How to turn off the error report on Xiaomi: 5 proven methods

Pop-ups prompting Xiaomi devices to submit an error report can annoy even the most patient users. These notifications appear when applications crash, system errors, or after an incorrect MIUI update. While the feature is useful for developers, it often interferes with the comfortable use of a smartphone or TV. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to disable error reports, from standard settings to hidden developer settings.

It is important to understand that the process may differ from Xiaomi device to device (smartphones, tablets, TVs) and MIUI/Android TV versions. We will look at the universal methods that work on most models, and also point out the features for specific lines. If you are tired of annoying notifications "Com.android.system app has stopped" or "Send a report to Xiaomi", this guide will help get rid of them forever.

Why Xiaomi is constantly asking for an error report

Xiaomi’s MIUI and Android TV error reporting system performs two key functions:

• 🔧 Failure Diagnostics – Collecting logs to analyze the causes of application or system component crashes.
• 📊 Improved software – data helps developers optimize firmware for specific models.
• 🛡️ Security – some errors may indicate hacking attempts or software incompatibility.

However, overactivity of this function is often associated with:

• 📱 Unstable firmware, especially in beta versions MIUI or after unsuccessful updates.
• 🗑️ Application conflicts – when third-party software is not properly integrated into the system.
• 🔄 Cache errors – clogged Dalvik cache or ART may cause disruption.
• 🔧 Modified software – root rights, custom firmware or remote system applications.

If reports appear too often, it is a signal of deeper problems. On root-right devices, disabling reports can make it impossible to diagnose critical crashes through standard MIUI tools. In most cases, it is enough to clear the cache of the problematic application or reset the settings, but if errors persist, you will have to turn off the reporting function itself.

Method 1: Disconnect via standard MIUI settings

The easiest method is to use the built-in system options, which is suitable for most Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones based on MIUI 12-14:

1. Open the Settings. → The phone.
2. Tap 5-7 times on the MIUI version to activate Developer Mode (you will be notified "You became a developer").
3. Return to the main Settings menu → Additionally. → For developers.
4. Scroll down and find the Debugging section.
5. Turn off the Sending Error Reports (or Automatic Error Reporting in English).

For example, in MIUI 14 for the global version, the option is sometimes hidden in:

Settings → Applications → Application Management → Three dots (menu) → Special Access → Error Reports

If the item is not in the developer menu, try an alternative way:

• 📱 Go to Settings. → Notifications and status bar → Management of notifications.
• 🔍 Find the list of System Notifications or MIUI Daemon.
• 🔕 Turn off notifications for this component.

Check the version of MIUI (Settings → About the phone)

Method 2: Disconnect via ADB (for power users)

If standard settings don’t work, you can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a method that requires connecting the device to a PC and basic command line knowledge, and the advantage is that it works even on locked downloaders without root rights.

Instructions:

1. Download and install ADB Tools on your computer.
2. Activate USB Debugging on your smartphone (Settings → Developers → USB Debugging).
3. Connect the device to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
4. Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux) in the folder with adb.exe.
5. Enter the command to check the connection: Adb devices should appear the name of your device.
6. Execute the command to disable reports: adb shell settings put global bugreport_in_power_menu 0 adb shell settings put global send_action_app_error 0

For Mi TVs with Android TV, use similar commands, but taking into account the features of the firmware:

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

⚠️ Note: Some Xiaomi models (e.g. Redmi Note 10 Pro) POCO F3) after-out ADB The reports can be activated again after the reboot, in which case you will need to re-execute commands or use the root-access method.

Method 3: Using root rights to completely disable

If your device unlocks the bootloader and you have Magisk or another root rights manager installed, you can completely remove the system component responsible for reports, which is the most radical and irreversible method without flashing.

Step-by-step:

1. Install a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer).
2. Go to /system/priv-app/MiuiBugReport or (for newer versions of MIUI): /system/app/BugReport
3. Remove or rename the folder (for example, in the BugReport_bak).
4. Reset the device.

For Mi TVs, the path may be different:

/system/priv-app/TVBugReport

Alternatively, you can freeze the app via Titanium Backup or App Quarantine.

• 🔍 Find in the list of applications com.miui.bugreport or com.xiaomi.bugreport.
• ❄️ Select the option to “freeze).
• 🔄 Reset the device.

⚠️ Note: Removing system components without a backup can result in bootloop ( looped on) or loss of functionality.On some Xiaomi models (such as the Mi 11 Ultra), this can also reset Widevine certificates L1, What will make streaming on Netflix and Disney worse?+.

Method 4: Disable crash notifications via AppOps

Android has a hidden app permission management system called AppOps, which can block the sending of reports without root rights, but you will need access to the engineering menu.

Instructions:

1. Install AppOps (e.g. AppOps by Rikka).
2. Run it and give access to Special Permits (a pop-up will redirect you to settings).
3. Find MIUI BugReport or System UI.
4. Turn off permissions: 📤 SEND_SMS (shipment SMS) 🌐 INTERNET (internet) 📁 WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (memory-card)

For Mi TVs, TV AppOps can be used instead of AppOps. ADB-team:

adb shell appops set com.miui.bugreport android:send_sms deny


adb shell appops set com.miui.bugreport android:network deny

This method does not remove the report function completely, but it blocks it from working at the permission level. MIUI settings may reset.

💡

If the device starts to brake after disabling reports, try clearing the system cache via Recovery Mode. To do this, press Power + Volume Up when you turn on, select Wipe Cache and restart.

Method 5: Resetting settings to factory (extreme case)

If error reports are due to deep system failures (for example, after a failed update or custom firmware installation), a complete device reset can help.This method will delete all data, so use it only if other methods have not worked.

How to reset your settings:

1. Make a backup copy of important data (photos, contacts, messages).
2. Go to Settings → About the phone → Reset settings.
3. Select Delete all data (reset to factory data).
4. Confirm the action and wait for the reboot.

If you use custom firmware (like LineageOS or Pixel Experience), error reports can be managed through the firmware settings themselves.

💡

On HyperOS (2026+) devices, disabling error reports may require the additional step of deactivating Mi Cloud Sync in your account settings, without which the system will restore settings after synchronization.
