How to turn off battery discharge notifications on Xiaomi

Constant pop-ups warning you that your battery has dropped below 20% or 10% can be annoying, especially when you’re in a noisy place or watching videos. Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphone owners often face the intrusive shell of MIUI or HyperOS, which seeks to control every aspect of their power consumption.

Fortunately, the system allows you to configure this setting flexibly, although this option is hidden in a not very visible place. Unlike standard Android, where system notifications are often grouped, it requires a spot intervention in the settings of special features or system alerts. We will discuss all the current ways to solve this problem for different versions of firmware.

It's worth noting that ignoring the critically low charge completely can cause the device to suddenly shut down at an important moment, so before you remove visual and audio signals, make sure you control the energy level in another way, such as through a widget on your desktop, which will allow you to stay informed of the state of the gadget without bothering interruptions.

Why Xiaomi is constantly reminding you of low charge

The aggressive energy saving policy is the hallmark of the Chinese manufacturer’s devices: MIUI is designed to maximize battery life, even at the expense of user comfort. When the charge level falls below the set threshold (usually 20%), the background monitoring process is activated, which generates the signal.

Developers assume that the user can forget to charge, and try to prevent the phone from running out at the wrong time. However, the frequency and volume of these notifications are often perceived as excessive, especially in older models, where battery wear is faster and the system starts to panic ahead of time.

And there are also system limitations to Android that prevent you from completely removing this process without rooting. Standard methods can only silence the sound or hide the visual display, but the charging mechanism itself will remain active, and understanding this principle will help you choose the right method of disconnection.

Turning off the warning sound through notification settings

The easiest and safest way to remove audio is to change the settings of a specific type of notification, so you don't have to go into deep engineering menus, just find the appropriate section in the standard settings app, and this action won't disrupt other system functions.

To start, go to the Settings menu and look for Sound and Vibration, and here we are interested in the system sound section, which may be called differently depending on the version of the shell, and in some cases you need to select the category "Advanced" or "System sounds".

In the list that opens, you can find the low-power option, which can be called "Low Charge," "Battery Low," or "Discharge Warning." If you uncheck that box, you leave a visual notification, but the phone will stop squeaking, which is a compromise, but effective option.

• 🔊 Open the sound settings and find system alerts.
• 🔇 Remove the allocation from the item "Low battery charge".
• 📱 Check the changes by waiting for the charge to drop below 20%.
• 🔋 Make sure the vibration is also turned off if necessary.

⚠️ Note: In some versions of HyperOS, the direct sound switch may be hidden, in which case the system forcibly reproduces a standard notification sound that cannot be changed without third-party software.

Use of Do Not Disturb Mode for Systemic Sounds

If you can't get the sound out of the system, you can use a trick called Do Not Disturb mode, which filters incoming calls and messages, but it also affects system sounds, including battery alerts, which is a temporary but powerful solution.

You can set this mode to automatically turn on on on a schedule, or you can manually activate it when you need silence. Go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb. Here you can create a rule that will be valid permanently or at certain hours.

It is important to set the exceptions correctly so that you do not miss an important call. In the settings of the mode, select that the system sounds must be blocked. However, remember that in this mode you may not hear the alarm unless you set it as an explicitly exception.

💡

Use the automation in the Safety app to only turn on the Do Not Disturb mode when the battery charge drops below 20%.

The good thing about this method is that it doesn't require any deep changes in the system, you just tell the phone to be quieter at certain times, but it can be uncomfortable to work constantly, because it requires either manual activation or a complicated schedule setup.

Set up special features to hide the window

A more radical method to remove the pop-up itself is in the Special Options section, which is where the settings for people with disabilities are located, but they also allow you to control the behavior of system dialogs, which works on most Xiaomi and Redmi devices.

Go to Settings → Advanced Settings → Special Features. At the top of the screen or in the menu (three dots), select the "Services" or "Downloaded Services" tab. Find the "Low Battery Notice" or similar item there.

Inside this menu, you'll see a switch that controls the display of the dialog box, and by turning it off, you'll prevent the black window from showing up with the discharge text, but the sound signal may still be there, so it's better to combine it with the previous one.

Path to setup:


Settings -> Advanced settings -> Special features -> Tab "Services" -> Low charge notification

The problem with intrusive advertising in notifications

Users often confuse the system discharge warning with advertising notifications from Xiaomi system applications such as MIUI Daemon or GetApps. These apps can send messages with energy saving tips that look very similar to system alerts.

To get rid of them, you need to go to the notification settings of a particular application. Press your finger on the icon of a suspicious application (for example, "Security" or "Conductor") and select "About the application." Then go to the "Notifications" section.

You need to look at the list of categories, look for items with names like "Recommendations," "Marketing," "Advertising" or "Battery Tips," and turn off the switches in front of these items, which will clear the notification curtain of information noise.

It's also worth checking the settings of the "Security" app itself. Inside it, in the "Battery" section, there's a gear settings, there could be "Receive notifications" or "Energy Saving Guidelines," and it should also be deactivated for complete silence.

Hidden settings via engineering menu and ADB

For advanced users who aren’t afraid to experiment, there is a way to turn off the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which requires connecting the phone to a computer and having basic command line knowledge, and hides system notifications that don’t turn off through the interface.

First, you need to activate the developer mode. To do this, seven times click on the build number in the About Phone section. Then in the Developer menu, turn on "Debugging on USB." Connect the smartphone to the PC and enter a command to hide the notification:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.miwarning

This command disables the warning component, but be careful: new versions of HyperOS may call the package differently, and the wrong command can cause the interface to work in an unstable way.

⚠️ Attention: Use ADB-Commands can cancel the warranty in case of damage to system files. Only take action if you understand what you are doing. To return functionality, use the command adb shell pm enable com.miui.miwarning.

If you don't want to use a computer, find the switch apps in the GetApps store or Google Play that create shortcuts for hidden Android settings. They work by creating a shortcut for the hidden battery settings menu.

💡

Using ADB is the most powerful, but also the riskiest method, and standard audio settings and special features are enough for most users.
