There was an intention to limit the scope of release to basic support of all the most important features. This goal was met. You can bind band, see steps, calories, distance and sleep information, measure heart rate, configure alarms and other settings.
Owners of older bands can be affected by this update also. Please, feel free to report any issues you may see.
Some work regarding secondary and new features is still not completed, which will be resolved in next updates. We decided to postpone these fixes so the scope of changes will be smaller and less UI work should be coded and tested for this release.
Let's go through future plans and current limitations for Mi Band 2:
1. Configure up to 10 alarms.
At the moment you can configure three. We need to do a major refactoring on this feature in the app, so it will handle more alarms.
2. Configure displayed items on screen (like distance, calories, etc.).
3. Configure "lift-wrist-bright-view" behavior.
4. Configure activity reminder.
5. Firmware update.
So, please, don't be upset regarding these features, you will get them in next updates.
Also, there are some questions on how the app should treat calories and distance calculated by Mi Band 2. New band does it on its own, so you see values on the screen, but in our application, we also calculate these stats and we suspect that our calculations are better. We take into account your temp of movements for each minute, so the result should be more precise. Having two different values in the app and in the band can be confusing, so right now it's still an open question. What do you think?
From now our major focus will be on notifications for all versions of Mi Band.
Have great last weeks of summer!
UPDATE 1.16.1: Improved synchronization of 12/24 hour format, fixed for some regions. Just open "device" page and time format on your band will be synchronized with your phone.
UPDATE 1.16.2: Fix of synchronization issues for some timezones.
great :) now only need Band 2
ReplyDeletelol
Deletetnx, waiting for notifications
ReplyDeleteMine wouldn't pair with Myband2... However some how it started working
ReplyDeleteGreat job !
Great work. Already did buy PRO version. Please add settings to change time format. I want 24h format but its in 12h format. Thanks
ReplyDeleteUpdate your firmware and the time format will auto change to 24h.
DeleteAlready have 1.0.0.11
Deleteuse android device to upgrade firmvare
DeleteThe newest is 1.0.0.23
DeleteI borrowed my friend and updated, the newest vers i got is 1.0.0.11
DeleteWhen sync on android device, the 24h format is set correctly. So it is problem of windows app. It would be great to have manual switch. It does not offer me new version of firmware
DeleteYou are right.
DeleteMine has switched to 12h after synced on Bind Mi Band.
Really need a manual time switcher.
I just did an update to 1.16.1 but problem with format is still there. We really need manual switch.
DeleteI updated to 1.16.1 and the 24h format is back.
DeleteWell done!
Not for me sadly :( Please, do a manual switch....
Delete> Having two different values in the app and in the band can be confusing, so right now it's still an open question. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI think you should remain your values, but create a button, say "raw data", wherein it would be possible to have a look to the bracelet values.
When will the SMS / WhatsUpp function alarms
ReplyDeleteafter W10M Anniversary update... be patient...
DeletePro bought. Keep the good work!
ReplyDeleteMy app doesn´t count steps, it always shows 0 steps. All other functions (hear rate measurement and alarms) work well. Device is 1.0.0.2. What to do? I have pro version.
ReplyDeleteMy Band 2 only started counting steps after binding it with an android phone and installing the last firmware.
Deleteupgrade firmware with android or iOs device
Deletein shop windows phone (windows phone 8.1) downloaded the old version 1.15 ((((How to get the new version 1.16 ????
ReplyDeleteGreat !!! Keep the good work on !!!
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the notifications.
Greets.
I updated my mi band 2 through mifit, but my last vers of my bind is 1.0.0.16, so, what can i do in this situation??
ReplyDeleteSorry for the -slightly- offtopic question:
ReplyDeletesleep analysis: how does the app decide if I was in deep sleep or in light sleep? Does the band decide from firmware the decision, and only sends the simple DEEP/LIGHT information to the app? Basically, what I want to know, if I can see the raw heart rate measurements (values) during my sleep. So I can see if my heart rate was too high during the night and thats why the band considers I didnt sleep deep.
I have to keep restarting my phone to get it to Sync. I'm using a Nokia 640XL LTE with Latest Windows 10. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteUninstall the software and Bluetooth off, install the software , Bluetooth on, pair and connect, then open Bind Mi Band and that's all
DeleteGuys, please, send all your support-related questions on email. Makes it much easier to process and follow-up every case. Don't forget to provide which band you have, firmware version and version of app (if you write email by link from the app, this info will be filled in automatically *woohoo*)
ReplyDeleteFor those, having 12/24h format issues, please, attach your regional settings info.
Also, there are some issues with Store, so 8.1 devices are not getting the update. I'm trying to reach MS regarding this.
Thanks.
P.S. Once more: use email for support. Can be found in contacts section.
Mi Band 1 not found anymore by program. Connected to Bluetooth but not seen by new program.
ReplyDeleteUninstall and reinstall...same thing.
Anyone is like me? What to do? Thanks.
in BT settings delete band pair. turn off BT. turn off phone. turn on phone. turn on BT. pair with band. now start app... if this not help, try connect band with other phone
DeleteIt worked! Thanks a lot!
DeleteI turned Bluetooth on and off and so far its cured my issue...

ReplyDeletePlease add the feature which remind us when sit too long like android
ReplyDeleteSmart alarm do not work onL950release prev
ReplyDeleteПосле обновления некорректно работает определение сна. Каждый раз пишет что засыпаю в три ночи. Время в постели отображается верно. И не работает умный будильник, точнее работает как обычный.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem on Band2. We are waiting for an update from the author.
DeleteBut the pulse began to measure accurately.
А у меня перестал меряться пульс :\ может девайс сломался конечно но он вечно х и прочерки рисует. А светодиод при этом светит не мигая. У кого то есть похожий симптом? А еще когда следующий релиз ?)))
ReplyDeleteА он у многих перестал работать. Причём с 28 августа почему-то.
DeleteОтвяжи браслет, привяжи к андроиду или айфону через официальное приложение, браслет обновит прошивку. Потом вернись обратно. У меня так заработало.
DeleteIt works with my Mi Band & Mi Band 2. Wait for new features :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
А релиз то когда:)??
ReplyDeleteТоже хотелось бы знать...
ReplyDeleteCould you please comment in english, thanks
ReplyDeleteHi. I tried mi band 2 on this app and found so many problems. Vibration is not working. Alarms are not working. Only time is available on device. Nothing else on Mi band 2. Additionally it stops working on other devices. Unable to connect to iphone and android after using with this app. Any work around.
ReplyDeleteI have Mi Band 2 with 1.0.0.19 firmware. Since i upgraded to PRO Bind Mi Band my heart rate monitor stopped working. No always i get X while i run it. Before it was working flawessly.
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to make it alive again, or is there any way to upgrade firmware under windows. I have no access to android phone :(
Heart Rate Monitor should continuously update.
ReplyDeletei just got my mi band 2 and on pairing it updated but i m still on firmware version 1.0.0.9... is that the current version
ReplyDeleteAfter connecting with Mi Fit app, firmware update to 1.0.0.53 and after that heart beat monitor is not working. Before firmware upgrade it was working well.
