Netflix not working after pie update - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I updated my phone to android 9 pie yesterday and when I tried opening Netflix it started giving error messages such as restart the app. After restarting the app the message changes to restart the device which also didn't work. I cleared all the data after force closing the app but to no avail. I then uninstalled Netflix and tried to reinstall it but guess what it didn't show up on play store. I then tried googling for Netflix app and from there I opened the play store link which showed that Netflix is not compatible with my device.
I contacted Netflix they said Netflix app is not compatible with latest android which I think is not correct as one of my friend is using Netflix on android pie device. Let me know if anyone else is also facing this issue.

I've just tried it on my phone. First run gave me some "device error" and app closed. When I opened it again, I logged in and am able to play a movie without problems. I'm rooted with Magisk and hiding Magisk from Netflix, not sure if it makes any difference.

Download and install it from apkmirror.com

For me, it does not work anymore in wifi at home (fttc, about 33 mb/s), but it works on 4g and even 3g, and it works at a friend's place with WiFi (connection fttc about 80 mb/s). Amazon prime video, Italian Infinity TV and other streaming services do work properly.

Same here. Got error 'device error' a few times. Then the app restarted and I had to login again. Then it worked.
I guess it is their DRM that gets confused about Android getting an update.

No problem at all in my Mi A1, unrooted with stock android

It seems to be dependent on the network. For me, at home the Netflix app displays its content, but as I try to watch a movie it is stuck forever, and is OK in 4g. If, from the preferences, I test the network, it says that "Netflix Android Server" is unreachable (OK in 4g). From the WiFi at work, everything is OK. From a friend's WiFi, it's OK. Of course all other streaming video app I have (e.g. Amazon Prime Video) work correctly everywhere. It seems to be a problem where local network configuration and provider play a role.
At home, I should try to connect to the network via an USB-Ethernet adapter (I have one which work with Android) and see what happens: if it works, it is a WiFi problem, otherwise it's a problem with the router or the provider.
Another thing to do would be to observe the actual (attempted) exchange between the phone and this "Netflix Android Server" using some network analyzer, and see what happens.

right now i'm having a chat with the netflix customer service. they are trying to figure it out too.
seems funny, because i have flashed back to stock oreo, used the same wifi, and loaded netflix. no problem.
i used pixel experience rom, same wifi, no problem too.
i revert back to stock January pie update, and it just wont log me in. if i use 4g to login, it will be stuck when loading the video stream,

add MSS clamping to the router settings

Hi
I also upgraded my mobile from 8.1 to 9 with january patch and saw that netflix no longer working when over WiFi. So i searched over Internet and saw somewhere a post saying we should enable MSS clamping in the router, i Think this was on a DD-WRT forum.
I have a Ubiquity ER-X as soon as i enabled this on my router netflix worked again. So have a look at the router settings
nevertheless something changed indeed in the System of Android Pie that messes up probably the TCP protocol
Hope this helps you also

woah man, cool. Will try to see. My router is stock from the ISP, hope it is not locked to change the settings.

How do you enable it?i tried but i can't find anything relevant.

HEY GUYS I THINK OUR VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD!
after tirelessly searching the internet to this exact problem i have been facing, someone has brought up this issue to the devs at Google, it was something in Android P causing this problem with WiFi.
here you guys can read about the details here, not only Mi devices are affected, other android one devices also do too.
https://piunikaweb.com/2019/01/16/n...phone-with-wifi-android-pie-could-be-culprit/
so i guess we can wait for a update fix soon

Lowering the MTU size from 1488 (the default) to 1480 on my router appeared to "solve" the problem almost instantly.
For reference, I followed the steps detailed both in How to find the proper MTU size on D-Link router? and in the user manual, which boil down to:
Run ping to determine the maximum packet size by trial and error:
Code:
ping -f -l size
. In my case, the optimal size was 1460.
Determine the MTU size as packet size + 28 = 1460 + 28 = 1488.
Set a sligthly lower MTU value in the router configuration.

I9500 Wi-Fi Connection Issues. ..

Hello Everyone,
Recently (for the past 1 week or so)... I am having serious connection issues with my wi-fi. I cant really say that its an issue with my ISP. All the other devices like PS3, laptop work fine.
Problem is.. when I connect to my wi-fi, the connection stays strong for a a while then browsing, playing games, Facebook just doesn't seem to connect. The Internet connection just dies. I checked the wi-fi settings, it says connection is too weak to use!
It is happening soon after I had the last system update. Can't say if its to blame. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you should try to uncheck from the Advance Wifi Setting the Avoid poor connection option.

Hmm... could not find that setting anywhere.
This may not work, but maybe try a static IP rather than a DHCP-allocated one.
Edit - Yep, you will need to 'forget' the connection & re-add it in order to set a static IP.
Well I tried the static option. But with that the connect button is grayed out.

