Set up Android so that when you call you always ask which SIM card the call came from. Xiaomi ringtone: How to set and change ringtone

Due to the great popularity of Xiaomi gadgets, questions about setting them up are increasingly being asked on the Internet lately. One of the most common problems for an inexperienced user is the need to set up a “fast dialing” service or how to set up a speed dial on a Xiaomi smartphone.

This feature significantly saves time spent on dialing. This article describes the procedure for setting up the Quick Dial function and its features.

Quick number on Xiaomi (Xiaomi)

Previously, in the era of push-button phones, quick dialing was very easy to set up. The required number was attached to a button. Now, in the era of smartphones, the procedure for setting up a quick dial has changed slightly, as has the quick call function itself.

The first step in setting up speed dialing is to find the number that a person wants to link to speed dialing in the smartphone contacts list.

Speed ​​dial

After the above steps, a small additional menu will open. In it you need to select an option for what will happen if you click on the shortcut of this contact on the home screen. There are 2 options: opening the menu for this contact, or instantly dialing the number. We select the second option, and when you click on the shortcut, the number will be dialed immediately.

Various messengers and social networks are rapidly coming into use. Although many people already find their use more convenient, telephone conversations have not yet lost their importance. On the contrary, new functions and capabilities appear in modern smartphones, and consumers make call settings as comfortable as possible for themselves. This also applies to 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.

How to change the ringtone

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:

1. 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.
2. It is best to download music in the format " .mp3»;
3. It is also recommended to place the necessary songs exactly to 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";

• “Incoming call” again;

• 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”;

These methods are relevant for all Xiaomi models: both Xiaomi Redmi 4x and Xiaomi Mi a1.

How to set your song to a separate contact

Dividing incoming calls into ringtones is very convenient. You can immediately understand who is calling, whether it is urgent or not. This procedure is completely done manually, that is, separately for each contact.

Instructions:

• Go to “Contacts”;
• Select the desired subscriber;
• In its section, click on the “More” menu (three dots), or scroll to “Other” (depending on the phone model);

• Click the "Default ringtone" field;

• The familiar page has opened, where you also need to select the desired song or ringtone;

Third Party Applications

For purposes such as setting a ringtone, you can also use special applications in which the range of melodies and capabilities is wider.

Utilities with special features:

• "ZEDGE™ Ringtones & Wallpapers." Firstly, this app offers its own list of ringtones. You can download the songs you like by clicking on the corresponding button. Secondly, the program allows you to set ringtones for alarms, calls, SMS signals, even notifications.

• "Smooth call." In addition to standard functions, the application provides the ability to make settings such as vibration alert settings, setting the flash for an incoming call, and automatically gradually increasing the volume for an incoming call.

To find similar programs, go to the Play Market. In the address bar, write keywords, for example, “phone ringtones” or “ringtone.”

Important points

Sometimes, touching on this topic, many people have questions or difficulties that are also worth talking about.

What else you need to know about setting ringtones:

• The melody does not play when there is an incoming call. If you encounter this problem, your gadget may be in Silent mode. To check this, go to “Settings” in the “Sound and Vibration” section. Pay attention to the “Mute” field - whether the slider is activated or not.

• Length restrictions. When choosing a ringtone, do not pay attention to its length - there are no restrictions: there are no short or long ones, you can set absolutely whatever you want.
• Change track location. It is possible that if you change the location of the song, it will disappear from the call. To fix this, simply repeat the installation procedure.
• Deleting a track from your phone. If you delete the song that is on your call, as a rule, it should not disappear from the incoming call.

If the information voiced during a phone call is needed for later playback, it is recommended to write it down. For this purpose, the function of recording telephone conversations on Xiaomi is intended, which belongs to the built-in version. It is available for every type of MIUI shell.

It is worth considering that the legislation of the Russian Federation imposes certain restrictions on recording calls, because this action falls under Article 23 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. According to it, citizens of the country have every right to demand confidentiality of correspondence, conversations by telephone, mail, telegraph and other communications. Accordingly, the owner of a Xiaomi smartphone can record conversations, but only he has the right to listen. Please note that it is not permitted to disclose these records, otherwise it will be interpreted as a violation of the law.

How to enable call recording on Xiaomi

By clicking on the “Calls” icon, you find yourself in the dialer submenu. At its bottom there is a “Menu” key.

After clicking, the “Settings” sub-item appears.

Then a menu will appear to your attention, the second item is “Call Recording”. Activate the function (the message “Enabled” will appear). In order for it to be carried out automatically, you need to select the “Automatic recording” item. If you want to receive information that a call is being recorded, then click on the slider located at the top of the screen on the right, which is responsible for displaying notifications.

For the convenience of users, there are 3 mode options: each phone call, exclusively selected contacts or unknown numbers.

Where is the recording of a conversation saved on Xiaomi?

You can access saved files in the following way:

Third-party solutions for recording and listening to phone calls

Thanks to the functionality of the Android OS on Xiaomi smartphones, you can use third-party programs, which are easy to find on Google Play. Their advantage is that you can select an application that best meets your needs in terms of interface and functionality, and also allows you to make individual settings.

There are also certain disadvantages, because downloaded applications cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation of the software. Another disadvantage is higher battery consumption.

Automatic Call Recorder

A positive feature is that the program is distributed free of charge. It can be easily customized and rarely causes errors in the OS. Please note that you will be constantly offered a variety of advertisements, which you can only get rid of by purchasing the paid version.

