[Dadkill]

You had the problem with older Firmware or only with this version ?

Only with this version. I use your firmwares since the firmware 1.3.0.0 and it's the first time i have this kind of issue.

Maybe it's Official bug, I verified the firmware and all is good.

Hello:
Today he received MI BAND 3 NFC in Chinese and after several tests he managed to put it in Spanish with the version (1.6.0.10).

In summary:
.- First, V.46 Resources (Mili_chongqing.res) were installed
.- Then the English version (Mili_chongqing_EN_D.fw)
.- Finally the (Mili_chongqing_SP_D.fw), all this avoiding the screen of my phone in a Huawei P9 Lite darken.
Regards

That depend of your smartphone language. If with _M version you have DD/MM, with _D version you will have MM/DD.

that was the trick. i noticed another thing. the forecast information changes back to chinese after a few minutes later. is it a bug or an incorrect/untranslated string in the firmware?

I don't have the Mi Band 3 NFC, so I can't help you for that.

I updated here a Mi Band 3 NFC first using the official MiFit app to the official firmware 1.6.10. This brought me the Chinese version even though I had a German (Android) localization and Mi Fit run was German. Then I used gadgetbridge to flash the German localized version Mili_chongqing_DE_D.fw as described above (using an Android Nexus 5x phone, running Android 8). Everything worked well as described in the howto

Many thanks again!

PS: Quick Question: Does anybody know anything about the NFC function?

 

[neycho]

hi @rdorsch i have read that people has successfully used the nfc function (for access cards) after changing region of their phones to China, as nfc function was intended to be used in China specifically and no other else.

My smartphone finds the NFC function. NFC tools reports that it is a NXP Mifare Plus Tag (ISO 14443-4)

A write test to the tag did not work. Though I never used Mifare Plus tags before, so it could be easily my fault. I need to play somewhat more with this..

Access control just based on the serial number would be a weak protection only.

I also read somewhere before that the phone needs to be changed to China, but I do not even know where to configure a region in Android. I configured the language to German and the location it determines itself...

that's offtopic but pretty interesting thing. but i guess it's depends on GPS since only chinese applications supports it yet.

I did firmware, resource but Can't do font,
Is can be done jusg like firmware or resource by using notify?

It's happening to me, either.
I can apply English font with GadgetBridge, but not .kj fonts. I tried changing *.kj with *.ft (by simply erasing *.kj), but no use.
