How to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro

Xiaomi smartphone owners often face a situation where standard volume settings do not completely silence the annoying sound of the alarm clock. On the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the MIUI system has its own features of audio stream management that differ from pure Android. Many users mistakenly believe that lowering the overall volume of media files affects the alarm clock, but this is not the case.

To completely shut down or fine-tune the sound, you need to understand the architecture of the Watch app and system profiles. In this article, we will explore in detail all possible ways to control the sound of awakening, including hidden settings and working with system files, you will learn not just to remove the sound, but to customize wake-up scenarios to your needs.

It's important to understand that a complete shutdown can cause you to be late if you're used to relying on audio signals only. However, if you only need vibration mode or visual alert, the Redmi Note 10 Pro system provides flexible tools for this. Let's take a closer look at them.

Basic settings of the application Watch

The most obvious, but often ignored, way is to adjust the inside of the app itself. In MIUI, the Watch app has its own volume mixer, independent of the system. To access it, open the app and go to the settings menu, usually located in the upper right corner or accessible through three dots.

Here you'll find the alarm clock setting, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to the tune selection menu, where at the bottom or at the top of the list is often the "No" or "No" option, and the choice of this option ensures that when the timer is triggered, the sound chip won't play back, but it doesn't turn off the vibration if it's activated separately.

It is worth noting that some versions of MIUI 12 and MIUI 13 firmware for the Redmi Note 10 Pro encounter a bug when the "No Sound" selection is reset after the device is restarted, in which case you need to check if the "Use System Sounds" check box is not worth it in the general settings of the application. Disabling system sounds often solves the problem of intrusive squeak.

• 🔇 Open the Clock app and go to settings via the menu.
• 🎵 Select the “Alarm Ring” and set the “No” value».
• 🔄 Check if the System Sounds option is activated in the menu.
• ⚙️ Make sure that no specific melody is selected for the specific alarm clock.

⚠️ Warning: If you set the "No Sound" tune, but the phone still makes a short squeak when triggered, it may be the system notification of the event, not the alarm clock itself».

After making the changes, it is recommended to set the test alarm 1-2 minutes ahead to make sure that the settings are working correctly, which will help to avoid unpleasant surprises in the morning.

Managing volume and sound profiles

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro has a separate volume slider for the alarm clock, which many users confuse with the volume of media or a bell. To find the right regulator, click on any of the physical volume buttons on the body of your smartphone.

Once you have the scale on the screen, press the arrow down or the three dots next to the slider, and you'll see an extended menu that will have a separate slider that will show the bell, and that's what makes the alarm clock the highest volume, and if you move it to zero, you'll actually turn the sound off, even if you have a loud tune in the settings.

Interestingly, MIUI has an Adaptive Volume feature that can automatically raise the alarm sound level if the proximity sensor detects that the phone is lying down screen or in your pocket. Disabling this feature can help if the phone suddenly starts to sound louder than you previously set.

Also worth mentioning are sound profiles. In the Redmi Note 10 Pro, you can set up automatic profile switching on a schedule. If you set a No Sound or Vibration profile for sleep, it can interrupt the alarm settings in some firmware versions. Check the profile schedule in the sound settings to make sure they don't conflict with your desire for a quiet awakening.

Configuring vibrations and alternative signals

If your goal is not to hear the sound, but to feel the awakening, then setting the vibration becomes critical. In Xiaomi, the alarm clock vibration is set separately from the vibration when you ring, go to the settings of a particular alarm clock and find the item "Vibrosignal".

You can choose the intensity and the vibration pattern. With the Redmi Note 10 Pro, with its powerful vibrator, even a light pattern will be palpable. Creating your own vibration pattern makes the signal unique and less annoying than standard rhythmic pulsations.

And then there's the Gradual Volume Up feature, which is that if you turn the sound off completely, it's useless, but if you keep the sound down, it allows the phone to start with a little squeak and build up gradually, and it's a gentle mode for the nervous system.

• 📳 Go to editing a specific alarm clock.
• 🌊 Select the "Vibrosignal" item and adjust the pattern.
• 📈 Turn off Gradual Increase if the sound is turned off.
• 🔔 Check the vibration in the mode "Do not disturb».

⚠️ Note: In Do Not Disturb mode, the alarm clock vibration can be turned off by system rules. Make sure that the Do Not Disturb mode exceptions add the Clock app or a specific alarm is marked as important.

Remember, visual cues can also serve as an add-on. The Redmi Note 10 Pro screen is bright, and turning on the display when the alarm goes off (if you don't tick "Switch off the screen") can wake you up even without sound. This is especially true if the phone is lying on the nightstand screen up.

The Do Not Disturb Mode and Its Impact

The MIUI's Do Not Disturb (DND) mode is quite aggressive and can block audible signals if the settings are not set correctly. By default, alarms should sound even in this mode, but there are nuances that depend on the Android version and shell.

To make sure that the alarm goes off (or doesn't work if you want silence), go to the "Do Not Disturb" settings. Find the "Allow Notifications" or "Exceptions" section. There should be a point where the alarms are allowed to work, and turning off this point will cause the phone to silently vibrate or just show the notification.

A common mistake users make is to activate the "Do Not Disturb" mode on a sleep schedule, hoping the alarm will still work. In some scenarios, MIUI treats this as complete silence. If you want the alarm to be silent, this is the perfect way. If you need to keep the alarm going, check for exceptions.

Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb → Allow → Alarms

Also worth noting is the callers replay feature, which sometimes conflicts with DND rules. Although it concerns calls, the complex operation of the notification system can lead to unpredictable audio stream behavior. Testing settings at a safe time is the best way to avoid problems.

💡

Do Not Disturb mode takes precedence over standard sound settings. If the alarm is silent, check for exceptions in this mode first.

Third-party applications and alternatives

If Xiaomi's regular Watch app doesn't meet your needs for sound management flexibility, you can always turn to third-party solutions.The Android platform lets you set alternative alarm clocks that may have their own sound processing rules.

Popular apps like Alarmy or Sleep Cycle often bypass system constraints, and they can use media stream instead of alarm clock flow, allowing them to control their volume through a regular media slider, giving an additional layer of control to Redmi Note 10 Pro users.

However, using third-party applications requires permission to work in the background and boot. In MIUI, an aggressive energy saving system can kill the alarm clock process and it will not work.

• 📲 Download an alternative alarm clock from the Play Market.
• 🔋 Allow auto-start in battery settings.
• 🔒 Lock the application in memory (lock in the menu of recent tasks).
• 🔊 Check what audio stream the app uses.

Another option is to use automation scenarios, and while pure MIUI doesn't have a powerful tool like Bixby Routines, you can use third-party automation apps that will switch the audio profile at a given time.

Technical nuances and hidden functions of MIUI

For advanced Redmi Note 10 Pro users, there are deeper management methods, such as using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to change system audio settings that are not available through the interface, requiring a computer connection and drivers.

Adb shell settings put global volume_alarm_speaker 0 It can force the alarm clock to zero at the system level, but after reset, it can reset if you don't create a script or module. ADB caution.

Also worth mentioning is the Smart Alarm feature, which analyzes your movements and can shift the call time if you wake up earlier. The feature's settings often include the Sound option, which can be turned off by only leaving vibrations on, a built-in MIUI feature that not everyone knows about.

⚠️ Note: Making changes through ADB or editing system files can cause the device to function in an unstable manner.

Remember that Xiaomi regularly updates its firmware, and the location of some items may change. If you do not find the described option, try searching the phone settings by entering the keyword “alarm clock” or “volume”.
