Set individual melodies for each SIM-Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is a challenge faced by users of Dual-SIM devices. Despite its apparent simplicity, the feature is hidden in the depths of the device. MIUI It has nuances that depend on the firmware version, and in this article, we'll look at all the customizations that you can do, from standard tools to workarounds for when you don't have the option.
Redmi Note 10 Pro supports two physical nano-SIMs or one nano-SIM + microSD, but the customization capabilities are often limited by the manufacturer. We tested all methods on MIUI 12.5-14 and found working circuits even for firmware where the feature is officially non-existent. Importantly, some solutions require ADB or third-party permissions β we will warn you about this in advance.
Why is the Redmi Note 10 Pro not having a Melody for SIM option in its settings?
The problem lies in Xiaomiβs policy: since MIUI 12, the company has simplified the interface by removing the individual settings for each SIM in some regional versions of the firmware.
- π± Regional restrictions: Global (Global) and Chinese (China) builds have different functionality. ROM option retained, and in EEA β removed.
- π Updates MIUI: post-upgrade MIUI 13+ The setting may be missing even if it was previously available.
- π οΈ Production restrictions: Xiaomi believes that users rarely use different tunes, so hides the function βunder the hood".
You can check your firmware version at Settings β About Phone β MIUI version. If your build is Global or EEA, the chances of finding the option on the menu are minimal. But that doesn't mean that the solution is impossible: below we will consider all the working methods.
Method 1: Standard Sound and Vibration setting (if available)
Some versions of MIUI have the function saved. Check it by step:
- Open the Settings. β Sounds and vibrations.
- Scroll down to the notification sound block.
- Click on the ringing melody.
- If there are SIM 1 and SIM 2 tabs at the top of the screen, select the right one and set the melody.
β οΈ Attention: On the Redmi Note 10 Pro MIUI 13/14 Globally, this path usually leads to a single setup for both. SIM. If there are no tabs, move on to the next method.

- Make sure that SIM-Cards are active (no network errors)
Download the desired tunes in.mp3 or.m4a format
- Battery charge > 30% for system stability)-->
Method 2: Use the Contacts app to link melodies
If the system settings do not allow you to separate the melodies, you can attach unique ringtones to contacts stored on different SIMs.
- Open the Contacts app (an icon with a personβs silhouette).
- Select a contact tied to SIM 1 or SIM 2 (check the details of the contact).
- Click Edit β The ringing melody.
- Select a file from the device memory or standard ringtones.
- Save the changes.
πΉ Limitation: This method only works for incoming contacts stored in the phone book, and calls from unknown numbers will use a standard tune.
π‘ Advice: To distinguish SIM by default, set to SIM 1 short melody (e.g., 2 seconds) and for SIM 2 is long. This will help identify the map even without being tied to the contacts.
Method 3: ADB-commands to unlock hidden functions
For advanced users, Android Debug Bridge (ADB) allows you to enable hidden MIUI settings, including separate tunes, which works on MIUI 12.5-14, but requires a PC connection and developer mode enabled.
Steps:
- Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings β About Phone and click on MIUI Version 7 times.
- Return to Settings β Additional β For developers and enable USB debugging.
- Connect your phone to your PC, install ADB Tools, and execute the commands:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_ringtone_enabled 1
adb shell am force-stop com.android.settingsAfter rebooting to Settings β Sounds and Vibration β Call Melody, tabs should appear for each SIM.
β οΈ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB It may disrupt the system. Before executing commands, back up your data through Settings. β Additionally. β Backup and reset. If the phone is unstable after the changes, reset to the factory.

Method 4: Third-party applications for melodies management
If the system methods didn't work, install one of the specialized applications. We tested 3 options:
| Annex | Root is required. | Dual-SIM support | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ringtone Maker | β No. | β Yes (through contacts) | Google Play |
| Dual SIM Ringtone | β Yes. | β Full support | XDA Developers |
| Zedge | β No. | β Only through contact. | Google Play |
πΉ Recommendation: For the Redmi Note 10 Pro without root rights, Ringtone Maker is optimal - it allows you to create unique melodies and tie them to contacts on different platforms. SIM. If you're ready to root, Dual. SIM Ringtone gives full control over ringtones, including separate settings for calls and calls. SMS.
π‘
Before installing third-party apps, check permissions on Google Play. avoid programs that request access to SMS or calls without an obvious reason.
Problem Solving: Why Aren't Melodies Used?
If the ringtones do not change after setting up, check:
- π Media volume: sometimes system sounds are tied to a Media slider, not a Call. β Sounds and vibrations β Loudness.
- π΅ Do Not Disturb: If it's on, it can block the customization of sounds.
- π Cache of the Settings app: clean it in Settings β Annexes β Application management β Settings β Warehouse β Clear the cache.
- π± Application conflict: Some launchers (like Nova Launcher) or optimizers (like Clean Master) can reset audio settings.
πΉ Critical bug MIUI 14: On some devices after upgrading to MIUI 14.0.3+ You reset user tunes, so the solution is to roll back the firmware to 14.0.2 or use it. ADB-method (see Method 3).
β οΈ Warning: If after changing the melody, the phone stopped vibrating when calling, check the settings settings β Special facilities β Vibration when you call. Some versions MIUI These parameters are related.
Alternative options: how to distinguish SIM without different tunes
If none of these methods worked, use the following workarounds:
- π Color tags: In Settings β SIM-Maps and mobile networks assign different colors to each SIM. When an incoming call is made, a colored bar will be displayed on the screen.
- π Vibrational patterns: Set unique vibration patterns in Settings β Sounds and vibrations β Vibration on the bell.
- π€ Voice prompts: Enable the "Voice number" option in Settings β Special facilities β TalkBack (the number of the caller will be pronounced).
π‘ Lifehack: Create two shortcuts with names on your desktop SIM 1 and SIM 2, by tying different tunes to them through the Music Player widget. When you call in, quickly click on the right shortcut - the melody will change.

Starting with MIUI 14, Xiaomi actively removes the βextraβ settings to simplify the interface.If your model lost the feature of separate tunes after the update, consider rolling back firmware or using ADB.
