How To Use Mi Band With Windows Phone Explained - All You Need To Know

How Do I Change The Settings of the Mi Band 2?

Once you hit 'device' on the burger menu you are led to the most important part of the menu, the menu that lets you control the Mi Band 2. Here you can check the battery percentage and last charged date on the top.

Next, you have the firmware update option that was introduced on the latest version of the Bind Mi Band app. Firmware update does not seem to bring you the latest firmware as I noticed the firmware got updated to 1.0.1.34 on the Mi Fit app latest update but sadly that did not come on the Bind Mi Band app. You can still update the firmware if you are stuck on the factory version. A handy guide on the firmware update and problems associated with this issue can be found in this link.

Next, on the list, we have the wear location, you can set whether you wear the Mi Band on the left hand, right hand or neck (which is nearly impossible).

You have the display setting just below that, where you can configure what items you want to display on the Mi Band 2. Since I like all the information, I have selected all the options, you can choose to select or deselect any display items of your choice. The new setting here is the ability to toggle the date display on or off on the home screen o f the Mi Band 2.

Next, on the dossier, you get the activity reminder. Remember in the Mi Band 2 article we had mentioned that the Mi Band 2 reminds you if you have been sitting idle for over an hour or more. This setting relates to that. You can set it on and set the times in the day between which you want the get reminded to walk. The do not disturb option comes next where you can ask the Mi Band 2 display to switch off whenever you want it to. This is particularly useful during the night where you do not want the OLED display to shine bright in your face. The do not disturb mode fires up on its own when the Mi Band 2 realises you are asleep. A moon icon lights up on the Mi Band 2 to let you know that the mode has been switched on. You can also configure the times in which you want the Mi Band 2 to get into this mode. You can change if you want the watch to highlight on wrist lift action which comes next in the menu. Finally, you have the flip display on wrist rotate, show goal reached notification and measure heart rate during sleep. The flip display on wrist rotate lets you switch you between screens on the Mi Band 2 with the flick of the wrist instead of touching the sensor button. You got the "goal reached" notification that alerts you when you have completed your daily quota of steps. Finally, you have the measure heart rate during sleep which enhances the reading on the sleep data by analysing your heart rate. On the profile menu its lets you change any of the personal data that you entered during app start. The settings menu is next which we talked about earlier.

Finally, you have got the about menu, which lists the app version and changelog.
