It just works fine without being paired, for counting steps and for alarm. Actually it has a specific function for running on the MiBand app, but didn't have the chance to try it so far, I guess it works with the bracelet connected. Anyway, it will count your step as usual, without being specific.

Here is all the information you need about MI band.. The FAQ from my MI forum

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=81191&extra=page=1&mobile=2
[General Accessories] snapdesign:
Have someone heard of an app for MI Band that uses the tap for actions?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
This is impossible.

Because there no "sensor" to determine tap: bracelet reacts on vibration and only when needed (pairing, alarm, call).

As proof: you can dismiss alarm not by tapping, but just shaking hand.
[General Accessories] obscure.detour:
Can anyone confirm any sign in issues using the Mi Fit app? I just received mine today and cannot log into the Mi Fit app.

I consistently receive an error message after the initial Let's get started! screen.

Can't sign in: Error 10001

I have created 3 accounts so far, one of which was created using the app, and the other two a PC. Each account behaves identically when attempting to sign into the Mi Fit app. White overlay pops up from the bottom of the app with a circling sign-in progress and then disappears back to the Let's get started! screen with the toasted error message. Also, each account is able to log in via a PC with no issues (@ account.xiaomi.com).

I've scoured miui, reddit and xda to no avail. I have found little information regarding this other than an this thread over at miui.com. I assume this is all server related as I also cannot log into the MIUI forums.

EDIT: Well, after basically giving up, I kept trying to sign into one of the accounts created via a PC and it finally worked!

Does mi band have the forgotten phone function, like if you move away 10 - 15 meters from the phone the band vibrates ?

i cannot find this info anywhere
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
No, and it can't be added (need change FW in bracelet).

Possible only reverse way to notify you if bracelet too far.

BTW it's can happen – many people find their strap empty.

Capsule can be easily pushed away, so netter fix it via any way.
[General Accessories] wizzardguy:
Sorry did not get what you meant to say about "Possible only reverse way to notify you if bracelet too far."
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
I have simple app / Tasker profile that constantly search for bracelet near. Will upload soon.

If it not found (lost) – sound and notification on phone.

BTW check this for interesting apps / info.

hello,

does it work with sony z3 compact (kitkat 4.4.4)?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Sure.

- Android 4.3 and above - check

- Bluetooth 4.0 BLE - check

BTW as far I know stock Sony firmware allows you to unlock phone by bracelet (if it will be out of range you need enter pattern / PIN).

I am trying your app for notification if we aren't moving enough, unfortunately despite following all instructions, I am unable to get the app vibrate the band if I take less steps than indicated. ..the app seems to be working with frequent syncing and also switches the blue tooth on if I switch it off and seems to work as intended, but no vibration on band

On the latest tweaked app and notification app, with sqlite3 installed as instructed and permissions given, notification access and vibration set up properly too. ..please help me
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
So you even not get notification on phone?

Maybe really moving enough?

Will test it soon, maybe something changed in database.

Also your device based on Intel CPU?
[General Accessories] pakure:
No i dont get any notification on phone too

No my device is samsung note 2. Exynos quad core
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
As promised tested app with last Mi Fit (1.4.113)

And it works as espected.

Try you too: clear app data, enter time interval to fit current, set delay to 20 min (it's minimal), min steps e.g. 5000 for sure.

Turn off screen and leave phone alone for 20 minutes.

After this you get notification on phone / bracelet vibration.

If no: will search problem.
[General Accessories] pakure:
Yeah, got the vibration and notification on my phone now, but not on my band:confused:

I am on 1.3.912 tweaked version with notify app
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Are sure, that enabled vibration for notifications from app "Mi Band Activity Reminder"?

And allowed access to notifications in Android?
[General Accessories] pakure:
Yes everything is set up right. ..still no vibration on the band:confused::confused:
[General Accessories] quac_quac:
Just bought one, it worth :)
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Well, if notification appears, but band not vibrate - it's fault of Mi Fit app which handle this.

Other notifications works?
[General Accessories] JonnyTeebaum:
new world record ?!

