can't activate new watchfaces after update - Xiaomi Mi Band 4 Questions & Answers

Hello together,
I've updated the new lest MI fit app (4.0.8) and updated also the firmware of my MI band 4 (1.0.6.12).
Now I can't change my watchfaces which I downloaded in the app "MiBand4 - Watchfaces"
Before the update everything worked fine..
Does anyone has a solution?

Backup your watch faces, uninstall Mi Fit, install 4.0.7 version, do not update it If you want animated watch faces, you probably need to downgrade FW as well (N&F app might help here).
More detailed guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/miband/comments/d0fxw6/mi_band_4_no_more_custom_watchfaces/
Or you can just use N&F for watch face upload and wait for Mi Fit fix (which hopefully won't take too long)..

Thank you

Actually there is no need for FW downgrade, watch faces/FW still support animations, animation speed just has to be at least "4" (at least with the watch face I tried to modify). Authors of broken watch faces will probably fix them sooner or later.

Nice update
The update work for anyone? I got it but have been unable to set any of the new faces to the watch. They don't show up. Maybe something screwy with my oneplus....

I have it and it is working. You may need to give it a few minutes for the new faces to be transferred to the watch. They appear just like the original stock faces.
It is nice to have the award winning Moto but it is a shame they didn't add any of the additional features such as weather or battery percentage. I think the clone of the face that boostr29 did for facer is still nicer. The Motorola face likely uses much less battery power though. Wear 2.0 should let people create much more involved faces that can display more information such as unread email etc.
If you havn't got the update yet or want to see what they are like, I took a photo of all the new watch faces:

Pascuals a favourite, I'm sure the My Design will be better in time... It won't be good for anything beyond casual usage though - you need to crop the image for it yourself, and the ticker hands you can't customize outside of the preset options they have.
Yeah, the My Design is quite limited for now, and you can't set large preview cards on it. But at least there's now the option/toggle to add the date to all of the other watchfaces too, which is handy.
Generally this is a bit of an odd update, as it just adds Moto Body features that replicate existing Fit ones, except for Calories. Now we have again the typical Android mess of duplicated features, despite Google's efforts to control Wear.
I dont understand how anyone can use a white face. That flat tire looks terrible. I always run a black face, so its not too noticable.

Try to restart the watch. It worked after I did a restart.
Same issue here. I've restarted the watch, reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled both Android Wear and the Connect app. None of the new apps or watch faces will show up on the watch.
I just wish the date option was a bigger font. My old eyes have a hard time seeing it.

The app is a ton of fun, hopefully they continue to expand it. I have several pictures that work great with the DIY watch face.
Yeah I'm loving this, the custom pictures are nice and hi resolution!
Thx for sharing. Had moto connect app disabled.
How are u guys getting the update? I don't see it on playstore?
---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
Nvm. Odd. I had to search for the app and then it said update. Would not show up automatically.
My phone wouldn't find Connect update (kept telling me Connect was up to date)
On my PC, I visited -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.targetnotif while it said installed, when I clicked the Install button I was able to pick my Moto X, and click OK.. After that, the X notified me of the app downloading and installing. I now have the update.
Seems like the best faces are the one's that create the illusion of a round face by having some sort of inner circle that is not disrupted by the flat tire look. Basically you tune it out since all the major eye candy is above it, only the tiny hash marks are broken which you barely notice anyway. Having a full white face or roman numerals makes it very obvious there is a screen break at the bottom.

I'm facing the same problem as well. It finally worked for me after I uninstall android wear, moto connect, facer and watch maker. Reset moto 360 and reinstall android wear and moto connect and the new watch face appears.

I wound up having to reset the Moto X altogether. Somehow, I think swapping between a work-week phone (Note 4) and a weekend phone (Moto X) got some apps stuck on the watch that weren't on either phone anymore. When I reset the Moto X and then reset the 360, it stared to work correctly.
Too bad beelink dont work anymore else can easily switch devices with the watch.

[Q] Need help with facer/watchmaker

hello all,
I have just bought Moto 360. I have latest android phone. just bought Facer.
my watch could connect to android wear and motoconnect. once I installed Facer/watchmaker I could see their logos in my watch, But the problem is when I tries to sync my watch screen becomes blank, I could see the green Tick mark on the app, that means the app has successfully sync the watch face. but my moto 360 shows nothing, just a blank screen.
please help..
Thanks
I get this sometimes too. Try switching back to a default watchface then switching back to Facer (for Android 5).

