Xiaomi mi5 is slowly pumping from the play market. Apps are not downloaded from the Play Market without WI-FI. Solving problems with Xiaomi. Installation using apk file

Smartphones on android platform today are most common all over the world due to the ease of use and the large number of free ones available on Play Market applications. Indeed, without modern applications, regardless of what kind of smartphone you have: Xiaomi Mi 4C, Xiaomi Mi 5 or even Xiaomi Mi Max, your list of functions and possibilities of using the gadget is sharply reduced. But what to do if the smartphone flatly refuses to download from Google play?! And it was exactly this problem that the devices from the Xiomi company faced.

Causes of the problem

Waiting for a Wi-Fi network in the Play Market on Xiaomi can be caused by a fairly large list of reasons, such as:

Operating system malfunctions (in our case, Android);
The smartphone is connected to a router that does not distribute wi-fi (the Internet may not be available if a router is connected);
Google service problem (rare but solvable problem);
Poor Play Store compatibility with a specific brand (Xiaomi);
Interference from others installed applications on a smartphone (using independent ad blockers, etc.);
Inconsistent settings (manual installation of changes).

Accordingly, there are many solutions to such problems, depending on the complexity and reasons for their occurrence. Let's consider each of the reasons separately.

Banal (simple)

As for simple solutions this problem, it should be highlighted:

Restart your phone. Used in case of unexpected connection problems in the Android operating system itself;
Update time and date. This can cause a malfunction in the Play Market and only after fixing it will establish access to Wi-Fi;
Wait. Sometimes, due to the huge amount of data in the market, there may be problems. In this case, it is worth waiting a little. If everything does not work out within 2 hours, then the problem is something else;
Removing program settings that may affect the operation of the service (for example, Freedom).

More complex

If you can cope with simple tasks without having much experience in using Xiaomi smartphones, then you will have to tinker with the rest. Connecting to a router and everything connected with it is a rather deep topic, let's highlight the main:

Checking for internet availability. The device can be connected to a router, but there is no Internet;
Optimum speed. The provider must provide uninterrupted and good Wi-Fi connection speed;
Fix device connection ban. There are cases when the connection of a specific device is prohibited;
Correctness of entering authorization data (login and password);
Updating the router's firmware;
Factory reset;
There is a chance that the router is simply faulty.

Play Market application problems

Rarely, since Google monitors its products, but it still happens that you download applications, the download of which does not occur due to malfunctions in the play market service itself on your smartphone. The solutions that will correct the situation are:

Connecting another Google account;
Check and install, if necessary, an update for the OS;
Regarding Miui 8 users, it is possible to wait for Wi-Fi in case of an increase in the system settings for the amount of files to download;
Recover from backup applications or, if necessary, the entire operating system;
Clear cache of this application on the smartphone (we remove the clutter of the smartphone);
In the case of "author's" firmware, the option of unofficial sources of downloading the application is possible, so you need to check the details with the author of the firmware;
Reset settings (with the condition of saving all data).

Settings problems

Access settings are one of the keys to creating a reliable and working connection. The solution to this problem is:

Fix changes in the Host file (leave untouched only the base file "0.1 localhost", remove everything else);
Checking proxy settings (if not connected only via Wi-Fi).

Waiting for Wi-Fi in play service Market on Xiaomi smartphones has become a fairly common and discussed issue for brand users. Does not download applications and writes about waiting for wifi - the most frequent requests for Xiaomi today. But do not be discouraged, because following a simple algorithm of actions, you can easily fix the problem, based on your situation.

Recently I encountered such a problem that it was necessary to urgently update the application, and the available wI-FI networks was not nearby. I decided to update with mobile network, removed the check mark in the market, but the download still did not start, instead, the play market wrote "Waiting for WI-FI network" and the process stopped. There is of course no option in the Play Market settings related to the cause of this problem.

Why Xiaomi refuses to download apps and games using the mobile network

In fact, everything turned out to be very simple and understandable, and the play market was not to blame for the problem. The operating system of my Xiaomi - MIUI has such a feature as a built-in bootloader. He is responsible for downloads, updates, their speed, size - well, in general, for everything related to downloading data to a smartphone. At the same time, all applications automatically pick up its settings. For example, if the bootloader only downloads via WI-FI, then no matter how you want, you won't be able to download anything without it. This is exactly what happened, the Play Market simply could not update the application, since the file size during download was larger than the maximum allowed in the bootloader settings.

To be able to download and update applications not only via WI-FI, but also via a mobile network, follow the instructions below.

Xiaomi bootloader setup instructions (MIUI)

First, go to "Tools" - Tools on your smartphone desktop. Here we select the "Downloads" icon - Downloads.

A window opens in front of us where we can view downloaded applications, games, pictures and everything in this spirit. We are interested in the settings, so we click on the button with three dots in the upper right corner.

Menu items pop up, one of which is called "Settings" - Settings. It is he who we need, we click on it.

Now we are looking for the phrase "Download size limit" - restriction mobile internet... By default, there is usually 1MB. We are not satisfied with this, since we want to install applications with a large size. We tap on this item.

We choose from the necessary options the one that suits us and click "OK".
That's all, now you can safely download and update applications using the mobile Internet.

