Xiaomi has officially acknowledged a critical bug in its latest operating system, HyperOS, which causes sudden shutdowns in the Redmi Note 14 series despite the battery indicator displaying remaining power. Users worldwide have reported their devices abruptly turning off even when the battery percentage shows 10% or higher. This unexpected behavior has led to widespread concern among the Redmi Note 14 and Redmi Note 14 Pro users.
The issue stems from a fault in HyperOS versions 3.0.4.0.WOGMIXM (Redmi Note 14) and 3.0.3.0.WOFMIXM (Redmi Note 14 Pro), as confirmed by Xiaomi in their late December 2025 bug tracking report. This bug causes inaccurate battery readings, misleading the device into shutting down prematurely without warning, which disrupts normal use and risks data loss.
Root Cause: Battery Calibration Mismatch
Xiaomi’s internal technical audit revealed the problem arises from a misalignment between the battery’s actual charge and the percentage displayed on the screen. Usually, the system will warn users when the battery reaches a low level (around 5–10%) and enter a power-saving mode before turning off properly. However, the faulty HyperOS versions fail to calibrate the battery sensor correctly.
Consequently, the system mistakenly interprets that the device still has sufficient battery reserve despite being nearly drained. This causes devices to power off immediately without entering the proper low battery warning or shutdown sequence. The impact includes:
- Loss of unsaved user data
- Potential corruption of system files due to forced shutdown
- Difficulty restarting or recharging after the sudden power-off
Temporary Workaround: Manual Battery Calibration
Xiaomi recommends users perform manual battery calibration to minimize the issue while waiting for an official fix. The company advises letting the device completely drain its battery until it shuts down by itself, then charging it uninterrupted up to 100%. This method helps realign the software’s battery sensor readings with the actual battery capacity.
While this workaround does not guarantee a complete solution, many users have reported improved battery indicator accuracy after following the steps. Additionally, Xiaomi has rolled out a beta update with partial fixes to selected testers, but reports indicate the problem persists inconsistently even after installing the beta version.
Other Ongoing Issues: Redmi Note 13 Pro+ Camera Malfunction
Apart from the battery bug, Xiaomi’s weekly report also flagged another hardware-software anomaly affecting the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ camera module. Users in certain regions experience continuous vibration and strange clicking noises when launching the camera app or zooming digitally.
Preliminary investigation points to possible conflicts with the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) driver, firmware glitches, or interference caused by past system updates. Xiaomi has urged affected users to submit detailed feedback, including logs and video evidence, to help pinpoint the root cause.
Successful Fixes in Recent Updates
Amid these critical bugs, Xiaomi also highlighted a number of successful fixes delivered in recent system patches, improving performance and stability on several devices:
- Redmi Pad 2 4G and Redmi 14C 5G: Resolved network connectivity drops on 4G/5G
- Xiaomi Pad 7: Fixed frequent crashes of Messenger app
- Xiaomi 15T Pro: Corrected weather app’s real-time update failures
- Redmi Note 14 5G and POCO M7 Pro 5G: Addressed slow or unrecognized wired charging issues
- Redmi Note 14 Pro: Restored NFC functionality after earlier update breakage
These updates are gradually rolling out to users globally and are expected to be available to all within one to two weeks.
Recommended Actions for Redmi Note 14 Users
To mitigate disruption, affected users should follow these steps:
- Avoid letting battery drain below 20% without prompt recharging
- Perform manual battery calibration as instructed by Xiaomi
- Keep the system updated via Settings > About Phone > System Update
- Report any irregularities through the built-in Feedback app
- Participate in beta testing if eligible and provide honest feedback on fixes
Expectations on Official Patch Release
Xiaomi has not specified an exact date for a stable HyperOS update to fully address the battery shutdown bug. Given the severity, the company is likely to issue an emergency hotfix sometime before the end of January 2026. Xiaomi reaffirmed its commitment to system reliability and responsible handling of user reports.
By maintaining user communication and continuous improvement, Xiaomi aims to restore confidence in its HyperOS platform. Meanwhile, vigilance and adopting recommended practices will help users navigate this issue safely.
The Redmi Note 14 battery bug highlights the challenges of managing software-hardware integration in evolving mobile systems. Despite current setbacks, Xiaomi’s transparency and active response demonstrate ongoing dedication to enhancing device experience and security.
