How to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi Mi Band 4: all the ways and nuances

The Xiaomi Mi Band 4 fitness bracelet remains a popular gadget even years after its release, because its simplicity, reliability and functionality attract users. One of the most popular features is an alarm clock that helps you wake up on time without too much noise. However, not everyone knows how to turn it off correctly when it is no longer needed - especially if the signal is triggered at the wrong time or you want to temporarily suspend reminders.

In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off the alarm clock on the Mi Band 4: through the official Mi Fit app (or its alternatives), directly from the bracelet screen, and also consider typical errors that prevent users from successfully deactivating the signal.

If you are faced with a situation where the alarm clock continues to vibrate despite all manipulations, do not rush to reset the bracelet to factory settings. 90% of the time the problem is solved by simple actions, which we described below.

Ways to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi Mi Band 4: a review of methods

There are three main ways to turn off the alarm on the Mi Band 4, each of which is suitable for different situations:

  • πŸ“± Through the Mi Fit application, the most reliable method that allows you to manage all settings remotely.
  • ⌚ Directly on the bracelet - convenient if there is no smartphone at hand, but requires knowledge of the interface.

The choice of method depends on which version of the firmware your bracelet is using, as well as the current circumstances. For example, if the Mi Fit is not synced with the device, you will have to act through the Mi Band 4 menu.

Method 1: Turn off the alarm clock through the Mi Fit app

The official Mi Fit app is the simplest and most intuitive way to control alarm clocks, to turn off the signal:

  1. Open Mi Fit on your smartphone and wait for synchronization with the bracelet.
  2. Go to Profile β†’ Devices β†’ Xiaomi Mi Band 4.
  3. Select the Alarms (or Reminders in some versions).
  4. Find an active alarm clock in the list and move the slider to the right to deactivate it.
  5. Confirm the changes – the data is automatically synchronized with the bracelet.

If the alarm clock doesn’t disappear from the list after turning it off, try:

  • πŸ”„ Reboot the Mi Fit app (close and reopen).
  • πŸ“Ά Reconnect the bracelet to your phone via Bluetooth.
  • πŸ—‘οΈ Remove the alarm completely (click on the cart next to it) and create a new one if necessary.

Important! Mi Fit may have different interfaces in some regions, like the Chinese version of the app, where the alarm section is called (characterized) and if you use informal firmware, the menu may look different, see the alternative methods section.

Method 2: Turn off the alarm clock directly on the bracelet

If you don’t have access to your smartphone or Mi Fit doesn’t work, you can turn off the alarm right on the Xiaomi Mi Band 4.

  1. Swipe your finger up the bracelet screen to open the main menu.
  2. Find the icon of the alarm clock (pictured bell) and tap it.
  3. In the list of active alarm clocks, choose the right one and hold your finger on it for 2-3 seconds.
  4. A menu will appear with the option to turn off (or Off) - confirm the choice.

On Mi Band 4 with Chinese firmware, the path may be different:

Main screen β†’" (More) β†’" (Alarm clock) β†’ "Select alarm clock β†’" (Switch off)

If the alarm doesn’t turn off the first time, try:

  • πŸ”‹ Reset the bracelet (hold the touch button for 10 seconds until vibration).
  • πŸ“΅ Disconnect and reconnect it to the phone.
  • πŸ› οΈ Update the firmware through Mi Fit (Section Update).
What to do if the alarm clock menu does not open?
If you click on the alarm icon, the screen flashes or nothing happens, this may indicate a firmware failure. Try: 1. Reset the bracelet to factory settings (in Mi Fit β†’ Settings β†’ Reset). 2. Reinstall the Mi Fit app on your smartphone. 3. Check if the bracelet battery is discharged (charge to 100%). If the problem remains, perhaps the touch screen is damaged (repair required).

Method 3: Managing alarm clocks through alternative applications

Users who use informal firmware (such as Custom Firmware for Mi Band 4) or are faced with Mi Fit limitations can control alarm clocks through third-party utilities.

  • πŸ”§ Notify & Fitness for Mi Band – Supports advanced settings, including flexible alarm management.
  • πŸ› οΈ Mi Band Master – allows you to create and remove alarm clocks without being tied to Mi Fit.
  • πŸ“Š Tools & Mi Band – utility for advanced users with the function of backup settings.

