Earthquake early-warning is a technology that uses the difference in the propagation speed of seismic waves to issue an early warning before the arrival of seismic waves. At present, almost all domestic mobile phone brands provide earthquake early warning functions, such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, OPPO and so on.

However, some netizens found that the earthquake warning function of Xiaomi phones is turned off by default and needs to be turned on manually by the user. This has aroused the doubts of some netizens, why is such an important life-saving function not enabled by default?

In this regard, Redmi phone marketing manager Zhang Yu responded on Weibo that the scene and form of the earthquake warning itself is quite special, and it is enabled by default before the user is fully aware of the function. When the earthquake comes, it is likely to cause user panic and cause extra Personal safety accidents, so after the function is turned on, it is necessary to watch the demonstration of the reminder to avoid unnecessary panic.

Zhang Yu also said that since some cities do not support the earthquake early warning function, his current method is to find other nearby cities to enable it in case of emergency.

In addition, if you want the earthquake warning function of the phone to trigger the reminder normally, there are two details that need to be paid attention to. First, the phone must remain connected to the Internet. This is the bottom line. Second, when activated, the system ignores the volume status and screen brightness status of the phone. , by default, the sound will be full and the brightness of the phone will be full, even if you are Do Not Disturb.

Zhang Yu also introduced the method of enabling the earthquake warning function of Xiaomi devices, which is attached below:

 Turn on the speaker: Xiaoai Speaker App → More → Earthquake Broadcast;

 Turn on the phone: Settings → Search MIUI Alert Center/Mobile Manager → Alert Center.

The abstract shows that the router in the earthquake area in this application can send the broadcast signal carrying earthquake information and wake-up information to the electronic device in the shutdown state by means of the external broadcast so that the electronic device in the shutdown state can output the earthquake information driven by the wake-up information, and thus the electronic device in the shutdown state can also play the role of earthquake information alert.

Xiaomi Mobile has already launched the earthquake alert function, which supports most of the 25 provinces (including municipalities and autonomous regions) in China. Users with the earthquake warning feature turned on will receive a strong alert when an earthquake occurs and will actually be affected by it.

An earthquake alert is not an earthquake prediction, but an emergency alert issued after an earthquake has occurred and before the arrival of the destructive seismic waves. This alert will tell everyone how long before the earthquake arrives, and the possible effects of the earthquake, thereby allowing us to have valuable time to avoid danger.

In addition, Xiaomi cell phones also have an online earthquake monitoring function, using the phone’s built-in low-power sensors to sense seismic waves, after which the AI algorithm will measure the earthquake information and send the first warning to the people in the affected areas.
