  • Download and add Workout Examples from Hiitmi.com

    First download the workout you want by clicking on the respective link.

    There are two options to Import a timer:

    1. Import file with the Hiitmi app (From Version 1.2.3)
      – Open main screen and klick on the plus sign in the right bottom corner.
      – Klick on Import file

    The Hiitmi Workout files (generated by the website as well as by the “share” function in the app) have a .hiitmi extension and normally the first time you open them you should be asked which app you want to use => in this case Hiitmi.

    Of course it is possible that another setting is already set and another app is defined as default program. If this is the case.
    Go to Settings => Apps => Other app (wrong app) => Under the heading App Settings you will find “Set as default” => Delete default values. These settings may vary depending on the smartphone manufacturer and system.

  • Hidden Features

    Accessing the settings from the Workout (Available from version 1.1.0 or 1.1.24-beta)
    – Press and hold the sound mode button during the workout to open the settings and return to the workout.

  • Apps running in background being killed by OnePlus power manager

    On OnePlus phones, Hiitmi may not be able to run in the background (or when you turn your phone screen off). OnePlus with its OxygenOS has a very aggressive power manager that kills most apps that are running in the background. You can whitelist Hiitmi to make it run in the background, as described here:

  • Big screen, big sound: maximize Hiitmi at home or in your gymclub (Tricks and tips)

    Hiitmi on a 55″ LG Smart TV (USB-C to HDMI Adapter on a Samsung Galaxy S9)

    You can mirror your phone’s screen to your TV via cable or WIFI:

    1. Cable connection USB-C/Micro-USB to HDMI
      If you our phone supports HDMI-Alt-Mode (https://www.hdmi.org/spec/typec ) for USB-C, you can use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter/cable to use your TV/Monitor/Beamer as big training screens, especially for group training.

      Alternatively some phones/tablets with Micro-USB support “Mobile High Definition Link” & “SlimPort”.

    2. Wireless connection Chromecast/Miracast or other screenshare features
      Most smart TVs already support miracast (https://airtame.com/screen-mirroring/) or similar technologies (Smart view…), system functions and apps.
      Alternatively you can use HDMI sticks like the Google Chromcast (https://www.androidcentral.com/how-mirror-your-android-screen-chromecast), Amazon Fire Stick (https://www.guidingtech.com/mirror-android-fire-tv-stick/) or any other supported screen mirror sticks.

    Check the specification of your phone on the manufacturer websites before you order adapters to avoid any incompatibility!

    Sound/Audio
    Most of these connections also send the audio signal to the TV. If you have sound system connected to your TV, you can run your Hiitmi-sounds and trainings music on your sound system.

  • Huawei power manager kills apps running in background and blocks notifications

    Configure power manager
    On Huawei phones, Hiitmi (as well as other apps) may not be able to run in the background (or when you turn your phone screen off). Huawei has an energy manager app called PowerGenie that kills most apps that are running in the background. You can whitelist Hiitmi in PowerGenie to make it run in the background.

    1. Go to:
      Settings > Battery > App launch -> Select Hiitmi

    Allow notifications
    If you don’t see any notification of the app like in the picture, it may be because Huawei requires you to explicitly enable notifications first in order to display them. A notification is needed to allow the Hiitmi to run when the screen is turned off. If not, you can try the following two ways to activate the notifications of Hiitmi:

    1. Go to:
      Settings > Notification > Select Hiitmi
    • Turn on Allow notifications
    • Turn on Display in status bar
    • Turn on Lock screen notifications

    2) Go to: Settings > Apps and Notifications > Select Hiitmi

    • Tap Settings at the bottom of the screen
    • Select Special access
    • Select Ignore optimisations
    • Change the drop down at the top of the screen to All apps
    • Select Hiitmi from the list and tap on Allow
    • Settings
    • Special Acces
    • Ignore Optimisations
    • Allow Hiitmi
