Hi,
I've just purchased my first Mi phone and am quite new to MiUi. I am trying to use 3rd party apps for SMS (Truecaller) and Dialer (Drupe), but in the case of SMS, i dont get any notification whatsoever and in the case of the Dialer, the phone rings but I don't see the call screen until I open it manually from the notification.
Is there some specific setting I need to enable? Or is it simply not possible in MiUi?
I have already tried giving the app permissions to the apps manually, but it doesn't solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to MIUI xD
U MUST check and change permissions on each app you install for correct work. Set permisions, set app to run in backgroud, change "battery saver", add to autostart, and so on and on.
Thats why i installed LineageOs insted of miui.

I have tried changing all the permissions but there seems to be no improvement. Is there something I could be missing specifically or some way of deleting these features from MiUi? I dont see a stable enough ROM that I would like to switch to right now.

Hi,
I am trying to set the Phonebook app as my default contacts manager but of course it does not offer that option.
Anyone know whether it is even possible yet or if there is another app that can replace the stock contact manager.
Im really just looking for an easier way of scrolling through my contacts
For example iContact burt edition for windows mobile
i wish i could just find phonebook, its no longer in the market. im assuming it was removed so they could start charging for it.

it's not listed with the featured apps on mine and checking with others on the #android chan, they dont have it either.
Thats odd, I am looking at it right now maybe its because I already have it installed on my phone or because google has damned me for the time being and hasnt allowed me to see paid apps!
the featured apps right now are
Wertago, wikitude, personal safety, imap, klondike, blackjack, brain genius, pro football live, ebay, picsay, shopsavy, telegraph, bluebrush, bonsai blast, myspace.
pm me the apk of it if you would!
I would love to have the phonebook apk back, if anyone could pm me as well.
Here's phonebook app.
Here you go, just rename it back to .apk and install.

So it cant actually be set as default? maybe in future updates
I think it can not be set as default at this moment. I have searched for this answer a lot, but found nothing.
jus delete your orginal phonebook, back it up first, thats what i did
Where do you find the downloaded apk from the market?
I can't compare to Phonebook, because it's been so long since I've used that app. Acontacts (totally free) is the most full featured contact app on the market IMO, and allows you to set as default when you press the call button. Good call log which can be set default and very responsive dev, as well.
Another one I've recently tried is Easy Dial Pro (ya I know Pro usually means $, but it's free, also). I heard about it in a thread here. Not quite used to it yet, but it seems really good when I played around with it. The call log may be better than aContacts. Again, you can set Easy Dial and Easy Call Log as defaults.
Hope this helped.
When you press the call button it will come up with "Launch using Dialler/Phonebook" tick the "Always use this program for this function" tickbox and select Phonebook.
If that doesn't come up then you have the dialler set as default go into applications > manage applications and then click on dialler, press the clear defaults button.

Anytime you install a new application that can be set as default, you are always prompted for which option you would like until you default it in the checkbox. Last time I tried to clear stock dialer default (user error), there was no option (donut drc63) so I had to un/reinstall my dialer app to get the list back.
I accidentally selected the phone storage for the location to search for sounds before I changed to settings to always ask and even though I hit cancel at the time I'm stuck with this selection. I made the choice in the Android messages app and tried settings>apps>messages>clear defaults but it didn't change and now I noticed that it's my only choice for other notification sound in other apps too! What am I missing? How do I get it to let me pick the path every time now?
I use Google's messages so I never saw anything that let me choose (also unrooted), but any sounds placed in to notifications folder on the root of the phone and sdcard can be choosen. Just note that it would use the meta tag info, if there are none then it just shows up on list as an entry called 'sound' (possible to have multiple sound entry)

Hmmm... Android message? or the Built in message? Anyway, you could try installing Zedge (ringtones app) and then from within the app try to change the sound. Maybe it will prompt you to reselect the location?

Both apps actually, all notification sounds go to the stick sounds. I can set a sound from Zedge but not to a specific contact or app. I'm looking to get the options back when I click on notification sound in an app.
As a long shot you could try resetting the sound picker app

I don't know which app that is
I ended up just clearing all defaults. It sucks but I couldn't pin point the app.

Well. At least you got it. But for future reference... Maybe look in Settings...Apps... then click on the top right 3 dots.
I found some interesting default apps options.
You can select different ringtones for different contacts. Select a contact you want to change the ringtone for (make sure you've previously downloaded the ringtone you want) and then edit. Scroll down to more then at the bottom of the options you can choose a custom ringtone and message tone.

Ok. Settings...Apps...3 Dots top right corner...Default Apps....Default App Selection....Ask before setting default apps.
You're going to need to clear the default for the app first...then redo it....it will ask, Just once...or Always.

This is what I did after I made my selection. The problem was I couldn't locate the app that kept me from selecting it in notifications do I cleared all defaults. Not a complete loss but mildly inconvenient.

