Am I the only one having trouble connecting my Bedside Yeelight lamp to the Mi Home app? I have no problems connecting it to my backup motorola phone with either the Yeelight or the Mi Home app.
However with the new Redmi Note 5 Pro im having trouble, ive tried everything, ive reset the lamps multiple times, I have changed server to china and english as language. The Mi Home app just dosent wanna notice the Bedside lamp, ive entered the settings on the backup phone and presset reset device, i have tried updating the firmware but it says that it has the latest. The Mi Home app is the latest version.
Im out of ideas on how to get this to work, anyone knows? Pretty weird that a xiaomi product dosent work properly with. Could it be MIUI blocking the bluetooth connection or seomthing?

I could never get yeelight setup on any phone. I know it can't connect to 5gb wifi. I've given up on it. That thing sucks.

Hi all,
Not sure if this is a common problem, but on my Pixel 2 XL, I cannot get any other phone to connect to it via Bluetooth?? I'm trying this so I can try Daydream with the Controller Emulator app but so far, 3 different android phones can pair, but will not connect. Have tried all the basic troubleshooting, any ideas??
Cheers for any help!

Yeah, same here. I thought I was doing something wrong so it's kind of nice, sorry, to see I am not the only one having this problem. I had tried all of my phones and even the newest on that I replaced with the Pixel 2 XL. Maybe because we just got an update to 6.1.0? Maybe that's what has changed and I hope we can figure this out. I have a really nice headset that I would like to try Daydream with to see if I want to take the plunge for the Headset and controller.
I was having a similar issue with my Pebble app. Watch would pair with phone, but the app would not connect or would have issues connecting. Turns out I needed to add special permission for unrestricted data usage for the pebble app. Also, bluetooth is by default optimized under battery options. I tried leaving it there and it killed the connection after about 20 minutes and I couldn't reestablish it. So, it's not being optimized now.
I also had issues with phone to phone file transfers using bluetooth. It worked once then stopped. I'm going to see if the file transfer service maybe needs special permissions like the pebble app did.
None of this was an issue on 7.0 so not sure what's changed.
Edit: So the Pebble thing was resolved with a factory reset of the watch. Turns out to be coincidence that it stayed connected for a day after the permissions change. The file transfer over usb is still having issues.
It seems like Google's update did something to it I believe
Hi friends, I have a curious problem. On my Gree brand air conditioners the application recognizes and allows you to remotely control air conditioners only if I am connected with Wi-Fi. If instead I am connected with 4G it tells me that the machines are not connected. The app works like this: I created an account and then added it to the account (cloud). From the phone of my girlfriend, xiaomi redmi note 5, instead everything works very well even with the 4G connection. It is as if from my phone the Gree server was not reachable. I've already tried resetting android network settings without success. How do you think I can solve? My phone has root (magisk manager). Thanks in advance for the help you can give me.

Probably Gree's issue. Some apps may not be optimized for each devices
Hi, the strangest thing is that until a few days ago I could connect to air conditioners remotely (4G). Suddenly it stopped working. I tried also from samsung galaxy tab 10 tablet but even from there it doesn't connect. Could there be any network settings to verify? Something that prevents devices from reaching the server? Thank you.
Resolved. This is an update of the app that creates this problem. Returning to the previous version works. Thank you.
Brand new Mi Band 4. Installed Mi Fit. Device shows up in Bluetooth "Available Devices" (though usually only by MAC address), but Mi Fit just shows "Searching" (for over an hour now).
Running a LineageOS equivalent to Android 6.0.1.
First of all, make sure that you do not have Mi Band paired with your system bluetooth service, it can interfere with the initial pairing in Mi Fit.
Then try force closing Mi Fit, turning bluetooth off and on again and if nothing works, try pairing with a 3rd party app in standalone mode https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=blacknote.mibandmaster
I assume if it shows up in "Available devices" instead of "Paired devices" then I don't have it paired with the system bluetooth service. I have tried all of your suggestions (even rebooting several times), and none of them have worked so far, with the same behavoir when using Master for Mi Band - the band appears in "Available Devices" (again only with its MAC address), but the application can't find it.
Can you connect to the band with this app? It has a pairing mode where you can put MAC address directly. You won't be able to finish pairing without the authorization code though.
Btw. have you tried the band with another phone which has more recent Android and Bluetooth version?

Which app? I have also tried Gadgetbridge (in case you mean that one), and yes indeed, the app sees the band (identifying it with both "Mi Smart Band 4" and the MAC address, but I can't do anything beyond that (tapping on the icon for the band does nothing). I do eventually want to use Gadgetbridge only, so I only want to pair with any of the other apps to obtain the authorization code.

I have not tried that (yet). That looks like the next step. Do you know if I can transfer an authorization code from one phone to another (and have it work, of course)?
Factory reset your mi band
How do I factory reset it (without pairing it first)?

I meant Notify & Fitness, somehow managed to forget to include the link
Authorization code is definitely tied to the band MAC address and other parameters, but if you can use the same code between different phones.. Frankly no idea. After a factory reset of the band, authorization code changes.
Mi Band Master is probably the only app which can obtain authorization code without using original or modified Mi Fit - you might try using it on a different phone and then transfer whole app data to your phone.
Btw. which Mi Fit are you trying? The original one or patched?
I have only tried the original one so far.

I think I thanked the wrong post. I managed to pair it with a differenet device (Android 7.0), and then the pairing key worked fine on the older device that I want to use with it (for now).
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I had connected the Mi Band 4 to MI fit mod+, to connect it to a new phone I unpaired it from within the app, after that moment the band shows the message "pair first" and "Regulatory" only and I can't connect the app nor the the new phone nor to the older one. I can't even reset it since there isn't that action on the band. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
at setting try to "factory reset" and then try to connect Mi Band 4 again
I have the same issue, problem is that the other options are not available anymore, just pair first and repository. And I couldn't find the reset option at the Mi Fit App. I tryed to run a firmware update by the app Notify and Fitness but it doesn't complete. Really don't know what to do...
i recently switch phones from my Honor View10 to Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G. The former phone is where i used to use and the first phone my Galaxy Watch ever paired with. However, when trying to set it up on my new phone (the Mi 10 Pro 5G), it just won't connect at all. i did went to the Watch's settings and select the "Connect to a new phone" option that wipes the data on the Watch. i tried several walk through i could ever see and think of, but to no avail. Here are what i have tried aside from the settings part:
- Manually pair the Watch via the Phone's Bluetooth - apparently the Watch did manage to pair, but just won't stay connected, it automatically disconnects immediately after connecting (see attached pic)
- Allowed all the Wear App and the Galaxy Watch Plugin's permissions on the Phone
- Factory Reset the Watch via the Recovery option
- Reflashed the Watch's firmware via this thread and sourced the missing firmware files from this thread
the Watch remains stuck on the "Check your phone to complete setup" screen for several days now, and i'm starting to get frustrated over this. Before reflashing the firmware, i tried to reconnect the watch to my old Honor View10 phone, and it no longer connects there too! same issue with Bluetooth connection dropping as soon as it connects.
help is very much appreciated.
