Phone redmi note 3 error message. Why don't I receive SMS messages on Xiaomi? Banning background processes

The SMS application on Xiaomi is not as simple as it seems at first glance. It has hidden features and settings that you may not know about. We will talk about them and the problems that arise when sending messages in this article.

What to do if SMS are not sent to Xiaomi?

SMS may not be sent for a trivial reason - changing the SIM card. If you changed it, then you need to wait a day, after which messages began to arrive and be sent again. This is a feature of the work of cellular operators.

If you haven’t changed your SIM card, then it’s worth checking the SMS center settings, where operator numbers are indicated. If you have MIUI 8, go to Settings > System applications > Messages > Advanced > Short Message Service (SMSC)

In MIUI 9 - Settings > System applications > Messages >Advanced settings > SMS center number

Here you will need to check the numbers of SMS centers

Operator numbers in Russia:

• Yota - +79585370690
• Beeline — +79037011111
• MTS — +79168999100
• Megafon - +79202909090
• Tele2 - +79043490000

Accordingly, if the number fields are empty, fill them in.

What to do if messages are not opened?

It also happens that when opening messages, the application immediately closes. In this case, try the following:

Actions with dialogues

Open “Messages”, select the desired dialogue and hold your finger on it. As a result, you will see an editing menu below:

With it, you can delete one or several message threads at once, block the sender so that you no longer receive SMS from him, and pin an important conversation to the top of the screen for quick access.

Large letters in SMS

Large letters in messages are a good solution for people with low vision. To activate this function, open the SMS and quickly click on it 2 times:

Search SMS

Finding the message you need is easy and simple - use the search bar located at the top of the screen. If it is not immediately visible, scroll up the screen a little and it will appear.

Enter a word in the field and you will be shown all SMS where it appears.

How to set a password for SMS

You can set a password for correspondence for contacts to hide it from prying eyes. To do this, in the Messages application, swipe your finger across the screen from top to bottom.

We set a pattern and indicate which contacts you want to hide.

Sending SMS to multiple people

You can send messages to several people or groups at once. To do this, in the “To” field, mark the necessary contacts.

As you can see in the screenshot, you can select from the list of contacts, recent or groups.

Templates, videos and music in messages

The ability to attach pictures, photos, videos, as well as send template messages is a very useful feature found in MIUI. When entering text on the left, you can see a plus icon - click on it and an additional menu will appear:

The vCard item allows you to send contact information from your directory. There is also the opportunity to set an image, send a nickname, take a photo and send an SMS using a timer at a certain time.

If you scroll this menu to the left, you can see template messages. Choose from existing ones or create your own. Scroll down the menu further and see icons for sending audio, video and slide shows.

Message operations - copy, favorites, forward

Open the dialog window, then press and hold your finger on the desired message until an additional menu appears.

With its help, you can forward SMS, copy or delete it. The “More” button opens an additional window where you can add a conversation to your favorites, get information about it (date of sending and receiving), and also save it to the SIM card.

In the second part of the article on the topic of setting up MIUI 7, I propose to deal with standard system applications, the removal of which will not in any way affect the operation of the smartphone

Before you take any action, I strongly recommend making a backup!

Uninstalling MIUI 7 system applications

Let's go along the way system/app and we find ourselves in the folder with the main system applications. This is where we will begin to get rid of those applications that, in my opinion, are not needed in the system.

Below are applications that can be removed without consequences. I note that this list is individual for everyone and depends precisely on whether you use services from xiaomi or not, and also depends on the firmware version and localizations (multirom, xiaomi.eu, miui.su, miui.pro, proprietary solutions). I use services from xiaomi, so the list is quite narrow. I will also try to indicate which applications are present on different firmware versions.

SYSTEM/APP

BugReport– Sending error reports (present on all versions) – For optimization
CloudPrint2– Virtual printer. I don’t need it and I’m unlikely to need it (7.1.2.0 – 7.1.3.0 is missing) – does not affect optimization
Email– Quite a universal mail application from Xiaomi. If you use it, then there is no point in getting rid of it. I don’t need corporate email support, especially since I’m using another application, so I’m deleting it. (on all firmware versions, with the exception of some proprietary ones) – does not affect optimization
Fastdormancy– This function, if I understand correctly, is used by mobile operators in Europe and Asia. You can read about the technology on the Internet. After reading it, I realized that my mobile operator does not support it. It can also drain the battery quite significantly if there is no support from the operator. Definitely “under the knife.” (only observed xiaomi.eu and the latest version from multirom) – for optimization
MiLinkService– a “useful” feature for Xiaomi devices. Allows you to transfer files between Xiaomi devices. Too much for me. Removed it. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – does not affect optimization
PrintSpooler– seals. The same thing to consider as with other services from the “virtual printer”. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – does not affect optimization
QuickSearchBox– Xiaomi’s quick search, which appears when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. I tried it and realized that it was a little awkward to use. Alternative to Google Now. Works great, clearly responds to calls. In short, I recommend it. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – does not affect optimization
StepsProvider– this service was not available in previous builds. Possibly responsible for the pedometer. I don't understand why they added it. Removed it. (Observed on 7.2.4.0 and 7.2.7.0 from xiaomi.eu) – for optimization
Stk– a service application from a mobile operator. MTS Belarus has few useful features in this application. I just deleted it, but it’s better to freeze it in Titanium, otherwise after a full reset to factory settings problems with network detection may appear. (Present on all versions) – for optimization
Updater– Firmware update via system application. Many people ask “How to disable incoming notifications about the availability of a new software version.” We delete it and forget about it.
Note:
As for DEV firmware, this application cannot be deleted, otherwise the phone will be blocked and ask you to enter your MI account login and password. But after entering it hung on verification. I checked it on two DEV versions. In stable versions everything is fine. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – for optimization
Whetstone– And again sending logs that are related to processor performance. Very often this service wakes up the device. Verified. I'm deleting. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – for optimization

