{Disarmed} What is the CIT secret menu and how to access it
Have you ever heard of the CIT menu ? It is a 'hardware test' or component test and within the wide catalog of Xiaomi Redmi or POCO mobiles it is called the CIT menu.
And this is where we must go every time a component fails or when something slows down, if you see that the battery does not charge well, the speaker makes a strange noise or the screen darkens. Before calling the technical service you can access this menu and try everything. We tell you how to enter the CIT menu to solve problems before it's too late.
How to activate the CIT menu to test all the components of your mobile
Note that the CIT menu is not available from System Settings, it is not even accessed through the 'Settings' menu. No problem: although it is a bit hidden, it is very easy to access it.
You just have to follow this path:
- Enter the section ' About the phone ', the first within the 'Settings'.
- Within the information of your device touch on the option ' All specifications '.
- Once inside this new menu, scroll down to the ' Kernel version ' option. Now press five times in a row on this section and you will activate the secret CIT menu. And ready.
Once inside you will see a wide list of available tests, between 30 and 40, depending on the terminal. The menu is in English, by the way, but it's easy to understand.
In these sections you will be able to check the status of each element, being able to test components as varied as the speakers, the vibration, the microphones, the reception of the SIM card, the gyroscope, the performance of the battery and others.
Each time you enter each section, the system will check the performance of the component and you will only have to indicate if it passes the test correctly (pass) or if it has failed (fail).
If after a first test you suspect that something is wrong, you can always give it a second pass . Ultimately it is you who has the verdict.
In conclusion, the CIT menu is a tremendously useful and practical tool to certify that everything is going well after an accident, if the mobile phone has fallen into the water or if we think that the screen has pixels that are not working well.
