GPS update issue - Amazfit

After updating to Portuguese version my Amazfit Bip (it came in chinese version) shows that it's updating the GPS, but then the Mi Fit app closes. Anyone know how to fix it?

Solved for me
Yes. I installed pt-br version and had the same problem. You can do one thing to solve, worked for me. Fisrt: fastly disconnect the amazfit from mi fit. After go to config of your phone and put it in English. Starts mi fit again and connect amazfit bip again. Done, de gps will gonna update and after all you can take your phone back to your language.

Amazfit Bip Blocked

I have an Amazfit Bip clock and it has blocked in "Activity" page.
The touch screen does not respond, the physical side button either, the Mi Fit fails to connect, ...
The clock continuously displays that "Activity" menu screen and you can not interact with it.
How can I reset it or what should I do to use the watch?
I use Mi Fit 3.0.5, FW-0.9.14
Thanks

Yes, it happens when BIP trying updating A-GPS data. Run MiFit, keep watch close phone and let him update. Sometimes is failed, but close MiFit, clear memory and try again until success.
Thanks a lot.
In fact, it must be something related to what you say, becasuse as soon as the clock was recovered and connected again to the Mi Fit, it began to update the A-GPS.
What I do not know is if the solution you proposed works, because while it was blocked, the Mi Fit did not recognize it (it always put Connecting ...), it did not connect and I mismatched it and then I could not find it to link it again. That is, there was no bluetooth connection between My Fit and Clock, so I do not know how I could have updated the A-GPS clock trough the Mi Fit
Fortunately, the clock went off and when I put it to charge it started well and it works.
Hi there,
since today i have got the same problem. Sadly the battery is charged 100% so waiting for discharge may take some time. Does somebody know how to reset or force reboot or force discharge the watch?
Thanks in advance!
Amazfit bip problem
Hi, i got exactly the same problem with you..
After i switched my smartphone (from huawei P9 to LG V20) My amazfit Bip suddenly updating A GPS and after that, the touch display is hardly responding, then when i long press the button, it start to displays workout session that cannot be stopped or interrupted in the meantime, Mi Fit can not sync/interract during workout session).
After spent several frustating days, finally i conclude that the main issue is the firmware.
So here is what i did :
- Let the Amazfit watch battery drain (since the activity/workout session can not be stopped, it will drain faster than ussual).
- Recharge the watch until more than 10% and re-connect it to Mi Fit app. (Don't charge it too long, because when something goes wrong you will have to take time to drain the battery again).
- Download NOTIFY & FITNESS FOR AMAZFIT" app from google playstore and connect your Amazfit with the app.
- When the Amazfit Bip paired to Notify & Fitness For Amazfit,
unpaired the watch from the Mi Fit App, then uninstall Mi Fit from your phone.
- Now you have only 'Notify & Fitness for Amazfit' app connected to your amazfit bip.
.- Go to setting section in the app, scroll down and you will find firmware update section, then update the amazfit firmware (you will find some option : english/spain/italian etc., i've choosen english version)
- There imare 3 items that you have to sequintly update one by one : firmware, recources and gps (i failed to update the gps, but all i know, it doesn't matter anyway...)
- After the update finished (sometimes it failed, but i repeat it on and on untill it's succeed), my amazfit starts to work proper and not displaying work out session anymore.
Notify & Fitness for Amazfit is my saviour!
It works better than the official Mi Fit app.
Blocked after Workout
I also had a blocked Amazfit Bip:
On my first workout (a 3 hour bicyle ride), I wanted to stop it. Unfortunately the watch always restarted the workout again.
First I thought that I had double tapped the screen after pressing the Ok (to finish) button. But I tried this for at least 30 times. It always restartet the workout.
I still got a connection from the Mi Fit App, but it told me that the watch is within a workout.
I disconnected / reconnected the MiFit App several times and somehow I was able to quit the Workout.
I immediately switched off the watch, restarted and everything was fine again. No new firmware flashing was required.
I only have it since two days.
[Firmware 0.1.0.26]

