First there were the updates to Android 10 that cause failures in the fingerprint reader and other sections of the Xiaomi Mi A3 and now we again find ourselves with a serious Xiaomi error with a performance that should never have reached users. Unless you are from the Telcel company in Mexico, stay out of updating your Xiaomi mobile for several days.
The security updates that should have reached Xiaomi Mi A3 users to correct errors and improve system stability have not arrived, instead the firm has sent thousands of users an update that to date continues to reach users and it hasn’t stopped. If you have this Xiaomi Mi A3 in your hands or know of someone who has it, pay attention to what we have to tell you.
Do not update the Xiaomi Mi A3
We don’t know how, but it has happened. The Xiaomi Mi A3 are receiving an update via OTA that belongs to Telcel, a company in Mexico that modifies or smartphones that it sells itself to add applications and some extras, something that we can also find in certain companies in Spain. However, this update, which should only be sent to users with a Xiaomi Mi A3 mobile linked to this company, is being sent worldwide.
The news has already been echoed in countries such as Colombia, Russia, Ecuador or India and although no user from Spain who has been affected has appeared, it could be a matter of minutes. What this update will do in case we do it is add a boot screen with the operator’s logo and also specific company applications. However, the problem will come when making calls or sending messages.
Neither send messages nor make calls
With this update for the Xiaomi Mi A3 our smartphone automatically becomes a mobile that belongs to this company and since it does not have a linked SIM card we will not be able to use it to call, connect to the internet or send messages. We will remain totally incommunicado and face a serious problem. Many users are beginning to complain on social networks and forums, showing us how this error affects them.
Got a random 1.4GB update from @XiaomiIndia on my # mia3
Now my simcard isn’t getting detected and when I boot my phone, there’s some telcel written. Language has changed to some other. @MiIndiaSupport help. Can’t make or receive calls. What kind of joke is this? pic.twitter.com/W5WtveopSs– Dakshit Shah (@DakshitShah) July 13, 2020
How can we fix the error
The only thing we can do is not install the update, there is no easy way to return our mobile to the previous state. We would have to change the ROM, a process in which we will lose all our files and data. For this same reason we remind you of the importance of knowing if we should update the mobile or it is better to wait for problems and errors to appear that can be solved in a short time.
