    1. Hi Rahul,
      Sorry for the inconvenience you faced. Make sure you insert sim card properly in sim tray. Try with single sim.
      Try same sim card in another phone. There is no issue in software. please confirm you insert sim in the proper way. If you still face problem then try with reset option.
      After above don’t work then please go for a replacement.
      Kind Regards

  7. The above solutions do not work for me, however, i found a solution that works for me.
    I turn on mobile data and if the internet doesn’t turn on, then I simply turn on the Airplane mode and turn it off after 5 seconds.
    This mostly works if any of the above solution doesn’t work for you.

    A MIUI lover.

  8. Since I updated to MIUI 8 for Redmi Note 3, at first mobile data was working but now mobile data is not working. I have tried everything such as using security to clean the phone, resetting the APN, switching on and off the mobile data even in Aeroplane Mode. All came to nothing. Should I factory reset it? Please help me out…….I can connect easily and browse with my WIFI but not on Mobile data.

    1. Hi Yubi,
      Sorry for the inconvenience you faced. Please clear the wipe cache data. if not solved then please manually add APN and try. if still not work then the factory reset is the last option.
      Kind Regards

  10. Mobile data problem still persists in redmi note 3. I have tried cache wipe, works for only one day or so, then problem starts again. Tried apn settings, also talked with network subscribers, still doesnt work. I also restore my pjone after every Miui update and clear cache, try all methods i can find on net. But this problem is persistant with my phone. Mobile data with same sim works well in my lenovo k3 note and nexus 5.

  11. Hi recently I updated to miui8 but I m not getting internet connection..tried all the options like apn settings n clear cache but still not working..suggest me if any solution..

  12. I can’t on the mobile data of idea network while I try to use data at my home. But at the same time I can browse everything on samsung handsets. And the wiered fact is if I go near of the tower, data automatically turns on. Please help. I tried wiping cache data. And also did change on APN setting. But still I’m facing the problem. This is my first xiaomi device. Network provider told me that the problem could be on the device.

    1. Hi Diganta Das,
      Sorry for the Inconvenience you faced.
      Without changing any setting when you go to near the tower. Then Phone automatically connect the data. Right ?
      Kind Regards

      1. Yeah. But at home the problem still persists. Network coverage also remaims full inside home and I can browse anything on samsung devices using idea network. The problem I found only with idea sim.

          1. Hi Diganta Das,
            Your problem is different, we don’t face any issue till date. Maybe the internal antenna of your phone is not working properly.
            Please try the same another model on your location. if you connect with the internet then please visit nearest Mi service center.
            Kind Regards

  13. I found the way to solve this problem temporary. After update to miui 8.
    Solution:
    1. Power off your phone
    2. Remove sim card from the phone, do not plug in.
    3. Power on the phone and let it start up until it show lock screen
    4. Plug back the sim card. It will detect mobile network and data is back on.
    It works for me, hope will work for others

        1. Please check may be you enable updates via Mobile data. So when turn ON your data then your mobile system consume more data than your WhatsApp/browser.
          Please check data usages stats which app consume your data.
          Kind Regards

  17. Hi
    i have a redmi note2.at first there was no problems but since one of miui updates i got my phone doesnt browse internet and some apps like instagram or coc doesnt work like i have no connection…but i have high speed connection and some apps like telegram work properly.i’ve tries many network types such as g, E, H+, 4g…and two provider (MTNirancell an IR-tci) in iran…theres a point that by encrypting data(with psiphon and such) problem solves but whithout it i cant browse.i’ve tried apn but didnt help…please help

  18. Hi, I’m using redmi note 2,my credit often being deducted even though I got my data plan on. I’ve already reported to the network operator but seems that they found out that I’ve browse the internet without having any data plan but I did have a data plan and it still available. Is it the phone or the sim card problem? thanks.

    1. Hi Keluangman,
      Sorry to hear that. This is surely operator issue.If data plan active on your connection then data should be deducted from your data plan.
      Please raise a complaint in customer service of your network operator.
      Kind Regards
