Change screen door

News of September 11, 2015 According to a report by the Voice of Economy "Tianxia Company", Xiaomi may not have expected that the overwhelming advertising of the best-selling model Redmi Note 2 has caused them a lot of trouble.


A consumer told "Tianxia Company" that the Redmi Note 2 he had just bought, but found that the screen used in the phone was not the Sharp screen previously advertised, but a domestic screen, and he believed that he was deceived. 

The Redmi series has always been Xiaomi’s best-selling product, and the newly released Redmi Note 2 has also received the attention of Xiaomi. According to the latest official data, the sales volume of Redmi Note 2 has reached 1.5 million units in half a month, setting one of Xiaomi's historical records. 

It is understood that many Redmi Note 2 consumers on e-commerce platforms such as Suning.com, JD.com, and Xiaomi's official website all stated that the product promotional materials they had learned before purchasing the phone did not match the actual evaluation, and told the reporter of "Tianxia Company", at that time, the promotion was to use Sharp or AUO screens. 

However, most of these pages have been corrected.


A public relations officer of Xiaomi Company told Tianxia Company that Xiaomi did not claim that it was using Sharp’s screens, and that third-party platforms may have used screen materials of other products in their promotion. 

It is understood that Redmi Note2 uses Tianma screen, and the manufacturer is Shentianma A, a company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. 

The staff of Shentianma A’s Office of the Secretary of the Board of Directors told reporters that the information about the Note2 cooperation with Xiaomi is true. But the specific details are not convenient to disclose.


False promotion

Real-name report

On September 2, 2015, Tan Wensheng, chairman of QingCong Mobile, reported to the Beijing Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce that Xiaomi mobile phone was suspected of false propaganda. 

The Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce has accepted the real-name report. The report material displayed by Tan Wensheng shows that Xiaomi Note uses words such as "king of screen" and "lowest" in its promotion. 

He believes that "all the above will eventually lead to consumers being very easy to be misled by exaggerated and false advertising slogans when buying mobile phone products".


Investigation

On September 23, 2015, the Haidian Branch of the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce stated in a document that after receiving the report, the law enforcement officers of the branch checked on the spot and found that Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. was suspected of using it in an advertisement posted on Xiaomi’s official website. 

Violations of "sensitive" terms. Based on the above verification, the bureau decided to open a case for investigation and handling.


The Beijing Enterprise Credit Information Network disclosed that Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. was fined 30,000 yuan by the Haidian Branch of the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce for publishing illegal advertisements. 

The propaganda texts such as “46 patents applied for” on the edge touch of Xiaomi 4C mobile phones published on Xiaomi’s official website violate the Advertising Law. 

According to statistics, this is the third time that Xiaomi has been punished by the industry and commerce department for advertising issues. 

The letter of the political penalty decision shows that Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. has been promoting the “Black Technology” and other textual content in the Xiaomi 4C mobile phone edge touch that has applied for 46 patents on the Xiaomi official website from September 15, 2015. 

The industry and commerce department verified that Xiaomi Technology has not yet obtained a patent certificate, only the patent application number. 

The use of patent applications for which no patent has been granted for advertising has constituted an illegal act of publishing illegal advertisements.


In September 2014, Xiaomi was fined 5,000 yuan for "advertising demeaning the goods or services of other producers and operators". Two months later, Xiaomi was fined 150,000 yuan for false propaganda. 

The reason is that the actual CPU model used by the Xiaomi Mi 3 Unicom version does not match the publicity, and the sneaking of the CPU model has caused a lot of dissatisfaction with "mi fans".


Quality gate

In mid-January 2016, the Shanghai Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced the results of a random inspection of air purifiers. 

Among the 36 batches of purifier products randomly checked, Xiaomi purifiers were labeled as "serious quality problems", and the unqualified items involved "solid pollutant clean air volume" and "noise". 

In response, Xiaomi responded on Weibo, stating that the product does not have user-level quality and safety issues. 

The results of the purification ability test in the test report are due to the inconsistency of the test method and the product software settings. 

According to reports, Xiaomi has applied for a review and transferred to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision for processing. The results of the review have not yet been announced.


Upgrade door

Some netizens broke the news that after "bricking", users could not restore the original system through online flashing, and could only be sent to after-sales. 

Xiaomi after-sales also did not take flashing repair measures, but provided customers with replacement services. 

After understanding, it was found that the "brick" phenomenon was caused by the official update of the official OTA upgrade package (MIUI7.1.13.0LHOCNCL) on the Redmi Note3 phone. 

The "brick" phenomenon was particularly serious after the full Netcom version of the mobile phone was updated.


There is a response from a person on Weibo whose identity is "MIUI Weibo Operation of Xiaomi Company" saying, "Because there is a problem with the account and version verification mechanism, the issue is being processed, please contact customer service or go to Xiaomi's home to deal with it and give it to you Please forgive me for the inconvenience."

Xiaomi agreed to exchange and has received the data cable. After that, Wang Xin sued the Haidian District People’s Court of Beijing on the grounds of price fraud by Xiaomi, requesting the cancellation of the online shopping contract.

2. Refund Wang Xin's purchase price of 108 yuan

3. Pay Wang Xin's express delivery fee of 15 yuan
