Hi,
I got my new smartband, Garmin vivofit and installed Garmin Connect
I signed in to my account, and try to pair back my Vivofit to my phone. The phone can find my vivofit via bluetooth and show the number that displayed on my vivofit's screen. But, it cannot pair when it comes to connecting to the device. It showed a red frown smiley. I tried and tried, it still cannot pair with my phone. What's wrong with it? Is there any alternative app to Garmin Connect, which can be used with Vivofit?
I tried my smartband on two other phones - Honor 4C and Xiaomi Mi4 and it worked properly.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: My phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime
Same on vivosmart
Reinstall Garmin Connect App

Make sure that wifi, aeroplane mode should be off in your phone while connecting your watch with phone. Because if anything from this is on then it act as interrupt in connection b/w both devices. If these are already off and delete the Garmin Connect app from your phone and reinstall it start connecting again. Still face any issue then check Garmin Vivofit Manual- guideusermanual.com/product-name-vivofit-manual&po=503479&lang=English for troubleshooting.

I have the Gear S and the Note 4 (both through T-Mobile). I have noticed that when I move out of bluetooth range of my phone, the watch connects remotely so that I can take calls on the watch, but when I come back within bluetooth range of the phone the watch will not automatically reconnect via bluetooth. It remains connected remotely (even when the phone and the watch are sitting right next to one another). Am I doing something wrong, or am I just going to have to reestablish the bluetooth connection manually?

It not gonna reconnect right away. Blue tooth would have to be scanning non stop. Then people will complain about battery dying fast. Also it takes about 10 min for it to search and connect depending on your phone.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
Thanks a lot. That explanation actually makes a lot of sense.
That's not quite how Bluetooth works, however this fix for this issue is straight forward.
Un install Samsung Gear from your phone. Reset your Gear S, install Samsung Gear, reconnect phone and restore data.
Bluetooth should re connect within seconds after you walk away from your phone.
This broke because of an issue in an update patch to the Samsung Gear software. The patch does not upgrade the software properly, and a re installation is required.
I had the same issue with my Note Edge and Gear S.
Fixed now though.
I had the same issue and re installed yesterday and it connected. What I found to be annoying was I had to completely delete Samsung app store from note or I couldn't install apps from Sammy. It would download then during install process it would fail with error code -112 . It may have something to do with when I fix permission in recovery but it only started doing that after latest update. It's annoying but I guess the temp solution is easy to fix
I have similar problem with bluetooth. When I turn off bluetooth and then turning on the Gear won't to connect. On the phone request pair code for bluetooth appears, but on Gear appears: GT-I9301I is attepting to connect to your Gear. To connect to GT-I9301I, the gear will be reset to its factory settings..When the device is reset, it connect properly and everything work fine until I turn bluetooth off. Then again want to reset the device. My Gear is SM-R750A and phone is GT-I9301I. I try to re-install Gear Manager, reset phone, reset Gear, but still have tis problem.

I have made a thread describing how to fix this....In a nut shell you need to completely uninstall gear mgr and galaxy apps and delete the apps in gear manager under the manage apps then click all which is beside the updates tab. Also uninstall all updates to galaxy apps. This will fix issue. here is the xda thread link. Follow it to a t and you will be good l. Let me know your outcome.

I try this, but didn't work. I think the problem is Bluetooth of the phone, becouse I paired Gear S with two different phone and work fine. Also when I try to pair phone with bluetooth in car it appears same problem - connect only first time. Is there any way to re-install the Bluetooth or to change driver or something like that.
Try deleting data in app manager for anything bluetooth related. Factory reset phone if that doesn't work. If you are on a custom rom reinstall rom and see if that helps, research if a different kernel works better. Good luck
Turn off "Use Remote Connection" in the Gear S app settings on your phone. Problem solved
Actually, ignore my previous response, that did not solve the issue.
What did, however, was unpairing then reparing the Gear S to my phone. No problems since

