Mi Mix 3, no alarm sound after Miui 12 update - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

Updated last week. Now no alarm/countdown app (apart from the built in one) will give any sound?
All permissions and notifications are set on and power saving is set to no restrictions.
I've installed 5 different alarm app and none of them will trigger a sound or even get the phone to vibrate!
They all look as if they should be working, the display is flashing but that's as far as they get.
I've restarted the phone many, many times. That doesn't change anything.
I'm guessing that it's an OS bug, but can anyone suggest a workaround that might help?

Alarm sound is on and works with the built in clock/alarm but no third party app will make a sound or even vibrate!
There's a thread on Reddit from people with the same problem, so it would seem to be an issue linked to the Miui 12 update so I guess we have to wait for an update on the update!!

I don't know about other people but I have tested out 2 third-party apps from the play store just for you and they're both working fine

Thank you for trying that.
I don't know why, but the 'Clock' app you've tried works on my Mix 3... None of the others I've tried do and I've just retried them all! I can not explain how or why that's the case???

Lol that's weird, maybe it depends on the way that they work. If you want I can test the ones that doesn't work for you.

Alarm clock sound issue [JellyTime CM10 R15.0]

Hi guys, I just flashed the JellyTime CM10 rom by BlindnDumb and I had the same problem as with the new one by Flinny. There are almost no bugs except when the alarm goes off there's no sound.
I see everyone on the Developers forum talking about sound fixes and speaker fixes but I can't seem to find them. Other than this issue there's no problem with it (almost) and I really can't go back to sense after trying Jelly bean.

I'm just downloading 15.0 now - ill give the alarm a try and see if it works. Last time I tried this rom I thought it was good enough for daily until I found the movie glitche's but i read they've been ironed out now.

I have no problem with youtube videos or local video playing, I don't even have to change dev settings.
All other sound works perfectly (notifications, ringtone, speaker in general) It's only the alarm.
And when I reboot the keyboard settings reset. (have to turn on smart keyboard)
[EDIT] It looks like 3rd party alarm apps don't work either for me.
Have you tried alarm volume complete down and than up again.

Alarm & MMS not working
I have tried CM R15.0 as soon as it was released. Alarm and MMS (on 3G network) is not working. I see alarm is properly triggered but no sound. For MMS, I can send MMS while I am on wifi netowork but cannot on 3G mobile network. Other than these issues, I didn't find any problem so far.

is this a permanent workaround, or do I have to do it after everytime it decides to ring?

I may be having a separate issue then. I'm using alarm apps (doubletwist, alarmdroid) that plays a playlist of songs. Here's the problem, when the alarm is supposed to ring, it doesn't, the apps FCs, both of them. Magically, it works some days and not others. Been to work a few days late because of that.

I am running into the same issue on a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I have narrowed it down to Jellybean not liking me using my mp3 file (that I have used since eclair) as the alarm clock ringtone. It will use the defaults fine, but when I try to select my .mp3 file I get an "Activity Media Storage" isn't responding FC. This happens on multiple clock apps.
If you can'd find any solution you can try a third party specialized software like Alarmdroid

Alarms don't work

Hello all.
I've had my Nex for about five days and not once have my pre-set alarms worked properly. It just passes with no noise, no vibration and no lights. Later there will be a notification that I've missed an alarm. I've found that if I set an alarm in the next few minutes, that works fine.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Graeme

I initially had the problem with my alarms not working but then I decided to use the stock clock installed on the Nex. Later I learned after having issues with my Gear Fit2 Watch always disconnected after the Gear app closed. To fix your alarm issue (and any other app/device issues) you have to go into the iManager / Permission Management / Autostart (this is where you enable any apps you want to automatically start at boot or stay in the background) and Background pop-ups. I think the reason the Vivo Nex S scored so high on benchmarks is because most apps are not enabled to run in the background... so less background noise means higher score.

The problem is we don't know the manager exists. And there's no tutorial that high lights it.
Thanks xreactx - sadly that didn't work, but you made me realise that I hadn't tried the manufacturer alarm which works fine - that'll do for me. Nice one!
Indeed, I had no idea the manager existed - nor did I on my old Xiaomi Mi Mix (if indeed it did).

Nothing helped.
Stock clock is also not reliable .
Google clock also not reliable even after enabling autostart through I manager .
Any other suggestions?

alarm clock not ringing

Anyone get problem with alarm not running?
I got notification that there is upcoming alarm but never started to ring.
This used to happen on my 6T, could never find out why. I just ended up freezing the stock Clock app and installed Google Clock, which worked.
Since I switched to the 7 Pro, I haven't had the issue.

