Xiaomi Mi4 common problems users have and their fixes.

Xiaomi Mi4 common problems users have: Xiaomi Mi4 is a big hit in Chinese smart phone market and other parts of the world. Xiaomi is about to release Mi4 this Feb in Indian market. I am willing to buy this phone and for this I have studied Xiaomi Mi4 common problems users have. So if you are looking for this device then I must suggest you must go through these problems so that when you face them troubleshooting is not a difficult task.

READ:

will surely come with latest version of MIUI and hopefully it will be bugs and error free. But still after going through MIUI forum it seems people are getting some problems. These are as follows

Here is summary of above problems that I have collected from Xiaomi forum.

Recently bought Xiaomi Mi4 its signal reception strength is very poor especially in WCDMA. I hope it is not because of bad quality antenna.

MIUI browser v6 is very slow and buggy. Sometimes unable to open.

Whenever I tried to connect my Xiaomi Mi4 with Wi-Fi, signal strength is very poor and signal drops continuously. Sometimes it shows authentication error.

The Mi4 camera often has noise and blurs on taken photos. The quality of the images is often bad.

I hope this is a software issue that gets fixed in future updates, and not because of bad hardware.

Phone automatically goes to home-screen after 3-4 seconds. I am not able to change any settings or other due to this problem.

Read Xiaomi Mi4 common problems andtheir solutions one by one below:

Problem: Xiaomi Mi4 signal reception strength is very poor. Phone often disconnects or shows poor signal while other devices works fine.

MUST READ:

Solution: Remove and re-insert your SIM card to check if it was inserted properly inside the SIM tray. Try to connect your carrier service manually. For this go to settings >> networks and search for available networks in your area. Now select your operator and restart your device.

Problem: MIUI browser very laggy and slow. Although they will give a solid update for their browser but if you still fells their browser is very slow or crashes then follow these steps

Solution: Try to clean browser cache files and then use the app. Otherwise switch to some other browser like Google Chrome or Opera Mini.

Problem: Wi-Fi signal strength is very poor or signal drops frequently.

Solution: Try switching to any other Wi-Fi network to check the problem is with your device or internet connection. Many times you will face Wi-Fi errors like authentication error or error obtaining IP address.

These articles will surely help you to resolve Wi-Fi problem in your smart phone.

Problem: Camera takes blurry images and often hangs while taking pictures or making videos. This is very common problem among Xiaomi users not only in Mi4 but also in Redmi 1s or Mi3

Solution: To take good quality images you can download some good camera apps from play store. If camera is causing too much trouble then I suggest you to take your device to nearest service centre or wait for next update. Also try clearing cache files and reboot your device. Hope it will fix camera lags issues.

Take a Look:

Problem: Xiaomi Mi4 screen lags or automatically comes to home screen in middle of any task.

Solution: Well not very common problem but still if your are facing this then restart your Xiaomi Mi4 and check if problem is gone or not. If problem was still there then I suggests to factory reset your device. This will remove the app causing such problem. If all these methods fail then take your Xiaomi Mi4 to nearest service centre.

I hope I have covered all possible Xiaomi Mi4 common problems that users can face. If you are still getting any problem or have any suggestions feel free to say in the comment box below.

Thank You.

HI , I have bought MI4I 4 days back. From the day one, contact picture is not displaying for both incoming as well as outgoing calls. I have tried to get solution through Rebuild Index data from Settings-> Contacts-> Organize contacts. still the issue is not resolved. I am wondering this is very common issue even a normal person can find it. How a testing team has missed out this?
