When an important call is disrupted because a line is busy or a subscriber is temporarily unavailable, it is familiar to every smartphone owner. For users of the popular Xiaomi Redmi 10S, this issue becomes especially relevant, since the built-in shell of MIUI (or its current version of HyperOS) has its own peculiarities in managing calls. Unlike standard Android, it implements a system of deep integration of services, which sometimes hides the usual functions in non-obvious places of the menu.
Automatic re-dialing, or auto-dialing, allows the device to call back to the contact at specified intervals, which saves the owner of the Redmi 10S from having to constantly keep his finger on the call button or manually dial the number again every few minutes. However, it is worth noting that in recent firmware versions Xiaomi often removes the direct “Autodial” button from the main interface of the call, relying on system codes or third-party solutions.
In this article, we will discuss in detail all the available ways to activate this useful option: you will learn how to use hidden engineering menus, what USSD commands work for the Big Three operators and whether to install additional applications from Google Play.
MIUI Calling Capabilities and Their Limitations
The MIUI shell installed on the Xiaomi Redmi 10S offers the user an advanced set of functions for working with contacts. However, if you are used to a simple switch in the call menu, you can be disappointed. The standard application "Phone" (Dialer) often lacks an explicit button to activate the auto dialer after resetting the connection, this is due to the company's policy of simplifying the interface and optimizing system resources.
However, the basic functionality allows you to customize your busy behavior, and you need to go to call settings, where you can find options related to waiting for a call or forwarding. It is important to understand that auto dialing and waiting for a call are different services. The first is implemented software by the phone itself, the second is the network equipment of the operator.
⚠️ Warning: Don't confuse a smartphone's software auto dialer with a carrier service. If your phone doesn't try again on its own, the network won't help, you don't use special ones. USSD-code.
Users often search for the feature in Settings → Applications → Application Management → Phone. You can reset settings or clear the cache if the function worked before but stopped responding. Sometimes a simple cache reset returns missing menu items in older versions of firmware.

Before changing your system settings, make sure you have important contacts saved in your Mi Cloud or Google Account cloud to avoid accidentally losing them when you reset your app settings.
Activation through hidden codes and engineering menu
The most effective way to enable auto dial on Xiaomi Redmi 10S without installing third-party software is the use of special USSD-These commands allow you to activate hidden system functions that are not displayed in the user interface. First, try the universal activation code of your operator, because often the network takes over the re-typing function.
However, if you want to repeat the program, you can try to enter the code ##4636## in the dialing field. This code opens the testing menu, where you can find additional network and call settings in the "Phone Information" section. While there may not be a direct button, this section is useful for status checks. SIM-Maps that affect the possibility of making repeated calls.
There is also a myth about *33# or similar variations that supposedly involve an autoresponder or autodialer, which are actually for forwarding services, specifically for enabling re-dialing at the Android system level (which tweaks the system). MIUI) frequently required ADB-For the average user of Redmi 10S It is safer to use proven methods through settings or applications.
Security of code use
Configure through the assistant apps from Google Play
Because Xiaomi’s standard tools are not always explicitly implemented, the most reliable solution for the Redmi 10S is installing a dedicated application. The Google Play store features a variety of utilities that intercept the “busy” or “unavailable” signal and automatically initiate a re-call, which bypasses the limitations of the MIUI shell.
A popular and proven solution is the Auto Redial app. Once installed, it integrates into the system and offers flexible settings. You can set the number of re-typing attempts, the interval between calls (for example, 10 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes) and the activation condition (only when busy or also unavailable).
Another advantage of third-party software is that it can create "smart scripts," for example, you can set up auto dialing only for certain contacts from a notebook, ignoring the rest of the numbers, which is especially useful if you're waiting for a call from a particular person or organization, but you don't want your phone to buzz constantly when you try to call the help desk.
- 📞 Auto Redial Pro – allows you to create number lists for priority auto dial and has a convenient widget on the desktop.
- 🔄 Repeated Dialer – features a minimalist interface and low power consumption, which is critical for Redmi 10S active-use.
- ⚙️ Call Scheduler & Auto Redial is a combine that not only calls back, but also allows you to schedule calls for a certain time, which is useful for business people.
☑️ Selection of an auto dial-up application
Use of services of the operator
Do not forget that the function of re-call can be implemented on the side of the operator, which relieves the load from the processor of your Xiaomi Redmi 10S. The largest Russian operators (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2) provide services such as "Call" or "Re-call", which are activated through USSD-commands or personal accounts.
The way the service works is, if you call and the subscriber is busy, you hang up. Once the line is free, the network connects you to the subscriber itself, and your phone starts ringing. This is the most energy-efficient way, because the phone can be in standby mode at this time. Activation is usually free, but the service itself can be paid or share-free (first attempts are free, then at the rate).
To activate, you need to enter the appropriate code on the dial screen. The codes can change, so it is better to check the current information in your operator's application *110*44# (conditional example) and disconnections — *110*45#. After entering the command, you will receive SMS-confirmation.
Comparison of Auto dial activation methods
To make it easier for you to choose the right option for your Redmi 10S, we have prepared a comparison table that will help you weigh the pros and cons of each method, taking into account your needs for functionality and resource savings of the device.
| Method | Difficulty setting up | Battery consumption | Flexibility of settings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-party annex | Low. | Medium. | High (intervals, lists) |
| Operator's services | Very low. | Minimum | Low (standard conditions) |
| Engineering Menu (ADB) | Tall. | Low. | Medium (depending on the team) |
| MIUI staff call | Low. | Low. | Absent or limited |
As you can see from the table, for most users, the best choice is to install a specialized application that gives you complete control over the process and does not depend on the tariff plan or the whims of the operator. However, if you just need to call once or twice and the battery is running out, the operator's service will be preferable.
Optimizing work and eliminating problems
When using an auto dialer on Xiaomi Redmi 10S, it is important to consider the aggressive MIUI energy saving policy. The system can automatically "kill" the background processes of applications for re-typing, considering them to be extra load. To avoid this, you need to manually configure permissions for the selected application.
Go to Settings → Applications → All applications, find your auto dialing app and select Battery. Set No Limits mode. It is also advisable to lock the application in the list of running (lock app) so that it does not unload from RAM during cleaning, this ensures that the call will be made on time.
⚠️ Warning: If the auto dial is not working, check if Do Not Disturb or Air Mode is on. SIM-The card has a stable network signal, since in the area of uncertain reception, repeated attempts can be blocked by the system.
Sometimes users are faced with a situation where the application is working, but the sound of re-typing is too quiet or, conversely, too loud.The volume control of the media and call in MIUI is separated. Make sure that while waiting for the connection, the volume level is set correctly so that the beeps are not missed.
💡
The key to keeping an auto dialer running on Xiaomi is removing the battery constraints for a particular application in the system settings. Without this step, MIUI can block the background call.
