Xiaomi Redmi 1s, the first official smartphone from Xiaomi released in Indonesia, has been a hit since its launch due to its impressive specs and affordable price. However, some users have encountered certain problems. This article will provide you with some useful tips and tricks to solve common issues with your Redmi 1s.
One frequent problem is that the screen goes off during a call, making it difficult to end the call. You can solve this issue by calibrating the proximity sensor. Dial *#*#6484#*#* on your phone and select option number 8. Alternatively, you can turn off the proximity sensor in the Call settings menu.
If your Redmi 1s fails to update over-the-air (OTA), it’s probably because the phone has been rooted. Check whether there’s a 1 in the ROM version code at the back. If there is, you’ll need to unroot the phone before updating it via OTA.
To install Google Play Store on your Redmi 1s running the Chinese ROM version, follow these steps: open Mi Store, download Google Installer by Eric Xiang and Google Installer app, then download and install Play Store.
Redmi 1s comes with the USB On-the-Go (OTG) feature, which allows you to connect a flash drive directly to the device. To use it, connect the flash drive or OTG cable, tap on the ‘USB Storage Connected’ notification to open File Explorer, then select USB STORAGE. To disconnect the flash drive safely, click ‘Safely Remove’ in the notification bar and wait for the ‘Safely remove external storage’ message.
The camera on Redmi 1s has two modes, simple and advance, with simple being the default mode. You can switch to advance mode by opening the camera, selecting the settings menu, and changing the simple mode to advance mode in the advance settings section.
If you’re unable to download an app or game via a cellular network and are prompted to download via WiFi instead, click the download app, click on the menu icon, select settings, and choose “unlimited” under the data usage prompt option.
Some Redmi 1s users have reported being unable to check in on the Path app when using the Chinese ROM version. You can solve this issue by using the multi-language ROM version.
Low signal strength can result in slow internet access speed on the Redmi 1s. To fix this problem, go to the phone dialer, type *#*#4636#*#*, select Phone Information, choose ‘LTE/GSM Auto PRL’ under ‘Set preferred network type’, and exit.
The Redmi 1s screen tends to be slightly yellowish and less clear than other smartphones. You can reduce this effect by going to Display settings, selecting Color calibration, and adjusting the temperature slider to a cooler setting.
In conclusion, with these tips and tricks, you can solve the most common problems encountered by Redmi 1s users and optimize your overall user experience.