+1 Make sure you are using the watchface for your version of android wear and give it a minute or so to fully sync. The green checkmark just means the face has been sent to the device, not that the device is done applying it. :good:

You should have 2 icons on your watch: one called "Facer" and the other called "Facer for Android Wear 5". Make sure that your Facer app on the phone is on the latest version (version 1.1.02).
And your Moto 360 software should be on the latest version. Go to your watch Settings -> About and ensure the software version is 5.0.1. If not, scroll down to the bottom of the same screen and choose "System Updates".
You don't need your phone Android version to be 5. Mine is also on 4.4.4.

finally , it was a watch. I got the replacement and now everything is back to normal. The only problem I have noticed is some of the watches are not syncing... I could import those faces to the faces app, I can send those to my watch..but my phone vibrates but I cant get the face...just a blank (Black ) screen.
my phone / app and watch all r up-to date with the latest software. I could also see 2 facer logos, one is jut "Facer" and other is "Facer for 5"
I have tried both but no luck for those few faces.
Any idea? thanks

As per my 1st reply, after syncing and you still see a black screen, try switching back to a default watchface then switching back to Facer (for Android 5). If not, it might be an issue with the watchface itself.

Classic Watchface : settings cog not there !

I have a Xperia XZ Premium, and also of course a Smartwatch 3 which work fine.
About a week ago my wife wanted to upgrade from her Xperia Z5 and so I bought her a Xperia XZ Premium to match mine. and all was fine until we came to try and alter the Classic Face !
As has been mentioned on here the "steps" no longer work, so all we did was change the three widgets, so we had 'battery level', 'date' and 'week number' and my wife wanted to do the same on her nice new phone
But she CAN'T.... for a start there is no little 'cog; in the middle of the watch face so I changed to another face and clicked on the 3 dots on the Classic Face, where the option to get the "settings" was there but when you click on this it tried to connect with Google Play to download the settings from somewhere but fails so obviously the app for that is missing !
So - no steps... and now you can't adjust/change anything like the widgets I have just mentioned, colours or anything else.... why, just why ?????
My still works OK, and I have removed and reinstalled Wear OS a few times on her phone but no joy
So whose fault is this ? Google messing with the OS ? or Sony not updating the watch face ? … or me for not being clever enough to work this out ?
Help please !
As my wife is driving me mad.. all she wants is the watch face she loves to be as she wants it … i.e. like mine !
Transfer app from you phone to hers

It looks like the underlying app required to change to setting on the Smartwatch 3 has been removed from the Playstore. I've just upgraded my Xperia and spent ages trying to find it. Eventually, I resorted to using an app that lets me transfer apps from my old phone to my new one. I used SwitchIt, it's quick and easy, and I transferred 2 apps - SmartWatch and Watch Faces (not sure this one is required but the SmartWatch app is). Everything works fine now and I can configure the widgets no probs.
Many Thanks !

Thanks for your reply, as they say better late than never
Seems like it was Sony's fault for removing the Smartwatch 3 App from the store !
We both LOVE our Smartwatch 3, and can't see any reason to 'upgrade' them as they foo everything we want...
Would be nice IF the brought out a Smartwatch 4, as we would certainly buy one !
I won't hold my breath though as they ditched laptops, then tablets and no sign of those coming back either, but my 3 'old' Sony laptops are all running fine on Windows 10 and my 4 Sony tablets are fine too despite no Android upgrades

Cannot set location for weather app

Hi,
Using Xiaomi MiMix2s with Glaxy Watch app Galaxy Wearable.
All functions in Galaxy Watch app works except weather location setting.
Weather / Settings gives me an error like "connection not successful".
Even use current location does not work.
Galaxy apps has connection, all internet access works on the phone.
Just bought the watch 3 days ago. So, it is pretty new.
Everything is under default setting and also did one software update when turned it on first time.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi, I can't answer your question, but I wish to know how you got the Galaxy Wearable app, on your Xiaomi
Did you try turning on location in settings>connections?
Hi, any idea how to fix the problem with location in weather app?
I have mi9se Android 10 and have the same exact issue with weather app on gwa2.
All permissions for wearable app on a phone are on.
I have the same problem.
My smartphone is a Xiaomi Mi8
I have tried with several ROM's and with any AOSP ROM, it works correctly, but with a MIUI ROM, the same error appears as everyone.
It's reported to Samsung, but they haven't answered me yet.
If with an AOSP ROM it works and with MIUI it doesn't work, then the problem is in some incompatibility with MIUI.
The weather app on my watch gets all info from the weather app on my Samsung phone, which was pre- installed. I believe the app comes from The Weather Company. My guess is that you can add locations if you install that specific weather app on your phone.

