Set up different tunes for two SIM-maps on Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro: The Complete Guide

Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro with two-strength support SIM-Maps are a popular choice among users who want to separate work and personal calls, but how do you make sure you know which number they're calling without looking at the screen? SIM-In this article, we'll look at all the ways, from standard settings. MIUI to the sidelines for those who are faced with the limitations of the system.

Many Poco X3 Pro owners are unaware that the customized SIM tunes feature is hidden in the depths of the menu, and some are faced with the problem when the option disappears or malfunctions after the MIUI update. We tested all methods on current firmware versions (including MIUI 14 and HyperOS) and collected working solutions from official to alternative.

Why MIUI Standards Don't Always Work

In theory, Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro can assign different tunes to each SIM right in the settings menu, but in practice, users face three typical problems:

• 🔍 Option Melody SIM 1 / SIM 2 is not in the sound menu, although the two-sim is supported.
• 🔄 After updating MIUI previously tuned melodies are reset to standard.
• 🎵 The tunes are assigned, but only one plays when calling (usually the one set for the call). SIM 1).

The reason lies in the peculiarities of the implementation of Dual SIM in Xiaomi firmware. On some versions of MIUI, the function of individual tunes is tied to specific regional builds (for example, it works in Indian firmware, but is not in the global one).In addition, after the transition to HyperOS, the logic of assigning sounds has changed - now some parameters are controlled through Google Settings, rather than MIUI.

Another caveat: if you use a virtual SIM (eSIM) along with a physical one, tune-ups can be blocked at the system level, in which case only an alternative method using third-party applications (we will discuss this below).

Official method: setup via the MIUI menu

If your firmware supports the function, here is a step-by-step instruction:

1. Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Go to the ringing melody.
3. At the top of the screen, select the SIM 1 or SIM 2 tab (if there are no tabs, see the next section).
4. Assign a separate tune for each SIM by selecting a file from a list or adding your own through Local Music.
5. Save the changes and check by calling each number from a different phone.

If the SIM 1/SIM 2 tab is not available, try updating your firmware to the latest version via Settings → About Phone → System Update. Sometimes the feature appears after the update. Also check if the option is hidden behind regional restrictions - you can temporarily change the region in the settings to India (where Dual SIM is supported as fully as possible).

⚠️ Warning: If only one person plays after you assign a tune, try turning off the Vibration option when calling in the sound settings. MIUI Vibration blocks the playback of individual melodies.

Alternative method: use the Google Contacts app

If the standard method doesn’t work, use the Google Contacts workaround, which is suitable for Poco X3 Pro owners on any firmware, including HyperOS:

1. Open the Contacts app (the icon with the man).
2. Find the contact you want to assign a unique tune to and open it.
3. Click Change (pencil in the upper right corner).
4. Scroll down to the ringtone field and select the file.
5. Save the changes.

Now, when calling from this contact, the assigned melody will play, regardless of the SIM-The downside is, you have to adjust the tunes for each contact manually, but it's a 100% workable way that doesn't depend on the version. MIUI.

💡

To quickly assign a single tune to multiple contacts, use the grouping feature in Google Contacts. Create a group (e.g., Workers), assign a tune to it, and then add the contacts you want.

If you want to have one tune for all incoming SIM 2 and another tune for SIM 1, you can go for a trick:

• 📱 Create two new contacts with names in Contacts SIM 1 Default and SIM 2 Default.
• 🎶 Give them different tunes.
• 📞 When you call an unknown number (not from the phone book), the system will use a standard tune. To avoid this, add frequently used numbers to contacts with the desired tunes.

Third-party applications for flexible tune-up of melodies

If none of the above methods worked, we're left with third-party utilities, and we've tested a few applications and selected the two most reliable ones:

To set the tunes through Dual Sim Ringtone:

1. Download the app from Google Play.
2. Open it and provide all the permissions requested (calls, contacts, storage).
3. Select SIM 1 or SIM 2 from the top menu.
4. Press Select Ringtone and select the file.
5. Save the settings and restart the phone.

⚠️ Note: Some applications (such as Ringo) conflict with the standard phone app MIUI. If incoming calls are missing after installation, turn off battery optimization for the application in Settings → Annexes → Application management → Battery.

Set up notifications for each SIM

In addition to the ringing melodies, Poco X3 Pro can configure different notification sounds for SMS and messengers tied to different SIMs, for example, so that messages to the work number are accompanied by vibration, and to the personal – a musical signal.

For this:

1. Open Settings → Notifications and Status bar.
2. Select an app (such as Messages or WhatsApp).
3. Enable the option to Allow notifications.
4. Click the notification sound and select the file.
5. To link to SIM, go back to the main notification menu and find the Notifications by SIM section (if any). If there is no section, use the contact grouping method (described above).

For instant messengers (for example, Telegram or Viber), setting up is even easier:

• 📲 Open the settings of the messenger.
• 🔔 Go to Notifications. → Sounds.
• 🎵 Assign different tunes for personal and group chats.
• 📌 Link your account to a specific one SIM In profile settings (if the messenger supports Dual) SIM).

💡

On Poco X3 Pro with HyperOS, notifications for SIM are managed through Google Settings → Sound, not MIUI. This is due to the integration of Google services into the new firmware.

Problem Solving: Why Melodies Don't Work

If you have customized individual tunes but they don’t play, check out the following points:

If the problem persists, try resetting the sound settings:

1. Go to Settings → System and device → Resetting.
2. Select Resetting Sound Settings.
3. Confirm the action and restart the phone.
4. Reset the tunes.

Additional tricks for advanced users
