A few days ago in the Xiaomi forums, a thread was opened to report the errors of MIUI and Xiaomi phones. This thread indicates some problems that are currently affecting various models of the company and versions of MIUI. These issues are related to coverage and mobile data. If you are on MIUI 11 and mobile data does not work on your Xiaomi now you can know why. Most likely, nothing happens to your mobile, it is simply a software failure.
Data does not work on Xiaomi mobiles: the problem
In the thread we talked about, reference is made to a failure in the data connection for some versions of MIUI 11. It is indicated that this failure is related to a configuration failure of the Orange Proxy in France. We do not know if this is affecting all users with these versions or only those who belong to this operator. The MIUI versions affected are the following:
- V11.0.11.0.QJWMIXM
- V12.0.3.0.QFCMIXM
- V11.0.6.0.QJOEUOR
- V11.0.5.0.PCXMIXM
- V12.0.1.0.QFBMIXM
If you have a Xiaomi mobile you can enter the settings and click on software information. In this section, you can find out which version of MIUI you have. If it matches any of the ones we have indicated above and you have coverage or mobile data problems, you know why.
Mobile data does not work on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T
This same thread refers to a specific device where the data connection is failing. It is the Redmi Note 8T, one of the best-selling phones of the year by Xiaomi.
The thread shows a solution to the mobile data problem that could work for all affected devices. You must enter the APN configuration and change to ‘IPv4 / IPv6’. Xiaomi is working with the operators so that this change temporarily solves the failure of data connection and coverage.
Now you know what may be happening with mobile data on your Xiaomi mobile. It seems like a temporary glitch that Xiaomi is already working on. A server-side tweak or a small OTA is likely to be completely fixed in a few days. If after a while you still have problems, you should contact the company so that they can offer you another solution.
Have you managed to fix it? Does the data work on your Xiaomi mobile?