Amazfit Bip screen is stuck

Hi all!
I faced a problem after installing the latest update from the Mi Fit official app.
Amazfit Bip is stuck on "smartphone <--> watch"
The watch at night decided to update, the phone was in power saving mode and apparently the update hung in the process.
Now on the watch screen only one picture as on an attached screenshot "smartphone <--> watch"
I have been installed several fw's, .res and .gps files by Gadget Bridge (from 0.0.9.49 to 0.1.0.45) tried 20 times but after flashing "smartphone <--> watch" screen appears again.
Now watches works like 1st Mi Band (steps taken appears in Mi Fit app)
Any idea how this can be fixed?
Thank you in advance!
http ://prntscr.com/i2pq06
Partially repaired by downgrading fw to v.0.0.8.74. In this fw watches display works correctly (shows time and I can switch menus). Upgrading to fw above 0.0.8.74 leads to stuck display.
Did you try to set the system language (temporarily) to english? You have no location in your profile so I could only guess. The german mi fit app seems to have this error, too, and un-/re-pairing after setting system language to english is a temporary fix here. Its annoying because after the next update - sometimes agps sync is enough to trigger it - the same error occurs again.

Unpair Amazfit BIP from the mi fit app (at the bottom of the device settings screen).
Close mi fit app.
Switch system language to english (somewhere in the phone's settings, differs from device to device).
Start mi fit app.
Connect Amazfit BIP with mi fit app (if you don't have any other smart devices connected, this should be accessible from the first screen).
Confirm connection on the BIP.
Wait for any update/GPS/AGPS/sync to be finished.
The Amazfit BIP should now work. Maybe some settings have been reset and the watchface is back to default.
It should be safe to switch the system language back to what it was.
This fix is not permanent. It happened again, when I changed some settings and alarms in the mi fit app, and after an AGPS update (this should be made optional!). But I could not nail down the trigger, as it's running as expected now. I don't know if that's applicable for other languages as well as I only use german - and english for short periods lately.
hi
did the folwoing steps but still dispaly the parring pic,
please any other ideas?

Sorry, no idea. If you did the unpairing before the language switching and then the re-pairing, it should partly reset the BIP (but no factory reset, that could only be done from the watch menu).
It's a pity, they did not build in a way to shut down the watch. Some people reported, that after the watch completely drained its battery,, it worked afterwards (but maybe only until the next sync).
Better write to huami for a fix to that.
Btw. I had to reconnect my watch two times today, so I better leave the mi app alone until I get home or my goal is finished. The re-pairing and agps update drains my phone battery quit a lot.

Thanks, but that's exactly the version I am running and that triggered the (buggy) firmware update in the first place.
I have a shortcut for my workaround. While the bug is triggered by any sync apart from steps, it also occurs when notifications are deleted from the watch. I set my phone to english and it seems to be enough to switch bluetooth off and on to reactivate the watch (on my german phone).
That way I don't loose the step counter and settings on the watch. Not that much of a hassle as before, but still annoying. I hope for an update of the firmware soon. Does anybody know a kontact to huami for the BIP? I just found one for the Pace and the Arc, but nothing for the BIP.
A was able to "unstuck" my Bip. Here are my steps:
1. unpair watch
2. Switch phone do English UK
3. Reboot phone
4. Pair watch again with Mi Fit app -> I was able to pair my watch on 2nd try. You should see now a time on display (after update of AGPS).
5. Switch phone back to your language
I think, we have to wait for an update for the firmware. Please report this bug via the mi fit app (the reporting function is a little bit buggy as it requires several tries most of the time). You can include the watch logs as well, maybe that helps to eliminate this bug.
My workaround is rather quick - close mi fit app if open, set phone language to English, wait for the phone to rearrange things, disable bluetooth, wait a short time, enable bluetooth, tap amazfit watch in list, start mi fit app, watch back working without settings and steps lost.
I admit, I am too lazy for that, so I just leave the phone set to englisch until this is sorted out...

Same issue with my brand new BIP i have just received yesterday.
After pairing, it syncs with the Mi Fit app but the screen stuck in the phone <--> watch screen.
I changed the phone language to English (from Hungarian), pairing is fully done now with watch screen nicely working too.
Anybody ideas on why this is happening and how it should be resolved?

I am having the same problem. Stuck in the "pairing screen". What can I do?
I also had the same problem in my OnePlus phone. My language was already English. Suddenly watch displayed Spanish language error saying asking to reconnect to phone.
I tried all the above methods but nothing worked even after multiple restarts and unpair/uninstall and watch still showing same error
I paired the watch with different smartphone. At that time it updated resources and agps then mi fit keeps crashing again
Don't know what to do and watch has more than 75 percent battery also. This is becoming really annoying. Not expected from a manufacturer like xiaomi

How to unpair device without it

Hi, I've got this problem. I had an Amazfit Bip paired with my phone (OP5t) and MiFit. Now I lost it, and I bought an Amazfit Arc (if you don't know it, it's more or less a MiBand2).
But I can't pair it with MiFit. And why? Because MiFit says that I must first unpair the Bip, but when I try it, it says that first it needs to connect to the Bip...that I have no more...
I tried to clean the memory of the app, remove the Bip from the paired devices, uninstall and install again MiFit but the problem is still there.
I searched the internet but found nothing.
Thank you.