The user can automatically record conversations and then save them to Google Drive and Dropbox. In order to simultaneously receive information from the line and microphone, you need to select Voice Communications in the source settings.

CallU

It is characterized by an excellent level of sound reproduction, so there are no problems when listening to saved files. The information is saved to the cloud, you can protect it with passwords, and you can also choose to receive records only from selected contacts for free. For the convenience of users, it is possible to add text notes, as well as save formats: MP3 and WAV. The application is free.

ACR

It is recommended to download the program for devices with Android version 6 and higher. Among the shortcomings, I would like to note that there is no voice recorder, and the last updates were carried out more than 3 years ago. The advantages lie in truly flexible settings.

In order to listen to the saved information, you only need to go to the place where the recorded data is stored, for example, in the cloud or the internal memory of the phone.

In today's article we will tell you what SIP telephony is and how to use this service on Xiaomi smartphones.

SIP TELEPHONY

This type of communication makes it possible to make calls via an Internet connection to numbers of mobile, landline or VoIP operators. This technology allows you to save a significant amount of money, due to the fact that the tariffs are much lower (and often free) than those of any of the mobile (or other) operators. This is especially true for international and long-distance calls, roaming and other options. In addition, this type of communication does not tie you to a specific place or phone number; you have the opportunity to use SIP telephony services anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection. In most cases, setting up such a connection requires additional software, but with the proprietary MIUI shell, they provide this opportunity using already pre-installed (standard) tools. So, how to set up SIP telephony on Xiaomi?

The first thing you need to do is register on one of the VoIP telephony services, get your credentials, which you will subsequently need to set up your smartphone and be able to make calls using this type of communication. There are a huge number of providers providing such services. By going to their websites and checking out the tariffs, you can find the best option for yourself. What should you pay attention to when choosing a provider? Basically, this is, of course, where (to or from which country) you plan to call the most. Based on this and the proposed tariff plans, you can easily choose the one that best suits your requirements. Don’t forget that most providers, when registering for their service, issue some kind of ID (number). When making calls from one ID to another (one operator), the calls will be absolutely free and all you need for this is a more or less stable quality 3G (4G) or Wi-Fi connection. When calling landline or cell numbers, you will be charged according to the tariff plan, so the account you created must have a positive balance, otherwise you simply won’t be able to call.

After choosing a provider, registering, receiving the necessary registration data and replenishing the balance (if necessary), you can proceed to setting up your smartphone.

SETTING UP A SMARTPHONE

There is nothing complicated here. It is necessary to register the data received from the provider in the appropriate section of the smartphone settings. Going to “Settings”, select: “System applications” - “Phone” - “Advanced settings”.

In order to enter your account data, click “+” at the bottom of the screen, enter your credentials (“Username”, “Password”, “Server”), and click “Save”.

If, for the service (specific provider) to work correctly, you need to specify additional settings (Proxy server, Port, Protocol, etc.), you need to go to “Advanced settings” and fill in the required fields, then “Save” the changes.

For the service to work correctly, you also need to select “For all calls” in the “Use SIP telephony” settings, and also activate the “Receive incoming calls” item

After all the settings listed above, when making a call, in the selection point from which SIM card * make a call, the option will be available using “SIP telephony”.

* In order to display the choice of which SIM card to make a call from (or using SIP telephony), the smartphone must have 2 SIMs installed.

Having talked about this opportunity when using a smartphone, it would be wrong to keep silent about the fact that this opportunity also exists when using the so-called “landline connection,” namely landline (landline) phones. There are a huge number of phones on the market that support this technology. In addition to the ability to make calls via a standard telephone cable, these devices (due to the fact that they have a special port for connecting to the Internet) can also make calls using SIP telephony.

CONCLUSION

Today we told you how you can significantly reduce the costs of making international (and not only) calls. And even if you don’t have a need for this all the time, then no one rejects the existence of this opportunity when going on vacation, for example. If you take care in advance and set up the ability to make calls to your friends and family using SIP telephony before your trip, then you will either reduce the cost of negotiations to “zero”, or you will communicate at rates that, in most cases, are much cheaper, than tariff plans of mobile operators provide (even when using a “local” SIM card), especially in roaming.

Do you have a SIP number, but are you unable to configure it on Xiaomi? To learn how to do this, read the detailed description with pictures on the Android +1 website!

In order not to spend a lot of money on foreign calls or to anonymize the number, you can use SIP telephony. On many Android phones you have to install additional applications, but Xiaomi smartphones already have everything to make a call via SIP telephony.

How to set up SIP on Xiaomi and make a call?

If you have not yet got yourself a SIP number, then I advise you to use the services of the provider ZADARMA, with very favorable rates. Now let's move on to setting up SIP telephony on Xiaomi.

The actual SIP setup is complete, but you won’t be able to make a call due to a slight lack of logic among the Chinese developers.

You need to install another card from any operator into the SIM tray. Then go to the phone settings, the “SIM cards and mobile networks” menu and remove the assigned card for calls from the “calls” parameters.

How to call from SIP to Xiaomi?

Go to contacts and select the subscriber, after which you will see a choice of which SIM to call and below the SIP number.

Or if you are dialing from a dialer, then dial the number, start the call from any SIM card and immediately hang up. From the dialed list, make a call again and from the list of SIM and SIP numbers, select the latter.