Having the same issue with no volume on alarms. Did some searching this morning and did not have any luck.
Not sure I understand the concept of "Freezing" with the 1+7 pro. Can you explain in a little more detail?
Are there any known issues if I "disable" the stock clock app and use the Google Clock?
thanks in advance,
I use smart alarm free and works amazing

Yeah i was having the same problem, now using timely app and also samsung clock on my old note 5
I have been a long Google clock user. Used timely (for its ability to sync over multiple devices) for a while but I also found I like to keep some things simple. With simplicity in mind, I am trying to address the low alarm volume with the stock app and have been doing some work on the stock clock app. In settings, all the way at the bottom is the "increasing volume" toggle. When I disable this setting, my alarms behave normally. Meaning, when my alarm goes off at 06:00, it wakes me up, with the alarm I have selected. This operates the same with timers and anything else that uses the alarm volume (Interestingly, when BT is connected, the volume is still decreased but one problem at a time).
Are some of you willing to check and see if you have the same outcome?
thanks in advance.
I have 2 alarms that go off in the morning. The first one never rings but the second does.
Just got my phone yesterday, so I tried the stock clock. Turned volume up to Mac and went to sleep.
Didn't hear it, and I was late to work. I'm going back to Google clock as well.

Beyond using another clock app? Not sure. Its been posted to the 1+ community boards. Little action there though.
This is a really weird issue. On mine only the first alarm wouldn't ring, then none. I installed the Google Alarm and it would sound for the second alarm but today didn't at all.
I wonder if it's something to do with hibernation?

Interesting thought. If you go into battery optimization the stock clock app is not even listed. I switched Google Clock over to "Don't optimize." might as well give it a try.
I'll report back in a couple days,

Horizont Light not getting to work

I am coming from a Xiaomi Mi 9 and actually I am missing the notification LED!
Not sure whether it is a general issue of Android 10 on our device or based on a lack of knowlege on my end.
I think I set up everything propperly, but neither Horizont Light nor any 3rd party app is indicating anything.
I tried to solve this issue by reading some threads on XDA already -therefore I am quite convieneced that settings are ok- but still notification light is broken.
Maybe there is any Custom-ROM with a nice solution...
pls. advice!
THX!

Jep...fresh out of the box -not rooted or unlocked yet!- Android 10 got installed.
Sure , well aware that it is beta, therefore I am asking whether it is a general issue at present, fingers crossed, that it will be solved latest with the stable version.
I did a quick and dirty install of Android 10.0.2 over 9.5.13 -and- I go no Horizon Lights to the notification.
Cleared the data and cache of the Ambient Display and no change.
I miss the notification blick i had on my Pixel.
.
Does NotifyBuddy work ? - The OP has not been updated in 6 months, which leads to to think that it does not work on Android 10.
Does a Play Store app work ? I saw one on the store and then a user said it did not for OnePlus...

I could be wrong, but I thought the horizontal lights were only working for sms messages. I stand to be corrected on thay.
NotifyBuddy works but you lose the ability to activate Google assistant by saying "ok Google".

Did you fix this issue/find yourself a solution? I know it has been a while since you posted this but the Renovate Ice rom has settings for the ambient display horizontal lighting and you can change the colors as well has how many times it pulse's.
I'm looking for a solution as well. I'm stock rooted on 10.0.2, and I've yet to see that light come on. And if it does, since it only comes on briefly, I don't see it. I may have to try that Renovate Ice ROM to get multiple notifications.

ON 10.0.2 the horizontal notifications were not working for my either, but they worked with Renovate.
I installed pulse beat and put the right settings, i think, but it only pulses once and quickly.
What should the settings be, for those that got it to work?

You could try changing the animation scale in the developer menu. Change it from 1x to maybe .75

Seems like a pretty decent alternative. Lots of options.
Only thing I've noticed is some occasional wonkiness in unlocking. It's random so I can't pin down what is really going on. Doesn't seem to be much of a battery hit

Am I the only one with notifications issues?

Since I've had my phone, some notifications just don't come through no matter what I do. WhatsApp will not work unless I wake up my screen and my calender reminders never work unless I happen to be on my phone.
All permissions granted, battery optimization turned off, auto start enabled and no restrictions on these apps. Quite annoying.
Does anyone know how to sort this?
LOL this has to be the funniest post I've ever seen here. Like 25% of posts and comments on mi 10 ultra forums are about notification issues bud. Did you even attempt to search?

Are you on stock Chinese by any chance? Switch to the EU ROM, this will resolve your issue easier than it is to explain every setting needed for some notifications to fully work. Took me ages but I did do it. Then I went EU, no issues, worked straight away.

Definitely try the EU ROM. It has its own problems but it's better than the stock.
Yeah I get this all the time. Its so frustrating. This bug has a mind of its own and seems to choose when it likes to stop notifications working

It is very strange, because WhatsApp is one of the apps whose notifications seems to be reliable.
Gmail is one that I am not 100% sure about. But I feel it is somehow related to the way gmail handle its notification, since I experience similar behaviour on other phones.
Teams and Outlook are 100% notifications rate for me.
Possibly I have set something else in MIUI settings, I have to check everything.
