6. Why am I not receiving any notification from Flipkart/Amazon/TVF Play/WhatsApp directly unless I open the app in my Xiaomi Phone?

Solution: It’s happening because of the same reason as that of 5th. Enable Auto – Start for all the necessary applications and then enjoy those (buggy) notifications.

8. How to force ‘WCDMA/3G Only’ Network in Xiaomi Phones?

Solution: In Xiaomi devices, we can’t directly enable this feature. Many times we are in an area where WCDMA/3G connectivity is very weak and our phone directly converts the network to GSM. Although, we can forcefully use WCDMA mode by going to Settings > About Phone and then click 5 times on ‘Internal Memory’ option. This will take you to Testing section. Now go to ‘Phone Information 1 or 2’ and then change the network mode to ‘WCDMA’ only.
