Hello,
since i have updatet to Android Nougat 7.0 last week i am unable to start the Android Wear app. The only thing i see is the Android Wear and the Google logo.
I have a Sony Smartwatch 3 and it wouldn't be very nice if this wouldn't work any more.
Could someone try, if the App works with another Z5C on Nougat?
Best Regards
Zillinda
it works on mine, i have a moto 260 gen 2, that is on wear 1.5.
i have intermittent bluetooth problems, the phone disables bluetooth sometimes.
I also have a smartwatch 3 at home that i stopped using a while ago, if you want i can check if i can pair it with my phone.
Also, i did a clean install of 32.3.0.378 and i wiped my watch to re-pair it with my phone

I am having the same problem. Have you found a fix for it yet. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with a Huawei watch. I am just getting the Android Wear Google logo and the app won't open. With that I can't resync my apps. It just started when my phone updated to nougat

I tried to reset my phone to factory status and now the app works.. I don't know what the problem was and it was really annoying to reinstall every app but now it works.

Hi all,
Just OTA upgraded my Z5 to Nougat and it immediately stopped my Sony Smartwatch 3 connecting, have tried resetting both phone and watch, to no avail. I then tried connecting my SW3 to my wives older sony phone and it worked perfectly, is anyone else having the same problem.
I have been a very loyal Sony customer over the years, but now after promising in writing that they would upgrade the SW3 to android wear 2.0 and then going back on their word and now not being able to use it at all since their official nougat upgrade, don't think I will buying another Sony Phone or accessory ever again, they used to be brilliant, really don't know what has happened to them lately.
Many thanks for your time in this matter, I look forward to reading your comments on this matter.
Kindest Regards - Ashe.
Hi, I bought H2 SmartWatch and had some issues connecting it to my phone so I give others a tip how to avoid frustration...
The watch uses WiiWatch app to connect to your phone...
The trouble is that it won't connect until the GPS is turned on on your smartphone... That's all (but it was really difficult to find this out so I hope this will help someone )
sorry, cant help you on your query, but am thinking of getting this watch myself, can you:-
1. give an estimate of battery life just on GSM standby, i.e. with all the other radios turned of and not using for entertainment etc, also
2. where is the speaker, can't see it on any pic's i've seen
thanks
Hi, there is no need of further help for me... The GPS turned on solved the issue... To your questions... I'm only testing it for a few days but I can tell you that the battery life is short... I have no sim card inserted only the Bluetooth connection with my phone and the battery lasts only for 24 hours...
Second question... The speaker is on the left side of the watch... It looks like a card slot... The mic is on the right side by the way...
And when you are considering this watch be aware that it's not waterproof... I thought it has ip68 as there are many misleading descriptions on the web... Only the H1 is ip68 waterproof...

yeah, i've been looking at a few cheap chinese smartwatches, the specs can vary from one seller to the next and its very difficult (almost impossible) to know who actually makes them, still their cheap enough to take a punt on
what's the speaker volume like when taking a call?
I really don't know because I use it as Bluetooth connection only and that function is only available with sim...

Really the H2 is clearly the pick of the two. You do realize that customers have been complaining about the integrity of the water proofing and the H1 has been recalled and reworked at least once.. Good Luck.
Really? There is an issue with the ip68 of the H1? I got my watch delivered yesterday and tried it under water and there is no problem by now... I know that the spec's of the H1 are much lover then the ones of the H2 but I really can't see any performance difference between the two of them (just been testing it for a day). And I like the basic software of the H1 more... There are more sport options and some other little things... Can you tell me what issues should I expect with the H1?

Ok, I'm using the H1 the third day now... I had no issues with the waterproofness. The speed of the software is the same as on H2. There are more sport options, there are also more basic apps (or sensors) for example the compass, barometer, thermometer, sleep monitor. The issue I had with the H2 concerning the GPS which had to be turned on to connect to the phone is gone. The watch isn't vibrating every time I leave the room where my phone is telling me that it's disconnected which really annoyed me with the H2. The Bluetooth range is also better. And the battery life is better too. The only issue which I found by now is that the heart rate monitor is showing a lover rate when you are sweating but the H2 had the same issue.
If I encounter any issues I will report them but by now I'm glad about my choice...

