all of them (or leave some out as you wish)
Also, in the current app overview (long press red circle) swipe down Whatsapp so it has a lock next to it. This will prevent the system from killing the service.
then go to settings --> Apps and in the top right corner there are three vertical dots
touch it and choose auto-start management
allow Whatsapp or app you need and it should work even when the power save management is on
works on build v2.10

My s6 'setup'!

Hi, i want show the perfect setup for me for my old S6.
First of all, i want to begin with the rom. I am using the Resurrection Remix Oreo Ver 6.1.0. Rooted with Magisk v 16.
I have made a lot of changes in settings like to use the fingerprint immediately after a reboot or i have transfer the clock to the left and many more.
But the most important for me are the Magisk Modules. I am using Youtube Vanced, RR Low InCall Volume Fix, RAM management fixes bt crok, Pixel Experience, Google Face Unlock, Debloater (Terminal Emulator) and Android P DP3 Emojis.
Also, i am using Xposed Modules: Android P-ify, Flat Style Keyboard, ForceDarkModeOreo, I Said OFF!, MinMinGuard, NoOverlayWarning, P Animations and Screenshot Delay Remover - Mod.
I have removed the Messages stock and i have installed Google's Messages, also i have removed the stock Camera and i have download a miniuser123 GCam, removed the Files App and installed Google's Files Go, same with the music app i have installed Music Play. I have also flashed Product Sans font and installed Google's Pixel 2 XL live wallpapers. For icons i am using O8.
I have replaced the volume slider with the Android's P Volume Slider.
Please suggest me other "tweaks" that i can use to make my phone look like a beast.
Thanks for reading my thread.

Miui : notifications problems. How to solve this ?

Hi,
Since i've bought this device, i'm happy with it regarding the price and the overall quality. But one thing is bothering me each day a little more : the notifications. One day i receive them all, no problem, next day i'm not informed for a new snap, next day with whatsapp, receiving Gmail notif 1h later after receiving the mail... Very annoying !!
I've tried stock Miui, EU china and EEA global... can't see any improvement, still not regular... I love Miui full gestures and still want it, custom roms have problem with gcam and whatsapp video call, i use both of them each day... i've seen custom miui rom but all in russian... not that much info... is it really safe to use them ? I'm a hard user of google products, from phone to youtube, maps, gmail, agenda, drive...
Is debloating with Saki tool a way to solve those problems ? any others ideas guys ?
I've heard about this issue so much. It seems to be a problem with MIUI and I've not seen a fix for it. I can recommend custom roms where the Gcam/Whatsapp video issue is reportedly fixed though. Pixel Experience (non-CAF version) and Lineage OS (by letsmakecakes) reported that they have fixed these issues. You can try them as I've read they have good battery life too (reportedly better than MIUI). I'm currently on Syberia and waiting for these fixes to be ported to other roms too, which i think will happen soon.
One advice if you switch to Custom roms; don't flash custom kernels. Stick with the one provided in the rom. I've had huge battery drains with evira 3.8 and 4.1.
Yes, i've just seen that the PE rom seems to have both working now !! i think i'm gonna try it or another solid rom (love AEX !!) as soon as it's confirmed it works. For the full nav gestures, any advice ? it's the thing which make me stick to Miui too : a REAL full screen with perfect getures within have to move my hand to the bottom of the phone each 15 sec

The edge gestures implemented in rom in my experience are a bit laggy but you can always use an app like ubikitouch or fluid navigation gesture to solve the problem

I've tried a few roms (AOSPX, Havoc, LOS, Bootleggers, Descendant, crDroid and now Syberia) and almost -if not- all of them had fullscreen navigation options built in. Personally, I am using "Navigation Gestures - Swipe Gesture Controls!" by XDA on play store. I paid for the app but it's cheap and works increadibly reliable. Even the free version should have more customizations than MIUI. (Don't use hide navbar option in the app, disable nav bar in the ROM settings)

I've tried a few roms (AOSPX, Havoc, LOS, Bootleggers, Descendant, crDroid and now Syberia) and almost -if not- all of them had fullscreen navigation options built in. Personally, I am using "Navigation Gestures - Swipe Gesture Controls!" by XDA on play store. I paid for the app but it's cheap and works increadibly reliable. Even the free version should have more customizations than MIUI. (Don't use hide navbar option in the app, disable nav bar in the ROM settings)

Great !!! I will wait for the next PE stable build and gonna give a try to it ! I've seen Havoc and others have added in changelog "remove hal3/hal1 switch" : are they working on this fix too ?

