How to put an auto dial on Xiaomi: 5 proven ways with instructions

Automatic dialing is a useful feature that saves time when you try to contact a busy subscriber again, and on Xiaomi smartphones, it can be implemented both with standard MIUI tools and using third-party applications, but not all users know that the setting of auto dialing depends on the firmware version, device model and even regional restrictions.

In this article, we’ll look at 5 working methods, from built-in tools to customized utilities, and why the feature may not work on some devices. You’ll learn how to set up autocall on Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Mi 11, and other models, including devices with global and Chinese firmware, and focus on hidden MIUI settings that the manufacturer doesn’t advertise, but that allow you to activate autocall without root rights.

1. Built-in auto dial-up function in MIUI: where to look and how to turn on

Since MIUI 12, some regional firmware versions have built-in autocall, but it's hidden in the back of the menu and often disabled by default to find it:

1. Open the phone application (standard call).
2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner → select Settings.
3. Go to the Additional Settings section (or Calls depending on version).
4. Find Autocall or Repeat Call.

If you don't have an option, your firmware version doesn't support it, and one of the apps we'll talk about later will help.

⚠️ Note: On devices with Chinese firmware (for example, Xiaomi 13 Pro) CN) The built-in auto dial may not even be available in MIUI 14 This is due to local restrictions of telecom operators in China.

The table below shows Xiaomi models that tested the built-in function:

⚠️ Note: Auto dialing apps may conflict with Xiaomi's power saving features. Add them to exceptions before use: Settings → Battery → Optimizing the battery → All applications → Select the right one and turn off optimization.

3. Set up AutoDial through ADB (for advanced users)

If you’re not afraid of the command line, you can activate hidden MIUI functions via ADB (Android Debug Bridge), a technique that works on most Xiaomi devices but requires a PC connection.

You'll need:

• 🖥️ Computer with Windows/macOS/Linux;
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original);
• 📱 Included debugging by USB phone-on;
• 🛠️ Google's Platform Tools utility.

Step-by-step:

1. Download Platform Tools and unpack the archive.
2. On your phone, turn on USB Debugging: Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version (click 7 times) → go back to Additional Settings → For Developers.
3. Connect your phone to your PC and type in the command line: adb devices (the name of your device should appear).
4. Execute the command to activate auto dialing: adb shell settings put global auto_redial_enabled 1
5. Reboot the phone.

After the reboot, a new AutoCall will appear in the phone settings. If it's not available, try an alternative command:

adb shell am start -n com.android.server.telecom/.settings.AutoRedialSettingsActivity

4.Why Auto dialing doesn't work: 7 common causes and solutions

Even when set up correctly, autoreflection may not work, and we've collected typical problems and ways to fix them:

If none of the solutions worked, check:

• 📶 Network quality (auto caller may not work with weak signal);
• 🔋 Battery level (below 15% the function is automatically turned off);
• 📵 Settings "Do Not Disturb" (Settings) → Sounds and vibrations → Don't disturb).

💡

Before setting up the auto dial, check the balance SIM-Cards – some operators block repeat calls when the balance is negative, even if the money is written off only for successful connections.

5. Auto dial on Xiaomi using Tasker (automation)

For users who want to configure autocall flexibly (for example, only for certain contacts or during business hours), Tasker is a powerful automation tool that allows you to create complex scenarios.

Example of the task for an auto dial:

1. Install Tasker and AutoInput plugin.
2. Create a new task (Tasks → +).
3. Add the action Phone → Call and specify the number.
4. Add the action Task → Wait (set an interval, for example, 30 seconds).
5. Repeat steps 3-4 times (e.g. 5 attempts).
6. Save the task and create a profile to run it (for example, by "Busy" or "No response").

Advantages of this method:

• ⚙️ Complete control over the logic of dial-up;
• 🕒 The ability to set a schedule (for example, only on weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00);
• 📞 Integration with other activities (sending) SMS, notices, etc.).

⚠️ Attention: Tasker consumes an extra battery. To save energy, limit background activity of the task in Tasker settings → Settings → Monitoring.

Alternative methods: forwarding and operator services

If software methods are not suitable, consider alternatives:

Service "Call" from the operator

Many telecom operators (e.g. MTS, Beeline, Tele2) provide a paid or free autocall service to connect it:

• 📞 Call a short operator number (for example *111# for MTS);
• 💬 Send. USSD-team (check on the operator's website);
• 🌐 Activate in your personal account.

6.2. Redirection of calls to another number

If the subscriber is often busy, you can set up a redirect to another number (for example, to a work phone).

1. Open Phone → Settings → Additional settings → Call forwarding.
2. Select a condition (e.g., "Occupied") and specify a number for forwarding.
3. Save the settings.

The disadvantage of this method is the redirection fee for some operators.

6.3 Use of the second device

If you have a second phone (like an old Redmi), you can set it up with an auto dialer through an app and leave it at home connected to the charger.

• 🔋 Battery optimization for auto dialing application disabled;
• 📶 There is a stable connection to the network;
• 🔒 The function "Do not interrupt the connection" is enabled in the settings SIM-map.

💡

Operator services are often more reliable than software solutions, but they can cost you extra money. Always check the rates before you connect!
