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

Pop-ups offering to send an error report to Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO can annoy even the most patient users. These notifications appear when applications crash, system errors or process incorrect completions — and often interfere with the comfortable use of the smartphone. Unlike normal alerts, they can not simply be swiped: the system stubbornly suggests sending data to developers, even if you have already refused.

Complicating the problem, the path to settings may be different in different versions of MIUI (12, 13, 14) and the new HyperOS. Moreover, after updating the firmware, settings are often reset and error reports begin to appear again. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways of disabling – from standard settings to hidden commands for power users, and explain why these windows even appear and whether they can be removed forever.

Why Xiaomi is showing error reports and can they be removed?

The Error Reporting system is built into Xiaomi’s firmware at the kernel level, and its primary task is to automatically detect failures in MIUI/HyperOS applications and components, and then send anonymous data to the company’s engineers.

• 🔍 Faster to find bugs in new versions of firmware
• 📊 Optimize the performance of popular applications (for example, Google Play Services or Mi Video)
• 🛠️ Resolve critical errors leading to device restart

However, in practice, most users are faced with excessive activity of this system: reports are offered to be sent even in case of minor failures (for example, if the application is loaded for a long time or suddenly closes). MIUI 13/14 Windows appear even in the absence of real errors - this is due to the aggressive policy of collecting telemetry.

Can we turn it off forever? Technically, yes, but with reservations:

• ✅ Standard means – only partially (windows will appear less often, but will not disappear completely)
• ✅ Through ADB Developer Options – almost entirely (but requires developer rights)
• ❌ Complete removal of the system component is impossible without root rights (will lead to unstable operation of the smartphone)

Method 1: Disconnect via standard MIUI/HyperOS settings

The simplest method that works on most Xiaomi, Redmi and other devices POCO (Including models from 2020 to 2026, suitable for users who do not want to delve into the technical settings. MIUI 12-14 and HyperOS:

1. Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the home screen).
2. Go to About Phone (or About Device in HyperOS).
3. Tap a few times on the MIUI version (or HyperOS version) until you become a developer!
4. Go back to the main Settings menu and find a new section Additional → For Developers (or Advanced Settings → Developer Settings in HyperOS).
5. Scroll down to the Debugging block and turn off the Sending Error Reports (or Automatic Error Reporting in English firmware) switch.

After that, the number of pop-ups should be reduced by 60-70%, but they will not disappear completely – the system will still record critical failures (for example, the fall of Google Play Services or MiuiSystemUI).

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

If the standard shutdown didn’t work, you can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a deep-tuning tool that requires connecting your smartphone to your computer, but allows you to disable error reports at the system application level.

Warning: Before starting, make sure that:

• 🔌 The phone's on debugging. USB (in Developer Settings)
• 💻 The computer has Xiaomi drivers installed and ADB Tools
• 📋 You have made a backup copy of the data (in case of failure)

Steps to shut down:

1. Connect your phone to your PC through USB-cable (preferably original).
2. Open the command prompt (cmd on Windows or Terminal on macOS/Linux) and type: adb devices Make sure your device appears in the list.
3. Use the command to disable error reports: adb shell settings put global bugreport_in_power_menu 0 adb shell settings put global send_action_app_error 0
4. Reboot your smartphone: adb reboot

After the reboot, check if the pop-ups have disappeared. If not, try the additional command:

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

⚠️ Note: Disabling the com.miui.bugreport system application may cause some features (e.g. Quick Settings or Notification Center) to work unstable. If you notice a failure, return the settings with the adb shell pm enable com.miui.bugreport command.

Method 3: Set up Mi Account (for HyperOS)

In the new HyperOS firmware (installed on Xiaomi 14, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ and other models from 2023-2026), some of the telemetry settings are transferred to the Mi Account, which means that even after disabling local parameters, data can continue to be collected through the cloud.

To completely prohibit the sending of reports:

1. Open Settings → Accounts and Sync → Mi Account.
2. Go to Account Management → Confidentiality.
3. Find the Diagnostics and Error Reports section and turn off all switches: 📊 Automatic reporting 🔄 Participation in HyperOS Improvement Program 📱 Collection of data on use

Save the changes and restart the device.

This method is particularly effective for HyperOS devices, where cloud telemetry plays a key role, but note that some features (such as Cloud Backup or Device Search) may not work properly.

Method 4: Remove via Titanium Backup (requires Root)

For root-right users (Magisk or SuperSU), there is a radical method of removing the system application responsible for reporting completely, which is guaranteed to remove all pop-ups, but with consequences:

• ⚠️ Mi Cloud and other Xiaomi services
• ⚠️ Impossibility to obtain OTA-update
• ⚠️ Risk of "brike" in case of incorrect removal

If you are prepared for risk, follow the instructions:

1. Install Titanium Backup from XDA Developers (requires root).
2. Launch the application and grant the rights of the superuser.
3. Find system applications (Systems → Show everything) in the list.
4. Select com.miui.bugreport (or ErrorReportService in HyperOS).
5. Click Delete! and confirm the action.
6. Reset the device.

⚠️ Note: Before removing, create a full backup system through TWRP Or OrangeFox Recovery. If after removing com.miui.bugreport, the smartphone stops booting, restore the backup or reflash the device via Fastboot.

Method 5: Alternative method for older models (MIUI 10–11)

If you have a device running MIUI 10 or MIUI 11 (e.g. Redmi Note 8 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 9), standard methods may not work due to outdated firmware architecture.

1. Install Activity Launcher from Google Play.
2. Open the application and find in the Settings list.
3. Tap on.BugReportActivity (or.ErrorReportSettings).
4. In the menu that opens, disable all options related to reports: 📵 Automatic shipping 📵 Extended data collection 📵 Participation in beta testing

This method works because in older versions of MIUI, error reporting settings were moved to a separate hidden menu that is not available through the standard interface.
