Alerts and Reminders

Is it possible to set the alerts or reminders in jam with any notification sound / ringtone or vibration? I tried to set the reminders but it only displays the upcoming appointments but never gives any alert or reminder.
How can I set any notification sound or ringtone with the reminder / alert?
Thanks.

I think this should be in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
If it's not there, I use alarmtoday to allow all of this to be customised.

You can also use PhoneAlarm from the same developer (www.pocketmax.net) for similar audible repeating alerts for phone functions (voice mail, missed call, sms, e-mail)

Yes you can. You should find it in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
Ringtones usually go in the 'windows\rings' directory and any other alarms etc go directly into the 'windows' directory.
Then go to START, SETTINGS, SOUNDS & NOTIFICATIONS, make sure the the first three tick boxes are enabled, then select the NOTIFICATIONS tab at the bottom. In the event box, select REMINDERS. Make sure the PLAY SOUND box is ticked. You can then select the alarm you wish from the list (under reminders).

Standalone app for missed calls ?

I'm looking for a simple standalone application that notify me that i have a missed call, better if in a nice visual style.
Just like the SMS Chat notification, but for missed calls
I tried S2U2, it can do that, but i'd like to have an app that has only this function, without locking phone or notify me also sms....
Does such application exist??

there's something called iCaller .. look it up.

Is there a way to mute vibrate when phone is in use

It's really annoying when I'm talking on the phone and... VVVVvvvvvt...VVVvvvvt...VVVvvvvvt... the phone starts vibrating because of an incoming text, email or some random alert. Not only is it startling to the side of my face but the person on the other end is like, "WTF was that?"
It there a way to disable vibration notification when the phone is active?

It would be nice, but I don't think there is. I usually tell people I am walking by cows...

You can try a alternative messaging app like handcent SMS. It has the feature to turn off vibration during calls.

I probably should've clairfied that I'm using GoSMS which I really like. I've used Handcent, Chomp, etc and have settled on GoSMS.
Besides, the vibration alerts come through for any incoming notification; Gmail, Ebay app, txt, etc.
Changing text apps to resolve the vibration issue would only be part of the solution.
This is a really annoying feature.
Thanks anyway.
EDIT~
I just discovered a way to disable text msg vibration during phone use. GoSMS has a setting under: Settings> Advanced> Notification Settings> Default notification settings> (waay down at the bottom) Notification on calls> toggle "vibrate on calls" on/off.
Now if only there was a global setting to disable this...

for incoming calls go to Settings / Call Settings / Turn Off Vibration during calls.
in CM 7 you have an global Option to disable Vibration during Calls.

Missed Call - Stop Setting Reminders!

I have it unchecked in call settings to not show text and reminder options for declined calls, yet it still does this.
Any way to definitely disable this behavior?

Messaging VS Android Messages notification sound

problem:
"Android Messages" app uses "Default notification sound" instead of "Message received" sound.
the app was configured to have all the available notification types enabled (only "Other notifications" is available in the Notifications Category).
i've also checked and made sure "Android Messages" app has enabled all the "App permissions" (Storage, SMS,etc) and also "Other permissions" (Home screen shortcuts, Show on Lock screen, etc)
the native "Messaging" app behaves like expected. it plays the adequate notification sound
reproduce with:
1) set "Android Messages" as default sms messaging app (instead of the out-of-the-box Messaging app)
2) configure 2 different sound for "Default notification sound" and "Message received" sound in "Sound & vibration" settings menu
3) arrange to receive a sms (notification)
4) assert that "Default notification sound" was played instead of the expected "Message received" sound
questions:
is this problem being experienced by anyone else?
is this a known problem?
does it happen with all third party sms messagin apps?
SW version:
ROM version - Global Stable ROM
MIUI Version - V10.0.4.0.PDGMIFH

I'm pretty sure this is just a sound that works with the default messaging app only

for the time being, it sure looks like so
thanks

Yes. It's common. Xiaomi removed our ability to set custom notification sounds. Any third party app uses the default sound. It's quite annoying actually.

yeah.
skype, slack, gmail, etc, all sharing the same notification sound, sucks big time

Using something like MacroDroid, Tasker or setting a sound with Feel The Wear (only if you have a WearOS watch) could be something to consider in the meantime, I hope Xiaomi add this feature back in though. It's very annoying.
