Yes very same probem that happened about the same time and seemingly same reasons. Was working fine till latest update. Now it's a useless plastic wrist band. Hope someone can help with a solution.
[General Accessories] nix-gibtz:
Hey, my only solution now was to update my Android Firmware. In my case with my Z1C from CM11 (Android 4.4.4) to CM12.1 (Android 5.1). I also wiped my phone, so i don't know if this works too without firmware upgrade - setting your phone to factory default. But ... it is really a lot of work, only to fix this update / firmware bug :rolleyes:

As i said ... Maybe it's enough, to reset your Phone to Factory Defaults.

But i really hate this because you have to reinstall and configure all your Apps again :eek: But nothing else worked for me, so i upgraded my Firmware as well ...

paring problem

In this case you must enter the bluetooth address manually: download from google play the app BlueScan. Let it scan for devices and it will find the address of Mi band 2. Go into MiFit and pair manually. This should work. If you turn off bluetooth, next time pair (connect) via MiFit. It will ask if you want to turn on bluetooth and pair. Mine connects w/o problems and works fine with Google Fit. I don't think that you will need other apps like Miband tools since there is very little (next to nothing) you can tinker with on Mi band2. You have set icons and can't add others not alter the existing ones. Otherwise, for that money an acceptable piece of fitness gear.

Anyone can tell me what the Mi icon stands for? It pops up and vibrates from time to time

Hi,

EBay item was this: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=262536945285﻿

If you see MI logo on back side of watch then it is probably original because my fake one does not have mi logo ....

good luck. :)

Mi Band 2 won't keep time.

Hi there,

I recently purchased the Mi Band 2 but I am having some issues with it and am looking for some answers. It turns out the Mi Fit app is not, in fact, compatible with my tablet that I use at home, despite it being the correct Android version and meeting all the requirements of the Mi Band 2 and Mi Fit app (Both my husband and I thoroughly researched the Mi Band 2 before ordering it). Yesterday when I went to work with my husband, we installed the Mi Fit app on his work tablet with the understanding that the Mi Band 2 would continue to function properly, keep time, etc. for several days without connecting by bluetooth to the compatible tablet. However, it seems that it will not keep time unless it is constantly in close proximity to that tablet. Neither of our smartphones are compatible with the Mi Fit app, although they are supposed to be, and I can't keep his tablet next to me 24/7 to keep my Mi Band 2 functioning properly since he takes it to work every day. I mean, this thing is supposed to work, and it doesn't.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions as to what can be done about it? I realize it was cheap so I could just give up on it without much money lost, but while it was working yesterday I loved it! It has all the functions I need/want, easy to use/set up, comfortable on my small woman wrist (!), and it's a heck of a lot more attractive than the FitBit, plus I can change the bands to match what I am wearing. Also, we live in an area with little to no cell coverage so I never have my phone turned on and I was very keen to use the Mi Band 2 as a watch, since watches always get in the way.

Sorry for the hideously long post, but I really want this thing to work!

Can anyone recommend a good sleep app that works with the Mi Band 2? I'm using the official Mi Fit app, Notify & Fitness (I haven't bought Pro yet, I just got the band yesterday) and then I'm using Health and Sync so it can sync with my S Health. I'm hoping to find an app that will show a little detail instead of just saying 1-hour deep sleep and 7 hours light sleep like the stock app does.

Hi,

I have tried the friend-function, and I can see my friends daily steps and she can see mine. I can also poke her, but when she pokes me, I do not get the pole event in my Mi App. We both have the latest version installed.

What might the poke function prevent from working? Poke means the function to make the friends band vibrate and display a heart-symbol.

Problem with HR was before on older firmware but is fixed. Working fine on my Band2 and i am white, suntanned and black hairy. Black people have problems with Band2 because optical sensor for HR, but others dont have problems

Also, if problem firmware related, people sometimes forgot to reset BT and device after upgrade.

