Mi Band 8 - Having problem pairing it into your Smartphone? let's Unboxing!

[@bhut1571]

Do you have to create and account for the watch to work?

[@KNACKSKILL]

Yes, you should log-in or create an account to mi finteness ap to work or open your mi band 8. Thanks

[@eliashk5]

How do you change the region to China? Presently I am in Malaysia. Do I have to unintall my Mi Fitness app and reinstall and change the region from there?

[@KNACKSKILL]

Using your Mi Fitness app, and go to the setting and change the region to china. No need to uninstall you MFapp. Hope you get it. Thanks

[@TheMixtureLTD]

thanks for the solution

I add the mi band 8 at the Mi Fitness App , but i can not find it in Bluetooth connected devices list. Bluetooth search not find smart band on ... what to do..?! My previous Smart band 8 is on Bluetooth list. How to connect with Google Fit or Strava App ?!

[@KNACKSKILL]

You cant find in smartphone bluetooth, try to delete your bluetooth history then pair it again, are you using the global version or china? Check and open your Mi Fitness app, you will find if the those are support with the 3rd party, I think Strava is supported with mi band. Thanks

Hello today i've bought MI8 from China, it's giving the same issues. Im in Canada and when i choose my region Canada the apps doesn't detect the device also i can't manually select the device as it's not shown when scrolled down (just like you did). Only this will work if you select your region as China. But in that case the utility will be limited, like most of the band faces will show chinese language for days (mon/tues etc.). Besides weather doesn't show as well. I guess the MI Fitness apps has not yet been compatible for chinese versions to be used outside china. I have MI7 Chinese version and it gives NO such issues. I spent 60$ for this and now can't solve this issue. So far i did not find any clues to solve this. Can't sale it to someone like this. It's made of is really cool, metal body, easily detachable straps, easy charging system. But all went into vein. Thank you

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Nisha, when you pair it you select ENGLISH language in to your watch MB8?. In the Mi Fitness app when i selected CHINA region it doesn't turn to Chinese language still all text in english. The purpose we change the region to CHINA is to detect the device. Because if we select in our own location or region it will not detect the MB8 using Mi Fitness app in our smartphone. Mine all my watch faces are fine only have Chinese text is the personal photo skin but all watch faces is in english language, hope your mb8 will fix soon.

[@frida_otras]

Some watch faces does display chinese fonts even though the language selected was English. I'm using one too.

[@frida_otras]

I got mine few days ago - my first Mi Band ! Yes you are right since this NFC model M2239B1 are CN version, so it can be connected with Mi Fitness app ONLY for now, until we get the global version of Mi Band 8 ‐ hopefully by end of this year!

[@KNACKSKILL]

Thanks, enjoy!

[@Chess_pop]

It's released noww

[@dr.mohamed-kotb]

I have got mi band 8 from noon at Dubai model number M2239B1 and I can't connect it to mi fitness application I changed the location in the application settings to be China but still no change I don't know what to do ?

[@utariq]

Sir, as of now only the Chinese version is available in my market. So will I be able to use it 100% after setting the region to China in the app? Are there some limitations?

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Utariq, I'm still doing my full review with this new MB8 china version, I will let you know guys if its all good in 101%. But I think it's all working good smooth and responsive with the Mi Fitness app and this one is NFC version with alipay and Weixin Pay which is good. This is all I can say for now I'm still testing it. Hope this give you same idea. Thanks

[@utariq]

@@KNACKSKILL thanks for a detailed reply. I'm really confused between Mi Band 7 and Mi Band 8. In my region Band 7's global version is available. And I've read in different places that Mi Band 8 (Chinese) sometimes displays things in Chinese. One guy wrote that his language changed to Chinese even though his phone language was English. So I'm kind of skeptical about buying the Band 8 Chinese version. I think Band 7 (Global) would be a safer choice. And there aren't any breakthrough differences between the two. And obviously I'll save some money also. What do you say about this?

