Hello happy Fitbit People!
So, a common problem people have is that they dont want to keep their fitbit on an all day sync schedule and drain the battery that much faster. I also wanted to automate the advantages of the Fitbit to do certain things based on a certain time.
You can do this NOW! You dont have to wait for Fitbit to hear your cries for an independent sync schedule.
You will need the following...
1. Phone (duh) - rooted helps (a lot) but not a complete deal breaker
2. Install and Load Macrodroid

3. Configure Macrodroid as noted. I have attached an image of how I have mine set up......
4. Install IFTTT and send an alert when I have enough sleep logged.

5. Profit!!!
Turn off 'all day sync' on your Fitbit app, but leave on 'always connected'.
I have it set to NOT sync until the screen turns off so I dont have the annoying Fitbit app pop up (and I HATE that Fitbit puts 'ads' in the app for whatever new device they have.. .I mean c'mon! I already have your device cuz I am using the app! Why are you pushing more ads on me!!!!)
So it back spaces twice to ensure no ads are left on the screen when I turn it back on.
Mine will sync every 2 hours or so... but only during my normal 'wake cycle'. It will also toggle the Bluetooth in case I had lost a connection during that time (like if I leave my phone home when I go to the gym). It will also note when I wake up in the morning and if it is during a weekday it will send a good morning text to all my friends that I keep in touch with. I have the voice notifications because it strangely wakes me up right before my alarm goes off and because I dig knowing it is working.... You don't have to use them.
I also use white noise apps on my devices when I sleep so this process kills all of them so that I will hear my alarm (and dont have to bother turning them all off)
I am getting 5 days or so battery life and keeping good connectivity with my Note 3 running a Nougat ROM.
**** I take no credit for the apps I am using, nor am I a developer.. I take no responsibility for any changes or loss of data or if you miss that phone call for a job interview!!! ****
Let's talk about bug's on the stock MIUI 12 Rom for the Poco F2 Pro (not xiaomi.eu).
First of all app permissions are useless. I block apps like Gearbest to not run in backgroud = I get ads from Gearbest app every day in notification center. I put VPN on autostart, run in background, keep the connection in VPN settings and disable MIUI battery safer for that VPN app = it kills the app sometimes over the day and at night it kills the app instantly after I lock the screen, every time.
WiFi 6 is broken as well. Calls over VoWiFi are broken and sometimes the speed drops down for no reason. WiFi 4 n works perfectly.
Sometimes no icon in status bar, like VPN icon when it's connected, VoLTE I never saw (but it works) and even Google calander is shown the icon in status bar but nothing in notification center (2 times for now).
Haven't noticed any issues myself.
You use VPN and got WiFi6?
Device is awake all the time.
Same, causing overnight battery drain
I lose 1% per 1h at night.
Lose 3% in 8.5 hours (overnight); 0.35% per hour.
Battery stats doesn't work properly
- Dark mode is awful in apps like messenger, messages were white with white text or animations of someone typing were not fully transparent but just white I had to enable dark mode inside app and add app to ignore list for system one.
- Always on Display. I dont understand how schedule works, I set it to 7am-11pm but AOD shows up all the time.

Stand by is fine, drops a maximum of 2-3% for me. But once we start using, miui 12 have terrible battery optimization
for me seems like i get more battery drain, but havent checked yet, but comming from a day of downloading apps back on miui 11 and later update to miui 12 seems like my battery toke a hit..
I was thinking about making a separate "rant" thread about MIUI 12 on the F2 Pro, but since you're all here I might as well share my frustration.
Coming from years of both Samsung One UI and Stock android, I have one big and two small issues with MIUI 12.
Every other android vendor on the planet (probably) has 4 sound modes: Ring, Vibrate and Silent and DND. You would think that there is no need to change that, but Xiaomi apparently had a different opinion.
- Okay, ring works as expected, but the only time my phone is on Ring is when it's in the setup and I can't change it to Vibrate.
- There is no actual Vibrate, there is this Silent thing, which sets the Ring volume to 0 (so.. vibrate) and offers to mute all media sounds...
- Then there is DND which mutes all notifications, doesn't offer to mute media sounds (like Samsung does), restricts visual popups for notification but doesn't stop the screen from lighting up when you get a notification and the phone is locked like WHAT?! I'm out here trying to sleep and this huge 6.7" screen is lighting up like it's a flashlight?
EDIT: they fixed it ?
Speaking of flashlight, and I know this isn't a grand issue, if you're using the new Control Center, you can rearrange the quick tiles at the bottom, but not the 4 at the top. Why? I would love to be able to switch the Mobile Data and WiFi but no.
I love this phone and it's battery. Easily lasts 2 days. But whose idea was it that the battery stats will show only the last 24 hours instead of since last full charge, like everyone else? ?*
12.0.2.0 fix almost nothing.

