Has had for a while now. Can’t be turned off too
Music app started to have ads this week for me. Or maybe I only noticed them now since I use Deezer
Maybe it’s because your xiaomi phone (MIUI) contain built-in ads (msa)? I used Blokada, now i’m using nextdns, no ads found
Private DNS – – – – – >> adgurd dns
No ads
Use blockada 🙂 You Can block both adds and analytics
https://blokada.org/
I also hate the fact that mi is putting adds everywhere where they can…
Haha, as a matter of Matt I DO! See the VPN icon? For some reason though, it didn’t catch this even though I have a ton of filters, including a Xiaomi Ad and Tracking one!
Have you try energized blocklists?
https://energized.pro/#about
Try the ultimate one! 😁
I’ve used Energized before with Magisk. I’ll give this a try 🙂
WTF?! Indeed!
Users base should report and criticize this..
Take my upvote in the meantime..
Yep! I’m waiting for the day a relatively stable Android 10 ROM comes out for the Redmi Note 8. I’ll be the first person to install it!
It’s always been like that
I’ve debloated it, so no MSA. These ads are from the app, and they’re undetected even by Blokada!
There are no ads if i u buy there global phone though right?
This is why i have a MI A3 🙃
I use Blokada!
App version 4.0.15 or higher?
Well, I don’t know how I feel about these ads, but if I used the native apps daily I would probably be pissed since apparently there is no way to disable it
The latest version of mi fit
This is Mi Fit’s ads, regardless of your phone.
Still unclear, like your phone either. Anyway on google play says app contain ads, so you have to find your best workaround
I dont have ads, maybe bc i have Energized Protection module.
Can you tell how? I just recently started seeing the ads, so I thought it didn’t have any
Things like these are why I only purchase phones with an unlockable bootloader. I’ll be slapping some GSI ROM on my Redmi 8 this Sunday, hopefully
And this isn’t even their own ad.
It has had them for a while on my mifit
Well, using that the point of ads?
I really want the gestures! Plus, the Pie ROMs aren’t really stable yet, as the Note 8 is kinda new and doesn’t really have as much developed support as the 4x or the Note 7. I have a 4x myself lol, and it’s development is amazing. I used it to try out Android 10! It was love at first sight 😉
🙄
What do you mean by _unclear_?
If it helps, I’m using a Redmi Note 8. And btw I’m not the only one who’s seeing ads :p
Yep. It’s horrible
🙂
Yep! That’s why I skipped the compelling Note 8 “Pro”. I’ve gotta struggle with MIUI, until there’s a decent stable custom rom for me tho. Look at my flair lol 🙂
I would expect them to show their own products. Not scams (likely) like this.
🤔
Adguard also works! I used it while I had root and I still use it on my new unrooted phone and I can say, with all my heart, it blocks many, MANY ads…
Of course, got it cracked…
Well, Xiaomi apps are considered third party so they legally can have ads. You can use other third party apps tho, but Xiaomi doesn’t let you uninstall the stock apps, and now that is indeed ilegal. But they claim the app is a Launcher feature, but still, if you download another launcher the apps remain, and that again, is illegal
ads = lower price for the phones.
which xiaomi add doesnt?
What phone are you using ?
I wonder if the internet still has ads? But yeah once in a blue moon an ad manages to sneak its way through.
A moment of silence for all the people out there who have to deal with this every day.
Use notify & fitness pro, its way better
Probably coming from the same DNS it calls for data analysis.
You have won a free trial of FatFighters Weight Loss ™.
Did you change your region to India so you could set a different theme? Dont forget to change it back after setting your theme otherwise you get ads.
Doesn’t surprise me
How do you expect to have xiaomi products so cheap comparing to its quality?
It used to not have, but now for some time… yep:/
its the app….it can have ads……at least the mi fit bracelet isnt lol
Oh I’m sorry, I read “can be turned off” my bad
> What do you mean by _unclear_?
Not the guy you’re to replying to but they asked for a specific version and you said the latest. But latest could be a a few different versions due to different regions, staged rollouts android version etc so your answer doesn’t really clear it up if you get me ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Exactly. Maybe he don’t know how to check?… I have debloated Pocophone, but i don’t see any ads, even with inactive Blokada
Uninstalling all the bloatware was the first thing I did 😀
I can’t seem to find me fit or the app vault for that matter… XD so I dunno about the adds.
Time to get a Pi-hole
I will not go back to anything MIUI. It’s worse than Touchwiz. I am really loving EvolutionX. It’s close to vanilla but with a lot more customization.
You have a very valid point.
Now? They had a very long time
Yep. But hey, at least they are not like Amazon and prevent you from unlocking the bootloader. I purchased a Moto G5 Plus Amazon version and quickly regretted it.
I debloated my alright. My bootloader was unlocked as soon they let me. Bye MIUI!!!
Mine (Note 7) has had adds for some time now, apparently can’t get rid of them. On all of their apps (music, mi fit, etc). Really annoying sneaky little fuckers.
I wouldn’t matter. Users have been complaining for months about voice detection not working for Google Assistant for months and they still have fixed that. I am sure they are definitely not going to remove ads.
Xiaomi do good quality products and recover their money by monetizing everything. That’s why even their TV have ads between changing channels and all the smartphones have recommendations all the place.
You might call this an ad, but really this is an opportunity. 6 FREE math tuition classes sounds awesome! I’m sure your kids would love it.
try using amazfit, both apps are 1:1 of each other, I jumped ship when my Mi Fit for some reason wouldnt use GPS when doing tracked workout activities (running-cycling).
_Laughs in Gadgetbridge_
I have a “MIUI Tracking” blocker enabled in Blokada
Obviously, this is how they get back money. But they didn’t tell us anything, and worse they harvest our personal data and sell that unless you _dig_ into settings to turn that off.
This applies to both, Mi Fit and MIUI!
I’m using 4.0.15 🙂
I’m using a Redmi Note 8, if it matters.
Lol! I’m sure if the screen gets big enough, they’ll manage to fit an ad in there too :p
I debloated too!
I have a Pi lying around, and thought about it but se websites don’t work unless you disable your ad blocker. I’ll have to whitelist it manually, which gets irritating!
Change your region to EU
Lol
MiFit, no ads here. Mi9T
That’s what I always had. Same thing.
if you go into mi fit settings (profile >settings > advertising settings) you can decline ads. i havent gotten an ad so far.
No, you cannot. You can only turn off _personalized ads_ , which is basically personal data harvesting. You’ll still get random ads
right thats why ill never get a huawei and if xiaomi does lock the bootloader i swith to other brand.
Not just that..Even the app vault contains ads
Muimix ROM would have you covered

