The Xiaomi Mi4 may sometimes get stuck in the standby mode and not even restart. This may occur due to varied problems, including installation of buggy or faulty apps, low battery, etc.
Follow the steps given below to resolve the issue:
- Perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the power button for more than 10 seconds.
- Take out the battery if the issue persists. Put it back in and restart the phone.
1. If the phone restarts and begins working, then
- Charge the battery. Try another battery if required.

- Go to Settings – > Tap on Backup and Reset – > factory data reset – > reset phone – > erase everything.
- Reboot and update the phone to the latest version.
2. If the issue persists upon restart, after removing the battery and putting it back in, then reset the Xiaomi Mi4 in recovery mode. This will also delete all data. Hence, ensure that the data is backed up. For recovery mode reset,
- Turn off the device by pressing the power button.
- After it is powered off, press and hold the power and volume up buttons simultaneously till the time the phone boots into the recovery mode.
- In the recovery mode,
- Users will be asked to select the language of choice. Tap on English.

- Tap on wipe and reset option – > tap on wipe cache – > tap on wipe all data – > you will be asked for a confirmation, tap on yes.
- Go back to the main menu by tapping on the main menu option. Tap on reboot option. This will restart the phone.
