Tutorial Quick and dirty mi band 4 hebrew support

[roigreenberg]

Alert Bridge or GB never worked well with MB3, I gave them both many attempts, seriously doubt something has changed since then.
There are no "Hebrew fonts", there's only the modded "International Mi Fit" Kirill published which updates the MB4 font so it does able to show Hebrew characters (LtR) when you change the band's language in N&F to Spanish or French etc - then ofcourse this changes the menus on the MB to the selected language..which is makes this a poor workaround all together.
also, there's no need to buy N&F anymore as in recent versions it supports free usage while adding adds at the bottom of the app , so all the "pro" features such as notifications text are available for free. its RTL support does work but poorly as every word shows in its own line

I didn't know N&F is free now..
I have the Bip watch, and my brother jsve the band 3,both of us using Alert Bridge with no issues..

As for the lining issue you mentioned, you can control the max line length, so you can get more than 1 word, at least some times. but since the screen is small, it hard to put 2 words in a line.

Try to set the line length to 10 or even 11..

the lining issue is with N&F RTL supprot. GB or Alert Bridge don't work well (or at all) with Mi Bands when it comes to showing notifications in a reliable manner - simply put - they don't keep stable bt connection to the band

I know.
I'm the one who wrote this feature ?
It the same one on the other apps.
Confige it to the optimal length for the band..

Since the notification in my watch are always silent (DND) I sometimes forget about the connectivity issues. Ineeded from time to time after several hours I needed to stop and start the Bluetooth..

It works. Thank you. But is it possible to set the language to English and still get notifications in Hebrew?

 

[Aliminator]

yea..great "guide". after changing the language to Spanish in N&F , your band's menus will be shown in..Spanish.
don't waste your time people

Its a best solution for now. Do you have another one?

 

[tomerr]

there is no "solution". this is a workaround and quite a bad one, as besides the MB menus shown in foreign language, N&F RTL support is not so good - each word is shown in a separate line .
There's not going to be a "good solution" as there weren't one with MB3. It's time to realize Huami are not going to support Hebrew .
I just ordered Honor band 5 which suppose to come with native Hebrew support "out of the box" for day to day usage.

 

[tomerr]

just got the Honor Band 5 and it is fabulous -
perfect Hebrew support in all notifications including call ID, no adds in app, no need to sign in as all data is saved locally on your phone, and it doesn't pop out of the charger like the MB4 charger

Tomerr
I am happy for you
But this is mi band 4 post
If you have some things that can benefit us all will be happy
If not stop spamming
P.s
After the huge back door problem from huawei
I will stay with xiaomi
It's more safe

 

[tomerr]

yea, first fix all the mistakes in your first post before calling me a spammer. also, as i mentioned above, the Honor band is actually better privacy wise as it's not connecting to any server to send your health data, unlike the Mi Bands

 

[Aliminator]

I have contacted the support of Xiaomi in Israel. They said that Mi band 4 will get Hebrew support in near future.

[Arielmor]

Any newsuggestion???

 

[almog18]

Is it possible to put pressure on Xiaomi to support Hebrew?

 

[Roei007]

Hello friend. You may know, by chance, why the Hebrew reporter listed me upside down. Do you have a solution for that? Of course, I purchased the full version today!

Thank you for this guide!!!

 

[hello897]

I did all the steps and it's work, but it reversed. Any ideas how to fix it?

 

[roigreenberg]

Unless there is a new way that I'm not aware of, you need to use a second app, Gadgetbridge, Alertbridge or Notify and Fitness. The later(N&F) the better..
