The story of stopping the XIOAMI MI smart band and returning to the smart watch

March 4, 2022 10:20

I've been using smartwatch since the "Android Wear" was still called "Android Wear", but in the past few years I have been thinking of Xiaomi's "MI Band (MI Smart Band)".

"Mi Band" is an ultra -small smart band used in combination with Xiaomi's unique app "Mi Fit".

It is limited because it is not equipped with a Wear OS, but it is enough to receive the notification, and it is cheap, so I love cospa since I used it since the age of Miband 3 or 4.

However, when I returned to Wear OS's smartwatch due to a small circumstances, I felt that "Wear OS" was more productive, so I decided to stop Mi Band.

At this time, Google is about to announce "Pixel Watch", and I bought "TICWATCH E3".

This time, I will write the reason.

Some app notifications are unstable for MI smart bands

I think it was since I upgraded my terminal to Android 11, but recently I was suffering from symptoms that I could receive or not receive some app notifications in Mi Band.

At the same time, some app notifications were suffering from symptoms that would never be received no matter what they worked on.

Returning to "Wear OS", all of these symptoms are solved.

Mi Band is not equipped with a Wear OS, and is a smart band that is used by connecting to the dedicated application "Mi Fit", but recently Android is moving very stably because it drops the background app quite aggressively.I don't feel like it.

Although I did my best, I tried various things, but after all, in the recent Android, the mechanism itself, assuming that the user application continues to move correctly in the background, is strict, not on Google's framework.Is it soba?I can't help but feel like that.

Of course, so that the "Mi Fit" app is not eligible for the battery manager on the Android side so that it is not dropped on the back, turns on the application automatic startup, and even the target application cannot be terminated on the application switching screen.I intend to set up locks.

The Xiaomi recommended setting around that area was properly set, but it was decided that the same symptoms came out with several Android machines from different manufacturers, so it was decided that they had exhausted.

The notification has arrived on the smartphone side, so I think it's either a mi band's mood or a mechanism in the first place, but anyway, it's a problem.

In addition, although this problem is rarely appeared in apps such as "Gmail" which is often used in the world, the impression that it is an advanced application such as "Tasker" is the impression that there is a problem.

Also, I felt that it was compatible with the recent Android function "Automatic adjustment of notification" and "extension notification", so I tried to turn it off, but the symptoms remained the same.

Because the RAM of the favorite machine is only 8GB, it may be a little improvement if it is a 11GB RAM machine, but it does not use an app that is so heavy.

In any case, although the settings and how to use it will improve a little, it has not been completely solved, and my heart has broken.

Wear OS moves properly and is more productive than its own smart band

After many twists and turns, I replaced it with a "TICWATCH E3" equipped with Wear OS, but this is quite good.

The "LG G Watch R" I used in the past was so bad that my arm blood flow was worse, but this model is a sense of size that can be worn without difficulty, and the battery I heard from the rumor is 24.Even if you turn on the time heart rate monitor, you don't have to worry about the battery even if you wear it from early morning to late night.Well, it seems that charging is needed every day, but it is at least not my way to be a day.

Also, because it is a Wear OS, it is convenient to be able to do Gmail archive processing from above the arm.

Xiaomi's smart band was also a very good model, but if it was said to which Wear OS is more productive, it was decided that Wear OS would be overwhelmingly convenient.。

So, "TicWatch E3", which is expected to be updated to Wear OS 3, is quite recommended.If you don't buy Pixel Watch anyway, why not buy it now?
