Do advance step tracker also count movement of hand as steps?

I am not sure if my my MI Band 2 is advanced, but it does not count hand movements as Steps. Also MI Band 2 mostly does not count steps when I am travelling by bus/car/bike which was case with my Lumia mobile with steps tracker.

mi band 1S does this. Or used to do this. but only if you really shake it hard by hand

 

[Sushubh]

well of course. what i am wondering is that how a device would differentiate between movement of legs and movement of hands alone without gps. and of course... gps would not work inside home/office scenario.

 

[dextermorgan]

the algorithms used now a days are pretty good. they can differentiate between hand and leg movements easily. infact some bands can automatically sense if you are running/swimming/workout etc and automatically count the calories for that particular activities

Hmm,
I'm planning to buy either Mi Band (1st Gen) from Amazon or Lenovo HW01 Smart Band from Flipkart.
Can someone confirm rumors on store reviews & forums, that App 'n Band can't be paired for new devices, or the latest App updates brick them?
