With the arrival of MIUI 11 based on Android 10, the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 has had to adapt to many of its new and new privacy requirements from Google. This has caused some problems, which Xiaomi has been solving in the form of patches. But there are still many users who report problems when receiving notifications on their wristband.
It is common that with the arrival of a new operating system, much hardware and software must be adapted to function properly. For this reason, some users prefer to wait some time before making the leap to the new version. We have seen how even EMUI 10 based on Android 10 can experience certain operational problems in its initial stages.
Notifications that do not arrive
The Xiaomi Mi Band 4 has not been exempt from such problems. Since the arrival of MIUI 11 based on Android 10, users with terminals updated to this version report problems when receiving notifications. That is, WhatsApp messages do not arrive, or call alerts do not occur. Xiaomi has released a patch to fix it, but the problem is still in the air, waiting for new updates that will definitely correct the error.
A new solution
The specialized forums and the Xiaomi community share their own solutions. Now, a user of the official forums, has shared his own method to fix the problem while the expected patch arrives. If you are in this situation, perhaps these steps are the solution you are looking for.
- Unlink your Xiaomi Mi Band 4 from Mi Fit
- Close the app from the menu of recent applications and enter Settings / Applications to clear the app cache.
- Open the Mi Fit fit app again and pair the Mi Band 4
- Toggle app alerts (on, off, on) within the Mi Fit app and enable automatic startup from settings and set battery saver to “no restrictions
Temporary solution …
These steps should make the Mi Band 4 show notifications without problems. However, the user indicates that they can reappear if the phone or bracelet is turned off or restarted. In that case the steps should be repeated. Keep in mind that this is a temporary solution, while the update is being launched (for Mi Fit, the Mi Band 4 or MIUI 11) that will definitely fix this problem.
