However, other sync data APPs such as weather, health data sync, schedule, etc. will require reopening the Mi Fitness APP;
3. Enabling power-saving mode on iOS will result in decreased Bluetooth connection stability and potential disconnection issues;
4. The APP needs to enable the location permission [Always allow] to ensure that the APP background remains connected.
16. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 experience unsynchronized data when in a prolonged disconnected state with an iOS phone?
A: Here are reasons for this issue on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10:
When APPs run in the background for an extended period, they will be removed, causing the device to disconnect from the Mi Fitness APP and preventing data synchronization. To sync data, you need to enter the Mi Fitness APP for automatic reconnection and data synchronization. After the APP is removed in the background, reopening it will automatically reconnect the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 for normal synchronization.
The occurrence of being removed in the background is primarily due to the APP using up the RAM. To free up sufficient resources for newly opened APPs, the system needs to terminate some background-running APPs to free up RAM. The frequency of being removed in the background varies depending on the device model and iOS software version. For example, on an iPhone 12 with iOS 16.3.1 and 4GB of RAM, running 4 apps will remove the APP from the background. However, on the iOS 16.4 official version, running 5-6 APPs will not remove the APP from the background. This varies depending on specific APPs, such as the camera APP which consumes more memory.
To reduce the frequency of being removed from the background during normal usage, consider the following two points:
1. Ensure sufficient battery power to avoid overheating of the phone and disable low-power mode. Insufficient battery power, severe overheating or running the phone in low-power mode will significantly increase the frequency of background APP termination;
2. Open [Settings] >> [General] >> [Background App Refresh] on your iPhone and enable this feature.
To determine whether the APP has been removed in the background by the system, please refer to the following operation:
1. If the Mi Fitness APP has been removed in the background, reopening it will follow these two steps: first, display the APP launch interface, then display the APP's home interface;
2. If the Mi Fitness APP has not been removed in the background, reopening the APP will resume the previous operation interface before exiting.
17. Q: Why can't the phone reconnect or the Mi Fitness APP not showing the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 when multiple phones are logged into the same Xiaomi Account?
A: Here are several reasons for this issue on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10:
1. The current phone cannot reconnect because the previous phone has unbound the device and the current phone has not synchronized the account. Therefore it cannot reconnect to this device;
2. Check which interface the band is displaying. If it's on the QR code interface or language selection interface, unbind the device from the Mi Fitness APP on your phone and then re-scan to pair;
3. Make sure the Bluetooth icon on the band is constantly on. If it is, use the [Find phone] feature to check if it's connected to the current phone. If not, unbind the device from the APP and then rebind it with the current phone;
4. If the device is not shown on the previous phone's Mi Fitness APP device management interface, it means the previous phone has unbound the device. After logging in with the same account on the new phone and syncing, the band will not be displayed. If the band is on the QR code interface or language selection interface, re-scan to pair;
5. When connecting the band to two phones using the same Xiaomi Account, after resetting the band, pair it again with the new phone and turn off Bluetooth on the previous phone. If the new phone still cannot reconnect, it is because the new phone did not automatically retrieve new login and pairing information.
To avoid this issue, here are some suggestions as follows:
1. Try to avoid logging in with the same account on multiple phones;
2. If there is already a situation where you cannot connect back, turn off Bluetooth on other devices logged in with the same account and then try again;
3. Ensure a stable network connection and restart the APP after removing it to trigger the re-delivery of login and pairing information from the cloud, ensuring the band can reconnect.
18. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 show disconnected when connecting to a device?
A: Because the Mi Fitness APP was removed in the background, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 will show disconnected. Please check if you have enabled all background running permissions for the APP.
Here are two ways to set the permissions:
1. After the device and the Mi Fitness APP are first connected, go to the phone settings and let the Mi Fitness APP always run in the background;
2. Open the [Mi Fitness] APP >> [Device] >> [Notifications and calls] >> [Background permissions] to set the permissions. Check whether the permissions of [Turn off Battery saver], [Select “No restrictions” in Background settings], [Allow app autostart] and [Lock the app in background] are all enabled.
