privacy of your health data, a-gps data? - Amazfit

Dear Amazfit-Users and developers,
As you will have noticed all your health and activity data gets uploaded on the Amazfit servers (located on some Amazon AWS-Cloud) when using the obligatory Amazfit App on your smartphone. Furthermore I was able to identify some system data like your installed apps and settings being transferred by analysing the data logs with "Grey Shirts Packet Capture".
Amazfit privacy statement: https://support.amazfit.com/hc/en-us/articles/220266468-Privacy-Policy
Well, not a big deal as we can just use a firewall/iptables to prevent the frequent, battery and data consuming transfers.
BUT: Updates of the firmware and especially the assisted GPS don't work anymore -> "AGPS has expired, gps searching will be slow Please connect the Amazfit watch app to update it"
Did anybody already deal with the problem?
Do you have any idea what server the A-GPS data is derived from (for setting some iptable exclusions)?
Best regards

I know the thread is old, but in case you're (or anyone else is) still interested in it, the AGPS data is retrieved via the following URL (only works if you have a valid token unfortunately):
https://api-watch-us.huami.com/apps/com.huami.watch/fileTypes/AGPSZIP/files?days=7
For manual updates I have switched to PACIFIED.

Dear Gerii,
Thanky for your answer! Do you have an idea how the token is generated?
How about PACIFIED? Does the AGPS-data update work without the Amazfit App?
Greetings

Hello, I got the same agps massage yesterday and I tried to downgrade the Amazfit app to the version of December the 29.
For the first it was no difference but today morning it updates the agps. I'm on stockfied 1.3.5

No, unfortunately not. But I didn't look into it that closely as the GPS quite good also works without it. It is usually fast enough to find a fix during my warm-up exercises, so it isn't that big of a deal for me.
As far as I know it only works with the app, but I don't use the Wifi on the watch.

Amazfit GPS drifting problem, findout the reason.

I and all you guys may met that problems many times before, and after doing many test I can see the cause of the problem. This time I show you one case I have just done it few hours ago:
- First I'm using iphone (but it not effect to the test)
- Amazfit app, change to us verson (simple just change the region to my country), so it will sync the activity to Strava.
- Watch Rom: us official 1.3.3a (the result is the same with dev PACEfied rom)
- Do the ride test around, with many turn.
- Sync the activity to Strava, go to strava export TCX file.
- Export TCX file directly from the watch. (How to)
****Okay, now compare:
Strava activity link: https://www.strava.com/activities/1068275813
TCX file export from strava and watch (see attachment files)
How to compare: import TCX files to this size: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=google
The result you can see at pictures attachment.
****Conclusion:
- The original GPS file from the watch is very good, no drifting at all.
- After syncing to Strava, GPS route change alot, drifting happens.
- So the issue here is the step "syncing to Strava"
****Solution:
I have no solution, because I am not the engineer from Huami, I hope people from Huami/Xiaomi see this post and will fix this problem. I have read many feedback from Amazon, Facebook group that they have to give back the watch because the drifting problem. Maybe Strava is not fair to change something when syncing (my thinking). The watch is really good but this problem made many people disappointed.
It is "easy" to spot what happens.
while the Amazfit saves the coordinates with 15 decimal places Strava uses only 6 ( and adds a 0 ).
If we take the first entry
Amazfit:
<Time>2017-07-05T04:35:20Z</Time>
<Position>
<LatitudeDegrees>10.391833305358887</LatitudeDegrees>
<LongitudeDegrees>107.10086822509766</LongitudeDegrees>
</Position>
</Trackpoint>
Strava
<Time>2017-07-05T04:35:20Z</Time>
<Position>
<LatitudeDegrees>10.3918330</LatitudeDegrees>
<LongitudeDegrees>107.1008680</LongitudeDegrees>
</Position>
You can see that there is a difference, but a small one ( ~13cm )
If you then go to
Amazfit:
<Time>2017-07-05T04:40:57Z</Time>
<Position>
<LatitudeDegrees>10.385744094848633</LatitudeDegrees>
<LongitudeDegrees>107.11280822753906</LongitudeDegrees>
</Position>
Strava
<Time>2017-07-05T04:40:57Z</Time>
<Position>
<LatitudeDegrees>10.3857360</LatitudeDegrees>
<LongitudeDegrees>107.1127090</LongitudeDegrees>
</Position>
Here the difference is ~10.8 meters.
so you want to tell me that the watch is very precise and Strava is castrating down the results ?!?!?!!
I have installed the python scripts and extracted the data to GPX files.
One of them I uploaded to Strava and then re downloaded it again.
And the downloaded one was with Single precision.
But it was only off on a few points in a 12.5 Km run.
So it is a combination of Strava storing everything as a single ( not double ) .
But even there the data from the Amazfit was drifting, but it was a run through a forest.
If it was only for the precision it wouldn't really matter that much ( maximum of ~0.5 meters ).
So it seems that
1 - The Amazfit is drifting, and
2 - the upload to Strava sometimes does a strange "correction" to the data.
Thanks a lot Trần :good: this has been reported to the team and we are looking into it.

