Mi Band Notify & Fitness will make the Xiaomi Mi Band 1S much more useful
Android / / December 19, 2019
Mi Fit, firmware application for Xiaomi Mi Band 1S, developing too slowly. In it there is still no running mode and automatic pulse measurement. Appendix Mi Band Notify & Fitness for Android fills this gap and provides a few useful features.
At Mi Fit has two versions: in the international google Play and the local Chinese in Mi Store. Both are not without serious shortcomings. So, there is no international regime workouts. In the Chinese version of it is available: the function Running track running and automatically measures the heart rate during training. But the trouble is that the story runs, much to the chagrin, is not saved. More precisely, it is preserved, but look at the statistics of previous workouts will not work - emergency application closes when you try to access it. This is due to regional restrictions.
In general, all the charm of a cheap "ironĀ» Xiaomi Mi Band 1S nullified due to unfinished software. Hard to say why the developers have been slow to update and inhibit its popularization of the same product. Certainly there are good reasons, but we are none the better. Only one way out - to seek help on the side. And to start, perhaps, is with Mi Band Notify & Fitness. For me, this app is interesting primarily in that it has a cross-training regimen. Of course, there are other cool features, but start all the same with jogging.
Before starting the run must select frequency readings: continuously once per minute or once every five minutes. This directly affects the graphics that you will see at the end of classes. Of course, the more points, the more the overall picture.
Between times, I note that the constant indications registration quickly discharges the bracelet. 30-40 minutes of running to eat about 20-30% of the battery charge. When registering data minute intervals - 2%.
And it would have been nice if application Mi Band Notify & Fitness to use the card and fixed-route traffic to them. So I turned to the application developer, to find out whether it is necessary to wait for the cards in the future. It turned out that the plan is very much interesting.
Detailed sleep statistics. I want to improve the statistics of the official app and add it to track an afternoon nap. Also, if possible, are summarized in a single graph heart rate during sleep and REM sleep, so that users can analyze your sleep more deeply. This is problem number one. In test mode, the function will be available within 7-15 days.
Reminders "get up and hold still." Every hour (or other time interval), the application will remind the person that he needs physical activity.
Enhanced training mode. Integrated GPS-maps with records of training sessions. Razgranichatsya types of activity: running, walking, fitness. This will improve the counting of calories and other data. Finally, their successes can be shared on social networks (Facebook, Twitter).
Modified synchronization with Google Fit. Now, many users complain about the irregular transfer of the steps in Google Fit. The problem arises when in Google Fit simultaneously receives data to and from other devices, such as hours on Google Wear.
Automatic detection of sleep. When backfilling person shut off notice and rebuild the other features of the application.
Smart workout. The app will record all user activity at varying intervals. When a person is in relative rest, the application will follow him, for example, every 15 minutes. Upon detection of the application of increased activity will remove the data much more frequently, such as every few seconds. Thus will disappear the need to manually start the training mode - the application will do the job itself.
What else would like to add, but Xiaomi restrictions do not allow to realize it?
Firstly, Xiaomi strongly broken off all of us, removing from the bracelet color LEDs. There was only white, and this severely limits the customization of notifications. Of course, you could play, and three single-color LEDs, but due to firmware restrictions is impossible. Sorry - I would like to set the time interval of switching on and off the LEDs or activate them separately.
Secondly, I want to be clear about the vibration. Now you can adjust the vibration, but can not make them very short or very long. Many users think that it is a defect of the application itself. In fact it is not. It Xiaomi vice.
Yet it would be cool to access the bracelet touches. The user touches the bracelet and controls certain functions of the phone. For example, as one would answer the phone, switch tracks, activate silent mode or take photos.
It would be nice to work and on the quality of the connection between the phone and a bracelet. Now Mi Band can no apparent reason "fall off" from a smartphone, because of what happens in the lining as the official app and Mi Band Notify & Fitness.

Plans did Napoleon. Will wait.
But now let us return to the present and consider other possibilities Mi Band Notify & Fitness.
- Steps. Displays the current activity and plotted mobility within the last hour, day, week, month.
- Pulse. Runs immediate measurement of pulse, constant monitoring is activated with a predetermined time interval. Construct pie chart pulse zones. Adjustable vibration band at too high or low pulse. The latter is very useful if you're running for cardio.
- apps. Ask notification settings for specific applications. Specified vibration delay time and ignoring the modes, filters, on weekdays and much more - just not count.
- calls. By analogy with the applications of the settings here for notifications on phone calls.
- reminders. Activated reminders pop up on your smartphone notification bar on schedule. There are ready-made solutions and the scope for manual adjustment.
- miscellanea. Included are alarm clocks and set the function "Do not lose the phone."
And this is just a brief list of features Mi Band Notify & Fitness. However, it should be mentioned that many of them are available only after the purchase of a key. As for me, justified investments: training, personalized notifications and reminders are already worth the money. Especially useful to know the current heart rate to monitor target heart rate zone during exercise or prevent the occurrence of unpleasant situations with a heart in the nerve weekdays. A utility will be in the future even better.
Finally talk about stability. Judging by the reviews on Google Play, the app is not always predictably behaves on different phones. Someone complains of complete failure, and someone points to the incorrect behavior of certain functions. Author of the program knows about it.

In general, it is necessary to suffer from in each case. But before you write the developer about the problems with the application, restart the Bluetooth, and switch back and forth sliders in the Settings application - can help. Although in my case Mi Band Notify & Fitness showed their best. I recommend to install and test at least the basic features.