To turn off the alarm clock through Notify & Fitness:

  1. Open the app and connect to the bracelet.
  2. Go to the Alarms section.
  3. Find the right alarm clock and uncheck next to it or click Delete.
  4. Sync changes with the device (Sync button in the upper right corner).

Warning: Third-party apps may conflict with Mi Fit. If after using them, the bracelet began to work unstable (for example, does not show notifications or quickly discharges), reset your settings and return to the official software.

If you use an informal firmware, always back up your alarm settings before updating, and if they fail, they can be quickly restored.

Typical problems and their solutions

Even after the alarm clock is turned off in Mi Fit or on the wristband, it can still go off, and let's look at the most common causes and ways to eliminate them:

Problem.Possible causeDecision
The alarm clock vibrates, although switched off in Mi FitUnsynchronized data between phone and braceletReboot both devices and re-sync.
It is impossible to find the section of alarm clocks on the braceletChinese firmware with a different menu is installedUse Mi Fit or re-show the bracelet on the global version
The alarm clock is triggered at random times.Activated reminder of inaction or other notificationCheck out the Reminders section in Mi Fit
After the Mi Fit update, the alarm clocks disappearedResetting settings in the new version of the applicationRe-create alarm clocks and synchronize

A critical feature of the Mi Band 4 is that if the alarm clock was created through a third-party application (such as the Mi Band Master), it will not appear in Mi Fit and vice versa.

Another common mistake is the confusion between alarm clocks and reminders, and there are two separate features on Mi Band 4:

  • πŸ”” Alarms – Single or repeated time signals.
  • ⏰ Idle alerts – Vibration every 30 to 60 minutes if you don’t move for a long time.

To disable the second, go to Mi Fit β†’ Device Profile β†’ Inactivity reminders.

How to remove all alarm clocks at once

If you need to massively remove all alarm clocks (for example, before selling a bracelet or resetting), do the following:

  1. Open Mi Fit and go to the alarm section.
  2. Click on the Edit icon (pencil in the upper right corner).
  3. Select all alarm clocks (checks next to each) and click Remove.
  4. Confirm the action and wait for synchronization.

You can't have mass removal on the wristband itself, you have to turn off each alarm individually, and if there's too many, it's easier to reset the device to the factory settings.

Attention! The reset will remove all data from the bracelet, including activity statistics, screen settings and attached notifications. Before you do so, export important information to Mi Fit (Data Export section).

Mass removal of alarm clocks is possible only through Mi Fit, and on the bracelet itself you have to turn off each signal manually.

Frequent User Questions (FAQ)

Can I turn off the alarm on Mi Band 4 without a phone?
Yes, it's possible through the bracelet menu. To do this, swipe up the screen, find the alarm icon (bell), select the desired signal and hold it for 2-3 seconds to appear on the shutdown menu. However, if the alarm was created through Mi Fit, you may need to sync with your smartphone to completely remove it.
Why does the alarm go off when I have turned it off?
Most likely: The sync between the Mi Fit and the bracelet is not over (check Bluetooth and reboot both devices). You have turned off the alarm in the app, but not on the bracelet itself (or vice versa); another notification (such as a reminder of inactivity or an event from the calendar) has been activated. Try to remove the alarm completely and create it again.
How to make the alarm only work on weekdays?
In Mi Fit, you can select the days of the week when you create your alarm. To do this: Create a new alarm. In Repeat, uncheck Saturday and Sunday. Save settings and sync with the bracelet. There is no such option on the Mi Band 4 itself - Repetition Days are only available through the app.
What if the alarm section disappeared from Mi Fit after the update?
Sometimes, after the Mi Fit update, the interface changes and the alarm section moves or disappears. Try: Update the app to the latest version in Google Play/App Store. Reconnect the bracelet to your phone (Mi Fit β†’ Profile β†’ Disable the device β†’ Reconnect). Use an alternative app (such as Notify & Fitness). If the problem persists, check if the Mi Fit beta version is installed - it may contain errors.
Can I tune the alarm clock to Mi Band 4?
No, Xiaomi Mi Band 4 supports only vibration signal without audio. If you need a tune, use an alarm clock on your smartphone or a smartwatch with a speaker (for example, Xiaomi Watch S1). Vibration on the bracelet is adjusted only by intensity (weak / strong) in the Settings β†’ Vibration section.
