Hi everybody, just got the Band today!

Can't figure out how to make it work with notifications - is Lollipop compatible?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Use version from here, follow instruction for it's activation.

Yes, it's compatible with 5.0
[General Accessories] dadam30:
Just got mine today. Do any of you tried using the band with two device? Like my phone and tablet?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Not tested, but definitely it will not work: pairing possible only with one device for one time.

To use with another required unpairing.
[General Accessories] dadam30:
OK thx !
[General Accessories] dadam30:
Anyone got a way to use truste device on Lollipop for now ?

The band is really cool, with trusted device it will be so cool!

Got the orange One btw, pretty cool. Pic attached.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
It's not possible due specific of connecting BLE bands.

Starting 1.1.861_283 MiBand support native SmartLock feature!

Or use Xposed-plugin (when will be available for ART) No Lock Home
[General Accessories] dadam30:
There is no alternative to xposed? Well it will be a long wait for Xposed on art... Thx bonobo.
[General Accessories] ste_mir:
Those instructions aren't good for lollipop, they moved the settings away from the "security" tab. Now it is in "Notification and Alarms" or something like that (I have the phone in italian so I don't know the exact translation).
[General Accessories] dadam30:
ste_mir I just find the option and activate it, but It does not work for me.
[General Accessories] nips:
I've just recently got mine and have been using it for a few days now, but for the life of me I can get this to work. Everything else works without a problem but this gesture does nothing!

Frustrating :-/
[General Accessories] Alex_GP:
For me it works like this:

Hold you hand next to your body, then lift it up to your face, just like looking closely at your watch and hold it there for 3-4 seconds.
[General Accessories] nips:
Ha ha wow worked first time, thanks!!!

Can't believe how close I had to bring my wrist to my face.
[General Accessories] ATZ-007:
Received my Mi Band today... I'm using Nexus 5 with Android 5.

Three questions, if I may.

1. How do I turn auto unlock feature on, where phone doesn't require pin or pattern when connected to the Band?

2. Can multiple people use the same band? I.E. if I setup app on my wife's phone and few days she uses my Band, would that effect my profile apart from data missing on my profile for that day.

3. Is there any firmware update for the Band? According to the app, current firmware version is 1.0.4.3.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
1. No native way to do this. I posted above: "wait for Xposed on ART and use plugin No Lock Home"

2. Very likely yes, test it and please share results before gaining a lot of statistic (because maybe you loose it).

3. Bracelet FW usually upgrades with new version of app. Latest for now yours, 1.0.4.3. New version comes every Monday.
[General Accessories] crucialcolin:
Very tempted to pick one of these up myself. I do wonder even at its low price if its worth it however since my nexus 5 already has a pedo built in. The only real advantage seems like sleep tracking. I wonder if step counting would be more accurate with the band though.
[General Accessories] dadam30:
I have compared google fit with the band. If you always have your phone in the pocket the band and google fit are quite close. Today less than 5%
[General Accessories] ATZ-007:
Would multiple Mi Band close by cause any problem ?

I was thinking of buying another Mi Band for my wife, so I was wondering if my one is connected to my phone and her one is connected to her phone and both Bands and phone close by, would that cause any problem?

Also, how to I enabled "Sleep-cycle smart alarm"? All I can see is a normal alarm option.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
I know a couple with 2 Mi Bands: obiviusly no problems, each connects to own phone and ingnore other.

Just like BT-headsets.

At editing time above one switch "Smart alarm".

Also it works correctly, really helps to wake-up easily.
[General Accessories] ATZ-007:
Thanks.... Is this the Early Bird Alarm?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Yes.

I have localized app, so by mistake said "Smart alarm" as translated.

Strange name, BTW.
[General Accessories] ATZ-007:
Steps count doesn't go over 8400... is this a common problem?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
First hear about this.

Try cancel pairing and perform it again.

