Hello all,
I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Global (joyeuse).
I have been, for the last three days, hopping between all of the ROMs available for my device (joyeuse) only to be disappointed by one very persistent and insufferable bug on each.
Quite simply, none of the ROMs I have tried, as listed below, have a working speaker at the top of the screen. Some of them don't have any sound whatsoever, others use the large speaker at the bottom, and this is not adequate for me due to a fundamental desire for privacy and noise isolation in public.
I have tried, to name a few, crDroid, EvolutionX, ArrowOS, AOSPK, Pixel Experience, Pixel Experience Plus, and Pixel Extended. These are just what I can remember, I have tried more than this.
I have also attempted using the myriad of custom kernels available in effort to mitigate this issue. None have worked.
I even tried to flash over the ROMs with official firmware, and I thought about flashing vendor images from Xiaomi Firmware Updater but hit a dead-end, because I do not know how to properly flash the image.
Any assistance with this, or suggestions for a good ROM or kernel to solve these issues would be HUGELY appreciated, because at this point I'm considering buying a new phone for better ROM support.
I've seen reports of this bug since the device launched. It was listed in one of the weekly bug report threads in the 'mi community' app/forum. It had a status update saying the bug was in the chipset and xiaomi was awaiting a patch from qualcomm. The thread has since been edited and the update removed. That's all the info I have

yes I have the same issue after I upgraded to MIUI 12.5 - it's awful. I am still on sotck and was hoping to flash to fix the issue but it looks like other ROMs dont fix it. So I will sty on stock until there's a fix.
what. a. pain !!!!!!
Same issue for me. Currently running evolution x on my Redmi note 9 pro. This is a great phone, but this bug is driving me crazy. I haven't tried any custom kernels, but from what the original person said, it didn't help. Interesting. Does anyone know if this issue affects the Redmi note 10 pro? I'm debating on getting that but want to know if the Redmi note 10 pro has the same issue. Ideally, I'm looking for a phone with good rom support, and has dual sim, or esim and a micro SD card slot.
Any update on this? I'm on a joyeuse as well with the same problem.
I found a solution, please read here and let me know if it works for you.

It worked! Thanks! The only strange thing is the first test call after I booted up the phone, the earpiece was finally working properly but the loud speaker wasn't working properly when I put the call on speaker. But on the next test call everything worked fine again.
Glad it worked for you. I Have no idea why this works, or what the bug really is, but i'm pretty happy to have my phone working again.

