Day and Date format and language on MI Band 10

No it's not possible. Xiaomi deleted date and time settings from smart band 8 and never added them back in 9 and 10 even after a lot of feedback from users. This is one of the reasons I ditched them and switched to amazfit and I am really happy I did. A smart band that can't even show date and time

Mi band 4 updates ?

Even the much more recent Mi Band 8 hasn't received an update in 2 years. Usually, there are one or two updates in the months after launch, with urgent bug fixes and added features that weren't ready yet at the release. But there are no constant updates.

Screen Protector for the Xiaomi Smart Band, 8 & 9

I designed a screen protector for my smart band so that I can wear it while climbing. I first printed in PLA but realized that I still wanted to be able to see the time. I printed in clear PETG and realized that the cover is thin enough to use the touchscreen below. Maybe the next step would be to u

Einfache Fitnessuhr ohne Appzwang / Cloudzwang

Nicht ganz Dein Anforderungsprofil, aber vielleicht eine Kompromisslösung: Ich hab mir explizit einen Tracker gesucht, der sich mit Gadgetbridge betreiben lässt. Das ist ein Open Source Tool, mit dem die Daten auf Deinem Telefon bleiben (außer man will das anders, meine Daten landen in einer selbst

Do y'all think that the mi band 9 active gets updates?

Nope, the "Active" versions in Xiaomi Wereables or just in general, doesn't get updates or gets updates not often. I don't think it will be updated, because even my Mi Band 8 Active didn't get a single update and Xiaomi did an EOL for them. Including Mi Band 8 Pro. The Mi Band 8 doesn't get much upd

Mi Band 8 not turning on

Yeah the mi band 8 is the biggest downgrade in xiaomi history, like it’s glue being weaker than other bands and software failures as well and many bugs were reported and weren’t even fixed, I would rather get the mi band 7 at least it looks better

Why This Watch Face Is So Popular? PipBoy In 4 Diffrent Colors On Mi Band 10 Global.

Apparently, starting with the Mi Band 8, you can't configure the buttons on the watchface to open apps. And it definitely doesn't work in the EasyFace editor. Does this work on your version of Mi Band 9?

How can Xiaomi not know how to write date correctly?

The best part is that up to Smart Band 7 you had date/time settings so you could change it to DD/MM but they removed the settings from Smart Band 8. Today I ordered Amazfit watch which has proper date and time settings, and I will never use xiaomi again. Clowns

Anyone getting this after Samsung's OneUI 7 update S22U

I’m experiencing the same problem. I bought an S24+ a month ago, and in the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that Mi Fitness has been draining my battery in an annoyingly disproportionate way and heating up my phone more than when I’m playing games. Today, it even consumed almost 60% of the CPU and drai

"a system error occured" on m0rtal's app support

Having something similar with Mi Band 8. Won't install FW update, same "system error occurred" message when I try to install it OR any of the watch faces. Ugh, so I'm stuck with the rainbow racetrack for now. Any insights that could help? Thanks!