I don't think it has anything to do with The Weather Company app.
I don't have any App of The Weather Company installed in AOSP and the location works the first time.
The problem is in MIUI. There must be some restriction and it is almost impossible to find out the cause of the problem.
In any case, I have sent the report to Samsung along with the fault log. Let's see if they answer me soon.

I can't get it to work. I have granted all permissions to the application and I have also activated all notifications, but still cannot find the current location.
It only happens with MIUI. I currently have xiaomi.eu
I have also tried other ROMs MIUI and exactly the same problem occurs.
However, with LineageOS, it works perfectly.
I have the same issue it was working in (K20 Pro stock ROM MIUI 11) but after I installed the EU MIUI 11 I got this issue

My solution has been to use LineageOS instead of MIUI.
With xiaomi.eu (weekly and stable) it does not work.
However, with MIUI Global it does work.
But I prefer LIneageOS.

Black Shark 3 : chinese version -> flash global

Hey,
I ordered chinese Black Shark 3 and I would like to know if I can flash a global ROM on it ?
Which features could not work after flash ?
Any tuto to flash please ?
Anyway, we are ok to say the only thing between a chinese phone with global rom and global phone is B28 ?
Thanks.
apparently there is no such capability on black shark 3
But you can google about Google installer v3 this works to install google play store and framework which enable you to use as usual global
Chinese bs3 have b28 I test here. I just want to know if bs3 global have widevine l1 ?
Was going to write a few things in the pro forum. Essentially it's the same hardware. I have the BS3 Pro. Installed the V3 apk google installer. Things are a bit messy though. I knew it going into it as I've owned Chinese phones before Huawei etc but no experience with Xiaomi/joyui.
+Google play store, services etc install but there are issues. 2 main ones seem to be GPS being an issue on any app that needs it. Google maps just has a gray dot and can't update my location. Have tried a few things from various sites but it seems Joyui 11 has updated things that make the workarounds useless.
+Chrome browser can't sync with my Google account to let me use bookmarks, passwords, history etc. Clicking on the button does nothing.
+WhatsApp notifications are useless. Can't get them to come through unless I'm in the app. Again lots of previous workarounds don't work. Given all the permissions needed and turned off the battery saver option, locked the app in the background etc.
+This isn't anything official and might be obvious but worth noting. I ran it for over a week without installing google services and the battery was awesome but when google was loaded I can see it drain very quickly.
Hoping to get these issues sorted, had hoped it would be easy enough to flash a global rom but that's looking unlikely based on the BS2 success etc. Otherwise a cracking phone but might have to return it due to these issues.
Google apps worked perfectly and too bad Black shark 3 pro unlocking bootloader currently not availabale...
Anybody here unlock the bootloader bs3 ?

Once the roms are available for download, it will be possible.
Same problems with mine with notifications. BS3p
They don't work for ages and then all of a sudden everything is rosey for a few hours, the phone works great, then out of the blue notifications just stop. Like now it's working great WhatsApp, Gmail etc all coming through straight away. In a few hours or a few minutes it'll all go Pete tong.
Then occasionally I'll get 6 notifications all in one hit.
Chrome does work fine though, it's all synced up.
It's very strange.
The only way to get global firmware is hit the door from xiaomi and request this.... china have banned netflix, amazon and whatsapp. This explain why global firmware have widevine L1 and china firmware have L3... and explain too why whatsapp notification never works on china rom, but global works.

did you have allow all permission on each app? by all permission i mean all permission including the sms etc2 make everything green tick
and put the important apps like whatsapp or gmail to no be affected by miui battery saver (appinfo>batterysaver)
and put autostart on, if you want your device to start the app without you launch it first time every reboot.
be prepare! poor battery oerformance is coming

So by chance did you ever get whatsapp up and running? Im having the same problem with my phone. I dont even mind the hit to the battery life because the warp charging means its never down for long but the lack of incomming messages is a dealbreaker for me.
I don't know much this will help but I was able to fix location issues. You must allow location access all the time for Google Play services. Location now works in Google Maps and Uber.
