Bluetooth - Smart Unlock - Mi Band 2 [SOLVED] - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

FOUND A SOLUTION!!!
So to summarize, my Huawei Mate 9 couldn't find my smartband Xiaomi Mi Band 2 under BT settings, for the purpose of using the band as a Smart Unlock device. After trying many things I found a solution that worked for me!! Try to follow these steps hopefully they help you to connect your Mi Band 2 with your Mate 9 too!
My starting point was band normally connected to my phone via Mi Band Master app, but undiscoverable under BT settings. This is what I did to fix it:
Turn BT OFF, Turn WIFI OFF.
Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> More -> Show system proccesses and find Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth MIDI Service apps
Force stop and Storage -> Clear Data on both
Turn BT ON (keep WIFI OFF!!) and search for devices... if you're lucky Mi Band 2 will now show up!!! Try to connect. My first attempt failed, so next:
Turn BT OFF. Turn it back ON after few seconds
Open BLE Scanner app. When it finds the band, connect. When connected quickly:
Open BT settings again, search devices, when finds Mi Band 2, quickly connect and... BOOM!!
With some luck you should now be able to set Mi Band 2 as Smart Unlock device under Settings -> Screen lock & passwords -> Smart Unlock
Hope this helps, it helped me!
This is the original post I made:
Hello, I'm having trouble with my Mate 9 Bluetooth.
First of all, Bluetooth works, and my smartband Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is connected to my Mate 9 and it works fine.
However my problem is, I can't use the band for Smart Unlock feature, which worked perfectly on my previous phone (Huawei Nexus 6P).
The problem is, phone's bluetooth cant find the band. The band is connected and working via an app (Mi Band Master) and I can also without problems find it in BLE Scanner and connect to it... BUT, via normal phone bluetooth search screen, it doesnt find it. I enabled "Band is visible to other devices" in the app - which is something similar as "make device discoverable to BT devices" for devices using LE bluetooth.
My previous phone Huawei Nexus 6P had no problem finding the band in regukar BT settings search, and connecting to it, which is a pre-requisite for Smart Unlock.
Any ideas, what I can try, or someone with Mate 9 and Mi Band 2 that has successfully enabled Smart Unlock? I tried the usual resets, clearing cache (BT), enable/disable BT, reinstalling apps etc...

I have the same problem.

There is an alternative, Maybe this works https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/6093922?hl=en
My device: Mate 9 supersu B190 Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)

@audioralf: thanks for that but still, the result is the same: phone doesnt find the band under bt settings

I use a garmin smartwatch and it requires a special app to initiate the correct bt connection. Then it requires 5 number code to connect. Can you set the band visible manually?

It's not like that with this band. I can say how it was on previous phone, Huawei Nexus 6P: band was visible normally under bt settings, and could be paired/connected easily - no PIN or anything required. After that, it was available in Smart Unlock and worked great. But now on Mate 9, while the band is connected to phone via BT, it's not done in the regular BT settings but over an app that works with this band. In my case this is te Mi Band Master app, but there are other apps for this band - Mi Fit, Notify & Fitness, Mi Band Tools etc... The problem is that band is not visible under regular phone BT settings. Mate 9 doesn't find it. You can set the band "visible to other devices" on/off via the app, I tried both but no difference. Maybe default BT settings on Mate 9 only search "regular" BT devices, and not BT LE (low energy) devices?

WOW I just solved this issue! Updating first post with my solution!!

Thanks mate, your solution works!
Now another nag: if I lock the phone with Nova action it asks the PIN to unlock, even if the band is connected. This happens only with Nova lock, while using the power button make the unlock work seamlessly.
Any advice on how to quickly lock the device without having to input PIN to unlock?
Edit: nevermind, found a solution already. In Nova settings set the double-tap action to Activity > Screen lock.

Hi, anyone can advice how to pair mate10 pro with mi band 2? I can pair it, just for incoming call notification, it was not shown in my mi band. How to resolve it? Anyone know?

Huawei U8860 Bluetooth functions missing- any ideas?