19. Q: Why can't the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 be found when pairing with a new phone after it has been reset to factory settings?
A: To resolve this issue on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10, please troubleshoot as follows:
1. When the band is connected to an iOS phone and it is reset to factory settings, the iOS phone's Bluetooth will attempt to reconnect to it. This can result in the new phone being unable to find the band because the iOS phone and the band will keep connecting and disconnecting. During the connection period, the new phone cannot search for the band. If the new phone is in scanning mode during the disconnection period, it will find the band. To resolve this, go to the iOS phone's Bluetooth settings, find the previously connected band and tap [Forget this device]. Then, use the new phone to search and pair with the band;
2. When the band is connected to an Android phone and it is reset to factory settings, the Mi Fitness APP will reconnect to the band and prompt the account holder to either [Remove this device] or [Add]. In this case, the new phone cannot find the band. Select [Remove this device] and then use the new phone to search and connect.
20. Q: What to do if the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 fails to bind to the Mi Fitness APP?
A: Please solve the issue on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 by following the steps below:
1. Check the network connection of your phone. If the Wi-Fi is disconnected, try to reconnect. If the Wi-Fi connection is normal but you still cannot bind, please use the mobile data;
2. Reset the device to factory settings;
3. Clear the Bluetooth information of the device in the Bluetooth list of the phone (if there is no Bluetooth pairing information of the device in the Bluetooth list, you can skip this step);
4. Turn off the Bluetooth and then turn it back on;
5. Open the Mi Fitness APP and add the device again.
Note:
1. If the band is added to the blacklist in the Bluetooth settings of the Xiaomi HyperOS/MIUI phone, Bluetooth pairing and binding can no longer be performed. You need to manually delete this device from the blacklist before you can perform Bluetooth pairing and binding;
2. If these steps do not fix the issue, it is recommended to restart the band and the phone's Bluetooth, and then retry after restarting the phone.
21. Q: How to enable Background permissions for the Mi Fitness APP after pairing with the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: Device Bluetooth connection, message synchronization, data synchronization, etc., rely on the Mi Fitness APP to continue running in the background.
Note:
If you are using the Xiaomi 15 (HyperOS 2.0), please turn the function in [Settings] >> [Battery] >> scroll down to find the Mi Fitness APP and tap it >> [No restrictions].
Pebble mode and necklace mode
1. Q: How to use the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 necklace mode?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 offers a fashionable necklace pendant that prioritizes accessory style. The device can be worn as a pendant for improved aesthetics and presentation in this mode.
We provide several exquisite band displays specifically designed for necklace wear. These band displays offer superior visual effects in both the active and standby screens. For more details, please visit the [Manage band displays] and then go to [Necklace mode] section.
In this mode, the data of steps is supported for monitoring. However, the data items such as heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, and vitality score are not supported for monitoring. The band does not support turning off message notifications and heart rate light. Due to the wearing style, detection accuracy cannot be ensured.
Note:
You cannot switch to necklace mode from the APP while during the workout, or in Fcous or Timer.
The following is the combination pattern of necklace pendant for your reference:
2. Q: Why is the step count on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 deviation larger in necklace mode?
A: The step count in necklace mode on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 only supports daily walking. In other scenarios such as cycling or running, the larger movement will cause significant deviations in the step count. For more accurate results, it is recommended to refer to the step count while walking when using necklace mode.
3. Q: Why are there no exercise data tracked in the necklace mode on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: For your reference, the reasons for this issue on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 are as follows:
The necklace mode is specifically designed for necklace pendants. In this mode, the device functions as a pendant, enhancing aesthetic appeal and presentation. It only supports step count detection and does not support other workouts or health-related data items.
