How to Challenge Xiaomi Redmi: All Ways to Deal with Different Situations

Have you ever faced a situation where you urgently need to interrupt a call to Xiaomi Redmi, but the phone does not respond to clicks? or accidentally clicked on an incoming call and do not know how to cancel it? In this article, we will examine all possible ways to reset a call on Redmi smartphones – from standard methods to hidden MIUI features, which are not known to all users.

The problem of resetting a call can be caused by everything from firmware bugs to hardware malfunctions. We will look at solutions for all versions of MIUI (12 to 15), including features of the Redmi Note 12/13, POCO X5 and other popular devices. If the call has already been reset mistakenly, we will teach you how to restore communication without losing data.

1. Standard call reset on Xiaomi Redmi

The most obvious way is to use the off button on the screen, but even here, there are nuances that depend on the MIUI version and the phone model.

On Redmi with MIUI 14/15, the call interface has changed: the reset button has become larger, and in some cases it needs to be held for 1-2 seconds to confirm. On older versions (MIUI 12 and below), one tap is enough. If the screen does not respond, try:

• 📱 Press the physical power button (in some models, this interrupts the call)
• 🔄 Twice click the Home button (if it is active in the settings)
• 🔕 Use the swipe up gesture from the bottom edge of the screen (on the new Redmi)

If the call is outgoing and does not connect, Xiaomi will automatically reset it in 30-45 seconds, but in some regions (for example, in Russia), operators can set their own timeouts.

2.Discharge through quick settings

Few people know, but MIUI has a hidden feature called resetting through the notification panel, which works even if the call screen is getting stuck:

1. Pull the notification bar down (even during a call)
2. Find the phone icon (tube) in quick settings
3. Press and hold it for 2 seconds – a menu will appear with the button Complete the call

On some firmware, this method may not work due to manufacturer limitations, so try an alternative method:

Press the "Power" + "Loudness increase" button for 3 seconds at the same time.

This will trigger a reboot menu where you can select Cancel Call (not available on all models).

💡

If the notification panel does not open during the call, check the settings: Settings → Apps → Phone → Permissions → Show over other windows

3. Hardware call reset (if the screen is not working)

When the Redmi touch screen is not responding and the call needs to be interrupted, a combination of physical buttons will help, which works on 90% of Xiaomi models, including the Redmi Note 11 Pro and POCO F4:

1. Press the power button for 5-7 seconds
2. Without letting go, press the volume button 2 times.
3. Wait for vibrations – this is a call reset signal

On models with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor (such as the Redmi K50 Gaming), this combination can cause a reboot instead of a call reset.

4. Resetting a call via SIM-menu (USSD-codes)

For power users, there is a way to defuse the challenge through an engineering menu, which works for all Xiaomis, but requires knowledge of the USSD-command:

Enter during the call:

#4636## → Select “Phone Information” → “Complete all calls”

On new MIUI 15 firmware, this code can be blocked.

**04* [phone number without +7]#

This will cancel all active calls from your SIM-Note: some operators (e.g. Tele2) may block such commands.

Make sure SIM-card|Check the balance (some teams are paid)|Remember the subscriber number.|Turn it off. VPN (can block commands)

-->

5. Software reset via ADB (for developers)

If you're familiar with Android Debug Bridge, you can reset the call via your computer. This method is suitable for Redmi with an unlocked bootloader:

1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB
2. Enter the command line: adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON -e android.intent.extra.KEY_EVENT KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK
3. Adb shell input keyevent: Adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_ENDCALL

For models with MIUI 14+, additional permission may be required:

adb shell pm grant com.android.phone android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED

⚠️ Attention: Use ADB-On Redmi models with a locked bootloader, this method will not work.

6.Recovery after an erroneous call reset

If you accidentally dropped an important call, there are ways to get the connection back:

• 📞 Quick callback: In MIUI There is a function "Repeat the last call" - swipe down on the phone screen and click on the last number.
• 🔄 AutoDial: Enable in settings: Settings → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Auto dial
• 📊 Call log: Click on the log number and select "Repeat call with notification"

On the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ and later, there is a “Priority Contact” feature – if you often call one person, the system will offer quick recovery after a reset.

💡

Starting with MIUI 14, Xiaomi added random reset protection: if you hit "Out" accidentally, within 3 seconds you can cancel the action with the "Return Call" button.

7. Frequent problems and their solutions

Sometimes the call reset doesn't work because of system errors.

Problem 1: The reset button is inactive (grey)

⚠️ Warning: This means that the operator is blocking the completion of the call. Solution: switch to another. SIM-card or restart the phone in safe mode (clip the power) + turn on).

Problem 2: After a call reset, the phone restarts

This is typical of Redmi with custom firmware. Check the software version in Settings → About Phone. If the version is below MIUI 13.0.5, an update is required.

Problem 3: Physical button resets don’t work

Some models (such as the POCO F3 GT) have hardware combinations disabled, and turn them on through the engineering menu:

#36446337## → Hardware Testing → Key Test → Enable "Emergency Call End"
