The night mode on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 is a useful feature for protecting vision, but sometimes it works incorrectly or simply interferes with. For example, the screen can turn yellow at inappropriate times, automatically turn on in low light or knock down color reproduction in games and photos. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off night mode, from basic to hidden MIUI settings that not all users know.
The Redmi Note 10 (mojito/sunny) is that night mode is closely linked to the light sensor and adaptive brightness system, and if you just turn off the function in the settings, it can turn on when you update your MIUI or reset your settings, so we'll look at not only standard methods, but also ways to completely shut down through the developer and even ADB.
Important: If the color on the screen appears too cold after the night mode is turned off, check the white balance in Settings → Display → Color scheme.
1. Disable night mode through the notification panel
The fastest way is to use the control center. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification bar. There are two possibilities:
- 🌙 Night Mode icon — tap it once to turn off the function. If there's no icon, tap on the pencil (✏️) in the upper right corner and add it manually.
- 🔄 Long-term pressing – hold your finger on the icon 1-2 seconds to get into the settings → Display. → Night mode.
Note that if the night mode is on as scheduled, it will only work until the next automatic start (e.g., 7:00 a.m.) to remove it permanently, you need to change your schedule settings.
⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI 13/14 After manually disabling through the notification panel, the function can be activated again when the screen is locked. This is a system bug - the solution is described in the section on resetting display settings.
2. Complete disabling in MIUI settings
If the night mode is turned on by itself, you need to turn it off in the settings menu.
- Open the Settings → Display.
- Select Night Mode (or Read Mode on some firmware versions).
- Move the slider to the off position.
- Turn off the options: 🕒 Automatically scheduled. 🌅 From sunset to sunrise 🔄 Adaptive brightness (if it is associated with night mode)
On the Redmi Note 10 with MIUI 12.5+, there's a hidden option called Color Temperature inside the night mode. If the screen stays yellowish after the switch is turned off, check this setting - it could have lost its warm colors (3000K-4000K). Return the slider to 5000K-6500K for natural colors.
3. Reset display settings (if night mode is not turned off)
Sometimes night mode is flooded into the system and does not respond to changes in settings, this happens due to a failure in the display configuration file.
- Go to Settings. → The phone.
- Find All Specifications and tap the MIUI 7-10 times to activate the developer mode.
- Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
- Find the option Reset the display settings and confirm the action.
⚠️ Warning: Resetting the display does not affect user data, but will return to default values adaptive brightness, color scheme and read mode. If you use the screen calibration for specific tasks (for example, for a photo), it will have to be reconfigured.

4. Disconnection via ADB (for power users)
If night mode is turned on due to a system failure or virus, it can be blocked at the Android level using ADB. This method is suitable for the Redmi Note 10 on any version of MIUI, but requires a connection to a computer.
Instructions:
- Install Platform Tools on your PC.
- Activate debugging over USB in Settings → For developers.
- Connect your phone to your computer and execute the command: adb shell settings put global. night_display_available 0
- Reset the device.
This command completely disables the system-level night mode function. To bring it back, use:
adb shell settings put global night_display_available 1| ADB Team Team | The effect | Reversibility |
|---|---|---|
| night_display_available 0 | Complete night-time shutdown | Yes (Team 1) |
| night_display_activated 0 | Turns off current activation | Yes (until next schedule) |
| night_display_auto_mode 0 | Turns off automatic mode. | Yes. |
Warning: improper use of ADB may disrupt the system. If the screen turns black and white or artifacts appear after the commands, reset the display settings (Section 3).
What if the ADB does not recognize the device?
5. Illumination sensor inspection and calibration
On the Redmi Note 10, night mode often works because the light sensor is not working properly, so if the phone mistakenly thinks it's dark, it forces the warm filter to turn on.
- Open the Phone app and dial ##6484## (sensor test).
- Look at the Light sensor, which is 100 to 1,000 lux under normal conditions, and if it's 0 or 10,000+, it's malfunctioning.
- Wipe the sensor area (near the front camera) from dust and grease.
If the sensor is working but the night mode is working too often, calibrate it:
- 📱 Go to Settings. → The phone. → All specifications → Version of the kernel (stamp 5 times).
- 🔧 In the menu that opens, select Sensor Calibration → Light sensor.
- 🌞 Follow the instructions on the screen (you will need to bring the phone to the light source and darken it).
After calibration, check how the night mode behaves in different lighting conditions. If the problem persists, try turning off adaptive brightness in Settings → Display - it may conflict with the sensor.
💡
If the light sensor is physically broken, it can be turned off completely through the ADB Adb shell settings put global auto_brightness_enabled 0. But keep in mind that after that adaptive brightness will not work.
6. Alternative solutions: third-party applications and firmware
If standard methods don’t help, consider the following options:
- 📱 Screen calibration applications (e.g. Night Shift Enabler or Blue Light Filter) allow you to manually adjust color temperature bypassing system constraints. MIUI.
- 🔄 Reflashing to a more stable version MIUI (for example, MIUI EU On custom firmware, night mode is often more correct.
- 🛠️ Resetting to factory settings is an extreme method if the failure is caused by a virus or damage to system files. → Additionally. → Backup.
Warning: Installing custom firmware will void warranty and may lead to a device blink.If you are unsure of your skills, you should contact Xiaomi's service center.
For those who want to keep the night mode but make it less intrusive, there is an alternative: use Read Mode in Settings → Display, which makes the screen black and white, but does not distort colors as much as the night mode.
💡
If the night mode is turned on on by itself after the update MIUI, Try to roll back to the previous firmware version via Fastboot. instructions are available on the Xiaomi forum EU.