4. Q: How to use the pebble mode on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 and what should to be aware of during use?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 series retains and provides the pebble mode, but the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is not compatible with the pebbles of the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 and the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 in terms of hardware.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 has adjustments and differences in overall size, especially in the ceramic edition. If you put it into the pebbles of the previous generation, there will be a problem of inappropriate size, which can cause the band to be thrown out of the pebbles while running. If you need to use this function, it is recommended that you observe the state of the pebbles to avoid physical damage caused by throwing them out (physical damage is not covered by the free warranty).
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports a Running form recognition feature. By using a specific wearing method, you can obtain particular running form information from the device, helping you analyze and improve your running form.
The detailed instructions for the installation of the pebble mode are as follows:
1. To use the pebble mode, press the main body of the band into the pebble capsule in the correct orientation;
2. Then press the shoe clip button at the bottom of the pebble capsule to release the spring clip;
3. Finally thread the shoe clip through your shoelaces from underneath and press to secure the spring clip.
Note:
After wearing, please check that the band display is oriented towards you. If the direction is incorrect, it will result in inaccurate data recording.
The data items that support detection include running and cycling, detailed introductions are as follows:
1. Cadence refers to the frequency of footsteps during walking or running, representing the number of times the legs alternate per unit of time. It is a crucial factor in determining walking or running speed, expressed in steps per second. In race walking, cadence can reach 3.5 to 3.7 steps per second, while in sprinting it can reach 4.6 to 5.1 steps per second. Cadence is primarily influenced by the flexibility of the nervous system, the percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers in the muscles, the coordination of the motor organs, muscle strength and contraction speed. These factors are largely innate but can be improved through scientific training;
2. Running styles with relatively high cadence are referred to as cadence running while those with larger stride lengths are known as stride length running. Among elite runners, stride length is the key factor determining performance;
3. When the pace is fast and the cadence is too low, it indicates a larger stride length, which increases the risk of injury. When the pace is slow and the cadence is too high, it indicates a smaller stride length, resulting in lower running efficiency;
4. Ground contact time refers to the time it takes for a single foot's sole to make contact with and completely leave the ground during running, measured in milliseconds per footstrike;
5. The pebble mode supports detecting impact force at landing, the force experienced by the foot upon landing on the ground, which is also a potential factor contributing to sports injuries. Upon landing, the impact force can be approximately 1.15 times body weight, and upon full support, it will reach 2.0 to 3.0 times body weight. However, reducing running speed by 30 seconds per minute increases the force by 0.5 to 0.6 times body weight;
6. Cadence is measured by the number of revolutions per minute of the pedals.
Note:
You cannot switch to necklace mode from the APP while during the workout, in Focus or Timer.
The detailed instructions about the pebble mode are as follows:
1. To use the pebble mode, switch to it on the APP or wearable device. Follow the prompts to initiate outdoor running, indoor running, walking, or cycling on the APP's exercise interface;
2. On the band, you need to tap [Settings] >> [Running mode] >> [Pebble mode] to switch it. On the Mi Fitness APP, you need to tap [Device] >> [Switch running mode] >> [Pebble mode] to switch it on;
3. If you want to exit the pebble mode, touch the screen to wake it up, swipe up to exit and hold the arrow while sliding up to confirm exit;
4. If you want to initiate a workout session using the pebble mode, open the [Mi Fitness APP] >> [Workout] >> choose any of the exercise options >> select [The pebble mode] >> select [GO] >> ready to wear.
Note:
1. This mode cannot record heart rate, blood oxygen, or other similar data;
2. Ensure that the exercise session is initiated within the APP to record exercise data.
The detailed instructions for the removal of the pebble mode are as follows:
1. To remove the pebble mode, press the shoe buckle clip button at the bottom of the pebble capsule, release the spring clip and remove the pebble capsule from the shoelace;
2. Use your fingertips or a pry piece to gently insert into the top or bottom of the pebble capsule and pull it out from the groove of the wristband body;
3. Separate the wristband body from the pebble capsule.
5. Q: Why is there exercise data lost in the pebble mode when using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: If you encounter missing exercise data in the pebble mode when using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10, you can ensure the Mi Fitness APP is added to the background protection list. Additionally, ensure the APP has necessary permissions enabled to allow the wristband functions to work correctly. Open the [Mi Fitness] APP >> [Device] >> [Notifications and calls] >> [Background permissions] to set the permissions. Check whether the permissions of [Turn off Battery saver], [Select “No restrictions” in Background settings], [Allow app autostart] and [Lock the app in background] are all enabled.
