Earphone issues - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

I got my Redmi Note 5 (SD636 ) 4 days ago and noticed something strange right away. When media is playing through the speaker, let's say from Spotify or YouTube, and I connect the earphones in the jack while it's playing, the phone takes some seconds to stop the speaker and play on the earphones.
Also when I play PUBG and enable my mic in-game, the sound starts playing from the speakers. Like it ignores the earphones completely. To fix that have to remove the headphones, minimize the app, open it again and then connect it once more.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or just compatibility issues, but the earphones are fine. They are the from Samsung and I got them with my Galaxy S7. I currently don't have another pair to test.
Has anyone else delt with that? Any tips?

Xiaomi Note 4 (Snapdragon) vs Note 4x vs 3 Pro (Snapdragon)

Hello everyone,
I know this is the Q&A for N4P but I still wanna ask because I cant find that much comparasion between these three on english/german.
So, my questions are:
1. Speed? Not gaming, just Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube and such apps.
2. Camera? Normal and low light. I know the N3P has 16 megapixel but I am asking anyways. I just heard that both cameras are ultra bad in low light.
3. Battery? Is there a noticable difference?
Thanks!
Hey, i want to swap my RN3P with the RN4P Global... as i hate MIUI i flashed RR the next day i got the phone. i dont use the RN4P as my daily driver right now but here are my short conclusions from the last 3-4 days.
1. for me both phones act the same in speed while opening stock apps, whatsapp, gallery etc. what i noticed is that while swiping homescreen fast the screen seems to blur a bit. i dont know if thats something from the screen or if its something of the software, because kernel sources havent been released yet for the RN4P. as the development is more mature on the RN3P i cant tell if its a bug or something right now. didnt use MIUI a lot.
2. for me both are good in good light conditions, in low light i think both are same ... same ****ty what i noticed is that with the RN3P i could get a little bit closer to objects and take macro shots ... with the RN4P i have to move bit back.
3. cant compare that right now. as the SN625 is way more efficient then the SD650 the RN4P should be better in battery. if we will notice that on a daily basis ... i cant tell
haha, so i will answer your questions:
1. Speed? Both CPU's are in "daily usage" indistinguishable. 650 is faster in games but need more power then the 625. 625 is a downgrade!
2. Camera is okay for a phone that costs about 200€. Low-Light is bad with massive Picture noise, in daylight RN4 has more colors and contrast.
3. I get about 10 hours with my RN3 and about 11 with my RN4. 2 Days use, only WLAN.
Thanks to both of you!
But yeah, at the end of the day, both phones are almost similiar or? From what I've understood, Snapdragon 650 is better for gaming, Snapdragon 625 for daily usage (Facebook,Whatsapp etc) or?
I mean, the Note 4 / Note 4x is lil bit faster in general (except for gaming)?
yeah they are pretty similiar but i love the look of the RN4P. the case design is way better then on the RN3P. the 2.5glas let it look way more expensive then it is. loudspeaker on the buttom is better then on the back.
And the RN4P is the Redmi Note 4x or what? I cant find any Redmi note 4 pro or something like that. Can you link it to me?
Sorry for off topic but i find this thread is worth to ask for this:
Which device is kenzo? The redmi note 3 or the redmni note 3 pro?

Kenzo = Redmi Note 3 pro (snapdragon)
Kate = Redmi Note 3 Pro Special Edition (snapdragon with band 20 LTE)
Hennessy = Redmi Note 3 = Mediatek processor)

Redmi Note 4 "Pro" is probably the Snapdragon one. The "Pro" part isn't official. That started when people online started calling the Redmi Note 3 SD as RN3Pro.
Redmi Note 4X is just the Snapdragon version(Indian) sold in China. As they already have Note 4(Mediatek) there. The only difference are Note 4X has a lot more colors available and it has Bluetooth 4.2 instead of 4.1 on Indian Note 4. ROMs for RN4SD works on 4X as some have stated(can't confirm, I don't own the phone)

"Pro" isn't official but people use it to refer to the Snapdragon version aka Kenzo and Kate.

Thanks! That means speed wise and battery wise are both Note 4 and Note 4x same devices? The 4x has more colors and looks "more beautiful"?
But still, would you suggest me Note 3 Pro or the Note 4 / Note 4x? As I have said, gaming is not my thing. I just wanna apps open fast and the battery life.
Also, do you know if there is a Note 4x version with lte Band 20? I think there is Note 4 with lte Band 20. but since 4x has more colors, I would rather take that one.
thanks

No, 4 and 4X are not the same device, completely different body design, you should take 4X if you can, it also has better display, and with SD625 you get more screen-on time...

The Note 4 that was sold in India also has SD 625. It also looks the same aside from wider range of colors for the 4X, 5(?) Instead of 3. I'm pretty sure you're talking about the Mediatek version. If you really read my post, you'll see that I'm talking about the Indian variant.

For now none. And who knows if it will have one. Note 3 Kate(Special Edition) has it.
Here: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8580&idPhone2=8531
As you can see Note 4 SD have the same dimensions and weight as the Note 4X.
I don't know if you can import The Indian variant but if you don't live in India you'd probably be better off with 4X as the LTE on the Indian one is limited.
Also the 4/64 variant of the note 4X uses a mediatek chipset. If you want the more efficient, battery friendly SD 625 then stick with the 3/32 variant. If you can't live without the Band 20 then your only choice would be Note 3 Pro Kate. Or maybe another brand though I don't know anything about those..

