How to turn on auto dial on Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro: official and hidden methods

The auto dial (or “autophone”) feature on Xiaomi smartphones allows you to automatically repeat an outgoing call if the subscriber does not respond. On the Poco X3 Pro, this option is hidden deeper than the competition, and its operation depends on the version of MIUI and regional firmware. In this article, we will analyze all the activation methods from standard settings to workarounds through the engineering menu.

Many users have a problem: there is no "Autophone" option on the phone menu. This is not a mistake - Xiaomi often removes or moves functions depending on localization. For example, in the global version of MIUI 12.5, the option may not be available, whereas in Chinese firmware it is available by default. We tested all methods on Poco X3 Pro with different versions of the software and collected working solutions.

If you use a smartphone for business or make frequent calls to busy subscribers, auto dialing will save time, but it is important to understand that the function only works when dialing manually – automatic replays for missed incoming calls are set up separately (we will talk about this in the last section).

1. Standard method: where to look for an auto dial in MIUI

Let’s start with the official method that works on most of the firmware Poco X3 Pro. Look for an option in the phone settings:

1. Open the phone application (pipe icon).
2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner → select Settings.
3. Go to the Call section → Additional settings.
4. Look for Autocall or Autocall.

If there is no item, don’t panic. Xiaomi often removes this feature on MIUI 13+ firmware for the global region, in which case one of the alternative ways will help (see the following sections).

Important! Some versions of MIUI have a different name for the option:

• 🔄 Repeat the last call - in European firmware.
• 📞 Autoset – in Chinese versions (requires a change of region).
• ⏱️ Repeat interval – allows you to set the time between attempts (5 to 30 seconds).

2. Hidden settings: engineering menu and codes

If the standard path didn't work, try activating the auto dialer through the engineering menu, which requires caution - wrong actions can disrupt the network.

Instructions:

1. Open the phone app and enter the combination: ##4636##
2. Select Phone Information (or Phone Information).
3. Scroll down to the Turn on/off auto-redial block.
4. Activate the switch and save the changes.

⚠️

Attention! Do not change other settings (e.g. Set preferred network type) in the engineering menu, which may result in loss of communication or resetting.

If the #4636## code doesn’t work, try alternative combinations for Xiaomi.

• 📶 ##36446337## - Menu of engineering settings of the network.
• 🔧 ##2846579## → ProjectMenu → Background Settings → Auto Redial.

3. Setup through third-party apps

If the built-in methods didn’t work, use third-party utilities. We tested 3 apps that work well on the Poco X3 Pro:

🔹 How to set up AutoRedial:

1. Install the app and give access to calls.
2. In the main menu, switch on the Enable Auto Redial switch.
3. Set the repetition interval (we recommend 15-20 seconds so that the operator does not block the numbers).
4. Add numbers to the exceptions if necessary.

⚠️

Attention! Some operators (such as MTS or Beeline) may block frequent auto dials as spam. If after 3-5 attempts the call is interrupted, increase the interval to 30+ seconds.

💡

If auto dialing doesn’t work through third-party apps, check if MIUI Optimized blocks them. To do this, turn off optimization in the developer settings (Settings → About Phone → MIUI version – press 7 times, then Additional → For developers → Disable MIUI Optimized).

4. Auto dial through settings SIM-map

Few people know, but some carriers provide their own auto dialing services, and they work at the network level and they don't depend on the phone's settings. Here's how to activate them:

For MTS subscribers:

1. Dial it. USSD-team: *111*52# → challenge.
2. In the answer, select 1 to connect.
3. The service is free, but is charged as an outgoing call.

For Beeline subscribers:

1. Send SMS with the text AUTOSTATION 1 to the number 5100.
2. Repeat interval – 30 seconds (unadjusted).

For subscribers, MegaFon:

1. Dial it *105*500# → challenge.
2. Follow the voice instructions.

📌 Operator services work even if the phone is disabled auto dial, but can conflict with third-party applications.

5. Manually creating an auto dial-up label

If you need to quickly repeat a call to a specific number, you can create a shortcut on the home screen, which does not require root rights and works on any version of MIUI.

Instructions:

1. Add to the main screen widget shortcuts (long press → Widgets).
2. Choose Contacts or Phone.
3. Click on the contact for which you need an auto dial.
4. In the action menu, select Create a shortcut.
5. Now, when you click on the label, the last call to this subscriber will automatically be repeated.

🔹 Advantages of the method:

• 🎯 It works without the Internet and third-party applications.
• 🔄 You can create multiple shortcuts for different contacts.
• 📱 Does not load the system (unlike background applications).

💡

Auto dialing shortcuts are the most reliable way for the Poco X3 Pro with global firmware, where there is no built-in feature.

6. Auto dial for missed calls

Many people confuse auto dialing with the autoresponder or callback function. On the Poco X3 Pro, you can configure automatic return of missed calls, but this is a separate option.

How to turn on:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Phone → Notifications.
2. Activate a reminder of missed calls.
3. Turn on the answering machine (you need to record a voice message).
4. In the Additional section, find the Return Call and set the delay (1 to 10 minutes).

⚠️

Attention! Callback only works for contacts from the phone book. It doesn't apply to unknown numbers.

🔹 Differences from auto dial-up:

• ⏳ Auto dialer repeats outgoing call if the subscriber does not respond.
• 🔙 A callback is an automatic response to an incoming missed call.

7 Problems and Solutions: Why Auto dialing doesn't work

If you have turned on the auto dialer, but it does not work, check these points:

🔧 Additional advice:

• 📵 If the auto dial does not work through the engineering menu, try resetting the network settings: → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Resetting network settings.
• 🔄 On the firmware MIUI 14+ Reversing to an older version may help (but it’s risky!).
• 📱 Before flashing back, make a backup through Settings → Additionally. → Backup and reset.
