Xiaomi Mi Band Have Problems Pairing with Mi Fit

Xiaomi‘s Mi Band are not characterized by giving too many problems. These products are easily linked via Bluetooth, while the Mi Fit tool is in charge of keeping track of all the physical activity we carry out. However, it is not the first time that we have seen problems to link the Mi Band. Now, there are several users with these problems who are reporting new failures to be able to connect these bracelets with their mobiles.

It is common for isolated connection problems between Mi Fit and a terminal to arise . However, when the problem occurs in a generalized way, it may mean that the last update of Mi Fit or the firmware of the bracelet, has an error that must be fixed. Although the Xiaomi Mi Band can work independently of our smartphone, it makes sense to link it with the mobile and the Mi Fit app, which is the best way to keep track of our activity.

Binding failures

Most of the users are flooding the Mi Fit comments with these linking issues. The bracelet cannot connect with the mobile or suffers intermittent disconnections, which seem to be the predominant failures. These problems seem to affect both the Mi Band 4 and Mi Band 5, but there are also users who report the error for the inexpensive Mi Band 4C and even with older models like the Mi Band 2.

What can be done?

Knowing the pattern of the affected users is not easy, since it may depend on a specific mobile model, the Android version or even the Bluetooth standard available. This is something that Xiaomi is possibly working on to release an update that fixes the bug. However, there are some alternative “patches” that work while waiting for the relevant patch.

One of the most successful solutions is to go back to a previous version of Mi Fit. To do this, we must look for a trusted repository such as APKMirror to download a previous version . The most current released by Xiaomi is 4.9.0 released this February, so version 4.8.1 should allow pairing on the affected devices again.

The second option is to put aside My Fit, at least temporarily . In the Xiaomi forums we read how some user has installed Zepp, which is the official Huami app to link Amazfit watches. The Mi Band can also be linked with this app and apparently, with good results to be able to save the Mi Fit failure.
