Is there a way to use the mi band as a motion sensor/detector? I mean direct access to the accelerometer/gyro. From what I get, these apps just get data from the mi band app, right?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Seems patch include only x32 APK's and your phone x64 / x86.

BTW bug fixed in recent nightlies.

No, already discussed recently in thread.

It designed to interpret raw data only by band, so it can't be accessed.

BTW there's no gyroscope.
[General Accessories] Devo7v:
I have x32, I'm using a Galaxy S4 Active which has a Snapdragon 600 so it should have worked, I don't know why it doesn't. There were some issues with the bluetooth on 12.1 where if the band disconnected it wouldn't always reconnect unless I toggled bluetooth off and back on. Maybe the changes in 6.0 finally broke bluetooth for good on this phone. Can you point me to the commit that fixed it? I'm using unofficial builds of CM13 so I want to let the maintainer know that a fix has been implemented.
[General Accessories] Kirrrr:
I have a question concerning a usage of Mi Band for Smart Lock (aka proximity unlock, aka Bluetooth Unlock).

Is there any info on how achive the proximity unlock based on BLE signal strength (which is giving unlock distance of about few meters) on systems other then MIUI v6? The only one such case I know is the Xperia Z3 with a stock KitKat firmware (and not Lollipop).

Maybe there is some Xposed module or something?

Regards!
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Unfortunately, there still no solution as far I know.

I and other users many times asked author of Xposed-plugin No Lock Home (analog of SmartLock), but maybe he can't implement this.

And seems development abandoned.

Hello

I have a question. Am using mi band tools to track my heart rate every 10 mins. The problem I have is that the mi fit app doesn't track my sleep. Does mi band tools interfere with the mi fit application and prevent it from read my sleep data?

What do you use to track sleep? Any good suggestions?
[General Accessories] tsiftsism:
Hello,

i'm running CM13 (i'm not up to date because of the reboot problems users were facing after CM roms got updated to 6.0.1) and having these issues:

- app can't get synched with Google Fit which i was using till now when i was running or walking. Synchronisation stays forever into synching condition and never ends, so the Google Fit data can't be copied into Mi Fit app

- the bracelet vibrates only when i receive a call. I have set that it also vibrates with 3rd party apps (EvolveSMS, Viber and Facebook Messenger) and there is no vibration. I solved this issue by using Mi Band Notify V2 from Google Play, but i'm wandering why Mi Fit doesn't work

- i can't get Mi Fit to unlock the device without the need of drawing the lockscreen pattern i have set. When i go to the Trusted devices menu, inside the Bluetooth menu there is no device shown

- and finally, i couldn't get the Heart Rate worked. That's because the screen is designed awfully and the button should be pressed for the measurement to get started is barely visible. I had to watch a video on Youtube with a user running the Mi Fit for iPhone, and he was pressing a button which is visible in their app edition!!!

Anyone one running latest CM13 Nighlies and doesn't meet those issues i mentioned.

Thanks in advance.
[General Accessories] s1nnless:
Hi,

I've been having serious trouble with sleep and step data for the past months. There is simply no way for my mi fit to record this data, even with it tracking correctly the steps during the day.

Here is some printscreens from my mifit app. The last consistent data records are from september. Since then, some days are recorded. I've been through several mifit versions as with several miband firmware versions.

Hi,

and now xiaomi released MiBand app 2.0 and the utility (export data from MiBand) not works :(
[General Accessories] 4everAnoob:
Bought it a few weeks ago from ibuygou.com, love it! Yes it is a simple device with limited functionality, but it works great together with my lg g2. Does anyone know if it can be used to unlock non xiaomi phones? I don't think it would be a super useful feature as it would be just as fast as unlocking in a regular way.

Battery life seems great too so far but I need to do more testing.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

.