Just my thinking, the problem happened when syncing to Strava, and we got the bad final result.

Thank you so much for your responding! :good:
Single/double Precision is a programming/computing term.
Compared to Double they have a smaller range and therefore are easier to store, but not as accurate.

If netzkobold said that it was reported to the team, trust me, Huami are working on it.
I also have this problem. The drift is sometimes 20+ meters from the road so some Strava segments are not captured. I have downloaded the raw data from the watch (gpx file via python script) and uploaded that manually to Strava and it is perfect. Definitely something is happening when you sync to Strava via the Amazfit app. I can upload my files if anyone is interested.

Android Wear apps modified for Amazfit Pace?

Hi,
there's a place where I can find some good app (apk) modified to works on my Amazfit Pace? I've already installed ADB...
Don't think so, Android wear app don't work on Amazfit
Yes, it is possible. The info was provided in another forum (requires registration), for watches that use full Android instead of Wear, like Amazfit Pace. I've found this info here:
http://amazfitcentral.com/2017/11/16/use-android-wear-apps-amazfit-pace/
I have successfully ported some, it's not that hard. Most apps for AW 1.5 that doesn't require the companion phone app to work are very easy to install on Pace.
Thanks!

This apps works well with small round displays, and can sync over wifi so you can use your computer or phone to enter data and read it on your watch:
- TickTick (very good reminder app even in free version, can connect with Twitter or email account)
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ticktick.task
TickTick usually uses RAM while on background (needed for sync and notifications, of course), otherwise it performs very well. I just wanted TickTick to remove the top bar when scrolling an item when viewing it.
Tick Tick Installed on Phone
Hi
Thank you very much for the reply.
I just installed the Tick Tick in my Mobile phone, but this app is for Mobile phone and not for Amazefit pace watch.
Is the Mobile app able to remind me on my Amaze fit watch.
Thanks in advance.

No, it doesn't work, it doesn't support Android 5.1 (the version on Pace). But you know you can upload GPX data to watch and use it, right? If you need an offline map, you can try OsmAnd or Galileo (version 1.6.6 works very well on Pace).
do you have link to pace apk for Osmand and Galileo?

Hello. Did you read my previous comment? You must download and install the regular app (the same used on phones) to the watch. Then open it and choose the account to sync it using WiFi.
If you need help installing apps on watch:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/amazfit-pace-enable-app-list-install-t3639617
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo-SIiBa25w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR-j_aCsu_A
Once TickTick is installed on watch, connect with your Twitter account (you must have done this on phone too, same account, so it can sync to watch). You will need a browser, I recommend installing XBrowser on watch too, it is small and works well. You may want to install PaceOn too, it turns WiFi on and keep the screen on so it doesn't disconnect.