SYSTEM/DATA-APP

klobugreport. Let's delete it. Responsible for sending error logs. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – for optimization

SYSTEM/PRIV-APP

Browser– Standard browser from Xiaomi. At first I kept deleting it because of the Chinese language. But then I ran into patched version from 7.1.2.0 Multirom from Viset is in my folder. I was pleasantly surprised. The browser is completely Russian, the news contains most of the news portals of my country and neighboring countries. Cool. I set it up and realized that the browser is very fast. Flash support. I just replaced the version from xiaomi.eu with the version from firmware 7.1.2.0 from Viset (installed without problems). And of course permissions to folder "0755" and on the apk file itself "0644". (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – does not affect optimization
CellBroadcastReceiver– Broadcast messages (tsunamis, disasters, etc.), which are common there in Europe and Asia. I don't practice. Deleted. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – for optimization
GoogleFeedback– Google reviews. Deleted. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – for optimization
Shell– Part of the MIUI shell, which stores summaries and logs of the shell’s operation, which are subsequently sent somewhere. I removed it, tested it, no problems found. (in the comments they report that after removal, developer mode does not work for them). Great. In addition, I will say that deleting this service helps get rid of Shell process, which hangs in memory and sometimes loads the processor quite heavily.

(Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – for optimization
YellowPage– Yellow Pages. Allows you to see more detailed information about corporate clients, their numbers and accounts. Deleted. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – for optimization
Weather, WeatherProvider– Weather and weather server. The application is good, differs from various editions (localizations). Let's say Multirom's temperature graph is made in the form of sinusoidal curves. Looks great. However, most often in the forecast, instead of the usual units for measuring wind speed and atmospheric pressure, they are km/h and Pa, respectively. I uninstall and install an alternative Weather BZ. IMHO the best weather app. It looks familiar and fits perfectly into standard weather widgets, as well as custom themes and lock screens. (Present on all versions, except some copyrighted ones) – does not affect optimization

About freezing (disabling) applications via Titanium BackUp: I will say that this method is more secure than simply deleting applications from the system. But when there is a backup copy of applications, then there is no significant difference.

Below is a list of those programs that you can remove without the risk of damaging your system, as well as a brief description of them and whether they affect the speed of the system.

To remove system applications, you will need Root rights.

• BugReport. Sends error reports. Affects the speed of the device.
• CloudPrint. Virtual printer application. Does not affect speed.
• Email. A completely acceptable email client from Xiaomi. If you use it, then there is simply no point in deleting it. Well, if you use a third-party email client, then feel free to delete it.
• Fasdormancy. This feature is only available to select European and Asian mobile operators. Read about it on the Internet and check whether your mobile operator supports it. No - delete it. Affects speed.
• FingerprintService. The second branded virtual printer from Xiaomi. Does not affect speed.
• MiLinkService. A very useful application from Xiaomi that allows MIUI devices to exchange files with each other. If you don't use it, delete it. Does not affect speed.
• PrintSpooler. Special stamps used with virtual printers. Does not affect speed.
• QuikSearchBox. Xiaomi's proprietary search, which opens by swiping down from the top of the screen. It's a bit awkward to use, so it can be removed. Does not affect speed.
• StepsProvider. Addition to the pedometer application. Affects speed.
• Stk. Service menu from the mobile operator. If your operator does not support this function, you can delete it. Affects speed.
• Updater. Allows you to update the firmware, and very often bothers you with its reminders. Feel free to delete it. It does not affect the speed, but rather the usability of the smartphone.
• Whetstone. Submitting error reports that relate to the operation of the processor. Often the application “wakes up” the smartphone - feel free to delete it. Affects speed.

Some standard programs that can also be removed are located in the directory system/priv-app. Let's go there and look:

• Browser. Official Xiaomi browser. Contains too much “Chinese” - you can delete it and install an alternative. Does not affect speed.
• Viset. Russian browser, which is only available in some firmwares. If you also have it installed, it’s better not to uninstall it, since it is completely Russified, has a lot of settings and works quite quickly. Does not affect speed.
• CellBroadcastReceiver. Alert to emergencies that are most common in Asia. Affects speed.
• GoogleFeedBack. Official Google reviews. Affects speed.
• Shell. A component of the MIUI operating system, which contains data about the operation of the shell (error reports, etc.), and then sends them to some server. Can be deleted. Affects speed.
• YellowPage. Yellow Pages program. Shows information about your corporate accounts. Affects speed.
• Weather. Weather forecast server. Quite a good program, the interface is nice, there are a lot of settings. Not for everyone. Does not affect speed.

How to send MMS from Android

Previously (on feature phones), in order to send an MMS, you had to select the appropriate option in the message menu. In modern smartphones, everything is much simpler: you just need to attach, for example, a photo to a text message so that it is automatically converted into a multimedia message. This also works in the opposite direction - by removing all multimedia files from the created MMS, you will turn it into an SMS message.
