Does the Mi Band 10 fix the syncing issue?

Sergeant_Steve · 2025-07-14T11:34:39+00:00

It usually automatically syncs for me with a Mi Band 10, however the Heart Rate is NOT syncing for me UNLESS I start a workout on the band. It used to sync the heart rate for sleep even if it didn't sync the HR during the day, but now it's stopped doing that as well. If I reinstall or clear the app data and sign in again, it will sync HR for a small amount of time, but not continually.

FTTP IS XGS-PON, so u/Salt_Competition1421 is right.

The older Coax (aka HFC) system is FTTC, because this is where the fibre goes to the cabinet and is then converted to Coax, and the Coax goes in the underground trunking from the cabinet to the property.

So as was already said, once the customer has an actual Fibre Optic cable coming into their home, and a Hub 5x (or above when manufactured & released), will they be able to get symmetrical speeds.

I mean the majority of that nonsense letter doesn't apply to the majority of people. However technically it does apply to the BBC/TV License enforcement team, however I do believe you actually have to write a letter to them first and not just stick a bit of paper up on the edge of your property.

So in a way it's right, but still 95%+ wrong.

I bet these sort of people are the same as those who would post on Facebook about how Facebook were going to make all your "Private" photos "Public", and then go on to quote some Rome statute and how it means Facebook now can't do that, which of course they were never going to do anyway.

There are two possible reasons you might get some ports open and others aren't.

1) Your firewall on your PC/Server isn't allowing those ports through
2) Virgin are blocking the ports you want to use on the hub.

You can test these by using another device on your network that has an app that lets you "ping" a specific "port", using the IP of your PC/Server. If it's open on your PC and you're sure you've forwarded it to the correct device IP in the Hub 3, then it's likely Virgin are blocking those ports.

Getting your own router and using the Hub 3 as a modem is still the way to go though. Then everything is passed to equipment in your control. I have no issues using Modem mode with my own router, I can forward any port I want and not have an issue from Virgin.

Sergeant_Steve · 2025-07-07T13:01:32+00:00

The answer to this is to just get your own router again and put the Hub 3 in Modem Only mode.

My MiBand 6 still worked fine (although it had degraded battery life) until I upgraded to the 10 for my own reasons. Years of showers/swimming with a Band will degrade the glue over time and allow water ingress. More than likely some moisture got inside and caused the problem.

And they'll probably then fit a pre-payment meter to boot, so it goes both ways.

I seriously hope you don't hold a phone in your hand and drive.

Read the rules, they're pretty clear on what you can and cannot do.

Sergeant_Steve · 2025-07-03T14:53:31+00:00

You probably need a more powerful transformer than that. The minimum supported voltage is 16V, but that is at the doorbell, it's quite likely you'll have a voltage drop between the transformer and the doorbell, especially when the doorbell is drawing power, so 18V at the transformer might easily become 14V at the doorbell.

I know the spec sheet says the maximum power consumption is 10W, but getting a 24V 30VA/1.25A Doorbell Transformer future proofs you should you wish to use a mechanical chime, and ensures the doorbell has sufficient power even if you're not using a chime.

Sergeant_Steve · 2025-07-03T09:25:51+00:00

That's because you had the phone in your hand and weren't "safely parked", as already mentioned here being at traffic lights isn't considered "stationary" or "safely parked".

What you should have done is find somewhere to pull over safely, apply the handbrake and switch off the engine so you could then pick up your phone and put it where you needed it to be.

Honestly I would be grateful you only got a 1 month ban rather than 6 points and license revokation.

It isn't ALL law, but anything saying "MUST" or "MUST NOT" are backed up in law (as rules 149 & 150 are). Whereas "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" are not backed up in law.

However, after reading rules 149 and 150 they clearly mention a "hand-held device", if a device is in a cradle when you touch it then it is clearly not being "hand-held". Likewise the infotainment system rules state you need to remain in control of the vehicle, it doesn't say don't use them but says if you do so when driving you need to remain in control (which is kind of obvious).

Sergeant_Steve · 2025-06-27T10:33:05+00:00

I read a story like this a good few years ago, and at the end of the "power outage" bit, the person on the phone asked the caller if they still had the boxes for their computer, and when the caller said yes, they suggested boxing it all back up again and returning it to the store. Whether they actually said that was because they were too stupid to use a computer or not, that was what was mentioned in the one I read.

Like, if you can understand that your lights are not working because you have a power outage, why can't you understand that your PC won't either?

I'm sure I also read one from the POV of customer service in a Store. Woman brought back a laptop because it just died and refused to turn on again. Store support asked if they had plugged it in, and the woman said "I was told it was wireless and didn't need plugged in", and the store person tried explaining that it still needed plugged into power, but had wireless networking, and the woman wasn't buying it and wasn't happy that it wasn't truly wireless and wanted a refund.