HI,
I hope this is the right forum for this.
I recently purchased a new Huawei Honor U8860 phone which updated to the latest firmware version provided by Huawei (4.0.3) during the setup.
When I tried to connect it by bluetooth to my cars communication system (BMW) it connected OK, but some of the functionality that I used to have with my old Nokia N97 was missing - specifically it was unable to read SMS or emails via the bluetooth.
When I went into the advanced bluetooth settings (Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Bluetooth settings -> Advanced Settings ) there was no SMS, Message or Email options (only OPP (Object Push), PBAP (Phonebook Access) and Test Mode).
When I spoke with a friend who has the same phone he said that it used to be able to read messages via his cars bluetooth, but not since the firmware upgrade.
I've contacted Huawei but they are very poor at responding.
Does anybody know how I ccan resolve this issue? Is there an alternative ROM that I can use that will keep the functionality I have but add in the SMS/email over bluetooth functionality.
Many thanks for your help

You may try to install the BT app for Huawei U8860. Since, I may infer that you are onto ICS 4.0.3 so you might get that app easily for Huawei.

Switch screenlock to swipe when connected to home network

Hey guys, I wanted to set my honor 8 to automatically switch the screen lock option from pin to swipe when I'm connected to my home WiFi network, but it I can't seem to find such an option.
There isn't one as far as I know.
Very strange... It is a native Android option that I used to use on my Nexus 4 with Android 5.0

Alternatively you may try to set your phone to Smart Unlock with your home's bluetooth device or a bluetooth wristband
I did try in my car. It doesn't work ... it still asks me for my pin to unlock...

maybe possible with Tasker or some similar app.
But not sure, you have to try

Well, if you haven't already done this, please try:
Settings > Advance settings > Security > Trusted agent > switch on Smart Unlock
Settings > Screen lock & password > Smart Unlock > enable your Bluetooth device
It may or may not work with all Bluetooth devices....but my H8 is working fine with my Ford Sync.
Smart Unlock works fine for me on Bluetooth.
I use Tasker though for more advanced options, such as turning off Wi-Fi and setting my screen timeout to maximum when I connect to my car. You could do just about anything you want via Tasker.

Problems with 3G Sticks

hi,
im using erisin 4046 MTCD KGL with 5.1.1
every Stick i tried (huaweis Exxx) wont work out of box.
Sometimes the Stick works on 50% bootups
and sometypes loses the internet connection while am driving trough a good connection area.
Im already using an active USB-Hub with external power from radio ACC and GND, so thaths couldnt be the problem?
Also interesting: Some Sticks appears as 3G Bar-Icon like Wlan and some two-pc-icon.
Is there a way to reset the Stick trough app/terminal?
I cant disconnect the stick while drive because its included behind the radio.
Sticks with sd slot are shown as a drive and did not work for me.
Without I got the same problems. Huawei offers an app. So you can reboot via this.
At the moment using a mobile Wlan hot-spot from Huawei. Works much better.
Getapped and getalked with 6603