6. Q: Why is there a discrepancy between the actual data and the recorded data in the pebble mode when using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: The discrepancies of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 are summarized as follows:
1. The pebble mode only supports wearing the band display towards yourself. There can be significant data differences if worn in the opposite direction, so please ensure correct wearing orientation;
2. If you are running outdoors, discrepancies in data, such as ground contact to flight ratio and step count will arise due to individual differences in running habits. The latest software version has been optimized to address this;
3. For indoor running, as actual movement is not occurring, the estimated exercise distance is based on personal information (height, weight, etc.) and exercise conditions, which will lead to data discrepancies. The APP allows a distance calibration feature, which allows for manual adjustment of distance post-indoor running.

A: In the quiet status, when the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 detects 10 minutes of heart rate higher than the configured high heart rate or lower than the configured low heart rate in a row, heart rate alert will be pushed. It is a normal design that no alert is pushed when the heart rate is higher or lower than the configured value once or several times.
21. Q: Why does the screen of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 display two moon icons after adopting G-Functional band display and enabling DND mode?
A: The moon icon in the upper left corner of G-Functional band display on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 indicates whether DND is enabled. When DND is disabled the moon icon is hollow, and when DND is enabled, the moon icon is solid. The purple DND icon in the center is an icon floating on the homepage. Regardless of the band display, the purple moon icon can indicate whether the DND mode is on. It will be optimized in terms of band display.
22. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 not push third-party notifications after connecting to iOS devices?
A: If the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 doesn’t push third-party notifications from the iOS phone, please first check whether the relevant options are enabled.
Please refer to the following methods for troubleshooting:

1. Q: What is the sleep monitoring range on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports sleep monitoring, including long sleep and nap, all of which are monitored 24 hours a day. After wearing the band normally and falling asleep, the band can automatically identify the sleeping state through the built-in sensor.
For your reference, here are more details about the sleep monitoring on the band:
1. Sleep duration greater than or equal to 3 hours will be recorded as long sleep, and sleep duration less than 3 hours will be recorded as naps (sleep duration less than 20 minutes will not be recorded);
2. The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports [Advanced monitoring], which can track the distribution of REM, but greatly affect the battery life. You can check the sleep distribution status on the band and the APP;
3. Method for checking sleep record: You can check the main sleep record of the day on the band. After synchronizing the data to the APP, you can go to the Mi Fitness APP >> [Sleep] to check the historical sleep data, including Day, Week, and Month. Sleep distribution includes total sleep time, Wake-ups duration, Light sleep time, and Deep sleep time. You can also check the sleep status of at each time point during your daily sleep period. REM can only be recorded when [Advanced monitoring] is enabled.
Note:
1. If the band is in a relatively quiet state and there are movements similar to sleeping, the sensor will judge it as sleeping, resulting in errors in the sleeping time. For example, if the sleep is miscalculated when watching TV, playing with mobile phone in bed, or reading, it will be that the movement amplitude and frequency are relatively small, which is similar to the scene of sleeping;
2. When you enable [Advanced monitoring] and synchronize the sleep report to the Mi Fitness APP, you can manually correct in the APP, which will not be synchronized to the band. The final result is based on the data in the APP.
2. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 generate such health data as heart rate, blood oxygen, and sleep data when not worn?
