Hi everybody!
I just stumbled onto this website and I'm amazed to see how many things I can learn from you guys what to do with my watch. My Amazfit is new, updated, but after the battery dropped dead, I can't seem to access the Sleep, Steps, Compass, GPS, and Monitor.
I am really curious what can I do to make my watch work again, as I found it perfect to my all activities. The sleep function is really important for me as I'm fidgeting at night and I'm under mild medication to sort my problems. This watch was vital for me.
Thanks heaps for any help.
ps: I restarted a few times, I even reset it to factory settings. Every single time I restart it, I get an "Optimising App1, Total 1" message for a few minutes, then I can't access most of its function.
Cheers.
You can see only clockface? I've had that problem that Amazfit got stuck on one pericular watchface, had to change it via phone app, it took some time, and after restart everything was ok. Try that

Thanks for your reply. It's not stuck on one single face, I can change them. The watch works fine apart from the fact that I can't access GPS, Monitor, Pace and Sleep. Even after restarting, unpairing n pairing, updating etc...
I think you're pretty much in the same boat as me. I'm still trying to figure it out for the past few month when I got into that problem as well. The only time it worked was few days ago, where I went and flashed the Pacified Rom, and back to 1.3.3a. It only worked for about a day or 2 before going back to the problem again. I suggest that since it's new, get it replaced as soon as possible. I've been trying to get mine replaced but my seller is ignoring me and Aliexpress is not much of help.
Isn't there any down/upgrade that would solve this situation?
I mean, I bought it from the same website, no warranty/refund available. That's a pity.
Do you have any tutorial on how you flashed the Pacified Room and back to 1.3.3.a?
Thanks a lot, Alex.

You could retry reinstall firmware perhaps...
Search here how to. (or update with newer firmware)

First you need to unlock the bootloader. To do that, you can have a look at it here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/tutorial-unlock-bootloader-warning-void-t3654011
To flash the rom to PACEfied follow the link here. You could try the latest version .35, but that didn't work for me as I got stuck in the update loop despite using fastboot to continue, so I ended up using version .32. Instructions are all there
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/rom-pacefied-amazfit-huami-amazfit-t3539431
To flash it back to 1.3.3a, go through this link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/tutorial-convert-xiaomi-huami-amazfit-t3532508
Currently trying to repeat the steps I did on how to get everything working minus the GPS running app. Now I'm at .29 of the Pacefied ROM. Waiting for my battery to be completely drain and wait a day before charging it and flash it back to 1.3.3a. Will let you know if it's a success or not.
I've come to a conclusion that this is related to hardware problems. Somehow even draining it for 3 days still didnt' do anything and now the battery doesn't even last up to a day.. Looks like we're pretty much unlucky to get these faulty units. Sad.
Hi Alex! My Amazfit is working fine now, I think by the greatest of coincidence. Let me tell you what happened.
Yesterday I ran out of battery and I chucked in the cradle in order to charge it, but I couldn't see any charging. Then I twisted, rotated and changed its position and nothing happened.
Then I realized the contact plates might be dirty. With a cotton bar and an alcohol pad, I cleaned them thoroughly and guess what, once I restarted the watch it works perfectly.
I'm not sure this is the reason or I've been lucky, but honestly speaking I'm afraid to restart it again. So I will keep charging it religiously avoiding any discharge. My other problem is that I need to get a new phone.
Would I be able to pair my new phone to Amazfit without "restarting to factory settings"?
Thanks.

Sweet. I think I did something similar to clean the plate. But alas mine still doesn't work as we speak. I think restarting it is ok. But because I unpaired it with my phone, the watch went into factory reset that got me back to where it was not able to work. Maybe before you unpair with your current phone, on your new phone try logging in. If it's like the mi band 2, it should prompt you to pair via BT rather than QR code.