I think this i kinda awesome !!!
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Hourly (or other) reminder via bracelet

Also check other useful additions for Mi Band

UPD: native configurable reminders available in additional app Mi Band Tools

Also recent original Mi Fit app support notifications from up to 3 app when screen off: modded app not required

1. Install app Caynax Hourly Chime

2. In it configure desired signal schedule (it can be very flexible)

3. Choose any sound and set it volume to 0%

4. In Mi Fit app or Mi Band Notify configure desired notification for Caynax Hourly Chime

5. Important: for modded Mi Fit app tick "Without delay"
[General Accessories] pgptheoriginal:
Amazing battery life! I only get 30-40 days, but I suppose it's because I enabled WhatsApp and hangouts notification, so my band vibrates many times a day (the vibration motor is the most consuming component I suppose).

[MENTION=371528]Everybody[/MENTION]: what does "notification without delay" stand for? Does it increase power consumption of either the phone or (less important) the band?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
For correct delay between configured vibrations and LED flashes needed normal connection with bracelet.

It takes 3 seconds. That's because call notification have this minimal delay.

So with enabled "notification without delay" you get vibration immediately, but vibro / LED config may be wrong (too long with pauses).

Without it bracelet vibrates correctly, but after 5 seconds.

This also allows you to react to notification before bracelet if phone in use.
[General Accessories] pakure:
The notification appears even on the phone only for very high step count like 5000.. It only shows up even on the phone only once.. I don't know what's wrong.. The band vibrates for other notifications.. But your app is not working well for me... I need it badly... It's the only function that I miss between my moto 360 and my mi band

:(:(:(:(

I have set up few apps on my phone connected to Google fit..

'Move it ' is an app that reminds if you are not moving much.. It connects by detecting your movement on the phone... I set it to vibrate notification on my mi band

Since I have my phone in my pocket for most of the time during day time, this serves my reminder to move needs for now...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.me.rga.moveit

Also use 'cinch' another app that connects with Google fit and tracks my movements, reminds if I don't move much ( with matching led colour and notification on my mi band) and also automatically records my heart rate at set intervals on my moto 360 and syncs it to Google fit

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.perfectcinch

I also use 'aqualert' app to custom vibrate on my mi band at set intervals to remind me to drink water:rolleyes:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overseasolutions.waterapp.app

All these notifications show up also on my moto 360.. So I have two things vibrating on either hand.. Lol

I guessed i would share it here for people who don't use a smart watch yet and make the most of their mi band
[General Accessories] JustinSang:
These apps can pair with Miband , right ?
[General Accessories] pakure:
They don't pair with mi band... They work in sync with Google fit on your phone... I just use the notification feature of tweaked mi fit app for timely custom vibration on the band
[General Accessories] nofu:
Something new?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
No.

There no any way to often poll sensor due limitation in firmware of bracelet.

And even internally it records data only for every minute – it's not enough for SaA.

Probably it's possible to upload already recorded data in it's cloud, but seems this is not very useful.
[General Accessories] nofu:
Thanks, it is not my goal. I suppose a better algorithm for smart alarm, I would like to try it.
[General Accessories] mr_smokey:
Not syncing with some phones

Just a heads up, Mi Band refuses to pair with my Note 3 exynos. Same device pairs perfectly with Snapdragon 801. I assume its a SoC compatibility issue. Haven't gotten any response on their support forum yet.
[General Accessories] pakure:
[MENTION=5819236]mr_smokey[/MENTION],

Nothing to do with incompatibility... Using it well on my exynos note 2 for past 3 months.. No issues Whatso ever...

It just is the server sometimes acting up... Sign in/ out using PC ... And then try again
[General Accessories] mr_smokey:
Damn, I'm gonna try another rom then, because for whatever reason, my Note 3 will not pair. I pray its something to do with my current lollipop rom and not some defect with my phone. Thanks for the reply. Good to know, its not a Soc issue.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Heard same problem on other forum.

Yeah, probably reverting back Android version might fix it.
[General Accessories] mr_smokey:
Used the CM12 N900 rom and device has been successfully paired. Thank god. Useful device so far, although the vibration sleep alarm is too faint to wake me on mornings.

Can anyone with a Xiaomi Mi Band measure and tell me the width of the band at its narrowest point (in other words I do NOT want the width at the big round ring at the end, but just the width of the band like where the clasp holes are). I'm trying to determine if the silicone fastener rings for the FitBit Flex would fit the Mi Band so as to avoid losing the Mi Band when the clasp accidently comes undone. So what I really want to know is if the Xiaomi Mi Band is similar in width to the FitBit Flex band. Anyone who has both could check the width where the clasp holes are and let us know.

