The modern Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite smartphone has a powerful MIUI shell, which unfortunately does not have a built-in automatic re-dialing feature as standard. Users often face a situation when you need to call a busy line, whether it is a hotline, a service service or just a conversation with a constantly busy subscriber. Manual dialing every time after a call reset takes time and nerves, especially if the line is busy for a long period.
Fortunately, the Android ecosystem provides flexible tools to address this challenge. On the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, you can implement auto dialing in several ways, from using specialized apps from the Play Market to deeper system settings through debugging. It is important to understand that Googleβs standard βbellβ preinstalled on many versions of MIUI often blocks aggressive auto dialing to avoid accidental costs or blockages by the carrier.
In this article, we will discuss how to make your smartphone call yourself, we will look at secure methods that do not require root rights, but effectively bypass the limitations of the interface, you will learn to use timers, scripts and special utilities, turning your gadget into a reliable tool for communication in the most difficult conditions.
Use of specialized auto-clicker applications
The easiest and most affordable way to set up automatic re-typing is to install third-party software. There are many apps in the Google Play Market that are designed specifically for this purpose. They run on top of the standard call system and emulate the user's actions by pressing the call button after each reset. For the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, programs like "Auto Redial", "Call Again" or "Automatic Redial" are great.
Once you install the app, you'll need to give it permissions. Android, and especially MIUI, is very strict about how you access your phone and contacts. Without the right to make calls and access your contact list, the functionality of the program will be blocked. Usually, after the first launch, the application will request the necessary access, but sometimes they need to be checked manually in the settings.
It's important to note that many free versions of these ulets contain ads that can pop up at uncomfortable times. However, there are paid or open source versions that do not have this drawback. When choosing an application, pay attention to the rating and installation number to avoid malware.
- π± Auto Redial is a classic solution with a simple interface that allows you to set the interval between repetitions.
- π Call Again β an application with advanced settings, including the ability to auto-dial on a schedule.
- βοΈ Automatic Redial β a utility that supports working with multiple numbers at the same time.
- π Redial Pro β a professional tool with logging all connection attempts.
β οΈ Note: When installing auto dialing apps, you trust them to manage your telephony. Make sure you only download software from trusted sources such as Google Play to eliminate the risk of data leakage or hidden paid subscriptions.
Configure MIUI permissions for auto dialing
MIUI is known for its aggressive power saving and permission management policies. Even if you installed a great auto dialing app, the system can force it to close in the background, deeming it a useless resource user. In order for automatic dialing to work smoothly on the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, you need to properly configure access rights.
First of all, you need to enable auto-start for the selected application. Go to your phone settings, find the "Applications" section and select your auto dialer. In the permission menu, activate "Auto-start"; this will allow the program to start immediately after you turn on the phone and remain in memory. Without this step, the system can "sleep" the process after a few minutes of operation.
The next critical step is to turn off battery savings for a particular application. MIUI often limits background activity, which interrupts the re-typing cycle. You need to find the Battery or Charge Saving setting in the application properties and select the No Limits mode, which ensures that the system does not interfere with the utility.
- π Go to Settings. β Annexes β All applications and find your auto dialer.
- π Activate AutoStart switch in permissions menu.
- β‘ In the "Battery" section, select the option No restrictions.
- π Allow display over other windows if the app requires visual control.
After doing this, restart the device and check the program. If the phone still resets the process, try fixing the application in the list of running tasks. To do this, open the menu of recent applications, find the auto dialer window and pull it down (or press the lock, depending on the version of MIUI) to lock it in memory.
Menu engineering method and USSD-code
Many users mistakenly believe that the auto dial function can be activated through a hidden engineering menu or special devices. USSD-Indeed, older versions of Android and some carrier firmware had codes like ##4636## or special service combinations to set up redirects when you're in class. MIUI 11, 12 and later, these features are often blocked or modified.
The engineering menu in Xiaomi is mainly designed to test hardware components: screens, sensors, communication modules. Trying to change the settings (call settings) through this menu can lead to incorrect operation of the radio module. However, you can check the available options by typing the code # # #3646633##. If the menu opens, look for the Telephony tab, but be careful: changing unknown parameters may require resetting the network settings.
As far as USSD-The codes for redirecting during the class, they depend solely on your carrier, not on the phone model. You can activate the redirect to another number if yours is busy, but it will not be a "auto dial" in the classical sense (when the phone itself calls). To activate redirects during the lesson, the command is usually used as **67*number redirect#, but the exact syntax is better clarified with the operator.
Why does the engineering menu not help with auto dialing?
And it's also worth mentioning the last number replay feature. In the standard Google call that's on the Mi 9 Lite, if you press the call button twice in a row, the phone automatically dials the last number. It's not a full auto dial, but it can speed up the manual dialing process. Some users use macros to emulate that double tap, but it requires a complicated setup.