Xiaomi has very less commercial advertisement comparing to other brands. That itself reduces costs a lot. And they have poor after sale service compared to many other brands. They lack in many things. Quality of the phone is good but not something exceptional. Nowadays their phones are not as cheap as their starting years.
Even if they increase the price a little it’s not problem if the users get an ad free phone. They surely make a lot using advertisement and tracking services, that’s why they keep price low and continue this method than increasing the cost of device which just gives them a one time profit. Ad services makes them money continuosly.
Global phone has ads. It just hides depends on region.
Mi fit doesn’t shown ads because of lower price of phone. I paid for mi band and honestly at the same price there are other brands that offer without ads. Phone’s price has nothing to do with mi fit app.
I don’t know how some people support these ad scenario. Fanboyism at a different level. Phone price has nothing to do with ads in mi fit. I paid for mi band and i don’t want ad in my smart band app. There are other brands that offer bands in same price range with no ads atleast till now. Many people are supporting ads in phone saying they have to get profit. They are getting more profit through ads than selling the phone at a slightly higher price. With these kind of people existing every other brands will start implementing ads in phones and all services they offer. Even realme who mocked Xiaomi is starting to show ads on their ui.
Iconic Xiaomi
I have a MiTV4, from China. No ads at all. All you need to do is set the menu to English…
Nope, Pi-hole doesn’t work like that. It redirects ad calls to a different IP in the PiHole Pi (something like that). So it’s not blocking ads, it’s just not letting them call home to generate an ad for you as part of page loading, so sites have no idea you’re doing it. The ad unit just thinks it couldn’t make a connection, or it thinks there was no ad for you.
My offer to you:

I think that you are confused. Huawei started like this, good phones, cheap prices and then their prices start getting higher and higher.
Regarding Xiaomi, it is still cheap. Compare the flagship with others brands and you wont find better price or.better specs for the same price. It is worthy but of course, there’s a catch.
I’m a Xiaomi user btw
Yep. I check every single permission of every single app in my phone and wen searching for all the recommendation options. My phone is ads free but I had to work for it
Xiaomi flagship misses many things from other brands, yeah it is cheaper. We can’t actually compare the flasghip of Xiaomi with other brands. There are many things a Xiaomi phone misses compared to flagship from tier one brands. They are reducing certain things to keep the cost low.

i agree….
O lala! Looks like my weekend is occupied 🙂
Yup. Also my gallery cries for internet connection,even the calculator…
I’m longing for clean Android.
I’m not from China, my phone is a global version, and Xiaomi is registered in my country
I have 9 Xiaomi phones plus the Mi Pad 2 & 4 and have NEVER experienced ads in any apps or anywhere throughout the system.
I’ve used Global versions, Chinese versions and Chinese versions with Global roms all with no ads.
I always highly recommend unlocking the bootloader and installing the Xiaomi.eu rom just due to lack of bloat, a smoother experience and things being more consistent across apps but just out of curiosity,has anyone checked their settings in the Mi fit app to see if advertising settings is on?
Just something to look in to and see if ads are still showing in spite of the setting being off.

Move to GFit
But is the request coming from a DNS within the “MIUI Tracking” DNS list?