Pretty much this. Checking using AccuBattery, the device only entered deep sleep for 5 min for the whole day. Thinking rooting the phone to force device enter doze.
12.0.2.0 and I can forget about audio over bluetooth... this is so disgusting, never seen such a bugged phone.
I'm using the POCO F2 Pro Global Version with the MIUI 12 and I have this issue with Twitter.
Push Notifications are enabled in the app, and when I received the number 9 Notification, the new coming Notification will erased the last one.
It limits to 9 Notifications only.
Any solution please?

That's odd I don't have issues with Bluetooth audio on qc35 and wf-1000xm3 and envaya mini haven't noticed any issues.
There are other bugs like video tools styles being blank etc crushed colours on lockscren probably others but I haven't noticed any Bluetooth issues
The update I presume was mainly a security update.

I had no problems, now I can forget to listen music over bluetooth. I try to connect the same TWS with my Mate 20X and no issues, connect again with Poco F2 Pro and same problems. Also reboot the device and pair it again.
Security update is about 80MB, not 400MB. They change also the VoWiFi logo but VoLTE still not fixed (don't show the icon).

What issues are you having with connecting or pairing or looking for headsets or dropped connections when streaming?
Also I've said it's mainly a security update given they've jumped a bit from the initial preparations of miui 12 also some apps got updated along the way.
Can't check VoLTE as my operator doesn't support it.

Hey, guys does anyone else have this problem, my Fossil Sport wont show notifications that I recive on my phone, I have tried setting WearOS app so that MIUI doesn't stop it because of Battery management and my notifications are all set to show ?
I have been using Poco X3 NFC for a week and had been facing the issue of notifications although my Galaxy Active 2 was connected with the bluetooth.
I tried a lot of methods and it seems that the issue has been fixed from last 3 days.
1 - Please switch off battery optimization for all the apps related to your watch and the xiaomi frameworks (you have to do this everytime you restart your phone as the battery optimization automatically changes its settings upon restart)
2- Switch on all the notifications for all the apps for all the times
3- Allow all permissions to the wearable related apps
4- (Most important step which I believe is the key) Go to Settings, write Access Notifications. You will see Wearable and Xiaomi Framework sort of thing. Please allow these both. Once you will allow these both options, hopefully the notifications will start to show. If the notifications switch off, then please deactivate this option and reactive it along with the wearable's own application notification settings (put off and then on)
Mid range phones are interesting buy but they are full of bugs. I have recently shifted to Poco X3 NFC from Note 8.
thanks, hope it works.
just bought POCO X3 NFC I had noticed problems with notifications and therefore I had deactivated energy saving on wearos and nova launcher apps, giving them administration rights. now it is something like 10 days that I can no longer receive notifications on my huawei watch 2 smartwatch and my favourite launcher (Nova).
I reset my watch to factory values and it worked for just over a day, after which it went silent again, it no longer displays my notifications.
Now I will follow your advice, actually the framework did not have access to notifications. we hope well
Is there a way to fix issue with late push notifications from gmail? When phone is unlocked they are immediate, like on my iphone device, but locked it sometimes takes several minutes to come. I disabled all energy saving modes, no deep sleep apps etc. Already on Android 11
You could put gmail into "never sleeping app" under settings... it will always be running in the background... I am not sure how it might affect the battery life... you could check and report...
Is anyone facing an issue with delayed notifications on S22 Ultra? Everything except Messenger, Skype, Whatsapp, SMS, and calls comes delayed. I still have my old iPhone 11 Pro Max on the table and it receives Gmail, Etsy, Outlook, Mi Home, Ebay notifications instantly while S22 Ultra delays them for 5-30 minutes or while I unlock the phone. Every possible power-saving feature is turned off, including an adaptive battery, put unused apps to sleep, and apps, where I need instant notifications, are set to an unlimited battery. It seems that manually disabling Android Doze through ADB helps, but only partially. Mi Home notifications are still delayed. Also it kills Accubattery multiple times per day, I don't restart device or manually quit Accubattery, but every day is split into multiple segments.
I truly can't believe this is considered normal for the expensive flagship... Exynos 12/256
same with me....
There are a few long threads on this issue over on another forum. It seems to be Android related, not the phone. And there are several suggestions to fix depending on the cause. Here is a Google search result with a lot of information.
