6. Better Control in Blacklist :

Users don’t want calls all the time, So they use DND service where no one can call them. But suppose in that duration a call comes from his/her home then definitely we are in trouble. Because we miss a call from home. So users use blacklist function instead of DND service. But normal android users can’t control full services. Like Block calls from unknown numbers only, OR allow from only specific group only, OR allow from contacts only, OR allow from only exception.
So above all the customization option not provide by normal android so there users always struggle with third party app. These apps are data consuming app and they also made a space in our memory.
So here we are again lucky because of miui, Here you can control all your calls with full customization.

7. Better control on Data Services & Apps:

Users always suffer with their data consummation problems in their smartphones. Because they don’t know when the installed app auto start and eat all the data without their permission. Even they don’t have apps control option where they set which app is auto start and which not.
But in the miui, You can full control on your apps where you can easily set permission. You decide which app is auto start and which is not. another profit is miui gives full control on your data usages you can decide wich app only use mobile data and which app use WIFI. OR Which app use both of data connection. You can also set a data usages limit where you can set your plan data limit. So you don’t cross your data plan limit and  you can save spare data charges. Here you can also set daily data usages. So you can better control on your daily usages.
Another benefits is miui have inbuilt data saver Opera Max , When you start this service  you save almost 20-30% data. So you don’t need any data manger app, any data saver app. all are inbuilt.

  2. Anyone can help? After updating to MIUI7 stable… I can’t connect thru my mobile data. Even I had data plan on my sim. I can’t do facebook and even surf the net. I’m using MI3. Anyone please help to solve this problem… Thanks in advance guys!!!

    1. Hi Dondee
      Thanks for writing here. Make sure you choose a right sim to use data. and also confirm APN . in most of the cases APN changed or removed during the update. So users can’t connect net through mobile data.
      For Sim internet setting go to
      Setting -> Sm cards & Mobile networks -> Default settings-> Internet
      For APN setting
      Setting -> Sm cards & Mobile networks ->Sim name ->Access point names-> choose correct APN

  3. I have always wondered if there is a possibility of using MI 4i dual phone like actually using 2 different phones
    One is blacklisted for all unknown calls and other SIM where all calls can be attended
    With the latest second space created by MI
    Can this be possible please advice

    1. Hi Sonali,
      once you type wrong password/pattern 4-5 times then a forgot password link appear on the bottom. click on this link and reset your password.
      Kind Regards

  4. Hi , I want to erase all the data which is waiting to be synced ince the cell enters the wifi zone as it has been selected to do so.Kindly let me know where that data is stored and in which folder to be precise .

    1. Hi Meena,
      Please switch off your phone. then
      Press and hold volume up + power button for some time,
      it will open recovery, by pressing volume down choose English,
      then enter wipe & reset option, and do a wipe data.
      But in this case you lost your data.
      If you don’t want to loss your data then follow below :
      Firstly turn-on the Airplane Mode by long pressing the
      power button > Airplane mode.
      Once enabled, tap on default browser and search
      for anything.
      As the Airplane mode is enabled, you will see a message stating
      that it can’t connect to network.
      Under that you will see an option called “Mobile
      network”.
      Tap on it. Now these will take you to the Settings where you can easily
      disable the Child Mode. ))
