Miband 2 vibrating on lost connection? - General Accessories

Maybe a little bit of a stretch to be looking for support for such an old device, but it's new to me and the version I wanted (small/minimal screen)
I wanted one of these for pushing calendar notifications, and it's been stellar. I've also been dabbling with sleep tracking but here's where my issue lies. The band seems to drop the BT connection 1-5x/night, and even though it is in DND mode, when it loses connection to my phone (Pixel 3XL) it vibrates regardless and wakes me up. Is this something that's easily fixed? Is my phone going into some sort of deep sleep that's dropping the connection, and if so is there a way to turn this sleep mode off, preferably only when it's on the charger?
Thanks in advance

[Q] WiFi Sleep Policy Broken? Set To Off - But WiFi Turns Off...

Hi everyone,
Is the WiFi sleep policy working properly?
I've always belived that the leaving WiFi on durning the night (sync is left on) and it would take less power than using 3G (especially in a bad area)...
Basically, I leave my WiFi on, with the sleep policy set to never (uses more power), but looking at the battery stats, it turns off...
Please see screen shots attached... You can see that WiFi turns off...
Is this a bug?
Thanks, Matt
for some reason, both wifi and data turn off during the night. This is apparent when turning the phone on - gmail alerts of new email that was sent during the night.
So all data turns off durning the night? surely there is a setting for this?
I do see that me g-mail emails come through at 7 o clock in the morning...
hmmmm strange!
Thankis for the reply!
It's a common issue:

I'm experiencing it too..
It's not only during the night, but it seems that during the standby the HOX suspend randomly the connectivity
same here.
Must be a battery save that HTC implemented.
We should def have the option to change this though.
lol mine is the opposite. I set my wifi to sleep when screen is off, but it keeps changing back to always on when screen off.
Kinda annoying

[WIFI POLICY] Idea for the best Wifi battery save

Now, there are 3 different modes for the Wifi suspension control:
- Never: This option never turn off the wifi connection. So, is better when you are connected to a wifi, but is worse when you are not, because the phone is always searching for connection.
- When it´s not charging: This option turns off the wifi when you turn off the screen, if the phone is not charging, so, is basically like the next option if the phone is not charging, and the first option if the phone is charging.
- Always: This option turn off the wifi always when you turn off the screen. So, is better when you are not connected to a wifi, because the phone isn´t draining battery searching for wifi. But it is worse when you are in a known wifi zone, because the phone is using the data instead the wifi when the screen is off, which drains more battery and waste data of your mobile monthly data.
Neglecting the option of turning wifi on/off manually thorugh the widget, and not using 3rd party apps like juicedefender, I thing the most intelligent and battery saver option depends on your life. So there isn´t a good option for all the people and for all days. For example, I thing the best option for me in the working days is 'Always', because I doesn´t have wifi in my working place, and I spend 10 hours a day on it, so, when I am working, the phone is in my pocket without searching for wifi, but, in the weekend, the best option for me is 'Never', because I spend a lot of time on my house. Finally, for a person who stays the most time of his day in a wifi zone, the best option is 'Never'.
Ok, now I ask, it could be an option that could be the best for all the people? I think the answer is YES:
I think if could be possible to have a mix of 'Never' and 'Always'. I explain, imagine the wifi is suspended at this moment, so you are on mobile data, and you are in your house, for example, and turn on the screen to view the weather. When you turn on the screen, the wifi awakes and connect to your home´s wifi connecion and you view the weather. Now you turn off the screen, BUT, THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE whith the 'Always' option, the wifi DOESN´T turns off, because it is connected at this moment. So, all the time you are at home, since the first screen´s turn on, the phone is connected to the wifi, saving mobile data, and battery, because the wifi drains less battery. Now, you leave your home, and, when the phone lost the wifi signal, turns the wifi off, so, when you are in a not known wifi zone (like the street), the wifi suspends itself for saving battery of wifi searching. The wifi only will search for a known wifi when the screen is on (like now with the 'Always' option) and, if it isn´t connected to a wifi when you turn off the screen, the wifi goes to suspension mode. Now you enter to your home again, with the phone in your pocket, with the screen off, so the phone won´t connect to your home wifi until you turn on the screen, and at this moment, your phone will always be connected to your home wifi until you leave your home again.
I think that is a good idea, and I guess why google doesn´t include something like this in android, it could be the best option for all people in all the situations.
What do you thing about the idea?
I like the idea and I would love to see it implemented! Whenever wifi signal drops out, don't search for it until screen is on.. Would be brilliant!

I am pretty sure we can configure a Tasker profile for something like that!