Sorry, but I don't like to apps outside Play Store. That said, I have used files downloaded from APKMirror or APKPure (I can't guarantee this one is safe), OsmAnd is version 2.5.3 and Galileo Free is 1.6.6.
Regarding hiking, I have tested both regular apps (the one that runs on phones) and they work somehow on Pace too, ViewRanger is very sluggish, but AlpineQuest runs surprisingly well (only the paid version records tracks tho):

Hello,
Since there is no possibility to add a custom workout profile (cardio, weight training etc), it is possible to install Endomondo or Sports Tracker apk on the Pace 2 (Stratos) and run it to track indoor workouts like weight lifting, cardio etc.? If it is possible, then would like to know if I can also port the daily tracking metrics to those apps? This is the only feature that I'm missing and it is stopping me to buy this wonderful watch.
I think all they have to do is add a feature to add a custom workout profile and allow the user to choose the data points in the same way Garmin allows.
Please help.

Anyone helping building a new companion app to send data to the Stratos/Pace Watch?

Hi there,
i'm trying to build a companion app similar to watchdroid with wich i can send data to the watch and display them on a widget/springboard.
In my case i wan't to have my blood glucose level on my watch as i was used to with my android wear watch.
I have a simply app made with taske wich can read out a json from my nightscout site. This sadly work only via wifi.
Main problem is the bluetooth comunication. i've tried so many simply bluetooth apps and librarys via sideload. I can't even tell how many. Non of them worked out. Only some worked in watch to phone direction but not the other - desired - way. In almost every case, my phone could'nt even find the watch.
But since watch droid got it working, i know there is a way.
There is another way to get data to the watch: the notification system. Since i also could'nt get the notification listener to work on the watch, it is also not a starting point for me.
Last chance i see is automizing watchdroid and sending a file at a regulary scedule and reading this from the widget.
For the moment i just use Notify and fitness cause the Phone notification with my glucose level is persistent and the huami app ignores persistent notifications.
But get a new notification with my glucose level every 5 Minutes. On the phone the notification gets just updated, on the watch i get a new one. Over the day the notification stack gets fuller and fuller...
I'm not talking about geting this into a watchface, thats the next step after the next hundreds of steps.
Any help and tipps are welcome.
When a notification is dismissed on the phone, it should dismiss on the watch.
If you have the source to this app, you could make it dismiss it's notification and send a new one.

Yes, it's freestyle libre with ambrosia blucon nightrider for nfc readout and transmission every 5 min. The app i use is xdrip+.
The notification is persistent to keep the data collector service running, to show the value on the notificatiin icon even on the aod of samsungs.

ah yes anyway, the price of "ambrosia blucon nightrider" as we say at home "it stings the eyes". before you give me the answer I was wondering how you did to get back the FreeStyle scan, so I understand. on the other hand to use the nightscout, it is a little the course of the fighter ... a lot of account to create. damage that the app glimp or other does not regroup suddenly!
It's currently my intention to build a framework for both phone and watch to allow apps to get data from the internet at some point in the next few months. I'm stuck with work to do at the moment so don't have any time to put towards projects (especially not big ones like that) but in the future - probably
I'd ideally also like to get Android Wear (not Wear OS, it's an old version) working too, to allow at least some companion apps to function (Sleep as Android, Keep etc.). I've got the framework working fine (which does improve app compatibility, but no communication still severely limits what they can do), but the two way Bluetooth connection throws an error that I cannot find any documentation about, so it's on hold for now until I have sufficient time to investigate properly
This would be awesome to have a framework like this. In my case i would'nt even need real internet access, due to the web service is localy provided by the xdrip app. But this would open so many things and possible options to code. Let me know if i could help. I'm also short in time but willing to help.
Getting Android wear working on the pace/stratos would also be great. I tried out sideloading the micro apk for wear of xdrip+ and it worked out better than expected. No crashes from the app and even the integrated watchfaces were selectable. Of course there were no data shown and no low power watchface.

