Signs of pregnancy after embryo implantation

Since the appearance of the first mobile phones the built-in alarm clock has become an integral part of such devices. At the same time, despite the rapid progress in the development of electronics, the overall functionality of the program has not changed much. How to turn on the alarm clock on Xiaomi?

The easiest and most convenient way is to click on the clock widget on the desktop of the smartphone and immediately go to the alarm settings.

In the window that opens, activate an existing alarm or create a new one by clicking on the “+” button in the lower right corner.

After the required time is set, the ringtone and the repeat frequency are selected (one-time, on weekdays, weekends, on certain days of the week or constantly), click on the “OK” button in the upper right corner of the screen. If desired, you can simultaneously activate several alarms at once, which will work at different times of the day.

For example, sometimes you may notice that under the clock in the alarm settings, the inscription “Alarm sound is turned off” is displayed. This inscription says that when the alarm goes off, instead of the sound, there will be only a vibrating alert, unless, of course, it is also turned off. To turn on the sound, just press any volume button and expand the full menu in the sound settings menu that appears. After that, increase the volume near the alarm slider to the desired level.

Another way is to select “Sound and vibration” in the settings menu and set the alarm volume there.

In the event that there is no clock widget on the desktop, you can get to the alarm clock by going to the Clock application.

Hello! Today there will be a review of another product from Xiaomi. Continuing the theme smart home the company released the Mi Music device alarm clock, which combines an alarm clock and a bluetooth speaker, while promising us a comfortable falling asleep and a calm, relaxed awakening. Appearance, operation and disassembly of the device, under the cut.

Since recently I began to unconsciously turn off the alarm clock in my sleep and continue to sleep (fortunately, the comrades from the brigade wake up on time), it was decided to do something about it. At first I tried to put the phone before going to bed, away from myself, so that in the process of getting out of bed to turn off the alarm clock, wake up, but because often before going to bed there is a need to watch YouTube and other information sites, the method of waking up did not particularly take root. The only option left was a separate living device, i.e. an alarm clock. By chance, I got the opportunity to try out a new device from Xiaomi, so I’ll try to tell you in detail about it further.
Let's start with…

Packaging and appearance

The device comes in a white box. The front side shows the alarm clock itself, the back specifications and other brief information about the manufacturer. Everything looks pretty nice, the company has grown and faceless, cardboard boxes are a thing of the past.






After removing the cover of the box, we are met by the device itself, which is firmly located in the recess.


The alarm clock set consists of microUSB cable for synchronization and charging, as well as instructions in Chinese. The alarm clock itself is wrapped in a film, for greater safety during transportation.








The cable itself is a meter long, made very high quality. The manufacturer completes its power banks with similar cables.




The device itself is made in the style of a classic alarm clock. Made of white, glossy plastic, the front part is covered with a gray cloth. Under the fabric are LEDs for indicating the time, as well as a 45 mm speaker.








On the sides are grids of passive radiators.




On top is the only column control. It is a large button with a matte surface, which rotates around its axis with a characteristic tactile feedback.




The back part is covered with matte plastic, it is located not very successful micro USB type A connector and hole in which the reset button (RESET) is hidden.




There is a rubber lining on the bottom for better stability of the alarm clock. The charging current and various certificates are also indicated here.


Inspection finished now let's get to work.

Device operation

Since the alarm clock can be used without a phone, we will first consider this mode of operation.
We turn on the device by holding the button, after that a Chinese girl greets us, recommends connecting the phone for synchronization, and a blue LED starts flashing under the grid, but we will skip it for now.


The transition between modes is carried out using a double click and is accompanied by prompts in Chinese. The first mode is the time setting. By turning the button, set the hours and minutes (by turning the minutes clockwise, counterclockwise hours). Unfortunately, the time format is 12 hours, i.e. only numbers from 1 to 12 are displayed, the crescent moon icon serves to indicate the evening time. After setting the time, save the settings by pressing the button once.