Probably, but the ideal case would be the option integrated into de system
up
Sounds like a good idea
but for now i use Y5 app
I like the idea, I think its very logical. I fall into the "always around WiFi" group of people though and the "Wifi sleep>Never" options suits me well, If I ever am not in my usual places, I have a wifi toggle on my notif bar for that. One thing I do miss though is the app "WiFi Status", its not compatable with either ICS or the SGN, not sure what the problem is, so I cant use it.

notifications

Notification on vibrate mode fail to work after leaving phone unused for a specified period of time. It seems the phone pretty much goes into a half dead sleep mode even though I have disabled as much visible stuff on the power management options. Any way to resolve this issue.
Also this thing takes 3 hrs to recharge fully plugged in straight to a wall outlet.

Don't know about the first part but 3 hours to charge is normal.

What I mean is that if you set the phone to vibrate notifications will vibrate also, like calendar events. But when you leave this phone down for over 20m or so it goes into a deep sleep mode where it practically becomes useless and no notifications come through , the wifi shuts down, pretty much the thing is half dead. Massive power management. And I went through the settings where I changed wifi to always on and high performance, the screen to never sleep unless I hit the lock button. I have a motorola atrix 4g that is rock solid, but this dam thing is barbaric in its power management and also in it's multitasking. It kills everything on the background if it is left there for more than a minute. I might swap it for the Galaxy S3 when it comes out here .
notifications always work for me..?
I have problems with notifications too but not only on vibrate mode.
I always get them when I turn the screen on but if not an SMS notificiation can come as late as 10 minutes after it was recieved. So I guess it wakes up from the coma sometimes to do a check.

[Q] Ringer goes off on its own for no reason.

I keep my stock phone, USA-TMO, on mute and vibrate only. I’ve noticed recently that the phone ringer will go off on its own. There is no incoming call, no alarm that is set. I get to the screen and there are no indications of what is making it ring. None of the controls seem to mute the sound either. I have to reboot the phone to get it to shut-up.
It’s happened a few times in the last several weeks. Once I left the phone sitting on my desk and came back and it was in this state. Now this is where it gets strange. I’ve had it happen 3 times when I’m standing in front of one of those hands free urinals. The ones with the sensor, IR?, that detects a warm body standing there. But I’ve also been standing there and it didn’t go off several times. I’ve got Wi-Fi enabled, GPS is off, Mute-enabled, and Bluetooth-enabled.
I’m going to start turning off interfaces, Bluetooth first, to see if it’s one of those interacting with the “warm body detector”.
Any ideas on what’s going on?
It has nothing to do with the IR sensor on the urinal. LOL
The phone is paired with a pebble smart watch via Bluetooth. I'm figuring out that it is when I leave pebble sitting on my desk and I walk away with the phone. Somehow the un-pairing of the pebble with the phone causes the ringer to start up. It takes about the time it took me to walk to the restroom.
When the ringer goes off, I went about stopping every running application I could, but no help there. It keeps ringing until I reboot.
Solved!
My pebble has a Pebble Reminder app that has a "Phone alarm on disconnected" setting.
DOH!
Funny that it takes a reboot to disable the alarm though. That's kinda goofy.
On another thought: We always imagine some exotic source to a problem. Nuclear radiation, cosmic rays, IR ports on the urinals. But it usually comes down to some simple source. Occam's Razor?

Phone keeps switching to Power Save Mode

I have no rules set for switching into power save modes, yet I keep finding my phone in power save mode with all the radios turned off. I'm using a case with a viewing window if that means anything. Anyone else having this issue?
I had this issue, and my wife had it too. I ended up disabling the power saver on both our phones. I have since enabled it again on mine, and it has been behaving properly. No idea what causes it or why mine now seems to be working OK, but it is a very annoying bug.
How did you disable it?
Dan
I use the "Disable Application" app by BIZKAI Apps from the Play Store. You need root, obviously.
I was afraid of that. I've not rooted the phones yet.
Dan
This has been happening to me also and i dont have it set to switch but it will randomly do it and turn off my network. This phone is really pissing me off.
Something you might want to try is to go to power saver-> smart switch-> switch by schedule and change it from battery saver to normal. It sounds like a bug that someone mentioned a while ago: smart switch's switch by schedule runs even when it is not turned on.

Not related to OP's issue as they have the View Case which I hope prevents this, but I have found that the phone activates in my pocket and often enables flight mode, power saving mode, and other random toggles. Noticed that when the phone is in a pocket facing my body, wild things happen. facing away and nothing happens.
Take your phone out, turn the screen on and rub it on your knee. You will see that the touch screen is so sensitive that it responds through the fabric of your plant leg. This seems to be a problem for me from time to time, but the new slide to unlock on the view window has fixed some of the issues.