I had the same issue and used the suggestion above and it didn't work.
I uninstalled on the device, reset gear, then reinstalled on device and reconnected...bluetooth did connect. I walked away came back and the gear didn't reconnect automatically. I had to reconnect from the phone side. THIS SUCKS!!!
Anyone have any other suggestions? i have gear s and NOTE 3 (android 5.0)

Had same issue with my Note 3. I was on some modified ROM and it was cousing all the trouble. Switched to this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920 and everything works like charm. Alllso love the ROM. :good:
Note 5 and Gear S not reconnecting automatically
My New Note 5 has the same problem, not reconnecting after phone and watch are back together. I have to manually flip on phone use in bluetooth settings. This is still after factory resetting phone and watch. Is there any updated fixes

Hello there just bought an Amazfit 2 Stratos went home to pair it with my S8 Galaxy and i scanned the QR code everything was fine my phone recognized it but the watch showed me the QR again i tried 3-4 times again nothing. I went to my iPhone and paired it perfectly also updated the firmware then tried to unpair it from iPhone and test it on S8 again and still nothing happened . It scans the QR code my phone recognize the watch but on the watch screen i still see the QR screen instead of choosing left or right hand.
Thanks in advance.
Hello. Check is the watch is in the phone's BT settings, if it is there then remove and try to pair again. If it's not, try pairing with WiFi off on phone.

Are you using a custom ROM, Oreo-based? Oreo may block some permissions making pairing difficult.

No im using a default one should i install a custom one if yes could you suggest me the best for S8 !
Thanks!
Sorry, I don't know any custom ROM for S8. But if the current one you have isn't 8.0+, then shouldn't be any problem pairing. My last 2 suggestions:
- Look for a Chinese version of Amazfit Watch app (current one is 2.4.0-CN, I think the one in APKMirror is the CN version), if your watch is the model A1609 it may pair only with CN Amazfit app;
- Try pairing with another phone with Android 7.1 or older, if it still doesn't pair then maybe there is a problem with the watch.

I received today my amazfit stratos (1619) and I've got exact the same problem (Samsung S8 with android 8.0.0). I think that we need to wait for the new official update which will support S8...
Just pair watch on any other phone (android 7 and below) and then log in to Amazfit App with the same account, watch should be paired. Worked for me.
Yes, this worked for some people that could not pair using Oreo:
This should work: pair the watch using your account and the other phone, then put watch in airplane mode (so it will disconnect from phone) and uninstall Amazfit app and remove watch from phone's Bluetooth settings (watch won't be unpaired, so no factory reset). Then go to your phone, make sure the watch isn't listed in Bluetooth settings, install the same app version used before, turn off airplane mode on watch and login to your account. The watch and phone should show the usual pair request with a pin code, confirm in both and they should be paired. If it doesn't happen then your phone's Bluetooth cannot see the watch for some reason... I have done this thousands times and it always worked if the phone can find the watch.

