How to completely remove the application “Report” on Xiaomi: from disconnection to removal

Why the Report app is bothering Xiaomi users and whether it can be safely removed

The Report app (com.miui.analytics) is a standard MIUI firmware component that collects device usage data to improve user experience. However, many Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO smartphone owners find it draining battery power, overloading the processor, or simply appearing on the active process list for no apparent reason, especially on low-end models like the Redmi 9A or POCO M3, where every percentage of performance counts.

In this article, we will look at all possible ways to remove or disable the Report application, from simple root-free methods to radical solutions using ADB and custom firmware. It is important to understand that completely removing system software can lead to unstable MIUI operation, so we will also explain how to minimize risks and what to do if after manipulation the smartphone began to “glut”.

If you are not sure of your technical skills, start with mild techniques (disabling through settings or activity restriction). For advanced users, ADB or Magisk methods are suitable - they give maximum control, but require caution.

Method 1: Disable the Report application through MIUI settings (without root)

The safest method is to suspend the application through standard settings, which will not remove it completely, but will prevent background activity and resource consumption, suitable for all versions of MIUI 12-15.

Instructions:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → Annexes → Application management.
• 🔍 In the search bar, enter “Report” (or Analytics in English firmware).
• ⚙️ Click on the app, then select Disable (or Suspend in new versions).
• ✅ Confirm the action in the dialog window.

Once disabled, the application will stop running automatically, but its files will remain in the system, which does not require superuser rights and is reversible: if necessary, you can activate the Report again through the same settings.

Make a backup copy of important data

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

Battery charge of at least 30%

Turn it off. VPN (may interfere with access to settings)-->

⚠️ Note: On some firmware (for example, MIUI Global) the option to disable can be blocked. In this case, try the method with ADB or install EU-Firmware where the restrictions are softer.

Method 2: Restricting activity through “Special Permits”

If you can't disable the application, you can block access to key functions like the Internet, auto-start and notifications, which will reduce the load on the system without removing the software itself.

How to limit the Report:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management → Report.
2. Select Permissions and turn off all switches (especially Storage, Phone, Microphone).
3. Go back and press the Battery → Limit background activity.
4. In the AutoRun section, turn off the automatic start of the application.

This method does not require root and works on all Xiaomi devices, including the Redmi Note 12 and POCO F5. However, note that the application will still take up space in memory (about 10-15 MB).

Method 3: Delete the Report via ADB (without root but with PC)

If standard methods don’t work, you can uninstall the app using Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which doesn’t require root rights, but requires connecting the smartphone to your computer and enabling debugging mode.

Step-by-step:

1. Download and install ADB Tools on PC.
2. On your smartphone, activate Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (click 7 times to turn on Developer Mode).
3. Return to Settings → Additional → For developers and enable USB debugging.
4. Connect the phone to the PC, open the command line (cmd) and type:

adb devices

(Your device should appear. If not, install Xiaomi USB Drivers.)

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.analytics

Once the command is executed, the Report application will be removed for the current user (not completely off the system), which works on MIUI 13-15 and does not require unlocking the bootloader.

⚠️ Note: On some firmware (for example, MIUI China team may be able to return the Failure error [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]. In this case, try the alternative command: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.analytics It will not delete the application, but will block its operation.

💡

If after deleting via ADB, the smartphone started to slow down, follow the command adb shell pm clear com.miui.analytics to reset its data without completely deleting it.

Method 4: Complete removal with root rights (Magisk/TWRP)

Root rights are required to completely remove the system application, a method that is suitable for advanced users, as improper actions can lead to MIUI inoperability.

What you'll need:

• 📱 Smartphone with unlocked bootloader and installed Magisk or TWRP.
• 💻 Root Explorer program, for example, FX File Explorer or Solid Explorer).
• 🔄 Backup of the system (required!).

Instructions:

1. Open Root Explorer and go to the folder /system/priv-app/Analytics (or /system/app/Analytics).
2. Delete the Analytics folder or rename it to Analytics.bak.
3. Reset the device.

An alternative way to use the Magisk "Universal System App Remover" module is to use the following:

• 🔧 Install the module with Magisk Manager.
• 📋 In the list of system applications, find com.miui.analytics.
• ✅ Mark it and press Uninstall.

⚠️ Warning: Removing system applications may disrupt the work MIUI Optimization (Xiaomi services for smooth interface) If after the reboot there are lags, restore deleted files from the backup or reflash the device.

Method 5: Alternative firmware (EU, Pixel Experience, LineageOS)

If you are critical to get rid of all Xiaomi data collectors, consider installing custom firmware.

• 🌍 MIUI EU — Official firmware without Chinese services and analytics.
• 📱 Pixel Experience – pure Android without unnecessary apps.
• 🔄 LineageOS - open firmware with a minimum set of software.

Advantages:

• ✅ No Report app and other system data collectors.
• ✅ More control over resolution and background activity.
• ✅ Ability to update without forced analytics.

Disadvantages:

• ❌ Requires unlocking the bootloader (resets all data!).
• ❌ Possible bugs with camera or sensors (depending on the model).
• ❌ Loss of warranty if the device is new).

For custom firmware installation, follow the instructions for your model on the XDA Developers or 4PDA forum, for example, Pixel Experience 13 is suitable for the Redmi Note 10 Pro, and LineageOS 20 is suitable for the POCO F3.

💡

Custom firmware is the only way to get rid of Xiaomi’s system analytics completely, but it’s only suitable for power users ready for possible bugs and loss of warranty.

What to do if after removing the “Report” smartphone began to glittle

In rare cases, removing or disabling system applications can cause MIUI to run in an unstable way.

• 🔄 Lags or hangs appear: clear the cache in Settings → Warehouse → Clear the cache.
• 📱 Gestures or navigation not working: reset the launcher settings (Settings) → Home. → Reset the settings).
• ⚡ Battery goes down quickly: check the activity of other system processes in Settings → Battery → Use of the.
• 🚨 Smartphone not turned on: boot into Fastboot and reflash the device through the Mi Flash Tool.

If the problem is serious (for example, bootloop – endless restart), use emergency recovery:

1. Press Power + Volume Down to enter Fastboot.
2. Connect your phone to your PC and execute the command:

fastboot flash system system.img

(Where system.img is the original firmware file for your model.)

Critical information: On devices with a locked bootloader (for example, the new Xiaomi 13 or Redmi K60), flashing through Fastboot may require authorization of your Mi Account, even if you disabled it.
