How to tie Mi Band 3 to a new phone

Changing a smartphone often turns into a real stress test for the user, especially when there are wearable gadgets in the ecosystem. Owners of Xiaomi fitness bracelets face the need not only to install the application, but also to transfer the accumulated statistics correctly. Fitness tracker stores the history of activity, sleep and pulse that you want to save when you switch to a new device. The process seems simple, but has its technical nuances, ignoring which leads to loss of data or the inability of pairing.

Many users make the mistake of trying to connect the bracelet immediately through Bluetooth settings in Android or iOS. This is the wrong approach, since the device is controlled exclusively through specialized software. For the correct operation of the smartphone-bracelet bundle, both devices require preliminary preparation. Only by observing the sequence of actions, you can guarantee stable notifications and accuracy of measurements.

The first step is to install the necessary software on the new device, and the main control tool for the Mi Band 3 is the Mi Fit application (known as Zepp Life) or Mi Fitness. Download the current version is best from the official stores of Google Play or App Store to avoid malicious modifications. After installation, you need to register with the Xiaomi account system or log into an existing profile. 💡Always use the same Mi Account on all devices, which is the only way to synchronize the activity history between the old and new phone, and it is important to give the app all the permissions you request right after you first run. Without access to geolocation, Bluetooth and notifications, the tracker’s functionality will be severely limited. Android often aggressively saves battery power, so a companion app should prioritize “No Limits” in its power saving settings, which will prevent permanent connection breaks in the background.

The key that many forget is to untie the device from the old phone. Mi Band 3 can only work with one smartphone at a time. If you just turn on Bluetooth on the new device and try to find the tracker, the search will not give anything or give a connection error. First, you need to break the connection with the old gadget through the application interface. Open Mi Fit on the old phone, go to the device profile and select the option “Untie” or “Unpair” then the vibration signal and the corresponding icon appear on the tracker screen. If the old one does not get a connection, you need to tie the device to the full button, you will have it to the device, or you will have it will have to the device, you will have to make a “Unlock” or “Unlock the button from the device, you will be removed from the device, or you will have to the device.

After preparing both devices, you can start the direct connection. Launch the application on the new phone and go to the Profile section. At the top of the screen will be the Add Device button. Choose from the list of wearable gadgets model Mi Band 3. App will request permission to use Bluetooth and geolocation – confirm the actions. 💡Device search only happens when you are in the gadget add menu; just Bluetooth enabled in the smartphone system does not guarantee the tracker detection. 1-2 You'll see a pulsating Bluetooth icon on the tracker screen, and you'll be asked to confirm the pairing. You'll touch the touch button on the bracelet to confirm the action. At that point, you'll exchange encryption keys, and the devices will be connected. The process can take anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the speed of the Bluetooth module.

One of the main purposes of reconnection is to keep the archive of activity. If you sign in to the same Mi Account you used before, the story will be pulled from the cloud automatically when you first connect to Wi-Fi. However, if the account is new or the data is not synced with the old phone, the local history on the bracelet may be lost when reset. 💡The bracelet keeps detailed statistics only for the last 7-10 For forced sync, open the home page of the app and pull the screen down until the update indicator appears. Make sure the connection is stable. If the data is not displayed, check the date and time on your smartphone – time desynchronization can lead to steps recording errors. Correct timing is critical for charting sleep and activity.

Sometimes the process of establishing communication is not smooth, the device may not be located, reset the connection or display data incorrectly, often the problem lies in the cache of the Bluetooth services of the operating system. In such cases, it helps to clean the cache of the Mi Fit application and reboot the Bluetooth module on the phone. Problem Possible reason Bracelet solution not found Active connection in old phone Untie device in the application on old gadget No notifications Background activity Block Allow autostart and work in the background for Mi Fit Frequent communication breaks Energy saving system Install Priority of the High process Wrong time Synchronization Error Forced to update data in the application ⚠️ Note: Do not try to connect the bracelet to two phones at the same time. This will result in protocol conflict and permanent connection breaks on both devices.

FAQ: Can you tie the Mi Band 3 to two phones at the same time? No, the Bluetooth Low Energy architecture used in Xiaomi trackers doesn't support simultaneous active connection to two smartphones. The bracelet can be "registered" in the account, but it keeps active communication with only one device. To switch, you need to perform the untying procedure every time. What to do if the bracelet does not vibrate when calling? Check the notification settings in the Mi Fit app. Make sure that the Incoming Calls slider is active. Also check if the Mi Account is not set to the new mode. If the button is not re-up, you use the button on the button on the button, then the button on the button, you are not used to switch the button on the button. If you're creating a new account or haven't been connected to the Internet on your old phone for a long time, the local data on the wristband can be overwritten with new data after synchronization. Do you need to completely discharge the bracelet before you first connect? No, modern lithium polymer batteries don't require "swinging"; in fact, deep discharge is bad for the battery, just charge the device to 100% before active use, so that the calibration of the power controller is correct. ⚠️ Note: When you reset your bracelet settings through the Unleash menu, any unsaved data for the current day will be deleted without recovery.

The stable operation of the Mi Band 3 depends not only on the correctness of the initial setting, but also on the operating conditions. Try to keep water out of the charging contacts area, even despite the declared moisture protection. Regularly cleaning the sensor from sweat and dirt will improve the accuracy of the pulse measurement and sensor response speed. How to extend the battery life?Reduce the pulse rate to 10-30 minutes instead of 1 minute, turn off the wrist lift to turn on the screen and reduce brightness. This will increase the autonomy from 7 to 12-14 days. Follow these simple rules of fitness will ensure that you have a smooth operation of this new rule for your health. Don’t neglect the firmware updates that the manufacturer releases periodically, as they often contain Bluetooth stack error fixes.
