The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max has the most problems on the list
The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max has the largest number of these errors. In HyperOS 4.0.5.0, automated tasks sometimes started incorrectly. In the previous build 4.0.4.0, there were problems with playing videos in landscape orientation through the Xiaomi Video app. Xiaomi also recorded several other shortcomings:
- incorrect operation of the global search interface;
- floating keyboard problems;
- loss of line wrapping formatting in some notes;
- WeChat hangs;
- Gallery crash when editing photos.

HyperOS 4 will fix Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 bugs
On the Xiaomi 17 Pro, the problems mainly related to system applications. In version 4.0.5.0, the app store would sometimes freeze, the calculator would not display calculation history correctly, and the browser would crash. The regular Xiaomi 17 had problems with the main camera. After installing HyperOS 4.0.5.0, photos from the main module sometimes came out blurry. In version 4.0.4.0, the global search menu also did not work correctly. A separate bug concerns the REDMI K90. In firmware 4.0.4.0, the Xiaomi Mall application did not always open the desired screen. Xiaomi notes that these four smartphones are listed as examples. If similar errors are found on other models, the company plans to release fixes for them as well.
Some of the HyperOS 4 fixes are for Chinese apps
Xiaomi’s list mentions three apps: WeChat, Xiaomi Video, and Xiaomi Mall. All of them are mainly focused on the Chinese market. Therefore, the corresponding corrections will primarily be relevant for owners of Chinese versions of smartphones. However, other issues may also affect device users in other regions. These are camera, calculator, keyboard and global search errors. Xiaomi has not yet named specific dates for the release of patches for international versions of HyperOS 4. It is also unknown whether smartphones with global firmware will face similar problems. So, Xiaomi and REDMI owners have to watch for the next system updates and individual applications. The company has confirmed that it is working on the problems, but has not yet released a schedule for their elimination for specific models.
