How to lock the network on Xiaomi devices on 4G so that the connection is more stable
Gadgetren – Living in an area with an unstable cellular network can be quite annoying. In addition to being wasteful of batteries, activities that use the internet can be very disruptive.
Play multiplayer games like PUBG, Mobile Legends, AOV, Free Fire or Fortnite for example. If the network is unstable, ping can jump around causing the game to freeze or lag at times.
As a solution, many people choose to lock the network on one of the available network types. Like locking on a 4G network for faster access.
Unfortunately, however, the settings for blocking the 4G network are no longer applicable on some devices, many of which are omitted, especially devices with newer operating systems. Because of this, many people need a special method to set it up.
Many Xiaomi smartphones also experience this limitation. At the beginning of the introduction of TKDN (Domestic Content Level), the Chinese company even had to deactivate the 4G network on some of its devices because they did not meet the requirements.
Especially in this case, the user must first open the network, as the restriction is only made on the software side. Only then can you block it on the 4G network as you wish.
The first option allows users to lock the 4G network on Xiaomi devices with a special code * # * # 4636 # * # * or * # * # 3646633 # * # * which can be called up via the keypad. Next, after entering test mode, select Phone information – Select 1 or 2 depending on which SIM card is used for data.
When you have entered the site Telephone info, then search for the section Set preferred network type. Next, open the menu Drop-down list in that section, then find and choose an option LTE only.
Note that some devices require developer mode in order to access this trial mode. On Xiaomi devices, users can activate it via settings, then enter system (for operating systems 8.0 and higher), go to Via phone, and press MIUI version or Build number several times.
In addition to the method mentioned above, some Xiaomi smartphones can also access their network settings on the test page as a second method. access Via phone that exist in settings, then tap the section Internal memory several times.
If the above two methods didn’t solve the problem, users can try using a different ROM or installing a special tweak using TWRP. However, since it is a little risky for ordinary users, we do not recommend these two methods.