Not a silly question at all. Yes it works fine without a phone. This is great as you can go running without needing a large phone and it saves the battery big time. It has got a very small memory chip on board enough to store data for at least 24 hours (maybe more)

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

No heart rate monitor unfortunately. But it will estimate calories burnt and distance. How it measures distance I don't know, it hasn't got gps so it must be some kind of magic, however it seems to be reasonably accurate, needs more testing however
[General Accessories] KaylordTheuZ:
Got the band since yesterday, so far so good... Really light, works fine, sleep analysis seems accurate. The only thing that buzzes me off is the LED activation to get a quick sight on daily's progress. Simply does not work, there should be a gesture to activate LEDs, but it does not work 99% of the times :P
[General Accessories] sarkar1990:
Well the LED lights up if you bring your wrist to take a look at your mi band, but it has to be from a wrist down position.

What does not work properly for me is that the calls don't notify me on the band unless the app is in foreground.

I am on an xperia sp with Omnirom.
[General Accessories] KaylordTheuZ:
Just tried... my MiBand buzzes after 3 secs, and the central LED lights up. The phone was in idle, the MI app was not on foreground.
[General Accessories] avalanchej:
Hi

Does Xiaomi Mi Band works with apps like "Sleep As Android" ?
[General Accessories] sarkar1990:
Anybody knows how to reset the band.?

I flashed update to the rom and re installed the app. It retains the previous data, but for some reason, the band blinks 2 led even with 30 steps out of 10000.

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

No. It does not worth with any 3rd party all our service yet.
[General Accessories] quack3d:
I've used the Mi Band for a couple weeks now with my Z3 Compact. It doesn't always vibrate when receiving calls. I think it works if I open the app so it syncs to an active connection first.

Anyways, I wanted to tell you that the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (and Z3) has an option to unlock with Bluetooth connection and that it works with the Mi Band. It is also possible to adjust the sensitivity (range).
[General Accessories] darren1:
MiBand app is now on Play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiaomi.hm.health
[General Accessories] quack3d:
It's been on Play Store for quite some time but there's a newer and translated app in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/xiaomi-mi-band-translated-app-t2863442
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
No, device not discoverable if companion app connected in background.

As we know truly proximity-unlock available only in MIUI v6.

But for other phones near solution is Xposed-module No Lock Home (all other apps non-functional for reasons).

It will enable secure lock-screen if no connection with bracelet e.g. you lost phone = distance over 10 meters.

When Mi Band connected in module settings once tap "plus" icon > Bluetooth (MAC address)

This will fill MAC-address in field below and auto-locking will work.

Experiment with other settings too and don't forget to donate to author of module.

Maybe sometime he will add unlocking based on signal strength from band as in MIUI: I posted feature-request.
[General Accessories] dfxos:
Will it work with S3? All I want is to measure my steps/distance?
[General Accessories] Arnold.Ger:
Try to install the app. If it (the App) runs without Problems, the Band should do it too. (You can skip the pairing of the Band to test the App)

----------------

I found this tweaked App in the MIUI-Forum , works well (Nexus 4) and adding some extra Features.

(Im not allowed to post direkt links for now. Sry)

en.miui.com/thread-53761-1-1.html
[General Accessories] dfxos:
Hello, thanks for your reply. I downloaded the app, but I have another question.

My Android version is 4.3. When I start the app it says to upgrade to 4.4 to support Mi Band, but when I hit confirm, the app starts and I am able to login and see everything.

So my phone supports the app, but won't support the bracelet or I'm wrong? (see the attachs)
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
4.3 is minimum version, from it appears software support of BLE.

To be sure with hardware run BLE Check

If ok – bracelet 90% supported. Only can be some device-related problems.
[General Accessories] KaylordTheuZ:
I'm not totally convinced on that... S3 had (and as far as I know, still has) some problems connecting to ble devices; the only way to understand if it's feabile is to try pairing the band with the app itself.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Here clickable link

Features:

– sharing everywhere

– product comparison to "used" calories

BTW new version of main app released.

