Mi Mix 2S Global ROM Wifi and Notifications Problems - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Bought a new Mix 2S with the Global ROM installed (global version) on ebay. Installed Nova Launcher so I could have the app drawer, etc. Loving the phone except 2 major problems have cropped up and am wondering if others have seen it/have solutions.
1. Wifi looses the internet connection often; it shows "connected; no internet" and the phone stops working without a data connection. I am sitting near the router and my other phones have no problem but the mix won't hold the connection even after several reboots. I have to turn wifi on/off or reboot to get the connection back. Zero problems on cellular connections - it's only wifi.
2. Notification sounds stop working. When the phone is awake and for a few minutes afterward, notification sounds work fine then stop. I've shut off miui optimizations in developer options, shut off battery savings for all apps in the battery panel and have confirmed all the apps for which I want to get notifications have the notification options selected under apps yet - notification sounds stop working pretty quickly after the phone sleeps.
Any advice/guidance on these issues would be appreciated. Without a reliable data connection (and I need wifi deep in my building to get internet) the phone is useless and I've stopped using it after a few days.

This bug still remains in latest build (8.10.11). in miui per/app notifications option, notifications are activated by default, BUT yoo can see a few options below each app notification page switch: Sound, vibration, show on lockscreen, show headup....
By default, I seem to remember only vibration option is activated, so here (and on each conversation you got a notification in the case of telegram) you have to activate all options you want: sound, show on lockscreen....
After a while, all this activated options will be resetted by the system (we dont know why) and will switch back to its defaults >> "only vibrate and dont show on lock screen" combination.

Anyone else notice anything strange about Enabling Data?

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is just my phone or not, but I can't seem to disable the data connection outside of the widget from the notification bar.
I first noticed the problem when I was attempting to create a profile that would turn off the data connection and back on every 15 minutes, but it failed to do anything.
Afterwards, I tried out some apps such as Widgetsoid2.x and put Mobile Data and 2G/3G onto the widget. However, I noticed that turning off the data from the widget would show it being off on the widget but it'll remain on in the notification bar. If i turn it off through the notification bar, the widget on the homescreen would be off. However, clicking the homescreen widget to turn it on would bring up the Mobile Network Settings screen with a toast saying, "Enable Data First".
Anyone else got this problem or have a solution?
Its not just you, I have profiles setup using Llama to switch WiFi on and off depending on where I am and of course I have it turn data off when WiFi is on.
Now I'm not sure if its a glitch related to turning it off manually, but it doesn't seem to turn back on when out of range of WiFi despite having a rule setup to do that. Yet other rules work perfectly. I just assumed it was a bug with Llama and figured I could like with it.

battery notification popup

When unplug charger. The notification pop up
Disconnected from the charger. Current battery level is at 63. Anyone have this? Is there any way to stop getting this notification?
Never mind. I had to turn off in Services under Accessibility. If you turn one of them. The notification will pop up. That's weird. I only turned one (Cygery Adskip Service) on for YouTube to skip 5 second automatically. Now I had to turn it off to prevent battery notification pop up.
Did you ever find another workaround? I've been getting bugged by the same popup on my Honor 8 but I have a few apps I would like to keep using the accessibility service for (like Tasker)
weird i never had issue like that.. never gotten that battery notification pop up before too

Mi Mix 3 Notification Issues

I've just yesterday gotten a Mi Mix 3 and set it up accordingly, and I'm finding MIUI okay as a whole except for some issues with notifications I'm having. Basically:
Some apps that send push notifications will only send them to the notification shade. No notification icon, no pop-up alert, no lock screen notification (more on that later), no sound, no vibration, no notification light. This is all completely independent of the notification settings of the app. I can turn everything on and it still won't show. Some apps show fine, such as discord and messages, but they still won't show on the lockscreen:
No notifications showing on the lockscreen at all. For apps that do send notifications, only the sound and notification light will display when I receive one, but checking both the lockscreen and notification shade whilst the phone is locked will show me nothing until I unlock it. This is while "Lock screen notifications" is enabled in the app notification channel.
No per-app notification sounds. This is most likely less of a bug and more of a missing implementation, but since this is a base Android feature now is there alternate way to enable these?
Settings specific to these issues:
In "Lockscreen & Password / Advanced Settings / On Lock Screen" the phone is set to "Show all notifications and their contents".
In "Lockscreen & Password / Notifications" it's set to "Show Animation".
In "Notifications & Status bar" "Show notification icons" and "Show on lock screen" is on.
MIUI version is fully updated at 10.2.1.
Anyone got any idea?
Many thanks
For me i had to activate it for each app seperately, that i wanted notifications from. Except for apps that already gave me notifications like snapchat. I know i had to do it manually on instagram for example

