Finally arrived!!!

Same here, at least I assume it is! Apparently the post man left a note yesterday which was not told to me until this morning. Package is now sitting at home and have to assume it is is. Looking forward to poking about on it later

I've installed the app but can't register for some reason.
I put in my email and password and when I press submit nothing happens. ?

Yeah the website is mental mate...personally I was trying to sign up while the device was in transit so I gave it a couple of days.

Anyone manage to register today? Can i register through website?

Thanks!

Getting a 403 error when trying to create an account on the Miui forums, wonder is this what is preventing me from creating an account on the app.

Very frustrating!

Having an issue that I don't think anyone else has had so far.. which has me worried now... :rolleyes:

Got it today as expected and was all 'yeh!' Anyway, left it to charge just to make sure it was full battery and downloaded the app. When it was all charged, went to sync it with the mi band and... nothing. It searched, but finds nothing. Asks me to make sure the battery is charged (which it is).

Bluetooth is on and it can see the device in the local devices. But I can't even pair it there claiming it doesn't have a correct pin or password.

Has a scurry around their site and found one post up with no answer with the same issue. Have also looked up this thread to see if there was anything. Tried to 'modified' install as well to see if that would do the trick but nothing.

Bit stumped here... if anyone has any suggestions.

If it helps, phone is the Landvo L200 most of us bagged on here before Christmas...

Haven't the foggiest. Even just looked at the gearbest listing for the phone to see what it says for Bluetooth and just says that - Bluetooth
Nothing more expressive

Thinking my problem lies with the Landvo. Managed to get it connected fine to the other half's S4 mini first time. So maybe the Bluetooth in the L200 isn't good enough for it? Be interested to see if any other people can pair the band to an L200.

My issue wasnt the connecting, just the logging in and registering part was pretty seemless after that

Still not sure if I will use this at all long term, but its a nice little gadget to have

Review here says it uses LE. I think it's the same unit.

Cannot get the notifications to work

Get a "Notifications Access is not Activated".

Anyone else had this/how to resolve?

Edit : resolved had to make a change in security settings

Getting the gesture status check to work.

Found this description on a blog which actually works if you want to get the status of the daily goal to work consistently, using the led lights on the band.

" Start in a standing position with your arms and hands handing down by your side. It’s difficult to get it to work while sitting. Then, what you’re going to do is to bring your hands up into a position in-front of you as if you were going to read time off a wrist watch. Swing your hand slightly forward and upward. No need to be fast, but don’t go too slow. Make sure the Mi Band stops slightly elevated at an angle facing you, not parallel to the ground. Then, hold it steady in that position for a few moments, about one to two second, and wait for the LEDs to light up."

The key bit seems to be having the angle of your wrist pointed upwards a bit at the end (i.e. the miband silver bit an an angle pointed upwards on your wrist) and waiting a second. you don't need to move your arm up jerkily or really fast.

Sorry if this is an old question, but does this monitor heart rate/pulse? Is so is it accurate at all?

Unfortunately not but this is around €15, even some €150 ones don't do that!:pac:

Not sure if its been posted here, probably has but there is an updated version of the software on the site that makes the thing vibrate when you get messages\viber\facebook, basically every app on your phone you can turn on or off. its pretty cool.

I have received my band today and there was a yellow sticker attached on the envelope. It says "Goods not fulfilling the conditions prescribed by Articles 9 and 10 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community" Any ideas what it means?
I ordered the band on the 20th from Gearbest and paid $1 for NL post if that has anything to do with it.

Btw, thanks to OP for posting this deal and all the other helpful people in this thread.

your item was fulfilled by NL post but did not originate in EU so duties can still be valid to be added on so this sticker informs destination country of this. However as value not exceeding max allowable value for no duties, no action taken.

No matter what I try I cannot get this to work!

However, every so often the lights go off but when I try the gesture it won't work.

Not a big deal anyway but annoying nonetheless.

What features does the gesture with the wrist provide bar some cool lights (my 4year old thinks so anyway)

I think it shows how much progress towards your daily exercise goal you've made....

Shows you your progress in your daily goal I think.

Example, 1 light, you're 33% completed your goal, 2 lights 66% etc.

couldn't really be arsed doing a video tbh

it's not exactly mega useful in any case.

I'll try with another text description.

standing up, with your arms by your side, arms straight with fingers pointing to the ground, knuckles forward (i.e. can see your knuckles, not palm).
bring arm up and fwd, i.e. bring your arm up keeping it straight. so you your wrist is not bent.
once arm is just below your chest, bend your elbow bringing band twds you as if to going to read a watch.
band is now say 7/8 inches away from your chest at that height.
angle of band is 70 degrees. i.e. your wrist is an angle as if reading a watch.
hold it there for one second.
should flash