The second mode is the alarm setting, it is carried out identically. When an alarm is saved, a bell icon appears. The third mode, alarm ringtone selection, there are three standard ringtones (big ben, cuckoo, standard alarm sound). The fourth mode, deleting the alarm.


Now let's move on to the operation of the alarm clock paired with the phone.
To begin with, we go to the 4pda website and download the Russified MiHome application. We turn on the bluetooth on the phone, go to the application and add a new device. We synchronize and wait for the download of plugins for the device to work. We open the tab and observe the Chinese language everywhere, naturally most users will not like it, although everything is intuitively clear there.


Therefore, we go again to w3bsit3-dns.com and download Russified plugins for our device. Disable auto-update of plugins in the application, replace native plugins with modernized ones. Use it!
Everything is written in detail in the header on w3bsit3-dns.com, so replacing plugins is not difficult. It will be easiest for users with rooted devices (downloaded, replaced), for those who do not have root, I advise the method using Java.



On the home page The device displays the current charge, current time, the selected alarm time, and it is also possible to add an alarm, or switch to night mode. Night mode is designed for faster falling asleep to your favorite music, it allows you to select the desired tracks and the duration of their playback. It is also possible to set a musical composition from the phone's memory to the alarm melody.
To turn off the alarm during alarm, you must double-click on the device button. When pressed once, the alarm will work again after 9 minutes and so on until you wake up and turn off correctly.


Also in the alarm clock application there is a general menu. In it, you can force synchronize the time, set the alarm signal (the number of repetitions and the interval between them), turn on the evening time and alarm indicator, as well as instructions for English language.


Turning off the evening time indicator and the alarm clock is necessary, first of all, in order not to get confused at night in time, because at some distance from the alarm clock at night, it is difficult to make out where the indicators are and where the minutes are.




In addition to the alarm and clock functions, the device can play music directly from the phone using the bluetooth function. It has a 5W speaker and two passive radiators (diffuser without voice coil and magnetic system) for better sound quality. Music control is possible both directly from the phone and the alarm itself. Pressing once puts playback into pause mode, turning the button changes the volume, pressing and turning switches the track. Because before this portable speakers I only had from cheap "noname" manufacturers, then I was very surprised by the sound coming from the alarm clock. Clean, loud, bass in moderation, does not jump on the table. You can turn on your favorite music at any time while at home and go about your business.
To re-sync your phone with an alarm clock (after coming home from work), you need to hold down the button on the device for 5 seconds. The device does not automatically connect, apparently due to energy savings.


It is possible to connect the alarm clock to a computer or other android devices without using the application, thanks to the bluetooth connection. It is defined as a headset and performs the function of sound output.

Sound comparison.

Working hours

The manufacturer claims 8 hours of music playback or 15 days of alarm mode. In mixed mode (60-90 minutes of listening to music per day), the battery lasted for 8 days. The device has a 18650 battery with a capacity (according to the manufacturer) of 2600 mAh.
Alarm charge schedule. (Level of residual charge 10%)

Disassembly

Alarm design.

Now let's start destroying the device. To do this, we take a standard set for phones and a plastic spatula around the perimeter, open the front part. It is better not to repeat this, because the mesh is made of fabric, it can be easily damaged, even with plastic, and the latches inside are glued. Only after spending a lot of nerves and using the whole set of swear words, I removed the front cover.




On the reverse side of the cover, a control board with LEDs is installed, it is powered and interacts with all other elements using loops.




Next, we clean off the remaining glue and with the help of blows on back cover alarm clock, take out the musical component.




The glued box contains an active speaker and two passive radiators. I didn’t take it apart further, so as not to destroy the idyll of sound.




At the back, the 18650 battery is placed in a special crib and glued with a foam backing to prevent vibration inside the device. The contact of the wires with the battery is made by soldering.


Alarm charging board.