I don't know what the heck is going on with my HTC HD2, but the reboots are getting quite annoying.
Furthermore i noticed it happens when i utilize the cpu heavily.
Mostly with streaming video or playing games.
Have done multiple hard resets, rom updates and even custom roms but nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my phone even reboots(soft resets) after watching 5 whole seconds of youtube
So even directly after a hard reset the problem persists.
I'm totally confused right now(because i have tried everything i could do to fix this problem).
I am thinking could it be the battery not giving enough juice for the task? overheating ? or just faulty hardware?
what do you guys think?
because i noticed that the problem is happening more frequently over time.
Edit: it rebooted even in idle a moment ago (1th time) ???
Similar issue with youtube freeze and reset
I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.
I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.
It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.
I am on:
OS v.5.2.21889
Mania v.2.5.20121412.1
ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE
Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
I have done some trail and error, played around with coreplayer and i noticed that when i set the video quality to FLV medium quality in the buildin youtube app in coreplayer i won't reboot that quick anymore, but after a couple of seconds it will eventually still reboot. If i set quality to high quality/high bandwidth i will reboot much faster (so this let's me think about some kind of memory leak/buffer overflow).
Furthermore luckly i don't have any problems with playing mp4 videos in coreplayer, i have tested this especially because of the youtube reboots, and it will keep playing for 1,5 hour without any problems, so maybe you could try coreplayer and see if that's a solution for your mp4 problem ?
But eventually it would be nice if these problems where sorted out so that the device will work like it is supossed to be
Already tried a TASK29 and a flashing a stock ROM from your SD card?
Ye, have tried task 29 (between each roms, i do use task to make sure that the phone is empty.) and when i went back to my 1.72 stock rom i did flash it from SD, but still no luck.
this happened to me today as i was logging onto the net. it did a full master reset.
Same thing happened to me after the unit froze. I pulled the battery, put it back in an it went into this continuous loop of starting up, going through the first couple of screens and then rebooting. What I eventually found to be the problem was that I had inadvertently bent one of the battery pins when I put the battery back in, not much but just enough to where it wasn't making contact. After I carefully straightened it out the issue was gone and it fired up as usual. I love simple fixes, of course this was after I task 29'd and reflashed which didnt correct the problem.

hmm i only got the problem while i'm watching streaming video through 3g and on usb > active sync > pc data connection / some (cpu intensive) games
with wifi no problems at all, it plays youtube for more then a hour without a reboot, and i tested it multiple times to make sure), and booting is just fine without a single hickup

