To disconnect the Mi Band 3 and 4 from the phone, open the Mi Fit app and tap the Profile tab at the bottom. Click your band.
Scroll down and tap Unpair.
Note: To unpair when the phone is not available, use the Factory Reset option inside the Mi Band.
What happens when you factory reset and unpair your band
Factory resetting the strap will erase any customizations that have been made from the strap. However, if you make any changes from the app, those changes will stay.
When it comes to data like step count, sleep tracker, etc., it won’t reset. If you sign in with the same account that was used to sync your data, that account will be restored as soon as you sign in again. However, only data that was synced before the reset will restore.
Can’t reset your band
If your strap is stuck and you can’t use the Factory Reset option, you should let your strap discharge its battery completely. Then charge it. Hopefully, the band won’t get stuck.

Pairing problem after reset
When you use Factory reset on your bracelet, the device may get stuck on Pairing first or Connecting to apps to update. Do not worry.
Here are some solutions to fix the problem:
1. Restart the phone
Try restarting the phone with which you are trying to pair the band.
2. Unpair from the app
If you cannot pair the bracelet after the reset and you only see Connect on the app, then unpair the bracelet from the Mi Fit app, as shown above.
3. Charge your strap
Your band needs to be fully charged to pair with your band. So charge it first.
4. Forget Mi Band from Bluetooth Settings
For that, open the Bluetooth settings on your phone. Unpair or forget the device there. Then pair it from the Mi Fit app.
5. Clear the cache and data of the Mi Fit app
You should also try clearing the cache and data of the Mi Fit app on Android. To do that, open Settings on your Android phone and go to Apps. Under All apps, look for the Mi Fit app. Tap Archive. Then tap on Clear cache and Clear memory/data. Restart your phone.
Open the Mi Fit app. You will have to log in again. Then pair the band.
6. Update Mi Fit App
Sometimes, an error in the application is also the cause of the problem. So try updating the Mi Fit app. Learn how to tell if apps need updating on Android and iPhone.
7. Connect using a third-party app
If the Mi Fit app cannot pair with your Mi Band, you should resort to the help of third-party apps like the Notify and Fitness or Mi Band Master apps. Use these apps to pair your Mi Band with your phone.
Change is good
Resetting older versions of the Mi Band, such as the Mi Band 2, is a troublesome task. Fortunately, things have changed in the future generation of Mi Bands. Mi Band 4 even adds the option to restart your band. Let’s wait and see what Mi Band 5 has in store.
