You spend a lot of money on your phone and internet bills to keep connected to the world, so when you experience connectivity problems, it can be very frustrating. Check out the troubleshooting tips below to get your Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 in working order again.

Tip 1 – Forget Your Network

Sometimes your phone may experience WiFi glitches with its saved network passwords. These problems are especially common if you’ve recently performed a system update. Try deleting your network by following these steps:

Step 1 – Access Settings

First, go to your Settings menu by tapping on the Settings icon from your Home screen. Alternatively, swipe down from the top of the screen to open your Notifications panel and then tap on the little gear icon in the upper right corner to open Settings.

Step 2 – Access WiFi Settings

Next, from your Settings menu, tap on WiFi, scroll down to “Manage saved networks”, and tap on this option.

Step 3 – Forget Network

Tap on the network(s) that you want to delete. Select “Forget network” when prompted to delete saved network data.

Step 4 – Reconnect to Network

Finally, reconnect to your network and enter the required password.

Tip 2 – Clear Cache

Sometimes you just need to clear your cache. This is also helpful if you’ve recently done an OS update and deleting the network doesn’t work.

Step 1 – Access Settings Menu

First, access your Settings menu. You can tap on the Settings icon from the Home screen or you may prefer to access the Notifications panel and tap on the gear icon to open Settings. The latter method allows you to open Settings from any screen.

Step 2 – Access Storage

From the Settings menu, scroll to the System & Device section and tap on Storage. The next menu will show all the storage information for your phone.

Step 3 – Clear Cache

Lastly, scroll to Cached data and tap on it. You will receive a message asking if you want to clear the cache. Tap OK to confirm the action. It may take a few seconds for your phone to recalculate your storage data.

Tip 3 – Factory Reset

Additionally, you may also want to perform a factory reset for your phone. This method solves many common problems with your phone, but it requires some preparation. Doing this will delete all your user data, so make sure to back it up before performing this action.