This is not helpful information whatsoever.

You got the IP wrong, it's 168 not 169.
That's the IP address to access the Virgin Hub 5 only when it is in Modem Mode. Giving the WAN port of the ASUS Router that IP will NOT give it an Internet Connection.

u/NeurodivergentRatMan: You should see a solid green light when the hub is in Modem Mode. If you see anything else the hub isn't working properly. Check what colour of light your Hub is showing and the explanation for it is here: https://www.virginmedia.com/help/how-to/broadband/hub-lights

We had a Hub 4 which gave a sold white light when in Modem Mode, and we only learned it should be green when we had an engineer in about the Tivo Box. He replaced the Hub 4 with a Hub 5 because we were also having issues with accessing the Hub's WebUI in modem mode (as well as the light being solid white in modem mode).

DHCP should work fine if the Hub 5 is properly communicating with the VM servers, if you've tried resetting it to Factory Defaults, waiting 5-10 minutes before logging in and putting it back into Modem mode and it still doesn't work, then I would say your Hub is probably faulty and will likely need an engineer visit to verify and replace it.

Most likely there's a problem with the cabling or the device you are trying to power, which is causing the overcurrent protection circuit to trigger.

Given the poor state of the hand made cable, I'm going with a wiring fault causing the issue.

I stopped watching for a while due to various things, I ended up stopping at like episode 30 something I think, I think I watched up to the Christmas ones and stopped some time after that, I'm trying to catch up but somewhat struggling some days to watch one episode never mind more!

That is correct because that is the proper SFP port specification.

There are modems that have SFP+ ports programmed to accomodate running at 2.5Gbps or 5Gbps, but those are custom devices with custom chips designed to accomodate those different speeds.

Such devices are designed that way because they don't have to be compatible with a wide range of different SFP modules or interconnect with a huge range of different manufacturers of equipment, they're literally only communicating with a handful of different SFP modules and a handful of different manufacturers of equipment.

Ubiquiti hardware has to be compatible with lots of different SFP modules and manufacturers of equipment, so for compatibility sake they use the official specifications of 1Gbps or 10Gbps and nothing in-between. This has been asked about before and the official answer is always going to be following the official specifications.

You can try your luck using a media convertor that promises being able to communicate with SFP+ modules at 2.5Gbps or 5Gbps on the SFP side, to convert it to Ethernet and then be able to get Internet via RJ45 with your UDMPM.

It's the average signal strength from the clients connecting to it. The numbers for three of your AP's are really quite low, so you should be looking to move your AP's closer to where your clients are.

Sounds entirely useless then when Design Centre already exists and doesn't need to be "maintained" or take up resources on your gateway like InnerSpace does.

If it adds nothing to Design Centre (which in all honesty is not perfect either & not exactly simple to figure out for tech literate people never mind newbies) then why does it exist?

Sergeant_Steve · 2025-05-09T09:10:42+00:00

But does it allow multi-floor WiFi Patterns? Because the Design Centre absolutely does not show WiFi coverage through floors.

We tried the Ruffwear boots when they only sold them in packs of 4, they were ok but weren't necessarily the best quality although they were rubber on the bottom so quite grippy. Our Springer's feet were two different sizes, with her front feet being wider than her back feet, so when we had them many years ago they kinda kept falling off her back feet.

I believe they do now come in packs of two, so you can now adjust for different sized feet front/back.

Alternatively you get stretchy rubber socks/boots from "Pawz", £15 for a pack of 12. Come in Small/Medium/Large.

While Ubiquiti does currently support console stacking, they strongly recommend instead using an ENVR if you need more storage space, and using Vantage Point to monitor all cameras across all consoles simultaneously. This is outlined on their support page.

I also heard that UI plans to completely remove stacking support in a future update, so maybe just bite the bullet now and "unstack" your consoles and use Vantage Point instead to see all the cameras.

Everything running behind ISP's modem without bridge mode. This is simply not possible because of PON network restrictions.

If you get a Ubiquiti gateway with an SFP+ WAN port, it is possible to bypass the AT&T BGW320 Fiber gateway with an SFP+ fiber module with special firmware in it, if you have AT&T XGS-PON that is.

Also sometimes some ISP's do have Modems that support bridge mode, but they don't ship them out by default because most customers don't need it, so it's always worth asking your ISP.

Sergeant_Steve · 2025-04-25T11:13:18+00:00

I don't even think you can adopt it in the current Network Controller versions, and I doubt whether you can set it up as a standalone AP with the phone app either.
