One of the advantages and possibilities that this Chinese bracelet offers us is to be aware at all times of the notifications that reach us on the mobile, which can be customized to choose which ones we do and which ones we do not want to receive in this accessory. However, there are several users who, through the Xiaomi forums or on social networks, have mentioned that their Mi Band vibrates on its own without having received a mobile alert and, therefore, ends up generating a lot of confusion.
This case will sound familiar to some of you since it is not something new and we have also seen it a lot on mobile phones. Although, however, those who encounter it may also be right, since there are different situations that lead us to this problem. First of all, because we are not really receiving the notification, but the vibration. And, in the second case, it is a syndrome that affects the repeated use of the bracelet.
For this reason, we will tell you all the methods that you can follow if in your case you have verified how on more than one occasion the Mi Band vibrates by itself .
phantom vibration syndrome
The stimulus that users receive when the smartband vibrates to alert us of a new notification is associated with the area of the wrist where the bracelet vibrates and, therefore, the slightest touch can cause our brain to understand it as a slight vibration.
This is the most repeated reason to run into this problem in which the Mi Band supposedly vibrates but we do not have notifications , so in reality we are receiving no notifications or alerts and it will be the result of our imagination, also known as phantom vibration.
To try to prevent this from happening to us, we can change the wristband from time to time with the option that we have in Mi Fit, modify the vibration or even disconnect from it. When we take off the Mi Band to charge it, it is a good time to leave it away from us for more hours and thus disconnect, just as it has been recommended in many cases to do with smartphones and social networks.
However, it will not always be a matter of our brain, since there are not a few people who have a Mi Band 3 or another model in their possession and have suffered this annoying failure. So we recommend you keep reading to put an end to it.
yes it vibrates alone
Despite what we have just explained, it will not only be a matter of our ‘imagination’, since there are not a few users who have verified how, on more than one occasion, their Chinese bracelet vibrates by itself. For this reason, we must pay attention not only to the configuration of the Xiaomi smartband, but also to other factors that we will see below. In this way, you can prevent you from continuing to suffer from this annoying bug.
blame the notifications
Another problem that may be causing the annoying ghost notifications on the Mi Band 6 has to do with a problem that has occurred in some versions of the software on the Mi Band 5. Personally, we have detected how the bracelet vibrates again after of hours , or even minutes, if we have any pending notification on the phone. Although, it has not yet been discovered whether it is intentional on the part of Xiaomi or due to a software error.
In any case, we recommend you update Mi Fit to the latest version from Google Play and in the same way access the app to check for new updates on the bracelet that could avoid this small inconvenience. Although do not forget that if this is not your case, because there is no pending notification on the mobile, it could be both a sensation of your own as we have seen previously or, as we will see now later, another problem derived from using an app that is not the official one. for the Mi Band. It can even be due to a specific failure in the smartband software.
What app do you use?
There are not a few users who have seen how when using other applications to link their Mi Band 4 or another model to their smartphone, they have begun to have this problem. For this reason, we recommend using the official Xiaomi app, Mi Fit , at all times. If you still do not have it downloaded, in the following link you can download it on your phone:
Once inside, it will be as simple as creating an account with one of the different options that they offer you. And do not forget to give it all the necessary permissions, since in this way you will avoid suffering the odd error. Then go to Profile tab > Add device > Band and choose your Mi Band. Once this is done, you will be able to enter its configuration, and adjust each of its options. As well as the tool that will allow you to receive notifications on the smartband.
Try restarting the bracelet
It may be a specific failure because the Mi Band has been ‘caught’. For this reason, the best solution in these situations will be to restart the Xiaomi smartband . There is no doubt that it is one of the best ways to eliminate many errors, since its effectiveness is more than proven. To do this, you will have to enter the activity bracelet settings > click on the More button > Settings > Restart.
Reset the Mi Band
Before formatting it we will have to unlink it from the phone from the Bluetooth menu of the mobile settings. Afterwards, we will have to select the option to forget the Xiaomi bracelet . Now is when we must leave the smartband as it was just taken out of the box and wait for it to restart.
To reset the Chinese bracelet you will have to enter the More menu> select Settings> click on the Factory Reset option. Doing so will tell you that all settings are going to be reset. When it finishes and starts again, you can reconfigure the Xiaomi smartband as if it were fresh out of the box. At the moment in which it has returned to its original state, we will have to re- synchronize the Mi Band with Mi Fit as we had explained previously.
