Bluetooth Fitness Band €13.90 Delivered

I downloaded the app on ios, however, I can't seem to create an account, keeps telling me the image verification is wrong, despite it not been wrong.

For a few quid more the sony smartband is the only way to go ....nfc bluetooth and waterproof

The miband has bluetooth (of course) and is waterproof. Also it has a battery life of 30 days and there's a modified app knocking about that has lots of customisation options. One of which is the ability to enable notifications from any app.

Sony one not getting great reviews whereas this one is.
Stick a NFC sticker to the back of this and hey presto that's covered.!!

Mine arrived today (ordered from Banggood earlier this month).
You'll need to set up an account with Xiaomi before using, just a couple of verification steps to confirm details.
Two modified apps available:
Non lollipop version with notification support - works fine with one plus one.
Standard version no notifications but works with lollipop - works fine with nexus devices.

The non notification version of the app works with lollipop smart unlock. Once the band is paired to device you don't need to use pin/pattern to unlock screen.

Now if they can just release a lollipop version with support for notifications!

I ordered this from last week from an AliExpress seller who, slightly annoyingly, after paying told me that he was on holiday until Jan 5!!

Anyway I got impatient and picked up the Sony SWR10 that's €20 in CPW. I suppose I should cancel the order for the Mi Band...the only real difference I can see is the extra battery life that Mi Band claims....correct? I don't suppose anyone else out there has them both and can advise me?

Did you ever get it working? The app still appears in the App Store but won't download for me. Says it's no longer available.

When you registered your mobile number you did use +353 & not 00353 ?

That's where many people are having difficulty.

This +1. It defaults to wrong option. Manually change it.

I found it easier to create and verify the Xiaomi account in phone than on tablet. You'll need to verify both email and phone number.

Should have said that I got the app to download the next day and registered no problem.

Went ahead and ordered the band and got email notification this morning that it had been posted. Now the wait for the arrival.:)

Will give a quick update about the IOS interface and compatibility when its arrived and had it a few days.

Does anybody know if this supports changing track on spotify? I know the Sony one does, but will go for this instead if it can skip tracks in spotify.

Maybe someone who has it can have a look?

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how it could as there's no controls and no display.

No not possible to control playlists. As mentioned it does not have the feature/hardware.

Is there anyway to get my RedMi Note (Jellybean) to work this????

The Sony SWR10 band is much the same and can be used to control spotify. Tap once to start music, tap twice to skip track.

I was gonna say update the ROM but there are all based on 4.2 unfortunately.
http://www.needrom.com/category/xiaomi/redmi-note/

The app does say 4.0 & up but I've seen 4.4 listed elsewhere as a minimum requirement.

Xiaomi do make both products so you'd think they would be compatible.

You'd think so, as the S1 before the Note is compatible.

RossieMan · 14-01-2015 11:58am

its 4.4 and up unfortunately.

anybody got their miband from gearbest yet?
I ordered it Dec 27th.
They didn't managed to dispatch until Jan 7 which is very poor in terms of processing time, even for these chinese sites.
Still hasn't arrived.

Working under the assumption you went for the free 'slow' delivery... It can take up to three to four weeks for delivery (that includes the slow dispatch). That's what I and others found before Christmas with the Landvo deal.

Use their tracking number for its purpose to find it out where she is.

yabadabado · 14-01-2015 1:58pm

I used the "slow" delivery and it took 2 days shy of 5 weeks to arrive.I would advise anyone thinking about buying this to pay the extra for the NL post(I think its a dollar).I ordered another item form gearbest using NL post on xmas day and it arrived on the 12 January .

hdl · 14-01-2015 2:55pm

I order this on Sunday, paid the extra 1.99 for a tracking number, and got a notification to say it was dispatched yesterday. Tracking no.still not showing any info yet, other than dispatched. Hoping it doesn't take a month to arrive anyway!

I paid for singpost I think - is that 'slow' one?

If you used NL post option I dont think it shows up until it arrives in Holland.You will have it within 3 weeks.

the slow one is free,so looks like you paid for a quicker option.