Outcome

In the personal advantages of the device, I will certainly bring a pleasant appearance, high-quality sound, good capacity battery and an alarm clock function that works at 100% (the alarm clock works with a gradually increasing volume of the melody, which prevents a sharp jump out of bed with a pulse under 150)
Nibbling:
1) time display, I would like ordinary numbers instead of dots
2) I would like more connectors on the case (microSD, USB type A)

Good afternoon, dear readers of my blog. Alexander Glebov is in touch with you. I was inspired to write this article by xiaomi with its bracelet - xiaomi mi band 1s pulse smart alarm clock. And the bottom line is this, after the next update of the program, the smart alarm clock stopped working, I began to figure it out ...

!!!Important update!!!

Since xiaomi disabled the smart alarm clock at the firmware level of the bracelet, the method described below may not help you, so I wrote an article where I solved the problem with the firmware and the smart alarm clock works, read -

background

bracelet for fitness xiaomi mi band 1s pulse is a strap device that fits around your wrist like a watch. Designed to track the number of steps you have taken, can measure the pulse, as well as track sleep phases and wake up at the right time when it is easiest to wake up. The cost of the bracelet if ordered on Aliexpress will be about $13-15. Xiaomi has a special software called Mi Fit. In this program, you can see all the statistics. How much I slept, how long I walked, etc. Including earlier it was possible to enable the smart alarm function, but for some reason they removed this function from version 2.0.X. Now Mi Fit can simply wake up at a set time. So I started looking for a way to return a smart alarm clock.

Xiaomi mi band 1s pulse smart alarm clock - not working

I “smoked” the w3bsit3-dns.com forum for a long time, read the posts and came to the conclusion that now you can’t set up a smart alarm clock with the standard Mi Fit program, but xiaomi developers have saved a smart alarm clock in the mi band bracelet. To activate it, there is a wonderful android program Mi Band Notify & Fitness. You can download it at play market(if you want me to post it on my blog, write about it in the comments). So, the program is shareware, but it is suitable for basic functions. Steps counts, smart alarm works. Previously, a lot of people complained about this program, they say, it is slow, it takes a long time to open and connect to the bracelet, etc. I have been using for several days now. Didn't notice any problems. So let's see how to set up a smart alarm in Mi Band Notify & Fitness

Keeping track of your health is now in fashion, and therefore fitness gadgets are in great demand today. At the same time, Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is currently one of the most popular trackers in the world. iOS users also love this device very much. The secret of the tracker's popularity lies in the successful combination of decent functionality and low price. The quality of workmanship is also on top, because Xiaomi is China for which it is not a shame. In addition, unlike the first generation of the fitness bracelet, Xiaomi Mi Band 2 has a convenient display.

The Mi Fit application has been created specifically to control the tracker. However, the developers of the program decided not to bother with the support of a large number of languages ​​and Russian is not officially supported - and it does not exist. official version Mi Fit in Russian neither for iOS nor for Android. So the user has to choose - either use the program in English, or try to install an unofficial Russian-language version on the device.

In this article we will tell you how to download on iOS official app in English and how to install Russian.

Install on iPhone application Mi Fit in English is very simple, because it is this version that is freely available in the iOS application store - the App Store. That is, all you have to do is:

That's all! Once the download is complete, you can start using the app to track your physical indicators and health.

Mi Fit for iOS in Russian

In general, it is worth saying that the Mi Fit interface is simple and intuitive, and therefore we see no reason to bother with installing the Russian version, because, as you probably already guessed, this will not be so easy due to the closeness of iOS. However, if you really want to have an application in Russian, and for this you are ready to overcome some difficulties, well, our guides will help you.

Installation without jailbreak

Until recently, it was not possible to install Mi Fit for Mi Band 1 and 2 on iOS without a jailbreak.

Recall that a jailbreak is a procedure for hacking a system, which is decided by users who are not ready to put up with its closeness. After a jailbreak, the user opens up more opportunities for customizing the platform, however, the warranty for the device is lost.

Today, there is a loophole that allows you to install an unofficial Russian-language Mi Fit on your iPhone without jailbreaking. The method is quite tricky, and not everyone can crank it - here it is detailed description. If you have any questions along the way, you can ask them.

Installation with a jailbreak

For those who jailbroken their iPhone, things will be easier. You just need to download Russian-language Mi Fit from here and install the downloaded IPA file on your iPhone via IPA Installer or iFunbox.