I sure hope so. The fixes should be open and shared among the xda developers. I'm sure every maintainer would like to implement this fix on their next update.

Screen cast not working in MIUI 10 Beta and MIUI 11 Betas

After introducting the new features in screen cast function in miui10 beta, the screen cast function seems to be broken (Attached screenshot, stays at that screen). It is not able to find Smart TV on same network.
But apps like youtube, google photos are able to find my TV on network and cast to it.
Anyone else facing the same problem ?
Any solutions and suggestions are welcome..

Went through a few posts on mi forum, seems it's a issue with miracast.
P.s. i switched to custom rom and will stay till this is fixed...
any update on screencasting fix?
Im rooted but prefer to stick with stock rom (my apps cast too but no screencasting...wouldnt have bought another new xiaomi given theres no hardwire video out solution had I known I couldn't cast wirelessly.
thanks!!
Solution found on Poco F1 with MIUI 11.0.5.0 Global Stable
Hey,
I found a solution for the problem.
The new Cast-function also doesn't find my Chromecast.
But the old function is still there. Phone is NOT rooted.
I managed to place a shortcut on homescreen with Nova Launcher. With Nova you can place a shortcut that starts almost any Android-activity by your choice.
1. Use Nova, tap longly on homescreen, then choose Widgets and there Nova activities
2. Then you scroll to Settings, tap on it, scroll either to Wifi-Display (Settings$Miracast Settings Activity) or Streaming (Settings$WifiDisplaySettingsActivity) and choose one of them
3. Restart your phone
If you don't want to use Nova check for other apps that can choose Android activities and place them on the Homescreen.
Questions welcome.
I am also experiencing the same issue with my Xiaomi Mi9 on MIUI Global 11.0.2
thanks for the shortcut tip but that is NOT my problem. there is no probel finding my chromecast or clicking connect. connect responds but goes back to the selection scrreen which is precisely the same problem all owners of recent xiaomi phone users of stock Mi ron are experiencing. Xiaomi needs to fix this no one else can. my earlier xiaomi devices pre- Android pie have no casting issues. xiaomi wanted to be samsung ... maybe they've arrived judging from the fact that they too are fine with updates crippling phone functionality.
Shortcut works with my phone

The difference is, that I get the former functionality, and I can cast my screen directly without any third party app and absolutely stable, as it was on MIUI 10.
So, maybe give it a trial.
Hello ,
came here to confirm screen cast does not work on mi9se also after miui 11 update.
Toggle comes off after you set it to on, and it never searches for any devices. I mean not even a search dialog pops up.
Tottaly worthless..

Here is a YT-Video that shows what I've done and that it works.
Sadly I'm not allowed to post outside links, because I did not post 10 times or more, xda claims.
So, please go to YouTube, search for my channel (MaximoSeven) and there you find the vid.
Mi 8 Lite Miui global 11.0.5
hi! same problem here. I found out after trying a few things that the problem is caused by My TV wired connection. when I connect My TV through the same wifi network as My phone, the Screencast of Miui 11 works just fine( Even better than in Miui 10 i'd Say) and i don't need any other app.
what do You think? could it be any other solution?
Seems to depend on device

It seems to be, that some devices work and some not. My Chromecast is connected to the same WiFi network as my phone. But it doesn't work with the new functionality. It's quite weird, that I find my neighbors TV, that's NOT connected to my network (at least I hope so :cyclops
So far I think, it's a question of streaming technology. As long as your device supports Miracast, it works fine. If the device uses another technology as for example Google Cast, it doesn't work.

Update:
I follow this steps and made it work, at least in my case:
1) I connect my tv through wifi instead of using the wired connection.
2)I tryed the cast option of miui 11 and it found my tv at once.
3) Once again a i connect my tv using the wired connection.
4)I tryed the cast opcion of miui but this time, instead of letting it search for the tv, i select the tv from de recent device list and it worke just fine.

It will connect if ur tv supports miracast.
1. I have already connected through wifi and miui cast didn't recognise it as my tv had Chromecast receiver.
2. Google apps like YouTube, photos, and video players like MX player are able to find my tv, but not the cast function of miui.
