How to disable the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 fitness bracelet from your phone

Ownership of Xiaomi wearables often starts with enthusiasm, but sometimes there are situations when you need to break the digital connection between the gadget and the smartphone. This can be due to selling the device, transferring it to another family member, or simply wanting to clean the list of associated devices in the system. Users often wonder how to correctly and safely perform this procedure so as not to lose accumulated data and not face synchronization errors in the future.

The process of disabling the Mi Band 4 is not limited to simply turning off Bluetooth on the phone, since the device stores a profile in the application memory. The wrong sequence of actions can lead to the fact that the bracelet will continue to try to connect to the phone, draining the battery, or health data will not be transferred to new devices.

Properly disabling the device through the application is the only way to guarantee complete data cleanup and the readiness of the gadget for a new (pairing).

Preparation for uncoupling of the device

Before you start technical manipulations, you need to perform a number of preparatory steps that will ensure the stability of the process. First of all, make sure that the battery charge of your fitness bracelet is at least 20-30%. Although the detachment procedure consumes minimal energy, suddenly turning off the device in the middle of the synchronization process can lead to software failures in the firmware tracker.

It is also critical to check the version of the Mi Fit app installed (or Zepp Life, as the service has been renamed).Outdated versions of the software may not properly handle device removal requests, especially if you plan to connect the bracelet to a new phone with a different operating system later.

It's not superfluous to back up your data if you value your activity statistics over the years. While detachment doesn't usually remove the history from Xiaomi's cloud account, reinsurance is never superfluous when working with wearable electronics. Make sure that the latest synchronization was successful and all the steps for today are displayed in the app.

• 📱 Charge the bracelet to minimum. 20-30% steady-work.
• 🔄 Update the Mi Fit/Zepp Life app to the latest version.
• ☁️ Perform manual data synchronization before deletion.
• 📶 Make sure your smartphone is connected to the Internet.

Disconnection via Mi Fit (Zepp Life)

The main and most correct way to unplug the Mi Band 4 is to use the functionality of the official application. This is where the main profile of the device is stored, and this is where the command to disconnect should come from. Open the application on your smartphone and go to the Profile tab, which is usually located in the lower right corner of the interface.

In the list of "My devices" find an image of your tracker, click on it, you will be taken to the control menu of a particular gadget, scroll to the bottom of the page where the button "Unbind" (Unbind) is located, the system will warn you that all data will be deleted from the bracelet, but will remain in the cloud.

⚠️ Warning: After confirming the detachment in the application, all alarm settings, step targets and personalized dials on the bracelet itself will be reset to factory values.

If the "Untie" button is inactive or the process is stalling, try restarting your smartphone and repeating the procedure.--In this case, the system blocks the sending of a command to a wearable device, in which case the temporary disconnection of Wi-Fi and the use of mobile Internet to transmit a command to the server helps.

Removing from the Bluetooth smartphone settings

In addition to software untie in the app, you need to remove the device from your phone's Bluetooth system list.This action breaks the direct radio link and prevents automatic reconnection attempts that can annoy the user with constant notifications. Go to the basic settings of your smartphone.

Find the wireless connection section and select Bluetooth. In the list of available and previously paired devices, find the entry "Mi Band 4." Click on the gear icon or long hold on the device name to call the context menu. Select the option "Forget device" or "Unpair pairing."

It is important to follow the correct sequence: first remove the device in the Mi Fit application, and only then forget it in the Bluetooth settings. If you do the opposite, the application may incorrectly process the loss of connection and continue to consider the bracelet active, which will lead to errors when trying to connect it to a new phone.

• 📡 Go to Bluetooth settings on your smartphone.
• ❌ Find Mi Band 4 in the list of connected devices.
• 🗑️ Click on “Forget the device” or “Delete».
• 🔄 Reboot Bluetooth on your phone to clear the cache.

Resetting the bracelet settings

In some cases, especially when preparing a device for sale or transfer to another person, you need to perform a full reset directly on the tracker itself.This will return the Mi Band 4 to the “out of the box” state. To do this, turn on the bracelet screen and swipe left or right (depending on the firmware version), find the “More” or “Settings” menu.

Inside the menu, find System or the gear icon. Scroll through the options list until you see "Reset" or "Unbind." Confirm the action by touching the touch area. The bracelet screen will go out, and in a few seconds the device will reboot, greeting you with a welcome screen with a choice of language.

This procedure is especially useful if you have forgotten the password from the Mi Account account to which the bracelet was attached, or if the application was deleted without prior detachment, in which case resetting through the device menu is the only way to clear the connection history. However, remember that data not sent to the cloud before that time will be lost irrevocably.

⚠️ Note: Performing a reset via the bracelet menu does not delete data from your Xiaomi account, but completely clears the tracker’s internal memory.

Solving the unbundling problems

Sometimes the process of disconnection goes wrong: the application writes an error, the bracelet does not respond or freezes in standby mode. One common cause is a conflict of firmware versions. If your Mi Band 4 has a very old version of the software installed and the application is updated to the latest version, there may be compatibility problems when you command to remove.

In this situation, try to force the bracelet firmware update through the app before unplugging. Go to the device profile and check for updates. If the update does not install, try clearing the Mi Fit app cache in the Android settings (Applications section» → «Mi Fit» → «Memory» → «Clear the cache.“ This often solves problems with the suspended synchronous processes.--ronization.

It's also worth checking the permissions that the app has given you. Make sure that Mi Fit has access to geolocation, Bluetooth and background work.
