How to remove the display of Internet speed from the screen of the phone Xiaomi: all ways

Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones with MIUI firmware often display an annoying indicator of Internet speed — the download/return numbers in the top corner of the display. This feature is enabled by default in Game Turbo mode or when activating the Floating Window of the network, but not all users need it. The constantly flashing numbers are distracting during games, watching videos or reading, and some even complain about increased battery consumption due to active traffic monitoring.

In this article, we’ll look at 5 proven ways to remove internet speed from Xiaomi’s screen, from standard MIUI 14/15 settings to hidden engineering menu features. All methods work without root rights and do not require third-party apps to be installed (except for one exception), and you’ll learn why the indicator can reappear on its own after a reboot and how to prevent this.

1. Disconnect via "Game Turbo" (the fastest way)

In 80 percent of cases, the speed of the Internet on the screen is due to the activated Game Turbo mode, which automatically turns on network monitoring during games, but sometimes works in regular applications.

Open Settings → Special Opportunities → Game Turbo.
Go to Settings for Game Turbo (or Additional Settings in older versions of MIUI).
Find the option to Show Network Speed (or Floating Network Window) and deactivate the slider.
Restart the phone, the indicator should disappear.

If the network speed item is not on the menu, then the problem is elsewhere.

🔹 Settings → Screen. → Floating windows (for MIUI 14+)
🔹 Settings → Annexes → Permits → Floating windows
🔹 Security → Optimization → Game mode (on some models)

💡

If the network speed is still shown after the shutdown, try temporarily turning off the Game Turbo completely - sometimes the MIUI bug does not save the settings.

2.Resetting floating windows through "Safety"

On Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI 13-15, the speed indicator can be linked to the system process com.miui.floatingwindow.

Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Show all processes.
Find the list of Floating Window or Network Monitor.
Open the process settings and click Stop, then Disable (if available).

If the process is not on the list, try an alternative path:

Go to Settings → Security → Optimization → Floating Windows.
Turn off all unnecessary items, especially the Network Monitor or Game Notifications.

What should I do if the process reappears?

If com.miui.floatingwindow starts automatically after a stop, it means that another application (most often Mi Video or Game Turbo) will activate it, in which case only completely disabling the game mode or resetting the floating window settings via ADB (described below).

The hidden engineering menu allows you to disable system indicators, including network speed, which works on most Xiaomi models, but requires caution – do not change other parameters!

Instructions:

Open the Phone app and enter the combination: ##4636##.
In the menu that appears, select Phone Information (or Usage Statistics).
Scroll down to the UI or Network Settings section.
Find the option Show network speed (or Display net speed) and uncheck the box.
Save the changes and restart the device.

✅ Make a backup copy of the data

✅ Remember the current network settings

✅ Do not change other parameters (risk of failure!)

✅ Reboot your phone after the changes

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI 15 engineering menus can be blocked. If nothing happens after you enter the code, the manufacturer has disabled this method for your model. ADB (4).

4. Disconnection via ADB (for power users)

If standard methods don’t work, you can turn off the network speed indicator via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which requires connecting the phone to your computer, but is guaranteed to work on any version of MIUI.

Step-by-step:

Download and install ADB Tools on PC.
Activate Developer Mode on your phone (7 times click on the MIUI version in Settings → About Phone).
Enable USB debugging in Settings → Additional → For developers.
Connect your phone to your computer and type in the command line: adb shell settings put global network_speed_visible 0
Reset the device.

To return the speed display back, use the command:

adb shell settings put global network_speed_visible 1

Xiaomi model	ADB support	Alternative team
Redmi Note 12/13	Yes.	adb shell settings put secure sysui_network_speed_visible 0
POCO F5/X5	Yes.	adb shell am broadcast -a miui.intent.action.NET_SPEED_HIDE
Xiaomi 13/14	Yes (OEM unlock required)	adb shell cmd overlay enable-disable com.android.systemui/network_speed_off
Older models (MIUI 12)	Partially.	adb shell pm disable-user com.miui.netassistant

5. Reset network settings (last resort)

If the speed indicator appears due to a failure in system settings, a complete reset of network parameters will help, this method removes all stored Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices and VPN, but eliminates software bugs.

How to reset:

Open the Settings. → SIM-maps and mobile networks.
Select Network Settings Reset (or Wi-Fi, Mobile Network, and Bluetooth Reset).
Confirm the action and wait for the reboot.

⚠️ Note: After the reset, you will have to reset:

📶 Connect to all Wi-Fi networks (including hidden ones)
🔄 Set up APN mobile-internet
🎧 Connect Bluetooth devices (headphones, watches)

If the problem was a system failure, the speed indicator will disappear, and if it isn't, it's just a firmware rollback or a service center.

💡

Network reset is a nuclear option, and only use it if other methods have failed, as the procedure erases all network settings without the possibility of recovery.

Why is the Internet speed coming back?

Many users complain that the speed indicator returns after:

🔄 Phone reboots
📱 Updates MIUI
🎮 The launch of certain games (Genshin Impact, PUBG, Call of Duty)
🔧 Resetting to factory settings

The reasons for this behaviour are:

Game Turbo Auto Update – The app can independently enable network monitoring after the update.
Resetting floating window resolution – Some system processes restore rights after a reboot.
Firmware error: The bug is present in MIUI 14.0.3–14.0.6 and partially corrected in 14.0.8+.

Decisions:

🔧 Turn off Game Turbo Auto Update in Settings → Annexes → Game Turbo → Auto-update.
📵 Freeze the process of com.miui.gameturbo ADB Greenify (root rights required).
🔄 Update your firmware to the latest stable version (check out Xiaomi’s official website).

FAQ: Frequent questions

Yes, all of the methods described in this article (except freezing processes) work without root, and the most reliable methods are to turn off via Game Turbo or ADB.

Why did the MIUI update reappear?

Updates often reset custom floating window settings. After the update, check: Settings → Special Features → Game Turbo Settings → Apps → Floating Windows If the indicator is back, repeat the shutdown via ADB (mode 4).

Are there any applications to hide network speed?

Yes, but they require overlay permission (e.g. Network Speed Meter or NetSpeed Indicator) but these programs can create floating windows themselves, so it's better to use system settings. ⚠️ Note: Some Google Play apps contain malicious code. Check reviews and permissions before installing!

How to reduce the speed of the Internet on the POCO F6 Pro?

Nana POCO F6 Pro (and other new models) indicator is controlled via HyperOS. → Screen. → Floating windows → Network monitor (disable) If there is no item - use ADB Adb shell settings put global network_speed_visible_hyperos 0

Can the speed indicator affect performance?

Yes, but not much. Constant traffic monitoring is consuming. ~1–3% battery charge per hour and takes up part of RAM. on weak smartphones (e.g. Redmi) 9A) This can lead to micro-slowdowns in games.
