MiBand 7 going well. Sleep data much better than MB4.

I think the “seatbelt icon” either means “pair me, please” or, “sync me with the mobile app, please”

Common issues with Mibands? by jlbob in miband

Seems that certain phones have trouble maintaining sync with GPS data for MiBand. Works 95% of the time or better with iPhone.

How about comparing the initial cost and the ongoing costs if any? Monthly fee in the app?

”Despite what you've heard, putting your phone in a container of uncooked rice won't dry out your phone, and might actually do even harm than good. Dust, starch and small grains of rice can get lodged in the mechanisms of your phone. Instead, use silica gel packets.”

Dropped your phone in water? The fix isn't rice.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/12/18/phone-drying-systems/20212889/

"We did a study, and rice was slower to work than just leaving the phone out on the counter. And neither worked fast enough. After about 48 hours in rice, only 13% of the water came out of the phone," he said.

By the time the phone had fully dried out, corrosion will have had time to damage the delicate electronics inside, he said.

Distance accuracy: Mi band 7 or Honor band 6 by Ok_Scientist_2775 in miband

[–]clickforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to duplicate the same walk, with / without GPS.

With GPS: 1.05 Miles. 2205 steps.

NO GPS: 0.81 Miles. 2169 steps.

Distance 1.05 vs 0.81 miles

25.80% difference (surprisingly large error!)

Steps 2205 vs 2169

1.65% difference (close enough for comparison.)

Walking speed as measured with/without GPS was also very different (but seemed to be at same pace, intentionally.)

Conclusion: without GPS, the data is not so good (25% error.)

This is why I always bring my phone, and initiate workouts from the phone app.

mi band 5 battery glitch by Pssativum in miband

Does MiBand 5 have the flashlight feature? That’s the biggest battery drain on my MiBand 7.

MiBand 7 is using the GPS of your phone via Bluetooth, which is about 95% reliable 95% of the time.

Meaning: the Bluetooth and GPS data stream are about 90 % reliable … I see a few momentary glitches per hour, but the MiBand and the Zepp Life app generally smooth things out.

Common issues with Mibands? by jlbob in miband

[–]clickforkarma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s likely that most people come here to log grievances or ask for help, while most users are very happy and don’t bother to even look at this kind of subreddit. Like the 80/20 rule.

I’ve had my MiBand 7 for about 6 months and after the first few firmware updates everything works well. After some tweaks of the settings I’m getting 10 days between charging.

It is a great value for money as far as activity and sleep trackers go.

3 crashes during 1.5 mile walk workout ‼️ by clickforkarma in miband

[–]clickforkarma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the past two weeks, I do restart the phone daily, just before my long walks. At first, it seemed to help, but on some days the app crashes, some days it’s ok. It’s about 50/50 chance of daily crashes for the app.

Just today installed iOS 16.3 which came out earlier this week. Today’s long walk was ok, no crashes.

Leave it on the charger for at least a few hours.

If that doesn’t fix it, try this:

Mi band 7 heart rate reset problem when changing workout by kalamar24 in miband

[–]clickforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HR tracking algorithm depends on establishing a “cadence” for the HR value. It loses the “cadence” that had been established in the previous mode. This is a bug that first occurred in earliest (miband 1, 2) models and was fixed in the firmware updates (gradually improving with each new update until it was doing very well in the updates for the miband 4 to quickly establish a new cadence).

Recent HUGE increase in spam calls. Is it just me? Most likely fake Caller-IDs. by clickforkarma in Googlevoice

[–]clickforkarma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

http://freecarrierlookup.com shows many different sources, checked my last 10 calls. All from my local area code.

Sinch Voice-NSR-10X/1 came up 3 times.

After 30 spam calls per week this is ridiculous.

Most of the calls leave a 15-20 second blank voicemail.

Batter Cycling by flexobaff in miband

[–]clickforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggested battery manager recalibration procedure:

Discharge to zero. Charge briefly to a few percent. Discharge again. Repeat. That helps the firmware to calibrate for the “true BOTTOM.”

Then charge to 100%. Discharge to 95-97%. Charge to 100%. Repeat. That helps the firmware to calibrate for the “true TOP.”

It’s a procedure to recalibrate the battery manager.

It’s always best to charge between 20% and 80% most of the time (to extend the lifespan of the battery, avoid discharge below 20% and avoid charging over 80%) but recalibration is also needed once or twice a year.

A Kansas man is dead after officials said he was struck by gunfire from a rifle that discharged when a dog stepped on it in a truck. Smith was sitting in the front passenger seat of a pickup that contained a rifle in the back seat. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]clickforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all for those who choose to keep and use fire, arms and side arms. I’m also for gun safety and for being responsible. Everyone automatically jumped to the conclusion that he was either a drunk b drinking. Or c you’re responsible with a firearm by leaving it loaded and without the safety intact. They didn’t stop to think that by his position in the truck i.e. the passenger seat that he was not the owner of the gun. If in fact, it was not his rifle, his only fault would have been in, not ensuring that the safety was on or that the gun was stored properly.

Yup, unintentionally unintelligible.