Anyone having problems with constant disconnects with android auto?
I have latest UK firmware installed along with the latest android auto and waze on my phone.
I can connect fine , sometimes I can drive 30 minutes without a disconnect, other times it is 5 minutes.
The only way I can get it working again is if I unplug the phone from the car and reconnect.
Then this happens again.
I have not made a journey yet where the phone has not disconnected at least once.
My old phone (nokia 8) never had this problem.
Im using a good quality USB cable.
Any ideas of which settings I need to change to help this issue?
Try using the phone manager app's battery settings to set Android Auto and Waze to manage manually as to me it seems that the battery management's the issue.
Sent from my Mate 20 Pro using Tapatalk
Works fine for me, using Waze/Spotify most of the time. Using default battery optimization for Android auto.
I'm using a Huawei cable.
You could try to the one coming with the phone to test.
Hi ,
Thanks for the replies.
Im using the cable that came with the phone in my car and it still has the same problem.
I changed the settings to manage manually, but again I plugged the phone in to my car and it stopped working after 5 minutes. I had to unplug and start again before the car would see the phone again.
There are 3 sets of settings in the manage manually option. did you change any of these?
Should say that im plugging into a vauxhall Astra 2017 car with the latest software installed on my car.
Thanks again for any help.
I've only had my UK Mate 20 Pro for about 3 weeks now, but I too am having issues with Android Auto. Initially I was getting disconnects, I think this was due to the handset trying to ask me how I wanted the USB connection to be treated - charge only, transfer files, MIDI device etc. It didn't seem to matter what I chose, it always flicked back to charge only. Or, it could have been down to the third party always-on-display app(s) that I was trialling and have since deleted.
The disconnects now seem to have stopped and it's more stable for me - I don't know why, it could due to the above deletions or a recent EMUI update (I'm on 9.0.0.210), or maybe Android Auto updated?
I now have different issues with AA, in that when I connect the handset and the Android Auto home screen comes up, there's no play button showing for my Audiobook app (Listen Audiobook Player), when I click into the app and click the play button it stays on 'getting your selection' forever and nothing plays. Incidentally I can start playing a book on my handset, but AA doesn't notice that anything's changed and stays on the 'getting your selection' screen.
The only way I have found to return functionality to normal is to restart the phone and enter my pass code - this takes me back to the phone desktop and a different error message which says 'android auto can't find any supported devices to use' (or something similar), when I unplug and re-plug all works as it should again - this is all a bit of a pain to do whilst driving, or requires me to park up.
Additionally I have noticed similar issues when switching audio apps i.e. to Spotify and then to an audiobook etc., It doesn't seem to go smoothly like it used to on my S8+
I'm using a 2017 Vauxhall Astra also ?
Ive sent a message to customer services to see if they can offer any help.
Dont know if we will have to wait for a firmware update to sort this out?
Same every single time. Did a 120 mile trip today and had to disconnect and reconnect 7 times

Do an factory reset and try it again. See if it works.

Hi, Can you all please share the model of your car ? Maybe the issue is also connected to the car, not only the M20Pro. Thank you.
My car is a vauxhall astra.
I know it is not the car at fault as my last phone which was a Nokia 8 running android pie worked fine without any disconnections.

Same car. Used a samsung a9 yesterday and worked flawlessly.
Done a factory reset on the mate and still ****s up. If it wasnt such a good camera I would be getting a different phone
I tried it on a Mercedes CLS, just for a short run. It worked fine. With non-official Huawei Cable. Just basic USB-C. Maybe I need to try for a long run to be sure about it.
Anyone tried it on a Volvo XC40-60-90 ?
Disconnects
Did you find a solution to this? my device also suffers from constant disconnects and sets the USB method to charge only and as soon as you change it just goes straight back. battery management is set to manual and all apps and phone are up to date. using it on a Vauxhall insignia 66 plate with OEM cable.
Hey guys,
The problem seems to be with a nearly full battery.
When the battery is >=92% the connection of AA drops very often.
Is anyone here with EMUI 10 to test if it's more stable?
EDIT: I've missed that today is the launch of the beta so forget my question.

Hi there
I am struggling to pair the Amazfit Pace with my iphone. I scan the QR Code and get an Error Message that says I need to unpair the device from bluetooth. The problem is, it's not in the bluetooth list for me to unpair it. I tried other devices including an iPhone 5... same error issue. I reset my iPhone, I removed Amazfit App from the storage of my iPhone.
What is this error? What do I need to do? Is this an Amazfit App issue?
I cannot get past the QR Code screen to see or do anything more than drive myself crazy going to the bluetooth setting to remove the device, knowing full well, it's not in the list.
any help? Or is this a junk smart watch?
The watch is new? If yes, probably you must first update the firmware using and Android phone with Android 7.1 or older, or use a Huami tool to install at lest firmware 1.3.8. If it's not brand new, probably it was paired with another account, then you must first unpair it properly from that account...
Edit: if you haven't done it yet, restarting the watch a couple of times may help too.
Hi I i have Huawei freebuds 4 and they about 1 year correctly worked with my old device S21 Ultra.
