How to set a melody for a Xiaomi call, alarm clock or contact

Every owner of a Xiaomi phone knows that a standard call is represented by a template ringtone called Mi.ogg. However, not every user can easily replace the standard ringtone with their favorite music, which stands out among the surrounding sounds and emphasizes the individuality of the phone owner’s musical taste. The article describes algorithms for changing the ringtone. It also provides other tips for Xiaomi phone owners on how to set a ringtone for a contact, turn on the flash when calling, activate the rising volume function when calling, etc.

Changing the melody through a standard audio player

Open your audio player.
Select the file you downloaded.
Launch it.
In the window that opens, select three points.

Problems with changing ringtone

If the ringtone does not change:

a track in an unsupported format is selected. To change the melody, use tracks with MP3, AAC or OGG resolution. View the type of tracks through the song information in the file manager;
The maximum file size or playback time has been exceeded. Do not use songs weighing more than 15 MB and lasting longer than 10 minutes. It is recommended to trim songs using the built-in player;

How to change the ringtone

Some people don’t pay attention, using a standard ringtone, while others prefer to play their own music or even set a separate track for each contact. In this article we will figure out how to set a ringtone for a Xiaomi call. First, let's talk about how to play standard melodies or replace one with another.

Standard Xiaomi ringtone:

Go to “Settings”;
After scrolling the page a little, find the “Sound and Vibration” tab - open it;

In the tab, you can see several sections, from which first select “Volume” and go;

Please note that here you can adjust the sound volume for all kinds of signals: Bluetooth, alarm clock, ringtone and even call volume;

Let’s go back a little, select the “Incoming call” tab, then “Incoming call” again;

“Setting up two SIM cards” means that if your phone has two SIM cards, the melodies you select will be installed on both at once.

To change the installed ringtone you don’t like, simply repeat the above steps and at the end select another music.

Your own music: how to install

Not everyone is satisfied with standard ringtones, so sometimes questions arise: “How to upload your own track?” and “Where can I get it from?”

Before installation:

First, of course, you need to download the song itself - this can easily be done via the Internet, where, in addition to full versions of the music, there are also special processed tracks for setting ringtones: with the moment you need in the song or suitable in length.
It is best to download music in “ .mp3 ” format;
It is also recommended to place the necessary songs in the internal memory of the device .

So, there are two ways to install tracks: through the Music application and through Settings.

How to put a downloaded song on a call - the first method:

Go to the music application and open the list of tracks;
You see that they can be sorted into different categories (“Track Display”): “All Tracks”, “Artists”, “Albums”, “Folders” (implying those created by you);

Select the song you want, then click to open the player;

Next, click on the menu – the button on the far right (three dots). There are several functions here that we need - “Set to call”;

Click, and then you receive an instant notification that the melody is installed;

Now let’s look at the second method through “settings”

It is similar to the process of setting a standard ringtone.

Instructions:

Go to “Settings”;
Find the “Sound and Vibration” tab;
Then click "Incoming Call";
You have already been to this section before, only now you need to click on the “Browse” or “+” button below;
You are offered several options for track location: “Music”, “Explorer” and “Voice Recorder”;
So, you can go two ways: if you know for sure that the song is in the Music application, press the corresponding button;
Now just select the track and click “OK”;
And if, when downloading a track, you placed it in some other folder, it’s easier for you to go through “Explorer”. You will also need to select “SD card” or “Internal memory”;
Then simply mark the desired track, press “OK”;

What to do if the ringtone for incoming calls is missing?

It just so happens that sometimes contact ringtones on a mobile phone disappear. However, we can assure you that there is a solution to this problem too. There may be several reasons:

The most common reason is that the sound on the smartphone is low. In order to increase the sound, shake the volume rocker on your device;
The other most common reason for this problem lies in the activated “Silent” mode. To disable it you need:

Find the Settings application icon on your desktop.
Then go to the “Sound” tab.
Now we get to the point. If your blue toggle switch opposite the words “Mute” is lit (as in our screenshot), you have this mode enabled. Just click on it and the problem will be fixed.

However, the mode may not be enabled. Try turning it on and off immediately. If this does not help, you will have to perform other actions.

Reboot your device. Hold down the power button, then click “Restart”;
If this doesn’t help, it’s better to take it to service. Because the last method is very complex and will delete absolutely all data on the device. Therefore, it is better for people who are well versed in smartphones to perform a factory reset. And the service center will probably identify the real cause of the breakdown and correct it correctly.

Alternative actions with the call function

Some alternative functions can only be enabled using special software. The “Smooth Call” application has a sufficient range of functionality.

Using the application you can activate/deactivate the following functions:

Increasing ringtone volume when calling. The function may or may not be available in the standard phone settings menu. Accordingly, you simply cannot do without a software method to activate/deactivate it.
Designation of maximum volume levels during a call and determination of the rate of rise of sound.
Configuring vibration alert settings.
Ringtone operation in silent mode.
Even a feature like turning on the flash during a call. The usefulness is undeniable, since it can be used to find the phone if the silent mode is turned on. The characteristic blinking of the flash LED will indicate the location of the device. The downside is that the function is blocked when the phone screen is on.
