Xiaomi Mi 4i gets OTA Update to Fix Overheating Issues’

Xiaomi has rollout  an OTA (over-the-air) update for Mi 4i users in India this week. The system update (V6.5.5.0) is said to bring a fix for overheating issues.

Xiaomi India initially started rolling out the OTA update (V6.5.4.0 LXI) to the Xiaomi Mi 4i late last week; though cancelled the update as many users faced new issues after updating to the latest system update. We started rolling out this OTA as V6.5.4.0 last week, but some users reported a minor issue related to the power button, so we created a fix over the weekend and resumed the roll out today..As the update is via OTA, user will get a notification when the update arrives on their smartphone. However, one can even alternatively check manually in the Settings menu to see if they have received the update or not.

We’ve heard from some Mi 4i users that their devices can get warm under more strenuous conditions such as complex 3D gaming for extended periods of time. To address these concerns, we’ve optimized our thermal control algorithms to better regulate the temperature. The new thermal controls adjust frequency, voltage and the number of cores in use depending on the chipset temperature.
