Hi,
I'm using a POCO F6 Pro with Xiaomi.eu HyperOS 3.0.303.0 Stable.
Redmi Buds 6 (M2429E1, firmware 1.1.6.8) pair and work normally:
- Fast Pair works
- Xiaomi Earbuds settings are available
- Audio and controls work correctly
However, opening the charging case never shows the HyperIsland popup, and the headset icon in the status bar is missing.
I tested Redmi Buds 5 on the same phone and the same ROM. HyperIsland and the headset icon work correctly with Buds 5.
It seems to be an issue specific to Redmi Buds 6.
Can anyone confirm this?
 
I checked the following:
- Google Fast Pair works correctly.
- com.mi.earphone is installed.
- com.xiaomi.hypercomm is installed.
- Required SystemUI/Bluetooth overlays are enabled.
- Bluetooth metadata is received correctly (manufacturer_name = Xiaomi Inc., model_name = Redmi Buds 6).
- dumpsys bluetooth_manager reports the device correctly and receives Fast Pair metadata, so Bluetooth communication appears to be working as expected.
Because Redmi Buds 5 work correctly on the same ROM, this looks like a missing integration or compatibility issue specific to Redmi Buds 6.
 
I think it can be problem with old versions of miui systemui apk, if author can update it, this will be nice