Hi all
Please bare with me as I'm not the best when it comes to typing out what im thinking or trying to say
This info is mainly for our awesome devs but also for everyone else. Shout outs to @Unjustified Dev @DrakenFX @tdm and anyone else who can fix this
I was just wanting to help get this fixed as this one bug is keeping a lot of users including myself from moving away from stock and enjoying all the other roms available. I believe the bug has to do with the the work our beloved anonymous dev who helped correct the speaker issues a few months ago. Specifically this---> https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/168154/.
I'm pretty confidant it has nothing to do with any of the different modems people are flashing. I have tested this with all of the different modem versions for my G variant and none have made a difference
Also, there are other users that are getting this bug confused with another potential bug that has to do with distorted sound coming out when activating speakerphone while in call or something like that. I have not experienced that bug so I dont know the specifics. People are just using the term "Speakerphone bug" as both of these bugs involve the speakerphone
Now I can create the bug at will and have attached logcats below in the different scenarios. Hopefully the info is there for those who know how to fix
The steps I do to recreate the bug are as follows
1 - unlock phone and using the volume buttons, make sure the ringtone is NOT set to vibrate/silent and Do Not Disturb is NOT activated.
2 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, no issues. Person on the other side can hear perfectly. Repeat as many times as you want, sound always comes through earpiece
3 - using volume buttons, reduce ringtone volume to vibrate/silent or turn on Do Not Disturb
4 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, Hang up
5 - With the ringtone still set to silent/vibrate, turn the screen off using the power button and let it sit for about 5 - 10 seconds
6 - Unlock the phone and try to make a call. Call will connect but no sound will come from earpiece. Person on the other side can hear everything as per normal but we cant hear them
7 - While in call, toggle the speakerphone or if you have dial pad sounds enabled in the sound menu, press a number on the dial pad, sound now comes through earpiece as expected
From my testing and the procedure above, you can see that the bug happens when the phones ringer is put in silent/vibrate or when do not disturb is activated and the phone is locked/unlocked.
logcat 1 is with everything working normally, ringtone set to sound and call coming through earpiece as expected
logcat 2 is with ringtone set to silent and making a call. No sound comes from earpiece
logcat 3 is the same as 2 but during the call toggling speakerphone to fix
Now I dont know what is going on in the logs but I do see a lot of errors from "TFA9890"
This was all done on a fresh install of the universal bootloader, twrp 3.1.1.0, A2017G N Modem, latest LOS and Open Gapps mini and logcats were captured with MatLog on my G variant
Oh see this is Incredibly interesting, because tfa4990 is the route being used.... This is potentially incredibly helpful!!!!
I'm going to analyze these I've the weekend and see if I can figure something out. Thank you for the logs
Interesting timing on this post. I've been working on the axon7mini the past 10 days or so, and it also uses the tfa9890 amp. So I've started to familiarize myself with how all this stuff works. (I have pretty much zero experience with android audio in the past).
Fantastic post, well done. I have only encountered the problem a couple of times but upon reading what you wrote a little light bulb went off, that is exactly the situation that it occurs for me as well. It's this sort of interaction and support between the users and devs at xda have that makes it all so worthwhile. Thanks again.
As someone who's dealt with this bug for a long, long time... I have to commend you on a fantastic post. Thanks, and I hope this leads to a solution!
I hope this is looked into in the process of porting LOS 15. Would be cool to see this issue disappear.
Would this bug also happen on the U variant? I tried to recreate it using the steps above and it worked fine.

I think I have read somewhere that it is not affecting U which might be the reason this has not yet been fixed but I cannot remember where I read this.
We would need the logs from an U variant to check if it looks the same.

It does affect the U variant. I have one and it happened a few times that when I would call someone I had no ringing tone coming from the earpiece unless I toggled the speakerphone on/off.
same problem here in a2017g aosp extended...
So I take it we can give up trying to solve this? Seems to exist in all non stock roms.
Wish someone would fix it. I don't even know where to begin, and with what I've read about the axon 9, i wont be switching phones for quite some time.

did you guys try the fix that @Miustone plasters all over XDA?
@Miustone Could you make a flashable zip with ONLY THAT ONE FIX for the Fluence stuff? Pretty please?

Fluence settings will not fix driver implementation. Miustone's claims are misleading. I have tested it to death
The only way to fix would be by a Dev with audio skills. Good luck finding one. I've tried
Stay on a stock roms or risk not hearing in calls in other roms

I fixed all Mic Bugs, Just the Echo is left which seams to came from /system/vendor/etc. Don't blame Me for the Bugs, i never touched the Sources of the Axon 7 and besides Kranoner has No Dev ever asked Me about it again. That My Patch is fixing Bugs means Just that there are Things Missing which are working and present on other Devices too...
I was coming from the LG G5 which has used almost the Same Fluence and Mic Configs as currently present in the Patch. Point.

Well, you have a chance to prove it! Make a flashable zip with ONLY the call bug fixes. If it actually fixes their problems then they'll believe you. otherwise they're right not to.
It's next to pointless using a custom rom if you want a good daily driver.
I bought this phone because I thought things like this could be solved this day and age but I won't be making that mistake next time!

