Very nice thread. :good:

Force stop MiBand app and start BLE Device Monitor

Walk in flat, tapping Scan / Stop and follow changing signal level – lower dbm value is better = bracelet closer.

problem pairing DG310

I have DG310 which has BT v4.0 but i can not pair it with mi band. In bluetooth settings of the phone I see the band as MI but when i use the app to pair it says to make sure the band is charged. I just charged it fully (3 green LED) but after that no LED is on at any point and no ability to pair. Any suggestions?

Hi,

just received my band and setup some application for notification, WhatsApp, SMS Gmail and phone call notification.

When I receive a mail, i got a single vibration and notification on the phone for an incoming call from mii app, then i got vibration pattern I set on my band.

It happen for all notification i received configured on the app. I have the last Notify version.

Any Help?

Marco
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
In app > Settings disable the only switch. Can't said it's name because I use localized app.

It's throw in notification bar reasons for what bracelet vibrated: goal reached, call, alarm.

Because Notify-version uses command-trigger of "incoming call" to make bracelet vibrate app shows it.

Hope you understand me.

What do you think of that ?
[General Accessories] pgptheoriginal:
Yesterday I received 2 mi bands, one for me and one for a friend of mine.

I really can't complain about the functionalities of this band, it doesn't have plenty of sensors, but does well what it's supposed to: I am particularly impressed by its accuracy in detecting the sleep time (and depth).

The only slight disappointment is that the band must be connected to the phone when the alarm rings (vibrates, in this case), otherwise it would skip it without notification (not even one coming from the phone).

My worries weren't related to the power consumption. In fact, I'm used to put my phone in airplane mode during nighttime, but if I do so, the phone turns Bluetooth off, therefore I have to remember to switch it back on, otherwise I'll miss my morning alarm ?

Apart from the alarm and notification functions, it works perfectly even without being constantly connected to the phone, since it stores data and lets you synchronize it with your device when the connection is reestablished.

[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Nope, BT isn't required for alarm.

Bracelet have it's own clock and memory as you said.

My phone always in airplane mode during night and alarm working great.

As for keeping BT on after enabling Airplane mode: this can be easily resloved with root.

Install Terminal Emulator

Enter: su

Give root-rights

Copy and paste this:

settings put global airplane_mode_radios cell,wifi,nfc,wimax

Then reboot.

BTW you can not sync at least 10 days (one user performed experiment) and all collected data will be in app.

Thank you Bonoboo!

You're right, alarms work even the band is disconnected from the phone! I thought it didn't because it actually starts vibrating 30 seconds after the time it's set for, and when I first tried it I didn't wait that long.

[General Accessories] pgptheoriginal:
After numerous attempts, I came to a conclusion: either my Mi Band has some issues (maybe involving the modified app I installed to enable notification support), or the gesture isn't properly recognized when using the right hand. Being left handed, I suppose I'm one of the few people who wear the Mi Band on the right wrist, and even though I selected this option in the app settings, the gesture could be buggy, or just less sensitive than the one with the left hand.

Exactly, that option only for correct handling gesture.

Mi Band is simply amazing

Guys I'm using this Mi Band since a month and have no issues with it. Battery is still 35% after a heavy use for a month with custom notifications like Whatsapp, Facebook etc.

For those who are unable to see the progress on mi band just place the hand straight down and bring it towards your face(similar gesture as you look in your wrist watch).

All the data is stored in the band & when you connect to a BT device it syncs. BT doesnt need to be kept on for fitness tracking but you do need for notifications like incoming call, messeges etc.

The modded version of the Mi Band app is here>>http://en.miui.com/thread-53761-1-1.html

I use notification version.

Is there any app or mod to use the unlock feature in other android but with limited range? With xiaomi, from what i understood, it will unlock when you hold the phone in your hand or are pretty close to it, but on other androids with some of the apps/mods i have seen, it will unlock while bluetooth is in range, so if im in one room and the phone on another, it will still unlock.

