  2. Hi…thanks for these methods..i just got one from a company that imports these phones from china..but it didn’t have any security code on it…I checked the s/n and the imue code in mi website and it was recognized correctly..I asked the company and they said not all products have security codes on them..for now it is just for earphones abd powerbanks…though it seems original but I wanted to know is it a serious problem?I mean shall I return it?and it works well…will be thankful if someone help me

    1. Hi Shakiba,
      Thanks for writing here. If your phone’s IMEI verified by Xiaomi website then don’t need to worry. Security codes depend on the country by country. So Enjoy Xiaomi services.
      Kind Regards

      1. Thanks a lot for ur quick reply…..it’s such a relief for me…though I have to send it back anyway…the back icon doesn’t have light actually it works but it doesn’t light up like home icon and the other one..

        1. Hi Shakiba,
          make sure icons are in red color. it will be good if you check phone dimensions with other Xiaomi phone which is purchased from Xiaomi official seller.
          Kind Regards

  3. Im afraid u didn’t get me right…there’s no red light…when u tap on back or home icon,it’s lit up with white light…but for my phone the back icon doesn’t light up…though it works..
    If u mean that the option for lighting icons is enabled,I checked that..it’s ok…sorry if I confused u…
    Unfortunately there’s no xiaomi phone around me…I just can check with images

  4. Hi,

    I have purchased Mi 3 Redmi Prime mobile, but I am getting this message while doing any activity in application. A message is coming randomly with few applications. E.g. Launcher, Contacts, Messaging, Setting.

    It is very irritating and not able to do any activity in mobile with this error.

    Message shows:

    “Unfortunately, Launcher has been stopped”.

    “Cancel” or “Report”

    Request you to advise on the same.

    For your information, I have updated MIUI 7 yesterday itself.

          1. Hi grprajapat,

            Can you mention the steps which are to be followed to clear the data??

            What does wipe reset means?? If I have done this, then will my phone reset with all my data??

            FYI…… I have already done “cleaner” and “deep cleaner” in my phone by using “Security”.