Note: if you do not unlimited Internet on a smartphone or you are using up dedicated traffic very quickly, then it is best to choose small sizes for downloaded files, as this can hit your wallet.

When updating or downloading an application from, you may encounter a "Waiting for download" error. This problem can occur for several reasons, which will be discussed below.

Most errors can arise from a small glitch in the system, which can be corrected by a banal reboot of the gadget. Restart your device and try downloading or updating the app again.

Method 2: Find a stable internet connection

Another reason may be incorrectly working Internet on the device. This may be due to the ending or running out of traffic on the SIM card or the breaking of the WI-FI connection. Check their work in the browser and, if everything works, then go to the next method.

Method 3: Flash Card

Also, a flash card installed in the device can affect the operation of the Play Market. Make sure of her stable work and operability using a card reader or other gadget, or simply remove it and try to download the desired application.

Method 4: Auto-update applications in the Play Market

When downloading a new application, a pending message may also appear due to the fact that previously installed ones are currently being updated. This can happen if auto-update is selected in Google Play settings "Is always" or "Only through WI-FI".

Now let's move on to more complex solutions.

Method 5: Clearing Play Market Data

Method 6: Removing and adding a Google account

In order to erase your Google account data from your device, "Settings" go to "Accounts".

Next step go to "Google".

In almost every mobile device there is an application store. It is very convenient, in the application market you can find almost everything, both paid and free solutions from developers from all over the world. Unfortunately, not all Xiaomi devices sold have a standard app store, which is replaced by chinese counterpart - Mi Market. In this article, we will analyze how to install Google Play Market on Xiaomi devices.

If your Xiaomi device does not have an app store, most likely you have a Chinese version of the firmware, which has two languages \u200b\u200band is intended for residents of China. The Celestial Empire ordered to block all google services on the territory of the country, therefore, devices for China do not have all the applications of the "good company" (with the abbreviation GAPPS - Google Applications), including the Play Market, which is part of them, which is replaced by chinese shop applications.

The site administration is not responsible for your actions, you do everything at your own peril and risk.

Let's consider the most common options for how to install Google Play from simple to more complex.

Installing the Play Market from the Chinese market

Actions may differ slightly on different firmwares, so if it doesn't suit you text instruction, it's worth watching the video tutorial.

We open the Mi Market (Xiaomi Market) application store in the phone.
We enter into the search "Google"
The very first app in the search results must have a red icon and a G in the center, it is called "Google Installer" (the app icon in the Xiaomi Market may change over time). Select and click "Install".
We are waiting for the installation of the program and then launch it.
In the application itself, you need to select "Play Market" and click the "Install" button.
Most likely you will be prompted to install the package required programs under the name "Google Service Framework", without them the play market will not be able to work, so we agree to the installation (use the button in the upper right corner).
The application is installed!

Installation using apk file

You can install the Google Play Market using a separately downloaded application. Unfortunately, most programs will not work on the device, since all of them contain only the Play Market itself, although it requires system applicationswhich are missing in Xiaomi devices with chinese firmware... Therefore, for installation, you will need specially created software packages for Chinese firmware.

All programs are taken from the official English forum, we have placed them on a separate file storage for your convenience. You can also download them yourself from the forum, all links will be given below, to download you will need to enter the forum through yours.

For the performance of all Google programs, you will need a gmail account (mail), when launching applications you will need to enter your username and password. If you do not have them, then you can start them in advance or at the time of device loading.

Also, do not forget to enable the installation of programs from unknown sources in your smartphones.

Option 1

This program, on the assurances of the author, is taken from chinese Xiaomi Market. You will need to install the program, run it and then select which applications from Google you want to install for yourself. After that, you should restart the device.

Option 2

This is already a modified program, with the very minimum required files... Download, launch and the program should install everything you need for the full functioning of the Google Play Market.

Installation via bootloader (recovery)

This option differs from the previous ones in that we will not install the installation through operating system... This setting is considered the most correct in the circles of advanced users.

Installation by flashing

For most xiaomi devices an international multilingual firmware has been released, in which there is a Russian language and all programs from Google. If you are going to russify your device, then it would be best to simply flash it with a multilingual version of miui. In this case, the market itself will be in Russian. You can read the instructions with us.

Possible problems

If you are thrown out, programs from the play market are downloading slowly, they do not want to install applications or the application itself does not work, then you can try one of the following tricks.

During the installation of the application package from the Mi market or via the apk file, it may happen that Google Play itself will be installed faster than the necessary system files... Therefore, after launching the market, the application will simply crash. To fix this, you need to uninstall Play Market as a regular program (long tap on the icon and drag it up to uninstall) and then reinstall the market from the "Google Installer", only now without the Service Framework package.

If the problems persist after reinstalling, it may be worth deleting the Google account from the phone, restarting the device and registering it again. In our case, with smartphone xiaomi redmi 3 pro this tip helped. According to reviews, after this manipulation, 98% of the problems disappear.

Another solution to many problems is to install more new version Play Market over the old one. At the moment, the current version is assembly number 5.6.8. You can download it from this link, forum.

Incorrect date and time can be causing gapps to crash, so make sure you have the correct time, date and time zone.

Reset market settings. To do this, go to the application manager, find the Play Market in the list and click on it. In the preferences window, select "Erase Data" and "Clear Cache".
