Problems with Mobile Data on Xiaomi

One of the most common Xiaomi cell phone problems is Internet problems, a problem that Xiaomi also faces. In most cases, the problem is due to improper settings. If you are one of the users who suffer from this problem, continue reading this article.

Regardless of your Xiaomi phone model, we will solve the problem using MIUI options in this article. Follow us and follow the step-by-step guide carefully.

Set up mobile data with MIUI (Xiaomi UI)

As mentioned above, mobile Internet problems are mostly due to improper settings. That’s why we want to focus on this aspect. Xiaomi offers several options that can improve performance, but these options can slow down the Internet. Do not worry; following the steps below will solve the problem.

Set the APN

To start setting up your smartphone, activate mobile data, then enter your SIM card.

  • We enter the Access Point Names option, which is known as APN.
  • After logging in, we have to click on the new APN.
  • In this section, we will follow the company’s instructions.

We must change the SPN to IMSI whenever we can not connect. Finally, save the changes with the plus button and select it after returning to the previous tab.

Mobile networks

Returning to the SIM card section, we access the option of the preferred network type, which, if pressed, shows us the available options. It is recommended to choose 4G or 5G, which has the fastest speed. If the mobile phone cannot use the selected option, it will automatically switch to the next point.

In the mobile networks option, we check that the network selection option is activated automatically. Otherwise, we may sometimes not have access to the Internet.

Enable data roaming

To solve the problem, we need to enable data roaming, which can be found in Settings> SIM cards and mobile data. This option will not cost anything as long as we are in our own country, but we must be careful when traveling to foreign countries.

Turn off mobile data limits.

Among the possible reasons that could make us unable to use the Internet at Xiaomi, the data limit can not be ignored. This option is designed so that we can not go beyond what we should, but at the same time, it can cause such problems. To disable it or increase the limit, it is enough to do the following:

  • Enter settings, then SIM card and mobile networks.
  • Then go to the Set data plan.
  • Select Data Plan.

In this section, you can remove the maximum data limit and choose what happens if the data runs out.

Alternative solutions

Restart the phone and check for updates

Classic solutions never fail. This is why restarting the phone after making these settings can be helpful. Additionally, checking for updates periodically helps keep us safe and fix specific bugs in MIUI. To do this, go to Settings> About phone> System updates.

Where is the problem from?

In many cases, after trying the above methods, we do not succeed in solving the problem. In this case, we have to doubt the state of the Internet network. In this case, we can do the necessary checks or call our Internet services. Also, we can check the rest of our Internet. The volume (traffic) may be over, and we need to buy extra volume (traffic)!