Sounds good. Good to hear.
The H2 Supports true bluetooth tethering like the apple and android wear watches and does not need a sim card in watch to make and receive phone calls and text messages from watch.

Did you test it? Because when I had that watch (and it was connected to my phone) and tried to make a call it it gave me a message that the function is not available because there is no sim card inserted. And if you are wright how do you set it up to work? I don't have the H2 any more (I have the H1 now) but I could test in on both (I sold the H2 to a friend) if you tell me how...

Only works on the H2 fully tested and verified working. The H2 comes with a nice little app called "Bluetooth Calls" in the App menu. It will become more available on more phones including the H1 soon with a App that can be side loaded or loaded through an update. Only the H2 and Allcall w1 have it built in stock out of the box.

Concerning the SMS you are wright ... You can read an SMS on the watch but when receiving a call there's no option on the watch to take the call...
I have just aquired an Honor 10 and gear s3 watch. Try as I might, no amount of clearing data/cache has worked. Everything reinstalled multiple times... I have upgraded the firmware on the watch by pairing with another phone.
Basically the watch will pair with the phone, but the app/plugin crashes as soon as I accept the pairing. I think the S plugin fails to open, and the galaxy app then crashes. I'm not sure if this is better posted here or in the gear s3 forum, but to be honest this is driving me mad.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could throw any light on this!!

Don't really have experience with this myself but I heard that majority of non-samsung phones have issues with Samsung galaxy gear watches. You might consider refunding them and getting some wear OS watch instead, snapdragon 3100 for watches is launching soon and it'll be better anyway.
Gearbest is selling the GTR international version that supports English. I'm in the US and I was wondering if I buy the international version now, will it be 100% the same as the US version of the GTR when available?
Another question. Is a phone with bluetooth 4.2 compatible with the new Amazfit GTR bluetooth 5.0?
Usually there are only two versions :Chinese and International, there was never an US only version of BIP, Pace, Stratos or Verge...

This is text from Xiaomi Today: "Being the smartwatch, the Amazfit GTR concludes multiple connectivity options for better performance. It comes with jam-packed features like Bluetooth 5.0v for wireless connectivity". It doesn't matter which operating system running in yours device, bluetooth technology in all devices is just bluetooth. So if is written 5th version, that's mean must be 5th version and it's doesn't matter iPhone or Samsung, Xiaomi, Sony, Huawei and ect. android or Apple's software.
I can't quite follow what Xiaomi Today is saying in your quoted text. Will my phone need Bluetooth 5.0 for it to work with the GTR? Or will 4.2 be compatible?

With a quick google search I found that the watch has Bluetooth 5.0 or 4.2 LE (and there where shops naming both -.-), it may be the different released versions... Sorry for the comment but... Chinese being Chinese...
Anyway back to the question, I found an article pointing out that Bluetooth v5.0 is backwards compatible with v4 and also improves the connection, hence, it should work.
I guess the confusion is that the articles I have seen only mention that phones with Bluetooth v5.0 will work with accessories (speakers,watches,etc) that only have Bluetooth v4+ and not the other way around. Do accessories with Bluetooth v5.0 work with phones with only Bluetooth 4+?

I'm not aware of a pairing issue. Where are you hearing this?
I read under some YouTube comments. But back to the first question it will work correctly with 4.2 Bluetooth system or we need 5.0 on our phone. Any experience? (I talked some people but all of them used Bluetooth 5.0 so now I don't have correct info about working with older sys). I want to buy this watch but I have a xiaomi mi a2 lite and now I don't want to change the phone

I'm still waiting to receive my GTR so I can't answer whether a 4.2 bluetooth phone will work with it. Being that only a few high end phones with bluetooth 5.0 are available at this time, I would think we'd be hearing complaints about the GTR not working on older phones (4.x). So I'm leaning toward it will work fine. I will come back to this post to confirm the 4.2 question when I receive my GTR.
What do people think the outlook is like in terms of updates to this watch, new faces etc?