[@KNACKSKILL]

@@utariq the deferences of 7 and 8 is the battery life, watch faces design and the strap. The china version is the same with global, why? because they both have Chinese and English version to choice from. The China version have english language. My china version is all good no issue like Chinese character. This is not my first watch band that i bought with china version, global version will come out soon with just adding a country. But it's up to you. Hope this help. Thanks

[@_____h5107]

[@baselzidan37]

Are there will be another updates to add the other languages? Or it will be just the Chinese and English languages for the Chinese version

[@KNACKSKILL]

not sure, hope they have in the next update!

[@hussainelectricwala6362]

I'm unable to pair mi band 7 with mi fitness app? Any suggestions

[@KNACKSKILL]

how did you pair it?

[@ayantoniou1]

Thanks for the help! How can i change the language from chinese to english?

[@KNACKSKILL]

You should select to english language from the start when you pair the MB8, same with the previous band. For this one they have chinese and english choose ENGLISH. Hope this help. thanks

[@عبداللهالسلمي-و3ه]

The weather doesn’t work why?

[@KNACKSKILL]

It works for using china region and i make the weather default in my watch and it's working good now!

[@muhammadumerarif8410]

Hi there thanks for this video. I bought the chinese version. I changed the region to china and it paired but when i change it back to my country the app restarts. Do i have to keep using it with china as region?

[@KNACKSKILL]

if you have another smart band using mi fitness app that is fine, im doing that with my others and the app is not restarts. I also doing that change my region from china, nothings happen and go back to china is normal.

[@thequietkidඞ]

If I buy the Chinese version right now... will it update automatically to English version all around after the global version comes into Market?

[@KNACKSKILL]

The china version have english language to choose. And it have a lot of software update, but am not sure if the global version will come and it will give the same OS update. China or Global version is have English version if that is only you need CV will be fine and it have NFC and hope GV will also support NFC. Thanks

[@christinemaeromero2176]

Why my MB8 can't connect to my Tecno camon 20 pro 5g? I already did what you did on your video but it literally does not work on my phone. Is't possible that my phone is not compatible in MB8?

[@christinemaeromero2176]

I hope there's another way to connect my MB8 to my phone 😔 or else I've wasted my money on this MB8.

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Chris, did you download th emi fitness app in to your tecno phone?

[@christinemaeromero2176]

Yes that's the first thing i did.

[@christinemaeromero2176]

I already switch the region into china but it still didn't work.

[@manikandanid]

I am not able to pair and the app instructions says only if phone region is set to china and app region is set to china, the pairing works. In my phone location settings, i dont have china country itself. Any idea how to resolve this

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Manika, first you need to download the Mi Fitness app into your smartphone or iphone. Second, go to your smartphone bluetooth turn it on and find the Mi Band 8 and click that to connect. 3rd open Mi Fitness app into your smartphone. If you had the China version got to Settings and change to China region and that's it for both iPhone and Android. Hope this help. Thanks

[@manikandanid]

@@KNACKSKILL Thanks for the reply. When i go to bluetooth there is no connect option and only manage bluetooth device exists and clicking on it the MI fitness app opens. In the app even when click on choose model, the screen is empty. I downloaded the mi fitness app by scanning the QR code in the band and the version of app is 3.24.2

Hello bro, thanks for this amazing videos. I bought the Chinese version the last day and i put the region China so i can connect it to iphone. Everything seems good but there is some chinese letters on the display and the weather isn’t displayed on the band. Are there any solution? And also there isn’t a blood pressure choice on the band to test it. It can be done only from the app. Can we fix it ?

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Mohamad, you can set the weather and SPO2 Blood monitoring using Mi Fitness app. And you should turn ON your smartphone/iphone wifi or data and bluetooth, to have the weather. And hope you already updated your MB8 to the latest OS. Chinese letter yes it has, but we can find more watch faces design with out Chinese letter. And it's all good to me till now! hope this will help you. Thanks

Sa black version hindi masyadong pansin yung kintab at common na kase ang black color sa watch. Kaya gold or white ang kinukha ko. But it's up to you sir, color will defend in your getup and life style. Okay din ang black para bagay sa lahat. Thanks
