it worked for me today for a mi fit band version 1 paired on a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone, Android 9 software, and mi fit app version 4.0.15..
my band wasn’t monitoring my steps and sleep it’s been around 2 weeks even though it’s charged and paired..
thank youuuuuu..

Hi,

I have Mi Band 2 with Mi Fit 4.0.0 it was working fine until last week were it was stuck in 0 steps and it is not tracking sleep anymore

heart pulse is working fine and time can also be synchronized without problem.

I’ve tried your solution and i’ve found that the band was on do not disturb mode and now it accepts and vibrates when incoming calls but still not counting steps

does anyone have solved this issue ?

After getting mifit 3.0 on my android, my mi band-1 acting weird. It connects and count daily step but it’s blank under activity. Same with history…..there is nothing on history for 7 days since I got mi fit 3.0 and upgraded firmware. Sleep isn’t working as well. It’s not recording sleep at all. I tried the above trick, time trick, went back to prior versions of mifit, unpair-pair, uninstall-reinstall, cashe clear, data clear, reset Bluetooth – nothing seems to work. Any help? Is it the band itself or the app? Wrote to xiomi and no response either.

@Libby, you have a different (newer) Mi Band. If you have an iphone, then maybe comment 36 will help you.

Mine still doesn’t work after all tricks. I put it on charge last night, and now it won’t track steps (but does track sleep, heart rate and lets me know if someone calls). Help!

I have found a fix for my MiBand2 not syncing data properly and sleep data not being shown in MiFit. My iPhone was set to am/pm. Switching the phone to 24hr format (via the iPhone’s settings screens) fixed the problem straight away. After the next sync, historic data showed up fine…

It must just be a sw glitch with the app not allowing for a different time configuration.

Got mine to work again following your instructions. (Had to do it twice, maybe the phone didn’t ring for long enough the first time or something) Thanks so much!

Worked for me; Mi Fit was stuck on 121 steps for 5 days, and was not tracking my sleep. Thought it might have been low-battery related (50 days since last charge).
“Play –> Incoming call –> On” (and calling the phone to make the Mi Fit vibrate) fixed the issue.
Please note that “Incoming call” settings are now on the bottom middle “play” menu (app version 2.2.5), no longer in the settings.