If you don’t have a jailbreak, and the method without a jailbreak is not clear, we advise you to use the English version - well, don’t hack iOS for the sake of a simple health tracking application.

MiFit functionality

And in order for you to understand how simple and unpretentious the application is, here we will conduct a small review of it.

By the way, we note right away that the app for mi band on iOS has a somewhat reduced functionality compared to the Android version, but the main options are present.

So, when you download the application and open it, you will see a white and gray menu and the inscription Unpaired, which means that the bracelet is not connected. So the first task is to make friends between the tracker and the smartphone, for this:


Ready! The tracker is connected and ready to analyze your health.

Swipe to the left of the main menu takes you to the sleep section - here you can see how long you slept per day, the amount of deep and REM sleep. Clicking on the upper area opens the graph section, where you can see what time you slept deeply and what time you slept lightly.

With a right swipe from the main menu, you are taken to a section where your weight information and other characteristics are indicated, but all of them only work if you also have a Mi Scale.

In the upper right corner is another interesting button. By clicking on it, a menu drops out from which you can go to the My Devices section - it contains information about the charge level of the bracelet and allows you to make some settings and control the tracker, for example, if you have lost the bracelet, press Locate Band, and it will start vibrating and flashing. The Vibrate for Incoming calls option is also interesting, when activated, the bracelet will vibrate when there is an incoming call.

In addition to the My Devices section in the menu that pops up when you press the top button on the right, the Alarm section is interesting, that is, an alarm clock. By the way, it is strange that the smart alarm clock option is not implemented inside the application - after all, the bracelet can analyze sleep and a regular alarm clock is included in the program. Well, perhaps this strange oversight will be fixed in the updates.

Let's summarize

There is no official version of the Mi Fit application in Russian. However, if you really want to, you can put an unofficial Russian-language version, however, this is not so easy to do due to the closeness of iOS. In addition, we believe that in this situation the game is not worth the candle - the application has an intuitive interface that is easy to master in any language.

Detailed video review Mi Fit can be viewed here.

With the advent of built-in alarm clocks, the probability of oversleeping is reduced to zero, because you can set the exact time in advance and wake up from the selected melody. All Xiaomi smartphones are equipped with this feature, which makes their use very convenient.

Where is the Xiaomi alarm clock located?

There is a clock widget on the desktop. Touching it, you will be taken to the application, where a list of functions will be visible at the top: “Alarm clock”, “Clock”, “Stopwatch” and “Timer”. Accordingly, choose what you need.

If the widget is not visible on the main screen, then just go to the "Tools" menu and find the corresponding icon in it.

Xiaomi alarm setting

Thanks to the extensive functionality of Xiaomi smartphones, you can put not one, but several alarms at once, which are displayed in a list.


How to set the time

At the bottom of the screen are hours and minutes, which are selected by scrolling up and down. After the time setting is completed, click on "OK" (located in the upper right corner).


How to choose a ringtone

Among the advantages of the alarm clocks built into the MIUI 9 firmware, it is worth noting that the sounding composition can either be left by default or put your own.


To do this, click on the "Melody" menu of the Xiaomi alarm clock, after which you will be taken to the selected folder. When a suitable melody is selected, confirm your action by pressing "OK". Similarly, the selection of musical compositions is made in other devices from Xiaomi, including the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 smart alarm clock. If you need an additional guarantee that you will hear a signal, you can use the "Vibrate on signal" function.

How to choose a repeat frequency

The function of choosing the frequency of application activation is very convenient. So, it is possible to turn on once, only on weekdays or weekends, the necessary days of the week, or turn on the operation on an ongoing basis. It is easy to determine the appropriate frequency, for which it is enough to go to the "Repeat" submenu, and then touch "OK" again.


How to turn on the sound, decrease / increase the volume

If you notice that under the image of the clock there is an inscription “Alarm sound is disabled”, then even if the sound setting is made correctly, you will not hear (except for the vibrating call, provided that it is previously activated).