A: If the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 generates such health data as heart rate, blood oxygen, and sleep data when not worn, please refer to the following details for troubleshooting:
1. Please check whether one account is bound to multiple devices;
2. The band indirectly calculates health data such as sleep and heart rate through the changes in the intensity of the PPG light signal reflection. Since the signal reception is relatively sensitive, there will be other non-living objects (curtains, sheets, etc.) in life scenes that can reflect light close to them, which will cause misdetection. This is a normal phenomenon.
3. Q: Does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 support monitoring breathing rate during sleep?
A: After enabling [Breathing rate], the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports automatically monitoring breathing rate when you wear the band and go to sleep at night. This feature will greatly affect the battery life. Please enable this feature according to your needs.
To enable [Breathing rate] on the phone, you can go to the Mi Fitness APP >> [Sleep] >> three-dot icon >> [Settings] >> [Breathing rate].
To enable [Breathing rate] on the band, you can also go to the Sleep APP on the band >> [Settings] >> [Breathing rate] >> enable the option.
4. Q: Why is there no monitoring record after enabling [Breathing rate] on the Mi Fitness when using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: If there is no monitoring record after enabling [Breathing rate] on the Mi Fitness when using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10, please refer to the following methods for troubleshooting:
1. Please check whether [Breathing rate] is enabled on the Mi Fitness APP. You can go to the Mi Fitness APP >> [Sleep] >> three-dot icon >> [Settings] >> [Breathing rate];
2. If the sleep duration is too short, the breathing rate data will not be displayed because the effective monitoring time is too short (the night sleep time is more than 3 hours);
3. Improper wearing will result in failure to monitor sleep breathing rate. It is recommended not to wear it too loosely, and keep the device one finger away from the wrist bone;
4. If the above methods can’t solve the problem, please check the available APP and band firmware updates. You can also restart the band or rebind the band and try it again.
5. Q: How long does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 take to singly measure the blood oxygen?
A: It takes about 30 seconds for the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 to singly measure the blood oxygen. If the measuring time is too long, it will be caused by wearing status, skin texture, and environment. Please adjust the band position to ensure the band cover fits snugly on the wrist.
6. Q: What changes does the sensor indication at the bottom of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 have when measuring blood oxygen?
A: Three indicators on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 will be turned on when measuring blood oxygen, including green light, red light, and blood oxygen infrared light (invisible to the naked eye).
7. Q: Why does the sensor indicator on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 flash in red when not worn at night?
A: For your reference, here are the reasons for the sensor indicator on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 slashing in red when not worn at night:
1. When the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 enables [Advanced monitoring] in the sleep settings and [All-day tracking] in the blood oxygen settings, the sensor indicator on the band will flash in red when worn. If you do not wear the device and find the red light flashing, it will be a misdetection of the wearing monitoring function. The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 adopts an infrared + green light high-precision PPG heart rate sensor. Compared with traditional wearing monitoring, the monitoring accuracy has been greatly improved. However, when the band is placed in an environment similar to the wrist, misdetection will also occur;
2. When the band is not worn, please avoid blocking the heart rate indicator with any objects (Common misdetection scenarios: The band is placed in a bag, on a bed or table, etc.);
3. If you don’t wear the band during sleep, it is recommended that you disable [Advanced monitoring], which can save the band power.
8. Q: Does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 support abnormal blood oxygen alert when the blood oxygen data is at risk?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports configuring [Blood oxygen alert] as [80%], [85%], and [90%]. The measured values are for reference only and are not intended for medical reference or diagnosis. If you feel any discomfort, please consult a medical institution.