Yes, but Note 4 Global looks just like 4X design wise.. So Xiaomi made a mistake, they have device with the same name in 2 different designs.
http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_620903.html
Hi people, above the link. I ordered this one. It should be the Note 4 or the Note 4x (I dont understand it yet) with LTE Band 20 or?
I just dont understand where is the difference between International version and Global version.
I guess theres nothing "big" between those two.

AS i read in German boards...
Global = Band 20 LTE
International = only with international ROM, no band 20 LTE

That means I ordered the right one.. happy because of that really because I was unsure about the names.
Just one question. I'm an aosp/cm user for few years already. Is there any rom available for this phone that should be used over standard miui? reasons maybe battery life, camera, speed?

I didn't even know there was a global version of the Note 4. All I know is the Indian Note 4 is basically the Note 4X. The Chinese Note 4 looks more premium(has a metal unibody) than both the Indian and Note 4X but uses Mediatek chipset(not so good at battery department, even note 3 pro beats it). So the Global Note 4 looks the same as the Note 4X only with Mediatek chipset? The Global Note 4 also has SD 625 and the same spec sheet aside from LTE bands and Bluetooth 4.2.
You can flash a ROM for the Indian Note 4 to Note 4X which confirms that they are indeed the same.

Sorry didn't know there was a Global Note 4 with band 20. Good thing you bought the correct one.
Wait for the source code to be released(someone said it's near, don't know if it was already as of this writing) for better stability. Right now you'd probably be better off with MIUI. If you can't stand MIUI I'd recommend AOSP Extended ROM.

Wrong, they recently released a 4GB/64GB Version of the Note 4 Global which uses the same SD 625 (this 20 of april if i recall correctly) , it's not exclusive to the Mediatek CPU

Stupid Xiaomi doing it again releasing the same model with different hardware. As if their naming sense wasn't confusing enough.

Bluetooth quality problem during calls

Hi
I have serious problem with my Redmi note 4x.
When using Bluetooth headset during the call, the audio quality is very poor. The audio I hear is like low bitrate audio (like comparing 128Kb with 320Kb). I'm using Jabra Stealth - and this headset working perfectly with other phones.
I was using stable ROM, and now upgraded to the latest 9 ROM, dev...
Problem same...Poor volume during calls, and good quality during BT music play (using in my car).
I was searching a lot of forums for a solution, and seems no one can help. I also see that I'm not a first person with this problem. Several threads open on official forum for Xiaomi on that. No solution, but only advises to replace some files in ROM, that original from Cyanogen
Hope some one can assist
dude you have posted in the wrong section....
you should have asked this in ques and ans section...
Try using this Dolby atoms app flash it from MOD recovery

any other ideas? I was reading some threads and there was some advise changing files that related to BT configuration.
Any solution, am having the same issue on a Redmi 4X
I too cannot enjoy calls via bluetooth on my Redmi Note 4x. I think Xiaomi placed cheap Bluetooth hardware.

GPS and other questions about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5

Hi. Didn't quite know what sub-topic to post this in so forgive me if it's the wrong one. Anyway, I want to buy a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 phone and need to know the following:
- is the GPS/navigation feature any good? This is crucial to me since I'll be relying on it to get me where I'll need to go. Are there any reported problems with it?
- is the screen display bright or at least readable in sunlight? My current crap android phone is utterly useless in direct sunlight, or even just outside on a sunny day.
This will be my first high performance android phone. Will be upgrading from a cheap Unimax U673c phone. I plan to use it with Red Pocket Mobile service on this plan. I live in western Massachusetts. Thanks for any help.
This forum is for other device. Go to redmi note 5 pro forum (global version doesn't have the pro but xda named it with Indian version name with pro).
Anyway on redmi 5 plus gps works very well and for me the brightness is correct outside when sunny. I think for redmi note 5 will be the same...
Okay, thanks. I'll repost this in the Pro topic then since I'd like as much feedback as possible on this.

is there a mixer mod/module/anything that makes the phone output 2 separate stereo audio streams?
having two audio/media players playing, one outputs sound to the phone jack, the other outputs sound to usb c (which can be connected to some soundcard/DAC).
i found some mods on xda enabling the earpice to work as second speaker. thats not what i am looking for.

This is new to me. I didn't even know it was possible to have two instances of media players running simultaneously outputting to different ports. You must tell us when you get it to work. Although I don't understand what kind of activity would warrant such a mod. Please elaborate what you plan yo use dual sound output for. TIA.

Xiaomi GTS 2 BT issue when answering phone with Xiaomi Redmi Note 8

Hello All,
I have the note 8 with MIUI 12.0.6.
I bought yesterday the Xiaomi GTS 2 smartwatch. I paired (BT) the smartwatch first with an iphone 12 and the watch is working excellent including answering and talking via the watch. My issue is that after pairing the smartwatch with my xiaomi note 8 whenever I try to answer any call it immediately disconnected from the phone. It looks like an issue with BT.
on watch i get the message "the connection to the mobile phone is broken, please use the mobile is broken, please use the mobile phone calls".
any idea ?

I believe the issue is that the watch requires BT version 5 and the phone has BT version 4.
