Avoid updating your Redmi Note 10 Pro… for now

Everyone who has a Redmi Note 10 Pro in their hands should be aware of the problem that is starting to arise due to the MIUI 12.5.10 version. An update that at first was only presented as a mere security patch, but that is causing problems to be able to use the selfie camera normally.

Avoid updating your Redmi Note 10 Pro… for now

Luckily, in Spain and in some countries the update has not yet been implemented, thanks to the fact that it gradually spreads among users. To check our version, we have to go to Settings> About the phone and look. If in our case we have a previous version, we should not update the mobile for now, if we do not want to find ourselves with a black screen that prevents us from using the camera as we usually do.

The camera error that we saved

In India and western Europe the update has already been seen, causing us to find the following screenshots that we show you, and multiple complaints on social networks. In Spain, however, there are many who continue to live with the MIUI 12.5.6.0 version and, therefore, we are exempt from the situation until now.

Apparently, the camera is unusable both with Xiaomi‘s native camera app, as well as third-party applications, preventing us from using it on Instagram or any other app that has access to the lens. The MIUI bug does not prevent us from using the rear camera normally, but it does become an inconvenience with the selfie showing an error or preventing it from being used. Therefore, Xiaomi is already aware of the error and has immediately set to work on a solution.

It has not been confirmed that the expansion of the update has been stopped and to avoid this problem, we recommend taking action on the matter.

stop the updates

To prevent the camera failure from affecting us, we must take into account the version that reaches our smartphone in the form of an update, but first of all we will have to prevent the mobile from applying the updates automatically. That is something that the system does by default and we have to modify it to avoid surprises. To complete it, we just have to take our Redmi Note 10 Pro and follow these steps:

  1. We enter the Settings.
  2. Click on About phone.
  3. Then we touch on MIUI.
  4. Within the update screen we touch the three points at the top.
  5. To select Update Settings.
  6. Now we will only have to deactivate the following options:
    1. Download automatically.
    2. Download using mobile data.
    3. Install automatically.

In this way, we will be the ones who decide, when we apply the next update to our mobile, the reverse process of getting the Xiaomi mobile updated before, which on other occasions we have needed. A few simple steps that can save us from encountering a bug that we do not know at the moment how long it will take to solve, although it should not take long as it only affects the front camera.

The day the new update appears, it is important to read the specific number of the firmware and the changes it corrects in the more information section. If it was MIUI 12.5.10 or even version 12.5.9, we have to delay the update . This will not affect the security of the smartphone nor will we have problems for it in a short period of time. Although, we must not forget that we have it pending and in the future we will have to apply it when everything is solved.