9. Q: Why are the measured values of blood oxygen on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 too low?
A: If the measured values of blood oxygen are too low on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10, please refer to the following details:
1. Please check if the band is not worn in the correct position. Since there are fewer blood vessels in the wrist, the blood oxygen value is not easy to measure. Please wear the band at a distance of one finger from the wrist bone (ulnar protrusion);
2. Please check if the band is worn too loosely. Please wear the band tightly, with a slight sense of tightness, and the band will not move when shaking the wrist;
3. Stretch your forearm and open your elbow joint to avoid squeezing the blood vessels, which will cause blood to flow poorly and make the measurement value inaccurate;
4. Put your arm on a stable place such as a desktop for measurement, with the band screen facing up, to avoid shaking and unstable signals;
5. It is recommended that you move the band wearing position, ensure that the back of the band fits the wrist and keep it still before measuring again;
6. The latest version has been optimized accordingly, please upgrade to the latest version for further experience.
10. Q: Does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 support Remind to stand up?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports Remind to stand up. After [Remind to stand up] is enabled in the Mi Fitness APP, when the band detects inactivity for 50 minutes in each natural hour, it will vibrate and remind you to stand up at the 50th minute.
Sitting for extended periods can lead to various health issues. While wearing the band daily, it is recommended to get up and move around once every hour. Frequently staying in a standing position is a convenient way to reduce sedentary behavior and increase energy expenditure.
The stand reminder can only be enabled through the APP, where you can set the start and end times, as well as configure a do-not-disturb period during lunch break.
To turn on the stand reminder, open the Mi Fitness APP >> [Device] >> [Fitness and health] >> [Standing] >> turn on/off [Remind to stand up] >> Set time period.
11. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 remind me to stand up when I’m in the standing status?
A: The purpose of reminding to stand up on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is to get you moving. The band needs to detect wrist movement and step count to determine whether the standing activity behavior has been achieved. Therefore, if you have been standing still or moving slightly, you will receive a standing reminder. At the same time, we are also constantly optimizing the standing determination algorithm to gradually improve your experience.
12. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 remind to stand up when the movement just happened?
A: The determination of a standing reminder requires certain conditions. If you just start to move and suddenly receive a standing reminder from the band, it is because you are in an active state but have not reached the condition of determining the standing. At this time, you can continue to move and ignore the standing reminder issued by the band. If this phenomenon occurs frequently, you can submit relevant feedback. The algorithm is constantly being improved to improve your experience.
13. Q: How to check the Vitality score of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports the Vitality score function.
In the band, you can check the Vitality score of the last 7 days and the Vitality score gained every day in the application list. After each exercise, you can also view the Vitality score that can be increased by this exercise in the exercise report.
In the Mi Fitness APP, you can go to the [Health] interface, and check the Vitality score of the last 7 days and the Vitality score gained every day.
14. Q: Why does the Vitality score achievement notification on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 appear at midnight every day?
A: The notification appears only when your 7 days cumulative Vitality score increases from below to equal or above the thresholds of 30, 60, or 100. Please update to the latest version to enjoy this feature.
15. Q: Why is today's Vitality score on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 lower than yesterday's?
A: The Vitality score is calculated based on personalized data from the past 7 days. At midnight each day, the Vitality score earned exactly 7 days ago expires and is no longer counted. As a result, you can notice a decrease in your score compared to the previous day. To maintain your Vitality score, you need to keep earning new points consistently.
16. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 not have Heart rate records?
A: If the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 does not have Heart rate records, please refer to the following to troubleshoot:
1. First check whether the green light flashes when the back of the band touches the skin. If the green light flashes, it means that the Heart rate monitoring function of the band is enabled normally. If there is no green light flashing, please verify whether the Heart rate monitoring is enabled;
2. Please wear it accurately. The band can not be worn too loose. Adjust the wearing and then re-enter the page of Heart rate function of the band on the APP to check;
3. Excessively dry skin and skin scars will affect heart rate measurement. Low winter temperatures will also affect heart rate measurement;
4. If the problem is not caused by the details above, you can restart the band and change the arm to wear to try again.
17. Q: Why does the green light flicker even when the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is not being worn?
A: If the green light flickers intermittently for 10-30 seconds, it is because the band uses infrared and green light for wear detection. Compared to traditional wear detection, this provides much higher accuracy and precision. Therefore, even when not worn, there will be brief green light flickering.
If the green light continues to flash, check whether you have activated sports mode. In this mode, the green light stays on to ensure fast heart rate measurement.

