Xiaomi Vibration Call: Full Adjustment from A to Z

Vibration when calling in Xiaomi smartphones is a useful feature that helps you not miss an important call in a noisy environment or when the phone is in your pocket. However, the standard vibration settings in MIUI do not always suit users: someone wants to make the vibration stronger, someone wants to turn it off altogether, and some are looking for a way to adjust unique rhythms for different contacts. In this article, we will analyze all possible scenarios for setting the vibration on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices – from basic parameters to hidden functions.

The feature of MIUI firmware is that the vibration interface can vary depending on the system version (from MIUI 12 to MIUI 15) and the smartphone model. For example, flagship devices like Xiaomi 14 or Redmi K70 Pro offer advanced vibration options, while budget models (for example, Redmi 12C) can have a simplified set of parameters.

Where is the vibration setting in MIUI?

To get to the vibration settings, you need to know the exact path in the settings menu. In the latest versions of MIUI, developers have moved some options, so the old instructions may not work. Here's the current route for MIUI 14/15:

• 📱 Open the Settings app** (the gear icon on the desktop).
• 🔊 Go to Sound and Vibration (or Sound in some versions).
• 📞 Find the submenu Vibration on the call or Vibration → Vibration on the bell.
• ⚙️ The main options will be available here: on/off, intensity and vibration styles.

On some devices (such as the POCO F5 or Xiaomi 13T), the path may be slightly different: Settings → System → Additional settings → Vibration. If you don’t find the right item, search for settings (the magnifier in the upper right corner of the screen) and type in the “vibration” request.

💡

If your model does not have a "Call Vibration" section, check if it is hidden in power saving mode. Turn off optimization for the Phone application in the battery settings.

How to turn on or off the vibration call?

The basic vibration setting for the call takes only a few seconds. Here is the step-by-step instruction:

1. Go to Settings. → Sounds and vibrations.
2. Find the “Vibration on Call” switch** (or Vibrate on Call).

If the switch is missing, check the following points:

• 🔋 Make sure the phone is not in "Do Not Disturb" mode»** (DND). In this mode, the vibration can be turned off globally.
• 📵 Check if the profile is activated "On the plane"** or "No sound».
• 🔄 Restart the device – sometimes system failures reset vibration settings.

Make sure your phone is not in DND| mode

Check the volume level (not at minimum)|

Turn off the power saving mode |

Reset the device if the vibration is not working-->

On some models (e.g. Redmi Note 12), the vibration when you call is tied to a common sound profile. If you choose Quiet or No Sound, the vibration can automatically turn off. To avoid this, set up a customized profile in the Sounds and Vibrations section. → Sound profiles.

Adjustment of vibration intensity

Weak vibrations can go unnoticed and too strong can be annoying. In MIUI, you can adjust the intensity of the vibration, but not all devices have this option. Here's how to find it:

1. Go to Settings → Sounds and vibration → Vibration when calling.
2. Slap on the item Vibration Intensity (or Vibration Force).
3. Move the slider to the right for amplification or to the left to reduce vibration. Some models have presets (e.g., "Weak", "Mediocre", "Strong").

If there is no vibration intensity, then your model does not support this option, and then you can use alternative methods:

• 🎵 Install a third-party vibration control app (such as Vibration Tuner or Good Vibrations).
• 🔧 Activate Developer Mode and try changing vibration settings through Settings → For developers → Vibration simulation (not all devices work).
• 📲 Check if the vibrating cover or protective glass is blocking (especially for models with a lower speaker, for example, Xiaomi 12 Lite).

Weak (barely noticeable) |

Medium (comfortable) |

Strong (to make sure you feel it)|

Disabled (not using vibration calls)-->

On devices with MIUI 15 and new models (such as Xiaomi 14 Ultra), the “Adaptive Vibration” option has appeared, which automatically adjusts the intensity depending on the level of ambient noise. To enable it, go to Settings → Special Features → Vibration → Adaptive Vibration.

Set up vibration styles (rhythms)

The standard vibration rhythm of a MIUI call can be boring. Fortunately, there are some built-in styles in the firmware, as well as the ability to create your own rhythm. Here's how to do it:

1. Open Settings → Sounds and vibration → Vibration when calling.
2. Stick to the Vibration Style (or Rhythm of Vibration).
3. Choose one of the proposed options: 🔄 Classical (standard rhythm) 💡 Pulse (short repetitive vibrations) 🌊 Wave (smooth, increasing vibration) ⚡ Impact (shocks)

customism

Set up

If your model does not have a style setting option, you can use third-party apps, such as Vibration Patterns, which allows you to create unique vibration rhythms for different contacts. The application requires permission for Special features, so after installation, be sure to activate it in the settings.

Vibrational call for individual contacts

You want to make the vibration of a call from your boss different from the vibration of a call from your friend? MIUI has a customized contact settings feature. Here's how to set it up:

1. Open the Contacts app** and select the contact you want.
2. Tap Change (pencil icon)
3. Scroll down to the Call section and select Vibration.
4. Specify the vibration style (e.g., Pulse for important contacts or Disable for spam calls).
5. Save the changes.

If the Vibration item is not in the contact card, try the following workaround:

• 📞 Assign a unique ringtone to the contact (for example, a silent file).
• 🔄 Turn on vibration globally in the sound settings.
• 🎵 For important contacts, set an audible signal + vibration, and for the rest, only vibration.

💡

Individual vibration settings for contacts only work when the General or Sound profile is active. In Vibration or No Sound modes, global parameters are prioritized.

Vibrational problems and their solution

Sometimes the vibrations on the call stop working or don't behave properly, so let's look at the typical problems and how to fix them:

⚠️ Note: If the vibration is gone after the update MIUI, Reset the settings of the Phone application in Settings → Annexes → Application management → Phone. → Warehouse → Reset the settings. It'll bring back the standard settings without losing data.

If none of these methods worked, check the vibrator's physical condition.

1. Go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version and tap 7 times on the Core line to activate the Testing mode.
2. Enter the code ##4636## and select Equipment Testing.
3. Run a vibration test. If the engine doesn't respond, it may need repair.

Additional chips: vibration in messengers and alarm clock

Vibration is not the only place where vibration is used in MIUI. You can customize unique vibrational signals for notifications in messengers, alarms, and even typing. Here are some useful life hacks:

• 📱 Vibration in WhatsApp/Telegram: Open the settings of the messenger → Notifications → Vibration: Choose a style or create a custom rhythm (on Telegram available via Vibration Length).
• ⏰ Alarm Vibration: In the Clock App, select an alarm clock → Melody. → Vibration: Set up intensity and rhythm (e.g., Rising vibration for smooth awakening).
• ⌨️ Vibration when typing: Go to Settings → System system → Language and input → Gboard keyboard → Settings → Activate the option and select intensity.

On devices with MIUI 14+, Vibration Response** has been introduced when interacting with the interface (e.g., with a swipe or tapa). To enable it, go to Settings → Additional Settings → Vibration and tactile response.

💡

If you miss calls often because of low vibration, install the Flash Alerts app, which will complement the vibration call with flash or screen blinking, which is especially useful in noisy places.
