Enjoy grin
Any new discovery don't hesitate to share here so others can also benefit.


I swear i've got tons of discovery bro...
Like you can play a voice note sent on WhatsApp without switching on your phone... And even reply notifications. You can also set the band to notify you your battery is full or getting low. And remind you like every 2 mins or your choice of interval that you have a missed call you're yet to respond to. Lots of discoveries walahi..

Why don't you guys buy a complete smart watch instead of this tiny screen device

Well it's all a matter of choice bro.. Not forgetting your pocket size too smiley . Moreover I feel like full smart watches are a bit overkill. Either ways , it all comes down to personal preference.

I'm glad you are exploring and discovering hidden features.
Just pick a really good feature and post the tutorial here so others can learn.
I'm very happy you share the same zeal I had when I bought mine, I was like no this can be it there should be more!
Since then it's been and exciting journey.

Ok .. I found the incoming and missed call function to be very handy...
1. Open the notify app
2. Click on the message-like icon(pictures below)
3. Click on calls, and start tweaking as you like.

Note.. make sure you turn off incoming call alerts on the official mi fit app before hand, so as to allow smooth performance.

Good one bro.
I hope you know you can receive, ignore or mute call on the band?
Keep discovering!

There's no such product as Mi Mr Band, stop misinforming the public. That's a cheapo clone of the Mi Band 4

Yes but after that there is a work around to use notify and fitness alone. It has more features.

Guys, Notify & fitness app isn't working alone with my band. How do you make it work without the mi fit app?

Modified.

Figured out. One just have to follow the prompts of installing and uninstalling the recommended apk and following the instructions to keep only the Notify and Fitness app

Well choosing to uninstall the mi fit app is ok, but the thing is do not update your band with the notify and fitness app, or your watch might get bricked. So if you want to update, install the mi fit app, update and then uninstall. Cheers smiley smiley

Good one. Will the band notify of any new update or something?

Too, every other thing is working fine, just the play/pause button/setting isn't.

-Pressing that on the band just stop the music, with all the options seleted for that botton in the Notify app, and you'd need to go back to the phone to click play again.

Anyway around that?

Well the band doesn't notify you of an update. Just that it automatically updates itself once you connect it to the mi fit app. And I think I got an update recently sha. My current version is in the picture below.

As for the music setting, I still have the mi fit app installed, so I didn't bother changing that in the notify and fit app.
But if you don't have the mi fit app installed, try the settings in the picture below for your notify app.

Have you downloaded the mi fit and notify and fitness app? And also paired the band to your phone?

Can I pair it with my torch light phone??

You want to pair it with your touch light phone with the hope of achieving what purpose exactly?

Nice of you to share. All was followed as you also discribed above. -I also have same latest update version.

However, GrandMufti above adviced deleting the Mi fit app and only keeping the Notify. -so far so good, except the play/pause ish. If I press it, I need to go through the phone to start/play/continue the music. Other than that every other thing is good using only the Notify app for the mi band 4

Wait let me get your complain right, is it that you can't start/stop music from the band without playing it on the phone first?.

If that's the case then you have no problem cos it's the same thing on every band. You have to play the music on your phone first before controlling it subsequently on the band.