Anyway I sure it's temp bug and for next day all will be fine.
[General Accessories] Badmama30:
Hi Guys,

Any 3'rd party apps that work with this Band?
[General Accessories] ATZ-007:
Don't know of any third party app however there is a modified version, link below.

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=53761&extra=&page=1&mobile=2
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
No open API.

But app support WeChat: you can create leaderboard with your friends, who walked more for day.

And it support some Chinese QQ Health Center

Also if you need I can upload Tasker task that export statistics for day in variables to use for own needs.
[General Accessories] gabrielbsb:
I use my miband only to sleep and I've noticed the smart alarm function doesn't works

It always wake me up at the time I have set up, even if I am awake before it

Anyone experiencing this problem?
[General Accessories] Alex_GP:
I'm pretty sure it's an issue on your end. Try re pairing the band.
[General Accessories] Arnold.Ger:
I dont have this problem, is it thinking you are in deep sleep before it is waking you on time?
[General Accessories] dadam30:
Here, the new version of the tweaked app allow Lollipop trusted device.

http://en.miui.com/thread-53761-1-1.html
[General Accessories] eranda84:
is this works with Galaxy mobiles?
[General Accessories] IL_DEMONICO:
i've got a wifi only acer iconia a1 810 tab.

just like other people with wifi only tablet, the os bluetooth device search works just fine, but the app doesn't recognize the bracelet.

as far as u know, i scorrect to say that the app fully works and connect to the tracker only on devices with gsm module and not with wifi only?

[MENTION=3554610]erenda84[/MENTION] Galaxy note II LTE here, works fine.
[General Accessories] nips:
I have wifi only Nexus 7 (2013) no problems connecting for me.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
2 All

As usual at last Monday released new version of app: 1.1.861_283

This was mentioned earlier.

Now it supports device unlock on Android 5.0 Lollipop using native Smart Lock feature.

I reminds that on 4.4 you can achive the same using Xposed module No Lock Home

Also updated tweaked app with notifications support: it's here

Now you can specify time when selected app will not distrub you.
[General Accessories] dadam30:
Yeah that's great. Waiting for notify version. Really great tweaked app. How do you do to update the app bonobo ? Uninstall then reinstall but did I need to unpair my band first ?
[General Accessories] Arnold.Ger:
I tryed the smart unlock with my Nexus4. The Band is unlocking my screen, but the range is huge. I placed it at the other end of my flat, 10 meter (10,XX yards) away with walls in between, still unlocking my phone. Someone got the same experience?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
There is fresh Notify version too.

Deleting / unpairing unnecessary.

Just install new app over current (if previous tweaked too).
[General Accessories] dadam30:
OK thx. Btw trusted devices works great.
[General Accessories] Arnold.Ger:
How big is your unlockrange? And witch device you are using?
[General Accessories] dadam30:
I'm using a nexus 4. The range is more than 10 meters.
[General Accessories] ased10:
Interesting
[General Accessories] vjmcdonnell:
I am thinking of getting this and just have one question,

Does it vibrate for all noticications, such as FB messenger and the like. As this is the feature id be getting it for as I have my phone on silent in work.

How would it compare to this,

http://www.carphonewarehouse.ie/Product/sony-smart-band-swr10/239146/4.42

Thanks
[General Accessories] Arnold.Ger:
It can vibrate for every app that sends notifications. You can chose seperately witch apps you like to get vibrations for. You can change light and vibration options like time and repedence too. Dont know the sony band.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Of course with modified app (here) you can set to vibrate for FB or any other app: number, time of vibro; number, time, color of flashing LED.

Also you can specify time when it will be on – to not disturb at night.

It will work when phone in silent mode.
[General Accessories] t3st3r123:
Hello Guys,

I just received my Mi Band and wanted to connect it to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (since my phone only got Android 4.2) I got the Mi Band App installed but connecting doesn't work. I can't even find the band in the Bluetooth scan. . My PC can't find the band either.

The battery is full (3 green LEDs when charging).

Does anyone know how I can connect the band?
[General Accessories] dadam30:
The band id not compatible with Wi-Fi only tablet. Sorry about that man.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Bluetooth 4.0 / Low Energy / BLE which totally required for Mi Band have support in Android since 4.3

Obliviously, hardware must have 4.0 too.

Wiki says that Tab 3 10.1 have 4.0 chip.

Maybe your tablet have custom ROM's (CyanogenMod) where 4.0 enabled.

Oh, you have 7.0 with BT 3.0

Umm, why?
[General Accessories] t3st3r123:
Thanks for your answers. I think I found my problem. My Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 only got bluetooth 3.0 according to wikipedia. I thought I read somewhere that it got Bluetooth 4.0. -.-
[General Accessories] SnZ:
Canon somebody post latest legit firmware number?

Thanks in advance
[General Accessories] t3st3r123:
I'm thinking about buying the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G. Does the Mi Band autounlock function work with the Note 4G?

If not, does the Note 4G get an upgrade to Android 5.0? With Android 5.0 the unlock function works with every phone, doesn't it?
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
Bracelet FW: 1.0.6.0

App version: 1.1.961

1. Yes, because it have MIUI v5, it's also compatible.

2. Yes.
[General Accessories] davidovski_4:
Hi, sry for my bad english.

I want to know some information about mi band. I still don't have phone with bluetooth 4.0, but my brother does. I wanna know can i connect on his phone and later watch that online on mi cloud? Or can i connect somehow mi band to my computer with bluetooth or somehow? Or does anyone have some other idea? tnx
[General Accessories] N3tMast3r:
unable to use app

Hello,

I just bought the Miband. However, I am not able to sign in the app. I am getting a "can't sign in" error. I have tried a lot of versions of the app and also made 4 different accounts (with emails and phone numbers). I also tried on different smart phones (all running android 4.4.4 and 5.0). No luck!!

Please help.

Thank you
[General Accessories] defsix:
Yup, getting the same error too. I think it's a server error. I'm not even getting text messages when I tried to create a new account. After a good bit of searching on the Xiaomi forum it appears others are having the issue.

However I can't tell is it just new accounts or all accounts effected.
[General Accessories] leontai.9222:
If you didn't register your account with a China phone number, you'd have to include the + sign and your international country code (eg. +44 for the UK)

I had the same problem too, until I did that.
[General Accessories] SnZ:
Nice, but the case is they AWS instances gone mad, so this is not to blame users I guess. We can only wait lol.
[General Accessories] Bonoboo:
1. No, stats available only from app.

2. Yes, if you have built-in BT 4.0 or tested compatible BT-dongle.

Then install in virtual machine Android x86 and MiBand app.

It's hard and result ungaranted, some users successfully performed it.

Yep, problem with Xiaomi servers, not first time.
[General Accessories] N3tMast3r:
ok guys, NOW IT IS WORKING! it was just a server thing.... good to know
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chrisporter:
Right, I got my Vario II a couple of days ago. Its great, but I was wondering something - could I cut to fit my Oyster card to sit underneath the battery cover? Anyone tried this? Does anyone know how much I can trim off of the card? Would be great to just get the phone out to swipe with!

Cheers

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ScottC:
I can't even fit a spare 1Gb MicroSD under it without the cover bulging, so I doubt an Oyster card would fit without some major mod's. You can't trim much (if any) off it, the RF coils are pretty much all the way around the edges of the card. Great idea though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chrisporter:
I just put my Oyster card next to the SD spacer(don't have a Micro SD card yet) and they are about the same thickness. I thought it might be the case with the coils, which is pretty annoying as the card really isn't far off fitting in. Any ideas if there are any pics showing a kinda 'xray' of the Oyster?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dajtw:
haha, you copying the Japanese on this? They too have the equivalent of Oyster cards (Suica, much more advanced with online usage if you have a card reader attached to your computer) which can be integrated into their mobiles. In fact, I do wonder if the technology of the 2 systems are teh same

I'm sure there must be a way to cut up the oyster card so that only the data bit remains? Anyone got a spare fiver to dissect an oyster card?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] neilh:
Oyster is a standard Mifare card.

