Hey that's my name on your wrist band!  Grin  Grin Grin I did not know there could have been people so crazy about getting merits and other sort of things! If I understand that bot basically connects your band to all your bitcointalk activities and you get notified for everything you want to see in real time. That's wundebar  Cool

Yes, there is a merit related madness slowly spreading over the forum.
In addition to that, you must know that the thing also gives an haptic feedback when the notification fires.
So when you send a merit, I physically can feel a vibration on my body wrist...

My guess is that you receive too many haptic feedbacks during the day  Grin I wonder what people around you would think when your band start vibrating and you get excited  Grin Grin Grin
Jokes aside, was fun to see my name on the band on this thread. Go merit the world!

They are called the dr. nerd, to which they are doctorate in getting merit like @fillippone.  I don't know of this guy but he is one of the fastest earning merits and making his account into legendary is not difficult. He just need to increase his activity and that's it legendary rank is waving. There are other members too that I am seeing already a  candidate in ranking up to highest rank which legendary. I was not surprise too that they were able to get some merits because if their posting habit. Anyway, we should be glad they were here in the forum for they contribute a lot in here.

After a few months of usage I can say I am satisfied with the upgrade: the display of the MI5 is way better than the old one, the sensors are more precise and the overall feeling is better.
Are those improvement worth the extra bucks? My tentative answer is yes.
Also, a long overdue (hairy wrist picture) picture.



I am going to add this picture and the one from the @thebeardedwrist @TheBeardedBaby to the gallery.

I have been using since a few days,  look and feel is almost the same as the old model, screen is bigger, but it really it is a best fit of the previous form factor (lesser bezels). It has almost hte same feature, plus a few nice attition, but not a revolution, only a step evolution.

I can summarise a few finding for the moment:

PRO
  • More precise sensors
  • Much more easy charging
  • Remote camera shutter

CONS
  • Battery life seems to be reduced due to the much more precise sensors
  • Extra cost


For our purpouse the two versions work absolutely at the same manner: I cannot recommend upgrading only for this and the preference is due only to the extra cost for the few feature it offers.
I think it is fair to let the choice to individual preferences.

On a side note, Xiaomi Mi Band 5 has just been officially released and it's already sold out in the first day of public sales.
Your fellow Italian Stallion is waiting for an official European Version and will test it on his hairy wrist as soon as possible!

Yes, I have been observing a few malfunctioning too lately.
I think the best thing to do is letting giammangiato know about your problem writing in the bot thread I linked.
That’s the best place to discuss those issues rather than here.
I linked also another option by the way. You can give it a try too.

better everyday ♥
I have been using this bot for a long time, it always works correctly, but lately, I rarely get more notifications even though I get quoted a lot in other topics. I go back to a few topics, I see that there are many topics that my post has been quoted, but I only get 1 or 2 notifications for that every day. I think it has been slowed down. Or its mechanism of action changed, I'm not sure, but it was what I felt. I hope someone can fix it  Cheesy

I found it by chance, while you see the notification, click at the bottom of the screen and the notification stays longer, so you can read the content or take a photo more calmly if you want.

I added in the thread the instruction to use a new Bot available here on the forum:


@TryNinja is doing a great work with his bot it already has a smooth interface but it's  constantly improving and adding functions (my guide on how to configure it is a little bit redundant actually).

You can find instructions to configure his Bot for our purpouses at the end of the OP: TryNinja Bot specific instructions

Update: May 15, 2020 (10:30 AM ET): The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 could be about to launch soon. As spotted by Indiashopps, the Taiwan National Communication Commission (NCC) just certified a Xiaomi device with model number XMSH10HM. The model number of the newly certified device is similar to that of the Mi Band 4 which comes bearing model number XMSH07HM. This indicates that XMSH10HM could indeed be the Mi Band 5.

Given that the Mi Band 4 was released in June last year, the Mi Band 5 could also drop around the same time. In that case, it’s certification right now makes all the sense in the world.

Besides the possible Mi Band 5 listing, Indiashopp also reports that it spotted a wearable called Mi Smart Band 4C on the website of Indonesia’s telecom authority. This product has the same model number as the Redmi Band which was recently launched in China. Therefore, it’s possible that Xiaomi is prepping to launch the Redmi Band as the Mi Band 4C globally.

Could both the Mi Band and Mi Band 4C launch simultaneously? We’re not sure yet, but we’ll keep you posted as and when we know more.

Little bit of off-topic, but here is question, how long it last the battery of this Mi band 4? My old one Mi-band 2 is still working great, checked it now, last charged was 8 days ago and it's on 76% still. This is for 4-5 years old band.

On topic the notifications on the Mi-band 2 are working perfictly Smiley

Really depends on the amount of notification you get, but I usually squeeze 20 days out of it.

Hey!
If you are wearing the merit notification smartband, you definetly have to post a picture!


Will do, I tried to catch it a few times but.. without success, it's too damn fast the notification Cheesy. there will be one more wooly wrist Cheesy

There you go :



Ahah it is definitely the worst picture!!

Are you sure you have to catch notifications on the fly?
I don’t know how the 2 works, but in the 3 I can scroll to the notification menu and tapping on it I can “replay” the last notification... so it is pretty useful to take picture without staying hours staring at your wrists! Wink
We are having fun with this think after all...

MB2 is a bit crippled, you get only telegram icon as notification. In addition with the last firmware update the screen brightness was reduced too much so you barely see anything. I'm using it only when I'm out working in the garden or do something to the house, basically for dirty work.
I can take a pic of my Huawei Watch if you want that will be a bit better, but since you started the thread as for a smartband notifications I though I may use my old band Tongue