Search again, because it's your solution. It is a new feature from 4.3. Maybe with different name because our language. It is inside wifi, advanced. If it detects wifi data connection is poor (don't confuse with wifi signal, is different but related), it automatically switch the connection from wifi to 3g/4g to prevent disconnections from the world...

A screenshot will not help you, first because I have it in spanish, second bercause you need to know the route to get that option better than to see it. I will try to translate the name of the option but not 100% sure you will find it as is:
settings->wifi->push left button (menu)->choose "Advanced" on the pop-uped menu->6th option from top says "Automatic network switching (Switch automatically between wifi networks and mobile networks)": uncheck it.

WiFi showing "Connected, no Internet" with exclamation mark

Is anyone else having issues with the 6P or just Marshmallow in general of not being able to connect to any wifi?
think that means connected to network but no internet available
Did you try connecting to a different Wifi network and see if you are having the same issue? I did not see an issue. Might be your router or modem is blocking internet access for your device.

Yes, I tried connecting to multiple wifi networks and it's showing the same thing: "connected, no internet". When I try with another device or laptop, it connects fine to all those wifi networks. It's just my Nexus 5 and 6P running Marshmallow.
I searched around and tried to use a static IP, also changed the frequency band from automatic to 2.4 GHz. Nothing works.
Go to Backup and reset and try a reset on network settings and see if that resolves the issue.
OK, this is interesting. I just found out from a colleague of mine (I'm currently traveling in China), that this is basically saying you are connected to the Internet, but just not to any of the Google services. I just checked and it seems everything pretty much works, except I can't access gmail, Facebook, etc. anything that's blocked by the Great Firewall of China.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone and select phone information & select run ping test and see if it pings google services. It should have been defaulted to Google, atleast it is on myn.
I'm running into the same issue, but I'm in the US. No WiFi network works. And I don't actually have internet.
The odd thing is all my other devices connect to the networks just fine.
I already tried resetting network settings, and rebooting in safe mode, to no avail. I even reset my router to stock and reconfigured.
Anyone else having similar issues?

Oh bottom wrong nexus model... I'm sorry... Didn't notice ?
Sorted it... was my wifi... I changed the channel settings to Auto Performance, then back to Auto Compatibility, and all working again now
Wanted to add for what it's worth: I had the exclamation point on any wifi I connected to and fixed the exclamation point by disabling Adblock Plus.
I've been getting the WiFi exclamation point also. Would AdBlock Plus cause that?

yes ad block was causing it for me too.
i disabled ad blocking from the app, froze the app from titanium backup, removed root access to adblockplus from super su and rebooted and everything is working fine now
Same problem here.
Hard reset and nothing.
The weird thing is that in my house works just fine (5 ghz)

Nexus 6p in China
I am in China. 6P wifi / internet hook up worked fine with Comcast in the US. When I arrived in China I could connect to wifi but it reported no internet access. Went to a Huawei store and they tried hooking up to their local wifi. Same thing - no internet access but connection to wifi made. They sent me to a Huawei testing center 10 minutes away. Got there, the same thing. They could connect with their local wifi but no internet interface. Then they told me they had no permissions to work this phone because it was not authorized inside China. I asked if they could research why it the internet won't connect. They put in a Chinese sim card. WHAM - They could log into the wifi and get internet. Next I tried VPN to see if there was some kind of work around but no avail - VPN needs the internet. The best thing I could I could was to call my service provider to bump up my roaming data speed (Be careful about roaming plan you have - cost $$$$). I have minimal internet access through phone but its not blocked - I can get google.
try fixing ur time

Cannot download app in Google Play Store via Wifi

I got the device yesterday. When I first set up, it couldnt pass "checking connection" after connected to wifi. I passed by switching to LTE. Then I realized that I couldnt download any Play Store apps by wifi (it keeps saying download and then fails). LTE can make normal downloads. Wifi still works for browsing, playing games and any other functions. I did a factory reset, but it didnt get any better. The same result with my brother device (on same wifi network). I am wondering anybody having this issue

Just got my phone from tmobile today, and was having all the same symptoms as you guys. In the back of my head I keep thinking I had the same issue back with my SGS1, but couldn't remember what I did. Worst of all, my SGS3 was working fine on wifi. Finally reading some posts from people with the same issue at Verizon it hit me.
I'm using an old Netgear WNDR3700v2. 3 steps:
1. Disable IPv6
2. ?
3. Profit
Hope this helps.
I had the same issue. If you have access to router settings add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as Static DNS addresses. Those are the standard Google addresses. Fixed my problem.

Could try resetting network connections. Would wipe out saved WiFi and Bluetooth connections so you will have to reconfigure.
Android settings..... System..... Advanced.... Reset.... options..... Reset mobile Bluetooth and wifi.

Finally got the issue fixed by tweaking some router settings. I changed the MTU vakue to 1492 and everything started working perfectly after that ??