Amazfit ensures that GTR paring works fine starting from Android 5.0, and there were no Bluetooth 5.0 devices at the time it was released. That's why I assume that a 4.2 Bluetooth phone will have no pairing issues.

Xiaomi devices are known for their popularity in the developer community, I expect the same to continue with this device. The Mi Band 4 was recently released and there are already over a thousand watch faces for that bad boy, and it has already gotten a few firmware updates.

Hello,
I just received the beautiful Amazfit GTR 47mm aluminum version. I made all the updates of the watch, the font, the A-GPS... but the GPS can't be found / detected in France! I stay more than 3 minutes in the same place, in a clear place where there are no or very few buildings, but the GPS doesn't work...
I compared with my Amazfit Pace... which finds the GPS signal in less than 15 seconds! Look : i.ibb.co/8z5rwzZ/pace-vs-gtr-fr.jpg
By the way, I already reset the Amazfit GTR, I restarted the watch several times, I did the calibration to the compass. Nothing works
Someone had the same problem?

For me everything work ok on GTR Global version...
For Compass did u make this (∞) motion?
One more thing, this ceramic bezel is very soft, I already have a micro scratch! I didn’t drop it, I take it off at night ...
I can confirm, that GTR (international) pairs with my iPhone7 (bt 4.2) no problem. Battery life seems very good 4% battery used on the first day and night (with all the initial tinkering with a new toy ) without continuous HR and gps.

Hello i have a similar problem. GPS fixing is very very slow and GPS isnt working until A-GPS data is updated. But i can't find anywhere in Amazfit app where i can manually update A-GPS data. Do you know is there any option in Amazfit app to update A-GPS manually? Also have alluminium Aloy version.
Hello i have problem with mi GTR4 and android phone. Phone fully paired with watch, incoming call to mobile phone. In the case that this call was received through the watch, everything went perfectly smoothly. However, if the call was received by a mobile phone, nothing cant be heard from the call on the mobile phone in the loudspeaker for the first three seconds, as the call was primarily directed back to the watch. Only after the mentioned three seconds did the watch recognize that the call was being received by a mobile phone and only then was it redirected to the mobile phone speaker. Anyone met with this ? Its realy anoing

Incoming calls always go from the phone to the watch, it's up to you to answer with one or the other.
Can be useful.

i have paired all corectly and its working but i dont understant why is there 3 seconds lag when i receave phone with phone thats anoing. i answer with watch in one case from 20 calls. rest 19 calls i have first 3 sec lag. that makes it basically useless
i have the exact same issue with my gtr4 paired with the xiaomi mi 9t. didnt find any solution until now. Hope that there will be a fix soon... Its really annoying.
it is problem with xiaomi phones. in bluetooth setings they see watch like handsfree and send incaming call alwais to the wacht. when i switch telephone back tu huawei he see watch like watch and problem is gone. it also work with apple phones. rest brands i dont know

Don't generalize everything, on my Xiaomi 12 pro everything works perfectly.
Maybe a forgotten setting, for the association there must be 2, you must in the additional bluetooth settings, authorize unnamed devices.
Same with gtr3 pro and xiaomi mi9t.
This is so annoying!
I really expected that amazfit, which is sub brand of xiaomi will make it to work probably with Xiaomi's phones

Forgot to specify that I am using a Xiaomi EU rom.
What can happen is that some people have a CN version phone.
well im EU too and phone was also from EU distribution so i believe that he had also EU rom. i personaly believe that if is all fine now they fixed it with release watch S1 so maby MIUI 13 or devices released 2022

Hello everyone!
I have the exact same problem with my GTR 4 and my phone is a Samsung A52S so it's obviously not a phone problem if you have the same issue with your Xiaomi phones.

Since I wrote that, I replaced my mobile phone to Samsung Galaxy s21 fe.
The discussed bug with the gtr3 pro still happening...
I would never buy another Amazfit watch ever again.
You need to have Amazfit GTR 4 two times listed in Bluetooth Settings. Both need to be connected. Only then call will go the watch.
Same problem here. I am using Samsumg and Gtr 3 Pro.
Same problem on my wife's gts4 and a xiaomi 9t.