servus
none of the sticks were shown as SD-Slots.
What you mean with app for reboot? Reboot entire device or simply the stick?
Could you show/explain me the wlan hotspot you mean?
This stick did not work correctly = Huawei E355.
This hot-spot works good = Huawei E5330.
This app controls both = Huawei hikink. See play store.
Getapped and getalked with 6603
so this means:
if i have a LTE Card, i could also use a 4G hotspot?
but i have no idea which is supported..
okay easy:
Huawei e5577 is that what i want LTE
I am using a Huawei E1750 with deactivated CD Drive and SD Slot and it works like a charm!
Use this AT command: AT^U2DIAG=0
(further info: http://www.3g-modem-wiki.com/page/Huawei+AT-commands)
how to set these commands?
trough terminal?
Hello,
I tested a few modems and every time there were problems on the route. Modems often lost their reach and did not connect again. You had to disconnect and reconnect it. On the 650 km route the internet was maybe 20% off the route.
I am fully satisfied only after the purchase of Huawei E5573. Connected via USB is turned on only when the radio is turned on. When turned off the radio turns itself off after one hour. The Internet transmits to the radio via USB. Of course WIFI works for other devices. The same way as with previous modems - 90% of connections. All the way 650 km I listened to TuneIn Radio. It broke 4 times in total.
Summarizing:
- KIANO Q7600 - Only 3G, often lost their reach
- Huawei E173u-2 - Only 3G, often lost their reach
- Huawei E3131 - Only 3G, often lost their reach
Huawei E5573 - LTE/3G/2G - Very good reach.
The HUAWEI E3372 LTE Surfstick is also working perfect. It's not showing if you have a 3G or 4G Connection in the Status Bar, just the Network Symbol. Important, you have to disable PIN Authentification for the SIM Card first in the HUAWEI Software or it does not work with your Unit. Typing 192.168.8.1 in your Unit Webbrowser, you can access the Stick Webinterface where you can check the Connection and so on.
thats realy annoying...
i modded two huawei sticks E173 and E303 including modem firmware update with the command AT^U2DIAG=0
but still connection/mini icon loss
i realy think about E5577 wlan hotspot solution...
Hi, many LTE units appear as network cards to android, thus you see a two computers icon in the starus bar instead of a radio signal icon.
When you use these LTE sticks, you are unable to use wifi for two reasons: first because the radio is unable to connect to any hotspot (I don't know why) and second because ever a wired network is preferred over a wifi network. This is sometimes a problem just because LTE is not a wited connection, but android thinks so, and you cannot use wifi anymore...
UPDATE: I've noticed that on the new android version of my Erisin HU 20161220, is possible to use wifi while LTE stick is connected, and android prefers wifi over LTE.

I have the exakt same issues. We should collect logs and send them to the support.
im already in touch with erisin support, they mean all sticks are bad... (haha) only official erisin sticks are supported.
When im thinking about their official DAB+ antenna which isnt working... haha bad news for all erisin devices
My best practice way is actually:
-active USB-Hub with external 12v power
-usb cable extender away from any radio/magnet field/heat (on bmw e46, behind the speedometer) and then plugged in huawei E173 with newest firmware (appears as 3G icon)
we should donate to @Malaysk for a good rom for RK3288 / PX5 unites.

Hi buddy,
Some questions for you as I am thinking about buying the same router.
Does it turn on when you start your car?
Does it work without battery?
Does it kind of go to sleep when you are not using it?
I'm on E3131 with firmware from Hilink version, works really good but it's bit slow cause it's only 3G and I miss WiFi that I could you use to mirror my iOS device.
I also have E5251 but it sometimes need to be reset for the wifi to work (even if it's connected via USB)

I just ordered an Huawei E5573. Attaching just a "modem stick" really sucked.
Did you manage to operate the router without the battery, just powered by USB? It does not start when I remove the battery....

wireless display mi mix 3 after miui 11

hello, I followed your instructions ( Post of OEL
"But there is a solution.
Go to developer options and enable wireless display certification.
Than go to "connection and sharing"/"wireless display and enable wireless display.
Now you see some stuff. Go to "operating channel" And change from auto to 6 or 11.
Now connect your tv." )
And I so i managed to connect my mi mix 3 in wireless display to my samsung smart tv and now finally works.
Thank you for this.
However When I then restart or turn on the smartphone, I activate the wireless display, and I have to set operating channel 11 again, otherwise it won't work. Why is channel 11 not stored?
second problem. the home modem is dual band. Samsung smart TVs connect to both networks. But my mi mix 3, connects in wireless display only if the TV is connected to the 2.4 ghz wifi network. If I connect the TV to 5.0 Ghz, the phone does not detect any Samsung smart TV. Please can you help me. I would prefer to use 5.0 in wireless display. Thanks
My phone mi mix 3 have miui globall stabile 11.0.40

Problem with Sonos Roam? Can't wake it up from sleepmode

Hi, everyone!
I bought a Sonos Roam. Normally, you should be able to get the Sonos Roam out of standby mode by opening the app. I can also do this on a laptop, on a Samsung smartphone - but I can't do it on the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro. Bluetooth AND GPS must be switched on in parallel for it to work. Although only WLAN should be required for this (as on Laptop & Samsung Smartphone). Are there any settings that I don't know that cut the WLAN and are canceled when Bluetooth / GPS is activated ???
I tried every setting i could find and cant get it to work...
Many Thanks
