Have Your Xiaomi Phones Widgets Become Unresponsive, No Longer Update & You Can’t Click Them!? Let’s fix that for you in less than 10 seconds!
It took me a while to notice this problem, as my widgets looked normal after I recently updated my Xiaomi Mi 9 phone to MIUI 11 & Android 10.
But when I tried to click on the widgets, nothing happened. It turned my phone on & off, but still nothing. I tried to remove the widgets and re-add them… still nothing… it seems like my Xiaomi smartphone was doomed to never use widgets again…
Okay, maybe I’m being a little dramatic, so a few days later I decided that I really missed my weather widgets and I was going to find a solution to MIUI11 and broken Android Widgets.
