How to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi Redmi Note: all ways

The alarm clock on Xiaomi Redmi Note smartphones sometimes turns into a real torture: instead of a single signal, you get an endless repeat every 5-10 minutes. This is especially annoying in the morning when the phone does not stop until you finally turn it off. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off the alarm clock repeat — from standard MIUI settings to hidden parameters that even experienced users do not know about.

The problem is relevant for all models of the Redmi Note series, from the old Redmi Note 7/8 to the new Redmi Note 12 Pro+. The reasons may be different: a failure in the Watch app, an error after the MIUI update, or just someone accidentally turned on a replay during the setup. We will look at solutions for all versions of the firmware (including MIUI 14 based on Android 13) and give recommendations on how to avoid similar situations in the future.

Why the alarm clock repeats: the main reasons

Before you turn off the replay, it's important to understand why it happens at all, and 90 percent of the time, it's the default settings or the bugs in the Clock system app, and here are the most common reasons:

• 🔄 Repeat the alarm clock in settings (default interval - 10 minutes).
• 📱 Failure after update MIUI, When the user settings are reset.
• ⏰ Using third-party apps (such as Google Clock or Sleep as Android) that conflict with the system alarm.
• 🔋 Battery Optimization That Removes the Alarm from the AutoRun Whitelist.
• 🛠️ Manual modification of system files (e.g., through ADB root-access).

If you start a repeat after you update your firmware, you may have a problem in the cache of the Watch app, in which case you can reset your alarm clock or reinstall the update, but if you have third-party programs to blame, you'll have to dig deeper and turn them off one by one.

Method 1: Disabling the repeat in the standard “Clock” application

The most obvious and quickest method is to change the settings directly in the Watch app, which works on all Redmi Note models regardless of the MIUI version.

Instructions:

1. Open the “Clock” app** (icon with dial).
2. Go to the tab "Alarm clock"** (bell icon at the bottom).
3. Press the active alarm clock that repeats.
4. Scroll down to the "Repeat" block** and tap it.
5. In the window open, remove all ticks (or leave only the necessary days).
6. Go back and check the Repeat Interval setting – set the value of “No” or “Disable”**.

If your version of MIUI does not have a repeat interval, the alarm clock will be repeated due to a failure, in which case resetting the application settings (more on this below) will help.

Method 2: Reset the settings of the “Clock” application

If the alarm clock repeats doesn't turn off through the interface, the system application settings may have gone wrong, and then cache and data resetting will help. This method will remove all your alarm clocks - write down the time of the alarm beforehand!

How to reset:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the “Clock” (or “Clock”) list and tap it.

Once you reboot, open the clock and set the alarm again. The repeat should disappear. If the problem persists, move on to the next method.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI 13/14 Resetting the clock can cause all timers and world time to reset. Before the procedure, take screenshots of important settings.

Method 3: Disable autorepeat through hidden settings (for advanced)

Deep MIUI settings have parameters that don't show up in the standard interface, one of which is a forced alarm clock replay that can be activated by default, and you'll need access to test settings to turn it off.

Instructions:

1. Open the Phone app** and enter the combination: ##4636###.

This method doesn't work on all versions of MIUI, but it can help if standard methods don't work, and if there's no Alarm Manager, your firmware doesn't support these settings.

Method 4: Using ADB to force replay disabling

If all previous methods failed, the last option is to turn off the alarm clock over the ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which requires connecting a smartphone to a computer and basic command line knowledge.

Step-by-step:

1. Enable “USB Debugging”** in the developer settings (Settings → About Phone → MIUI version – tap 7 times, then go back to Settings → Additional → For Developers).
2. Connect Redmi Note to your PC and confirm the debugging permission.

adb shell settings put global alarm_repeat_interval 0

1. Reboot your smartphone.

This command is forced to set the alarm clock to 0 seconds, which effectively shuts down the function. If there's still a repeat after the reboot, try an alternative command:

adb shell pm clear com.android.deskclock

It will completely reset the system alarm settings (analogue to data cleaning in the method). №2).

⚠️ Attention: Use ADB It can cause the system to be unstable if you type the wrong command. Do not edit other parameters unless you are sure of their purpose.

Comparison of methods: which way to choose?

Not all methods are equally effective, and the table below compares methods by complexity, risk and outcome:

For most users, the first two are enough. ADB should only be used if you're a power user or other methods have failed. Remember, the more complex the method, the higher the risk of new problems.

💡

If the alarm keeps repeating after all the manipulations, check if there are multiple alarm apps on the phone (e.g. Google Clock + System Watch) that may conflict with each other.

What do you do if nothing helps?

If you’ve tried all the ways but the alarm clock still repeats, the problem may be deeper:

• 🛠️ Hardware problem (rarely) If the smartphone fell or got wet, the module could have been damaged. RTC (real-time).

If you suspect a hardware malfunction, contact the service center. To diagnose software failures, you can use the Device Health Services app (available on Google Play), which scans the system for errors.

💡

Before resetting to factory settings, try creating a new user on the system (Settings → System → Multiple users) and check if the alarm repeats in the new profile.
