"I’ve begun the code adaptation for new miband 5. For now, can’t say how much time this can take. I’m planning to spend last summer days far away from the computer, so approximately, first beta would be at the end of the October. Regards,
Artem"

First of all a BIG THANK YOU for your work and your effort. I'm using it with my boy with the MI Band 4 but it was impossible for me to make it work with Android 10 in a Oneplus 6T (XDrip+ reads data from Nightscout but it does not upgrade the screen although it is connected with the Mi Band 4) Did you know about this? Is it a problem of Android 10 or the phone? Will this work with the MiBand 5?

Sorry but I am not the developer of it. :)
I just quoted the developer's (@bigdigital) statement.

Hi there, full day using the xdrip on miband and i'm loving it💪
But i have notice that is some funcionalities left: breathing, stress, PAI and events.
And there is also the cicles( for women).
But untill now, working good.

Hey there, I ve tried it today and the Installation went fine, but my Glucose Level is Not updating. Only from time to time. Do you have an Idea why that could be?

Check the nightmode settings in miband menu. If you have enabled night mode, you will receive updated data according to the intervals configured in nigtmode intervals.

Thanks, will check if it is possible to add those settings. Meanwhile, you can configure these functionalities in mifit settings.

Hmm, the nightmode is Off. And Just in Case, I ve set it to "live" (but still not activated)

Non riesco ad impostare il quadrante o meglio riesco a metterlo ma la glicemia non cambia, rimane la stessa

After un- und reinstalling everything several times, I still don't know what to do and how to solve the problem:

• no battery saving mods active (Xiaomi Mi9T)
• no "night mode" active
• mi band is authenticated and connected to drip
• mi fit app is deleted (tried with both, installed & uninstalled with same results/issues)
• "bg readings as notifications" is working fine (every 5 minutes)

the xdrip watch face is not updating: sometimes it works for 3 times (3x5min) then it takes 20min, 25min,....it seems to be random...

if I go to xdrip settings and change 10h to 24h, it takes 5 sec to change it in the watch face. but settings like "show weather", "show activity" etc. are not working. Seems like the lower part of the watch face is not updating.

If I deactivate "bg readings as notifications" it is also not going back to the regular watch face ....what it is supposed to be, right?

it seems it is trying to sync but sometimes after the syncing animation, there is this white cross on red and it says it "couldn't sync"

Please let me know if anyone has an idea what I can try, thanks :)

I have exactly the same problem. With mi band 5 Watchface is updating randomly. I tried everything what you said wihtout any success.

Android: 10
Miui: 12
Miband 5
Xdrip + MiaoMiao2 + libre

I don't have issues with red sign after syncing - i saw it once. But I have issue like in screenshot. This is only watchface syncing related. Sending notifications works well. Syncing watchface is triggered on xdrip side - but usually it ends with this error. Trying to force this manually works in 1 of 5 tries.

Tried every Bluetooth settings available.

I have idea of dumb solution - retrying until it will work ;). One notice - its easier to update couple seconds after xdrip get BG readings from miaomiao.

@bigdigital - did you noticed such behavior before?

[bigdigital]

@bigdigital - did you noticed such behavior before?

Nope, never had such error. Looks like something happen with Bluetooth connection. Please try to enable the option "Disable hight MTU" which is located under experimental section in miband menu settings. If this does not help, could you please send me a detailed error log? For this please go xdrip Settings->Less common settings-> Extra logging -> Extra tags for loggings and enter here “MibandService:d” (without quotes) . After this go to “Less common settings” -> View recent error interface. Leave enabled only “Low” checkbox . Search “Begin uploading Watchface” message and make a print screens till the error. You can send screenshots to my email bigdigital.[email protected]

I'm having trouble getting this set up.

I installed the modified Mi Fit app, and succesfully had the auth key saved on the phone. Then, I uninstall the modified app, and install the official app. When I do this, it goes through and updates the firmware again. Does this change the auth code? When I go into xdrip it always says it can't connect. I've tried entering the MAC manually, but then it says the auth key is wrong. I noticed the modified app is 4.2.0, and the new version of the official app is 4.5.6. Do I need to install version 4.2.0 of the official app??

[davidmtml]

I thought I saw that I can use the official xDrip app (which is what I've been doing, and it's the latest nightly from today, Sep 3 2020). Do I need to install the modified Mi xDrip app?

@davidmtml yes, you have to use the modified app

Thank you! I have downloaded the modified app and it is working great!

I was using a version of xDrip from March that didn't have Mi Band listed under "Smart Watch Features" and when I updated to the latest official it was there. Then I read something that said you could use the official xDrip app, but either they were wrong or I read it wrong!

The nightmode does not seem to work on my band 5. The screen keeps lighten up on new data.

The nightmode does not seem to work on my band 5. The screen keeps lighten up on new data.

I think the nightmode does not suspend the data updates, but you can extend the interval of updates(120minutes maximum between updates, and also reduce the brightness).

[Klaus3d3]

Thats what i meant. The screen brightness does not reduce.

[bigdigital]

The nightmode does not seem to work on my band 5. The screen keeps lighten up on new data.

During watch face update the screen brightness would be decreased (but it wouldn't be completely switched off). Does it work like this for you? if not, could you please send me a debug log like described here ](https://bigdigital.home.blog/2020/08/25/new-xdrip-now-supports-miband-5/#debug) ?