Yeah, unfortunately that would be the only way (since you don't remember the app)...that way, when you select...the option should pop up everytime, as long as you select Just Once everytime.
I'm having the same issue but that options to change message tone is not available on the Oreo Beta, hope the include it in the final build.

Possibly. Although the Contacts app is made by Samsung and isn't included in Android stock (as far as I know). So you might just have the most stable version available whilst they tweak it to work with Oreo.
I personally don't use it as no one ever messages me/calls me. :laugh:

And yet you still paid a large amount of money for this phone...
Bet you'd also have a panic attack if you realised you'd left it at home too...
I keep getting prompted when using a third party launcher, the dev and I think this is a miui thing, as I have used same launcher on emui and there's no such prompt.
Any idea how to get rid of it?
Checked app's permissions?
Its a very annoying issue on miui... Go to settings>permission>auto start then enable auto start for all the apps... Problem solved

Ah, cool. Thankfully the shortcuts are only a small number and I can specific them, so only like 10 of them to set.
Thank you.

Go to settings > apps and permissions > permission management > choose an app and go to "Single permission setting"
I think the main one is "autostart", but i turned on the first few to be sure. Worked for me.

You also might change the battery settings for those apps. In settings - battery you can change the intelligent app management to more battery use in background allowed. This did the trick for me...

which a stupidity setting is to kill istant messaging apps and notification by default? i have no words really.. and anyway.. beside sometimes they work.. most of the time they arrive all together when for example i switch from WiFi to 4/5 G network and vice versa... can't figure out how to fix it.. not just whatsapp but a lot of other apps notifications have same issue.

Eventually enabling "mobile data use always enabled" in developer settings might help. Or disable the stupid network assistant / intelligent wifi ect.
You have to disable com.vivo.pem through adb shell command. That process kills apps to save battery. After that all notifications will come without problems
Device: Redmi Note 10 5G
Firmware: MIUI Global v12.5.3(RKSMIXM)
After the update to the latest firmware, I'm noticing that a lot of my notifications aren't playing sound when they should be. They all have sound enabled in their respective app settings, and the issue seems to only happen some of the time. I've found that I can get them working semi-consistently if I go into the app settings, tap the sound (which is already set correctly), choose "Pre-Installed Ringtones" in the Themes app, and then hit Apply next to the sound file I want to use. Notifications received after doing this seem to work correctly (i.e. play sound) for a while, but then they stop a short time later.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the MIUI Themes app itself, as one app on my phone, Signal, doesn't bring up the Themes app when I go to select the notification sound, instead bringing up a ringtone picker app I found on the play store. Honestly, I hate the Themes app's layout anyway, and wish I could use the other app to choose all notification sounds, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
If anyone else has experienced this issue and/or has any suggestions to fix, I'd appreciate it.
i dont have this bug. try reinstall via software update the full firmware, by the function "download latest package". it's safe, no data loss, and this procedure (that i made mee to) speed up the system

I tried this, unfortunately no change. Multiple notifications still come up with just vibration, despite the sound being enabled and selected. If I go back through and re-select the sound, it works for a while, but will randomly stop a short while later
other sounds works?
wetito said:

Yes, all other sounds seem to work. Ringtones for calls, alarms, media sounds seem to have no issues.
I'll give a specific example: I set the notification sound for Google Voice messages yesterday afternoon. It seemed to work for the rest of the day. Today, I see the notification pop up, but never heard the sound. It's very annoying, so unlikely that I missed it. I checked the settings without changing them, everything is still set correctly.
My suspicion at this point, after having done a bunch of research on how the ringtone picker intent is handled, is that the MIUI settings customization is somehow failing. I believe the notification sounds are stored in the Android settings package, but MIUI has taken over those parts, and somehow that is failing, but I'm not able to dig deeper since MIUI seems to be closed source. Granted, I'm not a dev, and know just enough Java to muddle my way through interpreting and understanding code, so my guess could be totally off.
have you tried remove miui battery optimization from the app that have this problem? and set remove all limitation? sometimes cause notifications issues. also try disable mi notifications app, use only android notification

I removed battery opti.ization from all those apps awhile ago.
As for the Mi notifications app, are you referring to this?
the hest thing u can do is a new clean installation but first u can try change some setttings. but i'm not sure, it's only an ideai. example: open WhatsApp info, and in battery option set remove all limitations instead off miui optimizations. if the priblem don't go away, i think that an update caused this bug so downgrade your firmware to the latest bugless is the better solution. but first u can try modify some setting... or remove the update from sone syatem app if it's possible your bug is particular
I faced the same problem. I use tasker and have one profile that changes the ringtone when connected to office WIFI
it works but then it sort of stops all notification sounds.
Earlier I thought this is some phone setting issue but when i disabled the profile from tasker my notifications are intact.
Probably something to do with theme app.
