[TIP]Notify & fitness - fast file transfers (watch face, fw update) - Xiaomi Mi Band 4 Guides, News, & Discussion

If you have a phone with BT v4.2 or higher, don't forget to check "settings - advanced - phone Bluetooth version 4.2". As long as your phone supports it, you will achieve much higher speeds when applying a WF or performing a FW update. In fact, with Xiaomi Mi A3, FW update fails every time without this feature enabled.

I have the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, which has bluetooth 4.2 also, but whenever I try to upload a WF with this option enabled, it will fail...

It was the same with A1 phone. But with Mi A3 (which has BT v5) it works like a charm. In your case you'll need to keep this feature disabled (you might submit a bug report in N&F though).

Definately running with the advanced settings, do have the other three options under bluetooth.

In such case, and if you have Bluetooth v4.2 or 5 on the phone, I'd suggest to contact the developer (from N&F menu, it will automatically attach necessary logs and system information).

[Q] connected,sync loop

It s normal this message in the notifications?
i made some researches ,but no luck...
did you guys get same problem?
I have the same thing. Had it on KitKat and also now on lollipop. I saw a screenshot recently from someone that just said connected.
I had no luck searching either :-\
Sorry I'm not replying with an answer.
transmitted via skynet
On kitkat it was connected sync loop but now on lollipop it is only connected but i didn't find ajy difference in both,the watch is working in the same manner as it used to be on kitkat
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
i changed rom, and now says connected . i was on cyano . hope this helps..
found the problem
i founded the solution. you have to deactivate dev options from phone. then turn off bluetooth and then says connected
Yup that works.. But Google should fix that soon as in most of phones the Dev options are always on..
FYI

It's not broken though, As long as you have USB Development options on it will use the Android Wear app notification to show more verbose status messages.
There's nothing to fix there... That shows when you enable developers options.
No impact on the phone or watch battery or performance whatsoever.
Even without developer options enabled, that's what's happening, AW is running a sync loop to constantly update the watch information (cards and apps).
Cheers!

In my case, when the notification says "connected, running sync loop", my battery goes down so quickly (in my phone and in my watch).
My solution: I disable developer options (at this moment i dont need it) and all works nice.

This is probably due to the Android Wear app updating the notification with the current status of the watch, resulting in more wake-ups than normal (could definitely be wrong here, but that seems the most logical to me.), best way to fix it is indeed to turn off developer options.

I've tested and on my devices there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in the battery consumption with both cases.
It's just a different way of writing the current state.

Exactly, there's no difference in battery at all. It's just different wording of the same state.
With developer options enabled ir disabled, the phone is in a constant sync loop with the watch for it to work properly.
Cheers ?

After this night, i bring my results.
I have activated dev options, and my phone says "Connected, running sync loop". I went to sleep at 2am and the watch battery was 82% and phone battery was 71%. When i woke up, my watch was off and my phone has 22%. I looked at the battery graphic and in the first position was Bluetooth.

Bluetooth stop working after 4-5 hrs, weekly eu rom's

Very frustrated issue. I have Mi Band bracelet with enabled unlock and notifications features. For half a day all good - unlock and notifications working. After couple of hours, unlock icon in status bar is become gray, and these features stop working. Mi Fit app can't find band. Only one solution - force disable/enable bluetooth manually. After that - all good for next hours, and later all over again.

Hi, same issue here.
Bluetooth is very patchy and I was previously on the SMIUI ROM, now flashed to CM 12.1 and the bluetooth bug is still there.
I wonder if it's a hardware issue?
It is not a hardware issue. It is a ROM issue. Some ROMs (e.g.. MR-7.2.3.0) don't have this problem.
I'm also having this problem (but with my Pebble Time) I've understood a baseband update does not help. Or do people here have other experiences?
I see doing a full wipe of the Xiamoi.eu rom. Does this solve the problem?
Thanks for your help
No solutions for now. Developers know about it, but no fix for miui 7. Maybe for miui 8 in next month.

Bluetooth problems on Nougat

Hello,
after updating to Nougat i have noticed that my bluetooth turns itself off sometimes, som days just one time but some days up to five times.
i notice it because i have a android wear watch.
I did a clean update, i'm rooted but with slightly modified kernel, ran the script that adds back drm and twrp.
Tried to exclude bluetooth from powersave settings, and also android wear, but it still disables itself sometimes.
i do not have the stamina mode enabled.
Does anyone have the same problem?

if you have any VPN or Adguard, make sure it doesn't route bluetooth share traffic...
ANT HAL is another thing to look at aswell