Can't pair Amazfit stratos

Hi,all
today I'm received a Amazfit stratos ( International version A1619 ) but I can't pair it with Amazfit watch app.
After I'm scan the QR code and click OK on watch for pair it with amazfit watch app. It's show error "Pair failed"
- Amazfit watch app lastest version on Play store (2.3.1-play)
- Already full charge battery.
- Try to reboot stratos / reboot smart phone ( not work same error not pair)
- Try switch login by facebook, gmail or create amazfit account and login but same result.
- Try turn off/on bluetooth of my smartphone
who have another solutions for this issue. :crying:
Thank you.
You forgot an important info: phone model and Android version? It won't pair if the firmware isn't up-to-dat, you will have to first pair with another phone using Android 7.1 or order, update firmware, unpair and then pair with your phone.
Hi!
I needed a couple of retry before it pairs.
I guess you already tried but some may be interested.
It looks like the pairing process is not an example of hi reliability....

The Stratos pairs fine with 8.0+ from factory, only the Pace doesn't
I see... So maybe the problem is the Bluetooth/WiFi interference. He can try to put phone in airplane mode and enable only Bluetooth. Make sure the watch isn't listed in the Bluetooth settings of phone, the pairing process should be done using the Amazfit app only.
Update:
delete all application smartwatch & smartband all brand in my phone
and all tool for configure smartband ( I'm ever use amazfit bip and another brand to custom it.)
I think It's has some conflict in bluetooth signal.
Now, I can pair my stratos and see my first watch face Yeh. :victory:
Thank all.

Bad bluetooth connection with Amazfit and Bip/Bip S

I've been using an Amazfit Bip together with the Mi Fit app for a long time without any problems. The Bip hardly ever lost connection to the phone. Then I bought an Amazfit Bip S and as the Mi Fit app does not support it, I had to use the Amazfit app. I recognized that the Bip S permanently lost bluetooth connection to the phone, no matter what settings I changed. So I thought it would be a problem of the Bip S and bought a normal Bip again. But same problem... if the phone does not lie directly on the table, most of the time Bip has no bluetooth connection. Even if the phone is in its case on my belt, the Bip loses connection.
So it must have something to do with the Amazfit app, I guess. Somewhere I read that if you uninstall and reinstall it, Bluetooth connection problems may be gone. But if I uninstall the app, I lose all data, so before I do that I try to investigate what could be the problem.
The phone is a Blackview BV9700 Pro. I already cleared all data and cache of the Bluetooth app. I restarted the phone. I turned Bluetooth off and on again. I turned the option for a permanent notification in the Amazfit app on and off, makes no difference.
Can anyone confirm that the Amazfit app has a bad Bluetooth connection compared to the Mi Fit app? Could the problem be caused because both apps were installed at the same time at the beginning? I had Mi Fit installed, installed Amazfit and because the Bip was recognized by both apps I uninstalled Mi Fit and kept only Amazfit.

Hello,
Few things:
- I would recommend you to use only one App, AmazFit or MiFit at a time. I guess AMazFit is preferable depending on the watch you have. Unpair from one app and uninstall the app you don't want to use
- if you uninstall and reinstall the Amazfit or MiFit app with same credentials, Mi account or with mail/phone number, you should recover your data saved and you won't loose all your history. Maybe the one from the current day, I think. I jumped from MiFit to Amzfit with same account with no problem, recovering data for many years
- concerning the bluetooth, not sure what OS your are using, iOS or Android. You could check in the Amazfit or Mi Fit app properties if the OS is not using "battery saver" functions. Sometimes, by default, the battery saving is in "restricted mode" which can affect connections like wifi/bluetooth to save power. Try to see if you have this battery saving function ON and set to "no restrictions" - at least this is what I do on my Android phone.

Yeah - as I wrote I uninstalled Mi Fit and only use Amazfit now.

Hm, now as you said it... the Amazfit app also loaded the data from the Mi account.

The phone uses Android 9. The Amazfit app is not restricted by any battery saving modes as I put it on "Not optimized" just like the Mi Fit app before.
