Answered by Willie Powers

Restarting a Mi phone without the power button and volume button can be a bit challenging, but there are a few alternative methods you can try. Here are some options:

1. Plug in your charger: If your Mi phone’s battery has died and you want to restart it, simply plug in your charger. This will automatically turn on your phone and initiate the restart process. Make sure to use a genuine charger and wait for a few minutes to allow your phone to charge before turning it on.

2. Using recovery mode: Recovery mode is a built-in feature on Android devices that allows you to perform various system-related tasks. To access recovery mode on a Mi phone without the power and volume buttons, follow these steps:

A. Connect your phone to a computer via USB cable.
B. Install the necessary USB drivers for your Mi phone on your computer if you haven’t done so already.
C. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer and navigate to the folder where the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) tools are installed.
D. Enter the following command to boot your phone into recovery mode: adb reboot recovery
E. Your phone will now enter recovery mode, where you can use the volume up and volume down buttons on your computer screen (if available) to navigate through the options. Use the power button (if available) to select an option.
F. Look for the “Restart” or “Reboot” option and select it to restart your phone.

3. Using third-party apps: There are several third-party apps available on the Google Play Store that allow you to restart your phone without using the power button. These apps usually provide a floating button on your screen, which you can tap to access the power menu and restart your phone. Some popular apps include “Power Button to Volume Button” and “Assistive Touch for Android.”

4. Scheduled power on/off: If you want to restart your Mi phone at a specific time, you can use the scheduled power on/off feature. This feature allows you to set a time for your phone to automatically turn off and on. To use this feature, go to the “Settings” app on your Mi phone, select “Additional Settings,” then “Scheduled Power On/Off.” Set the desired time for your phone to restart, and it will automatically do so.

5. Restarting Android phone using ADB: ADB can be used to restart your Mi phone without the need for physical buttons. Follow these steps:

A. Connect your Mi phone to a computer via USB cable and make sure you have ADB installed.
B. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer and navigate to the folder where the ADB tools are installed.
C. Enter the following command to restart your phone: adb reboot
D. Your Mi phone will now restart.

These methods should help you restart your Mi phone without using the power button and volume button. Remember to use caution when using any third-party apps or making changes to your phone’s system settings.
