How to enable auto dial on Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC: a complete guide with settings

The auto dial feature on Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC allows you to automatically repeat the dial-up attempt if the subscriber is busy or not responding. This is especially convenient for important calls when you need to call, but you do not want to manually dial the number every time. However, many users do not know where to look for this setting - it is hidden in standard MIUI settings in an unobvious way.

In this article, we will discuss in detail how to activate auto dial on the Poco X3 NFC (works on all versions of MIUI from 12 to 14), what are the nuances with setting the dial-up time, and why the function may not work even after turning on, and how to add exceptions for certain contacts and what to do if the option suddenly disappears after updating the system.

Note that on some firmware (especially global ones), the name of the feature may differ — it is also called "Autopovtor" or "Recalling." But the essence remains the same: the smartphone will try to reach the subscriber several times in a row at a given interval.

Where is the auto dial setting in Poco X3 NFC

Unlike many other smartphones where auto dialing is enabled directly in the Phone app, on Xiaomi this feature is hidden in the system settings.

1. Open the Settings app (the icon with the gear).
2. Go to the System Applications section.
3. Select the phone (or calls in some firmware).
4. Scroll down to the dial block - here is the desired option.

If you do not have System Applications, try an alternative path:

• 🔍 In the search bar at the top of the settings, enter "auto dial" - the system should show a direct link to the parameter.
• 📱 On some versions MIUI Option is in Settings → Annexes → Application management → Phone. → Additionally.

Important: If you use a third-party app to make calls (like Truecaller or Google Phone), the system auto dial won’t work, in which case, look for a similar feature in the app’s settings.

Step-by-step instructions for the inclusion of an auto dial-up

Once you have found the right partition, you just have to activate the function and customize it to your needs.

1. Open "Settings" → "System applications" → "Phone"

2. Find the dial-up unit and tap the auto call.

3. Move the slider to "On" position.

4. Establish the number of attempts (from 1 to 5)

5. Set the interval between attempts (from 5 to 30 seconds)

6. Save the changes (Ready or OK button")-->

Once activated, the feature will work for all outgoing calls, except for the contacts you add to the exceptions (discussed below).

• 🔄 Number of attempts – how many times will the smartphone repeat the dial (maximum 5).
• ⏱️ Interval – a pause between attempts (we recommend setting 10-15 seconds, so as not to irritate the subscriber).

Example: if you set 3 attempts at intervals of 10 seconds, then after the first unsuccessful call, the smartphone will automatically call back in 10 seconds, then after another 10 seconds, and then stop there.

⚠️ Note: On some versions MIUI After activating the auto dial, a notification may appear that the function is only working for SIM-Default cards. If you have two SIM-maps, check which is selected as the main one in the settings → SIM-maps and mobile networks → SIM-default card.

How to set exceptions for auto dialing

By default, the auto dialer is valid for all numbers, but you can add exceptions — contacts for which the repeat dialer will not work. This is convenient if you do not want to annoy certain subscribers (for example, colleagues or support services).

To add an exception:

1. In the same section, find the "Exceptions" (or "Black List").
2. Click Add Contact and select the number you want from the phone book.
3. Save the changes.

You can also add an exception directly from the Contacts app:

• 👤 Open the contact card.
• 📞 Put on the phone icon next to the number.
• 🔧 In the menu that appears, select Dial-up Settings. → Disable the auto call.

If you want to temporarily disable auto dial for all contacts without removing settings, just move the slider to the "Off" position in the main menu of the function. All your parameters (number of attempts, intervals, exceptions) will be saved.

Why Automatic Calls May Not Work and How to Fix It

Sometimes users find that the auto dialer is on but not working, and here are the main reasons and ways to fix them:

If none of the methods helped, try resetting the settings of the application "Phone":

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the phone and open its settings.
3. Select Warehouse → Clear your data (this won’t delete your contacts!).
4. Reboot your smartphone and turn on the auto dial again.

⚠️ Note: Some custom firmware (e.g. LineageOS) may not have an autodial system at all, and you may need to use third-party apps from Google Play, such as Auto Redial or Redialer".

Third-party apps for auto dialing: when they are needed

If the built-in auto dialing feature doesn’t suit you (for example, you don’t have enough flexibility or no flexibility at all), you can use alternative applications.

• 🔄 Configure an unlimited number of attempts (as opposed to 5 in) MIUI).
• ⏱️ Flexible intervals (e.g. 5–3–10 seconds for different attempts).
• 📊 Dial-up statistics – how many times and when the smartphone tried to call.
• 🔔 Notification of the results of the auto dial.

Top.-3 Auto dialing applications on Poco X3 NFC:

1. Auto Redial is simple and reliable, with a minimalist interface.
2. Redialer: Auto Redial – supports a blacklist and a whitelist of contacts.
3. Call Repeater – allows you to set up different profiles for different contacts.

To install a third-party application:

1. Download it from Google Play (check reviews and rankings!).
2. When you first start, give permissions for calls and contacts.
3. Configure the auto dial settings in the app menu.
4. Enable auto-run for the application in the MIUI settings (Settings → Applications → Auto-Start), otherwise it may not work after the restart.

💡

If you use a third-party auto dialer, disable the system function in MIUI to avoid conflicts. Two simultaneous auto dialers can lead to chaos in outgoing calls.

How Auto dialing affects battery and traffic

Many users worry that frequent dial-ups can drain the battery or waste mobile traffic.

Impact on the battery:

• ⚡ Each dial consumes about 0.1-0.3% of the charge (depending on the signal level of the network).
• 📶 If the signal is weak, the smartphone spends more energy searching the network, which can increase the cost by up to 0.5% per attempt.
• 🔋 With 5 attempts with an interval of 10 seconds, the total flow rate will be ~1–2% charge per cycle of auto dialing.

Impact on traffic:

• 📶 Calls don’t consume internet traffic – they go through the operator’s cellular network.
• 💰 However, some operators may consider repeat dials as separate calls, which will affect charging (especially if you have a limited number of minutes).
• 📞 If you are calling long distance or international numbers, autocall can significantly increase the cost of a call.

To minimize battery consumption:

• 🔋 Reduce the number of attempts to 2-3 (this is usually enough).
• ⏱️ Increase the interval between dials to 15-20 seconds.
• 🚫 Add to the exceptions numbers that you often call without much need.

💡

Auto dialing has little effect on the battery when used infrequently, but if you call frequently (e.g., 20-30 times a day), your charge can rise by 5-10% per day.
