This problem affects OS versions 3.0.4.0.WOGMIXM and 3.0.3.0.WOFMIXM. Xiaomi has deployed a test fix to some users. It has been effective for some, yet the issue persists for others. The company recommends users fully discharge and charge their phones as a temporary solution while awaiting further feedback.
