Xiaomi: Turn Calendar Reminder Sound and Vibration On or Off

If birthday or appointment reminders in the Calendar app stay silent, or if they buzz and ring when you would rather have them quiet, the notification settings for that app are usually the cause. On Xiaomi phones this is controlled separately from the general system sound, so a muted phone does not automatically mean the calendar stays quiet too. Checking the dedicated Calendar notification options clears up most missed or unwanted reminder alerts.

Sound and Vibration for Calendar Reminders auf Xiaomi

Calendar reminders on Xiaomi phones rely on the notification permissions of the Calendar app itself, not just the general ringtone or system volume. If a reminder for a birthday or meeting does not play a sound or vibrate, the app-specific notification channel is often turned down or the sound was never assigned.

The setting sits inside the Calendar app rather than in the general phone sound menu. Open Tap on CalendarOpen the MenuTap on SettingsTap on GeneralEnable or disable Notify on this deviceTap on Calendar notificationsSet the Notification sound and turn on/off Vibration.

Once Notify on this device is enabled, the Calendar app is allowed to send alerts through the system. From there, the notification sound and vibration can be adjusted independently, so you can pick a distinct ringtone for appointments or mute them while keeping other app sounds active.

If reminders still stay silent after this is set up correctly, check whether a Focus mode or Do Not Disturb schedule is active. Those system-level modes can override app notification sounds even when the Calendar settings themselves are correct.
