Hi All,
I experience a Bluetooth trouble for some weeks: by the past I kept BT always active as it connected automatically upon entering in my cars. I was alerted because I no longer saw the “Connected …” message on the dashboard. I discovered that now, when I activate BT, it starts normally but it stops if it doesn't find any device to connect in the following 2 minutes. I have tried everything I know, even installing some software starting BT and keeping active when the phone is plugged. Nothing to do, it is always the same thing. Fortunately if it finds a device to connect it stays active as long as it is connected.
I have to say that I don't use any battery saver, I don't use the Android option "Energy saving" and I don't use any system program that could be linked to Bluetooth management.
Can anyone help me on this to recover a standard comportment?
BR.
Daniel.
Hi All
So I've found Bluetooth is the biggest battery drain, turned on my watch lasts 2 days, turned off I get over a week. So I've found I'm normally running it in Plane mode, then manually having to switch it off to sync up each evening.
Could anybody suggest a means of turning this on and off automatically via a scheduler?
Thanks

There is Auto Airplane on/off scheduler in the watch settings.
For your convenience, you may also use PaceOn app to manually control your Bluetooth/Wifi with ease.
How did I not spot this!
Perfect, thank you..
Hi,
I am trying to work around Mi Fit requiring location to connect to the BIP. I don't usually have location on (and don't want to) and every night when I set flight mode the connection is lost and notifications won't work until I enable location again and Mi Fit connects.
So, is there an app that does not require location to connect to the BIP? I asked Amazfit support and they said it is necessary - but didn't say what for.
If not, would it be possible to trick Mi Fit into "thinking" that location is on? Would there be an app to do that? I've seen apps to fake GPS location, but what I'd like to do is make Mi Fit read location as enabled (and maybe remember last location obtained?) without having location really enabled.
Any ideas on how to keep the connection between the phone and the watch without enabling location every time are welcome.
Thanks!
In case anyone wonders, I got it to connect by connecting to the watch via Bluetooth settings. First I had to force stop Mi Fit, then go to Settings, Bluetooth and link the phone to the Bip. Then, reopen Mi Fit and it connects everytime you expect it to
Cheers!
Hello I got problem with amazfit stratos 3. I cant pair it with any phone. Its probably becouse I accidentialy factory reset it while airplane mode. It seems like bluetooth is not working after reset becouse still in airplane mode. Now I have no access to settings to turn off airplane mode becouse watch restarted in pairing mode. Is there any option to anyway enter settings in pairing mode? Or what should I do?

I know few people with bluetooth issues on the watch. I've faced some problems to connect the watch to the app.
You can try:
Make sure you don't have the watch still paired in Amazfit app, if so, just unpair it from the app.
Remove the watch from Bluetooth paired devices.
Disable bluetooth on phone, force close Amazfit app and clean cache of the app.
Reboot into Ultra mode:
Code:
adb reboot mcu
and then go back to Smart mode.
Use AeX Amazfit mod app, since I'm using this app, bluetooth connection has improve in my case: https://portal.mi-room.ru/files/aex-amazfit-mod/
If nothing of this works, claim for your warranty.
Thank you, but nothing helped. Ill contact support. If anyone else have any idea how to solve this problem please reply. Btw, checked bluetooth status by adb, it says its off sadly

If you use:
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]adb shell dumpsys bluetooth_manager[/COLOR]
You will get:
Code:
enabled: false
state: 10
address: D8:80:3C:3B:71:F3
name: Watch
Bluetooth Service not connected
Even if BT is correctly connected so is not 100% trustable.
But yes, it's better to contact them.
If you want to do some other test, you can install PaceOn, which has WiFi/BT toggles and try to enable BT.
Before installing the apk, bypass the QR screen with:
Code:
[COLOR="blue"]adb shell pm hide com.huami.watch.setupwizard[/COLOR]
install the app, and play around with BT toggle.
If you want to launch the QR again:
Code:
[COLOR="blue"]adb shell pm unhide com.huami.watch.setupwizard
adb shell am start -n com.huami.watch.setupwizard/.InitPairQRActivity[/COLOR]
Sadly still nothing. Updated firmware by OTA to 4.2.4.0, no results. Also tried to play with bluetooth. Nothing happend.
If anyone still need information how to pair. It worked somehow, after few days off becouse of battery gone. Battery went to 0, then watch shutdowned. After power on, there is information your watch need alteast 5% battery to pair. If you click on it, pairing QR appears for a moment, then i scanned it before dissapeared and it worked.
Hello all,
Sorry for the offtipic post.
I am new at running and looking to get a sports watch to track my runs along with little smart features like showing notifications and controlling music from my phone.
I have short listed two watches according to my needs. Amazfit stratos 3, price 299 SGD or Garmin Vivoactive 3 element, price 267 SGD.
I need accurate GPS and HR along with less buggy software on watch and app.
Need help in deciding one of these two.
I have same problem.
It can pair only in ultra mode.
What should I do?
try to turn on GPS on the phone. for me was only option it paired.
For some time music controller doesn't work. Has anyone the same problem?
Hello all. I will continue here with my issue.
I have amazfit Stratos 3 (rom version 4.2.8.0)
I used the mobile phone HUAWEI MATE 9. No issue with the pairing in the past.
I bought a new mobile phone, ONE PLUS 9, and the issue started.
I had no issue with the old phone; the watch was always connected only with Bluetooth, without location on. The connection was stable without any problem.
I bought a new mobile phone, moved the APP ZEPP, and paired the watch. It worked, but it was not stable. The connection was dropping. I changed the phone's battery customisation for the app, so the app was always on, but nothing changed. Then I upgraded the firmware to 4.2.8.0.
Long story short, I have an issue with both phones from the firmware upgrade.
I can pair the watch with the old phone, and the connection is stable until the first time that watch loose connection with the phone. Then I cannot pair it anymore, and I need to factory reset the watch to pair it again over and over again. The connection with the new mobile phone does not work anymore.
I mostly used watch for 24/7 notification. And this is getting annoying to me.
What can I do? I appreciate your help.
UPDATE 1: with several attempts, I manage to pair the new phone with Stratos 3. BT and location on. IS location necessary that is on, because it draining my battery. On the previous phone, my location was off and the watch connected without issue.
UPDATE 2: The connection was paired for cca 2-3 hours. But in the last 30 minutes, somehow the connection was lost and I cannot pair it again.
Hi,
my SG Watch 4 (BT) ist the most time of the day in airplane mode.
2 or 3 Times a day i manually turn on Bluetooth to synchronize with my phone.
I am looking for a way to turn on BT automaticly for e.g. every 2 hours for 5 minutes.
Tasker e.g. seems to work only when the watch is connected to the phone.
Any hint for me?