Although I've not seen "inside" the oyster - a mifare card has a coil slightly larger than the size of a 50p in the centre - with the chip either inside or outside of the coil.

N
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sidd:
Right fellows I have tried to search nearly an hour to find-out what’s & where the chip is inside the Oyster but no joy, finally I have tried one another card to just give it a try and I am sadly declaring that it is NOT possible at all to sandwich the oyster card between the battery & its cover (I have tried on my XDA-IIi -- Alpine), even though I have tried to press the cover so hard that the sliding latches could break in a split second. Check the pictures.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sparkyxda:
So why would you want to take out your highly desirable phone in a crowded tube station?

Do you need the insurance money?

Maybe you could attach credit cards to a lanyard, hang them from the phone and have your PIN number tattooed to your forehead.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sidd:
Anyway I am carrying my oyster in the card slot of my XDA-IIi's leather pouch and touching the pouch on the scanner every day, works fine for me.

I think this is more secure from the prying eyes and for the scratch protection of the device.

Sidd
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thenewshaft:
i would say yes, with some modification. check out this link if you are still interested. I plan to do this for my Hero in the coming weeks

[Edit] I've a backup saved on the pc, how can i restore that backup? (it was a backup of CM11) shall I zip the whole folder with the img files or shall I copy the whole folder into the phone?

I've tried both but when I choose "restore" from the TWRP nothing shows up :(

Hi all,

some months ago I've flashed the kitkat 4.2 rom successfully.

Yesterday I've got the message that a system update was available, (kit kat 4.4 the latest one)

I've downloaded it, then the phone rebooted to itself loading the TWRP recovery page therefore not installing the update.

I am now stuck and I don't know what to do.

- If from the TWRP menu I choose to reboot the phone, it loads fine but after a minute it reboot itself trying to install the OTA, rebooting again to TWRP menu

- I've tried to flash the OTA via TWRP from the cache folder but it fails.

Can you help me please?

Andrea :crying:

.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsgb:
You can apply OTA patch

only

with full stock (also stock recovery, etc.)

To return to stock, read this thread.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaxor:
Hi Andrea,

I got the same issue.

You can go into TWRP, then wipe the dalvik/cache and cache partitions (about 4 secs).

then reboot your phone, it will update all your app again but you should be fine.

Hope that helps.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazypixel:
Hi,

I forgot to mention that it was the stock rom,

how can I apply the ota patch only?

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adi9981:
Hi. I decided to take my S3 Mini on the warranty because my screen was showing some weird green bars on the left side. Today, it showed another big bar, they aren't visible on black. I have the stock ROM installed, no custom recovery (I think, because I flashed a stock through Odin) and my CBC is 1 IIRC. What's the fastest way to reset the CBC in my case?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gw|n:
1. flash custom recovery

2. flash zip with root binary and app

3. instal triangle away

4. reset CBC via triangle away

5. unroot via root app

6. flash stock recovery

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Debumt:
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 SM-T520.

i just tried the new Tab S 10.5 and it is way smoother than the Tab Pro 10.1, has anyone else noticed this?

Now because these devices are pretty much identical except for the extra 1gb of RAM in the Tab S, so if I increase the RAM in my Tab Pro using Roehsoft Ram Expander could I expect my Tab Pro 10.1 will become smoother?

Also would I be able to flash the Tab S ROM on my Tab Pro? would it work without any problems? In case it has more optimized software?

Kind feel gipped that both devices are essentially the same yet the Tab S is miles smoother.

Thanks Guys
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] james_lpool:
Both Tab S and Tab Pro have 3gb ram don't they.

I have the 12.2 Tab Pro and that says it as 3gb ram
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ritchea:
Only the 12.2.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] RiverCity.45:
10.1 has 2 GB.