Modded version come soon.
[General Accessories] dfxos:
BLE SUPPORTED, so I think I will order one from ibuygou, price dropped from 50$ to 25$ and it seem fair enough :)

PS: I have Casio Bluetooth 4.0 watch (GBX-6900) and it communicates with my S3 with no problems.

[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Very unlikely that China company where blocked Google+, Play, YouTube will for free export precious data about users activity to another foreign corporation.

Google seems just want easily achieve more and more info from 3rd party sources about their customers to show related ads. Imho that's why Fit created.

Mi Band app now can export some data from new Fitness Center only into Chinese service QQ Health Center.

And sharing by default integrated with their local social networks, only Facebook appeared recently (seems to glad international customers).

So imho Xioami bet on own local market and infrastructure and don't need Google.

Hmm, but why Google Fit so necessary?

Main companion app already have nice design and graphs – what needed else?

To me Google Fit per se is not necessary, but I would like some sort of cloud sync.

At least I haven't this far figured out if my exercise (and sleep) data collected from my MiBand is stored somewhere else than in the app on my phone.

Can someone tell me..?

I logged in to account.xiaomi.com but couldn't find any data from my MiBand there.

Does this mean that if I delete my app from my phone, my historical data from the MiBand is lost?

Another feature often being available from cloud storage of fitness data is exchange of data with other apps/devices.

When I used the Jawbone Up (1st generation, crap) I could easily compare my weight development (data from my Withings scale) with my activity data from the Up and food intake logged my another app.

But after 6 days using the MiBand I am very pleased, and it being so new I assume (and believe) we will see much more possibilities and features being made available soon.

[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
All data stored on Xiaomi servers without web access.

Don't worry, if clear delete app / it's data and login all stats will back.

BTW some teaser: on other forum one great user created mod of Mi Band app.

It can notify by vibration about notification from selected apps. Count of vibrates can be configured for each app too.

But that app not have English language for now (translated to ru).

Xiaomi surely never add this due battery saving reasons, so community does.
[General Accessories] quack3d:
Cool. Hope someone translates it soon.

But on that note, does your Mi Bands always vibrate when phone is ringing? If I haven't synced it in a while I get no vibration on incoming calls.

Reposting this here since it's more active apparently:

I just received mine today. AFAIK, it can't be used as a trusted device with a Nexus 5 since it isn't detected nor listed on the bluetooth devices list while it's paired through the app. If it isn't paired through the app, it shows up as 'MI' on the devices list, but you can't connect to it.

If anyone actually got it to work, please state how. I'm so frustrated that I can't use this band with my n5.

Miband dead after app\firmware update

Today I received an app update. Once it was installed on the phone it attempted to update the miband's firmware. It failed and now cant be detected or appear to take a charge. Is anyone else experiencing this? If you haven't I would advise against doing the update.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Updated, all fine.

Also I heard a few problems similar nature from users: bracelet can't be connected, but it's functional (FW bug?); bracelet very quickly discharging (1-2 hours); failing to update FW, but works fine; unable to login into Mi-account due server problems.

2 All

New app version (1.1.712) >> new bracelet firmware (1.0.4.3) brings this changes:

– regular alarm now vibrate 5 times with 10 min interval, maximum 6 repeats (1 hour): more chances to wake up

To stop: tap bracelet / shake hand / walk

– smart alarm first time vibrates as usual 3 times and then reminds by same algorithm as described above

– incoming call vibrations increased: now 10 vs. 4

– option to show notification in status-bar at some bracelet events (incorrectly named "Vibrate for notification")

– app still crashing at fitness-center if achieve previous record
[General Accessories] aotta:
there is also an option "vibrate for notification", but it 's not working for me....
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
It's incorrect translation.

Actually it means showing notification in status-bar at bracelet events, e.g. goal of steps.

You can test it by tapping "Search bracelet".

It can notifiy you by vibration and/or LED about notifications on phone (Android 4.4+)

You can select applications and for each number, times of vibro / glowing led and even any color!

So you will know from what app arrived notification - no need to turn on screen.

Also app have posibility to share results to any social network.