Hey, thank you @thompsd. This was driving me crazy on my phone. I finally took it back to a TMobile store for replacement and they put me on the phone with support before they would issue a replacement. Of course I was bewildered when they had me take out the battery and put it back in (which I had done a zillion times) and the phone suddenly worked. The person on the phone told me that it was fixed because I had to keep the battery out for at least 90 seconds. This made absolutely no sense, but it was hard to argue with success. I walked out of the store with my head hung low in shame.
Tonight, sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight, I noticed that my phone was hung so I pulled the battery to reset it. When I put the battery back in and started it, the phone went into the reboot loop -- displaying the boot screen for a couple of seconds and then shutting down and rebooting. I pulled the battery for 90 seconds. 120 seconds, 5 minutes. No joy. Realizing that this solution made absolutely no sense in the first place, I decided to search around again.
I found your reply in this thread and looked at my battery contacts. One of them was bent. I straightened it out, put the battery back in and the phone booted right up. Now I realize that when I was on the phone with TMobile, I must have put the battery back in that one time in such a way that inadvertently straightened the pin.
Hi all,
I have (maybe) the same problem with my HD2 i.e. when it is "doing something", well not idle, it sometimes restarts itself and then usually will not get out of the cycle of crash/reboot untill I remove the battery and wait for a few minutes before starting it again.
This is always more frequent if I am using a serious application such as sat nav. It also has only happened when the unit is connected to power, either on my desk or in the car (different power sources), but disconnecting it from the power after the cycle has started doesn't help.
I have assumed from the symptoms that it is caused by overheating and so leaving it switched off for a period allows it to cool.
I have got a return packet from Vodafone to send it for repair but I am loath to do this as it is likely to take 10 days and I suspect I might either get a recon unit back or "no fault found".
Does anyone think this could be battery related? If so I would buy a 2nd battery and test it.
Cheers, Gordon
I can confirm having the same problem.
Using BattClock (which shows a.o. the battery temperature) I was able to establish that the resets and reset loops happen once the battery temperature exceeds 31-32°C.
Contacted HTC support and received reply that the phone qualifies for repair.
PS. My wife just suggested providing me with a cooler bag, so I can enjoy reset-free phone during summer heatwave...
I had similar behavior, but it was due to the new ROM release (4/28/10). I loaded the official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10) and the problem went away.
L.B.
Yesterday my battery charge got very low and shut the phone down. When I turned the phone back on without charging it kept rebooting time after time. I tried plugging the charger in but that didn't help. I took out the battery and put it back in and that still didn't help. I finally caught it when it was rebooting and pressed volume down and got the phone in bootloader to at least stop the constant rebooting. I left the phone on the charger and after about 1/2 hour I pulled the battery and put it back in and the phone was fine.
I am not wanting this to happen again. Maybe I will go back to an older ROM.
if i have some luck i will receive my phone tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
i will let you know what has been repaired and if this solved the reboot problem.
today i received my phone back from the repair center.
The repair letter says that the display has being changed because it was not functioning anymore? (but when i sent the phone in the display was working like it should).
And the youtube problem is still there
Im having the same problem! i figure it was the battery overheating...or the rom or even probably a not compatible radio.....try to change all of these and is still restarting when ever it tries to connect to any data or internet usage. Ex. youtube, downloading of files from the internet, Remote Desktop even Microsoft My Phone still restarts.
even when i used to make/receive phone calls it would restart as soon as i picked it up to talk. but for this i had a solution witch as of now is working fine with out a problem.
if anybody else has this problem with the Receiving/making calls this should work.
1. Go to: Start/Settings/Connections
2. is the "TASK" tab choose "Manage Existing Connections"
3. In the "Modem Tab" has for options to choose from, normally is on "Auto", this was the problem. you would want to get it OFF AUTO.
4. Try all the other " voice Stream options Shown" and see witch one works for you without giving problems, and save. Im currently using "wap.voicestream.com." witch is the second option after Auto.
Well i hope this works for you guys if ur having similar problems, its actually work for me. GooD luck! hope this helps.

After riding my motorcycle in the rain, my P780 started turning itself off and on. I assume the power button sort of makes contact from time to time. At first it would allow the phone to boot before shutting down and then power on. Now it's just resetting itself every few seconds.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? My 2 problems:
1. How do I stop it? I'm afraid it will break for good with all the shutting on and off. I can't stop it because I cannot remove the battery. I am in Vietnam and don't have access to any tools. So I just here a vibrating sound every 2 seconds or so when it turns on. The screen flickers a bit, then it shuts itself down. Repeat.
2. How the hell will I explain my problem to a service? Nobody speaks English here and I am not in one of the big cities.
I have no idea if the water played a role in this. Maybe it's a coincidence. The phone is currently in a big bowl of rice. I have no idea if it will do something. It's been there for over 3 hours and the battery doesn't seem to be giving out soon.
So yeah.
Help!
edit: it stopped resetting.. Now it just stays with all three buttons lit.

Hi,
Something similar happened with me also. Last week I was using the phone and suddenly it slept from pocket and
fall into full bucket of water. Immediately after this I taken out my phone from bucket and saw that it was starting again and again.
Without wasting anytime I dis mental my phone and kept under hair dryer and gave heat so that all water can get dry.
It was my luck that when giving heat and assembling it. It started working.
Now it is almost a week since this incident was occurred. everything working normal.
Hope it should help you.