Thanks.﻿

PS. These are the FitBit Flex fasteners that I'm talking about. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WG7NQGA/
[General Accessories] z3r0-c001:
The width at the end of the clasp and at the portion of the bracelet where the holes are is about 1,3-1,4 cm...

Hope that helps =)

To solve: Install a free VPN app (I used TunnelBear). Set the location to Japan or China. Then open up the Mi Band app and you will be able to log in.

Once you have logged in, you can disconnect and uninstall the VPN, Mi Band will stay logged in,

How to use smart unlock on cm12.1 r5?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Last versions compiled using other way via Xiaomi.

And they very changed "class" that used to control notifications.

So recompiling gives errors and notifications not work on some devices.

dezmen3 tries to make it work as before

BTW Google Play version now "global" and very "trimmed".

There REMOVED exercises, recording running tracks and Mi-scale support.

So DON'T use that version, better install from Mi Market: direct link to always fresh APK

Or download attached to post.

1. Configure protected lockscreen: pattern / PIN / password

2. Open app Mi Fit > menu > Settings > Unlock screen > tap button below

3. After some time will appear notification, tap button in it ("Add device")

4. To manage it open Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices

I'm planning of buying this bracelet. Can you tell me how pleased you are with the fitness and sleep tracking accuracy?

I have a Moto 360 but I don't want to use it when running and so on, as not to drop/break it, so I don't care much about the notification capabilities of the band. Just the tracking ones.

Thanks!
[General Accessories] pakure:
I have both moto 360 and mi band... Happy with both.. Both serve different purposes for me[emoji3]
[General Accessories] b3cks89:
So the accuracy is acceptable for what it's supposed to do?
[General Accessories] pakure:
Sleep accuracy is great...

My moto 360, Google fit on my phone and the mi band show different step count ~150-350 steps differently, due to difference in that I use my right hand with mi band more than my left hand with the watch and the phone is in my pant pocket... So there will be difference...
[General Accessories] johnny15:
Anyone have any luck with support on these? What support contact did you use? I've had mine since mid February and it just died today...
[General Accessories] Ofthecats:
I find the accuracy acceptable, but I think that is highly individual.

Another great function is smart lock. Even when I dont wear the bracelet, I can keep it in my bedroom and it will keep my phone unlocked when nearby.

It also works OK as an alarm and phone call notification

Edit:y first battery cycle was 90 days with light use. 8000 step goal.

Has anyone had problems just creating a Mi account? I have created a Mi account about 10 times now.. Every single time sends me a confirmation email wanting me to activate the account.

Hi, I'm using Mi Fit version 1.3.912 + tweaked + notifications.

I'm wondering if there is a way to create more alarms within Mi Fit app. Is it fixed to 3 alarms? because I can't find a way to add more.

thanks
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
No. But try this workaround.

Install some alarm app that shows notification when ringing (maybe system nice too).

Configure a lot vibrations for this app and needed additional alarms.

Done.
[General Accessories] muiriddin:
That would only work if you are close enough to your phone to get the notifications propagated to the MiBand... You would be at the mercy of the bluetooth range for your phone... It is a good idea though assuming your phone is close by!

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

It does if you have lollipop, at least it does on my LGG3 with Lollipop...

The key thing is do not use the app for the security settings, Go to the Lock Screen page under settings and look for "Smart Lock" In their you will find Trusted Devices, that is where you add the Mi Band assuming you have already used the Mi App to connect it to your phone you should now be able to add it there. In addition you will need to make sure to enable smart lock under security settings subsection Trust Agents (near the bottom)...

Small Query

Hi friends,

I have a small query in regards of functionality of this band.

Does this band work only when it is in close vicinity to its paired device.

For example: is it possible for me to keep my mi3 at home and go for a walk with this band on, and then when I am home I can just pair the band with my mi3 and all the data of my footsteps etc will get sync on mi band app? Is this how it is supposed to work?

Or, I'll have to carry my phone also with me, unless that it won't be able to operate?

My query might sound a little silly, but it has been eating up my mind.
[General Accessories] WaPeR32:
I asked to a member of another forum and you can leave phone at home and the smartband will sync with the phone when you arrive.

I installed the latest from the Playstore and connected Mi Fit data to my Google Fit account. It also updated the firmware on the bracelet.

Now I've downgraded to the latest modded version because I miss the notifications! I doubt the data will still be synced even though the step counter is still increasing...