Sent telepathically to my SM-T520
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] fletch33:
bought the 10.1 at BB on release day and have been there several times lately looking at the S and besides tthe screen size and improved screen (this doesnt mean that much to me) i am very pleased with the 10.1 and they seem to behave the same with all my looking.

i dont think having their rom would change anything and honeslty my 10.1 isnt laggy and has replaced my laptop for everything but for work.

i am certain that we will see some kind of S Pro or something hit later this year when the holidays hit and i will jump then.

i turned on Developer Options and set animations to 0 as i always do on everything and mine runs smooth.

Sammy has just this week firgured out how to actually get 6 of the 8 cores working together at once and we havent seen that update and probabaly wont for some time and that will make a huge difference.

also if like me you are on the web a lot with all that white background you will get better battery life on 10.1 but if your a video person with all the black background time you gain with the S.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] colts187:
I think all new android devices run the smoothest when they are new. As you download apps u can't help but have stuff running in the background. Android devices tend to slow down the longer you have them based on my experience.

I imagine demo mode is probably meant to run as fast as possible so that buyers aren't turned off by lag etc. If you have lag on your pro it has to have something to do with an app pulling too much ram. However, that extra 1gb of ram probably makes a difference. I know it did with my note 3 vs every other Samsung device I've owned. My pro 8.4 doesn't lag but it doesn't feel as fast as my note 2014 did while I had it. Software optimization has never been Samsung's strong suit.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] locutusx:
To be honest the best thing you can do to fight lag on the tab pro is dump the horrible Magazine UX launcher. Samsung really sucks as a software company and it really shows with Magazine UX. Google OTOH makes some of the best software and it shows with the Google Now Launcher.

BTW I tried really hard to force myself to use magazine ux for 6 weeks after I got my tab pro. What a waste of time. I was wondering why my battery always ran down fast, and the app drawer was laggy etc. But it turned out it was the god-awful Touchwiz/Magazine UX bullsht the whole time. Switched to GNL and it was like i had a new tablet (again!)

Seriously if anyone is complaining about lag and is still using Touchwiz, I'd say that the solution is right in front of their nose, lol
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Obing:
What should I do if I want to switch to GNL..just install it from play store ?

Do I have to uninstall the Touchwiz as well ?

Can I go back to Touchwiz if don't like the GNL at a later time ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] locutusx:
no, u can only install it from the play store if you have a Nexus device. for Galaxy Tab devices, you need to sideload the apk.

see here:

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-drive-google-now-launcher-and-play-services/

No need to uninstall Touchwiz. it stays on your device, but it won't be always running if you switch to GNL.

of course you can switch back later if you want. btw if u decide to switch to GNL, i suggest removing all icons/widgets from your Touchwiz home screens and re-adding them to your GNL home screens.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Obing:
Thanks and will try soon..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
I can only speak of the Tab Pro 8.4. But it was laggy on TouchWiz, and going to a CM based ROM made it much smoother. Honestly, I don't see any of the TouchWiz features (with exception of MultiWindow) to be of any added value; and I'm hardly missing TouchWiz one bit (again, MW is all I miss).
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] fletch33:
personally i use All Share, Hancom Widget, WatchON, love Samsung Calendar, SideSync, love the Email, and a few others i am sure i am forgetting. i use to despise TW and all layovers but TW has grown on me. like my Note 3 i will take the custom TW based Roms and use Root and Xposed to customize it the way i like versus trying to force back CM like Roms to give me the TW features back i like which never works right when going that direction.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
Yup, I completely recognize its a matter of personal taste, how you use your device, etc. I kinda had a love/hate relationship with WatchON. The rest, I either didn't have much use for, or didn't like them. I actually stayed stock on my Note 8 for the year I used it (broke the screen), but I am the opposite of you on the Tab Pro (how TouchWiz grew on you), I was fine with TouchWiz before and for whatever reason now I can't stand it. I was using CleanROM for a couple months. But now I'm on Codename Lungo (CM based) and can't imagine going back to a TouchWiz ROM.
