Modern Xiaomi smartphones are famous for their shell MIUI And HyperOS, which often automatically detects the operator and loads the configurations that are needed, but in reality, users often face a situation where, after installing a new one, they can easily find themselves in the hands of the user. SIM-The mobile Internet stops working, and this is especially true for subscribers. Tele2, whose network is actively developing, but requires accurate parameters for stable operation in areas of uncertain reception.
The problem may not be the lack of coverage, but the incorrect settings of the APN hotspot. If your Redmi or POCO doesn't switch to 4G, or pages simply don't load when mobile data is turned on, manually editing settings often becomes the only right solution. In this article, we'll take a detailed look at the manual configuration process, eliminating typical errors.
Before we get into the tricky stuff, we need to make sure that the problem is with the software settings, not the balance or physical contact of the SIM card. Often, users forget to check the basics by rushing into the menu, and we'll look at everything from initial diagnosis to entering specific codes that are relevant to Android devices.
Primary diagnostics and preparation of SIM-card
Before you go into the engineering settings menu, you need to rule out the basic malfunctions. SIM-map Tele2 It is active, not blocked by the operator and has a positive balance, sometimes operators block Internet access at zero balance, even if the packets of minutes and the number of minutes are not blocked. SMS accessible.
Check the physical condition of the chip. If you haven't changed the SIM card in a long time, its contacts may have oxidized or damaged when pruned into Nano-SIM format. Gently wipe the gold contacts with a stripe or soft cloth. Also make sure that the tray is inserted before the click, and the phone sees the network correctly.
☑️ Checking before setting up
The important thing is to choose a slot for SIM-On many models Xiaomi first slot (SIM 1) is used for data transfer, if you have a dual-sim machine, try rearranging the map. Tele2 It's the first slot. It often solves the problem of determining the type of network.
⚠️ If after rebooting the phone says "No network" or "Emergency calls only", it is possible, SIM-The card is physically defective or incompatible with your phone’s frequency range in the area.
Search for APN Access Points Menu on Xiaomi
The interface of the MIUI shell may vary depending on the Android version and regional firmware (Global, China, Russia).However, the path to mobile network settings remains almost identical in all versions. You will need care, as some items can be hidden in the submenu.
To start, open the standard Settings app on your smartphone. Find the Mobile Networks section. In some firmware versions, this item is immediately in the main menu, in others, inside the Connectivity and Sharing section or SIM-maps and mobile networks.
After entering the mobile network section, select SIM-map Tele2. Usually. SIM 1 SIM 2, depending on where you pasted the card. Next, look for the access point (APN). This is where all the parameters for accessing the global network are stored.
💡
If you can’t find the APN, search by settings: type “APN” or “Access Points” in the search bar at the top of the settings screen.
In the list that opens, you'll see existing profiles. If there's already a Tele2 record on it, but the Internet isn't working, don't rush to delete it. You'd better create a new profile from scratch to avoid conflicts between old, possibly outdated parameters and new operator requirements.
Manual creation of Tele2 profile: exact parameters
This is the most critical stage. Any typo in the parameter name or value can cause the Internet to fail. In the upper right or lower corner of the screen, press the + button or New Access Point. The form will open.
You have to fill in a few fields. You can leave the rest blank or with default values, the main thing is to follow the register of letters (although the system often leads to the bottom one, it is better to write as in the instructions) and there are no unnecessary spaces.
| Parameter | Meaning | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Name. | Tele2 Internet | Any name for you. |
| APN | internet.tele2.ru | Critically important |
| User name | (empty) | Leave empty |
| Password. | (empty) | Leave empty |
| Type APN | default,supl | Or default. |
Pay special attention to the field APN. Exactly the address. internet.tele2.ru It's a gateway to the network. APN (APN Type) is best to prescribe default,supl. This will ensure the operation of not only the regular Internet, but also geolocation services (A-GPS), speed up the search for satellites.
💡
The most common mistake is to have extra spaces at the beginning or end of an APN line, and make sure that the cursor is right after the last letter of the address.
After filling in all the fields, be sure to click the menu (three dots in the corner) and select Save. Just go back is not enough - the new dot is not activated. After saving, mark the created profile with a radio button to make it active.
Configure protocols and additional parameters
In the advanced access point settings (click on them or scroll down) you can find parameters that affect the speed and stability of the connection. For the Tele2 network on Xiaomi devices, it is recommended to check the protocol settings.
Find the APN Protocol and APN Roaming Protocol fields. In both cases, it is recommended to set the IPv4/IPv6 value. This will allow the phone to automatically select the optimal connection protocol. If your region is not already fully covered by IPv6, the phone will switch to IPv4 without losing communication.
Why do you need MCC and MNC?
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) option is usually left blank or set to 0. Changing this option unnecessarily can lead to packet fragmentation and lower page load speed. The authentication protocol (APN Authentication Type) is better to choose PAP or CHAP, although Tele2 is often suitable and Not specified.
⚠️ Attention: Do not change the fields MCC and MNC, If you're not sure what they mean for your region, a failure in those numbers can cause the phone to stop seeing the operator's network at all.
Activation of settings and reboot of the communication module
Once you have saved the new Tele2 Internet hotspot and selected it to be active, you need to reboot the communication module. Simply turning off the screen is not enough. The most reliable way is to turn on In-flight mode for 10-15 seconds, and then turn it off.
If the 4G or LTE icon doesn’t appear after the flight mode is turned on, try a full reboot of the Xiaomi smartphone. This is necessary in order for the system to completely reread the network configuration files and apply the new APN settings.
Check the result. Open your browser and try to go to any site, like tele2.ru or google.com. If the page loaded, then the setup was successful. If you see a connection error, check if the data is turned on in the notification curtain.
Solving common problems and errors
Even with the right settings, there can be nuances. Often the problem is that the phone is stuck on the old access point. In the APN menu, click three points in the corner and select Reset to the standard ones. After that, create a profile again.
Another common problem on Xiaomi is traffic savings or power saving mode, which can block background data transfer. Go to the battery settings and make sure that there is no restriction for network system processes. Also check if 2G/3G Only is enabled in the network type settings of your preferred type.
In some cases, resetting network settings helps, which will delete all stored Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth settings, but return the network stack to factory state. → Connections and sharing → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile networks and Bluetooth.
💡
If nothing helps, take it out. SIM-If the Internet works there, the problem is in the settings of Xiaomi. If not, contact the salon. Tele2 substitute SIM-map.
⚠️ Note: Resetting network settings will remove all saved passwords from Wi-Fi. Make sure you remember the password from your home network so you don't lose access to the router.
