The Xiaomi Mi 8 is Full of Problems When Updating to MIUI 12

Many will remember the Xiaomi Mi 8, while others continue to enjoy this high-end Xiaomi that was presented in 2018 and today they still have a lot to offer, a smartphone that now with the recent arrival of the update to MIUI 12 faces a series of problems that make it practically impossible to use the Mi 8 . Errors are repeated throughout the world and we also find complaints from users.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Problems Updating to MIUI 12

All the cases that we are going to know focus on the software and did not appear before performing the update to MIUI 12 , which we have already seen on other occasions that several devices have arrived with failures. The hardware on the other hand continues to age perfectly and this leads to the complaints through the forums do not stop multiplying.

The Xiaomi Mi 8 is “killed” by MIUI 12

Although the Xiaomi Mi 8 has not been one of the first Xiaomi phones to be updated, far from it, it is one of the models that is suffering the most failures . Several users through social networks and forums have left their problems in this regard, which range from more serious aspects, to others that should not worry us.

Variations between users indicate that problems can be affected by accumulation of updates, files or something that we had on the mobile previously and that with the arrival of MIUI 12 for the Mi 8 has triggered the tragedy. But in any case, the problems that users have encountered are the following:

  • Application compatibility issues.
  • The fingerprint sensor is not working.
  • Wallpaper glitches.
  • Notifications don’t work.
  • The shortcut bar does not slide.
  • Mobile data does not work randomly.
  • Forced closures of the camera.
  • GPS stops working.
  • The battery drains.
  • Google Play does not work.

Is there a solution to the problems?

Unfortunately for all Xiaomi MI 8 users, the situation could only be solved by erasing all the data from the Xiaomi Mi 8 with the help of the Hard Reset so that MIUI 12 does not coexist with other previously dragged bugs.

This would lead us to have to save the photos and files that we do not want to lose on other devices and then follow this process:

  • We turn off the mobile.
  • We press and hold the power button and volume up until we see the Xiaomi logo.
  • In the Recovery menu we move with the volume buttons and access with the power button.
  • We enter the “Wipe Data” option.
  • Now we go to the “Wipe All Data” option.
  • Finally, we confirm and we will have deleted the data from the terminal.

This, however, does not work for all users, which may lead us to consider it “dead”, in other cases they have had to seek help from the technical service, the most reasonable option if our model still has a warranty.
