How to completely disable the error report on Xiaomi Redmi 9T: all working methods

Xiaomi Redmi 9T smartphones regularly collect data about errors and system failures, sending them to developers through the MIUI Crash Report service. While this feature helps improve the firmware, many users face intrusive notifications about “app problems” or notice undue consumption of mobile traffic in the background — up to 50-100 MB per month just to send logs. Moreover, on budget models like Redmi 9T, constant recording of reports can further load the processor and reduce battery life.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can disable error reports, from standard MIUI settings to hidden settings for power users. It’s important to understand that turning the feature off completely won’t affect smartphone stability, but it will make it impossible for you to automatically get fixes for critical bugs. If you’re willing to sacrifice this option to save resources, you’ll start setting up.

Why does Redmi 9T always send error reports?

The reporting function is activated in MIUI by default and operates on three levels:

• 📱 System failures - records interface drops, freezes and reboots;
• 🤖 Application Errors – Tracks crashes of third-party programs (e.g. com.android.phone or com.miui.home);
• 📊 Performance Analytics – Collects data on processor heating, battery discharge, and memory usage.

On the Redmi 9T (model M2010J19SG), this feature is particularly active because of the budget hardware: the weak Snapdragon 662 processor and 4 GB of RAM often cause lags that the system interprets as errors.

• ⚠️ Notifications like “Application Stopped” appear even for standard services;
• 📉 Traffic is used to send logs (up to 300 KB per report);
• 🔋 Background activity drains the battery on 5-7% faster.

The manufacturer claims the data is anonymous, but in 2022, researchers at Kaspersky discovered that MIUI could transmit, along with error reports, an IMEI serial number and even a list of installed applications, which was one of the reasons why users began to look for ways to disable the feature.

Method 1: Disconnect via standard MIUI settings

The easiest method is to use the built-in system options, which are suitable for users who do not want to dig into hidden menus or install additional programs. MIUI 12/13/14 on the Redmi 9T:

1. Open the Settings app (cog icon).
2. Go to the About Phone section. → All parameters.
3. Tap on the item Error Report (may be called Diagnostics and reviews in new versions).
4. Turn off the sliders: 🔘 Send error reports 🔘 Improve MIUI (optionally)

OK.

After that, the system will stop sending most reports, but some critical failures (for example, a drop in the system process) system_server) They can still be locked. To turn them off, you'll need one of the following methods.

Settings open. → The phone. → All parameters.|The "Error Report" item is deactivated|Slider "Improving" MIUI" switched off (optional)|Reboot your phone to apply changes-->

Method 2: Use of the ADB-Teams (for experienced users)

If the standard shutdown didn’t work, you can block reporting via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which requires you to connect your smartphone to your computer, but is guaranteed to disable all types of diagnostics.

• 🖥️ Computer with Windows/Linux/macOS;
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original);
• 📦 Installed Xiaomi drivers and package ADB Tools.

Step-by-step:

1. Turn on Redmi 9T Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone; Tap 7 times on MIUI Version; Enter the Mi Account password if necessary.

USB debugging

Settings → Additional → For Developers

Connect your phone to your PC and confirm your trust in your computer.

Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux/macOS) and type:

adb shell


pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.bugreport




pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.analytic

These teams are shutting down two key services:

• com.miui.bugreport – responsible for collecting crash reports
• com.miui.analytic is the analytics of the system.

⚠️ Note: Disabling these services may cause some system applications (such as Security or Topics) to stop updating through the Service. MIUI Updater. To get it all back, use the command:

pm enable com.miui.bugreport


pm enable com.miui.analytic

Method 3: Disable via the Settings Editor (without root)

For users who don’t want to use ADB, there’s an alternative, Activity Launcher (available on Google Play), which lets you open hidden MIUI menus, including error reporting settings.

Instructions:

1. Install Activity Launcher.
2. Open the application and enter BugReport in the search bar.
3. Select com.miui.bugreport.bugReportSettingsActivity.
4. In the menu that opens, turn off all sliders associated with: 📤 Sending reports; 🔍 Automatic diagnostics; 📊 Statistics collection.

This method is less radical than ADB, but may not work on newer versions of MIUI 14+, where the manufacturer has restricted access to hidden settings. If reports continue to be sent after the shutdown, check the activity of com.miui.analytic through Settings → Applications → All applications (sorting by System).

Method 4: Firewall lock (without root)

If error reports are sent despite all attempts to disable them, you can block the access of the corresponding applications to the Internet, any firewall application, such as NetGuard or NoRoot Firewall, will do this.

How to set up:

1. Install NetGuard.
2. Give the application the right to create VPN-Connection (necessary to intercept traffic).
3. In the list of applications, find: MIUI Crash Report (or Error Report); MIUI Analytics; System Tracer (in some firmware).

Wi-Fi

mobile

*Blocking may result in no notifications of overheating of the processor.

**Security Center traffic shutdown will disrupt antivirus and application verification.

💡

If after blocking traffic, some MIUI functions stopped working (for example, the weather on the lock screen), add the application com.miui.weather2 (Weather) to the firewall exceptions.

Method 5: Completely remove services (requires root)

For users with unlocked bootloaders and root rights, there is a radical method: removing the system applications responsible for reporting, which will solve the problem forever, but requires caution: improper actions can lead to a “brick” (inoperability) of the phone.

Instructions:

1. Install a root-enabled file manager, such as Root Explorer or FX File Explorer.
2. Go to /system/priv-app/.
3. Find and delete the following folders: BugReport Analytics SystemTracer (optional)

Reboot the phone.

⚠️ Warning: Before deleting, back up folders! in some firmware, deleting SystemTracer may result in:

• No notifications about the high temperature of the processor;
• Incorrect operation of the Game Turbo function;
• Update issues with MIUI Updater.

If the phone stops booting after deleting, restore deleted files via TWRP or reflash MIUI.

💡

Deleting system applications is a last resort, and in 90% of cases, it is enough to disable them through an ADB or firewall to stop sending reports without risk to the system.

What happens if you turn off error reports?

Many users fear that disabling the diagnostics will lead to unstable operation of the smartphone. In practice, this is not the case - the Redmi 9T will function normally, but with a few nuances:

The only real downside is that you will not be able to participate in the MIUI beta program, as it requires active reporting, and in rare cases (less than 1%) after the diagnosis is turned off, you may stop working:

• 🔄 Automatic Memory Optimization (RAM Boost);
• 📊 Battery usage statistics in the Battery section;
• 🛡️ Some security features (e.g., checking malicious files).

If you notice performance deterioration after disabling reports, try to return settings back or use alternative optimization methods (for example, turn off animations in the developer settings).