Strangely, by going into the app notification settings and changing the settings off and on again it seems to have fixed the problem? At least for the actual app's I've tested (twitter and discord).
I've also tried with an app called push notification tester however and this has the same 1. and 2. issues. I'm not sure what the difference is but if it works for important stuff at least that's what matters.
To everyone else the 3rd question still stands; is there a way to get app-specific notification sounds in MIUI 10?
The simple solution is to install a non-MIUI-based ROM.
Have someone found out how to set per app notification sound?

LOL. Stop fat-shaming it! Weight was one of my biggest concerns coming from a Galaxy S5, and the MM3 is heavy, but you do get used to it after a couple of weeks.

Literally burst out laughing in a meeting where I'm the lowest man on the totem pole by far, oops.
I'm having this same problem again myself
Even Xiaomi apps like YiCam don't work right half the time.
The notification inconsistency in MIUI is one of the biggest reasons that I just listed mine for sale. No matter how many times I've gone through individual app settings and overall notification settings, it never works as expected. And my expectation is only for it to work as the settings that I've selected indicate. It makes me a little sad actually... this was my first Xiaomi device and I ended up liking MIUI way more than I thought I would (especially compared to EMUI... which is complete trash). Oh well... on to the next.
I run an app called Notification Repeater(apk) and it seems to address any of the inconsistencies that MIUI has with Notifications(or lack there of). I use another app called AutoNotification(by joaomgcd on the Play Store i believe) to block some notifications such as "x app is diplaying over other apps" that never seem to go away.
I know it kind of sucks to have to find a work around to use a phone when realistically it would be nice if your phone just worked the way you wanted it to out of the box..but since installing these apps i have been more than happy with my current situations when it comes to Notifications.
I've also had similar problems. In addition to manually turning on each apps notification in settings (Have to remember this for every time I download an app as well) I've aslo downloaded the app 'Notification Repeater' which has helped significantly. I get absolutely ZERO notifications on the lock screen though which is something I still haven't figured out how to fix without switching ROMs. I hope someone can figure something out.

It is sort of thick but is the densest phone I've ever held. Got used to it after a week or two though, I don't think it's a deal breaker

can't turn off vibration

I specifically noticed that messenger, and some apps such as xiaomi find device (there are probably others more but don't notice those as much) will still vibrate the phone when displaying notifications. I had turned all vibration related settings off both in app and the phone settings and but the vibrations persist. Turning off the app notification solves it but that kinda defeats the purpose of having notifications at all. Any tips how to fix these? I noticed that it got worse with the latest update, in previous versions of miui the vibrations are temperamental, now it's just there always
Long press the icon of the app which is causing you notifications. Select App Info. Scroll down till you see "Notifications". From there you can turn off vibrations and other things with granular control.

Question Persistent Wi-Fi Call notification

Hello,
I have noticed that the Wi-Fi Calling notification does not go away even if I turn Wi-Fi Calling off. I have already put the notification to silent and reduced but it constantly sits there and annoys me. Does anyone know a trick how to get rid of it completely? The options for disabling it are greyed out and cannot be turned off. My S21 Ultra which had the same e-SIM, came from the same region, did not have that issue although the function was turned on 24/7.
The package which causes those notifications is com.sec.unifiedwfc.
EDIT: At the moment I have blocked the notifications using AutoNotification app from the store.

I did check it but could not find anything useful. The one thing that could have helped, notification snooze time change, has failed to apply even though I granted all permissions via ADB. The app suggested to use OneUI Tuner but it is not available on xda labs when I open the official link.
Sorry, I thought you were talking about the notification on the status bar
can you share a screenshot of what you are seeing? not fully understanding the issue here

It is just the carrier pushing for Wifi call. Tmobile does that.
What I do? I turn of wifi right when a call comes. The HD+ is much better without wifi.

If you put it to silent it will look as in the screenshot. Turning off is greyed out.
