[Discontinued][ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 - Xiaomi Mi 8

[pawo99]

I was making call on newest firmware V12.0.3.0.QEAMIXM and also had that whistle issues on speaker (loud high tone noise). I've switched to firmware V11.0.5.0.QEAMIXM global stable. I made one call and tried replicate the situation and call was without the whisle. Can someone with this issue try this and confirm it?
I've donwloaded firmware from this location

I downloaded the zip, went into Twrp and installed it. Didn't wipe afterwards. Now basesband is AT4.0.c2.6-331-0706_1718_ef0b290 but the problem is still present.
What I find interesting is that during Signal phone calls the bottom microphone is much less sensitive and prone to the touch issue. Somehow Signal gets it right whereas the dialer app fails... But as mentioned before, I already tried a different dialer app without success

I use firmware from 12.0.2.0. I dont have the whistle issue.
Just in case you felt like testing that too.

So can someone report back with GPS info whether or not they can pick up Beidou satellites etc or only GPS and Glonass type ones? If not I can also apply to GPS fix to 18.1 as I've needed for 19.1

Edit: Thanks for confirming its 19.1 problem only. Cheers

Whistles like a blackbird :-(

Yes so we've narrowed it down to a kernel problem. However I havent got enough testers to find out exactly which commit yet causes the problem.

Also I dont think I have working paypal donations as they froze my donation account as it was under a fake name. I'd use my real name but a few years ago had some people harass me and as a result so I've tried not to do that again.

Some people man...Let's do https://liberapay.com/ ?

I have the issue. LineageOS does not see all GPS types. I'm on 18.1-20220519-NIGHTLY-dipper/ with last stable firmware 12.0.3.0

EDIT: Downgraded to firmware 12.0.2.0 / cleaned cache/dalvik + cleared GPS cache + forced GPS data update and my phone still can't see other types of GPS satellites apart from those shown in the screenshot

Hi! Mind sharing what firmware/ build you're using? Did you flash any specific vendor? Trying to figure why I have this issue. It looks like you and @darealthing have GPS working with all satellite types as intended

I was using the latest availble Build and i think(cause i'am not quite sure)the latest Global Firmware(Baseband is 4.0.c2.6-00335-0220_1946_40a1464).

Hi have the same good GPS results as ALGOPOP. I'm using a different Firmware (could be latest China Firmware V12.5.2.0.QEACNXM, but I'm not quite shure). My Baseband is 4.0.c2.6-00335-1011_2201_3c8fca6.

BTW is there a reference-list for identifying the Firmware version from Baseband? Would be nice to have.

Thanks! I will flash the device again and retest. I may just switch over to LOS 19.1 while I am at it and report back. It may just be an issue with my device. I have yet to try China Firmware. I will give it a try before re-flashing, thanks!

EDIT 2: Finally managed to see the Beidou satellites. I reinstalled the 12.5.2 firmware (fw_dipper_miui_MI8_V12.5.2.0.QEACNXM_f5ec813d1c_10.0) and all is working as intended. Not sure why firmware matters for my phone @infrag

How does this compare to Xiaomi.EU?

This like the build you are refer to is a variant of Android. Therefore similar but different.

For those on 18.1 and would like to test a kernel with audio problem fixed try flashing this kernel.

running 18.1-20220602-nightly-dipper and noticed issue with not being able to see other devices on save wifi network. I am using WLED app (colorful led lights running on ESP8266 MCU) It can 'see' other devices connected to same wifi. With LineageOS current build, The app cannot 'see' other devices connected to same wifi network, don't know if this is a NAT thing. I used a different android phone with stock ROM and it was able to see the ESP8266 connected to same wifi network. So I think there is something with this ROM that is not working.

This indirectly fixes all of the issues with translators. When using the mic instead of writing text. The mic was super sensitive so I had a hard time getting it to convert my speech into text.
