Bind Mi Band and Windows 10 Mobile

In the light Windows 10 Mobile update rolling out, we want to inform you how to avoid issues with Bind Mi Band app.


First of all, Bind Mi Band works on Windows 10 Mobile.

If after upgrade from 8.1 the app can't find the band, try next steps:
1. Remove band in Bluetooth settings (actually remove, don't just click on it) and then add it back. Later you will need to bind band in the app again and it should work.
2. If the first step doesn't help you, try to reinstall the app. But do step 1 before that.

Also, answering the question if something changed with notifications in the new OS: no, nothing has changed in Windows 10 Mobile. We still can't make band vibrate when an incoming call is ringing.

So this is all.

There will be more news soon :)

Release 1.12 with Firmware Upgrading


Hi there!

"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated" as Mark Twain said. Though February was a hard month, full of events, we continue to develop the app and here is the new portion of updates in version 1.12. 

The main improvement: now it's possible to upgrade the firmware of Mi Band with our app. This works for all the versions of Mi Band. We won't be necessary having the latest firmware from Mi Fit, but the version, which we'll have in Bind Mi Band, is guaranteed to be 99% working. Many people complained about issues related to alarms and heart rate measuring. Now this improvement should help them. This feature still can be unstable, but it shouldn't cause issues with your Mi Band in the case of failure. If firmware upgrade permanently crashes for you, try to reboot your band. 

Yes, by the way...

Hi, everybody!

We are finally announcing the big release of Bind Mi Band app.

Changes:
- Now we detect every your walk and record it in history
- Every your sleep is recorded and is also saved
- You can see week charts of steps count and sleep time
- OneDrive sync saves daily steps and sleep time
- Now application uses system's color theme for background and accent color (looks really unusual, right? :)



And as a bonus: we have added support of Mi Band 1S for all basic features (steps counting, sleep tracking and alarms). Heart rate features are planned in next release.
Before starting using your Mi Band 1S, you need to update band's firmware with an official application Mi Fit for iOS/Android.
This functionality is still in test, so, please, report any errors you may see.

[CLOSED] Looking for BETA knights!

Hello, there!

Not so much news during November, because it was much coding and designing :)

Very soon you will be able to get the new super-duper version of Bind Mi Band app. Before it goes into mass, we need to test it a bit and check that everything works as expected for everyone. Previously, we had BETA testers program, but it was so much time ago, that I would like to completely refresh BETA testers list. We need 50 of them! The application is closed.
