From the time I installed the new 2.0 version all the data stopped being collected and I lost it all. Since updating yesterday the app has been counting steps and I can check the heart rate. The sleep tracking didn't work last night though, and neither did the alarm. It's tracking steps ok though so it should be working on yours, think sleep is broken.

Yes it is tracking steps on a particularl day but not saving them. Find band works fine but just won't save data for some reason.

Yeah you're right, nothing there for me from yesterday. They really messed up with this app. Right now all it really does it check heart rate. Everything else is broken.

Strange that they seem to have updated the android app and still not released it into the play store globally.

Edit: it's not fully translated that's why :-(.

Yeah wouldn't recommend installing that just yet

Not fully translated, odd mismatching fonts makes it look odd

Yes I went on to the main site & their price is the same as Amazon. €14 shipped from China, wait for weeks or €20 , wait a few days, shipped from UK with return to UK warranty - I know which one I would go for.

V1llianous · 31-03-2016 8:28am

I'm finding it annoying that the smart alarm (sleep cycle - waking up to 30 mins before the alarm) has been dropped from the latest updates. Will have to go back to an older version.

Sure the alarm doesn't even work for me at the moment.

Since i updated yesterday even though it was enabled it didn't work - once I disabled and re-enabled it it worked.

markc1184 · 31-03-2016 10:19am

When I bought this I expected to maybe have to charge the battery every week to 10 days. Charged it last night for the first time since I got it. 49 days is some going!

d31b0y · 31-03-2016 10:52am

You sure you have the 1S? Mine lasts about 20 days max. I believe the original one lasted up to two months in some cases.

markc1184 · 31-03-2016 11:26am

Yes it's a 1s with the 3 white LED's. I have turned off a few unnecessary notifications which have helped save the battery. Still vibrates when I have reached certain goals etc and if my heart rate has gone by a set level.

I got over 30 days with my 1s. I'm on iOS so not sure if it makes a difference, and I only get alarm, call and step goal vibrations. I've had the nighttime heartrate option turned on too.

The original MiBand got just under 60 days for me though, still both we're rated as 30 days and I still get that with the 1s. The original went over and doubled that amount.

I think the battery is one of the biggest things for me with this band, I don't know if I'd still be wearing it if I had to charge every week. I would like a flatter, thinner design but it definitely doesn't get annoying to wear.

coldfire1x · 31-03-2016 11:43am

Same here, I got aroiund 40 days after the first charge. Anything over a month is quite good.

d31b0y · 31-03-2016 12:44pm

Ah, I do get a lot of notifications in fairness. I use it in work for emails, calls etc. while having my phone completely on silent - no vibrate etc.
I knew the vibrate function was the most power intensive but I didn't suspect it would make that much of a difference. Anyway for the added functionality of all my notifications, it's worth it for me to have to charge once every ~two weeks+, especially since it seems to take under two hours for a full charge when plugged into a USB wall charger.

Alanstrainor · 31-03-2016 2:44pm

Mine is showing 31% battery after 30 days of usage. I also have it check my HR every hour too, so that's not bad going. Although, I suspect that I will have to charge it in the next few days, the battery drops off towards the end. Can't complain though!

Have the issues with the app been sorted yet? We're all using android phones.

iOS is the main problem, not sure about the Android app. I know it wasn't haven't the same issues but there was a few areas that hadn't been translated from Chinese.

Any shops in Dublin City Centre selling these?

Alanstrainor · 07-04-2016 12:21pm

So I had a thought yesterday about the sleep tracking, and how to improve it. I decided to throw my band into the side of my pillow case last night and see how it recorded my sleep. It seemed far more believable, and recorded what I would think is an accurate sleep cycle. Interesting results.

d31b0y · 07-04-2016 2:31pm

What percentage deep sleep did it register? Supposedly we need to get about 45% deep / REM sleep per night. My Mi Fit app normally registers me at about 35% which I feel would be about right for me due to my habits (eating and drinking tea quite late etc.)
If I've had a boozy night, I get f-all deep sleep.

Out of an 8 hour sleep it registered 2:50, where as when wearing it on my wrist it would tend to register anything from 45 minutes to 1:30. No matter how well I felt I slept it would read too low.

I got the idea from sleep tracking apps that tell you to put the phone in the pillow case to allow it to track movement. I just thought I'd give my experience with my little test anyway!

sweetie · 08-04-2016 9:25am

lost/mispaced my charging cable, aaghh!

RTT · 08-04-2016 9:35am

Are any other IOS users still having problems with the app?
It records my daily activity but does not save the data the following day. My sleep isn't being recorded either.

Yeah it's still broken for me. I've no tracked data for over 3 weeks now. Only thing that works is the heart rate monitoring. Really annoyed as I've only had the 1s a few weeks and now it's useless. They should have it fixed by now, but it should of been better tested before release anyway. I'm not as big of a MiBand fan after this.

Mine is working fine on the latest version of the app from the store - only annoyance is the early bird option on the alarm.

CombatCow · 09-04-2016 5:06pm

Thinking of getting one of these, anybody seen a shop in Dublin selling them?

Also why do you need to resister for an account with your phone number... >_>

RossieMan · 09-04-2016 5:38pm

Highly doubt any shop in Ireland sells these.

Not for this price anyway.

Lenny · 09-04-2016 7:45pm

.. Is there a difference between the mi& the mi 1s versions?

The 1s is a newer version that has a heart rate monitor built in.

Discodog · 10-04-2016 12:51pm

My 1s is on the way. Do any of the apps allow you set notification warning if your heart rate falls below or goes about set limits ?

RossieMan · 10-04-2016 1:20pm

The hr only works on request. You can set it for 30 minutes or that. Its not constantly on.

Yes I have seen apps that let you set the sample frequency. I am asking if you can set warning limit notifications/alarms.

Rockin · 10-04-2016 4:45pm

ANDROID USERS : what's the most stable, the play store app or the 2.0.5 version available on the forum ?

Alanstrainor · 10-04-2016 8:10pm

Miband notify allows you to set hr limits, and it will alert you when you go out of range.

Tom Cruises Left Nut · 14-04-2016 12:07pm

The app updated for me last night, very fancy looking but still cannot use it to unlock phone

New iOS mifit app update available today. I think I found a fix this morning and got some of my data back. Updated the app then this evening and seems to be working fine again now.

Care to share? I updated myself but still doesn't seem to make much difference. Although the days in a row section seems to be working now. One of the most useless parts. Shocking that it's been broken for over a month now with no fix.

I downloaded the app on my wife's android phone, signed in and paired my band with it. This allowed me to update the firmware on the band. Then I connected it back to my own phone and it seems to have kickstarted in into action again. My saved sleep for the past few nights has appeared as well as my steps which had otherwise vanished.

I have the latest firmware and unfortunately it's still not working. I think it's down to the device the app is running on. I've the MiBand 1s and running the latest iOS but it's a 5c so I think that's where the problem lies.

Does anyone find that if you sleep odd hours, it doesn't pick up that you have slept? For example, a few weeks back, I didn't get to bed until about 7am (partying till the wee hours), slept till about 2pm, but it didn't pick up that I had slept?

It's telling me that the code is valid but this order doesn't meet the conditions to use it. Any idea why?

I'm not sure why is telling you that. It worked for me when I posted.
Did you try to order it via the mobile site? Only having this in the cart?