Automation through Tasker and macros
For advanced users who want to gain full control of the process and do not want to install dubious applications from the market, the ideal solution is to use the Tasker Automator. It is a powerful tool for Android, allowing you to create complex scenarios of system behavior. With Tasker, you can create a profile that will respond to the end of the call and initiate a new set.
Creating a profile like this takes time and care. You'll need to create a task (Task) that sends Intent to make a call, and a profile (Profile) that starts when you call "Call Ended." The logic of the work is based on cycles: call completed β wait N seconds β dialing, which avoids blocking from the operator for too frequent calls.
However, Tasker has its own complexities: the MIUI shell can interfere with Tasker just like regular applications, so it will also need to set up auto-start and remove battery restrictions. In addition, Tasker calls often require an additional plugin or special permissions via ADB.
- π Install the Tasker app from the Play Market (it is paid, but there is a trial period).
- π Create a new Profile of the βStateβ type" β"Call" β"Call Ended".
- β Add Task with the action "Phone" β"Call and give me the number.
- β³ Add a delay (Wait) before the call action to give the system time to reset the line.
β οΈ Note: The use of automation scripts for frequent calls may be regarded by the operator as spam or the use of automated equipment (ACD), This can lead to temporary blocking. SIM-Keep reasonable intervals between calls (at least) 5-10 seconds).
Using ADB to deep-tube the system
If standard methods do not give the desired result or you want to implement the auto dial function at a deeper level without installing unnecessary APK-Files can be used to use the tool ADB (Android Debug Bridge. This method is suitable for experienced users familiar with the command line. By connecting the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite to a computer, you can issue commands that change the behavior of the system.
With help. ADB You can, for example, force the hidden flags in the bell to be turned on if they are present in the code, but were disabled by the manufacturer. ADB You can set the parameters. DTMF-The signal or the duration of the beeps, which indirectly affects the operation of the auto dialers. ADB There are no Android commands, so this method is more often used to debug auto dialing apps or remove restrictions. MIUI.
To get started, you need to enable USB Debugging in the Developer menu. To activate this menu on the Mi 9 Lite, you need to quickly click seven times on the build number in the About Phone section. Once you connect to your PC and install ADB drivers, you can enter commands to manage permissions.
adb shell pm grant com.autoredial.app android.permission.CALL_PHONE
adb shell pm grant com.autoredial.app android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATEThese commands will force the application to approve even if the MIUI interface is buggy, and you can also turn off aggressive battery optimization for a specific packet via ADB:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.autoredial.appβοΈ Preparation for work with ADB
Table of comparison of methods of auto dialing
To make it easier for you to choose the right method, we have prepared a comparison table that will help you assess the pros and cons of each method in the context of using the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite.
| Method | Difficulty | Efficiency | The risk of blocking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apps from Play Market | Low. | Tall. | Medium. |
| Tasker/Macros | Tall. | Very high. | Low. |
| Engineering menu | Medium | Low (often not working) | High-pitched |
| ADB team | Very high. | Medium | Medium. |
As you can see from the table, for most users, specialized applications are the best choice. They require minimal effort to install and customize, while ensuring a decent result. Methods with Tasker and ADB should only be considered if you are an enthusiast and want to have full control over the process, excluding third-party code.

Possible problems and solutions
When you set up your auto dial on the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, you may encounter a number of common problems, most often related to the MIUI. For example, the phone may stop ringing after a while, the screen goes out and the process stops, which is because the system kills the background process to save energy.
Another common problem is the lack of sound or horns when dialing automatically, which may be due to media settings or a particular application that is not properly interacting with the audio driver, in which case it helps to update the application or switch to another "caller", and it is worth checking whether the "Do not disturb" mode is turned on, which can block outgoing calls at certain times.
If the auto dial is working but with great delays, try to increase the interval between repetitions in the application settings. Too short an interval can lead to the fact that the network simply does not have time to process the reset request and a new call, especially in conditions of poor coverage.
- π Check the Do Not Disturb mode and make sure it does not block calls.
- πΆ Make sure the network signal is stable, as the auto dialer requires a constant connection to the base station.
- π Update your auto dialing app to the latest version via Play Market.
- π± Try changing the standard call to an alternative one, such as Truecaller or Simple Dialer.
β οΈ Warning: Long-term use of auto dialing can cause the processor to overheat and quickly discharge the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite battery.Do not leave a phone running an auto dial unattended for a long time, especially in the sun or in an enclosed space.

The main secret of success is the correct configuration of MIUI resolutions. Without removing the battery limitations and enabling auto-start, no application will be able to work stably in the background on Xiaomi.