11. Q: Why is the outdoor activity distance on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 sometimes highly inaccurate?
A: Since the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 does not have a built-in GPS module, all positioning and track data rely on the connected smartphone. Therefore, outdoor workouts require the phone’s location services to be enabled and the band to remain connected to the phone throughout the activity.
The methods to enable phone location services are as follows:
1. For Android phones: Before starting an outdoor workout with the band, set the location permission for the Mi Fitness APP to [Allow all the time] or [Allow only while using the app]. Also, enable [Background permission] for the APP in the device interface. If location permission is set to [Allow only while using the app] and the Mi Fitness APP runs in the background, the GPS track can be lost and the recorded distance can be inaccurate;
2. For iOS phones: Before starting an outdoor workout, set the location permission for the Mi Fitness APP to [Always] via [Settings] >> [Mi Fitness] >> [Location], and enable [Background App Refresh] for the APP. Otherwise, the GPS track can be missing and distance data can be inaccurate after the workout;
3. If the phone’s location services are properly enabled and the workout track is displayed in the Mi Fitness APP, but the recorded distance is still inaccurate, try zooming in on the track. If long straight lines are observed, it can indicate signal obstruction (such as buildings or trees), which can lead to GPS deviation and affect distance accuracy.
12. Q: Why is no workout data generated after exercising with the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: If no workout data is saved on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10, please consider the following reasons:
1. Ensure the band has sufficient battery before starting your workout. If the band powers off or restarts during the activity, no workout data will be generated;
2. If the workout is initiated via the Mi Fitness APP, make sure the APP remains running in the background and stays connected to the band. If the APP is force-closed in the background, the workout session can be forcibly ended. When you reopen the APP, it can ask whether to continue the workout. If you choose not to continue, the workout data will not be saved;
3. Outdoor workouts rely on the phone’s GPS to record routes and distance, so it is necessary to enable GPS and location permissions for the APP.
(1) On iOS: Go to [Settings] >> [Privacy & Services] >> [Location Services], find the Mi Fitness APP, and set location access to [Always]/[While Using the App]. If location is set only to [While Using the App], GPS data can be incomplete or missing;
(2) On Android: The path to location settings can vary by manufacturer. For the Mi Fitness APP, go to [Settings] >> [Apps] >> [Manage apps] >> [Mi Fitness] >> [App permissions] >> [Location] >> enable [Allow all the time].
13. Q: Why can't the latest workout record be viewed directly on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: If a workout is initiated from the Mi Fitness APP, the workout summary will not sync to the Xiaomi Smart Band 10. Only workouts started directly from the band can be viewed on the band itself. Therefore, to view workout records on the band, please start your workout from the band.
14. Q: Why do the Stats on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 differ from those shown on the phone?
A: If the Stats shown on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 and the phone appear inconsistent, please note that workouts initiated via the Mi Fitness APP will not sync their summaries to the band. Only workouts started from the band can be viewed on the band. If you want to view your stats directly on the band, please start the workout from the band.
15. Q: Does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 support swim stroke recognition?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 supports recognition of four swimming strokes: breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, and freestyle. The band automatically detects the stroke used during swimming workouts and displays the primary stroke. If the swimming form is irregular, the band can fail to correctly identify the stroke. When multiple strokes are used in a single session, the stroke will be labeled as mixed.
16. Q: Is it necessary to always allow location access for the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 when using an iOS device?
A: Yes, on iOS devices, workouts can only be started when location access is set to [Always]. Location permission settings typically include [Never], [While Using the App], [Ask Next Time Or When I Share], and [Always]. To ensure accurate tracking and complete workout data, Mi Fitness requires the [Always] setting to initiate workouts properly.
Please note that even with this permission, the APP does not constantly collect your location data. It only uses location services during workout sessions or other scenarios where location tracking is needed.
If location access is set to [While Using the App], GPS signals and track data can be lost once the APP goes into the background, which severely impacts the workout experience.
