Standard contact lists often combine all events into a single tape, which can confuse the user when using both numbers actively. To effectively manage communication, you need to master filtering and log checking methods.

In this article, we will discuss in detail the regular system capabilities, hidden engineer codes and third-party solutions that will help you to get complete transparency in telephony matters, you will learn how to quickly identify the source of the incoming signal and redirect calls without losing control over the situation.

Analysis of the standard call log

The easiest way to know which SIM has been called is through the basic interface of the phone book, but many users ignore the visual markers that Xiaomi puts next to each number_recent_ (recent) small icons or color coding indicating the slot used may be noticed.

To view the details, you need to open the Phone app and go to the history tab. entry_ (The call record contains additional information. dual_sim, It automatically tags calls.

For quick switching between viewing all calls and only missed ones, use the built-in filter at the top of the call log screen, this will help you find the right contact faster.

Use of filters and sorting in MIUI

Xiaomi’s shell provides a convenient data sorting tool, which is especially true for a large number of missed calls. Instead of flipping through endless tape, you can use a filtering feature that allows you to isolate calls that have come to only one of the SIM cards, which greatly speeds up the search for the information you need.

To activate this mode, you need to click on three dots in the upper right corner of the call log screen or on a special funnel icon if it is available in your version of the interface. The menu that opens often features the option “Filter” or the ability to select the displayed SIM cards. When you select a specific number, you will only see those events that touched the selected line.

It also allows you to view usage statistics. SIM-This map often shows the number of incoming and outgoing calls for the current month for each card separately, and it won't give you a detailed minute-by-minute breakdown, but it will help you quickly estimate the activity of each line over a long period of time.

For a deeper analysis, you can use a log search, and if you type a phone number into the search bar, you'll get a list of all the interactions you've had with that subscriber, and if you reveal the details of a particular call, the system always indicates which line it was taken, even if it wasn't obvious in the general list.

Checking through the engineering menu and codes

For tech-savvy users who don't have enough standard tools, there are special codes for logging into the engineering menu. modem_ (modem, where every attempt to register the network and the incoming signal is recorded, but be extremely careful, as changing the settings in this menu can disrupt the communication.

One common way to do this is to type ##4636## in the dialing app, and once you enter the last digit, the hidden “Verification” menu will open, and you can select “Phone Information” from here.

In the “Expenses” or “Details” section, you can order a report for the desired period. The system will generate a file that will specify the exact time, duration, subscriber number and, most importantly, the direction of the call (incoming / outgoing).

To ensure that the application works correctly and does not close the system, you need to use the battery settings ("Applications» → «Settings» → «Activity control) select “No restrictions” mode for the selected program.

Notification settings and color marking

To avoid future questions about which SIM the call came to, it’s best to set up a visual difference in advance. Xiaomi allows you to assign different colors and even different tunes to each one.