This afternoon I took it to a shop. The guy took the battery out, put it back in. Phone starts working. After a few hours same thing starts happening again. At least now I got a video and I can show to him tomorrow. I still don't know what the real issue is.
Indeed the power button contact was at fault. After fixing that (twice, because I managed to fill it with water again) I have a new set of problems:
1. The signal of both phone cards is awful. Useless 99% of the time. I see a lot of people have this issue
2. The security applications magically changed to chinese and there doesn't seem to be an option to turn it back to english (this coming from a mandarin speaking girl I met on a bus)
3. I constantly get the message that I cannot install applications because I have no space available on the phone. I just run the chinese security app cleaner and it ejects 250MBs of garbage.
I guess installing a custom ROM might fix this? I don't know almost anything about ROMs and it is really important I don't brick the phone. My phone seems to alteady have a custom ROM. I have Vibeui 2.0. Do you have recomandations for a stabile and easy to install english ROM?
Thank you very much

On the third point, no space available on the phone, either you're really out of space (check it, due to weird partitioning of the internal storage, might be true, but if you are trying to install through Play store (and know you have some space left), there is a known issue with the MTK chipset and Google Play Services version, giving this error. My workaround was to uninstall Play Store (it will not uninstall, but roll back all updates), then quickly install/update apps because the Play Store will update itself automatically again (can't stop it). Very annoying, but it works... After I upgraded to KitKat, no more issues with Play Store.
I've had a problem with my phone since day one (beging of November). I've tryed reading up for tips here, tryed alot of diffrent thing, plus hard reset, soft reset, repair in Sony bridge, fabric reset, runing the phone in safemode ect. Nothing seems to work. I use the phone normal, only some calls and texts somethimes, camera, and scrolling social media. But still the bayttery last just a half day, full charged in the morning and empty before bed time.
Does anyone have any more tips? Anyone think Marshmellow will help? Really reluctant going back to the store and them sending in for repair, being without a up-to-date phone for weeks and most likely problem not solved when geting it back and then doing this for 4 times before they'll replace it. (aldready done this every 3month or so with the Z1C og Z3C since spring 2014... *tiered*)

That's the lollipop radio active bug on latest .200 build I guess, I got similar case with you. Battery draining quick when not in use but I'm better than u, probably you got some other apps/services spending extra battery at background too.
Send back the phone every week won't help. Flash back .152 rom should be better but I think it will need Marshmellow to fix it ultimately.

For me it seems okey when not in use, unless theres a bug or something. F.ex the battery indicator is pretty much the same when I stop using it and when I pick it up again. And then it drains fast, f.ex scrolling down internet/facebook/instagram og whatever it drops 1% pr every 1min +/-.
And like explained, Ive tryed to run it in saftymode also, all my apps, settings ect gone, and pretty much still the same battery drain.
So unsure if marshmellow will fix this, or the store needs to repair it if thats possible, or the phone just needs to be replaced. Or maybe someone has another battery fix tip?

I understand now, you switched to safe mode to freeze background apps. I still believe that sd810 is quite power hungry when you real get used to it and some apps like facebook is usually resources hogging. But mine won't drop like 1% per min, there must be somethings wrong with you. It can be bad battery or charger in your phone damaged or the usb cable or wall charger which made your battery not actually full charged.

Hm... Yeah, it might be something like that. Been like that since day 1 =/
I originally bought one a week before, but it had the echo problem so since it was within 30days they just gave me a new. I think that one also had a bit of a battery problem, but cant remember if it was that bad. I really should have gone back before 30 on this one too, I was just so tiered of replacing and sending for repair. And I thought Marshmallow would be right around the corner or that some of the things I have tried might work.. But no..
But yeah, do think its more likely that it needs repair/replacement than that Marshmallow will solve it?
EDIT: It cant be the actual charger btw, I switch using an old Z3C charger, the one that follows and an another USB charger.
I face a similar problem. I doesn't have any solution :/
I gave up, and sent it in for service. Fingers crossed it helps and no more problems with anything after that.

If you guys got root and xposed, try Amplify it can limit many wakelock and follow this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
I've used BetterBatteryStat and track what is causing wakelock. After limited them, my battery is a bit better now.
Sent it in for service also. I hope they will send me back a fully working phone. This is my first try with Sony care on 3 sony phones !
Sooo, the service report says that they have installed newest software and fabric reset the phone, tested it and dont see the same problem that I do.. That was a bummer, since the problem is deff there (I have same settings, apps, widgets ect as I have had on several z1c og and z3c. But battery have been better on all of them, 3days when they are new, and 1-2 days later. This z5c has been at approx 1/2 day since day one... ). And i have tried fabric reset, soft reset, hard reset, repair in bridge and saftymode. Hope it just magically works when I get it back..

My drain strangely slowed down after flashing generic nordic over Norwegian Telenor branding. Can't really explain it since the branding is very subtle.

Try disable Google Play Services and check if it is creating the drain overnight.
My Amazfit lost battery within half a day and i tried so much to fix this.
Started to believe in a hardware problem but after completely resetting the watch and pairing it with a new MI account and not restoring any data it runs several days without charging. I am quite sure the reason for the problem is an unfinished sync that is constantly repeated. Also seems that flight mode doesn't deactivate BT completely as it had no effect on the battery drain. When the connected phone was completely turned off, the battery seemed to last.
I am a bit confused.
What are your experiences with that problem?
I have the same problem and reset the watch to no avail. But, I didn't try to skip the restoration part. I'll try that and see if I get similar results. Anyone else having this issue?
I have the exact same issue. I already tried everything but nothing worked. When I compare the data from my Amazfit watch app with the Mifit app I can see that some days are not properly synced. So I guess you are right, it must be a syncing issue. I didn't try to make a new mi account after unpairing, but I guess I have no choice. This really sucks.
I also tried wiping it (resetting to factory) as well as new xi account. Didn't work. Then I tried uninstalling the app from my phone and turning the watch to airplane mode. No luck. I'm now not convinced it's a syncing issue.
After installing PACEFIED release 24 the battery drain is back. I am totally fed up with the watch.
Let's write down the facts to find a reason:
-I have a Chinese Version of the watch
-latest PACEfied installed
-Installed older chinese App, connected watch and then updated via Playstore to latest english App (Strava sync works)
-no wifi password entered for watch
-no music on watch, no headsets connected
-no additional apps or watchfaces installed
-no Mi-Fit App installed
-Phone is a Huawei P9lite on Android 7.0 EMUI 5
The sync with my phone works only once then i have to restart the watch, Notifications do not work constantly.
Then you seem to have a bluetooth problem.
It might be your watch, it might be the phone.
And when BT runs wild on the watch, it eats through the battery.
Can you check with a different phone?

Doesn't work for me... It seems like you have a different issue, but thanks for the sharing. Today I also tried to unpair the watch and pairing it with a different Mi account but also that didn't work. Resetting the bluetooth settings in my phone didn't make a difference either. I have honestly no clue what the problem is.
i have the same kinde of issue, for two weeks it was great, now i have to charge it every day, try everything. . new account, wipe cashe, factory reset, still the same problem
i think it is a software problems with, first of all huawei phones and some particular watchfaces. In fact i didn't use my amazfit for 8 days and the battery drain was normal. When i reconnected it the battery started draining... maybe the kirin processors aren't completely compatible with tha amazfit... another thing i noticed is that some third party watchfaces cause draining problems.
Im using us rom 1.3.3a.. xiaomi mi5s..
I started having battery drain issue after playing at beach.. but i didn't swim more than 1m.. dont know whether its related or not..
Done factory reset twice..changed facewatch.. still draining.. on airplane mode, so no notification.. Backlight auto, no continuous HR.. only last a day average..
Anyone can help? Really hope for new official rom update will fix this issue..
I have the same problem. Could this be a real battery failure?

As per Huami moderators, swimming is strict no no...
Hey guys.
I'm also having a battery drain problem. I didn't go swimming or did anything out of the usual. The watch works fine but the battery lasts close to a day, when a couple of weeks ago it would last at least three days.
I have continuous HR measures, do exercise with music every two days, but even in airplane mode there seems to be a drain.
I've un-paired and re-paired the watch back with the phone and the drain is still present.
I have no extra apps sideloaded, root or custom ROM. I have the latest international version of the app 1.7.1 and latest firmware 1.0.9.6.
Anyone found any fix for this? Does a any recent development version say anything in the change log related to battery drains being fixed?
Regards.

I have a P9 Lite Huawei, and i have probleme with a lot of deconnection and drain battery .... somebody have a solution for me ?
Mine has started to drain from 100% to 0% in a couple of hours.
Must admit I might of got it wet as I wore it to the beach, got in touch with Huawei and this what they said, and my watch failed .
Hello Vince,
Thank you for contacting Amazfit.
We are very sorry that you have trouble with the device.
Have you ever submerged the device into water? For example, did you wear it when you were swimming or taking a bath/shower?
To troubleshoot your issue, please do a small test for us.
1) Fully charge your watch to 100%
2) Turn on the flight mode on the watch
3) Turn off the Bluetooth on your phone.
4) Make it untouched for 24 hours
5) Check the power consumption
If the power consumption is less than 15%, it's normal.
If the power consumption is greater than 15%, it can't be repaired, please contact the seller to find a solution.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Cheers and have an excellent day!
Sincerely,
Molly| Amazfit Support

I have the same problem. I also got Mollys message you posted.
Is there a way to replace the battery?
Very disappointing!
After performing the test she requested and realizing that the watch dies on me after 8 hours I got the following message from her:

Same Issues
I'm having the same issues. Worked great for over a month. I was getting 4 to 5 days of charge easily.
Then last week It suddenly started to drain fast on me. Now i am barely getting 4 to 5 hours.
Did not get the watch wet.
I tried to run it in Airplane mode overnight. I woke up after about 3 hours and it was dead. Tonight i will try airplane mode and shut the bluetooth off on My Galaxy S7 as well.
A1612 firmware 1.3.3a
ps: Come to think of it my Galaxy S7 just had a software upgrade early last week. The problem started just after that upgrade I think.
i have charge the device at 100%, then turn it off for almost 2 days, now it seem like power is holding on, i hope it will last
Since last update, my watch never was the same. TouchScreen doesn't work and battery drains within 1 day.
I've tried to disconnect and reconnect to app, but it didn't work.
The watch is new and still in warranty, what should i do?
EDIT: Touch is working, this is what i did. => 1st - Factory Reset [watch buttons save me]. 2nd - Unplugged From App. 3rd - Plug to App without loading the old data.
Battery still with issues... 50% = 8h
Last update meaning 2.3.7.0?
This update also totally ruined my watch and like you repairing / rebooting etc etc makes no difference.
I'd be happy to roll back to 2.3.5.0 but seems this can't be done without unlocking the bootloader and therefore voiding warranty?
So I think options now as looking for a refund? I'd be happy to exchange for a replacement with 2.3.5.0 too.

My touch it's working now. I've restored factory data and then unplugged from my phone, and it worked. But i still have issue with the battery.... 50% lasted 8h, how can this be possible?

Mine dropped down to about 63% after about 6 hours, so that seems similar to mine.
On previous 2.3.5.0 firmware I used to lose about 2% overnight with continuous heart rate monitoring or about 5% a day with not much activity. I don't think Huami test their firmware, they just roll it out and let us mugs find the problems, trashing the watches in the process
I'm now on my 3rd day trying to sort out this disastrous 'upgrade' :crying:
New update on this matter:
My watch stopped charging. Don't know how.
Recently shipped back to Honorbuy, hope they fixed it, it was in warranty.
