Hey guys, I have a question.
If my phone is on vibrate mode, there is a way that I can change that if some specific contact is calling me, it will ring with sound? If there is a, way, can you tell me how to do it please?
No

you might try a workaround for this, it cold be done by asigning a null ringtone for the desired contact and, using macrodroid or some other app of the same kind, you can use a macro or "activity" with a vibration action when receiving a call from a particular contact
Check modes and routines.
Add, if phone is on vibrate, if I receive a call from (chose your desired contact), then add what you want.

I've been searching for an app that will allow me to designate specific contacts or groups to override silent mode. For instance, I love sleep. I don't get enough of it. BUT, my girlfriend or boss or family need to be able to get a hold of me, so when they call or text it will notify me, even in silent mode. I believe Blackberry's have a feature like this.
this gave me the idea

Ideas?
There is an app called auto ring that will do that. I use it for the same reasons

Just tried it. Perfect!
i use foxyring, lets you set sleep hours, auto silencing, emergency contact list that can ring thru sleep hours with special ringtones. It can even do location based audio profiles. want your phone to auto switch to vibrate when you walk into work? it can do that. It even audio samples your current environment and adjusts your ringtone based on the ambient noise in the area you are located.

I love this app, but I wish it could do something else though, and having a hard time trying to search on it.
Just like Auto ring allows for certain contacts to override the state of the phone, I would like certain APPS to be able to override the state of the phone, for example, I would like my weather app to send its notification sound when weather alerts come out, regardless if the phone is on silent or vibrate ...
Sorry for hijacking the thread ...
Has anyone figured out how to turn off vibration mode PER CONTACT? I want to be able to have complete silence with certain contacts when they call in other words if the phone is in vibration mode and I have a silent alert for both text and calls if the phone is in vibe mode it will still vibrate. I have went into settings and contacts and everything else but still cannot set individual vibe mode per contact??
NO ONE else??

Go to contacts, click on contact you want to edit, click on edit and then scroll down, hit more and you get all the options for Ringtone, Message tone, and vibration pattern. Is that what you're looking for?
now if you want a little more control over messaged i personally use Textra as my messaging app, which gives me control to change things per person in the app itself as well and override the stock settings.

Thanks for the suggestion but I have tried that and when you go into edit contact, it does not give you the option to turn off vibe mode per contact and there were other factors with this phone that bugged me so I went back to my 6S plus.
Hi All,
I am trying to find away to make a certain contact make a sound upon notification. Even when the phone is on silent or vibrate mode. I get emergency notifications from work and when I have my phone vibrate I would like this contact sound. This is a text message from an email address. I don't know if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Null
CONTEXT: My parents have always had problems with their MIUI xiaomi phones (redmi note 9, redmi 5+ and note 4x) where Do not disturb (dnd) set up as "alow incoming calls - from anyone" doesn't work at all.
MY QUESTION:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" dnd option block notification sounds and make calls from anyone ring?
This function is vital to me as I often use DND to silence my phone but let calls through in case something important happens.
Thanks for the help.
When you press the volume rocker, it gives you two options, silence and do not disturb, I always have the phone on silence and it obviously doesn't sound when you get calls or anything like that, I'm not sure if the do not disturb option is actually for calls.
If you press that option it tells you ''sounds and vibrations are disabled'' but if you press on the silence option it specifies ''calls and notifications are silence''
I use DND on a regular basis at work/sleep to filter my calls and make sure that only my girlfriend, certain friends and family can call me and no one else. Meaning only their calls will ring out loud while all other people's calls just ring silently.
Your post is not clear as to what exactly you are looking for but if the short question is :
Does DND features work on MIUI?
Yes they work 100%
Here are the available options in MIUI 12

Sorry for not being clear enough, let me rephrase my question:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" option actually work while blocking all message notifications?
This option didn't work in none of the xiaomi phones I mentioned because it either didn't ring or it didn't block message sounds so the workaround was doing exactly what you did with your gf but with all my contacts instead.
Okay I recreated the scenario and you seem to be right. I wasn't able to check the calls part but I was definitely able to check that when the DND is set to
Allow Incoming Calls - Anyone
The notifications make a sound.
I'm assuming what you are looking for is that only calls should be making sounds while on DND and not anything else like SMS / WhatsApp / etc.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the confirmation. From what I see, this happens in every single MIUI phone out there.
I'm shocked that it's still not fixed after so many years of sending feedback through the feedback app.
I guess I'll have to find a workaround once I buy the device
Hello, everybody.
I'm looking for an app that'll allow me to select specific contact(s) from which I won't get phone calls. Basically, a selective do not disturb mode, without them knowing I blocked them.
Any ideas?
It depends on your device. I have a Google Pixel 5, and I can either block contacts or route them straight to voicemail. If you're using the Google Phone app, it should do the same.

There are call blocker apps in the Playstore that don't actually block the number but prevent it from ringing or prevents SMS notifications but still shows the call as a missed call. I don't know of any by name though.

This is exactly what I'm looking for.
I've tested a couple of apps, but they all seem to reject the call, instead of silencing it. I haven't seen any where you can explicitly state that you want to mute the call and hide the call screen altogether.

I can't remember any by name that I've used that do this the way you want, I just remember using an app that did. It/they may not exist anymore.
