How to completely turn off energy savings on Xiaomi: smartphones, TV and smart devices

Why Xiaomi is forced to save energy and when it gets in the way

The power saving modes in Xiaomi devices are a two-way sword. On the one hand, they prolong the battery life of smartphones on the other hand. 15-30% And they also reduce the CPU heat in TVs, and they often block the background of apps, they cut performance in games, and they even interfere with the normal operation of a smart home. 12 It can suddenly limit the frequency of the processor to 1.2 GHz 20% charge, and Mi TV Q2 — Remove the screen light to an unacceptable level.

The problem is compounded by the fact that Xiaomi aggressively implements energy saving at the level of the company. MIUI Even after manually disabling all visible options, the system can secretly return restrictions through the Internet. 1-2 On the other hand, especially on budget models like Poco. M6 Pro or Redmi 13C). In this article, we will discuss how to completely deactivate all types of savings - from basic settings to hidden parameters through the use of the software. ADB.

Types of energy saving in Xiaomi: what can and can not be turned off

Xiaomi devices use four levels of power management, and not all of them are available for manual control.

• 🔋 Adaptive energy saving (on by default for all) MIUI/HyperOS) — dynamically adjusts frequency CPU/GPU Depending on the battery charge, you can turn it off partially.
• ⚡ Super Mode (available on smartphones with battery) ≥5000 mAh - limits background processes and brightness to 50%. manually shuts down.
• 🛡️ Battery protection (starting with the MIUI 13) – locks a charge above 80% or below 20% to extend the battery life. ADB shutdown.
• 📺 Eco-TV mode (on Mi) TV A2/Q2/P1) — It reduces brightness, contrast, and turns off local dimming. It only turns off via the service menu.

It is important to understand that on HyperOS devices (e.g. Xiaomi 14 or Redmi K70), some of the energy saving functions are integrated into the core of the system, which means that even after all the switches are turned off in the interface, MIUI can return the restrictions at a critical charge level (≤10%) or overheating (> 45 ° C).

How to turn off energy savings on Xiaomi smartphones (Step-by-step)

Let’s start with the basic methods that work on all models from Redmi. 9A Xiaomi 14 Ultra.Important: After the update MIUI/HyperOS The settings may be reset - check them once in a while 1-2 month.

Method 1: Using the standard MIUI/HyperOS settings

1. Open the Settings. → Battery.
2. Slip on Battery Mode (or Energy Saving in older versions).
3. Choose Productivity (or No Limitations).
4. Go back and turn off the Adaptive Energy Saving switch.
5. Go to Settings → Applications → Battery Management and for critical applications (messengers, navigators) select No Limits.

On HyperOS (for example, on Xiaomi 13T or Redmi Note 13 Pro+), the path is slightly different:

Settings → Battery and Performance → Battery Modes → Performance

Super-Energy Saving Mode Disabled"|Selected profile "Productivity"|Adaptive energy saving is turned off|Critical annexes added to exceptions|Processor temperature checked (must be) ≤40°C to the plain)-->

Method 2: Through the Developer’s Hidden Settings

If the standard settings don’t help (like the Poco F5 or Xiaomi 12 Pro), try:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone and tap 7 times to the MIUI version.
2. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
3. Find and Disable: Background Process Limitation (set Standard Limit) MIUI Optimization (disable) Aggressive Application Termination (disable)

Reset the device.

⚠️ Note: Some models (e.g. Redmi Note) 11 Pro+) shutdown MIUI This can lead to increased battery consumption 20-30%. Watch the temperature of the processor – without optimization, it can overheat in games.

Method 3: Through ADB (to completely shut down)

If your Xiaomi is persistently returning power saving (typical of the MIUI 14+), you will need ADB. This method works on all models, but requires a computer.

Instructions:

1. Install ADB on PC (download from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)


2. Connect your phone via USB (enable debugging in Developer Settings)




3. Enter the commands in turn:





adb shell settings put global low_power_mode 0




adb shell dumpsys deviceidle force-idle




adb shell settings put global adaptive_battery_management_enabled 0




adb shell settings put global power_save_mode 0

To verify, do:

adb shell settings get global low_power_mode

I have to return 0. If 1 comes back, repeat the commands after the reboot.

Power saving on Xiaomi TVs (Mi TV)

Xiaomi TVs (A2, Q2, P1, S Pro series) use three levels of savings, and only one of them is visible to the user. The main problem is Eco mode, which automatically turns on when watching low-brightness content (for example, at night) and reduces contrast by 30%, and local dimming turns off completely.

Method 1: Through user settings

1. On the remote, press Settings (Settings).
2. Go to Display and Sound → Picture → Image Modes.
3. Choose Custom or Movie (not Energy Saving!).
4. Turn off the Adaptive Brightness Tumbler.
5. Return to Settings → System → Energy Saving and turn off Sleep Mode.

Method 2: Through the Service Menu (for Advanced)

If the standard settings don’t help (relevant to the Mi TV Q2 75” and older), use the service menu:

1. On the remote, tap sequentially: Menu → Settings → All Settings → General → Device Preferences → About → Press 5 times on Model TV.
2. The Service Menu menu will open (default password is 3311 or 1122).
3. Go to Picture Settings → Eco Mode and install Off.
4. In Power Saving, turn off Auto Brightness Limiter and Backlight Control.

This can only be partially disabled, since the Zepp OS firmware severely limits user settings.

Instructions for Mi Band 7/8 and Watch S3:

1. In the Mi Fitness (or Zepp Life) app, go to your device profile.
2. Open Settings → Screen → Brightness and install Manual (turn off Adaptive).
3. In the Notifications section, enable Permanent Connection (this will increase battery consumption by ~15%).
4. For Watch 2 Pro: in Settings → System → Modes of operation, select Performance.

💡

If the bracelet starts to run out after 1-2 days after the power saving is turned off, try calibrating the battery: discharge to 0%, then charge to 100% without interruption.

The Hidden Problems: Why Energy Saving Is Returning

Even after all switches are completely turned off, MIUI/HyperOS can secretly include restrictions.

On HyperOS devices (such as the Xiaomi 14 or Redmi K70 Pro), a new mechanism, Intelligent Power Management (IPM), has been added to analyze user habits and can block background processes for “rarely used” applications even if they are exceptions, to disable IPM:

adb shell settings put global hyperos_power_management_enabled 0

What happens if you completely turn off energy saving: pros and cons

Deactivating all the energy saving mechanisms completely has both advantages and serious disadvantages.

• ✅ Performance: CPU frequency is always maximum (e.g. 3.2GHz on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 instead of 2.0GHz in saving mode).
• ✅ Background: Applications (such as Telegram or Google Maps) are updated instantly, without delay.
• ✅ Screen brightness: On TV and smartphones, maximum brightness is always available (for example, 1200 nits on Xiaomi 13 Pro instead of 800 nits in eco-mode).
• ❌ Battery consumption: Increases by 30-50% (For example, Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will discharge 8-10 hours 12-14).
• ❌ Heat: The processor temperature can reach 50-55°C in games (the risk of trolling).
• ❌ Battery wear: With constant charging up to 100% and discharged 0% The battery capacity will decrease by 20% post 1.5-2 year (instead of year) 3-4 years of optimization).

💡

On ≤4000mAh battery devices (e.g. Xiaomi 12 Lite), a total power-saving shutdown reduces battery life to 6-8 hours. For such models, it is recommended to use Balanced Mode instead of full deactivation.