Oh, I for got to mention, when I was first testing Bluetooth when the Z5C launched, I found Mirror service would create a bluetooth connection to paired devices, without authority, if this happens, normal bluetooth functions are lost because the device cannot create a new connection while the other one is active.
As a result, one of the first apps I disable when I flash is Mirror Link Service: com.sonymobile.mirrorlink.server11
it'll poll, connect, try to link the available services, and if there is no match for service type, it forgets to remove the connection.
it happens to bluetooth pairing with notebooks - because there is no "Audio Unit/Head"
I had a post about it on the Sony forums, and I think the CManagers gave feedback to the devs.
if you have any cast or screen mirror shortcuts enabled for display in quick settings, move them in to the unused drawer when you edit. anything appearing in any of the pages for quick settings will keep that app's service alive
Does anyone helse have problems with BLE/smart bluetooth on Nougat? Since the upgrade I've not been able to add my bluetooth heart rate strap.

Lots of activity over in the 3 XL forums. I wonder if the Q build will fix the screen flash with AOD? Also I have 4 Pixel 3s and if I go to the beta page there is no way to determine which is mine and which is someone else's. Any help with that?

Probably best to just manually flash the factory image in fastboot if you cannot tell which device is which.
If you've enabled navigation buttons, it appears that the task switching button no longer functions. Very annoying.
Is the Q beta 1 is suitable for daily usage?
Working fine so far, Installed OTA through the Beta Programm and did a factory reset.

To manually disable and enable dark mode.
Disable "adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 1"
Enable "adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 2"
If the above does not work to disable try this "adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode"
gmail is working fine here. So far i have not one single Problem. Imo the whole system is faster the finger unlock is faster and the battery drain is better than on pie. I like it very much at the moment.

How are you toggling between the two? If neither one is on a call can each receive a call? Does the eSim manager menu look different?

In network & internet>mobile network> carrier you can switch between esim & simcard. When I meant toggle only one sim is in standby. No nothing different in esim manager.

Losing mobile data connection randomly on MIUI 11 EU Android 10

So i have a clean flashed EU ROM and i randomly lose mobile data connection (4G) for a few seconds and it then comes back. I don't lose the mobile network, but the 4G data sign just vanishes and then comes back again in a flash. This is really annoying especially while playing online games where 1 sec of internet disconnection is the difference between a win and a loss.
I'm on MIUI 11 EU ANDROID 10.

I too dirty flashed the ROM again and it worked without any problems for sometime and then out of nowhere it started to do this again. I hope it doesn't affect you as well but it looks like it most probably will. :crying:
Might be this will be helpful. What I noticed in Stock Miui 11.0.4 when the wifi calling is ON then I noticed call drops. So I have turned off the wifi calling and using the VOLTE only and everything is fine. I think wifi calling technology is not yet stable enough to use. We need to wait for some more. So you may try this thing. Turn off wifi Calling and set data roaming to always and see if it fix the problem.

I did that on the first boot but to no Vail. Currently I downloaded the latest vendor from akhilnarang's website to see if it is a vendor problem. Everything I tried before has done nothing.

Are you on EU version like me or the stock global ?
I received the update last week on stock rom in EU. Since then severe problems with mobile data, it only works in cities where 4G+ is available. 4G, 3G and E don't work at all or only rarely.
Does someone have a solution to that? BTW also my camera is broken since the update. After every picture it says "processing HDR+" forever (even showing a notification for that that never disappears). My proximity sensor also has some problems... Never change a running system I guess.

There doesn't seem to be any fix (none that I know of until now). Till now I tried reflashing the ROM, installing the akhilnarang vendor and now I'm testing LTE band locking using network signal guru.
It might just be a placebo effect, but I think flashing the vendor somewhat reduced the problems with mobile data. You should give it a try and give feedback here.

Disable "Xiaomi Framework Service"
Same issue for me on a Xiaomi Mi9 Lite with xiaomi.eu rom.
After lots of workarounds tried I finally discovered the cause : "Xiaomi Service Framework".
It's a system app that resets mobile data connection when it detects or thinks there's no internet connection.
I use an intranet apn to connect to my company network, so my phone is not connected to internet when the apn is active and it was really annoying to have those data connection drops.
As I'm not using any Xiaomi Service (mi cloud and others) and my phone is rooted, the solution for me was to disable the app and problem solved!
Good luck

Hi there!
İve stumbled upon you post. Right now i have xiaomi Mi 9 with stock MİUİ 12.0.3
Since this update İ notice Losing mobile data connection randomly.
i randomly lose mobile data connection (4G) for a few seconds and it then comes back. the 4G data sign along antenna sign just vanishes (greys out) and then comes back again in a second.
İ suppose its very similar to your case. İts getting very frustrating
Have you by any chance got any workaround ?
