How to permanently disable messages on networks on Xiaomi: 5 working ways

Labels like “No Internet connection” or “New Wi-Fi network available” can appear on Xiaomi’s screen dozens of times a day — especially if you often move between your office, home, and public spaces. These notifications aren’t just annoying: they reset music on headphones, interrupt games, and even lock the screen for a few seconds until it disappears. Fortunately, MIUI has hidden settings that allow you to get rid of them — but they’re hidden so deep that most users simply don’t know they exist.

In this article, we’ll look at all the current ways to disable network notifications on Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco smartphones, from simple (through standard settings) to radical (using ADB). We’ll focus on the nuances for different versions of MIUI (12, 13, 14) and explain why some methods stop working after updates. If you’re tired of the constant pop-ups about mobile Internet, Wi-Fi or roaming, read on.

Why Xiaomi is showing messages more than other smartphones

It's about MIUI's aggressive "care" policy, and unlike Android in its pure form, Xiaomi's firmware is actively monitoring the network and trying to offer alternative connectivity options, such as:

• 📶 Loss of mobile network signal → A notification pops up with a suggestion to turn on the aircraft mode or reconnect.
• 🌐 The emergence of a new Wi-Fi network → The system offers to connect even if you are already on another network.
• 🔄 Switching between 4G/5G → Notification of the change of connection type (especially annoying on Redmi Note) 12 newer).
• ⚠️ Roaming warnings → They are also available when connecting to home Wi-Fi abroad.

In MIUI 14, the situation was exacerbated by the Smart Network Diagnostics feature, which scans the environment and offers “optimal” settings, which is enabled by default on all devices released after 2022. Unfortunately, you can’t turn it off through normal settings – you will need one of the methods described below.

⚠️ Note: Some models (e.g. Xiaomi) 13T POCO F5) When you turn off network notifications, you can lose the signal strength indicator in the status bar. MIUI. To return the indicator, restart the phone.

Method 1: Disconnect via Network Settings (for MIUI 12–14)

The simplest method that works on most root-free devices is to disable notifications about:

• 📱 Loss of mobile Internet;
• 🔄 Automatic switching between 2G/3G/4G/5G;
• 🌍 Roaming (including false positives).

Instructions:

1. Open the Settings. → SIM-maps and mobile networks.
2. Choose yours. SIM-card (if there are several).
3. Go to Network Notifications (or Network Settings → Further on older versions).
4. Turn off sliders: Show notifications about the state of the network; Warn about roaming; Automatic network switching (if any).

Save the changes and restart the phone.

This method does not disable notifications for new Wi-Fi networks, but requires a separate method (see Wi-Fi section). Also, on some firmware (MIUI 13 Global), menu items may be called differently. If you don't find Network Notifications, try:

Settings → Memory and SIM- Cards → [Your SIM] → Advanced settings → Notifications

Method 2: Disable Wi-Fi notifications (including hidden networks)

Messages like “New Wi-Fi Network Available” or “Weak Wi-Fi Signal” are regulated separately from the mobile network, and in MIUI 14 they can be disabled in two ways:

Method A: Through Wi-Fi settings

1. Go to Settings. → Wi-Fi.
2. Press three points (⋮) in the upper right corner and select Additional Features.
3. Disable: Notify new networks; Automatic connection to open networks; Notify of weak signal (if any).

Method B: Through “Special Permits” (for hidden notifications)

Some Wi-Fi notifications don't come from the system, but from com.android.wifitrackerlib.

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Press three points (⋮) Select Show System Processes.
3. Find the Wi-Fi Tracker Library (or com.android.wifitrackerlib).
4. Select Notifications and turn off all sliders.

Instructions:

1. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
2. Open the command line (cmd) and enter:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.wifitrackerlib


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

1. Reboot the phone.

These commands are off:

⚠️ Attention: After update MIUI These settings can reset. To get them back, repeat the commands. ADB Or use automation.

Method 4: Do Not Disturb for Network Notifications

If you don’t want to turn off notifications completely, but you want them to keep music or game playback from interrupting, use Do Not Disturb with Exceptions.

• 🎵 Musical Apps (Spotify, YouTube Music);
• 🎮 Games (Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile);
• 📺 Watching the full screen video.

How to set up:

1. Open Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb.
2. Select the Rules → Add a rule.
3. Specify condition: When you start the application and select the desired one (for example, Spotify).
4. In the rule settings, turn off Network Notifications (or select Only Important Notifications).
5. Keep the rule.

Now, when you run your chosen application, the network notifications won't pop up on the screen, but they'll stay in the curtain. This method doesn't require ADB and works on all versions of MIUI.

Method 5: Disable via the Settings Editor (requires root)

If you have root rights, you can permanently delete system notifications about the network by editing configuration files, which is irreversible, and once you do, notifications won't come back even after you reset.

Instructions:

1. Install a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer).
2. Follow the path:

/system/priv-app/MiuiSystemUI/MiuiSystemUI.apk/res/values/

1. Find the bools.xml file and open it in the text editor.
2. Add or change the following lines:

<bool name="config_showNetworkToast">false</bool>


<bool name="config_showWifiToast">false</bool>




<bool name="config_showRoamingToast">false</bool>

1. Save the file, set the rights 644 (rw-r--r---).
2. Reboot the phone.

This method will remove all network pop-up notifications, including:

• 📶 Reports of the loss of mobile Internet;
• 🔄 Warnings for switching between 4G/5G;
• 🌐 Pop-ups about new Wi-Fi networks;
• ⚠️ Roaming notifications.

⚠️ Warning: Incorrect editing of system files can lead to bootloop ( looped reboot). bools.xml Have custom recovery on hand (TWRP) repair.

Method 6: Automation of shutdown (Tasker, Macrodroid)

If you don't want to keep re-setting after updates, you can automate the process with apps like Tasker or Macrodroid, for example, you can create a rule that will:

• 🔄 Disable network notifications when connecting to home Wi-Fi;
• 📵 Enable Do Not Disturb for Network Notifications in Games;
• 🔄 Return settings after rebooting.

Example of macros for Macrodroid:

1. Create a new macro.
2. Specify trigger: Device loaded.
3. Add Actions: Execute the Command ADB → pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.netassistant; Delay → 10 seconds; execute the command ADB → pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.wifitrackerlib.

Save the macro.

Now, after each reboot, notifications will be turned off automatically, a method that is particularly useful for MIUI 14, where settings are often reset after updates.

💡

Automating via Tasker or Macrodroid is the only way to permanently get rid of network notifications if you update your firmware frequently.

What to do if nothing helps

If you’ve tried all the ways but network notifications keep popping up, check out:

1. MIUI Updates: In some versions (e.g. MIUI 13.0.6 for Redmi Note 11), network notifications come from com.miui.securitycenter. Try disabling notifications for Security in application settings.
2. Third-party applications: Programs like DualSpace, Second Space, or Game Turbo can duplicate network notifications. Turn them off temporarily and check the result.
3. Regional firmware: On China ROM devices, network notifications can be hardwired into the system, so the solution is to reflash the phone to the Global or EEA version.
4. Hardware problems: If network loss notifications appear too often (once every few minutes), it may be faulty SIM-map or communication module. Check the phone from another SIM-card.

If the problem persists, there are two radical options:

1. Reverse to an older version of MIUI (e.g. 14 to 13) where notifications are less intrusive.
2. Install custom firmware (such as LineageOS or Pixel Experience) that does not have system notifications from Xiaomi.
