The Mi Fit application does not see the Mi Band. What to do?

What to do Mi Fit does not see the bracelet

It happens that everything seems to be connected, but the Mi Fit application does not see the Mi Band, literally at all... Everything here is much simpler than it might seem.

We deal with the connection problem in 6 steps.

Check if the Mi Band is working. What if it runs out of power and is simply turned off?
Take a look, do you have the latest version of the Mi Fit app? If not, be sure to update! This can be done in the application settings, or in PlayMarket.
Turn on Bluetooth and GPS. Both of these services are required for the application to work correctly and synchronize.
Bring the bracelet closer to your smartphone. If your smartphone is deep in the bottom of your backpack or gym bag, then it's best to take it out. Sometimes external interference interferes with a stable Bluetooth connection.
We hope everything worked. No? Then we try another option. Log in to Mi Fit through your Google account . If everything worked out in this case, then log out and log in again through your MI account .

If all these methods do not help, turn off Bluetooth and GPS services, and restart your smartphone. As a last resort, reinstall the application. Don't worry, all your data will be saved in your profile.

Types of errors and their causes

There are many types of errors that users may encounter:

During registration;
with authorization;
when connecting a smartphone with gadgets;
when performing calculations;
when the program is running in the background.

In each case, different reasons lead to problems, so before attempting to restore the service, it is recommended to find out what the problem is.

Mi Fit authorization error

An error when trying to log into your account is most often associated with:

incorrectly entered password;
failure of the phone or the Xiaomi server;
blocking the server (vpn will help);
or an incorrectly installed application.

There are other reasons for difficulties with authorization, but they are much less common. Therefore, first of all, owners of Mi Band bracelets are recommended to check the listed options.

registration error

The registration error is usually associated with the same troubles that caused the Mi Fit to fail to sign in:

failure of the server or smartphone;
incorrectly selected language or layout;
incorrectly installed or outdated application.

More rarely, problems are systemic in nature, but they can be easily recognized by the incorrect operation of most services.

Doesn't work in the background

Incorrect background operation usually occurs when:

installation was carried out incorrectly;
the settings of the gadget or smartphone are set incorrectly (the most common option);
The device memory is full.

To solve this, it is first recommended to exit the program, clear the cache, delete unnecessary files and objects, and log in again.

"Restart Bluetooth" error occurred

Another situation in which Mi Fit does not work in the background is related to cases where the device has encountered a “restart Bluetooth” error.

In a similar situation it is worth:

If you have any questions or complaints, please let us know

Ask a Question

restart Bluetooth following the program's advice;
make sure that both connecting devices “see” each other;
keep equipment at a distance sufficient to maintain communication.

Synchronization error

The synchronization error is extremely similar to that described above and implies the same actions. At the same time, to connect a bracelet or scale to a smartphone, its communication channels must remain active. But most often, difficulties with synchronization arise when equipment is removed from each other at a distance that does not allow communication to be established.

Application Error

There are 3 reasons that cause this problem:

system failure on the phone (solved by rebooting);
outdated version of the program (it is enough to install a new, current version);
incorrect operation of the service, requiring its removal and re-download.

It is important to emphasize that a failure is the most common cause of all difficulties that arise, so the first thing you should do when encountering any problem is to reboot.

Error connecting to network and bracelet

If the application does not connect to the network, you need to make sure that the necessary network exists and create it on your Android, if necessary. Once you have confirmed that the network exists, you should check whether the fitness tracker is connected to it. Otherwise, you will have to connect it and try again to establish the connection.

Problem with body estimation

In situations where body assessment in Mi Fit does not work or functions incorrectly, you should check that the settings of the smartphone and the program are correct. If there are no errors, it is recommended to see if an update needs to be installed. If the service needs to be updated, solving the problem will not be difficult.

How to sync Mi Fit?

If, when you launch the application, the Mi Band is successfully connected and synchronized, the data will automatically appear on the main screen of the application.

Don't forget that for the application to work correctly, you must turn on Bluetooth and GPS.

If the data on the main screen has not been updated, just drag the data list down - it should help.

Have you done everything, but Mi Fit data is still not updated?

Then:

Restart GPS/Bluetooth
Close and re-login to the application
Reboot your smartphone
Check Mi Fit background settings

Mi Fit doesn't receive notifications?

The situation when everything seems to be connected, but notifications still do not arrive is not a rare phenomenon, and can be solved quite simply.

You probably already realized that all check points begin with a connection check? Great! Then:

First we check the Bluetooth and GPS connections. They must be turned on at all times. At least Bluetooth. All inclusive?
The second step is to see if notifications are enabled in the application.
Check your background settings

To check whether notifications are enabled, go to: “Profile” - select the connected device - check the “Notifications” item. Everything must be included. Check if all the applications from which you want to receive notifications are in the list. It is possible that some application is simply prohibited from sending notifications.

Setting up Mi Fit notifications

Check if Mi Fit is running in the background . Sometimes, trash cleaning apps on your smartphone close it. To prevent this from happening, you need to add the application to the exclusion list. For this:

Go to the "Profile" tab on the main screen
Then select your device
Check the "Run in background" option. This point is quite voluminous and requires attention. But if you set up Mi Fit to run in the background once, there will be no problems closing it in the future.
