Although it is not very common in these times, some Xiaomi phones have reported various coverage problems. The origin of this problem can be diverse, as well as its solution. Before resorting to a specialized technical service, we can apply a series of methods to verify that the problem is not related to a failure of the antenna or the communication modem. We have compiled several of these methods to solve Xiaomi's coverage problems.
Be careful if you use a thick case on your Xiaomi mobile
So is. Some thick or metal covers can interfere with the range of the mobile antenna. To rule out that the problem is related to this element, we can remove the cover of the device to check the maximum level of coverage. If the range of the antenna increases in 5 or 10 minutes we will have to opt for a less thick cover.
Restart the mobile and change the SIM card tray
Sometimes, coverage problems can be related to the SIM card, as well as the tray that contains it. The most recommended, in any case, is to change the slot SIM card if our mobile phone is Dual SIM. Otherwise, we can choose to remove the tray temporarily and blow air over the compartment of the phone and the SIM card itself.
At the end of the day, there is the possibility that both components cannot come into contact due to some speck of dust embedded inside the device. Of course, this process will have to be done with the mobile turned off.
Reset MIUI or Android network settings
If the previous solution has not worked correctly, the next step that we will have to perform is based on restoring the network settings through the native options of the system. Both in MIUI and Android One this process is as simple as going to the More section in the Settings application. Then we will click on Reset and finally on Reset Wi-Fi, mobile network and Bluetooth.
In some Xiaomi mobiles this option can be found in the System section or in the Reset section from the main menu are Settings. After resetting the data, any network settings will have been completely removed. This means that we will have to reconfigure the Bluetooth and WiFi connections that we have previously registered.
Activate data roaming
Another quite effective solution is to activate data roaming. Thanks to this function we can give the telephone the possibility to connect to other networks to reinforce the coverage of the antenna. We can find this option in the SIM card and mobile networks section, either in the Connections section or in the More section.
Change the network mode to 2G, 3G or 4G
Within the same SIM card and mobile networks section we can find another function that allows us to change the network mode to 2G, 3G or 4G. By default, the phone will switch networks automatically. Forcing connection to one type of network can help us improve coverage.
Reset the phone completely or update to the latest version
The best solution to solve any phone problem is always to cut your losses. Formatting the mobile completely will help us rule out possible component failures. This process is as simple as going to the Reset in More section.
If the problem persists, it is likely due to a bug in the MIUI or Android version. To do this, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version.