In addition, for wearables without independent GPS, all location data relies on the phone. If the phone does not grant sufficient location permission, the wearable can be unable to retrieve GPS information. Therefore, to ensure complete and accurate workout tracking, it is required to grant [Always] location access on iOS. We are also continuously exploring new ways to optimize how permissions are managed.
17. Q: Why is there a large deviation in the calorie calculation on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: Calorie calculation on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is based on factors like heart rate and wrist movement. With each product generation, the algorithm is updated to incorporate more variables. Therefore, the calculation logic can differ from earlier models.
On wearable devices, calories burned throughout the day are generally divided into two categories:
1. Passive calories (daily calories): These are calories burned during daily activities without starting a workout manually. When the band is not worn or you are asleep, calorie count will not increase. However, light activities, such as office work, even without steps, can still generate calorie readings based on movement. The amount of calories depends on both the intensity and duration of the activity.
Note:
On models like the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 and earlier, calories are only calculated when step count or heart rate data is available.
2. Active calories (workout calories): These are calories recorded during manually initiated workouts and are mainly affected by heart rate and your profile (e.g., age, weight, height). The higher the heart rate and the longer the workout duration, the more calories are burned.
If you find your calorie data abnormal, please first check if your weight, height, and age are correctly set in the Mi Fitness APP. If the information is accurate and issues persist, you can submit feedback for further data analysis.
18. Q: Why does the screen of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 become unresponsive?
A: If the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 becomes unresponsive when waking during a workout after the Always-on display is enabled, please refer to the following information:
When the Always-on display is enabled on the band ([Settings] >> [Display] >> [Always-on display]) and the [Raise to wake] feature is turned off, the screen will dim after the set screen-off time during a workout. At this point, raising your wrist will slightly brighten the screen, but it will still remain in Always-on display mode. In this mode, touch gestures like swiping are disabled. To interact with the screen, you need to tap it once to exit the Always-on display mode, after which sliding and other operations will become responsive.
19. Q: Why doesn’t the step count increase when taking a few light steps with the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: To avoid mistakenly increasing the step count due to light wrist movements, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 uses an optimized algorithm that filters out false steps. Only when continuous and clear walking activity is detected will the step count increase. Therefore, if you only take a few steps or simply move your wrist, the step count can not change. We recommend walking more steps continuously before checking the step count. Meanwhile, we are continually optimizing the step-counting algorithm to further improve your using experience.
20. Q: Why are the number of laps and swimming distances recorded inaccurately on the Xiaomi Smart Band 10?
A: The swimming function requires correct pool length settings to generate accurate workout reports.
If the lap count or distance appears inaccurate in your swimming report, please adjust the pool length setting as follows to improve accuracy:
1. On the band, go to the APP list >> [Workout] >> [Pool swimming] >> tap the settings icon >> [Pool length] >> select the correct pool length;
2. Alternatively, go to the APP list >> [Workout] >> [Pool swimming] >> select the correct pool length before starting the workout.
21. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 record a high number of steps without any actual walking?
A: The Mi Fitness APP supports multi-device data merging. If multiple devices (including phones connected to the band, phones logged into the same Xiaomi Account, or multiple bands and watches linked to the same account) are used under one Xiaomi Account, the step count and calorie data will be combined.
If multiple people use the same Xiaomi Account, step count and calorie data can appear significantly higher than actual. To ensure accuracy, it’s recommended to use one Xiaomi Account per person and avoid account sharing.
22. Q: Why does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 show locating for a long time when using workout mode without a phone nearby?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 does not have an independent GPS module. When used without a phone nearby, it will continuously display Locating, which is normal.
If you prefer to exercise without your phone, you can choose to start the workout immediately. However, please note that this can result in significant inaccuracies in your workout data such as route, distance, and pace.
For accurate workout tracking, please use the band in conjunction with your phone, ensure that your phone’s location services are enabled, and confirm that the Mi Fitness APP has been granted location access.
