When we release mobile the performance of our mobile may seem unbeatable but over time this is forgotten. In Xiaomi mobiles we are going to find performance problems of this type that in most cases have a relatively easy solution that we are going to explain, all to get our smartphone back to what it was.
It does not matter if our Xiaomi mobile is a high-end or the cheapest, thanks to the customization layer with MIUI we will have at our disposal many options to make it possible to recover its full potential by sewing and singing. We are going to show you tips and tricks that we should not only do now, but we should remember or keep these tips to repeat when we have the feeling that performance is giving problems again.
Tips that will improve performance
Without going too far into complications there are a series of actions that we must always remember. These solutions are the most effective for us and can be carried out at any time.
Restart the mobile
Although our mobiles are prepared to endure many hours thirsty and to a certain extent they enter a state of rest when we do not use them, it is convenient that at some point we do a reset. Turning it off and on again will free up all of your device’s RAM and give you extra power when you turn it on again. Not turning off the phone affects performance and can be the cause of lag and delays when using our Xiaomi.
Let him rest and don’t demand
We must be aware that our Xiaomi has a series of imitations that are directly related to the processor or RAM, among other factors. We cannot allow our mobile to open and close all apps at the same speed after a long session playing demanding games. The best thing in this case is to give it a break and let it cool down then use it again without having to do anything else.
Close multitasking
Having too many open applications can become a problem for our mobile. Automatically it tries to choose which ones are closed automatically but when we are raising the needs it is convenient that we close them manually. This will allow us to focus all its power on the app that we are going to use and that is not dissipated by others.
Keep your mobile updated to perform well
Through the updates Xiaomi manages to optimize the performance of MIUI and improve its capabilities. Postponing the updates can cause us to encounter performance problems that have already been solved in past updates, but we are not enjoying them.
To get the latest version of MIUI with the latest security patches we just have to use the MIUI updater, from Settings> About phone> System update we will get not only the latest version but also configure it to update without we have to do nothing else.
Also Xiaomi applications
From the Google Play application store we are going to update the apps that we have downloaded and installed, but also our mobile has other needs that are updated on the other hand. Xiaomi’s own apps have their own app update system, which can be found in Settings> App Updater. These are very important to performance because they are directly linked to MIUI.
Battery affects performance
Our Xiaomi mobile does not depend only on its processor and components, it also has a close relationship with the capabilities of the battery and that is why we dedicate a special section to this section that is usually the most forgotten in performance.
Don’t activate battery saver
Within Xiaomi’s settings and security options we have a very effective energy saving mode. Its capabilities are not allowed to extend the time of use but nevertheless if we activate it we will be negatively affecting the performance . If we want our mobile to perform at the highest level, we must keep it deactivated and use it only when we are low on battery.
Check the battery health
If our mobile phone has been with us for a long time and we have been users that have given it a lot of use, it is likely that the battery is resentful and it is time to change it. To verify this we have to resort to one of the hidden codes in MIUI that allow us to know the status of the battery.
We have to open the phone app and write the code: * # * # 6485 # * # * In the one identified as MB_06 it will show us if its status is good or on the contrary it may be one of the problems that affects the performance of our mobile Xiaomi.
Free up memory to increase your capabilities
Storage is very important for mobile performance and in Xiaomi it is no different. No matter how much storage we have in the beginning, little by little it fills up with photos and different files that we must somehow free up. We can resort to our computer to return the photos or make a backup in Google Photos but above all we must bear in mind that if we are to take photos and videos this could be the reason that prevents the mobile from going faster.
Delete junk files
Although we do not have too many files or applications, little by little with the use of our mobile phone, temporary files are accumulated that are not necessary and may become one of the reasons for slowing down. Luckily at MIUI we have a cleaner that manages to get the best out of our mobile.
This is found in the Xiaomi security application and is divided into two accesses, one is the traditional cleaner that removes junk files and the other is the deep cleaning with which we can receive tips to remove duplicate photos or delete too large files.
Uninstall apps you don’t use
With the passage of time we install many apps on our mobile phones that we rarely use, instead of storing them it is better to delete them and opt for the web version whenever we can. Not only do they take up memory that affects performance, they will also limit our battery life by having to keep another process open and we will continually receive notifications that go unnoticed by us.
Do you use MicroSD?
In most Xiaomi mobiles we have the option of adding a MicroSD card to increase the memory size. Although this may seem like a good solution, we have verified that MicroSD cards negatively affect the performance of mobile phones and can be the reason why our mobile phone has become slow and heavy.
Literally return your mobile to the original state
After having tried all the solutions we have given, we will only have to make our mobile phone return to what it was with a Hard Reset. This process will delete all the files on your phone, starting with photos and ending with cache enlargements, so we must do everything beforehand that we don’t want to lose forever.
- To start we turn off our Xiaomi mobile.
- Now we hold down the power button and increase volume until it vibrates and the Xiaomi logo appears.
- In the Recovery menu we move with the volume buttons and access with the power button.
- We choose the “Wipe Data” option and enter.
- On the next screen we tap on the “Wipe All Data” option.
- Then we confirm and we will have deleted the terminal data.
- We return to the initial menu with the option “Back to main menu”
- And on this screen we choose “Reboot” and finally “Reboot to System”.
When the process has finished, our mobile will turn on and we can reconfigure it as when we bought it. In this way the performance will return to what it was in our Xiaomi or Redmi and we will have achieved our purpose. So that we do not face this situation again, it is important that we follow the advice that we have explained to you.
