    Pad Incredibly Slow...

    My pad is running MIUI 8.3 by xiaomi.eu 7.5.4. It runs acceptable most of times but it frequently just freezes for 30 seconds or even longer. It would not react to any button or screen gestures. It is most annoying when reading news on a web site and device is not reacting to anything for a felt...

    Wifi Problems

    I recently updated to xiaomi.eu 7.3.30. I did a factory reset when first replacing the original Chinese ROM by xiaomi.eu. I ignored this "feature" quite some time, but now it gets annoying...

    this seems not to be the problem. The file named mac.txt exists in /config/wifi and looks correct.

    Wifi Problems

    with all versions of the ROM I'm using, I have the same frequent issues with WiFi connections... I'm using 2 WiFi connections at home (Shanghai/China). One works via VPN, the other is directly connected to China Telecom. Normally the Pad is supposed to be connected to the VPN. But frequently it...

    How To Remove Unwanted System Apps... What Is Whetstone?

    When scanning the apps in the ROM I came across the Whetstone app. I remembered that some other users reported problems concerning this app. Therefore I'd like to know what this app is doing, what it is good for :)

    How To Remove Unwanted System Apps... What Is Whetstone?

    I have some apps, which are installed as system apps with the xiaomi.eu ROM, which I'd like to remove. As one example, I'd like to get rid of the original miui calendar, as I prefer to use the Google calendar app. Now 2 calendar apps are posting reminders ... Is it possible to remove...

    Background Apps Are Stopped Automatically

    How can I prevent background apps like e.g. a VPN app from being shut down automatically and unexpectedly? In the battery usage settings I set the related apps to "no restrictions", yet the apps are still stopped after a short time. What else could help with that?

    Bluetooth Not Working With Miui.eu 6.9.1

    Luckily my problem is solved :) Don't ask why... my Pad switched off last night due to an empty battery. After charging and restarting the device, BT is working like a charm. I have no idea why the restarts I performed before did not work the same. Anyhow - problem solved :D

    Luckily my problem is solved :) Don't ask why... my Pad switched off last night due to an empty battery.

    Can anybody share some experience on the power consumption of the device depending on the setting of "MIUI optimizations"? I'd be interested to learn, if there is some statistical data available :)

    What Are The Miui Optimizations?

    After activating the developer options in settings, I find at the end of the list the possibility to deactivate "MIUI optimizations". What are these mysterious optimizations and is it advised to keep them switched on? Thanks Stefan

    I can't activate Bluetooth on my pad. Bluetooth is switched off and remains switched off. Switching BT on in the settings does not show any effect. Anyone also experienced this?

    Invisible Directories On Pc

    Sorry to say... It's not working. I'm logged in as administrator to my Windows 10, but I still only see the same list of directories. It's interesting, all directory names the Windows Explorer displays start with a capital letter. The other directories on the "internal memory" are all lower-case...

    Invisible Directories On Pc

    When connecting the Pad (MIUI.eu 8 6.8.25) to the PC it appears as a MTP device on USB, as expected. However I can't see all directories that exist on /sdcard in the PC file browser. E.g. the navigation apps Osmand and Oruxmaps create their data directories on /sdcard, but they don't show up on...

    Instruction, How To Fix Google Market Error 963 Part 2

    After I had problems getting MIUI.eu to run, I flashed my Pad back to the original Chinese ROM and flashed GApps (nano/x86_64) from OpenGapps.org before I booted the system. As Gapps still didn't work I rebooted into the bootloader and performed a "fastboot format data" - seemed to be...

    Instruction, How To Fix Google Market Error 963 Part 2

    It seems to me, that hint 7.1 does not work in all cases. I formatted the Data partition from fastboot. Rebooting into TWRP I still found Data to have the "auto" format information. I was expecting this to be ext4. Reformatting to ext4 from TWRP finally fixed the FS format of Data for me. In...
