One of the best-selling and best-known gadgets is the Mi Band 4 and the Mi Band 5, although in both cases we find a problem that can generate many headaches. The problem appears when we try to control the music from the Mi Band , one of the most useful and practical functions that it integrates, but which nevertheless often becomes a headache.
With the intention that this does not happen to us, the Mi Band has been improving with successive updates, but nevertheless this continues to happen to us at the least opportune moment, for example when we are needing sports and we want to change the song or increase the volume. In this situation, we are going to give you the keys that will allow you to forget about annoying failures.
Problems with music on the Mi Band
Whatever the problem that appears with the MI Band and the music, what we will have to do is try to solve it with the help of the Mi Fit application. With it, we will be able to take full control and it becomes an essential tool to take advantage of the use of music, since it works as a bridge between the mobile and the bracelet. Bluetooth is not activated or the app is out of sync
This is the first failure with the music of the Mi Band that affects us, many times the Bluetooth connection is lost or we have even turned off this connection without realizing it. The same can happen to us when the battery level drops beyond 15%. In any case, all we have to do to get everything back to normal is activate Bluetooth from the shortcuts and access the Mi Fit application.
Sometimes when we access the app we find that it has to resynchronize the steps, sleep and everything, since for some reason it has been forced to close in the background , something that happens especially on Android phones. the best we can do is the following:
Prevent My Fit from closing
To try to avoid that it constantly closes and poses a problem, on all Android smartphones, which is where this usually happens most, we can block the Mi Fit app . To do this, we just have to open multitasking and leave our finger pressed on the app in question, then we choose to block it and we will avoid this situation many times.
Songs do not appear on the bracelet
Another situation that we find ourselves in many times is that apparently everything works correctly and is synchronized but nevertheless we are not able to enjoy access to the change of music or volume of the bracelet due to a problem . When that happens on the screen and the music control we will see the text “Music is not playing”, but it is actually playing on the mobile.
This is due to the permissions that Mi Fit needs to work. To ensure that all are granted or add the missing ones, such as access to files and multimedia content, what we will do on our mobile is the following:
- We enter the Settings.
- We look for applications.
- Inside we have to touch on Mi Fit.
- Finally we enter into permission and we grant all the necessary ones.
I am not in control of the music on the Mi Band
Without a doubt, the biggest problem that we cannot find has to do with the fact that the possibility of controlling music with the Xiaomi sports bracelet does not appear anywhere. This problem is due to a bad configuration from the Mi Fit app. To solve it, we only have to choose the elements that appear again, which we will do in this way:
- We enter My Fit and wait for it to synchronize with the bracelet.
- Then we touch on the Profile tab.
- We chose our sports bracelet.
- We then go down to “Direct access settings”.
- Once inside we can touch on it “+” in Music.
- Before leaving we must click on save, in the upper right.
This will allow that instantly, on the release Mi Band, we seem to control the music with just a slide of the finger. Depending on the position that we have given in this same option, we find it by just swiping once or more times.