The reason i wanted the miband more is for this smart unlock, but with that wide of range is not as interesting.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
On Lollipop it's native feature (Smart Lock), early added support it's in MiBand app.

But on KitKat you can use Xposed module No Lock Home
[General Accessories] griffin_1:
I have tried no lock home but unfortunately it doest let us set a range to be close to the phone for bt to unlock. It's the same on lollipop from what I understand, as long as it's in range it unlocks, so I can be in the next room and it will still unlock
[General Accessories] pgptheoriginal:
After a a couple of weeks of continuous usage, I can say that this device is more than a "gadget": it is not the funny, useless thing I thought it would be when I got it :D

For less than 20€ ( I paid 38€ for two Mi Bands, with a national two-days delivery in Italy), you get an amazing bracelet which notifies incoming messages and calls, and lets you completely disable every notification sounds from your phone, which often turn out to be uneven in various situations.

Moreover, it works perfectly as a morning alarm and lets you unlock your phone without entering a code.

All these features would justify the price of the Mi Band "per se", but none of them is the main one of this band: I found the sleep tracking very accurate, since it never detected that I was sleeping when I was awake, nor viceversa. The pedometer is very useful and incredibly accurate as well, and when I checked the distances covered with Google Maps, it always showed numbers which were very close to the ones detected by the Mi Band.

On the other hand, and this is the only flaw I noticed to date, this smart band tends to add steps when doing other activities rather than walking. For example, the various movements made while cooking, or while cleaning surfaces, are often accounted as distances walked (or run). I guess this limitation is due to the small number of sensors the band can rely on: if it packed a GPS module, there would surely be major improvements in accuracy, but such sensor would imply compromises on battery life, dimensions and weight, and final price, so I can definitely settle for this ;)

Another aspect I'd like to point out is about the dimensions of the Band: it is so small, and lightweight, that you can easily forget you are wearing it. I saw and tried other pricier smart bands from other manufacturers (Jawbone and Garmin) but I would never wear them all day.

Bottom line: buy it if you're interested in a general purpose smart band, but plan to use all of its features, because as a mere pedometer it lacks the accuracy you'd expect.

[General Accessories] wonderpotato:
I wasn't going to give up my moto 360 and it felt weird on my right hand so this was the best option for me!

I did this as soon as I received the band so I don't have any data of it on my wrist but it seems pretty consistent with my activities. The gaps between movements are when I'm on my computer not moving. Kinda creepy how it knows exactly when I fall asleep and wake up too!

Does anyone know if the devs that mod the app (or anyone) is working on limiting the bt unlock range for non-miui devices? On miui, somehow, the unlock works when the phone is in your hand/the miband is very close but the apps/mods i have found so far work but for the whole bluetooth range and not a more limited one and that's what would be interesting and useful to have in non-miui phones
[General Accessories] macho3215:

Works with non MI devices on lollipop.
[General Accessories] griffin_1:
Lollipop does have that feature now and there is also a xposed module that lets us non-lollipop users unlock with bluetooth devices (and even wifi). The "problem" with both of these methods is that it doesn't limit the range that the miband/bt device needs to be and so i could be in the next room and the miband would still be in the bluetooth range the phone could be unlocked, unlike official xioami roms where the miband needs to be very close to the phone

Humm anyone feel like if Bluetooth on phone left on battery decreases significantly? I mean battery is great on the band, but phone is going down maybe 2-3% per hour. Using it mainly for the unlock and notification feature...
[General Accessories] longfeng:
It is likely to use some battery but Xiaomi claimed it is reasonable.
[General Accessories] dadam30:
The notification functions are likely to use a little amount on battery but honestly this is not significant.
[General Accessories] pgptheoriginal:
I don't think so... Today I slept for more than 2 hours, but the app didn't detect any sleep.

It seems it's designed to detect night sleep only.

But it makes sense to me, because the Band couldn't detect the differences between nap and office work, in my opinion.