If you worry about real or fake, buy it from GearBest.com (unfortunately $10 discount is over)

if helps, i purchased here from this seller https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...iband-2-Waterproof-Wristband/32676553400.html, also additional strap is original Xiaomi

My only problem is that my Mi Band 2 totally sucks as a pedometer. My step count is way lower than it should be. I'm talking thousands of missing steps. Compared it to Fitbit charge and Google Fit app using the phone in my pocket and at the end of the day Mi Band was a few thousand steps lower than both other things. Even when I didn't have my phone on me for the whole day (left it on my dashboard mount while running some errands) it counted more steps than my band. I hope they update the algorithm soon.

battery life on new firmware

Hi everyone.

I have had my Mi Band 2 for a few weeks now and have been getting about 3 or 4 days on a charge.

3 or 4 days ago it did a firmware update to v1.0.1.39, and snce then I get just over a day on a charge.

Is there anything I can do to improve this, or even roll back to the previous firmware version?

Is there any way of using the Mi Fit app without registering for an account?

- I think it's kind of messed up that I need to register to be able to use the Mi Band the way it was intended...
[General Accessories] bustr85:
You probably find that it's the same if you have a fit bit as well. But there is an app called notify and fitness that doesn't require you to register.
[General Accessories] QNBT:
You could always use a third party app that was designed for the Mi Band 2.

"Notify & Fitness for Mi Band" and "Mi Band Master" seem to be two solid choices. The former app has a ton features (almost everything you can ask for), as a power user you'll come to love it. Except that its layout and design are unattractive and frankly, it's very unintuitive (which is the main reason I'm reluctant to use it). In the case of Mi Band Master, it doesn't have Google Fit sync from what I can tell. That's one of the biggest reason why I haven't fully switched over to this app.

Edit: On another thought, I don't remember if you needed the official app to authenticate your band for it to function with "Notify & Fitness for Mi Band". But for "Mi Band Master" it fully works without the official app.
[General Accessories] gosa:
I do actually have the "Notify & Fitness for Mi Band" installed, but the "problem" (and hence the need for the official app) is that it was bugging me about needing to do a firmware update to get better accuracy (don't remember the exact wording) and it seems only the official app does that.

So - old firmware or yet another account... In the end I went ahead and registered, but I can't say that I'm happy about having had to do that..

No need the newer version can update the firmware too

I think if he registered his account with his phone number and the band firmware was updated to the last version, there shouldn't be problem to login on other device and pair the band again.

I have tested this, with 2 devices, without unpair from one to the other, it just ask to login again in the new device and there aren't issues at all.

A major BUG of MI Fit Band 2 (Not tracking any daytime sleeping data)

To whom it may concern,

why the MI fit band does not detect any sleeping data during the day? in fact all employees do not work in the daytime. however, if you want to promote your MI band as a fitness tracker band, who would believe that it will not detect any sleeping data during the morning time! this is absolutely a major bug. Resolve it by releasing a quick update.
[General Accessories] lirex:
You do realize that this is a third party forum and not the official Xiaomi website, right? Nobody here can resolve it for you.

I also share your opinion that tracking sleep during the day is a "must" feature. It's not that difficult for them to create another tab in the program for day sleep. The down side would be that the band battery will drain faster because it'll have to check during the day if you're asleep.

[General Accessories] eminence84:
Late update: I put the band in the fridge for about two months to make sure it discharges completely. Then paired it succesfully :D
[General Accessories] An Droid:
I had the same issue with loss of pairing - contacting Xiaomi was pointless/useless (even though the band was only 2 months old).

Trying various apps, online suggestions, etc. all failed.

Finally I let it discharge, but noticed if I plugged it in for a mere few seconds and restarted it, it still had the correct time - meaning it hadn't fully discharged.

Since I wanted to try a full reset, I let it sit dead for 2 weeks or so. After plugging it in again, this time it was truly dead and I was able to re-pair it with the Mi Fit app - working ever since.