Omg who is blaming you for bugs? Your claiming you fixed it but many others still have this issue
This thread is not about mic issues. Please re-read first post and for the hell of it, check out the logcats. They might help you actually fix it
Unless your digging into the audio/dac driver code, I'm doubtful it will ever be fixed
Why do yall think its the driver? I dont have any problems with audio, its how the Phone app is handling it. If i was to debug this I would check the source for the Phone app and trace it from there. It seems like something might not be using the driver correctly, but the driver seems to be working fine. I could be wrong but I'm not new to linux and android, just no experience with audio development.
Maybe try installing stock phone app on LOS or RR and see if it still has problems. That would either show where the problem is or eliminate Phone app from being source of problem.
Hi, are there any problems with this smartphone? I'm coming from a Moto G4 with a screen burn-in issue, and I've read somewhere that this phone has it too, but I hope only some phones have it.
Also how is the microphone issue that some people claim it to have a bad quality? Has it been solved with official updates or only with community solutions?
Any other issues that I should be aware of?
I'm using xiaomi.eu rom right now, first time unboxing i got global stable MIUI8 rom, updated it to MIUI9. These 3 rom i haven't encounter any bugs related to audio, incall is fine, speakerphone doing good, recording audio or video went nice.
But i also try aosp custom rom, AEX, RR, even Xenon HD gave me the incall bug, nobody hear me whether i do the call or i took some calls.
the only way i can chat is using the apeakerphone mode.
i'm reading and searching for the same problem but no one did.
they had aosp custom rom running fine
do i did something wrong while flashing the rom?
only God knows
So i'm currently using kenzo as my main device. I had RR Pie installed until I came across this very annoying bug. I use a bluetooth headset for almost 4-5 hours everyday. It all worked fine until I noticed that calling using the headset was impossible. There is a sound like a machine gun is being fired in the background. It makes my phone obsolete.
I thought this was a bug on RR so I changed to Pixel Exp. and the same thing is happening. Couldn't find a solution on the internet but found a person who posted on the RN3 forum here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/help/call-bluetooth-audio-problem-oreo-pie-t3836462
According to this guy, the bug is present in the oreo and pie roms. I haven't confirmed this myself. I am still downloading the stock rom to test it out. I guess it has something to do with the bluetooth modem. I will keep you guys posted on this. I hope someone replies to this.
UPDATE : I installed the stock rom. It's working. It's a bug on Pie and Oreo roms.

I flashed the Stock Rom just to test things out and it's working again. AOSP Extended doesn't have this bug ? I would be great if it doesn't.
Update : Flashed AEX, working fine.
Hi Guys,
I had recently bought my new Redmi Note 9 Pro. I hate MIUI so I unlocked my phone, installed LRTWRP and flashed Evolution X custom ROM on it. But the ROM has one issue and it is big (atleast for me) - BT Audio - BT Headphones get connected but no audio is coming.
First I thought maybe it is a problem with my phone or headphones but when I read the same bug description in the LineageOS thread and in the Pixel Experience thread then I understood that it is a problem with the ROMs.
I want to know if there's any development going around to fix this issue or is there any temporary solution to it?
Thank You!

Your post is going to be buried here without any "good" answer. Better you adress it directly to the rom/dev section where these custom rom have devoted section.
Hey all,
Am I the only one having issues during phone calls? When I call someone, sometimes the call drops randomly and I hear a network fail sound. I can't reproduce it. Sometimes it happens, others don't. Does anyone experience the same or have any solution? I have tried both SIM slots and doesn't help in any way. I have 4g coverage so I don't believe it's a problem with my network provider (vodafone).
Thanks
PS: Why not change the thread title to include 9S model as well?

Is it confirmed? I just returned the smartphone to the shop and asked for a refund since I could not find anyone with the same issue. Now, I'm reluctant to ask for another equipment since it is very frustrating to have such a bug as calls dropping randomly.

