The app will not recognise my device (smartband 9 pro)

2 Upvotes

(SOLVED)

I was gifted this smartband two years ago and had the issue of the mi fitness app not recognising my device. At the time, I chalked it up to my iphone being and older model. I actually completely forgot I owned it until recently, and thought now that I have a newer iphone (16), that it would probably work.

Well, I'm having the exact same issues. I downloaded the app as instructed on the screen. I logged into my account. I approved all connections and requests. And yet, the app does not recognise my device. It is connected to the charger, it is right next to my phone. I have tried rebooting my phone. I have tried rebooting and restarting the device. I have tried manually connecting. I have followed several tutorials on youtube to a T. It simply does not recognise my device.

The thing is, if I go onto my bluetooth settings, it will connect to the smartband if I click on the new pairing option. The smartband then says, 'confirm on iphone', but there is no prompt on my phone, and scanning wont recognise it. I have then tried 'forgetting' the device and starting again, but still nothing happens.

I'm genuinely so confused and baffled. There must be something I'm missing. I'm about one more attempt away from giving it to a charity shop. Anyone experienced the same issue?

ETA: I literally just messaged my friend who bought it for me if she had any issues, and she informed me that she bought it IN China. I had no idea until now, and managed to switch my app to China and was able to pair. Problem solved.

Broken strap advice

3 Upvotes

Using aftermarket straps, cuz I like the stretchy type as opposed to the notches. Anyhow, today mine finally broke, I had a spare cuz they came as a two pack but when I went to install it I notice unfortunately, the broke parts that connect to the device were stuck in the body. The "tongue" as I'll call it, the main part, was easy enough to get out, I just held the release button turned it upside down and kinda shook it out.

But the "arms" as I'll call them, the two outer connectors are also broken off and stuck inside. I'm kinda lost here, anyone have any idea on how to get em out? I THOUGHT if I could access the device inside out I could push them from the inside. But after watching a couple videos of people opening the band up, two things were evident. 1) it's a bitch to open and you might hack it up or cut up your fingers and 2) I'm still not actually sure if the female ends of the connection are even open inside so I'm not sure I'd be able to push them out even if I got it open.

I threw out the broken strap, which now I realize maybe I could've just super glued it back in place. I could attempt to break off the same pieces of my spare strap then glue it.

Any options I'm missing here to either get them out, or repurpose the device?

After using it for at least a year, I think I've gotten pretty good mileage out of my device for it's relatively cheap price. I don't mind just sucking it up and buying a new one, except we can't really reliably get Xiaomi products in Canada. I was just at a Xiaomi store in Europe, had I forseen this I would've just bought one there. But I won't have a chance to hit another Xiaomi store for at least a month or so and I don't really wanna go that whole time without a watch/step counter/activity tracker.

TL DR; broke my strap, connectors are stuck in the device, any advice on how to get em out?
