How to turn off the night mode on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

Owners of the popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 smartphone often face a situation when the screen of the device suddenly turns an unnatural yellowish hue. This is not a matrix defect or a sign of a display breakdown, but the result of a standard visual protection function known as Night Mode.

However, for many users, this color correction becomes an annoying factor, especially when working with photos or watching videos, where accurate color reproduction is important. Yellow can distort the perception of content and cause discomfort if you are used to cold shades of white. In this article, we will discuss in detail how to completely deactivate this feature or flexibly adjust its settings to your preferences.

Before we get to the settings, it's worth figuring out what causes the color temperature change on your device. In the MIUI shell that's installed on the Redmi Note 7, it's a system component that filters blue light. Sometimes users confuse it with a power saving mode or a design theme, but the mechanism here is completely different. The blue filter can be forced on by you manually, activated on a sunset and dawn schedule, or run constantly.

Importantly, turning the feature off completely will return the standard screen calibration that the manufacturer has set, and if the yellow tint remains even after all settings are turned off, it may be a problem with third-party apps or damage to the display plume, but 99% of the time it is the software settings of the MIUI interface.

⚠️ Warning: Long-term use of a smartphone with a completely turned off blue light filter in the dark can lead to increased eye fatigue and disruption of circadian rhythms (sleep mode.

The fastest and most obvious way to remove yellow from the screen is to use the notification curtain, which is ideal for situations where you need to quickly return normal colors to view a photo or video, and then turn on eye protection again. On the Redmi Note 7, the path to the switch may vary slightly depending on the firmware version (Global or China), but the logic remains the same.

Swipe from top to bottom across the screen to open the control center. If you don't see the right icon on the first page, pull the curtain again or press the edit button (usually a pencil icon or three dots). Find an item called Reading Mode or Eye Protection. In some versions of the shell, it may be called Reading Mode.

• 🔵 Click on the icon once to activate or deactivate the function instantly.
• 🔵 Hold the icon with your finger on it. 2-3 Seconds to go to the extended settings menu.
• 🔵 Use a brightness slider in the curtain for additional correction if the screen seems too dim.

If the curtain doesn't have the right switch, don't panic. You can always add it through the Quick Settings Edit menu or use the main system settings menu, which we'll talk about in the next section. Quick access is convenient, but it doesn't allow you to fine-tune the temperature range.

To get the display parameters deeply customized, you need to go to the system menu. This is where the basic controls of color temperature and filter schedule are hidden. On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, the path to these settings is standardized, but there may be slight differences in item names.

Open the Settings app and find the Screen (or Display) section, and you're interested in Read Mode (sometimes called Eye Protection) inside of it, and you go there and you see the main function switch. If it's active, just put it in an inactive position. However, just turn it off is only half the battle.

The same menu often has a Schedule option hidden in it. Even if the main switch is off, check if it ticks "Schedule on" or "Downset to Dawn." The system can automatically activate the yellow filter, ignoring your manual shutdown if time automation is enabled.

Also on the screen menu, you should pay attention to Color Temperature or Color scheme. Sometimes users randomly select a profile "Warm" or "Paper", which is visually very similar to night mode, although technically these are different functions. Choose a profile Standard or Saturated to return the usual colors.

One of the most common reasons for the yellow screen to "return" is the automatic time-on feature.The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 features a light sensor and has access to geolocation, allowing the system to accurately determine the sunset and dawn times in your area.

When this option is active, the smartphone makes its own decision when you need eye protection. In winter, when it gets dark early, the screen can turn yellow as early as 16:00-17:00, which annoys many people. To turn off this automation, you need to go to the Read Mode settings and find the Schedule subsection.

Here you will see several options for work:

• 🌅 From Dusk to Dawn: Mode is turned on automatically based on your location.
• ⏰ Predetermined time: you specify the hours of on and off.
• ❌ Off: Complete deactivation of the timer.

Select Off to once and for all prevent the system from changing the color of the screen without your knowledge. If you want to leave the feature, but make it less intrusive, adjust the time interval manually, for example, from 23:00 to 07:00.

After disabling the basic features, it may turn out that the screen is still not pleasing to the eye of its color rendering.The Redmi Note 7 uses the same color. IPS-A matrix that allows you to programmatically adjust the shade of white, and it's a separate setting that doesn't depend on the night mode, but it affects the final picture.

Same menu Settings → Find the Color Temperature (or Color scheme) screen where presets are usually available: Standard, Saturated, Contrast and Custom settings. Select Standard for the most neutral image.

If you select Custom, you can access the correction sliders, you can cool or warm the shade yourself by moving the slider to the blue or yellow zone, and that's the best way to get the perfect picture if the standard profiles don't fit you.

Use the table above to understand which profile is right for you. To turn off the effect of the yellow screen, the Standard profile is best suited, as it provides the most accurate color reproduction without artificially heating the shades.

💡

White Calibration: If the screen still looks yellow after all the settings, try to shift the temperature slider in the User profile to the blue (right) until the white background is really white, not milky.

Sometimes Redmi Note 7 users encounter a bug when settings are reset or the function is turned on on on its own after a reboot.This may be due to a conflict of system processes or errors in a particular version of MIUI.

Go to Settings → Applications → All apps. Find Settings (cog icon) in the list. Click on it and select Clear → Clear cache. Don't worry, your personal data (photos, contacts) won't be affected, only temporary system settings files will be reset.

It’s also worth checking if you have a third-party blue light reading or filtering app (e.g. Blue Light Filter, Twilight) that might conflict with Xiaomi’s built-in feature. If you have one, try temporarily removing them or disabling filters.

⚠️ Attention: When cleaning the system application Settings (not to be confused with cache) can reset all your personalization system, including alarm settings, Wi-Fi passwords and the location of icons. Be careful and choose exactly "Clear cache».

For advanced users who want to gain full control of the screen, there is a possibility of using the screen. ADB-This allows you to disable the system components responsible for the filter at a deeper level if the standard settings do not work.

This will require a computer installed by ADB Driver and enabled USB debugging on your smartphone, and the command to reset color profile settings is as follows:

adb shell settings put system display_color_mode 0

This command enforces a standard display mode, but it should only be used in extreme cases when a software bug does not allow the yellowness to be removed by conventional means, and for most users, a standard settings menu is enough.

💡

Resetting through ADB is a radical measure, and 95% of the time, the problem is solved by checking the schedule and color temperature profile in the normal screen settings.

In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 has a fairly flexible display management system. Yellow screen problems are solved in a few minutes, if you know where to look for switches. The main thing is not to confuse reading mode, night mode and color temperature profile, since these are three different functions that affect the picture.

Not only will the screen be set up correctly to give you the pleasure of using your smartphone, but it will also provide eye comfort at any time of the day. Experiment with profiles to find the perfect balance between brightness, color reproduction and fatigue of vision.
