How to Restore Lost Xiaomi 4G
Some time ago, Xiaomi gradually rolled out MIUI updates for users in Indonesia. However, due to controlled TKDN (Domestic Content Level) regulations, Xiaomi has removed 4G network support in Indonesia in this latest update. This also makes some Xiaomi users who activate auto-update feel annoyed.
Here are some smartphones that get the MIUI 7.5.3.0 update and the 4G is gone, namely the Xiaomi Redmi 3, Redmi 3 Pro and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. Are you one of the Xiaomi users whose 4G is missing? If yes, there here several ways to restore lost Xiaomi 4G.

One simple way that you can try to restore the lost 4G Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro is to change the Locale to Malaysia. How, go to the menu Settings - Additional Settings- Locale, then change to Malaysia. When finished, please enter Airplane Mode. After Airplane Mode is turned on, your 4G will reappear.