It might actually be possible to build a newer version of Android, source code exists for the CPU and MIPS sources exist all the way up to Oreo, but again that would take time I don't have (and space for that matter)

Hi, great news. Will this work on Amazfit BIP ?
Since the Bip does not rely on the AmazFit Watch app, i'd say no.
Can you show on the photo the indications of the xdrip on the watch? how it works.
Hi, i'm now trying to integrate quinnys library into xDrip, to make thinks easy and to allow 2 way communication.
Since xDrip is a really big and complex project + i'm a noop i'm having trouble with providing a switch in the menus and finding the right place to start the service from. Maybe someone can help me out again.
I am also really interest of amazfit bit. I saw now, xdrip have one section called "amazfit synk service" look like can connect with this kind of phones. Are there news to see the value on the display?

You should ask this the devs of glimp.

GPS clock synchronisation?

Is it possible to write an app for Stratos/Pace which would use data from GPS to synchronise internal clock? GPS satelites all have atomic clocks on board so the time stamps they send are super precise as that's how triangulation of the position is achieved. I'm wondering if something like this would be at all doable considering all the OS constraints?
Possible, it is. But root is required to change date/time, so probably it wouldn't be that useful...

lfom already has good answers above.
Here is just my 2 cents.
The OS on the watch is Android 5.1, so basically any Android app (for MIPS) works on it.
Android, however, requires an app with system permission to change time, so you need root or make the app a system app.
That being said, I believe the Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides as accurate time as GPS and it's easier to deal with NTP in programming.
There are already a few existing Android apps syncing time using GPS/NTP, but those are not designed for small screens. My favorite one is called ClockSync which utilises NTP, requires Internet access, and works on my rooted watch.
I am on rooted Stratos. This is massively interesting to me. This is basically one of two things I need to get rid of official Huami spyware sending the data god knows where. That shady app always first syncs your health records and only then gets almanac data. If there were a way to do that without them, it would remove a huge dependency on their servers for the future. I mean they can turn off the infra in one year and GPS will be virtually unusable. It'd take forever to get a fix.
@anox, do you have some app for this? I found the only app with aGPS xtra.bin download possibility so far here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps
They claim it works for Qualcomm chips (but I have no idea what powers Stratos):
aGPS Alamanacs
Derek Gordon maintains a special aGPS almanac for devices using Qualcomm or similar chipsets. This xtra.bin data file is updated every 30 minutes and is located on a content delivery system maintained by the generous donations of ther userbase.

I am on rooted Stratos. This is massively interesting to me. This is basically one of two things I need to get rid of official Huami spyware sending the data god knows where. That shady app always first syncs your health records and only then gets almanac data. If there were a way to do that without them, it would remove a huge dependency on their servers for the future. I mean they can turn off the infra in one year and GPS will be virtually unusable. It'd take forever to get a fix.

Interesting idea. Sounds tough, though.
@anox, do you have some app for this? I found the only app with aGPS xtra.bin download possibility so far here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps
They claim it works for Qualcomm chips (but I have no idea what powers Stratos):

A few others I've tried on my phones are GPS Status & Tool Box and GPS Test. Pace/Stratos has Ingenic M200S chip.
If I remember it correctly, GPS Test runs on my Pace as well, though I've never tried its aGPS data download on the watch. Here's the link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest

Sounds even tougher.

Some problems with Amazfit BIP

Hi @All
I have some issues with my Amazfit bip.
First some informations:
Firmware: 1.1.6.48
A-GPS: up to date
Now to my problems:
1. If I start a workout like Outdoor running my amazfit ne approx 7-10 min to get GPS connection. And I'm not inside my Appartement.
2. I have no Idea what I have to configure to use Amazfit original app and Notify& Fitness for Amazfit together.
I like Notify a lot but I think that the Firmware Update Process from the Original App is just better.
I also don't want the permanent Notifications from both apps in notification bar.
Can you help me please?
Best regards
Stephan
N & F can be used together with MiFit or by itself by pairing the BIP with it.
While I prefer N & F for pretty much everything and use it without MiFit, there is one problem - N & F can't update the AGPS, so you would have to use MiFit for that.
However, I also don't understand why your GPS connection takes so long, since it's up to date.
If you run both apps, I don't think there's any way to get around the need for persistent notifications for each, to make sure they aren't killed by Android.
Sorry I couldn't actually be of much help!
Is there someone who can help me with my major problem?
Best regards,
Stephan