Hello it´s append to to me also,, I´m from Portugal to.
I use this phone for work, and phone calls drop randomly
Same
Just glad I'm not the only one but yes this problem is very annoying
I really want to give xiaomi a chance but this is the most basic function of a phone and it's failing
Previously it also had an issue of losing internet connection but I think they fixed that with a patch so hopefully there will be one soon with this call dropping issue (also sometimes I cannot receive calls either…)
randomly happens.
I'm on 11.0.8.0 USA
I hope they fix it. I really like this phone.
I ended up returning the phone. It is really annoying and as you said it's the most basic function of a phone. I'll be waiting for a fix and/or another model. I don't believe they'll fix it before miui 12 since it's just around the corner and that update may bring other bugs so they must not be fixing any bugs of miui 11. Just my 2 cents, of course.
I enabled wifi calling and its now stable when I am on wifi.
I use tmobile.
Enter these codes into the Dialer to enable the options in Settings. (Settings < SIM Cards & mobile networks < Sim Card Settings < VoLTE Enabled/Make Calls using WLAN)
VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*
VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#*
Things should work after you enable the two options.
I use wifi calling as well as network calling guys, every lengthy call eventually gets dropped. Very annoying!
I love the phone and I am holding hope in resolving these issues by flashing a custom rom. I asked the question regarding the call dropping and wifi bug in the Evolution X thread, apparently all is working well without problems with that rom.

I'm not sure. I've been keeping an eye out in the custom ROM threads for any mention of the two bugs. I haven't seen anything at all.
I asked the dev in the Evolution X thread and he confirmed all is working well regarding this. It seems that development is very active with that ROM, I really want to flash it but there are a few reports of people getting bootloop errors initially, and we still don't have the official TWRP.
I love Miui, after all you can freeze out or remove many of the pesky apps, it works well but it's just the call dropping and the wifi bugs that are plaguing many. This is a major issue that doesn't seen to be getting resolved. Pretty disappointing really.

I read that the developer QuantumShqipe has received some donations now to continue the ongoing work of Evo x which is great news for the development.
Just a note on wifi calling with Miui, I still get call dropping with wifi calls, even though I can be right next to the router. I also notice that the wifi calling icon is on and off. I never stays constantly on when in good range of the router. The preference is even set to 'prefer wifi to network' in settings. Putting the phone in airplane mode helps that problem but it's crazy having to do all these work arounds. Like you, and everyone else I just wish the issue would get fixed ASAP. I have never known any phone to have it's most obvious function fail.
You know what, Xiaomi developers knew about this problem with wifi/call drops. Of course they did. But management decided to rush the product to market to generate more sales. I feel stupid for buying a brand new phone but not in my wildest imagination could I believe they would mess up the very basic fundamental functions of a smart-phone.

Totally agree Tangoviking. I really hope someone of some importance at Xiaomi is taking note here. It's a total disgrace. Not even a reassuring mention of a fix.

I'm holding off for official mui 12 which I'm hoping its soon.
I just updated to 11.0.9.0 yesterday. So far I haven't noticed any drops but then again I haven't really used the phone for more than 1-minute duration.
Any tentative date of mui 12 release?

I too will be holding off until Miui 12, that will be the decider. I haven't a clue when it's rolling out, I thought late June but we're already there. I'm not bothering with any updates until then unless it's specific to the bugs.
More or less same issue
i also need some help. Redmi Note 8, with MIUI Global 11.09.9 Stable. The call drops in the middle of the conversation, that is, I can still hear my calling partner, but they cannot hear me anymore. It happens at random, not always but mostly, also, it happens after 1 minute or 5 or 10 minutes, not logical. Anybody? Already tried everything I think....
Redmi Note 9S - call dropping issue
I have the same problem with call dropping irregularly. The phone function is totally unreliable.
I tried many MIUI's so far:
11.0.3 (EU-official)
11.0.4 (EU-official)
11.0.4 (EU-XTRV from the Greek forum)
11.0.8 (Global-official)
11.0.11 (Global-official)
The problem persists with all of them, which means that most probably it is a hardware issue with a batch of this model.
