How to turn off missed call notifications on Xiaomi

Modern Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones have powerful multimedia capabilities, but their functionality sometimes turns into inconveniences. One of the frequent complaints of users is a repeated beep reminding of a missed call, which is a mechanism designed by developers as a security feature so that you do not miss an important message if the phone was in another room or in a noisy place.

But in real life, this persistence is often annoying, because imagine that the phone is in a bag, and every two minutes it starts to ring loudly, catching the attention of others, or you're in a quiet library, and a sudden sound breaks the silence, and fortunately, the MIUI or HyperOS operating system allows you to flexibly manage this behavior.

In this article, we’ll take a look at all the ways you can disable annoying reminders, look at both the standard call settings and the hidden engineering menus that give you access to a deeper configuration, and learn to distinguish between system sounds and app notifications so that your smartphone behaves exactly as you want it to.

Why does the phone keep ringing after a reset

Re-alert is a standard element of the logic of mobile networks and operating systems. When an incoming call has not been received or reset by a user, the system marks it as "missed." Depending on the interface settings, the device can respond to this event with an audible signal, vibration or light indication.

The main reason for this behavior is to try to compensate for human distraction, and if you didn't hear the first call, the system assumes that you might not have noticed the device, but the algorithms don't always take into account the context of a situation, like when the phone was specifically put into silent mode for a meeting.

⚠️ Warning: Disabling all notifications completely can cause you to really miss a critical call from emergency services or loved ones in a noisy environment.

It is also worth considering that different versions of the MIUI firmware may have different settings. In the new HyperOS updates, Xiaomi is looking to unify the menu, but some items can be hidden or renamed. Understanding how to work helps you find the right switch in any version of the shell faster.

Disabling the repeat signal in the Phone application

The easiest and safest way to remove intrusive sound is to use the built-in settings of the Phone app, a method that does not require superuser rights and is available on any device in the Redmi, POCO and Xiaomi line.

To start, you need to open a standard call app, which usually has a green phone icon, and in the upper right corner of the screen is a menu represented by three dots or a gear, and clicking on this element, you will be taken to the Settings section, where key call options are hidden.

In the list that opens, you need to find a item that can be called “Calling Settings”, “Advanced” or “Sounds and vibrations”. The interface can vary depending on the regional version of the firmware. Inside this section, you should look for the option “Repeat signal” or “Remind about missed ones”.

Once the switch is found, it must be switched to an inactive state, usually accompanied by a change in the color of the switch from blue to gray, from which point the system will no longer make repeated sounds if there are missed events in the call list.

Managing Notifications through the System Menu

If the standard call settings didn’t work, you should look at the global notification settings, and sometimes the problem isn’t with the phone’s app itself, but with how Android handles the priorities of events.

Go to the general smartphone settings and select Notifications and Status Bar, which provides a complete list of all apps that can display information on the screen, and search the list for Phone or System Notifications.

Inside the notification management menu, you can customize the behavior of the system in detail, you can access the categories "Incoming calls", "Missed calls" and others, for each category, you can separately turn off the sound, vibration or pop-up.

• 📳 Vibration: Controls tactile response, which is useful if the phone is in your pocket.

This approach gives you a more flexible control, for example, you can leave a visual notification in the curtain, but remove the soundtrack, which is the perfect balance between awareness and comfort.

Use of Do Not Disturb and No Sound modes

For temporary solutions, such as during a meeting, a movie or a dream, it is more convenient to use special modes of operation of the smartphone.

You can activate it through the Quick Settings Panel (curtain) or in the settings menu. Unlike simple silent mode, Do Not Disturb allows you to create exceptions, you can configure the system so that repeated calls from some contacts pass and others are blocked.

💡

Set up a schedule for Do Not Disturb mode so it turns on automatically at night, saving you from having to do it manually every evening.

It's important to distinguish between "no sound" and "no disturbance." In the first case, the phone just doesn't make any noise, but the screen can light up and the vibration can work, and in the second case, the device behaves as quietly and discreetly as possible, ignoring most interruptions.

MIUI users can also take advantage of the Sleep Mode or Pocket Mode feature, which automatically mute notifications when the phone is in a certain position or on a schedule.

Configure through the engineering menu and codes

For advanced users who didn't find the right option in the standard interface, there is access to the engineering menu, which is a hidden part of the system, designed to test the hardware, but containing useful audio settings.

To get there, open the Phone app and enter a special code. For most Xiaomi devices, it's ##6484## or ##4636##. Once you enter the last digit, the menu will open automatically.

⚠️ Warning: Be extremely careful in the engineering menu. Changing unknown parameters can lead to malfunction of the communication module or loss of warranty.

In the list that opens, select “Phone Info” or “Hardware Testing” and then search the section related to audio or notifications (Audio), where you can find volume settings for different types of events, including missed calls.

Note that on newer versions of Android 12/13/14, access to some of the engineering menu features may be restricted by the manufacturer for security reasons. If the code doesn't work, your firmware version will block that access.

Comparison of settings in different versions of MIUI and HyperOS

The MIUI shell interface is constantly evolving, and with HyperOS, many items have been moved, and understanding the differences will help you navigate the menu faster.

As you can see from the table, the logic remains the same, but names and paths can change. In HyperOS, the company is betting on minimalism, so some of the detailed settings can be hidden in subsections.

If you’ve recently updated and can’t find your switch, search by settings. Simply type the word “repeat” or “reminder” in the search bar in the main settings menu of your smartphone.
