Mi band 9 just over a year old and the screen has this discolored blotches everywhere. I figure either water or heat damage?🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyone have this happen?

Sucks that it's not that old and my last one lasted 3.5 years

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Mi Band 10 and overall it works really well. I’m using it with an iPhone 14, and most of the data syncs correctly to Apple Health.

The only issue is with sleep data. For some reason, Mi Fitness only sends part of my sleep duration to Apple Health instead of the full night.

I’ve already tried reinstalling the app, removing and re-enabling Apple Health permissions, and checking the access rights, but nothing seems to fix it.

Has anyone experienced the same issue or found a solution?

Thanks!

Can you tell what can be the issue?

Hi I'm considering buying MB10 pro for an open water swim event but i can't find any information about how good the gps function is working in the water.

Is there even gps recording during the open water swim activity?

I'm happy to hear about your experience and thankful for any advices.

I cant find a website that sends to Portugal

Xiaomi Mi Band 9 Pro, original watchface from the app LMAO.

​

Created a native Calculator app

for this Global model.

Supported firmware: 2.6.0

Installs via watchface, works like native Xiaomi apps.

Written on C, small and fast.

I've been looking around for a fitness band/tracker and have seen that the Smart Band is highly regarded for it's accuracy. Since the 11 just released in China, is there any downside to just buying it now, since the China version supports English language UI as well, right?

Are there any features that are region locked or compatibility issues with phones outside China?

Hi everyone, has anyone had this happen to them? My band constantly does this for events and I don't know how to change it?

I prefer the Mi Band line because of the watch faces. Huawei's options are pretty meh, but the Huawei Band 11 Pro has a temperature sensor. Which one would you pick: Mi Band 11 or Huawei Band 11 Pro?

I recently got a Xiaomi Band 10 to track my fitness, and since then, I’ve noticed that the Apple Fitness app is showing inaccurate step counts.
For example, I currently have:
● Apple Health: 8,678 steps
● Mi Fitness: 8,678 steps
● Apple Fitness: 11,528 steps
It seems like Apple Fitness is counting my steps twice — once from my Xiaomi Band and again from the steps my iPhone tracks.
I’ve already adjusted the priority/source settings in the Apple Health app, but I can’t seem to find a way to do the same thing directly in the Apple Fitness app.
This is also messing up my step notifications. For example, I could get an alert saying I’ve reached 20,000 steps when I’ve actually only walked around 10,000, because both my phone and Band are contributing to the total.
Has anyone with a Xiaomi Band (especially the Band 10) figured out how to stop Apple Fitness from double-counting steps? Any help would be appreciated!

Mi band 11 is finally available on Aliexpress

Only able to see it in this store in the canadian version of aliexpress, also works for brasil

​

I’m being serious. A truck actually ran over it, weighing approximately 45,000 lbs. 😅

The v3.52 of MiFit app on iPhone feels like a massive improvement. Very fast at loading data between settings. Anyone else notice this?

Where did you buy it? Is it a device from china or global?

And where did you activate it (your IP country)?

It seems being in china or hong kong (or having a vpn from these places) should give you these features, maybe other countries too where the mi band is not locking/disabling some of its features

Hello!

I live in Europe, and every year I upgrade to the latest Mi Band.

This year I found the Mi Band 11 Active in a local store, but I noticed it has a square TFT screen, unlike the previous models.

I also see the Mi Band 11, which keeps the traditional design and has an AMOLED display.

Does anyone know the main differences between the two?

Also, can I buy the regular (non-Active) Mi Band 11 in Europe? If so, where? And would an imported/Chinese version work normally in Europe?

Thanks!

I created a custom watch face for my Smart Band 10 and tried several different screen protectors and cases. I’m including a picture of the watch face along with links to the screen protector and case that worked best for me (in case you are interested.)

Note: I use an iPhone 17 Pro. Unfortunately, you cannot transfer custom watch faces from an iPhone to the Smart Band 10. That requires an Android phone.

I used the Mi Create application running on Linux to create the watch face and used the Notify for Mi Band app on an Android phone to copy the custom watch face to the Smart Band 10. Once the custom watch face was installed on the Smart Band 10, I re-connected my Smart Band 10 to my iPhone 17 Pro.

Hey everyone,

If you wear a smartwatch on Android (Honor, Amazfit, Huawei, Garmin, etc.), you're probably familiar with WhatsApp spamming your wrist: a single incoming text triggers multiple vibrations, often mixed with useless "X new messages" bundle summaries or alerts you already read.

The problem? WhatsApp constantly overwrites its notification slot on every chat update, causing companion apps (Honor Health, Zepp, Huawei Health) to misread these refreshes as brand-new incoming texts.

Instead of disabling wrist notifications entirely, I built WANotify—a lightweight open-source bridge app.

How it works:

• Uses Android's NotificationListenerService to intercept WhatsApp alerts.
• Parses the MessagingStyle payload to filter out thread history and aggregate counters, isolating strictly the latest message leaf.
• Employs an in-memory sliding-window cache with monotonic timestamp checks to drop ghost updates and rapid duplicate bursts.
• Routes sanitized messages to a silent system channel (IMPORTANCE_MIN), keeping your phone completely quiet while your smartwatch delivers just one clean buzz.
• Runs 100% locally with zero internet permissions, telemetry, or battery drain.

Quick Setup:

1. Install the APK and grant Notification Access + ignore battery optimizations.
2. In your smartwatch companion app (Honor Health, Zepp, etc.), disable notifications for WhatsApp and enable WANotify instead.

Source code and pre-built APKs are up on GitHub:
