Is there any possibility to connect the Amazfit pace to PC using the WiFi for file transfer? I tried the Software Data Cable. I installed the app on the watch, but after starting it always crashes...
Or isnt possible to use the bluetooth?
Install at watch this file manager, activate wifi at watch in it settings, open ftp-server in file manager. Works while backlight is on.
MyPhoneExplorer does this thing very good
Hello, well I respond on another thread but I paste my last comment here too, it may be useful for some people :
I just tried to install this free app Wifi File Transfer apk from https://apkpure.com/wifi-file-transfer/com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer and it's working really great!
I used adb to install it.
Once installed click on it to launch it, it is true that the screen is small but you can navigate by dragging up with the finger, the upper part of the app to "start" button then click on it. Then a message appears to check that everything works, click on the "V" green then a "stop" button appears, drag with your finger without clicking on "stop" the upper part, the link appears which can be used to connect by an internet browser (any of them)
Click on "Stop" to stop the app.
Pros: you can access all the files of your watch and for example transfer themes directly into your watch without having to connect it to your computer. Another advantage, you can use any computer or device with web browser connected to the same wifi as the watch. So it will work with your smartphone too.
Cons: do not stay too long connected because your battery will not like too much ...
Hello, I am trying the wifi file transfer, but when I try to start it, it says "wifi not connected". I go to watch settings to connect the wifi, but when I come back to application, it says again wifi not connected.
Any idea?
Thanks
Had same problem connecting Amazfit Stratos to Windows 10.
Easily solved with cleaning the contacts of the watch with a simple pensil eraser!!
No need to thank

Hi! I have a problem regarding bluetooth transfer. I want to send files from Atrix to my laptop but it won't work even if it showed paired and connected to media. However, I can send files from my laptop to Atrix using bluetooth without a problem. Do i need to be rooted to do this?
No you shouldn't have to be rooted to transfer files via BT. Have you tried the Phone Portal app that came on the Atrix? Open the app and select "connect with wifi", in your computers browser enter the ip address shown on your phones screen. Thats it! You should now have access to the files on your Atrix via your web browser.
Thx.. somehow i fixed the bluetooth issue myself. and, using bluetooth to connect atrix to laptop is way faster than the phone portal one
Good you got it working! Its takes me about 20 seconds from opening the phone portal app to typing the ip in my browser, not bad. The advantage of phone portal over bt is the 'file explorer' - bt only allows transfers not exploring; with phone portal you can see the files/folders and thats a huge advantage to me.
I can also use bluetooth to explore my files on atrix also. Somehow opening the ip address is very slow for me
How do you do explorer over bt? Is it software on the computer or?
I downloaded the "bluetooth file transfer" from the market which enables FTP. Then i go to device manager and find my bluetooth card and enables the FTP in it. When I enabled tthe FTP, it will install a driver. Then go to control panel-> bluetooth devices-> MB860, press connect in the phone operations then "browse files on your phone" will show up. Then you just click it and then you can explore it.
I was wanting to try and send a file from my phone to the tablet using blue tooth file transfer. I was able to pair my tablet to my phone through blue tooth but it will not connect once the process is done. On both devices it gave the same message to allow paring and the same identification number. I hit allow pair and it does. After that nothing happens. I hit the settings icon next to the paring and it only gives an option to unpair or rename the cell phone/pair connection.
I'm thinking it is not properly setting up the profile for the connection. When I go into the setting for my headphones it lists the profile and the options for it; voice chat, media, etc. Is this part of the problems people are having with the BT connections? Is there a setting I need to turn on or off somewhere is the OS of the tablet?
I'm using a Mytouch4g slide phone and looked on the phone to see what options are given. Hitting the paired icon for the table only gives the option to delete it. On there my connection to my laptop for blue tooth gives the profile options for transfers etc. When I get home I will try connecting the tablet to my laptop and see if the profile gets created. If it works then it has to be something between my phone and the tablet.
Connecting two complex devices like a phone and a tablet isn't (generally) the same as plugging in a USB device, or plugging a phone into a PC. The two devices will never show up as removable storage or an extra hard drive. They won't even actually be connected most of the time. However if they are paired they will "look" for each other and share files back and forth if you initiate a transfer.
Try sending a file from one device to the other.
In any file explorer, select the file you want to share, select share, select blue tooth and then select the paired device. If the two devices are properly paired you will get a message on the receiving device asking you if you want to accept the file and if you hit OK the file will be sent over the blue tooth connection.
Try the app "bluetooth file transfer" to do it. It's what I had to use to push the file from my phone to tablet through bluetooth.
I have my EVO3D paired and it always says its not connected but paired. When i ask to transfer a file (song, pic, comic, movie, etc...) it pops up to ask if i want to accept it. I press yes and it works.

I uninstalled that bluetooth file transfer app. Its buggy and doesn't seem to work. I just use the normal built in Bluetooth capabilities to transfer files, photos, movies, etc...works great. That one app is crap, IMO.

Must be user error. Took me all of 10 seconds to connect my thunderbolt and prime and start transferring a file.
It is not user error. I was again annoyed today that I couldn't get it work the first time and decided to tinker around again. Still same situation where it will pair and show the same security code on my phone and the tablet, sync/pair up, and that is it. After that it will not connect. It didn't matter if I tried to initiate the the connection from my phone or the tablet. But I did get a message on one attempt saying something to the effect of software preventing a connection.
I decided to try it with a coworkers phone and it was the same situation. It would discover the phone, pair, but not connect. That was another Android device. I then went to another who has an Iphone 3gs and got the same result. Except his phone gave the message saying the tablet is not supported. I'm going to try and include the picture in this post.
I tried a factory reset of the tablet thinking maybe there was something that went bonkers with the patches but that didn't work either. I'm not sure where the problem is. I've connected my phone to multiple bluetooth devices and no problems. I've only gotten the tablet to connect to my bluetooth headphones and that is it.
It would be nice to get the tablet to connect with my phone as I could then use bluetooth gps on it and do file transfers. I've tried the apps for doing such tasks and it won't sync up.

You don't need this app, bluetooth file sharing is built right into the Prime (and most Android devices).
Has anyone tried to use the usb to transfer huge file because to transer 400mb of info through bt would take a million years, I tired today to use the usb with my prime and evo and the tablet did not show me the file when I turned on the storage from the evo .
So right now had to take out the sd card which is anoying just wanted to know if anyone has been able to get this work.
What is strange is that I know the usb works fine since I have used my external harddrive and it works perfect. So I think there is something that has to do with the phone connection that it not tlakng to the tablet.

I had this problem while trying to BT connect my Transformer with my Wileyfox Swift, in order to test the "File-Go" beta App from Google. After many attempts I made some progress by simultaneously pressing pair on both machines. I was then able to share files via Bluetooth, although the "File-Go" App didn't allow BT transfer.
Hi
does anyone have the file explorer WiFi transfer working on their PACE ? I installed the apk on both my phone and the watch and watched the youtube video several times but cant get mine to connect.
I choose the "access from.." option on the watch, connected to WiFi and started the service and noted the IP address and port. I then open up the app on my phone and choose the "remote" option followed by FTP option and then add a remote location. When adding the remote location I add the IP address and port. There is a space for username and password but I don't know what to put in there ? I tried just leaving those blank and choosing anonymous but it didnt connect.
I see on the youtube video for this that the uploader already has a FTP location created with username and password populated but doesnt show how this is done.
Anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong ? Thanks
The watch needs to be awake or it shuts off the WiFi connection, you can try to do it while charging watch to keep it awake.
Note: on the other device just use the browser and ftp:// IP address : port
I was playing about with it this morning and found the issue. I was using the default port of 4045 on the file manager on the watch which is blocked. Tried to use Chrome browser to access and was given ERR_UNSAFE_PORT message. Changed the port to 2000 and all worked OK.
Would be great now if a new feature was put out in next release to allow for either increase in lock time or enable/disable function

Try this File Manager:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager
I downloaded it to my phone then exported the app and side loaded to the watch. It works pretty well, it has a button to activate WiFi (no need to go to watch settings). It creates an FTP server on watch you can connect from anywhere in the same WiFi network, even the same app on phone will work. When creating the FTP connection, choose any user name but leave password blank. You may need to activate the useful PaceOn app so the watch won't go to sleep (it closes the WiFi connection). Good luck.

I tried this before, yes, that one works for me fine. My only issue is that I cannot delete files with it...
very strange, it's working great for me on last original international rom. I don't know how to help you, very sorry

Delete files on the watch? You don't need FTP, you can do it using the file manager itself. As a Plus, you can also uninstall side loaded apps too. Cheers

connect your watch to a pc/laptop

On a side note: you can now transfer files from your phone to your watch through the amazfit app.
I am using the latest pacefied (1.2.4.8) and version 2.0 of amazfit on android.

It does not work for me. It seems the phone does not correctly created the hotspot... Did you manage to make it work?

Has anyone got the WiFi transfer "pro" version working. Today I installed the free ver which worked fine but has size limitations. I decided to buy the "pro" version but it wont install on the amazfit. Strange as free & pro ver's were same.
Did you try to uninstall the free version before you installed the pro version?
Amazfit Stratos not connecting with Macbook pro via android file transfer. the watch is charging but not showing on Macbook, Is there a way to rectify it, and how do i access the storage and delete the music from the stratos.
Are you using the original charger? Third party ones may not work for data transfers. If you are sure that your charger is fine, either check System Information -> USB to make sure the device is connected correctly. AFT sometimes hangs here, but disconnecting and reconnecting the watch fixes the problem without the need to restart my watch.

How do you know it's not accessible? Did you try adb and/or Android File Transfer? Does it work with another computer?
I have the same problem. Did you find the solution?
Just make sure that cradle (original charger) correctly snap in. No problem here with android file transfer, commander one, apkinstaller, adb or fastboot.
Same issue and I am using the only original charger there is. I am using the Android file transfer program directly downloaded from Amazfit website. Followed instructions 100% as written. Nothing.
If pressing the watch firmly after checking if both metallic pins on watch and cradle are clean, and also checked with another cradle and/or USB port, most probably it's due to an internal problem. You can still transfer files manually to and from watch using WiFi, probably there is a tutorial elsewhere about it.
I think this is a problem with the MacOS rather than the Amazfit. My Amazfit watch is recognised instantly in Android File Transfer, but AFT won't recognise my smartphone anymore. It used to work great, but suddently stopped working. I've tried all kinds of solutions and nothing works.
My watch has a terrible data connection with my mac as well. I think the contacts on the charging cradle don't work too well, because it maintains the connection if I hold it in the cradle tightly.
An easier solution is to go completely wireless. Turn on developer settings by tapping the build number. Then you should be able to get an adb connection over WiFi. Install File Manager +. It's got an ftp server that lets you transfer files directly.
Hey is there an option to transfer files from the phone to the watch? Like apps watch face and music?
Thanks
1. Install PaceOn and Filemanager+ by AlphaInventor on watch;
2. Configure PaceOn to turn on WiFi and start its service so screen won't go off (you can use the dim option to use less battery) and the WiFi remains on;
3. Go to FileManager and start Access from Computer (lower right option), WiFi should be on already, tap on Start Service and note the number above (IPort);
4. On your phone, use a FTP client (the same app works for Android phones, pick your favorite on iOS) and connect using the previous info: IPort.
Now you can send and receive files wirelessly to the watch using your phone or computer.
